Meditation, Nonduality, Spiritual Enlightenment

Why I don’t teach advaita. I lived with a fully enlightened master for 5 years.  And I say fully enlightened because I do not experience the majority of  Advaita teachers to be fully enlightened.  But more on that later. 

Salvikalpa Samadhi (or Savikalpa Samadhi) is when thoughts can still come, but there is no identification with them.  They arise and disappear while you remain as the witness.  You could also call this state of Samadhi an advanced state of “Witness Consciousness.” 

When you are in this state, you have no personal identity, you rest as awareness itself.   

How it begins: 

Once you are established in being a witness to your thoughts, the thoughts change.  Your thoughts started off as personal thoughts, what you have to do, what you want to do, what you are worried about, what happened in your past etc.  You also think linear.  One thought leads to another and to another. 

But as you enter witness consciousness, the thoughts become random, they are no longer personal.  They arise and disappear independently of each other.  You can see pictures or have dreams/visions of things you have never seen before, that cannot even be explained in words.  You can experience yourself as a completely different person in a completely different place, yet still you remain a witness to it, there is not identification with it.  Almost as though you can hover above the vision without every becoming it.   

When you dream at night, you become a part of the dream, you are in it, but in this state of Samadhi, you are simply watching it like watching a movie. 

The greatest part of Salvikalpa Samadhi is that your attachment to your identity and thoughts are broken for the period of time you remain in Samadhi.  It is as thought the huge weight of who you believe yourself to be is taken away.  You have no name, no physical boundaries, no weight, no problems.  All worries, desires, judgments and attachments are gone.  This brings incredible peace and bliss.  Like being in a deep state of blissful sleep yet fully conscious.  If you can remain a witness to these visions/dreams, you disappear deeper and deeper into consciousness itself.  Thoughts can appear slower, less often and there can be long gaps of utter silence.  Consciousness like the sun, burning brighter and brighter. 

In this state, the bliss that floods every cell of your being is incredible.  It is as though every cell of your energetic body (the physical is no longer dominant) is singing, humming, vibrating in bliss.  You experience incredible healing as all of the energy gushes through your energetic form.  It is the doorway to Nirvikalpa Samadhi. 

Salvikalpa Samdhi is not just about witnessing the thoughts but that is how it begins.  As said above, Salvikalpa Samadhi is defined when your individual attachment and identification is broken.  So that there is no individual “you.”  There is no ego.  There is just consciousness experiencing whatever arises out of itself.  Completely unaffected by whatever arises and disappears. 

How you attain Savikalpa Samdhi is simple:    Become a witness to your thoughts.  Be so vigilant in your focus that when every thought arises, be a complete witness to that thought, do not touch it, do not get involved with it, keep your focus on being the witness.   This is not a mental experience and cannot be done with the mind. 

These words can only point.  You have to practice it.  It is an advanced state of meditation.  It is effort while remaining effortless. 

Awareness is your very nature.   It is not an action that you do, awareness simply is.  But because you are so addicted to identifying with thoughts, there must be the intense focus to not get involved with the thoughts. 

In beginning meditation, there are so many thoughts and you are so used to being identified with the thoughts that you will not even understand what being a witness is.  So at first, a technique is needed, like watching your breath or asking “who am I?” 

The other part of meditation is to allow whatever sensation is here to be as it is.  This is how you begin in meditation, by accepting whatever is here, by allowing yourself to experience whatever is here in the moment.   If you really look in this moment, you will see you are constantly resisting being present.  Being present for more than a few seconds is intense, can often feel painful at times.  So a large part of meditation is experiencing yourself as you are in this moment, allowing yourself to feel whatever is here in the moment as sensation, without getting involved with it, without defining it, judging it or analysing it. Once you can accept and allow yourself to experience whatever is there, then you can move into witness consciousness.  If you try to be a witness before being able to accept your experience in the moment, it probably will be forced and only reinforce the ego. 

So if you are new to meditation, begin with a technique and practice allowing yourself to experience what is here.  This will be very peaceful in itself.  You will begin to experience yourself as being, as presence itself.   It is not “I am a person” but simply “I am”

Once established in being as presence in the moment, then you move into witness consciousness.  As you become a witness to your thoughts, by grace, Salvikalpa Samadhi simply happens.  You can go to the point of witnessing, and then it is consciousness itself that takes over and for the period of time in Samadhi, the ego is gone.

