New Dawn, New Spring, New Consciousness
We celebrate this Holy Week by undergoing our own ego death and resurrection as Pure Spirit. We thus overcome the triple ignorance that has caused the downfall of civilization. The mystery of evil is solved through the revelation of the Mystery of the God-Self—and the making of that ultimate Truth our immediate reality. This raises and transforms the energies of the lower chakras into the divine level of chakra seven, opening the mind to the unified field of infinite consciousness. This is the fulfillment of life.

The New Gospel of Death
There are many ways to leave the body at death—or even while the body is still alive. But regardless of the destiny of the soul, once the realization arises of the Supreme Self as the Power that emanates all souls and pervades the infinite field of consciousness—the ultimate container and mover of the cosmos, including all that is still unknown by the human level of intelligence—the individual sense of being is absorbed into the Whole and is never again reborn into a delusion of separation.

Evening Satsang - 5.30 pm
Beyond Every Frame of Reference Abides the Inconceivable Self
The One Self is pure, free, absolute Consciousness—beyond all contexts, paradigms, and frames of reference. Language and thought cannot grasp the unknowable Power that abides as the Self of all beings and pervades the entire cosmos, ordaining all that unfolds in the holographic dream field. This Supreme Presence is intolerable to the ego mind—because nonduality is like an acid that will quickly break down and dissolve the ego complex and absorb it back into the Self. This is why vampires cannot stand the sight of a cross, and hide from the Light. The ego is a vampire feeding on the life blood and energy of the bodily vehicle and the soul within. To be successful, the spiritual process of liberation from ego requires perceiving and overcoming the snare of thought constructs and mental chatter.

When Your Christ-Self Rises, Tyranny Will End!
This is the Easter Sunday teaching. We have arrived at the historic moment when the Christ-Self must rise again in the hearts of many beings. Some may call it the Buddha Nature, others the power of Allah, still others the Dao that has no name. But as the planetary noetic field is filled with divine energy emanated by a thousand beings of Light, the world as we know it will disappear, and the kingdom of God will become visible to all.

The Blissful Lightness of Being
By using the power of imagination, we can overcome the limitations of ego mind and enter into altered states of perception, in which we can eliminate the ego complex and regain our original vision of nonduality, the splendor of divine luminous beauty, and the wisdom of the Godhead.

Midday Satsang - 11.15 am
The Love Affair of Truth and Beauty
To understand history—and the genealogy of good and evil—we must recognize it as the saga of the volatile love between Truth and Beauty. Now this cosmic theodrama is coming to its climax. It has morphed into a battle royal between logic and determinacy on one side and the freedom of Pure Spirit on the other. We could also call it the war between technology and the miraculous. Which side are you on?

Are We Approaching a Cosmic Eschaton?
This discourse maps out a speculative new model of history—integrating Vedic accounts with the credible evidence of ancient alien invaders—a story that encompasses more than one planetary civilization, and points to spectacular events that may be coming soon to this planet.
