THE SOURCE OF ENERGY IS OUR SPIRITUAL HEART

THE SOURCE OF ENERGY IS OUR SPIRITUAL HEART

We follow the I-thought to the source.
We trace the I-thought to the source. 

You've heard me say this many times,
but I never really discuss the source with you too much.

When I speak of the source, the source of energy within us,
is our spiritual heart, not the physical heart, the spiritual heart.

The spiritual heart is not a chakra.
It has absolutely nothing to do with chakras. 

The spiritual heart is on the right side of your chest,
two digits from the center.

 This is the source of universal power.
We can compare it to the source of the universe. 

There is a central source that maintains and sustains
the whole universe. 
I spoke of this previously. 

The central source makes our sun look like a particle of dust,
comparatively speaking. 

The central sun is so tremendous,
that you cannot even describe it. It's mind boggling. 

If it makes our sun look like a speck of dust,
you can imagine how big this source must be.

Now not to go into many details, but just briefly to remind you
of what's going on in this apparent universe,
all of the galaxies, the entire cosmology,
revolves around the central source, all of the solar systems. 

So when you take our solar system, our sun and all its planets revolve around the central source.
It takes approximately 24,000 years
for the earth to revolve around the source.
12,000 years are descending, and 12,000 years are ascending.
In other words, the closer the earth, in the solar system,
comes to the central source, the more enlightenment comes
upon this earth. Man is at it's highest peak. 

It takes 12,000 years to get to this peak,
and then the descension ensues.
The earth starts moving away from the central source,
and the earth declines again to the dark ages.
It takes 12,000 years for this to happen.
It's a 24,000 year cycle.
We are now on the ascending scale. 

We're approximately 3,000 years into the ascending scale.
Now think of your heart center on the right side of your chest.
This is also the central source for you.
Remember your body is a microcosm of the macrocosm.
You are equivalent to the entire universe.
You're a replica of the universe. The body is another universe.
And as you voluntarily focus on the central source in your body,
on the right side of your chest, enlightenment ensues.
Similar to the whole universe revolving around the central source, it's all cosmology, ascending toward the age of enlightenment. 

You as an individual ascend towards self-realization,
as you focus on the central source
which is on the right side of your chest. 

Now the idea is, for all of your beliefs, all of your thoughts,
all of your ideas to go back into the central source in your heart. 
Everything should return to the heart center.

You have to become clear, no thoughts, no ideas, no opinions,
no beliefs, no karmic leftovers, no samskaras. 

All of these have to return to the central source.

~Robert Adams - T.182 -The Heart Center -6th September, 1992

Every experience you are destined to have you must go through.

‎
Every experience you are destined to have
you must go through.
But with the Master’s Grace,
everything becomes light and smooth,
and a power stays with you everywhere you go.
Sometimes He goes ahead of you.
Sometimes you notice He is beside you.
Sometimes He moves inside you.
He never leaves you.

~ Mooji

- Does Karma Really Exist? -

Everyone is in their right place.
Everything is right with the universe and with your life. 

Whatever happens to you, whatever you go through good or bad
appears to be the karma that you have accumulated
through past incarnations, that is your experience today. 

If you want to free yourself again you do not react to it. 

You do not react to anything in this world.
You act spontaneously.
You observe things without reacting.
You watch, you look and you always go within.

Within is a haven and a refuge from maya, from ignorance. 

It's beautiful when you can dive within yourself
and touch the emptiness, the truth, the reality. 

Then the reality that you touch becomes the external world for you. 

For what you see in the world today is simply your reality. 

Whatever you observe, whatever you see is your reality,
your personal reality. 

You therefore do not try to change the condition
you rather know the truth. 

The truth is: All is well, everything is unfolding as it should. 

As you dwell in this, the external world changes for you.

~Robert Adams - T.123 - Does Karma Really Exist? -
26th January, 1992

Your real nature is I-am.

Be still and know that I am God.
Your real nature is I-am. 

And the way you experience this I-am,
is by recognizing what I am not!

I-am not my experiences.
I-am not my problems.
I-am not the world.
I-am not the universe.
I-am not myself as I appear to be. 

When everything is gotten out of the way,
the true Self will shine forth in all its glory and splendor.