It is perfect to be agnostic and attain unconditional peace, happiness and enlightenment.  In fact, in many ways, it makes attaining enlightenment much easier. 

For would you rather believe in enlightenment or would you rather be enlightened?  Would you rather believe in unconditional peace or would you rather live in a state of unconditional peace? 

For if you want to live enlightenment and unconditional peace, you have to truly become agnostic.   

It has always been said that happiness and peace is your very nature.  So to attain enlightenment, you have to experience yourself as you truly are beyond all beliefs, concepts, opinions and dogmas.   

It is not about becoming something, but rather to truly experience yourself as you are in this moment.  To be honest about what is here in this moment. 

Here’s an example:  Say you are sitting on a park bench, a stranger walks by, steps on your foot, doesn’t say anything and keeps on walking.  That is the truth of it in that moment.  Someone stepped on your foot and kept on walking.  Now it has passed. 

But there are a thousand thoughts that come rushing forth: “How rude of that man to step on my foot and not apologize,”  then “He must hate me” then “Why is everyone so mean to me?” then “He is everything that is wrong with this world.” Then “It would be justified for me to run after him and step on his foot.” Then “He probably would try and hit me but then I would deck him and it would feel really good…”  

On and on it goes.  Most of the thoughts you are not even aware of but still they deeply effect you because you are identified with your thoughts.  But all of the thoughts are untrue, all of it is nonsense.  The truth of it is that a man stepped on your foot.  Then it passed.  Everything else is untrue.  Whatever you say about why the man stepped on your foot is pure speculation, whatever scenarios you imagine about what might happen next are all fantasy.   

And the man stepped on your foot once.  But you replay the scene in your mind hundreds of times.  So one step on your foot turns into someone stepping on your foot hundreds of times.  But it has passed; no one is stepping on your foot now!  Quite funny if you think about it. 

So you see in this, all thought about the incident has no truth.  The only true part was a man stepped on your foot. The truth now is you are simply sitting on the park bench. 

A woman once asked a great enlightened teacher named Sri Anandagiri “I want to feel love.  I want my heart to open.” 

Anandagiri asked “Which is true:  That you want to feel love, or that you do not feel love now?” 

She replied “That I want to feel love.” 

“No” He said, “You know the truth.  The truth is that right now you do not feel love.  What you would like to feel is not the truth.” 

Because the idea that she would like to feel love was simply a thought.  A thought that she made important, but it had nothing to do with her experience in the moment, it was only a resistance to what she was experiencing in the moment.  And that is stressful. 

Because peace, happiness and enlightenment is not about becoming something.  It is about experiencing yourself as you are in this moment.  The idea from the ego is that you should be different than you are.  But you are as you are.  That is the truth.  The truth simply is.  And in being aware of what is, there is peace, there is happiness. 

So I ask you to look in this moment, purely agnostic.  What is your experience in this moment?   

And you might say “I want to feel peaceful.” 

But that is not what you experience in this moment, that is only a thought that you identify with.  It has nothing to do with what you are experiencing right now. 

You say, “I feel unhappy.” 

Better, more honest.  But still, that is just a label, a judgment on what you are actually experiencing.  What does unhappy feel like? 

“There is a tightness in my chest.” 

Good.  Can you allow yourself to experience that tight sensation in your chest?  Because if you can allow yourself to experience that tightness, as sensation, then there is peace. 

“The tightness is there because I got in an argument with my wife this morning.” 

But that is just an idea.  Can you prove that?  There is a tightness sensation in your chest, that is what you know in this moment.  Why it is there is just speculation.  The reason for it being there is just a thought.   

The truth is this moment, not what you remember.  You keep carrying your past with you.  But your past is past.  This moment is fresh and new.  Life is happening here and now.  Your responsibility is simply to notice what is here and now.  To be honest about what is here and now. 

“But I don’t want to feel this tightness in my chest.” 

But who doesn’t want to feel it?  Is that not just a thought that you identify with? 

“But I thought that thought.” 

