The Seeker of Truth and the New Age of Aquarius ...

Hello dear friend welcome! May these lines below help you awaken from whatever dormancy you find yourself in, that is, if you can get to the end of this long text eheheh! Remember that you have the best intentions, and that illusion is highly convincing, so don’t feel unease with the following exposure, use it to expand your mind, to release yourself from your illusions! Awaken to who you truly are! If you find yourself still somehow under the illusion of control over the life that you recognize, and from that point of recognition, you try to create an experience that you don’t have to experience your fears, where seeking  security the most importante, and note that this concept of security is much broader than you think, know that you are still deluded... uses these lines as best as possible, they are here to help you. Enjoy!

True Seeker of Truth recognizes himself within the dream, but doesn’t participate in the same, even if he recognizes as his body/mind to be engaged in the dream, it can’t be different, because these (body and mind) belong, or are the dream, however his attention is on the observer of the dream and not on the dream itself. The true seeker is rare and timeless, which means it is outside the time domain, which does not belong to a specific time, which is not distracted by appearances / circumstances because it is totally taken by the desire / need to awake! The true Seeker of Truth, is no longer interested in the dream nor in the characteristics of the dream, only in awakening!

Observing the dream ...

Life as you observe it, and from where you observe it, is just a dream that seems real, where the real seems to be just a dream, and then you can even try to find out what is the reality, but that perception is on the dream scope, which has nothing to do with the Real. Knowing what is Real is to know who is truly the dreamer , and has nothing to do with the molds of the dream, or has nothing to do with who the individual (body / mind / personality) within the scenario (recognized as the world / where personality finds itself), it is not an intellectual exercise of fantastic criation, but has to do with the recognition / realization of the observer: that which observes the body / mind / complex, and the scenario where this is, but is beyond.
In that dream where you find yourself, apparently there are many other seekers: welfare seekers, seekers of comfort, seekers of peace, seekers of love, seekers of power, seekers of happiness, joy-seekers, seekers of the Fantastic (I will refer to this group only has welfare seekers), and rare, very few seekers of Truth! The many called welfare seekers, seek happiness in the dream as if it were real, the few have realized that it is only a dream, and seek rather to awake, but not to awake to another dream, but to awake to Reality, to whom they really are ...

In this large group of welfare seekers, we can divide into two major groups: the so-called "Material World" and the "Spiritual World". The Material World are those who claim to be a rational animal, note that this can and should be questioned, but the part of the animal can’t be questioned, let’s observe: animal life boils down to security, namely: food, shelter / comfort / pleasure, protection against adversity / weatherproof, acceptance of group / herd, breeding / continuation of the species. Nothing different about these welfare seekers of the material world. For these reigns chance, luck and misfortune without considering the divine element in the equation ... Those from the Spiritual World are equal to those of the material world, they have just put in the equation of welfare the divine element ... imagining that is was what failed in the previous equation ... but, on these seekers it is worth a separate chapter.


Well now the seeker is spiritualized, he believes in God, or in many Gods, he has a life dedicated to God, or, and  dedicated to spirituality, in a spiritual scenario, immersed in the study of the universe, of the recognized worlds trying to understand the origin andpurpose of existence as a whole and his role in the middle of it all, trying to transform with his spiritual practices that which he recognizes has his faults and virtues, in his vision becoming day after day deserver of a meaningful life. He actually has the best intentions, he is just as eluded as he was previously ... and from here to arrive to the rational part still takes a while. Consider: this universe, much broader, life is no longer seen as something random, there is a greater purpose to all this that is recognized, there are laws governing all existence. There is gradually access to these same laws: yet all this occupies a small part of his attention, and much of his attention is still on security (food, shelter / comfort / pleasure, protection against adversity / weather, group acceptance / herd, breeding / continuation of the species, just in different scenarios, more spiritual scenarios, or occupies most of his attention, and the most important is still secondary, even if it doesn’t appear to be. He knows that what has to happen happens, and yet remains concerned if tomorrow he will have something to eat, where to take shelter, and someone to share it ...


