The Recipe for Rapture:
Why the World Must Now Be Sacrificed
Online Weekend Intensive Guided by Shunyamurti
February 9 - 11, 2024
The theme of the Great Sacrifice that is a prerequisite to the birth of a new world pervades the ancient Creation narratives. From the Vedic stories of the sacrifices of Purusha, Manu, and the ashwamedha horse and the castration of Prajapati; to the Egyptian myths of Osiris and Ra; to the Greek Orphic mysteries of Ouranos and the crucifixions of Dionysus and Christ; to the Norse myths of Odin and Ymir; to the Kabbalistic narratives of Tzimtzum and the shattered vessels of Adam Kadmon… the Great Sacrifice of cosmic death and rebirth has been embedded in our wisdom heritage in the cosmogonies at the foundation of culture.
All those stories pertain not only to our past, but also to the final destiny of this world age. We have now arrived at the long-prophesied moment when the cosmic sacrifice must again be executed. Since the cosmos is fractally designed, what is true at the macrocosmic level is also the case at the microcosmic level of every human being.
This rite of passage through the sacrifice of the ego is the ultimate test of human courage, purity of heart, wisdom, and love. The rewards include the attainment of divine rapture. In this experiential retreat, we shall together undergo the protocols for the implementation of the Great Sacrifice—and the realization of the transcendental effect.

This Online Retreat Offering Includes
A Life-Changing Journey into the Real
We are instantiations of the Infinite Self. In the beginning, the immeasurable intelligence spread out the cosmos upon the void of the quantum unified field. The creative force flung this world into the whirl of time. We were formed as fractal images of the Absolute, but reduced to the realm of relativity. We are in truth the Self. Now is the moment to recover our lost glory. In this gathering, we shall learn again to give ourselves the gift of grace.

Sacrifice: The Secret of World Renewal
The ancient scriptures from all lineages—elaborated most fully in the Vedas—reveal the role that is played by sacrifice in the political economy during the period of the Eschaton, both for individual redemption and for world destruction and renewal of Creation. The nature and accomplishment of the necessary sacrificial acts will be explained and possibly fulfilled in the upcoming retreat.
The Avadhuta Revolution
The Coming Victory of Divine Madness Over Artificial Intelligence
We have all heard this prediction by the globalists: “You will own nothing and you will be happy.” Most people take this as a threat of total enslavement and impoverishment. Indeed, it may be meant that way. But if we understand the subtle paradoxical logic of the Mind of God (the real power underlying this world simulation), this is actually the ultimate blessing. It is a description of the state of the Avadhuta, one who has attained supreme freedom and total bliss.
The Avadhuta indeed owns nothing—because of having chosen to own no ego. The Avadhuta is thus impervious to mundane conditions. The authentic Avadhuta has neither needs nor wants. This is the spiritual status of a liberated yogi, a level of Being that also confers inconceivable siddhis, yogic powers of mind over matter of an extreme supernormal level.
With the coming rise of a new generation of Avadhutas, thanks to the external pressures of life today that have intensified the search for Truth, a revolution of consciousness is now occurring, one that will bring about a new world order, not of perverse and tyrannical transhumanists, but of majestic divine beings. The combined power of the God-realized yogis all around the planet will manifest a very different kind of Singularity than the one imagined by the digital
demons. This holographic universe will soon be absorbed into supernal light. A new cosmos will then be dreamed into Being by the Transcendental Self. The victorious Avadhutas will then return as Avatars.
You are invited to discover how to fulfill the ancient human yearning for infinite intelligence and power, not through being microchipped and subsumed in the computer cloud, but by joining this expansive noetic movement of transcendence of ego and entering into the glorious light of Absolute Spirit. Let us not only celebrate the coming of the Avadhutas: Be among the first to join the ranks of the truly free!
In this retreat, we will focus on the rigorous practice necessary to shed the ego and attain the Supreme Realization in the shortest time possible. The Avadhuta state is not different from the highest Buddhahood or Christ-consciousness, or al-insan al-kamil, for those who are more familiar with those terms. But our path will employ the ancient, original Yoga of Dakshinamurti as elaborated by Dattatreya.
Join us online for this non-ordinary, karma-ending event. Wherever
your body may be, your soul can be centered in the unmanifest Self.
This is the moment to break free of the matrix and gain the infinite
wealth of ultimate reality!

About Shunyamurti
Shunyamurti’s own search for a way to live in this world without self-betrayal and in constant process of growth and individuation, transcendence of the ego, and attunement to the Source of creative intelligence and love, has led to the unfoldment of this non-ordinary social-psycho-spiritual project.
He is always learning, changing, deepening his understanding and empathy, and humbly correcting his course, guided by his connection to the One Supreme Being, Whom he serves. He joyfully lives the paradox of changeless nonduality manifesting as multiplicity in ceaseless becoming, surfing the quantum waves while abiding as the stillness of the Unified Field.

“
I have so enjoyed immersing myself in the blissful ocean of these teachings and meditations. I feel as if I’m being carried on waves of light and love into the New Year – what a gift! My deepest gratitude to Shunyamurti for his exquisite transmissions and for making this such a special portal into the higher frequencies we so need for ourselves and the world.

“
It is still ongoing as I am reliving the Daily Satsangs and Meditations in my own home schedule. I feel a lot closer to his teaching and meditations after this retreat, and I was very impressed by the earnestness and dedication of you guys in the Sangha.
~River, New Zealand
“
During this retreat, I learned more about myself and my level of commitment to Self-work, and also, the main thing I got out of this retreat was that I have a tendency to fall asleep, and Shunyamurti noted how to fix that —amazing — to experience that he was talking to me directly! I feel this retreat is not over and want to listen to it again.

Testimonials
“
Many thanks to the Ashram and Shunya for facilitating this retreat. It was a wonderful and magical experience with deep knowledge and wisdom to keep going on the hero’s path. Shunya’s way of teaching–as always–is so open and well built up with lots of history and humor. I love that! What I like the most is that it truly helps in the process of realization.
~Laurens, The Netherlands
“
I was able to identify and navigate the implications of certain spiritual experiences that I have had in the past. It was surprising, and utterly invaluable. There were moments of pure cognition. It was very helpful and I really enjoy seeing other spiritual communities working so beautifully together and committed to the upliftment and unfolding of human consciousness. Very grateful.
~Lisa, Australia/India
“
This retreat was amazing. At the end of the first satsang I thought, wow, that was a whole retreat right in the first session. And it was just the beginning. It just got better. So many great teachings, wonderful meditations, and I feel very loved and supported. I am listening to the recordings every day and absorbing more knowledge. It had a big impact on me: Bliss is our natural state regardless of the circumstances!