But who is the ‘I’ that thought it?  You assume that you are that thought.  But if you look, the thought came by itself.  If you look, the thought arises and there is the action of identification, you grab hold of that thought and make it you.  But you are not a thought.  The thought will come and go and you will remain. 

“There is resistance to feeling the tightness in my chest.” 

Yes, very good.  Be aware of the sensation of resistance.  That is all you have to do.  There is a sensation in your chest, there is a sensation of resisting that sensation.  Can you allow all this to be?  If you do this, the resistance will fall away.  Then all will be left is that sensation in your chest.  That will eventually change too.  But you remain as awareness. 

If you investigate this moment like this, seeing what is true and what is untrue, you will see that all thinking is just that, thought.  It has no truth in what is actually happening.  You will see thoughts come and go, sensations come and go and change, but you remain aware of everything. 

The one thing you cannot deny is this awareness.  In fact, you cannot separate you, this moment and awareness.  If you are here, you are aware.  And you are always here.   

You seem to get caught up in thoughts.  If you get caught up in thinking about where you grew up, it seems you are there where you grew up.  But the moment you realize you are caught up in your thinking, you will see, you are here and you always were here.  It was just an idea, an illusion that you were somewhere else. 

So you know awareness is the truth.  You cannot deny awareness.  Whatever arises or disappears there is still always awareness here.  So if you rest in awareness, in being aware of whatever arises, you remain true to this moment.  And you will find that the very nature of awareness is peace, love and happiness.  And that the realization that you are awareness and that all arises out of awareness is enlightenment itself. 

So in questioning everything, you come to the conclusion that you truly know nothing.  That any commentary about the moment is just thought arising.    

But you remain as awareness.  There is always awareness.  And the nature of awareness is unconditional peace.  Peace that is here for no reason.  Happiness that is here for no reason.  Simply because you are. 

So to be truly agnostic is a perfect guide to finding unconditional peace, happiness and enlightenment.

“If you really look at
every desire you have,
it is there to avoid
feeling what is here in this moment.
 
You set goals
and make plans.
 
And do many enjoyable
and fun things.

And all of this is lovely.
 
But after you attain what you want,
after you have had your holiday
or won the marathon,
you are again faced
with yourself
in this moment.
 
You are again confronted
with whatever is here in this moment
that you keep avoiding.
 
It might be emptiness,
or sadness,
or loneliness.
 
Boredom really is a state
where you have run out of ways
of distracting yourself from this moment.
 
So you invent more and more ways,
more and more actions
to keep your from stillness.
 
Unfortunately,
in all of this seeking happiness,
you are avoiding happiness.
 
I suggest to you,
in love,
to stop avoiding this moment.
 
To stop looking to feel something
else than what is here.
 
Even if it is emptiness,
to surrender yourself
to that emptiness.
 
To truly be here
in this moment.
To give yourself completely
in silence
to being present
here and now.
 
Because here,
beyond what you are avoiding
lies unconditional happiness.
 
What you were looking for
all along.

There is nothing you need to do.
Just stop all doing.
Stop all action.
 
Let go of everything
that can be let go of.
 
Then there is unfathomable peace.
Subtler and subtler levels of awareness.
 
The weight and stress
of ego
disappears in an instant,
and you rest as radiance.
 
Once you really
surrender into stillness,
and experience this peace,
you may never want to leave.
 
Blessings,
 
Kip”

It is in experiencing what is here in this moment that you find unconditional love and happiness.

Unfortunately, the habit is to avoid this moment, thus creating stress and unhappiness.

Everyone is seeking the same thing. You can say either they are seeking happiness or to get out of their pain.

The thing about it is, like a fly caught in a spider web, the more you try to get out of your pain, the more stuck in the pain you become.

That is where desire is born. Where seeking is born. You look here and there to try and find a way out of your pain, to find happiness and love. Most people are not even aware of their pain. Yet if you look, you will see how you are constantly seeking something to take you out of this moment, to keep you from experiencing what is here. There is a discomfort here, the need to be distracted by something in order to feel good. But you have gotten used to this discomfort, and you have gotten really good at avoiding it. The main way you avoid it is through thinking.

There are layers and layers of mental activity on top of that pain, there are a million tasks and distractions that keep you from ever becoming consciously aware of that pain.

