Salvation can only be our own receipt of forgiveness from the Merciful Lord Who abides within the Heart as the Self. Once forgiven for the sin of egocentricity and separation from the Self, one is freed from the delusions of duality. Perception becomes cleansed of its defilements and the perfection of the divine beauty of the Real is recognized with awe and wonder. Consciousness gladly surrenders to be absorbed into the Blissful Light.

The Sufi sages were famously drunk on the nectar of love, love for all that is. The sages of all traditions likewise speak of the bliss of freedom from attachments, from identifications, from the sense of existing as a someone. The attainment of overwhelming and endless ecstasy is as easy as letting go of all mental narratives.

Consciousness is constantly morphing, causing the world to appear as a metastable process of mutation, leading to an entropic disjunction of desires and drives, reflected as a world on the edge of chaos. Consciousness and its world both undergo the passage into annihilation. But then, as the chaos converts into pure potentiality, it morphs into a new and perfect order. Thus, the world dies and is reborn. Worldhood itself is without beginning or end. Time is not other than eternity.

A number of different questions are asked by seekers of Truth, but all are answered by the realization of the Self as the perfection of every moment of experience.

The symbolic meaning of Christmas is a message of universal urgency and personal significance to every conscious being. It is a prefigured celebration of your awakening to your divine nature and the rebirth of the character you play in the matrix as an avatar, a Buddha, a manifestation of God, begotten as the Only Self, by the blissful union of Shakti and Shiva. Blessings for living in the glory of Theosis.

Phenomenal reality unfolds as a fractal recapitulation of the turning points of the simulation as a whole. The omega point at the end of a time cycle is reiterated in the moment between night and morning. It is the Kairos moment of betweenness—which opens to Brahman, the Infinite, but only for that Awakened Awareness abiding between samsara and nirvana, uniting Shakti and Shiva, the manifest with the Unmanifest Self.

Because we have abandoned our love for the Mother Goddess and the Father God, and their internal integration as pure mutuality of divine adoration, the life energy has gone out of our archetypal forms and fallen into the morbid and demonic realm of the hungry ghosts and zombie egos, which clash in the darkness of a desert world on the brink of self-annihilation. Only a return to the fullness of the Zero will emanate the salvific power of the Source of our Being.

The Tantric Buddhist sages created a new concept of the goal of spiritual practice. The aim was no longer Nirvana, conceived as a mere cessation of consciousness and life. Such a boring mode of escape from suffering held no appeal for the experience-hungry ego mind. The new climax of inner development announced by the teachers of this radical line of spiritual orientation would now be the attainment of Maha Sukha, the Great Bliss. This would be achieved not through renunciation and asceticism, but through extreme intensification and sublimation. This paradigm shift also revealed that there is one more stage that lies beyond even endless bliss—and that supreme attainment is now the immediate event horizon for consciousness. In our upcoming retreat, we will cross the bridge of bliss into the inconceivable realm of the Absolute Real.

No one is in bondage. Only the choice to believe the ego narratives diverts the attention from the Supreme Presence within—and equally without. This is a universal truth. The illumined sages of every spiritual lineage have passed this on as their legacy. That is why it is often called the Perennial Philosophy. But theoretical knowledge is not enough: The habit of forgetfulness of Self must be abandoned.
