Spiritual Teachings With Shunyamurti

Meditation is not a matter of either technique or belief. Begin with total doubt about reality and seek the source of your consciousness. Direct realization requires the absence of preconceptions and predispositions. Recorded during the Lion Heart Koan retreat, on the morning of Sunday, October 25, 2015.

In anticipation of our next online weekend intensive, Passing Through The Gate, July 14 - 16, (https://bit.ly/passing-gate) Shunyamurti gave this profound teaching. Eventually we all arrive at the Gate to our innermost consciousness. But we can accelerate the process of going through the Great Gate by choosing the involutionary path of living in total awareness. This is the moment when the return to the inner light and natural joy is most easily attained.

You can avoid the meat grinder of a bardo state encounter with wrathful deities if you are willing to go through all three deaths, starting now! Then the fullness of creative power will return.

Eternal bliss comes at the price of renunciation of the ego-mind. Otherwise, the hubris and greed of the ego will block the reception of the supernatural intelligence of the Mind of God. It is divine love alone that will restore the world to perfect order. Recorded on February 27, 2015. Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/

The ego keeps files on everyone and everything in its life. These files fill the mind. The ego must be de-filed so that the undefiled Self is revealed. In effortless presence redemption is achieved. Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/

Sublimation of ego tendencies results from sustaining the pillar of light that remains when one adores the Absolute Self.

Where there is the Supreme Light, there can be no darkness. It is important to remember that the dark forces are unreal. Use viveka (discernment) and vairagya (dispassion) to abide in the unity of the Real—and remember: you are That! Recorded on February 20, 2012.

The Diamond-Lightning Sutra strikes again! Buddha one-ups Heraclitus: you can’t swim in the same stream even once—because there is no stream! There’s no real water in a dream. Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org

The poetry of Attar is unpacked to reveal its profound spiritual teachings. The relationship between the weak and the strong elements in the ego will determine its health and willingness to grow and recognize the Truth. The bottom line is that the ego must realize it is nothing, a shadow, and one must live only for what is real and eternal—which is the Beloved Self.

What are we here for, if not love and joy? To bring that into the world, we must be That, which is referred to in the Vedic tradition as Brahman. But we must throw out all our myths and ego narratives to uncover Brahman, our deepest Self, within. Recorded on the morning of Tuesday, February 21, 2012.

Why don't we live constantly in joy? Are we addicted to suffering? Some mysterious power binds us to the illusion of lack. There is a kind of schizophrenia in the Mind of God that produces a world of contradictions and a superposition of peace and conflict, nirvana and samsara. The path to liberation starts when we remember to laugh at the unreal ego. Then the blissful shakti emerges as a creative force that lights up our world. Recorded April 2, 2012.

The power of these numinous nuggets of gnosis to re-connect one with our true nature is astonishing.

The simple practice of silencing the mind and surrendering to the ecstatic Self is the direct and effortless path. This has always been the message of yogis and sages down through time: you are already swimming in the ocean of bliss. Why not reveal it to your ego? Recorded on February 2nd, 2012.

The Diamond Sutra, also known as the Lightning Strike Sutra, reveals the paradoxical clarity of the awakened Self, and enables the attainment of the merit which entitles us to dream a perfect world.

As Kali Yuga crashes in flames, a divine transformation is taking place in the world. The souls with the most intense yearning for God are being taught how to redream the divine creation. Conscious transformation of our values and focus from the mundane to the noumenal is the effort that brings the response of grace.

Sri Ramana teaches the direct realization of the Self, requiring only tireless devotion. Grace is the reward for serving God wholeheartedly, with complete indifference toward the apparent world.

The ancient epic known as the Ramayana is a time capsule of information and instruction for facing the final days of Kali Yuga. Knowledge of the structure of consciousness and its permutations, including the soul’s romancing and renouncing of desire, is bringing the ego face to face with the Self—and the invincible power of the Real.

People have lost all trust in the institutions that were supposed to serve them, but which now oppress with tyrannical force. There is no way back, now that legitimacy has been squandered. The one rational response is attunement of consciousness to the unified planetary field of intelligence that resonates with the Will of God. This attainment must be our highest priority.

The world is analogous to a moving image appearing on a computer screen. A shaman learns to modify the underlying program, producing magical effects, through attaining altered states of mind. The yogi transcends the mind and gains the power to turn off the computer or turn the world appearing on the screen to light.

