From Particle to Wave – 06.28.12
Thursday Jun 28, 2012
Thursday Jun 28, 2012
Student Question: Sometimes when I meditate I start to feel a very blissful state, but after some time the opposite happens and it becomes almost unbearable and even painful. When this happens I usually stop but today I continued and as I did I thought of the word dematerialization. So I was wondering if that state is associated to “moving from the particle to the wave” that you were referring to and if it is at all related to transmutation as well, is there a connection? What is it that happens?

Contemplation Precipitates Presence – 12.06.28
Thursday Jun 28, 2012
Thursday Jun 28, 2012
Excerpt: “I was reading ‘The Little Russian Philokalia’ today… and this first volume is the teaching of Saint Seraphim of Sarov - a great Saint of Russia… and one of his core teachings is that the true aim of Christianity or of a “true Christian life” as he puts, is the acquisition of the Holy Spirit of God… I think that sums up authentic Christianity very well… and I think those who are true spiritual seekers in any path can agree that this is the aim, however different religions would alter the language very slightly and that slight alteration can have huge effects…. Now Saint Seraphim does go onto say the Holy Spirit of God is already within you – it is not somewhere else – you don’t have to buy it somewhere – you don’t have to acquire it in some external way… and so really they (religions) all will agree that it is simply a question of realizing your true nature and letting go of the false self… and in the Christian path Saint Seraphim and other Christian Saints and Mystics would say that you do that through contemplative prayer – you contemplate in your consciousness which is silenced, the presence of God – the meaning of God – the beauty of God – the power of God… and simply by doing that you enable the presence of God to emerge into your consciousness… the contemplation of God precipitates the presence of God.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, June 28, 2012.

Wednesday Jun 27, 2012
Wednesday Jun 27, 2012
Excerpt: “We have to perform our function well, with humility and purity; with absolute emptiness of ego – to live in the largest way, to live for God and as a manifestation of Godly power. Power of love and truth, not of ego; not of the desire to dominate or control – to surrender all of that and be in the purity and the flow of the divine nature.” Recorded in the afternoon of Wednesday, June 27, 2012.

The Gift of Life – 06.14.12
Thursday Jun 14, 2012
Thursday Jun 14, 2012
Excerpt: ”What we are all here to discover for ourselves – not through hearsay, not through the testimony even of great sages – is what is real. ‘Who am I really?’ ‘What am I?’ ‘What is this world?’ ‘Is there a God?’ ‘Is there a purpose?’ ‘Is there a meaning?’ ‘What do I want to achieve during this short time that I have between birth and death?’ These are questions that each of us must answer in our own hearts. And while it is useful to hear the wisdom of those who have gone very deeply into reality for themselves, and whose words may be inspiring for you, we must go beyond even the great mahavakyas of the great sages and enter into our own innermost heart.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, June 14, 2012.

Liberation Through Gyana or Bhakti – 06.07.12
Thursday Jun 07, 2012
Thursday Jun 07, 2012
Excerpt: “The obstacle is the ego. With all of its chaotic thoughts, negative thoughts, thoughts of lack, of anxiety, of anger, of lust, fear. The ego is a luxury we can no longer afford. It makes our lives unmanageable, as the twelve-step people would say. You can’t manage your life if your life is ruled by an ego because an ego is inherently chaotic, ambivalent . . . and filled with internal conflicts that get projected as external conflicts, paralysis of will, and self-deception of every sort. And all of this produces: suffering. Suffering is based on illusion because the ego is an illusion, and all of its thoughts are illusory. Once you realize you cannot trust those thoughts, you will accept only the thoughts that come from the Source, and they come as inspirations, intuitions, Aha-experiences, and wordless knowing of the true nature of reality – that leads to spontaneous egoless action.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, June 7, 2012.
