Broken into Enlightenment

"If you live consciously,
there is tremendous grace in hardship.
 
We like to imagine that
enlightenment is just another gift we get.
 
But for enlightenment to happen, you must be torn apart.
The idea of who you are, what you know to be real,
it all gets torn…

We Realize Peace & Oneness through Allowing our Own Human-ness

the force of oneness takes…

Discovering the Radiance of Being in Meditation

"One of the greatest things that can happen

to you on the spiritual journey

is you lose the will to keep going forward.



Because the mind is always going forward.

It is always seeking the next task,

the next accomplishment, the next attainment,

the next object of desire.



This is how we maintain our sense of self.

Like a carrot…

The Inner Bowing That is Meditation

“There is a certain attitude

that develops over time

for real meditation to happen.



Most of us start meditating

with a certain level of arrogance and egotism

that we may be completely unaware of.



We come from the perspective that we know things,

we can accomplish things

and…

How to Strengthen Your Awareness in Meditation

"As you start to grow in awareness in meditation,

it is like you have all of these rubber bands attached to thoughts.



You are present, and then you are pulled back into thoughts.

You move back into awareness,

and then you are pulled back into thoughts.



But every time you rest back into awareness,

those rubber bands start to burn…

This quote is from last week's satsang.

You can listen to it by playing this youtube video

Meditation Technique: Take Refuge in The Feeling of Peace

"The mind is very manipulative.

Other's people's mind's are very manipulative.

Both are constantly trying to suck you

into a reality that is only made of thoughts.



Beyond the thought, where is that reality

that people are so personally invested in?



But to just try and remain a witness

to the thinking process is very…

The Essential Spiritual Practice to Experience Deep Meditation

"In my experience,

the fundamental spiritual practice

is fully allowing this moment to be.



Not to control the thoughts,

but allow thinking to be.

Not to repress feelings/sensations

but allow all feelings/sensations to be.



Without obsessing over them,

owning them;

without dramatizing and without control.



It's a…

Fall in Love with Peace: The Key to Spiritual Awakening

"When you fall in love with this peace,

you're home free.



When you're not in love with this peace,

then no matter what you attain,

what you experience,

it will not fully satisfy you.



When you fall in love with something/someone,

when it is genuine,

and not just based on needy attachment,

then it doesn't matter

Realizing Silence

"There's a bushwalk near my house.



It's not very well kept;

it's quite rough and wild

and because of that hardly anyone walks it.



I can walk 5 or 10 minutes

down the path and

there are no sounds of people at all.



No cars, no noises from houses.

Just pure nature.



Although there is the rush of the wind,

The value of hunger when it comes to really serious/advanced training of oneself spiritually

I am able to handle a pretty strong hunger level.  I believe a set point exists for this hunger level, as well as all hunger levels as far as how low one’s weight and body fat will drop.  I lost another pound this week(5’10” 126 lbs), but should level off weight-wise soon I believe at this hunger level.  I do not either take any drugs or diet in a way that diminishes me from feeling hunger.  I am not addicted to any type foods that can increase my hunger/desire while tuning me out…
