Meditation: The Path of Enlightenment

So, why are you here on this page?

Really, the only reason that you can be here is that you want more peace, bliss and love in your life.

It doesn't matter what religion or non-religion you practice, I am not here to give you more beliefs. I am here to help those that are interested to deepen their own experience of unconditional peace and joy.

From my experience, your natural experience is already unconditional peace, bliss and love. But because of your identification with your mind, you cannot experience it. You have separated yourself from it.

If you look in this moment, you will see that thoughts continuously arise, and with each thought, you identify with it. You grab hold of it and say "this is me, this is me."

The thought arises "I'd rather be eating doughnuts" and automatically, you assume you are the "I" in that sentence. So with every thought you have, you grab hold of it and make it you.

From this thought identification, stress is born. Because from this perspective, you are separate from the world and you are constantly trying to survive in this separateness. It is you against the world. There is you, doughnuts and everything between you and that doughnut!

But from the perspective of awareness beyond the mind, you see you are not separate. You are connected to everything. You are a part of everything. And so what was once fear & desire is now unconditional love, peace and joy.

If you look at what is here beyond the thinking, you will find that there is a feeling that you exist in this present moment. And you are aware that you exist. In fact, existance at this level and awareness are the same thing, you cannot separate the two.

And the very nature of this awareness is unconditional peace, bliss and love. Unconditional meaning it is not there for a reason. You do not feel blissful because you just had sex or you just bought a new car but because bliss simply is. It is your natural experience beyond the identification with your mind and ego.

One of the easiest ways to experience this is through meditation. And there are two things you need to be succesful in your meditation:

The first is simple teachings that point you in the right direction. And there is plenty on this page to get you going.

The second is "Enlightened Energetic." Call it "Grace," "Shaktipat" "Spiritual Energy," etc. If you were lucky enough to sit with someone who is fully enlightened, you would find that their blissful presence naturally rubs off on you, making it easy for you to experience deep states of blissful meditation. Their blissful presence is what I am calling Enlightened Energetic.

The problem is, this entire humanity as a whole does not vibrate at a level of peace. In fact, it vibrates as a whole in a high level of stress.

So if you try and meditate on your own without enlightened energetic, the total vibration of everything around you will keep forcing you back into a level of stress and identification with your mind.

You need the enlightened energetic to completely transform your own body, mind and environment so that you can get to your natural state of peace. Then meditation is easy. It is no longer a struggle.

I have found a way to give you this "enlightened presence" in a neat, western method, and that is on audio CD.

CDs like Ocean Euphoric , Shakti Silence and The Calling give you this enlightened energetic, making it hundreds of times easier to experience states of unconditional peace in meditation. The more you listen, the more you naturally live in a state of peace, radiating this peace to everyone around you. You can read more about this in the article below.

So whether you are seeking enlightenment, to deepen your meditation or you just want some more happiness, peace or relaxation in your life, I not only provide you with the means, I guarantee the CDs will deepen your experience of peace.

These CDs are not to be confused with "binaural beats" and "brainwave entrainment." The natural sound technology on these CDs are completely unique and as our customers will testify, far more effective.

Just daily listening to the CDs alone will deepen your peace. But adding to it, simple meditation practice that I can teach you in a few minutes, the possibilities of experiencing incredible peace and truth are limitless.

If You Want to Live in a State of Peace

If you want to live in a state of peace or attain enlightenment, it is necessary that you understand energy.

Einstein already proved that we all are made up of the same energy.

You as a mind and body vibrate at a certain set of frequencies. There are thousands of factors that have caused your set of vibrations including your upbringing, the vibrations of your parents, the food you eat, the environment in which you live, the people you spend time with, the music that you listen to, etc. These vibrations are not set in stone, they are constantly changing to a certain degree according to what is influencing you at the moment.

Simply put, if your parents were angry people, part of your experience will be that anger. If your parents laughed a lot, chances are, you will laugh a lot.

If you eat healthy and take care of your body, there will be a feeling of health and wellbeing. And people will be attracted to you because you radiate a certain degree of health and wellbeing. If you eat unhealthy food, you will feel sick and your body will become sick. And you will attract sick people! All of this is quite obvious.

If you spend time with depressed people, some of that depression will rub off on you, if you spend time with succesful people, chances are, some of their success will rub off on you.

The deeper you go in meditation, the clearer this becomes. You no longer experience all of these separate people everywhere, but rather everyone's energetic vibrations mixing with everyone elses. You can actually feel it.

Have you ever been to a crowded mall and after a few hours felt completely drained? That is because all of the stress from everyone around you has literally passed through your vibration field and you soak it up.

But when you come home and relax a while, you tune again to the environment around you and your energy comes back to normal.