If you really look at why you do the things you do, it is that they give you some sort of pleasure or relief. You want to win the race because it feels good for a short time that you won. You want an icecream because while you are eating that ice cream, there is a certain amount of pleasure. You may even want to be angry at someone, because you get a certain amount of relief by focusing that anger at someone.

If you are bored, you seek any means to overcome that boredom. Because all boredom really is, is the state where you have run out of ways to distract yourself from this moment.

So you seek to fulfill desires. First it may be instant gratification desires like sex and drugs. Then there are material desires, or desires for success, to find a relationship. Then desires to improve yourself.

Ultimately, you come to the conclusion that none of these things fulfill you. So you have spiritual desires. You want enlightenment. You enter meditation to get bliss or to be free from your pain.

All of this is the natural progression of the ego. It is how it is supposed to be.

But then you come here, you come to a place that can teach you true meditation, as a path to enlightenment. As a way to be free from your pain, to fill you with bliss.

And you find bliss for a time, you find freedom from pain to an extent temporarily. But still, although better than everything else, it still does not fulfill you.

So if you want to be free from all of this seeking, from this pain, if you really want to experience true unconditional happiness, if you really want to learn true meditation as a path to enlightenment read this closely:

1. Realize, that there is pain, there is unhappiness, discomfort. Most people never stop and experience what they are avoiding in this moment. They say “I am happy.” Yet they are constantly seeking something to fulfill them. Just in seeing that you are looking to be fulfilled means you are not fulfilled now. This very realization will bring your great freedom.

Most people do not believe that it is possible to be happy and blissful. They do not believe what all of the meditation masters have said and that your natural state is peace, bliss and love. That it is possible to live in such a state.

Because if you really look in this moment, if you stop all of your action in this moment, and experience what is here in this moment, without getting lost in your thinking, you will probably find peace. This is good.

But then if you stay with it, you will feel the pain you are always avoiding, and very quickly, you will get lost in your thinking again to avoid feeling what is here in this moment.

So you have to be willing to feel what is here. To see that in every moment, you are avoiding this moment, you are resisting experiencing this moment. To become aware of this habitual resistance is great freedom already.

2. Second thing to do is don’t call what is here unhappiness or pain, simply allow yourself to feel it completely. Accept yourself completely as you are without defining it, judging it. Forget the mind all together. Just allow yourself to feel what is here in this moment as sensation. Notice the sensations you feel of existing in this moment. Surrender to how you are, without trying to change it, improve it or define it. Just feel and breathe.

3. In the beginning, use a technique to help keep you present. Because you will get lost in your thinking again and again. Getting lost in your thoughts is simply the habit to avoid being present and experiencing what is here. It can be as easy as noticing the feeling of your breath moving in and out of your nose. Or silently repeating “I am” with every breath, keeping your attention on this feeling of “I am” or being, beyond the mind.

4. You need enlightened presence. When you sit with someone who has mastered the meditation path all the way to enlightenment, their enlightened presence washes through you, cleaning out your energy channels and awakening that same enlightened presence in you. The easiest way to do this is to meditate The Calling CDs for Spiritual Awakening. Simply by listening to the CD, you are given what is known as shaktipat/deeksha/grace. It awakens your natural state in you in the same way as sitting with an enlightened teacher.

5. In accepting yourself as you are, in allowing yourself to experience what is here in this moment, you naturally become aware, present. Meditating with the Calling CDs spoken about above will make this process very easy and provide a lot of bliss and peace along the way to make it a delicious journey.

6. Be responsible. Stop blaming others for your anger or sadness. Stop hurting others, stop seeking justice or to be right.

In order to awaken to your true nature, you must simply experience what life gives you. This is karma. Allow life to be as it is instead of constantly trying to change everyting and everyone around you. In being present in this, without fighting it, you move very quickly into high states of awareness.

7. Intensify the awareness. Become a witness to your thoughts, really, in every moment in meditation, be absolutely present. Sometimes it is necessary to give up the bliss to be present, at some point, bliss also must be surrendered, so a greater freedom and bliss emerges.

8. You, as a person, as the knower, the wanter, the doer, the one in control, you as an ego is the problem, is the suffering. The more you feed this ego and empower it, the more you will separate yourself from the love that you are. So practice humility. Become aware of how you are always trying to be right, to know everything, to be noticed, to be loved, to be accepted by others. Become aware of the ego’s need to be all of these things. In the awareness of it, you move beyond it.

