Ep 2021Suspend Your Rejection of the Real - Shunyamurti Teaching
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.
Ep 1986You Shall Find Only What You Want - Shunyamurti Teaching
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.
Ep 2014The Secret of the Activation of the Power of Grace ~ Shunyamurti Teaching
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.
Ep 2011How to Turn Samsara into Nirvana ~ Shunyamurti Questions and Answers
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.
Ep 2009Truth and Beauty: The Sad Saga of a Love Affair
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.
Ep 1988Make No Mistake: There Are No Mistakes! Shunyamurti Question & Answer
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.
Ep 1993Anything Could Happen During this Solar Eclipse! - Bonus Shunyamurti Teaching
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.
Ep 1982The Higher Levels of the Self
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.
Ep 1969Free Yourself from Delusions and Limitations
Consciousness has fallen into two correlative sets of delusions. The first is the delusion of false identity and its sequelae. This triggers the second set of delusions, those that create a false limitation of our intelligence, power, freedom, creativity, and time. We have a responsibility to overcome these false beliefs. Our primary tools in that project are faith, love, reason, and steadfast determination to realize the ultimate Truth.
Ep 1979The Causes and Effects of Desire ~ Shunyamurti Answers Your Questions
Do you have a question for Shunyamurti? Join Shunyamurti live for a 5-day online retreat this Easter. The Mystery of Evil—and Its Overcoming. Don't miss, sign up today: https://bit.ly/overcoming-evil The ego is concerned solely with the human level of relationality based on lack, need, rivalry, and resentment. This leads to the karma of abandonment, loneliness, and loss of sovereignty. If the ego is still sattvic and with noble traits, karma in Kali Yuga must involve betrayal, despair, and crucifixion. But this awakens the soul again to its divine nature and the illusion of having been forsaken is overcome. The release from the delusion of duality brings the bliss of eternal rest.
Ep 1975Free Yourself from Delusions and Limitations - Shunyamurti Nectar Hour Teaching
Consciousness has fallen into two correlative sets of delusions. The first is the delusion of false identity and its sequelae. This triggers the second set of delusions, those that create a false limitation of our intelligence, power, freedom, creativity, and time. We have a responsibility to overcome these false beliefs. Our primary tools in that project are faith, love, reason, and steadfast determination to realize the ultimate Truth.
Ep 1961The Rebirth of Divine Eros Will Transform the World - Shunyamurti Early Morning Teaching
Merge the attention with the Infinite Self—and all the forgotten secrets of the soul will be revealed. The atrophied powers of the higher mind are still latent and waiting to be activated. Drop dependence on external technology, which is oppressive, and relearn the mastery of thought—and gain the grace of freedom.
Ep 1955Why Reject or Limit Your Genius? Shunyamurti Teaching
On the spiritual journey, there comes a point of no return. Then, one must take the risk of leaving behind the ego mind, and entering the realm of the Divine Presence. The macrocosm is on this trajectory, as well as every microcosm.
Ep 1947Mimetic Rivalry is the Root of Evil - Shunyamurti Retreat Teaching
All the unforgettable teachings for this retreat are now available to own. The Recipe for Rapture: Why the World Must Now Be Sacrificed: https://bit.ly/recipe-rapture Description: This explanation of Rene Girard’s model of social functioning, based on the ego’s uncertainty about what it wants, brings new clarity to our personal difficulties and those in the realm of macropolitics. The discourse describes the chain of effects brought about by coveting the attributes or possessions of a chosen other. These cascade from envy to imitation, to rivalry, and to some level of symptomatic violence. We must become free of scapegoating and being victimized, as well as from all rescue fantasies. There is an easy way out.
Ep 1944How to Be Free of Outer and Inner Distractions - Shunyamurti Outer Limits Interview Clip
This is a clip taken from a recent conversation between Shunyamurti and Ryan McCormick, host of the Outer Limits of Inner Truth podcast. Watch the full interview: https://bit.ly/vigilante-shunyamurti The ego is addicted to its distractions. Because at the core, the ego lacks inherent essence, and thus has subconscious negative self-esteem, it is always running away from—and defending against feeling—its vulnerable and wounded heart. There are ways to overcome this once we recognize the reality of our suffering and its inner cause.