So if you want enlightenment or inner peace, your energy field has to vibrate to the set of frequencies that are unconditional love, peace and bliss.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the human population vibrate at a high level of stress. According to Dr. David Hawkin's research in Power Vs. Force 85% of the population calibrate at a high level of stress and aggression. Less than 1/2 percent ever calibrate to a state of unconditional love.

This means that whenever you do something to create peace in yourself, you are affecting the entire world in a positive way. But unfortunately, your new found peace is also in conflict with all of the stress around you.

So if you are meditating on your own, chances are your spiritual growth will be very slow and arduous. Because there is little you against 6 billion people who radiate an unhealthy amount of stress!

That is why there are ashrams. Places where fully enlightened teachers live with their students. Because one other thing Dr. David Hawkins research shows in Power Vs. Force is that even though enlightened teachers - people who live in an unconditional state of peace represent the tiniest of tiny percent of the population, the power of their vibration of peace is so strong, it helps balance out the rest of the population.

That means if you are their disciple, living in close proximity of the teacher, their "enlightened" vibration is working on you 24 hours a day. In fact, most famous teachers today lived in close proximity to their teacher for some time, including Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Muktananda, Adi Da, Gangaji, Gurumayi, Sri Chinmoy, etc.

This is all well and good for cultures that thrive on ashrams, but our western culture places importance on family and independence. We want to live our own lives in our own way. Plus there is so much fear of cults and fake gurus that it really is not the way for the majority of the western world to find unconditional peace and enlightenment.

That is why I created CDs like Ocean Euphoric and The Calling. These CDs radiate the same enlightened presence that the enlightened teachers do. So that any time you listen to them, the same enlightened vibrations are working on you. It makes meditation and attaining states of peace so much easier. Plus you can listen to them when you work, when you sit in an airport, while you are walking, while you are waiting in line. You listen to the CDs as much as it is comfortable.

I am very sensitive to other's energy. So going to do my weekly errands is challenging. In the beginning of the trip, I am very blissful, my presence is very strong. But the longer I am around all of the people, the noise and the pollution, the more my energy get's drained. Most often, I come home with an intense headache which only remedy is lots of meditation.

But recently I began listening to my CDs during my errands. No more headaches, no more experiencing other people's stressful vibrations. Going to town has become quite blissful throughout the entire time.

And at the same time, I help bring peace to everyone I come in contact with. Not because of something I do. But simply it makes my own peaceful energy field that much stronger, that much more powerful. It will be the same for you when you listen to the CDs.

I always listen to the CDs on airplanes, airports, trains. If I go on a long trip, the first thing I do is sit silently with the CDs for few minutes and it is like all of the toxic energy I have taken on in travelling just melts away leaving my natural state of blissful peace.

There is no shortage of teachings in the west. Buy many of them get interrepretted by the mind and translated into something else.

There is the strong westernized Advaita movement, which has helped many, but also has created the illusion that an enlightened teacher is not important, that meditation is not important, that enlightenment is just some change in belief or understanding.

In spiritual awakening, there is a complete shift at an energetic level, that transcends the mind all together. It is the level of awareness, which is neither the mind or body. For this to happen, there is the purification of your energy channels in your body. And enlightened presence is needed for this to happen.

This is nothing new, in fact, it is one of the oldest teachings on spritiual growth, dating all the way back to the Upanishads. Living a decent life, eating healthy, meditating, taking care of your body and being in the proximity of enlightened presence. Very simple and very effective.

Imagine what it would be like if a large percentage of the population listened to these CDs daily. Imagine the changes that could happen if everyone could experience even a little bit of unconditional peace and love every day.

The Only Spiritual Experience That Matters

Although the other experiences written about maybe inspiring, they are simply stories in memory. If you live for your memories, then you are dead to life. You do not notice what is here in this moment.

From your identification with your thinking, it is thinking that is important. But if you investigate what thought really is, you see it is intangible, it is only noise.

The only spiritual experience that matters is this very moment. Right here, right now.

Close your eyes: What is this experience you have of being alive in this moment?

Not to describe it, define it or judge it, but to experience it, without mental commentary. To experience the sensation of existing in this moment. To be aware of what is here and now, what is arising here and now.

Because if you are here, then everything is fine. Everything is perfect. Right now is your doorway to the truth, to freedom, to bliss, to unconditional love. To experience this very moment.

Not to look for anything but to experience it as it is.

Right now you are consciousness. There is awareness.

Some future idea of a great spiritual experience or memory of something that happened is not real. It only exists in "mine," in memory. You cannot touch it, you cannot live it. It is a movie that you store in memory and as beautiful or frightening or funny it may be, it is still a movie.

But in this moment, you are the totality of existance. This moment is what is real.

Not who you think you are but beyond your concepts, beyond your thinking and emotions that come and go, what is here? Who are you in this moment? What is this experience?

It doesn't matter what it is, it matters that you allow it, that you are aware of it. In this you are alive.

