Shunyamurti suggests a thought experiment: Assuming that what we call reality is actually a virtual reality, a video game, what are the implied potentialities of our perceived world? In this classic teaching, he explains the implications and pitfalls of this potential for living reality.
In this spectacular retreat, Shunyamurti shatters all convention and offers inspiring and empowering teachings that take off from the timeless wisdom of Sri Ramana Maharshi.
Shunyamurti asks how does one win this simulation/video game that we find ourselves in and the foe of desire that we must overcome in order to win.
Shunyamurti speaks about the fall of the Hero's Journey—to the Anti-Hero’s Journey—and what we must do to undergo Hero’s Journey now.
Shunyamurti reveals that root of all suffering in the ego comes down to loneliness, that all of our problems come from an inability to face our loneliness, and that growing up means facing our loneliness. The only solution to loneliness is only-ness, only the Real—the Self, God—will take us through the black hole of loneliness to the light of the Real Self.
By Marjiva Ma | First, the backstory: The sangha was recently reintroduced by Shunyamurti to the life-work of Aurobindo and that of his disciple Satprem. The following morning, I awoke refreshed, with the thought of Sat Yoga’s Premaculture project, having recalled Aurobindo’s vision for Auroville.
Shunyamurti guides us through the Diamond Mind of Desire, taking us through the lower egoic emotions of anger, sadness, gladness, and fear, to the Aware Luminous Love that will give birth to a global network of luminous, liberated buddhas.
In this opening night teaching (from the retreat, “Overcoming Death”), Shunyamurti delves deeply into the true meaning behind overcoming the illusion of death, and how the realization of immortality—because what is never born can never die—will help bring the living truth to a dying world, the price of which is ego death, the remains of which is the Real.
Shunyamurti reads again from Swami Ramdas, a section entitled "Immortality is the Birthright of Mankind", commenting that all Kali Yuga religions focus on the attainment of immortality, that we have to give up what's false in the folk inflections of religion, that we must become egoless manifestations of virtue, that forms of limited love must be sacrificed for unlimited love, that we must be willfully ignorant as Truth is what we are, and that we must surrender to Source to be reborn.
Once the ego took hold in human beings, and they fell from, not only Atman consciousness but even from soul consciousness ...

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.