Ep 1938Overcoming the Indoctrination into Nihilism - Shunyamurti Retreat Teaching
As one goes ever deeper into one’s inner being, past the ego and its shadow, the paradigm of reality shifts repeatedly as the perception is purified and accurate discernment of the Real comes more into focus. The enigmas presented by the false beliefs we were taught and then, more deeply, by the pairs of opposites that keep the mind split and in internal conflict and confusion, are gradually overcome. The outer becomes recognized as the inner. The Other is reclaimed as the Self. Unity is perceived pervading the multiplicity. The ultimate mystery is at last revealed. Freedom is regained.
Ep 1934History is God’s Mystery Play—Which Ends with Revelation and Redemption: Shunyamurti Interview Clip
In this extraordinary conversation, the secrets of history and eschatology are revealed. The story of our collective loss of grace—and the fall of the world from a paradise to a hell realm—and our current struggle to repair the creation by transforming ourselves through sacrifice of the ego and returning to our divine essence, will end in victory for the forces of light over those of darkness and evil. But for now, we must enjoy the suspense of not knowing the outcome—until we have become saturated by the purifying Presence of the Supreme Self within and beyond. This is a clip taken from a recent conversation between Shunyamurti and Ryan McCormick host of the Outer Limits of Inner Truth podcast. Watch the full interview: https://bit.ly/vigilante-shunyamurti
Ep 1930Fear of Vulnerability Underpins Self-Alienation - Shunyamurti Early Morning Teaching
A realized yogi sheds his skin, but does not grow a new one. Since there is no outside and no inside to the Real, no skin boundary or defensive shield is either necessary or possible. The Self has no other, no enemy, and no limit. All fear drops away.
Ep 1932Ripening, Discernment, Angelic Service: The Path of Graduation
Essential insights into the discernment of an accurate path, guide, methodology of purification of the doors of perception, and subtle preparation for service in one’s body of light—crowned by final graduation from the wisdom school of life—are offered in this outstanding interchange of ideas and energies: A conversation that can bring about a sublime conversion.

Ep 1915Resonate With Total Presence ~ Shunyamurti Teaching

Ep 1919Urgent Message in Our Morphogenic Field - A Special Message from Shunyamurti
This is an excerpt from a longer teaching posted on our Members Section. Watch the full teaching - sign up for your free trial https://www.satyoga.org/becoming-a-member Description: Since the cosmos is fractally constructed, a common logic of unfoldment exists at every level, in every node of consciousness. This produces in the egoic mind a morphogenic effect that pervades our reality, and manifests as wondrous synchronicities and as similar sorts of self-sabotaging glitches, self-destructive attitudes, stupid reactions, and vain clashes of conflicting wills. If we can reach the inner root of these karmic patterns, then consciousness can free itself of bondages and return to our true nature. Teaching Recorded on Sunday, January 21, 2024

The nature and accomplishment of the necessary sacrificial acts will be explained and possibly fulfilled in the upcoming retreat.
Ep 1891Leave the Inferno of the Ego Mind ~ Shunyamurti Teaching
The chattering ego mind functions as a veil to separate our consciousness from the realization of the Whole. Within the ego, the mindfield is further fragmented into many illusory parts, each with a different drive and orientation toward the Other. Some parts are helpful and compassionate, others may be dark and demonic. Still others may be sad, frightened, anxious, ashamed, confused, and feel powerless. This turns the ego into a conflicted hell realm. There is a path of purification that leads quickly through Purgatorio to the superconscious Paradiso of the Supreme Self. If you are willing to leave your attachments behind, your inner wisdom will guide you to freedom.