It is the allowing and awareness that is important.

This is the only spiritual experience that matters.

Being Or Becoming

"The ego is all about
avoiding pain
and seeking pleasure.

And from this view point
you are at war with the world.

You are fighting
to be free of pain
and to have an endless
supply of pleasure.

This is the suffering.

In the extreme,
it is the absence of love
and the birth of violence.

There is nothing wrong with
experiencing hurt.

Surrendering to the hurt that is here
is how you move beyond the suffering.

It is in experiencing
yourself as you are
with all of it's
pains and pleasures
that you become alive
in the moment.

That you begin
to love without reason,
to be blissful without cause.

Not in becoming
or attaining,
or trying to fulfill
the bottomless pit
of 'I want,'
but by allowing yourself
to be as you are.

To experience what is arising
by itself in this moment.

To be aware of what is arising
by itself in this moment.

Because when you are still,
you see it is all arising
by itself.

That is the beauty of it.
It is all consciousness.

The idea that you are alone
against this enormous world
is untrue.

It is all consciousness
and you are of that consciousness
nurtured and complete.

You just have to be willing
to give up your endless effort
to become something
and simply be.

Blessings,

Kip"

Power To Choose

"There is no victim.

It is not that a smoker
can't stop smoking,
it is that they do not want to
put the effort involved
in stopping smoking.

They are not willing to experience
the withdrawal
and the feelings they were avoiding
by smoking in the first place.

In every desire
there is the pleasure you get
from fulfilling that desire
and the avoidance
of certain feelings
you keep resisting
by fulfilling that desire.

Say you want a cookie.

You imagine the pleasure you get
from eating that cookie
and instantly there is this feeling
of wanting that cookie.

That feeling of wanting
you do not want to experience.

You may eat the cookie
to avoid the feeling of wanting
even more than the pleasure
you get from eating the cookie.

That is a huge revelation in itself.
As most things you want
are less about enjoyment
and more about avoiding
experiencing something.

That is the difference
between enjoyment
and habit.
And that is how the mind
controls you.

It is the same with being present.

It is not that you can't be a witness
to your thoughts,
it is that it requires more focus
than you are willing to give.

You believe that the pleasure
you get from being involved in your thoughts
and more so,
the emptiness you avoid experiencing
by being involved with your thoughts
is a better pay off than being a witness.

I am not here to tell you
what you should do.

I am not saying awareness
is what everyone wants
nor that surrendering
to that experience of emptiness is
an easy task.

But it is up to you.

You have the ability
to be free from your mind
in this moment.

And that freedom
is more satisfying
than anything you could
ever imagine.

That freedom
fulfills you.

You live as complete-ness
in unconditional peace.

Just by being a witness
to your thoughts,
everything will come to you.

But it is up to you
in every moment.

It is not about climbing
the mountain,
it is whether you
put your foot
in front of the other.

It is whether you
choose to be present
in this moment.

Blessings,

Kip"

Love is Transformation

"The ego exists
out of the fundamental belief
that this moment
is not the way it should be,
and that you are not the way
you should be.

And so
as an individual identity,
you are constantly trying
to change this moment,
improve this moment,
wishing and fantasizing
about a future change
or acquisition.

At the very core
of your individual identity
there is the feeling
that you are not as
you are supposed to be.

That somewhere
there was a glitch
in the system of creation
and now you are living that mistake.

At some level,
this is necessary
so that you evolve
and seek to improve life.

But at another level,
it is the birthplace
of hatred,
it is the negation of life itself.

For if you do not accept yourself,
you cannot accept others
and there will be constant conflict
in your world.

Meditation is the process
of stopping this conflict
through being aware
of how your are in this moment,
instead of trying to change it.

By simply being
a witness to your experience
in the moment
in full acceptance,
you transcend
the ego-individual identification,
and every cell of your being
vibrates at it's natural state
of unconditional peace and love.

It is this love that transforms,
not the ego "doer."

Blessings,

Kip"

Awareness Does Everything

"From the perspective
of the ego,
you believe that
you are the intelligent one,
and that awareness is unintelligent

and therefore you have
to get yourself enlightened.
You have to get yourself
into a peaceful state.

But the truth is,
awareness itself
is the intelligence
and transforms
everything into enlightenment.

Awareness itself
is the state of peace.

But in thinking
you are the controller,
and must do everything,
you constantly resist
the process of enlightenment.
That is the unintelligent part.

It is self importance,
the urge to control everything
that always gets in the way
and separates yourself
from your natural state
of peace and love.

All you ever have to do
is be present.
Be aware of what is here
in this moment.

The awareness itself
takes care of everything else.

In truth, there is no separate self,
it is all consciousness.
All arises out of consciousness.

That is the greatest realization.
That is the greatest freedom.