There's really nothing to do, but be still. 

There are no courses to take.
There's no school to go to.
There's no profound knowledge to learn.
There are no prayers you have to make.
There are no obligations whatsoever. 

Simply quiet your mind.
Do not allow your mind to control you at all.
Do not think past your nose.
When you see the thoughts starting, catch yourself.

Ask yourself, "To whom do these thoughts come?"
They come to me.”
Hold on to the me with all your might and follow the me to its source.
Where did me come from?

How did me get here? What is the source of me?
As you get to the source of me, you will realize, "I am That!
I-am not my body or my mind or the experience.
I-am That I-am. 

I have always been that I-am, nothing more nothing less."
Know your Self. Search for your Self.

-Robert Adams -T. 25 -Three Essential Questions Revisited -
18th November, 1990

The instruction means: ‘Look Within

Q. How can you say that the Heart is on the right when anatomists find it on the left? 

A. It is not denied that the physical organ is on the left; quite correct. But the Heart of which I speak is on the right only. It is my experience. No authority is required. 

Still you can find confirmation in the Sita Upanishad. There is a mantra in the latter saying so.

 [Talk 4] The whole cosmos is combined in one pinhole in the Heart.
 [Talk 263] A tiny hole in the Heart remains always closed and is opened by vichara (investigation into the Self). 

The result is ‘I-I’ consciousness, the same as samadhi. 

Q. How can the all-immanent God reside in the Heart? 

A. Do we not reside in one place? Do you not say you are in your body? Similarly, God is said to reside in the Heart. 

The Heart is not a place. Some name is mentioned for the place of God because we think we are in the body. 

This kind of instruction is meant for those who can appreciate only relative knowledge. 
Being immanent everywhere, there is no place for God. 

Because we think we are in the body, we also believe that we are born.
 However, we do not think of the body, of God, or of method of realization in our deep slumber. 
Yet in our waking state, we hold on to the body and think we are in it. 

Paramatma is that from which the body is born, in which it lives and into which it resolves. We however think that we reside within the body. Hence such instruction is given. The instruction means: ‘Look Within’. [Talk 269]
- Conscious Immortality

Things are not supposed to be any way. Things just are.

Things are not supposed to be any way. Things just are. 

They have no substance, they have no reality. 

As you respond to conditions you are simply wasting your energy,
when you can be using that energy to uncover your Self, 

to discover your own reality.

What are you doing with your life?
How do you spend your days? 

The appearance is that your body is getting older and older,
and if you're still judging by appearances
you try to look younger and younger by putting creams on your face,
by exercising day and night, by buying the finest clothes.
It's like beating a dead horse. 

The so-called body is not meant to last.
As soon as you were born you began to die.

Therefore find out. 

Who was born? Who dies? 

Who has experiences? 

Who is going through this entire mess? 

Who needs it? Who wants it? 

Wake up!

~Robert Adams - T34: One Self, One Consciousness

Never dwell on a problem! Dwell only on God

---Never dwell on a problem! Dwell only on God -----

Do whatever is necessary to make your environment better
so you can have more time to work on yourself.
If something is disturbing you put an end to it once and for all.
If you hold on to those disturbances that happened fifty years ago, thirty years ago, twenty years ago, or even yesterday
this keeps you back from spiritual advancement.

For your mind is contemplating the foolishness
that you think is so important.
Somebody hit your car and drove away
and now you've got to pay for repairs.
What happened?
That's the way it is.
Do not dwell on this.
Do what has to be done and get it over with and continue.
Go forward.

Never dwell on a problem!

It expands the problem in your mind and builds up your ego!

Dwell only on God.

How do you dwell on God?
By surrendering all your stuff to God.

Giving up all of the misery, all the attitudes,
all the anger, depression.

Give it all up to God!
God will chew it up and spit it out and you'll be free of it.

~Robert Adams - T.229 The Choice Is Yours - March 7, 1993

“Consciousness is the only power.”

"Now here is the paradox.
 At the human level nothing really exists, yet at the same time things begin to work for you. 
This is why this teaching is beyond words and thoughts. 