Ep 1887The Power that Ends All Anguish and Delusion Awaits Within ~ Shunyamurti Early Morning Teaching
Salvation can only be our own receipt of forgiveness from the Merciful Lord Who abides within the Heart as the Self. Once forgiven for the sin of egocentricity and separation from the Self, one is freed from the delusions of duality. Perception becomes cleansed of its defilements and the perfection of the divine beauty of the Real is recognized with awe and wonder. Consciousness gladly surrenders to be absorbed into the Blissful Light.
Ep 1882God’s Light Ignites the Final Bonfire of Vanities - Shunyamurti Early Morning Teaching
Consciousness is constantly morphing, causing the world to appear as a metastable process of mutation, leading to an entropic disjunction of desires and drives, reflected as a world on the edge of chaos. Consciousness and its world both undergo the passage into annihilation. But then, as the chaos converts into pure potentiality, it morphs into a new and perfect order. Thus, the world dies and is reborn. Worldhood itself is without beginning or end. Time is not other than eternity.
Ep 1879Bliss is the Self’s Illusion—the Ego is its Disillusion - Shunyamurti Answers Your Questions
Don't Miss - Starts Tomorrow - Do you have a question for Shunyamurti? Join us live and bring in the New Year with Shunyamurti!

Ep 1877The World Will Fulfill Your Desires - Shunyamurti Answers Your Questions
Do you have a question for Shunyamurti? Join us live and bring in the New Year with Shunyamurti! Attaining Maha-Sukha: The Infinite Bliss! Dec 29 - Jan 2 SIGN UP: https://bit.ly/MahaSukha Quantum waves convert into particles in order to fulfill the desire of the observing physicist. Those desires in turn are a product of the collapsing of qualium wave functions which convert the potentiality of desire into actuality, and turn humans into desiring machines. The whole cosmos appears because of desire, but not the desire of humans, but rather, the Desire of Consciousness Itself. The One Infinite Self desires an infinity of experiences to reflect and fulfill its Will to know Itself by converting Its unmanifest essence into the greatest work of art ever created: the Universe from the Alpha Point to the Omega Point (and its antimatter inverse Other), containing every form of beauty, and every possibility of meaning, in a vast Theodrama culminating in the fulfillment of Its infinite greed, via Its own embodiment as the Self-Revelation and Self-Redemption of all its dissipative holographic structures, systems, and holons in a grand return to Our eternal Singularity.
Ep 1875Know the Joy of Being Born as God ~ Shunyamurti Christmas Teaching
The symbolic meaning of Christmas is a message of universal urgency and personal significance to every conscious being. It is a prefigured celebration of your awakening to your divine nature and the rebirth of the character you play in the matrix as an avatar, a Buddha, a manifestation of God, begotten as the Only Self, by the blissful union of Shakti and Shiva. Blessings for living in the glory of Theosis.
Ep 1871How to Bring Life to this Valley of Dry Bones ~ Shunyamurti Teaching
Because we have abandoned our love for the Mother Goddess and the Father God, and their internal integration as pure mutuality of divine adoration, the life energy has gone out of our archetypal forms and fallen into the morbid and demonic realm of the hungry ghosts and zombie egos, which clash in the darkness of a desert world on the brink of self-annihilation. Only a return to the fullness of the Zero will emanate the salvific power of the Source of our Being.
Ep 1865Disregard the Ego Narratives - Shunyamurti Reads The Sages
No one is in bondage. Only the choice to believe the ego narratives diverts the attention from the Supreme Presence within—and equally without. This is a universal truth. The illumined sages of every spiritual lineage have passed this on as their legacy. That is why it is often called the Perennial Philosophy. But theoretical knowledge is not enough: The habit of forgetfulness of Self must be abandoned.
Ep 1860Recognize the Reality of Dreaming and the Dreaming of Reality
Ultimate reality is closer than the present moment and never becomes past or future. To perceive this Truth is already to be liberated and forever free. But the timebound mind, which veils the Real, must be dropped so that all is revealed and transcended.
