Spiritual Teachings With Shunyamurti

The ego mind mistakes mental representations for the Real. The ego also excels at forgetting its resolutions and losing its clarity at key moments in which a decisive shift in the attitude could produce a change in the altitude of consciousness and give it a higher degree of freedom and power. The mental muscle is insufficient for the job. Only absorption of the sense of I into the infinite field of presence will avail.

Once humans collectively bought into the scientistic paradigm of mere physicalism, it was inevitable that all would be influenced as well by the nihilistic creed that God is dead. However, that news was exaggerated. All that died was the soul’s connection to the light and wisdom of the Supreme Self. Now, it is urgent to shift from deicide to egocide, to attune to the vibrational frequency of Pure Presence, and to become free of all delusions.

The human ego, in its postmodern end-of-kali-yuga form, is obsessed with its bodily form and its self-definition. It desperately needs to create a defined personality with fixed views and prejudice against other paradigms of reality, since otherwise it cannot hold on to the feeling that it exists. The ego’s lack of existence thus is repressed and over that black hole is projected the image of a self-fashioned fictional entity that believes it is real. The entity likewise constructs an unreal world on which it projects its many dissociated fragments with their desires, plus its shadow drives, foreclosed wisdom, and objects of both desire and fear. To awaken from this self-created hell realm, the consciousness must release its clinging to conceptualizations, including that of the imagined ego.

The power to overcome the entropic fragmenting and psychopathic decomposition of the ego complex that may be the operating system determining your subjective experience is not in your control. Therefore, the intervention of grace by an act of the higher intelligence to whom I owe my existence is necessary. But I must activate that power of gracious redemption from my hell realm. And that will require a genuine surrender.

You are in nonduality right now, but your mental activity obscures the Real. To return to your original and eternal Buddha Nature and God-Self, you must only become fully present—by stopping the thought stream and staying as pure awareness. Then, you will begin to understand the whole river of time and all the lives of high adventure in divinized consciousness of your once and future Self.

Good and evil are the children of a divorced couple. Once Truth and Beauty were in blissful marital union, but the relationship turned sour. Truth left Her for Power. She became ugly. He lived a lie. Their kids are now fighting. Our world is the consequence. Neither Truth nor Beauty is happy. The good news is that they are now working with a couples counselor.

We are to learn from every event—so there is no such thing as a mistake. But yogis especially must learn constantly from the Inner Source, as well as from karma, dreams, physical symptoms, synchronicities, books and digital media—we must learn to stay accurately in line with the Dao, with the will of God, with the call of the Heart. At this moment, negative events are happening for everyone nearly all the time. Dark forces are dominant (even in our own egos), but even the shadow powers are feeling the effects of the law of karma. They, too, exist to motivate us to return to God-consciousness. We must graciously accept our karma with detachment and faith, and keep aligned with divine love and forgiveness. All is perfect.

It may be a useful exercise to entertain a few wild speculations about what could happen during the imminent solar eclipse. There is enough circumstantial evidence that strange plots are afoot to justify a warning to the wise: be prepared for anything. And since we are now in an unprecedented historic moment, on the brink of the end of the age, Pandora’s box has been opened, and all the demons have been unleashed. It is urgent to attune to the Supreme Presence, and the attainment of Liberation.

There are many levels to the I. Life gives us the opportunity to know the Absolute Self, the Self of uncanny wisdom and joyous rapport with the will of God, the Self of luminous clarity regarding the events on the phenomenal plane, and the Self of pure sense, of innocent existence in a living world. All these are integrated into the Whole as uncreated nonduality.