The most ancient epic work of literature is the Ramayana, the story of how the dark side is defeated by spiritual heroes and how the kingdom of God is won. This tale is not about the past, but explains what is happening now—and contains the secret of the strategy that will assure the victory of those who faithfully serve the Infinite Light.

An ontological shift into absolute idealism is necessary to regain our freedom and power, since the universe is mind, not matter. Sri Ramana refutes Einstein and reminds us that the ancient yogis understood the subtleties of ether, and that plasma physics is under the control of our cosmic intellect.

Why is there a subtle feeling of lack in almost every human being today? The ego is the absence of the Self. The Self shall be realized only when the ego becomes absent through the recognition that you are what you are seeking—and all you need to do is be still. From Nov 8, 2013.

The tides of Time are changing now, from the high tide of pravritti to the low tide of nivritti, as the ancient sages called them. Those who do not factor that in to their life strategies and goals will be quite disappointed (which is an understatement). But those who do attune to the teleological will discover one can ride a bliss wave from here to eternity. There are, of course, certain skills involved and one little renunciation.

In this classic teaching from April 29, 2012, Shunyamurti takes us on a deep dive into the paradox of the need to make effort on the spiritual path and yet with the knowledge that all effort is useless to reach the goal. Only the grace of the one almighty Self will bring the final realization that sets one free. Of course, since in nonduality the giver and the receiver of grace are the same, the only kind of effort that will suffice is effortless effort, which the immortal Daoist sages called wu wei. It is still the only way.

What power is really in control of the world? How can we increase our intelligence, our access to hidden information, and our degree of freedom? In this selection from Shunyamurti’s virtual talk at Anarchapulco 2023, he shows how our archetypal capacities have been degraded and how to awaken from this cosmic dream.

The revolution must begin within, with the triumph of the Real Self over the false ego. Then, victory over the external forces of evil can be easily won.

How does one get locked into an ego? Why did we learn to lie—even to ourselves? How to break free? What kind of identity can we look forward to in the once and future golden age?

The Great Work of Self-realization requires the dropping of all concepts and the elimination of all mental chatter. This destroys the illusion of duality. And reveals the divine splendor that fills the cosmos and will soon shine so brightly that the world will disappear in the radiant sameness that saturates the consciousness of those who see with the Eye of Shiva. (The event was a retreat entitled Divine Love is Real, recorded on February 20, 2012.)

How the conspiracy to take down the human species was prepared and executed, and how it will be defeated, is the subject of this big-picture discourse. Higher powers than the human are participating in this mighty struggle between good and evil that will that will bring world history to its climax. If you wish to serve in the brigades of the Light and gain victory over the dark side, then there are a few essential skills that must be mastered. These core competencies are explained in depth.

When the heart breaks open, it is time to celebrate. What stops the process is the ego’s attachment to its self-image as a tragic hero and its loyalty to an object of love. It requires an even greater love—God’s love—to sacrifice the limited identity and realize the Self as Infinite Divine Love.

"What is the cause of pain and what is the path to freedom from its physical manifestation?" a student asks. In his response, Shunyamurti explains that whatever dis-ease symptoms are appearing in the body or the mind are symbols of repressed heart-knowledge. Two questions can re-start the flow of Truth. Only Truth felt with deep love can set us free.

Every morning before dawn, for thousands of years, Sat Yogis have been gathering together by the Holy River of Divine Love to make a sacrificial offering of the ego in order to serve all souls as towering beacons of spiritual power. Let us purify our attitudes and intentions so we can fulfill our mission now, in the world’s darkest hour.

A few words from a little-known Sufi poet-sage of the tenth century can pry open your heart with an explosive charge of Truth that you cannot resist. Shaikh Abu-Saeed Abil-Kheir, better known by the title of his book: Nobody Son of Nobody, ably translated by Vraje Abramian, will bring a different kind of tear to flow from your eyes. Hear these poems and weep.

To see through the ego’s delusions, one must adopt a scientific approach to the highest yoga. One’s intellect must be able to integrate quantum physics with the perspectives of semiotics, complexity theory, chaos theory, psychoanalysis, and archetypal psychology. One must recognize how these disciplines are fully congruent with classical metaphysics and the philosophy of religion. One must avoid the trap of taking religious imagery and dogma literally, rather than as metaphor, and be able to discern the underlying referent within religious mythology. Only with an accurate orientation toward to the Real Source of our consciousness can we hope to realize God.