Beyond ego, beyond mind identification, there is simply awareness, more and more subtle levels of awareness. This is what you truly are, this is where freedom lies.

9. In two words, be present. Completely be here in this moment.

This is true meditation, the path to enlightenment. It is about giving up your fantasies and your memories and living in the now. It is about bringing your attention back to this moment again and again every time you get caught up in your thoughts.

Then life gets really beautiful. Everything begins to be taken care of. You become happy, loving, peaceful, blissful. Not as an ego. But as bliss itself, as love itself. You become a channel for the divine. This is true meditation, the path to enlightenment.

Blessings,

Kip

“The ego existsthrough control.

People often show me books and ask ‘what do you think about this book?”  And I say “Not worth reading.”  And then they say “Kip is very opiniated about most books.”  But didn’t they ask my opinion?

 Words are only here to point.  So much said about absolutely nothing.  A whole book written about nothing and how I attained nothing.  Still, spritual teachers keep writing them and spiritual seekers keep reading them.  Looking to get something, learn something, attain something.  Discuss it with their friends about the latest path to enlightenment.

 I am going to write a spiritual book.  I will give you the whole print of it right now for free.  And I am not making fun of these books.  But here’s my book.  The title is “Shut up.”

When you open it up it says “Sit down, close your eyes and shut up.”

Then that’s it.  You pay 15 bucks.  If you want more you can read the second book, it’s called “Why haven’t You Shut Up?”

 Because you exist as mind.  And so you try to seek freedom from mind from the perspective of mind.  But it is mind you are trying to be free from.  You are trying to get out of the constant noise that you keep identifying with.  At some point, you have to simply close your eyes and be still.  Then the journey starts.  It starts here and ends here. 

Truly, it is not about shutting up.  But that is what eventually happens.  Your only move is to be still and experience what is here, without getting caught up in mind.  Thoughts can arise, visions can arise, sounds can arise, emotions can arise, sensations can arise,

yet you remain here, in this moment, as this moment.  You remain as awareness itself.

First you might be able to stay here for half a second.

Then 2 seconds and three seconds.

Then you will see, here is what you are.  That all of this coming and going chasing this thought and that feeling is just stress, insanity.  Waste of energy.  Yet here, there is the constant flow of energy.

 That is why I make music with the shaktipat sound technology to awaken this in you.  Because with music, you aren’t learning anything.  It is a tool to help you awaken, not more words to talk about awakening but to give you a direct experience of awakening. 

I am not here claim anything.  I am nothing.  God is everything.  Consciousness is everything.  I rest as the divine flow.  I can’t read books.  Simply too many words about what cannot be understood by the mind. 

I simply want to point.  Sit down, close your eyes, shut up and experience what is here in this moment.  Be aware of whatever is here in this moment.  Listen to the Calling www.bliss-music.com/thecalling.htm if you don’t have it already.  It will awaken this awareness in you.  Not that you are not that already.  But there is so much noise on top of it, awareness must be awaken, shaken up.

 I wish you much peace and silence.

Kip

Deeksha, on the web is turning into exactly what is was meant not to be.  It is basically a form of shaktipat, to move you beyond your mind and allow you to experience a greater truth of what is.

Yet, it seems everyone on the web is trading insults, defending and offending, being holier than though or cynical and negative about deeksha.  For some people, deeksha changes their lives, for others, it does nothing.  But more so, everyone has an opinion about it and this has taken away the truth of what it is all about.  It is about getting you beyond your opinions, beyond your mind to experience your true nature.

And if you experience that, you won’t have an opinion any longer.

For any of you that are confused and are looking for some personal experience with deeksha, here I go.

 Most of you know that I create music that washes you in enlightened energetic, helping you to move quickly into high states of meditation.  I am always doing more and more research in how to make this sound technology more powerful, more effective, so eventually, you can put on the CD and dissappear into oneness and be done with all of it!

Well I was doing research and came upon this man named Sri Kalki.  There was a free video of him and his wife to download so I downloaded it.  In watching the video I was amazed.  I had never experienced someone with such a powerful enlightened energetic from a video.  I kept playing the video over and over and was dumfounded. 

