Shunyamurti shares that the real game of thrones is about higher consciousness; one must claim the divine right to sit on the lotus throne, the crown chakra that can only be reached through silence, which in turn offers the shakti power that annihilates all lower forms of identification and the supreme power to be liberated from the illusion.

During a recent retreat, an ashram student asks: If life is a school, how do I learn all that I can to get out of the ego? Shunyamurti replies that there is no way out of the ego—there is only the realization that you are not the ego, which shifts the whole paradigm into a more perfect reality that opens the soul to the total wisdom of the pure and total consciousness that you are.

In this last phase of Kali Yuga, it is essential for Sat Yogis to realize the Truth now. But the ego-mind obscures the truth of what we are with the projections and defenses that arise from a lifetime of suffering. We must first realize our suffering is phenomenal, so we can overcome our traumas and stop the mind that suffers--and then the True Self takes over and the Truth of Reality is realized.

Recorded on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2009. Shunyamurti reminds us that this is a time to give thanks to the community, to Nature, and to the Source from which all thanks springs. In these trying times, there are shortages of every kind (but especially love), that we must fill with the infinite abundance that is cultivated when we gather together in Truth, so we can manifest a harmonious world of gratitude and beatitude.

After a Sat Yoga community film screening of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (narrated by Leonard Cohen), Shunyamurti answers questions about choice and free will in the bardo, the in between state after the death of the body: is it the ego or the soul that chooses its post-mortem fate, and how can one navigate the way to the ultimate state in the afterlife?

Prepare to reach the deathless state! In this time of sudden death, it is of extreme importance to recognize the immortality of consciousness—before the body dies—so we can transcend the plane of mortality and be reborn as immortal, deathless Spirit. This is the secret of immortality that Shunyamurti reveals in this teaching, a precursor to our next 5-day retreat, Amrita Shakti: The Potent Path of Pure Delight. In this retreat, you will gain the capacity to free yourself from fear and ignorance, and enjoy the bliss of divine love and Liberation.

Shunyamurti presents the seriousness of the situation: Reality is a high stakes game, and if we want victory over the dark side, it's all or nothing! We must unravel our patterns of self-destruction, recognize the dead end of the ego, and surrender to the light, so we can awaken the wisdom and strength to overcome suffering--destiny is in the hands of the awakened. This teaching was recorded on the morning of March 28, 2017 at the Sat Yoga Ashram, Costa Rica.

As we come to the end times, and mass deaths are being accelerated by the death shot, we must face the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death. In this teaching, Shunyamurti shares about the spiritual rituals for facing death and its sequelae, so we can master the wheel of karma and fearlessly navigate the states that arise before and after planetary death. This class is an excerpt from a documentary film night screening of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (narrated by Leonard Cohen), given at the Sat Yoga Ashram, Costa Rica.

Shunyamurti offers a koan on consciousness and the logic of the transcendence of worlds; reading again from The Supreme Source, this class reminds us to let go of the mind, let go of all methods, to let go of the desire for Liberation, and ultimately to let go of the you who thinks there's anything to let go of--and just be in your natural state (before you had an ego).