Do not attempt to analyze these things as I talk to you. 
Do not attempt to figure it out in any way.
 Just let it happen. Reality, as consciousness, exists and you don't. 
Yet when you say “Consciousness is the only power," something happens to your humanhood. 

You become happy. 
You couldn't care less if they dropped an atom bomb on your head. 
You couldn't care less if the doctor did tell you you've got two weeks to live and you've got cancer or whatever. 
Or you've been promoted to president of your company. 
It's all the same. 
You feel alive.

You're not alive as most people feel. 
It's a universal aliveness. 
You sort of feel that your cells, your atoms, are connected to the entire universe. 
And you do know that all is well. 
You feel wonderful.
This happens just by saying
 “Consciousness is the only power.”
Sri Robert Adams Nov 7, 1991

The whole universe is a projection of the mind.

The four principles of Jnana Marga are:

The first principle
------------------------
The whole universe is a projection of the mind. 
Everything you see in this world,
everything that happens in your life is a projection of your mind.
It has no substance, no value.
You are the creation of the universe.

The second principle
----------------------------
We do not prevail.
There is no substance in back of your existence.
You didn't come from anything.
You were never born. You can never die.
You are no thing that you can ever imagine.
And your life as it appears does not exist.

The third principle
------------------------
No thing that exists has an ego.
There is no ego to back anything up.
You have believed all of these years that you have an ego
and that you have to get rid of it.
There is no ego to be gotten rid of.
If there is no ego there is nothing to do.
There is nothing to fear and there is nothing to fight.

The fourth principle
---------------------------
The understanding what self-realization is not.
You can never understand realization.
But you can understand what it is not.
Everything that exists is not.
When everything is gotten rid of, realization appears by itself.
They're in the transcripts.

-Robert Adams - T.98 -The Five Steps to Self Realization -

A FORGIVING MOMENT

A FORGIVING MOMENT

Don't try to forgive.
Forgiveness is not a 'doing'.
Simply accept that this moment is exactly the way it is right now.
And the past was the way it was.

Accept your non-acceptance in the present.
Forgive your inability to forgive.
Feel your breath, the sensations in your body, the life that burns brightly in you.

Everyone is doing their best, even when it seems like they are doing their worst.
Everyone is dreaming or having a nightmare, battling with pain you may never understand.

You don't have to condone their actions.
You may not be able to wake them up.
You don't have to like what happened.

Simply let go of the illusion
that it could have been any different.

You are different now, anyhow.
Don't focus on something
you have no control over.
The past is a distant land.

Bring your attention back to this moment,
Your source of true power.
Your place of connectedness.

Wake up from the dream
That anyone has any power
To take away your inner peace.

Drop the need to be right.
Embrace the need to be free.

Come out of the story of 'my life'.
Reclaim the moment.

Be here, in your new life.
Show up for this brand new day.

This is forgiveness.

- Jeff Foster

Creation appears to exist

There really is no appearance.
There appears to appear an appearance. But no appearance exists. 

I always go back to the hypnosis, the mesmerism.
The water in the mirage appears real
but upon investigation it's not water at all, it's sand.
The sky appears blue, but if you investigate there is no sky
and there is no blue and so forth.

These things do not exist. That is the phenomena.
They appear to exist. Creation appears to exist. 

Go back to the dream. Why does a dream come?
It comes out of your mind, it comes out of your imagination. 

It's external to you that's how it appears.
A dream appears to be external to you. 

The whole universe is involved. But where does it come from?
Out of your own mind. 

So all the rest, creation, God, people, places and things
come out of the mind. They don't really exist.

Everybody is dreaming the mortal dream.
It's just like when you have a dream, we're all in your dream.
Is it the same dream? All of us in this room are in your dream.
When you have a dream tonight, you are dreaming this dream
and so is everyone else. 

But it appears as if everyone is having an individual dream.
And yet there is only one dream. 

And when you awaken it will stop.
So do not take dreams seriously and do not take the world seriously.

Observe, be the witness, watch, do not react and be happy.
-Robert Adams - T.78 - What Is Brahman? - 4th July, 1991

The world is a phenomena that belongs to a dream.

The world is not your friend.
The world is a phenomena that belongs to a dream. 

You've got to be mature enough to ask the question,
"To whom does this world belong? Who lives in the world?
Where did the world come from?"
and your answer to all the questions begins with I. 