In this dream that seems real, there are major cycles and small cycles in which potentiate different experiences, with different characteristics, with the same opportunities to the same story to the same "timeless seeker." We have small cycles, like night and day, abundance scarcity, happiness suffering, death birth, and great cycles as changes of ages, affecting all cycles that are recognized in the dream, in which the characteristics of human life and experience suffer changes very big, you can even call drastic changes for those who consider the world with the predominant features at this time as the sole and defining what is normal / real.


And so they say we have another New Age, The Age of Aquarius so called Golden Age, with new values, new flavors, but the same "timeless seeker" ... New values yes, here begins the new story, where the design of human life / human existence, completely change paradigms, and thus we see a transition from the welfare seekers above from the material world, for the spiritual world, which are the new values, still an adaptation of illusion to new scenarios and fields of experience, a transition of values, but the same illusion.

The migration from one group to the other is not easy, and perhaps many individuals will perish in the process, as the values that governed their lives lost their meaning, and fail to find satisfaction and purpose on the "things" which they found previously, and the crisis begins, the holy crisis that leads them to break, or to fall with the old values. The old values gradually or abruptly disappear has and the new values take shape. A new man, a new earth, the same story ...


Tomorrow welfare seekers of the material world will be an extinct species! Those who today are seen as welfare seekers of the spiritual world, will be seen again as welfare seekers of the material world, because the concepts / molds of the spiritual world will be different than now, as have been previously ... If few today are aware other "realities" (within the dream, of course ...) more subtle, and most only recognize as real, that which falls within the sensory experience of physical perception, tomorrow there will be more aware of these subtle realities and tomorrow it will be normal, as it is normal today only the physical reality. For individuals today who make the transition, there will be a rapture until it becomes normal, for those who have come into the new features it will be normal ... As it is today ... The alternative ones of today, will be the normal of tomorrow, this will last a certain "time," and then the new alternative reappear, in the next change ... The business people of yesterday are the holistic therapists of today, and will be the business people of tomorrow. Inside the new spectrum of consciousness, the spiritual world said today, will be the material world of tomorrow, and tomorrow will emerge a new spiritual world with its new molds with the same welfare seekers, disillusioned with their material world in search new solutions to the same problems, insisting on the same illusion! Everything changes and nothing changes! In these transitions there are inevitable phenomena, many seekers of welfare that were close to became seekers of Truth, get distracted with these new concepts with these new insights, dazzled by the new opportunities in the horizon, and dive back into illusion, where they really have never left.


The true spiritual world of tomorrow, will be equal to the true spiritual world today, which is equal to the true spiritual world of yesterday, and the Truth that you are here and now has nothing to do with any of this!


The true seeker of Truth, is engaged in his awakening, he has understood what is the use of that which he observes and used to call life, and knows that it’s good for nothing, or everything depending on the point from where he sees. He knows nothing that he observes is real, and knows that which is observed has no self-worth, besides from that which he mistakenly attributes, and it just happens because he doesn’t knows who he is, and cannot go beyond this ... He uses what he observes in two ways: first, he uses what he observes to be free from delusion, and know that hes fears are the "anchors" that keep him "stuck", and each time he discovers a fear (deep belief ), he doesn’t rest until he is free from it. Moreover, he knows that the illusion gives by feedback resonance of the Real, of himself. For the world to be seen there is a relationship of subject vs. object, and each time his attention goes to the object (the world), he brings it back to the observer, to himself, aware that this self, or his observation point, this self is beyond the body / mind, because just as he observes the sun, and the sun and him are two different things, he also observes what he considers to be his body, then he is not the body, it also observes what he considers to be his emotions, so he is not emotion, and he also observes what he considers to be his thoughts, then he is not thoughts, the same mistaken relationship with everything observed, he says my soul, and he is different of the soul, also say my God ... He knows he is "there", just cannot define what there is, and knowing that a definition is not achieving, he dives in this emptiness of his existence. From that which before he called life, he knows that everything conspires to his awakening, and knows that he will constantly be called to get rid of his fears, his beliefs, and if he experiences much suffering, he doesn’t gives up, and stands firm doing nothing in order to escape from that which is causing fear, and stays longer in that emptiness of his own presence until that from which he formerly recognized has emptiness comes the recognition of His own fullness of his own splendor, the dilution of the individuality misconception in Wholeness! To "get this far" he had emptied himself of all that he carried all the way ... Before he used his keen intellect to develop fantastic theories about the self-realization, he used his refined intellect to devise fantastic theories about the existence as a whole, and of spiritual evolution, he now uses his refined intellect to what he really serves, which is to abstract by the power of reason from that which appears to be real, the impressions that arise in what he considers to be his intimate space of perception, feelings, emotions and thoughts, which indeed are the "roots" of this so called world that he observes and perceive has real. He found true humility, he knows he knows nothing, and does not insist on daydreaming, and remains silent. Before he joined groups of others who knew nothing, and tried to discuss to arrive at some consensus about truth. Now knowing that he knows nothing, and that others know nothing, he realizes the futility of this exercise, and returns to silence.