Ep 1844The Empowering Secrets of our Paradoxical Reality - Shunyamurti Teaching
The Buddha Mind loves paradox. Once you are energized by the recognition that the world is Nirvana, and that Nirvana is not other than the apparent world, all the predispositions of the linear mind that produce the bondage of reification drop away spontaneously. In the revelation of the Self as naked Presence, all is perceived as miraculous and awesomely beautiful. Attainment of Liberation is the result of dropping all fear and desire, all thought constructs, and all judgments.
Ep 1840The Aghori Option May Be Your Best Strategy - Shunyamurti Teaching
Today, many people are functioning as hungry ghosts. And many are paralyzed spiritually by feelings of disgust and shame about their self-images, histories, and modes of self-presentation. In this context, Shunyamurti retells a story originally told by Acharya Sthaneshwar Timalsina about his meeting with an Aghori guru—and explores the implications of the extreme lifestyles and practices of those pariah yogis with amazing powers. Through this analysis, we learn how to raise our consciousness to new symbolic heights and then pass beyond the mind to the Supreme Real. This enables the liberated Self to emerge.
Ep 1837The Whole World is Becoming Gaza ~ Shunyamurti Teaching
Join us live online this weekend, Nov 10 - 12: The Great Escape: A New Path Out of the Prison of the Ego https://bit.ly/your-great-escape Pay What You Can Scholarships Available. Aghoris are fierce, sinister, sometimes superhuman yogis who reject all civilized values, live in cremation grounds and treat the funeral pyres as private barbecues. They are so dead to desire that they are fearless and can endure levels of pain and horror that would break other men. They are radically free and beyond inhibition or moral constraints. Now that the territory of Gaza is being bombed relentlessly on a daily basis the zone is becoming a vast cremation ground. A new kind of Aghori army may emerge from this hideous crucible that will make even zombies flee in terror. For those of us who seek the other end of the spectrum of consciousness, we can reach the state of fearlessness through being absorbed into the bliss of divine love and adoration. But it will require the same achievement of the death of appetite for ease and sensory enjoyment.
Ep 1835Extract Consciousness from Limiting Narratives - Question and Answer Compilation with Shunyamurti

The way to undo our fallen state is clarified and its outcome described.
Ep 1831The Four Secret Passageways to Freedom ~ Shunyamurti Invites You to the Next Online Retreat
Join us at our next advanced training weekend in the art of Sovereignty, Nov 10 - 12: The Great Escape: A New Path Out of the Prison of the Ego https://bit.ly/your-great-escape Consciousness is a many-splendored power. But humans have lost the art of activating and mastering its full potential. They have become victims of their minds, rather than free sovereigns living in joy and creative genius. To escape the prison of a consciousness that has become too dense, too fixed in obsolete beliefs, trapped in distressing emotions, delusions, and self-limiting attitudes, you must become skilled in the magical art of shifting your assemblage point by raising the internal energy of kundalini. This ultimate alchemical attainment is urgently needed now—as our collective world is at the breaking point.
Ep 1818Attunement to the Self is Our Function - Shunyamurti Teaching
The world is becoming ever more polarized, and soon everyone will join the living dead—either as a zombie or an avadhuta, one who has gone through ego death. The latter will free the souls trapped in the state of the former.
Ep 1824Antagonism Can Only Lead to Mutual Destruction ~ Shunyamurti Teaching
People operating at the ego level go to war out of love—whether it is love of family, country, land, treasure, conquest, or glory. But only lovers of God—who have realized God in all beings and therefore cannot hate anyone or act with aggression or violence toward anyone—can bring peace to the world. To love God is to love your Self. This love transcends all worlds. It is now the will of God to bring complete peace by returning all souls to their Source in the Unmanifest Supreme Reality.
Ep 1813Learn the Nirvanic Logos of the Hologram ~ Shunyamurti Early Morning Teaching
In order not to deviate from the highest trajectory of the unfoldment of Consciousness, one must stay attuned to the Dao. This is the Logos that unites Nirvana with Samsara—nonduality with multiplicity—thus transforming the cosmic hologram into the pure reflection of the Infinite Intelligence. One perceives the Real unstained by egoic delusions that produce the sense of conflict, imperfection, and evil. In this way, the great work of divine alchemy is completed.
