Spiritual Teachings With Shunyamurti

Student Question:  Sometimes I have archetypal dreams where a person will tell me about something I have to do and even though when I wake up I can remember what it is, I have no idea how to do it.  I feel like this happens to me a lot.  During the day I worry because I am not sure how I can do what was told to me in the dreams.  Because of this I get stressed and feel guilty about not doing what my unconscious is telling me to do and it feels like I am ignoring it and that somehow it is going to affect me in some way.  I am not sure if this is correct because they never tell me in the dream but it is frustrating me to think that it is going to affect my karma.

Excerpt:  “So if God made you an offer, that all you would have to do to help save the world, would be to silence your mind and immerse yourself in the divine presence within consistently, completely, once and for all, and that that would be the greatest gift you give to the universe and to yourself, would you do it?  Because that is the offer that God has been making for thousands of years…  it is what every spiritual tradition teaches….  Surrendering to God means surrendering the attention, the thoughts, the mind, to the presence that is already within you, at the core of your own consciousness, which is a very sweet blissful silence…  and that energy that can radiate through the channel of your own mind’s focus will fill the world with peace and divine love and that energy is so powerful, that if the flow of it is continuous, it will change the course of history; it is that strong.  We just need a critical mass of beings who are dedicated to that supreme holy work, and a Sat Yuga is born…  a kingdom of heaven is born on earth…  and yet no one seems to volunteer to do the work and it’s so simple because really it means stop working, stop struggling, stop striving, stop desiring, stop fearing, and just live in peace and acceptance in freedom from suffering and in empowerment and in love….”  Recorded on the evening of Thursday, March 01, 2012.

Student Question:  Where are the archetypes while the ego is operating?  Are they within consciousness?

Student Question:  What happens with all those people who become ghosts?  They are beings that are among us but no longer in a body although they still resemble the body that they were in from that past life.  So is this a case of someone being too attached to his/her physical body and not being able to let go?

Student Question:  I was wondering what your opinion is about travel?  I know that travel can be a very rewarding experience and not just another way to spend time, but what do you think?

Student Question:  We were talking about the breast as a symbol, and I was wondering if that relates back down to food as well?

Student Question:  During our discussion on masters discourse tonight someone bought up the point that as the head of his family he has children who expect to be told what to do and to be given guidance.  How does someone who finds himself in that role avoid getting into master’s discourse?