Abstracting himself from all his supposed spiritual knowledge and all its complex theories, enables him to see certain phenomena at a simpler light, and this brings him some understanding ... He realizes that he is always “there”, wherever the body may appear to be, his notion is that he is always “there”. He also realizes that whatever he is experiencing has always a sense of real, either in what he calls reality, whether in what he calls a dream, when he experiences what he calls a dream, it is real, he only calls it a dream when he thinks he has woken up, but when he is dreaming that dream is has real, has it is what he calls reality, and he is always real in the way that he recognizes himself ... But only when he is stripped of his elaborate theories, he has the possibility to have this perception, and for that to be liberating ... Until then he can’t even understand when reading somewhere like now, like here for example ...


These changes of ages are an opportunity for those who make the transition because from one age to the other there is a space of emptiness, a void space, and opportunity to recognize that which was previously isn’t real, with that comes the realization that what comes after is of the same nature, he will still be "forced" to go through the transition, and he will have to deal with many, if not all his fears, even of death, from here opportunity will be born. The aspiring seeker of truth, seeks peace by avoiding conflict, the real seeker of truth no longer fears conflict, he embraces his own conflicts because he knows that to break with its illusion, conflict is inevitable. And in these changes of eras, these conflicts come and go with overwhelming force, and instead of fighting it, he embraces it, he really asks for it. He no longer seeks peace, he knows peace is the natural result of exhausting conflict. Each time it is exposed to a fear he doesn’t rest until he is free from it, and eagerly awaits the next ... Each time remaining longer in the silence of his own existence / presence, removing the importance of all the impressions that arise in him, gradually breaking up all misconceptions, whether more smoothly, whether more violently. In terms of personality we can talk about the removing of importance from the impressions that arise: for example, the need to belong, the need for security, so if he's afraid of being lonely, rather than making efforts to have company, his efforts are to seek that state of loneliness or better yet of solitude, to experience its power, and then, once "life" "threatens" him with that, he embraces that state, lives the conflicts the fears associated with being alone and remains in them until they lose their importance, and the apparent power over him.


To make the transition to the so-called New Age, those seekers will have to experience what was procrastinated until now, the circumstances where they will find themselves will provide that in an intense and compelling way, either they make the transition or "perish" with the old era .. . There's no way the old man will enter the New Age, he will have to become a new man, and he must pass through the fire ... For those who think they are ready, and say: "In this age of Aquarius, there are no masters", and then: "Now we are all Masters ',' We'll do the ascension by ourselves" and so on ... here is some advice: observe if there isn’t a little of leo in that…If you are waiting for a magic step, then  you can continue to wait... Watch out also for the naive notions of "Now it is no longer an isolated movement, but of all mankind together", perfect for those who suffer from the chronic syndrome of individuality, and display symptoms such as the need to belong, to be accepted. .. Find out first who you are and then you will know who the other are ... The words have the meanings assigned to them, it might be good to reflect on the meaning which are being assigned to them. Perhaps what all this may mean is that now there is more time to delay, but to awaken the Seeker of Truth in you, and use the knowledge of those who have awakened to awaken yourself too, instead of using that same knowledge to have a more comfortable sleep. Maybe it is time to instead of coveting the gold of the master, asking him how you could achieve with your own effort, and really work for your own gold, you may not know, but there’s really no otherway. Maybe it's time to assume responsibility for yourself, instead of continuing to look at the landscape. Maybe it's time to deflate the chest, lower your head to the mystery of your own existence. Remember the periods of upheaval are the most important to the Seeker of Truth, and cyclically are experienced during what you call life; cyclically also have these larger cycles that bring periods of intense upheaval, great opportunities for liberation. Don’t miss the opportunity, don’t get distracted with the landscape now, nor with future landscapes, awaken the Seeker of Truth in you and free yourself from all your illusion, here and now! It is no time to negotiate, it isn’t time to procrastinate! Awake this from that numbness!


