In this spectacular retreat, Shunyamurti shatters all convention and offers inspiring and empowering teachings that take off from the timeless wisdom of Sri Ramana Maharshi.
Shunyamurti asks how does one win this simulation/video game that we find ourselves in and the foe of desire that we must overcome in order to win.
Shunyamurti speaks about the fall of the Hero's Journey—to the Anti-Hero’s Journey—and what we must do to undergo Hero’s Journey now.
Shunyamurti reveals that root of all suffering in the ego comes down to loneliness, that all of our problems come from an inability to face our loneliness, and that growing up means facing our loneliness. The only solution to loneliness is only-ness, only the Real—the Self, God—will take us through the black hole of loneliness to the light of the Real Self.
By Marjiva Ma | First, the backstory: The sangha was recently reintroduced by Shunyamurti to the life-work of Aurobindo and that of his disciple Satprem. The following morning, I awoke refreshed, with the thought of Sat Yoga’s Premaculture project, having recalled Aurobindo’s vision for Auroville.
Shunyamurti guides us through the Diamond Mind of Desire, taking us through the lower egoic emotions of anger, sadness, gladness, and fear, to the Aware Luminous Love that will give birth to a global network of luminous, liberated buddhas.
In this opening night teaching (from the retreat, “Overcoming Death”), Shunyamurti delves deeply into the true meaning behind overcoming the illusion of death, and how the realization of immortality—because what is never born can never die—will help bring the living truth to a dying world, the price of which is ego death, the remains of which is the Real.
Shunyamurti reads again from Swami Ramdas, a section entitled "Immortality is the Birthright of Mankind", commenting that all Kali Yuga religions focus on the attainment of immortality, that we have to give up what's false in the folk inflections of religion, that we must become egoless manifestations of virtue, that forms of limited love must be sacrificed for unlimited love, that we must be willfully ignorant as Truth is what we are, and that we must surrender to Source to be reborn.
Once the ego took hold in human beings, and they fell from, not only Atman consciousness but even from soul consciousness ...
In this satsang Q&A, Shunymurti invites you to our next 5-day retreat, 19 - 23 September, Overcoming Death. Shunyamurti explains that this retreat will be about overcoming not only the fear of death, but the illusion that there is such a thing as death.
