Your Real Self must activate its latent powers and cremate the ego in order to know the truth of Liberation. We are called to serve now as angels in our bodies of divine light. We must disidentify from matter. This will bring the flood of supreme grace.
By Donna | As Shunyamurti recently stated, the undesirableness of the location of the ashram is what makes it so desirable—as all values have been inverted at the end of time—and this desire, or soul yearning, I found was to be fulfilled in each moment during my stay, as I participated in the Shakti Saturation month at the Sat Yoga Ashram...
When you find yourself in hand-to-hand combat with Evil that you realize has possessed a part of your consciousness, humility and surrender to God are essential to receive the power to gain victory. Never underestimate the ability of your own dark side to deceive you by projecting evil on others. Do not allow the ego to succeed in impersonating your Real Self. You have given the ego its power, and you are free to take it back.
Consciousness has fallen into two correlative sets of delusions. The first is the delusion of false identity and its sequelae. This triggers the second set of delusions, those that create a false limitation of our intelligence, power, freedom, creativity, and time. We have a responsibility to overcome these false beliefs. Our primary tools in that project are faith, love, reason, and steadfast determination to realize the ultimate Truth.

Our next retreat is on The Mystery of Evil—and its Overcoming. We will get to the core of the power that supports evil and learn how to pull the plug, so that evil can be finally defeated. But our own consciousness must first be divinized, meaning fully empowered by the Almighty Will of God. If we had not already become disempowered, evil could never have sprouted in the first place. Thus, it is our responsibility to complete this sacred task. It is also our salvation.
Merge the attention with the Infinite Self—and all the forgotten secrets of the soul will be revealed. The atrophied powers of the higher mind are still latent and waiting to be activated. Drop dependence on external technology, which is oppressive, and relearn the mastery of thought—and gain the grace of freedom.
By Judy D. | I arrived at the Ashram on a Tuesday afternoon and was greeted by Amrita and taken to my Bhavan to unpack.
Consciousness must go through the gateway of language without getting caught on the barbed wire of beliefs or paralyzed by paradox. To reach the Supreme Real, our attention must abandon its identifications with name and form and its attachments to the imaginary and the symbolic. To attain nonduality, the ego and its inherent fear of aloneness must be shed. To reach the Infinite, all concepts produced by the finite mind in its longing for certainty must also be dropped. Only in total Emptiness and surrender will the grace of God be granted.
Accept the character your body is playing, but do not be deceived that the ego mind is you or even represents you. Realize the awareness that abides deeper within than thought, and this will lead to freedom.

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.