Blessings,

Kip"

The Doorway To Bliss

If you look honestly,

the reason
you meditate
or do any spiritual practice
is to experience bliss.

Call it love, call it peace
call it fulfillment or oneness,
you are looking to be blissful.

Because if it didn't feel good,
why search for it?

Why would you look for truth
call it God, Nonduality or Buddha Nature
if it felt nasty?

You wouldn't!
You want to be blissful!
This desire lies at the very core of your being.

And there is incredible bliss to experience,
incredible love and peace and fulfillment.

Not an egotistical bliss
but a bliss without ego,
where individual identification has dissolved,
a bliss that is of all and everything
without a second.

The riddle is
that if you sit down
with the expectation of bliss,
you will probably find yourself
in a state of frustration and stress.

Because the doorway
to bliss
is to experience whatever
is here
regardless of what
that experience is.

To close your eyes
and experience
as sensation
what is here in this moment.

Whether it is delight or pain,
sadness or joy,
if you surrender to this experience
which is present
and let it consume you,
this is the doorway to bliss,
this is the doorway to your true nature.

Blessings,

Kip"

Unconditional Love: Beyond Ideas

"In my experience,
it is all about love.

Not an idea about love,
not possession,
not attraction,
but what lies
at the very source
of your nature.

Take away all ideas.
Take away all addictions.
Take away everything that can
be taken away.

When you have no choice
but to let go of all ideas
of who you are, what you know
and what you want,
something really beautiful happens.

The source of it all
is revealed,
call it consciousness,
but it's nature is love.
Freedom, joy & unconditional love.

If you really look,
you can see in every human being
how they avoid love
by clinging on to their ideas.

Ideas & jugments themselves
become more important than love.

The idea of life
and how you think it should be
and how you think you should be
is more important
than actually being alive
in the moment.

Everyone is
trying so hard
to be this idea
of who they think they should be,
that they never discover
who they really are,
who they are that is
not created
but self existing
in this moment.

Yet in any moment,
you have the opportunity
to be fully present,
without ideas,
without being involved with
any mental activity.

Judgments can be there
but you are not involved with them.
What is there is there,
it is unimportant.

What is important
is you are here,
you are present.

Then you see,
all is not some
cold advaita
Zen koan.

The koan
was only there to help
remove what you are not.

When what you are not
is gone,
it is all about
love and devotion.

Not devotion to something
or someone or some idea
but love and devotion
self exist
without reason or cause.

It is what is left when you
take away everything that can
be taken away,
(including that voice
which keeps saying 'I know this.')

This is my experience,
and this is what I wish for you.

Because if you experience this
just for a moment,
you will see how
pointless your ideas are.

That all this time you have been
holding on to garbage.
You have been dressing up
in garbage.

Then there are no more words.
There is no ego to protect
or be right.

There is only love.
And that is completely fulfilling.

Blessings,

Kip"

You Already Are Perfection:

"The greatest courage
one can show
in any moment
is to admit to oneself
the reality of their experience.

This is harder than it sounds
because the mind is in a constant
state of denial.

It is always trying to be
how it thinks it should be,
how it thinks others would like it to be.

It is this refusal to accept yourself,
the constant trying to change yourself
from what you are
or pretending to be
some spiritual ideal
that makes you feel unloved
and causes stress.

The way to freedom
is not in creating yourself
to be your idea of perfection
but rather to see how you truly are.

Be it jealousy, anger,
insecurity or fear,
it is through experiencing
yourself as you are
that you
experience
the infinite.

The two
are not separate.

You already
are a perfect
expression of Divinity.

All you need to do
is to observe
with honesty
what is happening
inwardly
in this moment.

Blessings,

Kip"

Advanced Meditation

"When you learn
to witness thoughts
and stop the action
of identifying with them,

there comes a point
where the individual 'you'
with a memory, personality and a body
temporarily disappears.

It feels freeing
but at the same time
quite strange.

Although there is this incredibly
blissful flow of energy,
there is nothing to hold onto
nothing to define yourself by,
there is just witnessing without form.

The tendency is to always
jump back into identification
with your thinking
where everything is familiar
and known.

Even if you are unhappy,
you are familiar with it,
it feels like home.

So it is a huge jump
to move into witness consciousness
and requires your complete focus,
to give every thought away as it arises.

But once you make the jump,
and you are without form,
let your focus rest
on the flow of energy,
let yourself rest in the bliss that is there.

This will help you remain
in this state for longer periods of time.

Even a few seconds in this state
is incredibly transforming.

It is not that you are
jumping out of yourself
and into something completely different,

but simply you are letting go
of the limited perception you are used to
and experiencing what is always there
behind it.

You can have all the drama of your life
back in an instant if you want it,

but you have to have the courage
to let go and venture beyond
what is comfortable and known
if you want to experience the bliss
that is your true nature.

Blessings,

Kip"