The true spiritual seeker, this rare and precious specimen, sees no difference between an Iron Age or Golden Age, for him to be imprisoned in an iron cage or in a golden cage is the same thing, prison is prison. He does not wait for tomorrow. Yet this specimen is really rare, precious and timeless. Would-be seekers of truth, the welfare seekers, in these changes of eras will not have more time to delay, and must inevitably pass through the fire now because it is not time to negotiate! Instead of living with promises of crumbs, because that's what you get in terms of joy, why not go straight to the source? Those who don’t deal with the conflict they consider to be inside, they will have to deal with a much more intense in what they consider to be outside!


All of this about a dream, eheheheh .... So many lines about just a dream, that which does not even exist, and it was well summarized, but in reality there is nothing to say! Remain in silence, dilute yourself in silence ... Only You exist, You Are Totality!


Blissfully,
Satyavan

Who am I? The Most Sublime Quest!

Who am I? This is the point to where, from where everything converges. The importance of what is observed, derives directly from that which observes (the observer), there is no observation / recognition without that which observes. Understand?

The confusion of the observer with that which is observed, is automatic / mechanical, like all the rest that is observed ... Whatever you to observe it isn’t you, at least not the way you imagine ... all that is observed is not the observer! Understand?

It is simple to see in its grosser aspects, such as when you observe a tree, you hardly confuse yourself with it, you can and still do establish the same relations with the tree, and also say my tree, if by chance it is on what you think as your land. In its apparently less grosser aspects, and I say apparently because it is the same thing, you also say my body, my emotions, my mind, my soul, my God ... this is what you know has suffering… the same relationships with what is observed, with no real notion of the pristine observer, or with some wrong notion, or with a correct notion, still just a notion... Understand?

And every time you are here! You are! Waiting for you / you are, waiting for yourself, for that exalted recognition ... all that which is observed, only serves the recognition of your true Self. Understand?

No matter how long it appears to last, like all other impressions is not real! All the impressions that arise there, in ‘that place of perception’, whether physical, emotional or mental perception, they are not real, they just arise, an automatically / mechanically / convincing, they just arise, they aren’t yours, not the way you imagine, and only serves this moment, the recognition of That which observes. Understand?

The observer is silence is bliss! His actually You! When the importance of that which never  really had (what is observed) is removed, you will realize the obvious, your own splendor, pure and free identity, nothing to do with an intellectual concept, but the Final Realization Real Being, The truth in you. Know your own illusion, free yourself, and be free, be freedom! Understand?

Now Realize! Free yourself of your concepts, of your illusion and dissolve in your own silence! Need any Help? Satsanga - Conversations with Satyavan! I'm always here for those who are in need!
Blissfully,
Satyavan

Few qualify for The Real Happiness! The vast majority chooses to stay in pain!

Few qualify for The Real Happiness! The vast majority chooses to stay in pain!

It seems a strong statement but it is very real within the fiction of course! One of the things that makes many people angry is the suffering of "the world"! Why is there suffering in the world, if there were a God, He would end the suffering! I will not make considerations on Divine matters, just remember that all the "saint’s" recognized by the world as such, without exception, were mistreated, dismissed, ridiculed, even killed, for this world, who preferred suffering, or preferred to keep the  world has it is, to make any change! This collective story, of course speaks of the individual story, your story!