"I live in the world. I partake in the world. I see the world."
And we're back to I again. 

You finally get the idea that the whole world is hanging on I.
The I has to be transcended.

You begin early in the morning, when you first wake up.
Before you become aware of I,
you notice that you are in a state of peace, of joy,
even if for only a few seconds.

I was not present. You are not aware of the world.
Catch yourself tomorrow morning. 

It only happens in a flash, in a few seconds.
Yet all of a sudden the world becomes real for you.
I, has awakened. Where did it come from? 

If you investigate you will see that your spiritual heart center
is on the right side of your chest, and the I has come
out of your chest, out of your spiritual heart, out of the source,
becoming more powerful as it emerges and goes into your brain. 

Then you become aware of your body and you say, "I am alive."
Once you become aware of your body and your mind,
you become aware of the world, and then the universe. 

Therefore the wise person catches the I before it goes any further.
In other words as the I emerges from your chest, you abide in the I. 

To the extent that you can abide in the I, or focus on the I,
something phenomenal will begin to happen.

The I will reverse its course and begin to return to its source.
I will repeat this again.
To the average person the I begins to become stronger and stronger
when you wake up in the morning. 

It emerges from your spiritual center and heads up your spine
to your brain, where you become cognizant of the world. 

But for the spiritual aspirant who practices self-inquiry,
you begin to watch the I doing this. You abide in the I.
As you begin to abide in the I,
it will reverse its course and head back to the center.
When it heads back to the center, it will rest on the circumference
of the center. That is as far as you can go by yourself. 

You will be in an effortless thought-free state.
You will be in the void, as it tells you in Buddhism.

Yet most Buddhists think the void is self-realization.
That's a mistake. 

The void is when your I is resting on the circumference
of your heart center. When that happens you've come a long way.
You are a mature disciple. 

Yet the Self has to pull the I inside the heart.
Then you become liberated. 

This is very rarely done by the self or by yourself.
I'm speaking of the small self. 

Only in a very few, will the I go directly into the heart center
and be extinguished.

That is why Sages are necessary. That is why satsang is necessary.
For the Sage, who may be a 1000 miles away from you,
as long as you have a direct line to the Sage mentally,
the Sage is omnipresent, all-pervading. 

Therefore the Sage, and the Self, and the guru and God are one...
So that even if you are away from the proximity of the Sage,
if you have a close association with that particular Sage,
or that Sage is your guru, the Self, which is really the Sage,
will pull the I into the heart, and you will be liberated.

That's how it appears to work. The rest is up to you.
-Robert Adams - T.78 - What Is Brahman? - 4th July, 1991

Say, "Brahman", to yourself, nothing else.

Close your eyes.
Drop everything.
Say, "Brahman", to yourself, nothing else.
Wait a few seconds and say it again,
"Brahman". 

Wait a few seconds and say it again,
"Brahman". 

Feel how happy you are becoming,
just by uttering the name "Brahman".

What joy you are beginning to feel.
You feel uplifted.

Your so-called problems vanish without a trace,
for they never existed to begin with.
"Brahman"!
-Robert Adams

No thing is solid in this universe.

No thing is solid in this universe.

It is all vibrations, and the deeper you go into the vibrations,
the quieter it becomes, until there's total nothingness.

The total nothingness is that substratum called consciousness,
of which most of us know nothing about, for we cannot explain it, we cannot demonstrate it, we cannot know it,
as long as our mind focuses on the 'I-thought' and the personal self.

Therefore, Sages have admonished that we awaken,
that we simply awaken.

Yet most intelligent people cannot accept that.

They believe in their senses.

So the Sage has to invent a method, a way of awakening,
and this is called sadhana, your spiritual practices.

You learn to sit and meditate on an object.
It makes you one-pointed.
It causes you to concentrate.

You are given a mantra.
These are only games, yet some people have to do these things.

~Robert Adams - T. 94 The Cosmic Joke – September 15, 1991

Like when you're sleeping.

