Question: How does one honor the goddess? Lees meer
Excerpt: "The goddess is known as Shakti. Shiva and Shakti are the two twin principles of Cosmic Reality. Shiva transcends the cosmos and the power of Shakti creates and evolves the cosmos and is present as the intelligence of nature, the beauty of nature, the pristine infinite preciousness of the natural world and all of its potencies and all of the intricate intelligences that work together in every ecosystem. And to honor the Goddess is to honor and sustain and be a steward of that system of nature which she has provided and which she pervades."

The Ego's Failure to Love
18 februari 2019 · 36 min
Shunyamurti begins by saying that God gifts all treasures to those who yearn, then explains that many people begin to conceive of God as the third person (He/She), working through to the second person (Thou) when the relationship has deepened, finally realizing God in the first person (I Am/the Self), he then speaks about how God can only be known via the heart, through love, but egos are as agnostic about love as they are about God because of past experiences and traumas, but that love is the only answer and alone will bring us peace/stability, saying that love is the portal to the Absolute, that when there is love there is no need for techniques, and that the heart must be purified.

From the Little Prince to the Big Lebowski: A Modern Myth
2 februari 2019 · 15 min
Having screened The Big Lebowski the previous evening, Shunyamurti analyzes the famous line, “The Dude Abides”, and contextualizes the place of the Dude on the spectrum of consciousness, noting that the puer aeternus (the psychological position of staying an immature "eternal child" and refusing to grow up or take responsibility), embodied in past cultural icons such as The Little Prince, has become the Big Lebowski, and encourages us to abide as the Supreme Dude, rather than the Dude portrayed in the Cohen brothers' movie.

How to Cut the Knot of Suffering - 10.22.18
11 december 2018 · 42 min
Shunyamurti begins by asking the difference between a spiritual seeker and a spiritual finder, saying that the seeker has a human sized ego and the finder has a cosmic ego, and he goes on to elucidate the concept of Nothing, then goes into a metaphor of a car on a journey (ego = tires, soul = GPS, Atman = Driver), and says that the ego is terrified that Liberation from the matrix will be the end of jouissance, then speaking about the difference between individual mind and Mind (as infinite consciousness without thoughts—that Thinks!), and concluding on the role of art, as well as the pop songs that get stuck in our (small) mind.

How to Heal a Broken Heart - 06.26.18
17 november 2018 · 23 min
Shunyamurti reveals that the sign of an old soul is having a broken heart. There is an anguish that one wishes to heal, but the heartbreak is a terminal wound, and the ego won't accept what is present—the loving embrace of God. The ego must be killed, and the presence of God is the only thing that will fill the heart, but the ego has cut off love because of the wounding, and in surrender and silence the divine heart can begin to speak.

The Blessing of Hopelessness - 06.04.18
10 november 2018 · 10 min
Shunyamurti explains that the ego's main problem is dis-regulation, which creates hopelessness, which is actually a great blessing because it makes one look for the Self. He goes on to discuss the ego's way of discharging its energy rather than accumulating it into power in order to reach the Self. Lees meer
May you realize the blessing of hopelessness.

Introducing Quantumplation: Do You Quantumplate Reality? - 06.29.18
20 oktober 2018 · 57 min
Excerpt: “Contemplation of the one Self has been the core activity of monks and of Sufi mystics and Taoists and Buddhists and Hindus and alchemists and kabbalists—all the esoteric traditions of the perennial philosophy for thousands of years. And we are continuing that, but we want to update the terminology because an extraordinary emergence within the field of science within the last 100 or so years, which is referred to as ‘quantum physics’, has completely changed the nature of human understanding…” Lees meer

Why do I keep missing connections with people?
Why are lasting love relationships so difficult to establish?
Are higher values becoming extinct?
Why is there no little compassion and respect for truth?
Why are so many people so fragile, brittle, angry, and scattered?
Why are governments, corporations, and people all acting so irrationally?

Is there a purpose?
Is time speeding up? Or is time an illusion? Or both?
What is it all leading to?
Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
How can I accelerate my own inner development to be able to master the challenges ahead?In this spectacular satsang teaching recorded at the Sat Yoga Ashram, Costa Rica, Shunyamurti addresses these questions and so much more.