Illusion is Suffering! The realization of your Real Self is Pure Joy is Fullness, Wholeness!

What is suffering anyway? There are many conceptions about suffering, but they can be summarized quite simply has lack of common sense. Yes, lack of common sense! Let's see: you have no idea who you truly are, you are convinced that what you experience and that from where you experience is real, then, of course other issues arise, though useless, but inevitable in this context, and also these unanswered, as could they be. .. : Where did I came from, where will I go, and what am I doing here?? Nothing, you know nothing about this, you may have a lot of ideas that sound good, but you don’t know anything about this, and yet all your efforts are directed towards making the world how you think it should be ! Fantastic. You don’t know what happiness is, however a lot of undertakings, expectations towards it, and obviously it only brings frustration, like  squeezing tangerines to take drink mango juice.

The results, the pain you experience has to do with what you believe, with your beliefs, and to some extent, is the result of your search. It’s not the strategy that is wrong, that is unsophisticated, nor is it punishment, it’s the natural result of your endeavors, of your beliefs. And what you consider a monstrous conspiracy on the part of the universe, against you, is an act of infinite love. For always, like now, this "universe" invites you to drop those beliefs, showing that this is your suffering, but you insist ... at some point in your life you have placed your hand on fire, and this experience was so intense that never again you put your hand in the fire, is a matter of common sense not to put your hand on fire. All the suffering you experience serves the same purpose, to deliver you from all of these beliefs, and take you to question seriously what you recognize from that point of perception, to be your own existence. And don’t believe when some one says it is a transcendental matter, and that can’t be answer, and blah, blah, blah, from tha same place that questions arise also arise the answers!

Whenever there is a change, you suffer for fear of losing, of losing what? For fear of losing your suffering! I know you believe you're afraid of suffering, and what you had gave you some assurance, even if it was too bad, in fact, security is another word for suffering, but deep down you fear losing your suffering, because that is what you seek for now, it's what you think you deserve, even if it seems the opposite. The tree is recognized by its fruit, and don’t agree with me, investigate!

Now I'll tell you ahead of, the world that you recognize is not real, and you're also not what you imagine to be! What are you going to do with it? Nothing! Eheheheh .... even if you trust me which is not the case ... even trusting me, you would remain there, continuing with the same efforts, because that compulsion for suffering is greater than all. Only when this reaches the necessary intensity you will realize the obvious.

So? Is ’t enough or not?
Have you the courage to question the obvious and give up suffering?
You have the courage to qualify you to True Happiness, abandoning the illusion?
That's why someone said that is a narrow path ...
I invite you to let go ...

Blissfully,
Satyavan

The Dream and the Dreamer

The Dream and the Dreamer
WARNING TO THE READER: This text brings nothing mystical, no hidden knowledge of the immanent or transcendent worlds, it may even be quite boring. Not recommended for sensitive readers: with defined realities, crystallized opinions, with risks ranging from drowsiness, hysteria, to severe intellectual convulsions!

