"What is the cause of pain and what is the path to freedom from its physical manifestation?" a student asks. In his response, Shunyamurti explains that whatever dis-ease symptoms are appearing in the body or the mind are symbols of repressed heart-knowledge. Two questions can re-start the flow of Truth. Only Truth felt with deep love can set us free.
Every morning before dawn, for thousands of years, Sat Yogis have been gathering together by the Holy River of Divine Love to make a sacrificial offering of the ego in order to serve all souls as towering beacons of spiritual power. Let us purify our attitudes and intentions so we can fulfill our mission now, in the world’s darkest hour.
A few words from a little-known Sufi poet-sage of the tenth century can pry open your heart with an explosive charge of Truth that you cannot resist. Shaikh Abu-Saeed Abil-Kheir, better known by the title of his book: Nobody Son of Nobody, ably translated by Vraje Abramian, will bring a different kind of tear to flow from your eyes. Hear these poems and weep.
To see through the ego’s delusions, one must adopt a scientific approach to the highest yoga. One’s intellect must be able to integrate quantum physics with the perspectives of semiotics, complexity theory, chaos theory, psychoanalysis, and archetypal psychology. One must recognize how these disciplines are fully congruent with classical metaphysics and the philosophy of religion. One must avoid the trap of taking religious imagery and dogma literally, rather than as metaphor, and be able to discern the underlying referent within religious mythology. Only with an accurate orientation toward to the Real Source of our consciousness can we hope to realize God.
The soul that is determined to escape from the ego’s control must develop a number of virtues and powers in order to gain the freedom to ascend to God-consciousness. To live as a true spiritual warrior, one must use whatever is left of one’s drive to know the Truth, and be willing to open one’s heart and offer the soul’s love to the Almighty One. There is good reason to call this the Hero’s Journey!
To cope with the cataclysmic events that are about to erupt in the world, we must be living in Truth. The ego is based on a false premise and is filled with delusional projections. If we do not become free of its paranoid attitude and closed heart, we will not be able to connect with the God-Self. Use wisely the time that remains.
The solution to the riddle of impossible humility is offered with humor and compassion for the human condition. The same riddle is posed in a slightly different way by every wisdom tradition, yet always pointing to the same paradox. You can't make effort to be effortless. One can never attain humility, since claiming it refutes the claim. There must be some way out of this, but it requires abandoning all hope
This retreat is intended to prepare all seekers for what is coming! In this invitation to participate in our upcoming Chaos to Coherence seminar, Shunyamurti expresses the importance of reaching a state of total spiritual coherence--total God-consciousness and total awareness of the Real that transcends the illusion of time, so consciousness can rise beyond the incoming tide of destruction to a level of truth that transmit a vibrational frequency that is a beacon of peace and love amidst the chaos in this dream of the world illusion.
Reality is revealed from the perspective of a liberated sage, who perceives only the luminous, blissful, eternal Self. By giving our hearts to our beloved Supreme Self now, we can be lifted out of range of any effects of the cataclysmic events about to occur in the phenomenal world. It is useful to know the relative truth about the perilous state of the world and how close we are to thermonuclear Armageddon. But the only reason to know that is to motivate the consciousness to ascend to the Transcendent Real.
How do we change the destiny of humanity? In this classic teaching, Shunyamurti reminds us that the essence of the cosmos is consciousness not matter, and that we must stop running away from this Truth and realize the nondual Reality: we are the One Self, but we have been conditioned to believe otherwise. To get out of this trap, we must un-educate ourselves from the patterns of thoughts and implanted conditionings and recognize the freedom that Truth brings while the portal to change is open.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