I read more, heard about this thing called deeksha which I had no belief in whatsoever.  But still, this guy on the video talking was blowing me away energetically.  So I searched around and found someone about an hour away from me that gave deeksha.  I wrote them and asked if I could have a private one, as I had no interest in doing a workshop, I just wanted to experience this deeksha thing.  They agreed to give me one.

It was a nice suburbian couple sitting there in room in their house.  They spoke a lot of stuff which I ignored for the most part, as I was more amazed at the enlightened presence in this room.

I don’t care about words, or teachings, I go by energetic.  And sitting in this room with this couple, there was quite a presence there.  Whether it came from them or the room I do not know.

They made me do these meditations, which were more exercises than meditations, but if that was what I had to do to find out what this deeksha was, I was happy to do it.

When they finally got to the deeksha part, I experienced an intense kriya just before.  My body went into convulsions and weird sounds were coming out of my throat mouth.  After about 10 minutes, they subsided.

They put their hands on my head one at a time.  And it did not feel like they gave me something like shaktipat, but rather, took a heaviness away off the top of my head.  And I was instantly in a sublime state of bliss, I felt weightless, full of love.

I had been with many enlightened masters, had attained high states of awareness, realized the self, yet, these 2 people could do wonders just putting their hands on my head.

I had another a few days later.  And then had a phone deeksha with Raniji in the US.  I wrote to her afterwards

“Thank you so much for the incredible Phone Diksha.    I love you with all my heart. I never knew there could be so much divine love over a phone call. Jane and Theo from New Zealand asked me to tell them how the phone Diksha was.  Here is the best I could say:

This has been one of the most blissful days in my entire life.  But even
that does not say anything.  You asked if I would email you how the
phone diksha was.  The best description I could give is to cry and smile and
tell you how much I love you.  Even that does not do it but you know it
anyway, what I cannot say, what is always said and I am saying now.”

It was then I signed up to go to the 21 day course.

The first day of the course, we walked in to the hall and they splashed blessed water on my head and I was instantly crying because I was overflowing in love.  Yet I had no idea why.

Most of the 21 day course, I didn’t enjoy myself.   I just wanted to go home.   I found myself annoyed with everyone around me, I missed my dog.  Yet there were certain things that happened that were quite profound, which I won’t go into here.

I will say when I had darshan with Amma, I have never experienced sitting with someone with such presence.  It was as though I was sitting with God.  And I have sat with many fully enlightened masters, but this was something completely different.  I cannot begin to describe the experience.

 It wasn’t really until about a month after I returned that I really noticed the impact the 21 day course had.  Experiencing visions of the divine mother, experiencing the presence of the divine mother that would make me cry and laugh, energy so strong I couldn’t stand up.  And then intense catharsis, purification.  Most of the time just sitting and the energy blowing through me with such force I could not say anything or do anything.

 The 10 day course was the opposite of the 21 day course.  I went into extraordinary states which you can read about here. www.bliss-music.com/cosmic-consciousness.htm

I love Amma and Bhagavan in a way that I cannot make someone else understand.  It is not an egotistical love, it is not their bodies, not their teachings, nor what they do, nor their organization that I love.  It is the essence of what they are and what I am.  This essence is here all of the time.   It is this essence that I call Amma and Bhagavan or any other name that is what I love.  It consumes me, it purifies me, it takes care of me.  It is this essence that I serve, that I live for, it is that which I am in truth.  It is that which destroys the untruth, that breaks down the illusion of separateness in every moment .  It burns away hate and fear so that the essence as love and peace remains. 

It has made me a better person to others, more loving and decent.  At the same time, I dissappear more and more into this essence.  It is challenging and blissful and it leaves me without anything to define or judge.  Just immersion and decency and loving.

 Such essence has no politics, no beliefs, no members, no teachings.  It cannot be argued about or judged.  It is beyond all such things.  It is beyond any sense of “I.”  I do not consider myself part of the Deeksha organization nor against their organization.  I do not consider myself a deeksha giver nor not a deeksha giver.  I give deeksha to those that want it.  Not by doing but it happens.

