Spiritual Teachings With Shunyamurti

The Buddha’s Inconvenient Truth - Shunyamurti Teaching

Shunyamurti addresses the triad of desire, satisfaction and remorse, and how to live without suffering. In this teaching, Shunyamurti reads from and interprets the Ashtavakra Gita.

Dare to Master the Unreal World - Shunyamurti Teaching

Shunyamurti poses the fundamental question of ancient Sat Yogis: Is the world real? He invites us to investigate the synchronicities and magical aspects of reality, and phenomena such as past lives and near-death experiences, to discover the infinite potentials of consciousness that have been inadequately understood by modern science, and can only be understood by those who dare to go beyond the matrix of misunderstanding. 

The Unified Field is the Buddha Mind - Shunyamurti Teaching

In this early morning teaching, Shunyamurti sums up the human problem today, at the end of this cosmic process, as the loss of the capacity to cooperate. However, this rupture in coherence will eventually bring us back to the "rapture of unity." Shunyamurti sheds further light on this by reading from the Zen Teachings of Huang Po, who reminds us that the Buddha Mind is not particular, and by learning to comprehend one's own Mind, the particularity will dissolve into totality, and all will return to the liberated ocean of consciousness.  

The Psychoanalysis of Myth and the Myth of Psychoanalysis - Shunyamurti Teaching

Shunyamurti sheds light on the spiritual journey from the perspectives of Hindu mythology and Lacanian psychoanalysis, metaphorically weaving them into an understanding of the three registers of consciousness (the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real) that ultimately must be recognized as an infinite pillar of light.

Abide in Infinite Intensity - Shunyamurti Teaching

Shunyamurti reads from Hongzhi’s “Cultivating the Empty Field”, noting that most of these teachings are not understood by the postmodern ego because of its fragmentation and anxiety, but if one can gain distance from thinking, and maintain a cool, dry mind, we can move from sensory intensity to supersensory intensity and recover our infinite imagination.

Withdraw from the Unreal into the Real - Shunyamurti Teaching

On the opening night of the Meditation Weekend, Shunyamurti defines Sat Yoga as union with the Real, the Supreme Intelligence that is Sat Chit Ananda. He uses the terms imaginary, symbolic and real to further clarify that this path, through meditation, will lead one to discover what is real and unreal, if one is willing to use the wisdom (gyana) gained to withdraw from the unreal and return to the Real.

The Perfect Way to Cope With Information Overload - YT clip

In this seminar teaching, Shunyamurti offers an imaginative illustration - the one-way mirror stage  - to create an example that all egos identify with: You’re in a room as a bodily self, full of BS, and you’re constantly being bombarded by all kinds of programmed messaging - inter-personal, cultural, intra-mental. But in the room, there is a one-way mirror, and the Real Self is on the other side, unattainable and still, the key to understanding the enigma of who you are. 

Full Empowerment Requires This Sacrifice - Shunyamurti Teaching

In this teaching, Shunyamurti explains that one must sacrifice the inner child - to release the childish ego that refuses to grow up as a result of one’s karma and one’s willingness to remain a victim - in order to gain the capacities of adulthood necessary to become a community of fearless beings based in divine love that can overcome death and transform the world.

Sanity is Sovereignty Over the Matrix of Mind

How does one reach a higher level of sanity in this world system? In this teaching, Shunymaurti asks one to determine if one is in Self-rule or ego-rule, because if one wants to be in a state of sanity, one must relinquish the system run by egos and run to God. Since all egos are insane, ego-death is the only sane option, Self-realization the only sane state, so don't let the ego rule your life!
