    Dear Shunyamurti,

    The insidious nature of the ego masquerading as the Self seems to be getting the best of me. Could you please give some suggestions on how to be courageously and whole-heartedly be the Spiritual Hero. Both conscious and unconscious fears of the ego makes it very challenging to be able to discren and leave it’s sliver of identity completely behind to embrace the unknown, fully. The one aspect of the split mind seems to hold on to the sanskaras with dear life. How can one shift seeing the process of shedding the ego from something scary to something joyous and jump off the cliff with absolute bravery and faith that the Shiva&Shakti will unite and catch us? Is Divine will our dharma that the Soul must follow? At times I feel like it is already written in the stars but I am trying so hard in striving (Becoming) to be Self – Realized when instead perhaps should relax and ease into (Being) silence more rather than trying to become something that is already my inherent Maha-Shuka nature already, naturally. Why does it seem to be such a difficult paradox to solve? Thank you so so much. Sincerely,

    Timur

    Feel a fresh breeze entering my Life, much like when I became a Sannyasin with Osho in the early 80’s.
    An auspicious beginning to the New Year.

    (Revised but the same question)

    Dear Shunyamurti,
    The insidious aspect of the ego masquerading as the Self seems to be getting the best of me. Could you please give some suggestions on how to be courageously whole-hearted to be the Spiritual Hero?
    There seems to be both conscious and unconscious fears of the ego to embrace the unknown fully and be able to to discern what’s best for my Spiritual growth. The split mind is holding onto the sanskaras with dear life and at times I feel like a puppet on a string. How can one drop the fear of shedding the ego as something scary and see it as something joyous by surrendering and jump off the cliff with absolute bravery (without second guessing or looking back) with the faith that the grace of Shiva&Shakti will unite and catch us?
    It feels like the ego is trying so hard to ‘become’ Self-Realized when our inherent nature is already always ‘being’ present in Maha-Shuka. Is Divine will our dharma and how can one be more mature at a Soul level. Thank you so so much! Namaste~

    Dear friends,
    Is it possible to listen again or indeed watch again the 5am meditation on Monday?
    Within that teaching is something I would like to reference again.
    Thank you,
    Namaste River

    I enjoyed this retreat, it brought a shift in my consciousness where I could simply say that there is nothing to attain but to attune because All ( liberation) is there.
    The sound and video recording are awesome and I am amazed by the generosity and the gigantic amount of work that Shunyamurti gives in a retreat in such an effortless way.

    Thank you very much!

    Namaste
    Francois

Brahmachari:

One whose consciousness has merged with Brahman, the Absolute, and thus has been liberated from all desire, fear, attachment, and material frames of reference. Thus, a Brahmachari naturally lives a life of celibacy, simplicity, and inner solitude.

Close

Satsang:

Meditative meetings in which the highest teachings are shared. Shunyamurti also offers guidance during questions and answers to resolve the most difficult and delicate matters of the heart.

Close

Teleological:

Information, energy, or nonlinear change that occurs as the effect of events that take place in the future and alter the past, which is perceived in the present as non-ordinary phenomena, synchronicities, unpredictable emergent properties or other notable explicate arisings. The source of such forces may also lie beyond chronological time, in higher dimensions of the Real.

Close

The process of non-process:

Since awakening is instantaneous, along with the recognition that one was never really in the dream, but enjoying the creation of the dream, it must be understood that making awakening into a process can only be part of the dream, and has nothing to do with Awakening itself.

Close

The Real:

When we speak of the Real, unless otherwise qualified, we mean the Supreme Real. The Supreme Real does not appear. Appearance is not Real. All that appears is empty of true existence. There are no real things. All that is phenomenal is temporary, dependent, and reducible to a wave function of consciousness. The world does not exist independent of consciousness. There is no matter or material world. All is made of consciousness. Pure consciousness is Presence. It is no-thing, non-objective, not in space or time. All that appears in Presence, or to Presence, is an emanation of Presence, but is not different from That. This is one meaning of nonduality.

The Real is also a term used in Lacanian psychoanalysis. What Lacan means by the Real is that aspect of phenomenal appearance which is overwhelming, traumatic, or impossible. We would call that Real One. It is a relative Real, not Absolute. We add that there is a Real Two, which consists of divine love. Love is not an appearance, but it changes appearance, through recognition of its Source, into a divine manifestation, a projection of God’s sublimely beautiful Mind as infinite fractal holographic cosmos. Real Three is the unchanging Absolute, beyond all conception or image.

Close

Dharma and dharma:

When we use the term Dharma (capitalized), we refer to our dedication to living in accord with the timeless principles of impeccable integrity that keep us in harmony with Nature and our Supernatural Source.

When we use the term without capitalization, we refer to our acceptance of the community’s processes, protocols, and chain of command with the “Haji! Spirit” of going the “extra mile” and working overtime when necessary to make the impossible inevitable, as our unconditional act of surrender to Love.
