A student asks: Does ego death mean relinquishing your personality, like a bee that is part of the hive mind of God, with the same mission and identity as every other soul? And if so, why did God make us individuals in the first place? Answer: No. This is a misunderstanding of Self-realization.
The ego keeps files on everyone and everything in its life. These files fill the mind. The ego must be de-filed so that the undefiled Self is revealed. In effortless presence redemption is achieved.
The ego and its maternal superego are delusions, but highly attractive ones nowadays. We have been not only dumbed-down by postmodern social engineering, but indoctrinated into remaining psychological infants who never grow up. With accurate knowledge, however, one can overcome one’s conditioning and reclaim the soul’s inherent power to be free of all illusions and transform every system that appears in the world dream.
The baggage of fear will fall away by the grace of God. This Theo-Drama is perfect, so there is no cause for fear. Surrender your heart to the Almighty and the moment of God’s lightning strike will come rapidly. But don’t mistake the ego’s illusory sense of self for the One Self who is Real.
By Bhavani | Art from the Soul is about a process of Transcendence, a way to express deep inner changes felt beyond words.
A lightning bolt of love from the Cloud of the Unknowable can transform one’s noxious psychic drives into divine Presence. Sublimation of ego tendencies results from sustaining the pillar of light that remains when one adores the Absolute Self.
Where there is the Supreme Light there can be no darkness. It is important to remember that the dark forces are unreal. Use viveka (discernment) and vairagya (dispassion) to abide in the unity of the Real—and remember: you are That!
Are we co-creating a doomsday scenario? The multiplicity of illusory egos cannot control the fate of the world, as that is ordained by the supreme authority. But if I adore the One Real Self who is the playwright of this classic five-act Theodrama known as the world, then I will resonate with that infinite intelligence and realize the perfection of this divine order. The illusion of destruction disappears and a rapturous return to the Source ensues and a new world comes to manifest.
The Diamond-Lightning Sutra strikes again! Buddha one-ups Heraclitus: you can’t swim in the same stream even once—because there is no stream! There’s no real water in a dream.
The state of the world today—and what to expect in the imminent future—is the topic covered in this discourse. The historical arc stretching from the assassination of JFK to the current candidacy of RFK, Jr., and from the Cold War to the present getting-hot war between NATO and the Russia-China alliance, the woes of the hegemon are detailed. The implications of what is unfolding are truly earth-shattering. We are urged to view this from the perspective of the highest Truth and level of our Being. There are incomparable blessings hidden in our darkest hour.

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.
