Wisdom Teachings - Sat Yoga, Costa Rica

Celebrating Maha Shiva Ratri: The Holy Night of Shiva   In this teaching, Shunyamurti explains that Maha Shiva Ratri is a portal to activate our supreme potential.    "Are you able to be in tune with the vibrational waves which bring not only peace, but bliss, power, love, fulfillment, and liberation from all illusion? Maha Shiva Ratri is the day in which we are to do the fine-tuning to that supreme frequency."

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.

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.

Excerpt: "And as more and more lights are lit in this cosmic menorah, in which each of us is an eternal candle, flaming its beauty and its divine light to the world, we create a light that cannot be extinguished, and that cannot be improved, and whose silent shining is the eternal living symbol of the presence of God, who never withdraws."

Shunyamurti begins by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, explaining the connection between Christmas and the Amanita Muscaria mushroom that was used to help the uninitiated reach higher altered states of consciousness, which made holy days, then goes on to explain the spectrum/levels of consciousness, and speak on many other topics, such as death and rebirth, the fall of religions, and the universality of Christianity for all religions.

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.

Shunyamurti begins by speaking about the ego's main fear of being overwhelmed, discussing how this manifests at each of the lower chakras, he then goes on to discuss the formula: God = Knowledge, and that knowledge = information & intelligence, and how we get information from each of the three Reals, finally discussing the ego's defense against this by either pseudo-love or pseudo-hate, and the relationship among egos at this level.

Shunyamurti opens the teaching by saying that Abhyas (Practice) invites Anugraha (Grace), he then goes on to discuss the sin of labeling, the implications for oneself and for others, and how this creates the illusion of an ego, an other, and a world, and how we live in a world without labels.

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.

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. May you realize the blessing of hopelessness.

Excerpt: In the recent modern period of history in the West, atheism and materialism gained hegemony, as the paradigm of reality that intelligent people would adopt. And as a result, nihilism and narcissism became the dominant modes of egoic behavior and structure. Are you ready for more advanced teachings from Shunyamurti?

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…” Are you ready for more advanced teachings from Shunyamurti?

Have you been asking yourself such questions as these: 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? Why all the earthquakes and other massive geological shifts? Is all of this part of a larger pattern? 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. Are you ready for more advanced teachings from Shunyamurti?

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.'"

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."

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.
