In this classic teaching, Shunyamurti expands on the meaning of Yin and Yang to include both yogic and psychoanalytic understandings of the structure of phenomenal reality, which only exists as a dualistic mentality that always includes a sense of lack that can never be filled—except through union with the Absolute Self which transcends both yin and yang. Recorded on Tuesday, September 8, 2009.
On January 30, 2020, a student seeker asked Shunyamurti a spiritual perspective on the global situation: “There is much talk of enforcing Covid vaccination by letting businesses refuse service or entry to those who are not vaccinated. Both are nightmare scenarios to me, and I believe inhumane. What can we do?”
How do we navigate this critical moment in time, when freedom is being challenged and intelligence is being tested? Shunyamurti offers a perspective on how to transcend the mandates of the phenomenal plane and transform consciousness—from its devout identification with the body—to the unified consciousness that brings true freedom and intelligence to the masses.
Shunyamurti outlines the fall of legitimate authority and the rise of a nihilistic mentality that has taken over the world with the false doctrine of materialism; in order to be free of the bondage of illegitimate authority, we must remember that we are active participants in this great creation, and we must create a new world order based on higher consciousness and, love, truth and freedom.
Shunyamurti shares from Nisargadatta's last book of teachings, "Consciousness and the Absolute''. A self-realized being sees the world and all that arises as unreal; one must find out what is real by proving the unreality of the ego, by detaching from the ego's role and letting go into Liberation--this is especially important at the end of Kali Yuga, where the opportunity to be free to be the Self or to be reborn into a body-mind being is of supreme importance.
“Is realization lonely? Is bliss boring?” Shunyamurti shares that the ego fears loneliness, but that there’s no such thing as loneliness or boredom for the blissful One, because connection to the One brings you to the ultimate blissful source of happiness, and loneliness ends forever. This Q&A is from the retreat entitled, "From Hell to Shiva".
Shunyamurti reveals that the real knot to resolve is an ego that has been betrayed by a loveless world and must now take the risk of ego death to find the secret of spiritual power and enter the portal to freedom!
In this deeply reflective teaching, Shunyamurti reveals that the spiritual path is one of remorse and humility, which brings peace and purity--and the capacity to silence the mind.
What is the cure for this epidemic of oppression we now face as a collective? Shunyamurti speaks to the way out of suffering, the blessing of the bad karma that creates the urgency of awakening, and the shift in consciousness that is the key to freedom.
Shunyamurti draws a map of realization, bringing together the Jewish Day of Atonement, the attunement of the soul, and at-one-ment with the Self, as a step by step guide in the trajectory of Realization, reminding us that wisdom and devotion are the keys to Liberation.

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.
