Don’t Believe Your Ego’s Melodrama!

Summary: Each being is a fractal manifestation of the One Self. The world appears when the mind becomes incoherent and gets lost in a dream. But the Self confers the grace of Awakening when the accurate moment arrives.

    I came to the understanding that everything about me is constructed through me and what is left is the underlying presence with is filled with love and joy and spontaneity of being. Nevertheless to know that everything is imagination gives ,,you” the freedom to dream lucidly in a sense so that the illusion of negativity and weakness is shattered. Still I get the sense that the freedom and beauty of life is neglected in spirituality instead of celebrating this live and uplift each other trough our individual expression of our innate being. I’m still 25 so maybe there is this confusion or misunderstanding. Maybe you can shine light on my confusion.
    Bless you 🙏🏼

      Dear Robin,
      Shunyamurti has offered a reply to your question:

      I don’t know where you got the sense that “spirituality” neglects the freedom and beauty of life, because my experience is the opposite. The whole point of spiritual development is to maximize both freedom and the appreciation of beauty. Of course, in order to achieve such freedom, most spiritual paths also encourage the development of mature intelligence and the wisdom of the heart. No doubt, there are many people who turn toward spirituality as a result of suffering or because of ill health, and their goal transcends wanting to increase the enjoyment of the current biological lifespan. They may want to be free of chronic pain, for example, and thus they seek to abide now in the transcendent light of God. Some may be more focused on alchemical purification, redemption from sin, or graduation from the wheel of birth and death by annihilating the ego and attaining complete union with God. In some forms of nondual spirituality, liberation in nirvana is not different from living life in great bliss. The promise of God (or the Buddha or enlightened sages) in every tradition includes ecstasy, rapture, acceptance into the Kingdom of Heaven, or some variety of miraculous empowerment. Spirituality always comes in the form of good news, which is the meaning of the term ‘gospel.’ What could be better news than an eternity of freedom and beauty?

      Namaste.

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.

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.