Ep 1821The Mystical Meaning Of The Mideast War: Armageddon Now?
The war in Ukraine has suddenly disappeared from the news, replaced by a new war in the Middle East. Rather than getting lost in the labyrinth of conspiracy theories about the identity of the puppet master, or paranoia about the likelihood of this escalating into global nuclear war, it is imperative to remain centered in the Real Self and understand the spiritual significance of what is unfolding—and to act in accord with the Dao of these final days.

Ep 1809Become God’s Fearless Lion ~ Shunyamurti Teaching

Our next retreat—The Great Escape—is designed to enable us to break out of the prison camp of the mind, liberate our souls, and bring a beautiful end to this dying world—and a divine new beginning.
Ep 1806Liberation Requires a Laser-Like Mind ~ Shunyamurti Classic Teaching
We have all been indoctrinated into nihilistic, false, and incoherent beliefs. This has blurred our ability to understand reality and to connect with God. By attaining freedom from all beliefs and returning to the coherence of silent presence, we can break through the veils that separate us from the redemptive Light and Power of Divine Love.

Ep 1802The Conscientious Will Receive a Visit from the Goddess - Shunyamurti Teaching
You can watch, listen, and read this teaching in full on our website: https://www.satyoga.org/new-covenant/ A New Covenant for the World to Come The development of true conscience only comes when one has silenced the superego voices in one’s mind and has discovered the inner Presence of the divine Voice of the Stillness. Then, the consciousness opens up to the awesome reality of oneness-in-difference. This vision brings with it the ethic of nonduality—and the duty to treat all beings as manifestations of the One Self.
Ep 1799Light the Fire of Creative Imagination! Shunyamurti Classic Teaching
To perceive the perfect poetry of life in this time of darkness, one must light the sacrificial fire of our pure Spirit—which manifests as joyous creative imagination—that sees the infinite beauty of the luminous Presence of God everywhere, converting the darkness into Light. This is an excerpt from a longer teaching posted on our Members Section: https://bit.ly/poetry-made-real
Ep 1786Secrets of the Kundalini Assemblage Points - Shunyamurti Seminar Teaching
This powerful teaching is taken from an advanced weekend seminar. Get the complete audio-video package in our store: https://bit.ly/one-concept-av Our mental narratives transfigure infinity into a bardo state. We become enslaved to our own preconceptions and self-fulfilling prophecies. At each assemblage point, the kundalini becomes configured by a different paradigm, and different synchronicities and karmic potentialities arise. At the highest levels, we become free of confinement in contexts and conditions. The awesome and inconceivable destroyer and creator of worlds, the GodSelf, becomes revealed.
Ep 1783Claim Your Freedom from Thoughts and Desires - Shunyamurti Classic Teaching
The path to psycho-spiritual freedom goes through the portal of dispassion. Once the attention abides in stillness and can no longer be captured by thoughts and emotions, the greatness of the Self is revealed. Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/
Ep 1779The Wisdom of the Sufi Poet Who Started It All - Shunyamurti Teaching
Hakim Sana’i, the first major Sufi poet to express the message of the radical spiritual revolution that would be carried on later by such voices as Attar, Rumi, and Hafiz, delivers the punchy nectar of divine intoxication that comes of annihilating the ego. Even a few bullets from this ecstatic shotgun of Truth can do the job on any ego who listens. Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/
Ep 1776What is Enlightened Consciousness? - Shunyamurti Classic Teaching
The psychology of the postmodern ego is so cynical that it can even turn the truth of nonduality into a reason for fear and dissatisfaction. However, knowledge is power. Once we understand the dynamics of the ego mind, we can make alterations in its functioning. And the intellect can deconstruct the ego entirely and sublimate its energies so that consciousness shifts its locus to the highest level of its own spectrum. This teaching was recorded on December 6, 2012.