He’s No JP Sears: Shunyamurti’s Last Stand Up - 08.25.18
9 oktober 2018 · 23 min
Excerpt: "You see, I obviously couldn’t make it as a comedian. . . . And what I ended up doing was going into silence. Because you can’t really go wrong if you don’t try to tell a joke. And I could see why it’s very depressing to be a comedian, because nine out of ten of your jokes are going to fail, nobody’s going to laugh at them, and this will feed on your depression to the point where you’ll say, 'OK, I’m inadequate in my ability to make people laugh.' So, when I recognized that that whole reason for people to become comedians was the feeling of inadequacy, then I realized, 'OK, this goes to the very core of the issue with the human ego.'"

Excerpt: "The Sat Yogi is consciousness determined to discover the truth about the riddle of existence, the truth about the nature of being, of awareness, of the world process of which consciousness is aware, the truth behind all identifications, the truth of the Self. To discover the truth, the yogi must not presuppose that the truth is already known, must not accept some prefabricated version of truth, but must discover this for oneself."

Excerpt: "The victory of God means the defeat of the ego; the defeat of all egocentric narratives. God does not become victorious through some effort; God is always-already victorious. But that victory is only recognized when the ego’s helplessness, and the futility of establishing the reality of any ego, is recognized. It is at the fall of the ego that the victory of God is realized." Recorded on the morning of Wednesday, May 5, 2015.

Excerpt: "... But to return to our wildness we must know who we are, we must reach that level of Truth that is not identified with an I-thought, with a body form, with a limited mortal life span because our wildness is eternal and has nothing to do with the domesticated life of the ego, has no interest in such a substitute for real existence." Recorded on the morning of Monday, March 28, 2016.

Excerpt: “The form of social organization known as the ‘ashram’ is ubiquitous in culture in both the modern and the ancient periods in every culture as a manifestation of a school for the science of the transformation of consciousness, and a research laboratory for the practical experimentation with the theoretical principles of such transformation—and the dissemination of that information to the larger culture, and to create a basis for intercultural exchange. In the ancient world, one of the most famous ashrams was that led by Pythagoras…” Recorded on the morning of Sunday, March 8, 2015.

Excerpt: “Meditation’s purpose is to enable you to sit on the Lotus Throne, the Sri Nalinasana. The Buddhists speak of it very clearly, and yet, indistinctly because they refer to ‘Aum Mani Padme Hum’, the ‘Diamond in the Lotus’. But where is the lotus? What is the location of the Lotus Throne? How do you get there?” Recorded during the August 2017 silent retreat on the morning of Sunday, August 13, 2017.

Excerpt: "And so it will be very difficult for you to think your way out of the trap of the ego – and this is why the opening of the heart is so important because it is only the feeling of love that will raise you out of the misery of the ego level of consciousness – and this is why it is so important to recognize that the nature of God begins with that realization of divine love. God is more than love, but God is love – and our own love for God is that level of resonance which invites in all of the power and Presence of that infinite Self that you are." Recorded during the Rainy Season Retreat on the evening of Saturday, October 28, 2017.

Excerpt: "One could use the metaphor of an infinite sheet of cookie dough. And there is a cookie cutter that has cut a certain amount of this dough and separated it out—that's the ego. Now, before it's baked it can be put back in, and once it is smoothed out as part of the sheet of cookie dough it loses its identity doesn't it? It's simply the entire infinite sheet of sweetness, but once it's been separated out into a tiny little cookie and baked, it can't be put back; that's ego life. And so because the ego is a cutout, and is a form that has been separated from its own essence and baked into hatred, fear, envy, despair, all of that produced simply by its removal from its Infinite Source, the ego cannot be healed because it is the very cutting off from its infinite essence that is the problem." Recorded on the morning of Wednesday, December 9, 2015.

Excerpt: "What does Santa Clause give? He gives you a present. Most people only have a past. Santa gives you a present - he gives you Divine Presence, that's what the gift is under the tree. And what is the tree, it's the Tree of Life, it has to be evergreen, right? When you have arrived at the Tree of Life and the star of Bethlehem, the star which is that ultimate point of Infinite Light that is the absolute image of Shiva and you are within that field of delight, of joy that is Christmas, the season of Christmas, and everyone comes to the tree and there are gifts for everyone because Santa was very generous, and it's all there, then everyone receives a present . . . . It is the Presence that is the real gift, and if you are willing to accept Santa's gift of eternal, ever-green Presence, then you are liberated." Recorded during a Silent Retreat, on the morning of Thursday, June 15, 2017.