As you breathe and you inhale, feel as if you're sucking in
the whole world, the whole universe,
and as you exhale, you're letting it out again.
This exercise makes you feel that the whole universe
comes from you, goes out and comes back.
Like when you're sleeping.
In deep sleep the universe is not here, the world is not here,
your body is not here.
As you awaken, everything is here.
Do this with your breathing.
You inhale, there's absolutely nothing.
The universe has gone back into yourself.
You exhale, and the universe is out there again, external to you.
There is only the one Self, and you are that.
You have no body.
You have no mind.
You are like boundless space.

The old you is beginning to disappear.
The old you is thousands of words, millions of thoughts,
reacting to everything that comes along.
This you no longer exists. You are fresh and new.
There is no longer any karma that can hurt you or
do anything to you,
no longer any samskaras that you have to experience. 

You have already crossed the ocean of samsara, and
you are already the Bodhisattva.
There's nothing you have to earn.
There's nothing you have to pray for.
There's no one you have to see.
There's absolutely nothing you have to do.
You are already free.

You are beyond freedom, beyond liberation,
beyond delusion, beyond ignorance.
You are neither wisdom nor ignorance.
There are no words for you whatsoever.
There's no description of what you are.
There's no one to say.

You are that pure awareness that has always been and
will always be.
There is absolutely nothing you have to do to earn it,
for you are awake from the dream.
Feel this freedom you've never felt before.
Feel the joy, the happiness, the love that you have become.
Feel the reality.

~Robert Adams - T. 167 - The Highest Teaching is Silence -
2nd July, 1992

Vi

There is not one who prays and one who listens.
The prayer and the listener are the same person.
There is no differentiation.
~Robert Adams - T.39 - Sitting in the Silence - 27th January, 1991

Again, if you were the witness of your dream at night,

Again, if you were the witness of your dream at night,
you would not try to improve yourself, improve your affairs.
You would not even react to anything. 

Because there's nothing to improve, because you're not that at all.
The dream is like the images on the chalkboard,
they can be erased and new images put on
and erased and new images put on. 

The dream is like bubbles in the ocean, the bubbles come,
the bubbles go, but the ocean remains the same.
The dream is like the water in the mirage. 

It doesn't exist but it seems real. And so it is with you.

You appear to be real. Everything appears to be real to you,
but it's not.

 And again I say, do not believe what I say.
Find out for yourself. Prove it to yourself.
The only way you can prove it to yourself,
is by practicing sadhana, spiritual disciplines. 

If you do nothing, you get nothing.
You just go through life like a leaf in the wind
and your life will end and you'll appear again somewhere else. 

Because you continue to dream.
In that dream there is reincarnation, there's karma, there's God.
There's all kinds of things happening in the dream.
But also remember, the dream came out of you originally
to begin with. It emanated from you,
where else would it come from? 

There's no one to cause the dream but you.
Who caused the dream that you dream at night? 

You may dream about God.
You may dream about karma and reincarnation.
You could dream that you're an angel.
You may dream that you go to heavenly planes.
You hear blissful music. 

What's causing this to happen? You! There's only you.
You are the cause of everything that takes place. Everything!
Again, to prove this you go into sleep,
into deep sleep and you don't dream,
there's no dream taking place. You're in dreamless sleep. 

The universe is gone, the world is gone, your body is gone,
God is gone, your troubles are gone, everything is gone!
This is why when you awaken,
you say, "I feel refreshed. I slept good."
Because you were without the world and its manifestation.
You must become the witness to this dream also, not the doer,
but the witness.

There's quite a difference.
The doer believes the body and the mind are real.
So they have to take action and make things happen,
get involved in the world. 

But the witness really just imagines that everything's okay,
even though they have not had a realization yet,
but they try to witness everything to the best of their ability.
They become the seer, the witness of all the happenings
on this earth. But there's no reaction. 

And if there's no reaction, the mind becomes weaker and
weaker and weaker, for it has nothing to do anymore.
Until the mind is slowly transcended
and you become free and liberated.

-Robert Adams - T.231 - Witness The Dream -14th March, 1993

I can only explain to you how the universe works,

When it's time to give up this body, to drop it,
you can't take anybody with you, nobody, no possessions, nothing. 

All the things you've been fighting for will have to be left behind.
All your beliefs, your politics,
everything will all have to be left behind.
So how fortunate you are to be able to hear these things.

