In anticipation of our upcoming 7-day Transformational Meditation Retreat with Shunyamurti, Awakening in a Dying World, we share with you this powerful teaching on the seven stages of death and rebirth and how to achieve Self-realization in a morphing world.
"I didn't come here for a miracle. I came here for a blueprint, a roadmap to free myself up and that's exactly what I got." Richard, Haiti
Is the day holy, or do we bring holiness to the day? Today is marked out as that day in which to devote full attention to Shiva-consciousness, to never fall into the forgetfulness of who and what we are, why we are here, and what is our ultimate destination.
In this morning teaching from our ost recent Meditation Weekend, Shunyamurti explains that we have been living through a historic period in which the lowest level of the spectrum became dominant—the ego level of consciousness. In prior historic periods, the soul level was dominant, and before that the Spirit. But now, the ego itself is exhausted, and the ego can no longer manage its internal conflicts that are projected as external conflicts.

The central myth of Western culture was best expressed in the Middle Ages by Dante. His trilogy of the Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso, expresses very graphically, metaphorically, the three levels of consciousness—one could even say the three worlds, from a certain perspective—that the consciousness must traverse, in its journey through time and space, and its awareness of that which is beyond time and space.
Shunyamurti speaks about the seven phase shifts that occur during one's meditation practice and gives seven helpful tips for the spiritual journey.
In this video teaching, Shunyamurti opens with this question from Padamalai: Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi and explains the wealth of heavenly grace, versus the earthly riches that the ego seeks, and the creation of true wealth through Love.

I thought this morning it would be useful to bring down the register of the discourse a few notches, to understand from the level of ordinary reality. Not that that exists, but that is the common delusion of the delusionary ego—why it’s impossible to have any kind of revolution other than a spiritual revolution, and what exactly is the nature of the impasse that the world is in, that makes a spiritual revolution seem impossible. And, in fact, it is impossible—it is inevitable, but it is impossible. So, we need to confront that. So, without grasping, I think, the full parameters of the problem from the ego level, we cannot understand the path to the Real beyond the ego.

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.