I have no interest in recommending you do the 21 day course or not.  For everything said about all of it is all opinion, useless opinion.  Whether you believe it is a scam or it is the second coming, it is a belief.   Whether you want to save the world or damn it in cynisism it is all nonsense.   I do not believe that deeksha will save the world nor do I disbelieve it.  It is a nice goal, a nice intention and I hope they succeed. 

 It is the essence that everyone misses in their hatred or self righteousness.  It is the essence you miss by having an opinion, by taking a side.  It is the essence you miss by trying to create it to be an organization or a cult.  None of it is true.  There is no organization, there is no Amma and Bhagavan separate from you.  If you go to the 21 day course, that happens.   It is not about getting anything, it is about it being part of your journey.

The most I can tell you is I am happy I did the 21 day course and the 10 day course.   The Calling CDs are a part of a result of this new power and they are already taking hundreds of people into deeper states of consciousness.  You can check out this link for more info  www.bliss-music.com/thecalling.htm

But what the 21 day course did and the 10 day course did was take away more of what was not real.   Most of the people that say “I am already enlightened, I cannot go any deeper, there is nowhere to go” are stuck in their concept about enlightenment, stuck in their roles as being a teacher, as being enlightened.  I know I was.

In my experience, there is always more purification.  Someone once sent me a list of definitions about enlightenment.  There was one from a zen master that stated enlightenment is when there is a permanant connection to God.  And in that connection there is forever a constant purification, a constant flow of the divine destroying any sense of individual existance so all that remains is God. 

The moment you think you know something, figured it out, discovered the truth, have something to agree or disagree, know you are stuck in the mind. 

So many opinions and judgments, arguments.  All of them distracting you from this moment, distracting you from what deeksha can do, and that is remove the false and reveal the truth of what you are. 

Amma and Bhagavan are you.  You are Amma and Bhagavan.  You judge them because you judge yourself.  It is all one.  The sooner you give up the idea that opinion matters, the sooner you will find joy.

This might be too soon for this kind of write up but what the heck.

Everyone, including myself always talk about bliss and peace.  Because that is what everyone wants, yes?  But the bliss and peace that meditation offers, although far better than what you imagine, is still, not what you imagine it to be.

The ego wants pleasure, an egostical experience of peace and bliss, like how you feel on drugs or during sex or when everyone is cheering your name.

But such pleasure is still limiting, because it arises temporarily from the perspective of the individual, selfish perspective.  The ego perspective is not bad, but it is a suffering.  The very perspective of ego/separation is a suffering.

So in meditation, through whatever practice you do, you move beyond your mental turmoil, you move beyond your emotional turmoil, you move beyond your physical turmoil, and then what is left?  Love peace and bliss, right?

 WRONG!

 Sorry about that, what is left is pain, often felt in the solar plexus. The core feeling of separation.  A feeling of despair.  It is in surrendering to this pain, in allowing yourself to experience it that you transcend this individual selfish perspective. 

It is in humility, in having all of your preconceived ideas about how you are and what you know taken to pieces that you find peace.

Then, there is true peace.  Because there is nothing left to fear or hold on to.

But the good news is there is tons of peace and bliss the whole way through.  But it comes and goes.  And if you try and hold on to it, then you suffer, you get stuck and can’t move beyond yourself. 

You must allow yourself to experience whatever is arising, without blame, without trying to change it, resist it, judge it, define it, analyze it.  It is just to surrender to whatever is there.  Then grace takes care of it.  Consciousness itself does the work.

The true of experience of peace and bliss and love is unconditional.  It is there for no reason.  And it is there in the absence of who you think you are.  It is there in the absence of this individual ego perspective.

 There must be perserverance.  To continuously allow yourself to experience what is here and in this the giving up indvidual control.

And there must be grace, some sort of enlightened energetic like you will experience from the Calling CDs http://www.bliss-music.com/thecalling.htm or Ocean Euphoric www.bliss-music.com/oceaneuphoric.htm  and/or to sit with a fully enlightened teacher on a regular basis, one where you feel their presence.

The good news is, the moment you are present in this moment, the moment you allow yourself to fully be here, you are instantly at peace.  It is that easy.  Then you really experience life instead of avoiding it.

 I wish everyone much peace and bliss,

Blessings,