Do not spend your life discussing politics or the world
or people or places. Save yourself! Save yourself!

I suppose this is another reason why we have Satsang,
so you can hear these things over and over again,
until it clicks and something happens.
You are the only one who can really save yourself. 

Take refuge in the Self. 

At the end of each day, go back to the day in retrospect,
and see how you reacted to situations.
This will give you a good idea of where you're coming from.
It's between you and yourself. 

See the kind of day that you had. "What affected you today,"
you say to yourself. Were you affected by life, life's vicissitudes?
Is your mind always thinking, thinking, thinking constantly and consistently about person, place and thing?
You have to be totally honest with yourself. It's your life.
You can do whatever you want with it.

I can only explain to you how the universe works,
what's going on and the experiences that I've had.
You must learn to love yourself just the way you are. 

If you really love yourself you will love others.
Whatever quality you have, that's what you see in others.
Remember, there's no machine that churns out
pieces of the universe. 

There's no God that's created this universe.
It's all coming from your own mind. It comes from yourself.
You are the one. You must think of these things
when you awaken in the morning. 

Do not get up and put on your clothes and go to work right away,
get involved in the TV and newspaper. It's your dream!
What are you doing with it? Are you lost in your dream?
Are you taking the world as being real and reacting accordingly? 

It's your choice.

-Robert Adams - T.231 - Witness The Dream -14th March, 1993

When you're in the silence.

When you're in the silence. When there is noone to judge.
No thoughts to fear. Noone to fight, in that second you are God.

Again when I say you are God, again it's a misnomer.
You can never be God, what you are right now. 
Because when I say you, you're thinking of the self,
this little self, your small self,
and when I say, "You are God!" 

You are believing you are God as a person.
This is impossible. No human being can ever be God.
But the you which is the absolute reality,
which is Brahman, which is sat-chit-ananda is God! 

So you have to get your body out of the way, so-to-speak.
You have to get yourself out of the way and allow God
to shine through as the Self, as nirvana, as sat-chit-ananda.
Think of yourself this way.

When you say, "I am the body," realize you made a mistake.
When you say, "The body is going through karma,"
realize you made a mistake. 

When you say, "The body suffers," realize you made a mistake.
When you say, "The body does its own thing,
separate from the Self," realize you made a mistake. 

There is nothing separate from the Self.
The Self alone is. The Self is Brahman, period! end!
There is nothing else. 

There is not a body that becomes Brahman,
from practicing spiritual disciplines for years and years and
years there will never be a body that becomes Brahman.
Therefore do not dwell on the body at all.

Always think of yourself as the Self,
as consciousness, as pure awareness.

When your mind wants to think of the body or someone else's body,
immediately put a stop to this by simply knowing there is no body. 

There is nobody to experience anything.
How happy you will feel when you can just understand this. 

You will feel such happiness, such joy, such bliss.
Just by understanding what I'm talking about.
For as soon as you take the mind off the body,
the mind becomes weak and starts to disintegrate. 

But if you keep your mind on the body or somebody else's body,
the body of the world, the body of the universe, it's all the body,
the same body — remember there is no difference between
your body and the universal body. It's all the same body. 

Because you think you are a body you think the universe is a body.
But there is no universe and there is no body,
it's all an hallucination.

This realization really brings you happiness,
total happiness, total bliss, total joy.

Just to understand and know this, know it with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your being,
that you were never a body and you will never be a body.

From an overall understanding of the nature of consciousness, it can be seen that justice (karma) is automatic as a consequence of the interaction of the vibration of the soul within the overall infinite field of consciousness. 

The science of truth and consciousness calibration research confirm the scriptural passage, “Every hair on one’s head is counted” (numbered). 

All is known by the infinite field of Divinity by which justice therefore automatically prevails. 

Mankind’s fantasies are projections from the unconscious of an anthropomorphic god who is vengeful, jealous, wrathful, and the alleged ‘cause’ of disasters.

 However, it is obvious that natural disasters of greater proportion than have happened during the history of mankind occurred before man even existed and are, in fact, presumed to have been the condition that brought about the termination of the age of the dinosaur.

To summarize, as is commonly known, karma (spiritual fate) is the consequence of decisions of the will and determines spiritual destiny after physical death (the celestial levels, hells, purgatory, or the so-called inner astral planes [bardos]). 