The soul that is determined to escape from the ego’s control must develop a number of virtues and powers in order to gain the freedom to ascend to God-consciousness. To live as a true spiritual warrior, one must use whatever is left of one’s drive to know the Truth, and be willing to open one’s heart and offer the soul’s love to the Almighty One. There is good reason to call this the Hero’s Journey!

To cope with the cataclysmic events that are about to erupt in the world, we must be living in Truth. The ego is based on a false premise and is filled with delusional projections. If we do not become free of its paranoid attitude and closed heart, we will not be able to connect with the God-Self. Use wisely the time that remains.

The solution to the riddle of impossible humility is offered with humor and compassion for the human condition. The same riddle is posed in a slightly different way by every wisdom tradition, yet always pointing to the same paradox. You can't make effort to be effortless. One can never attain humility, since claiming it refutes the claim. There must be some way out of this, but it requires abandoning all hope

This retreat is intended to prepare all seekers for what is coming! In this invitation to participate in our upcoming Chaos to Coherence seminar, Shunyamurti expresses the importance of reaching a state of total spiritual coherence--total God-consciousness and total awareness of the Real that transcends the illusion of time, so consciousness can rise beyond the incoming tide of destruction to a level of truth that transmit a vibrational frequency that is a beacon of peace and love amidst the chaos in this dream of the world illusion.

Reality is revealed from the perspective of a liberated sage, who perceives only the luminous, blissful, eternal Self. By giving our hearts to our beloved Supreme Self now, we can be lifted out of range of any effects of the cataclysmic events about to occur in the phenomenal world. It is useful to know the relative truth about the perilous state of the world and how close we are to thermonuclear Armageddon. But the only reason to know that is to motivate the consciousness to ascend to the Transcendent Real.

"As we approach the final days of this final period of the Kalpa, the events that occur within the cycle of time become ever more extreme, and the extreme polarities of consciousness become ever more powerful, and the middle range of the spectrum of consciousness becomes weaker." In this morning teaching, Shunyamurti reminds us that we have the power to choose between the divine and the demonic energies, and the moment of choice is now. Is your soul encased by the ego or will you decide to take refuge with the protector of all souls and become a being of light, not matter.

Surprise! Shunyamurti offers insight into the element of surprise as a complementary aspect to the trinity, forming the invisible principle that creates a quaternity, and which is actually the creative freedom and power required to redream the world which appears as a spectrum of (often surprising) moments of pleasure and pain, revealing that perceived glitches are actually perfect opportunities to recognize the incredible mystery of an authentic spiritual path to awakening.

What does it mean to kill your ego? Shunyamurti offers a solution to the problem of the ego–no mind! Take refuge in the effortless, natural state–your true nature–and you will discover your identity is a fiction, all is contained, ordained, and explained by your true Self, and reality will unfold without obstruction.

Open your heart and receive the power and shakti that comes from Divine Love! In this guided meditation journey, Shunyamurti invites us to attune to Presence. When you feel the presence of the Supreme within, the joy of eternal consciousness will be realized as your Self, and the infinite intensity of energy in the Zero Point will annihilate the ego-mind and purify the consciousness, so you can be reborn as Holy Spirit.

The true significance of Namaste is revealed, along with the real meaning of dreams, insights into the state of deep sleep, and its revelatory connection to the source of life energy.

We are near the end of Kali Yuga, and it seems like there is so much karma to purify. Will this baggage burden us even in the next cycle of time? Shunyamurti responds to a question about the function of karma. Graduation from the school of life and death requires purification of consciousnes. If you clean up your karma now you can receive a passport to Liberation and the heavenly realms.

Shunyamurti casts light on the archetype of all illnesses: every symptom is a symbol and a blessing, if one is able to understand the klein bottle aspect of reality--that every ego's got it all inside out.

Shunyamurti outlines the Seven Levels of Grace that will lead one to the fulfillment of the Quest. But to receive the gift of Grace, one must have faith and let go of feelings of unworthiness, allowing grace to heal the pain of the paradigm of duality and recognizing that Grace is of the Self and not of an other.