Who Is the Knower of the Matrix? - 04.01.16

Excerpt: "Because all that is directly known by the knower is consciousness itself. And consciousness places a grid over the known, objectifies it, calls it a world, calls it external, divides the external and the internal, and creates an illusory identity to function within the realm of the known. Once that illusory identity is believed in, and the positor of all of these positings is forgotten about, the consciousness has trapped itself within an illusory matrix within which it will inevitably be traumatized, and it will create melodramas of persecution, of needing to be rescued, or being a rescuer, or a victim, or all three cycling around one another. And the only way out of this eternal melodrama of suffering is to recognize that the one that posited itself in any of these positions of rescuer, victim, or persecutor, is not within that matrix at all, and was never born into a world, nor separated from consciousness in its pure form—which in the mythic construct is known as God." Recorded on the morning of Friday, April 1, 2016.

Excerpt: "The game is such that the very thoughts that you have; every thought, every image, every memory, every impulse, is a move in the game - but did you make the move, or was that move made against you? Because it is undecidable who is responsible for your thoughts; is it your own consciousness? Is it some introjection of an other? Is it a demonic entity? Is it the family system internalized? Is it some Big Other that has brainwashed you? Is it some dream in the mind of God? Is it psychosis? It's indeterminable." Recorded on the morning of Wednesday, February 10, 2016.

“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance, eternal union with that Real that alone can guide us safely through the rapids of the white water and the black water […] that we can only get through if we are able to levitate above the surface of the raging stream of consciousness through our surrender to that Light that carries us above the flood to safety on the other shore of non-duality.” Recorded on the morning of Tuesday, March 28, 2017.

Excerpt: "The delight is the natural state, so before we acquired egos, all of us were always in a state of delight. That's the normal baseline of human consciousness. And then an ego program was imposed on us that took away our delight, and the ego is based on the loss of delight. Because we were trained that we had to get serious and we had to be worried about things and we had to be concerned with learning things and doing things that we didn't want to do, and our delight soon became something else, and there was a nostalgia for the lost delight. And so delight became a kind of an imaginary state that we wished we could be in. And all of culture is basically made up of ways of being in artificial substitutes of delight. We try to get delight from films, from comfort foods, from all kinds of artificial celebrations and sex, drugs, rock ‘n' roll, but none of them produce real delight, and we have lost our delight because we've lost our innocence." Recorded on the evening of Friday, July 7, 2017.

Excerpt: “Silence is both the way and the goal of meditation. The silence that is being referred to is the silence of wakeful consciousness aware of itself as it really is; not projecting out fantasies and affects and mental objects, not deluding oneself, not being filled with chatter, not being sleepy and spaced out, not being in either desire or fear. It is the state of silence in which there is no mental activity, in which all the mind’s modifications have been stopped, that the Real Self emerges, and the ego and all of its illusions and all of its suffering dissolve forever.” Recorded during the Silent Retreat, on the evening of Saturday, August 12, 2017.

Excerpt: “The only way that God could satisfy His gambling impulse was to create a universe that was Himself, but in which He would forget everything He knew as God, and that He would divide Himself into both male and female, which made the world a total gamble, as you know. And not only that, but He would put some aspects of Himself that were male into female bodies and some that were female into male bodies - which made the gable even more extreme. And so every relationship became a gamble, every event, every project - and because a gambler loves surprise, God had to build in absolute surprising, unsuspected consequences to every action that would take place so that the very intelligence of God would be stymied by these unknowable, unforeseen consequences of every action and that everyone would therefore always be in a state of suspense.” Recorded on the morning of Saturday, July 15, 2017.

Excerpt: “. . . Didier Anzieu, another French psychoanalyst who developed a theory of the ego, his most famous and relevant book in this context is called The Skin Ego, and I think the relevance of this is that the skin becomes the center of consciousness at a certain moment when the child is about to go through weening, but it has not yet made a full differentiation between itself and the mother - there is still the ‘I and the mother are one’ - but the skin surface becomes the place of the conflict, and the place where that conflict, in terms of the old Freudian Oedipus complex, still has its last remaining threads of relevance which is that the father or . . . the paternal function that helps to separate the child from the mother, and this is the place where skin ailments happen, acne and other things; they are the skin ego’s complaint against its forcible separation from the mother.” Recorded on the evening of Saturday, July 15, 2017.