Included also is the option of reincarnation in the human physical domain, which, by consciousness calibration research, can only be done by agreement with the individual will. 

Thus, all humans have, by agreement, chosen this pathway. 

In addition, consciousness research confirms that all persons are born under the most optimal conditions for spiritual evolution, no matter what the appearance seems to be.

Karma really means accountability, and, as cited in previous spiritual research, every entity is answerable to the universe.

 It is also well known that positive karma (good works, prayer, selfless service, benevolent acts, etc.) can compensate for and undo negative (‘bad’) karma.

 In this process, ‘merit’ accrues, which at times can even be drawn against in confronting vicissitudes. 

►Spiritual progress ensues automatically from choosing good will, forgiveness, and lovingness as a way of being in the world at large rather than viewing it as a gain-seeking transaction.◄

Working through one’s ‘karma’ includes not only this lifetime but historical, long-forgotten evolutionary aspects as well. 

Spiritual work may bring up repressed attitudes, thoughts, or beliefs from the personal unconscious, as well as aspects of the collective human unconscious that are energetically aligned analogously to the chakra system of the Jungian archetypes (e.g., the heart of the child, the spleen of the warrior, the naiveté of the adolescent, etc.).

Due to the nature of human development, even a mature, intelligent, fully-grown adult still has repressed or forgotten, but still functional, infantile and childish drives that operate out of awareness.

One of the most common is the out-of- awareness balance between the ‘good me’ and the ‘bad me.’ (This is the area of the split and compartmentalized Jekyll-and-Hyde personality disorders.)

The good/bad dichotomy may be the source of multiple psychological difficulties, of which projecting the ‘bad me’ onto others is the most common.

Feel the Reality

As you breathe and you inhale, feel as if you're sucking in
the whole world, the whole universe,
and as you exhale, you're letting it out again. 

This exercise makes you feel that the whole universe
comes from you, goes out and comes back. 

Like when you're sleeping.
In deep sleep the universe is not here, the world is not here,
your body is not here. 

As you awaken, everything is here. 

Do this with your breathing.
You inhale, there's absolutely nothing. 

The universe has gone back into yourself. 

You exhale, and the universe is out there again, external to you.

There is only the one Self, and you are that.
You have no body.
You have no mind.
You are like boundless space.

The old you is beginning to disappear.
The old you is thousands of words, millions of thoughts,
reacting to everything that comes along. 

This you no longer exists. You are fresh and new.
There is no longer any karma that can hurt you or
do anything to you,
no longer any samskaras that you have to experience. 

You have already crossed the ocean of samsara, and
you are already the Bodhisattva. 

There's nothing you have to earn.
There's nothing you have to pray for.
There's no one you have to see.
There's absolutely nothing you have to do. 

You are already free.
You are beyond freedom, beyond liberation,
beyond delusion, beyond ignorance.

You are neither wisdom nor ignorance.
There are no words for you whatsoever. 

There's no description of what you are.
There's no one to say.

You are that pure awareness that has always been and
will always be. 

There is absolutely nothing you have to do to earn it,
for you are awake from the dream.

Feel this freedom you've never felt before.
Feel the joy, the happiness, the love that you have become.
Feel the reality.

Highest Teaching= Silence

There are certain principles we should always remember,
if we wish to be happy all the time.

The first one is, the highest teaching in the world is silence,
to be still. There is no higher teaching than this.

Silence is Brahman. Silence is grace. Silence is absolute reality.

I'm speaking of real silence, not just keeping quiet for a while. 

Real silence is when you go deep within and
you become totally oblivious to your surroundings.

The silence is another way of saying to keep your mind
stayed on God all the time.

God is the silence and you are that.
Feel the silence right now. You can feel it.
It's a thing of beauty.

You know when you're getting into the true silence,
you begin to become happier, and happier and happier
for no reason.

It makes no difference what's going on in the world.
The world is in one place and you're in another place.

In the deep silence you are identifying with the substratum
of creation. Always remember to go into the silence.

A Sage is always in the silence.

A Sage may be talking, listening, partaking of activities,
but to the Sage there's only silence.