Excerpt: Consciousness is magic in itself. To adopt the egocentric frame of reference means you have sacrificed your magic, your magic powers lie in that consciousness which is beyond the scope of the ego. And so you can live a humdrum life that’s very reasonable and probably deal with most of the forms of agony and suffering and barely muddle through and endure within that egoic frame of reference - but why miss out on the magic? On the miraculous? On the astonishing capacity of consciousness to transform the world?” Recorded during the Healing With Truth retreat, on the morning of Thursday, April 13, 2017.

Excerpt: “Can you feel the energy of life flowing through your organism? Do you allow the energy of life to fully flow through every cell of the organism? Are you conscious of what the energy of life feels like? Are you in direct contact with the power of life that keeps your body alive, healthy, and functioning at optimal capacity? Or do you block the flow? Do you limit it? Do you repress it? Do you have fear of too much life? Do you allow yourself to be bathed in the life energy? Do you know the source of the life energy? To know the life energy fully requires that you have attained a position in consciousness that contains the life energy, that your power of presence allows the full flow of infinite eternal life through Itself. But that which witnesses life is that which the ego fears as death. And so to be fully alive is to unify the power of life with the power of death - to realize they are one.” Recorded on Monday, May 29, 2017.

Excerpt: “And that’s why we meditate: it’s that act of the discovery of the inmost Self. But how to do it when there is so much resistance of the outer levels? The itchy body that’s uncomfortable sitting still; the mind that doesn’t want to stop thinking and remembering and planning and being somewhere else than [where] you are; the emotions that keep coming up, sadness, desire, despair. All of those internal chaotic arisings that keep one from simply being who one is.” Recorded on the morning of Sunday, January 17, 2016.

Excerpt: “This evening begins the great holiday of Ramadan for all the Muslims in the world. The holiday celebrates the culmination of the practice of yoga by the great yogi, Muhammad, who sat in a cave in a state of deep samadhi, and reached such a level of God-consciousness that a vision of an angel came to him and gave him the wisdom that he downloaded that became the Koran” Recorded on the morning of Saturday, May 27, 2017.

Excerpt: “And so the key to the Sat Yogi’s success is the cultivation of the wisdom of the heart that recognizes the value of this transcendent peace and love and silence and stillness and Eternal Presence over the flux of jouissance and suffering and angst and paranoia and attachment and greed that have produced all of the unhappiness that cannot be rectified by continuing to maintain that same pattern. And eventually the wisdom of the heart overcomes the ego’s desire to get more because more turns out to be less. And in that recognition that the value of love is much greater than the value of things, and that the value of that Ultimate Source of love is greater even than the value of the love between those who are still within the I-thought, that ultimate love and ultimate intelligence and ultimate power is accepted in exchange for the letting go of all the rest.” Recorded on the morning of Wednesday, September 21, 2016.

Excerpt: “To be or not to be – that is the struggle, not just the question. And the struggle is between appearance and being. And the struggle is difficult because the ego mind is a very primitive instrument that thinks in terms of images, and that which does not appear as an image does not seem to be. And until the discernment between what is an image and what is real has been established by the mind, there can be no consistency of Self-realization because the Self is not an image, the Self does not appear, and therefore to the ego mind, the Self does not exist.” Recorded on the morning of Wednesday, April 26, 2017.

The Core Difference Between Eastern & Western Religions – 03.25.17
22 april 2017 · 26 min
Excerpt: “And it is this capacity for sudden Illumination and Liberation that creates a difference in the nature of the Eastern and Western paths. It is this Illumination that is the awakening to the Real and the decision to abide as the Real, and not fall back into the illusion that ensues simply and spontaneously from the silencing of the ego for long enough to disentangle one’s consciousness from any desire to remain in ignorance.” Recorded on the morning of Saturday, March 25, 2017.

The Significance of Easter - 03.25.17
8 april 2017 · 28 min
Excerpt: ”You will find equivalent archetypal figures who have gone through almost the exact same kind of life as Jesus - whether it’s Horus in the Isis and Osiris story, or it’s Adonis or Bacchus, or any of the spiritual heroes prior to Christianity. And it’s also because the Jewish and Christian traditions arose out of an earlier goddess tradition: it was Asherah, and before her it was Astaroth, and before other goddesses back to Ishtar. And Ishtar is the most filled out and elaborated mythology about the rise and the fall of the goddess, the Divine Feminine, who is the carrier of the Sacred Heart that became the Heart of Jesus."