The Dream and the Dreamer

Look around you! After you hear this it is inevitable that as you look 360 degrees around, to all that apparently surrounds that body to which, and from it, you call your own, but is it really just that? After these two lines, certainly since you began reading, that some opinions, conclusions came in to your mind, your opinions your conclusions, or you became confused about the purpose of this conversation, or question why certain crazy people send you crazy texts, as if they had nothing better to do, and above all, you think it is normal that it happens so, not the fact that you receive crazy texts, but that you are always thinking. "There are basic things" there! Unquestioned "Things", like who you are, how you see yourself, how you see the world, and from there, from that place of refuge, say your point of departure / return, from that point of certainty, all apparently unfolds. By now you may  disagree, or agree, whatever the mechanism is, its the same, and you still don’t even understand, even if you think that you understand, it is really so, and it is normal, even if it does not seem ... and it even seems that Iam playing with words, but it for real! We are seriously playing with words!
A dream within a dream within a dream within a dream ...
Look around you! This time more carefully, with another focus, and see now, with help of course, that this body is only peripheral, but forget about peripheral, let's say you observe only a little bit more "internally" and I use that word, aware of the confusion that it carries, but it is the only way you can understand, because the reference _you _ is the body, even it doesn’t seems that way, then "internally" according to the body, it sounds confusing, but it is clear, much clearer than the understanding that you carry , is just conditioning, which makes the clear seem confusing, and confusing seems clear, oddly enough, you have not yet learned to think ... from that more "internal" point you will have much more rich and interesting observations, even if they don’t really serve for nothing, just as before you watch 360 degrees around the body, now you observe in other parameters, or else I'm talking all by myself____________________ but forget about that, we will assume that you are still here, because you're always here, but you're here, and trying  your level best to understand where this is all going ... and observe that there is a world out there, but even though the observation is rough because it is noisy, the mind observes, there are thoughts, you're thinking (or at least that’s the way you understand it) about what you see, and "you see" sensations that arise, you see as your attention is being taken in this direction, and beyond the sensations, emotions also you can you see, and now that it seems that we have reached the top of the question, we must continue to observe thoughts, yes, can you observe the thoughts, and after careful observation, you will see that thoughts emerge just as the physical sensations, and emotions... How strange, well it wasn’t before, until now it was quite normal, but its implications have never been understood, and possibly they are not being yet (read again) ... you have a strange habit of thinking that everything is yours _you ¬ even if you don’t think you do… but you say, my feelings, my emotions, my thoughts .... My whose? Since you started reading these lines, assuming that you have come this far, a lot of opinions, conclusions, confusions emerged there, just emerged, as they always emerge, and I must admit that I delighting in the vastness of what has emerged, however nothing is yours, at least not in the way you believe them to be, is only mechanical, not the way you think it is ... everything just emerges there, nothing more ...

Whether you occupy with that part of the world that apparently surrounds that body to which you call yours, whether you occupy with that more "internal" world it is the same... Whether you have a vast spiritual knowledge, (this sentence alone is already scary ehehehe), or are unfamiliar altogether, it is the same, I must tell you frankly that is the same thing, it’s only peripheral, only emerges and has no value, not even one bit! Yes I know the world, others, knowledge, science, religion, spirituality, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah ... PERIPHERAL! My body, my emotions, my thoughts, my soul, my God! Whose body, emotions, god…? Whose claiming that ownership of the body, of emotions, of those thoughts, of that soul, of that God, and whatever more there ... well then you must be different from all this, you must be "beyond", you mustn’t be anything like that, then what's left, and left in relation to what, and from what!

You know that image of propaganda about the evils of watching TV, someone sitting in front of the TV set, his eyes bulging, glazed on the device, as if he’s under hypnosis, or even really hypnotized, filling up his mouth with popcorns, with a string of drool dripping from the corner of the mouth, which lives and thinks according to what the TV tells him about how to live and think, although he thinks that it is his opinions and not those of the Tv .. well the same applies to this external / internal world with all its peculiarities. It is so intense that it seems to actually exist (whatever that may mean)! Whether you're in the material world or the spiritual world, the same hypnosis, either dealing with common things, or things of the occult, the same hypnosis the same drool ... the same conviction ... the same illusion! And thoughts / opinions / conclusions continued to emerge there and you still think they are your / you ...

So!!?? It seems that is enough for this time don’t you think?? Now I was Supposed to summarize what was exposed, conclude nicelly, and put a bow on top, but I think this time I'll leave like this ... I'll leave that part for you! Without introduction and without conclusion, and so it is with the apparent existence!

Blissfully,
Satyavan

The mind seeks knowledge, the heart seeks the Truth!

The mind seeks knowledge, the heart seeks the Truth!

After several questions about what is a retreat, "which is included in the package", "what activities we offer," " can we use pool", "why all this silence," "Where is everybody", "What will I do with the rest of the time, "and many other questions, we realized that the questions were so naïve, that there was a big lack of understanding about what is a retreat and what is the proposal, so there was a  need to bring a little more clarification on what is a retreat ... Sometimes the result of trying to clarify, just creates more confusion depending on the listener, so if this text makes sense to you, great, otherwise forget about it!

Spiritual Retreat VS Spiritual tour
These are only two classifications, and they will only receive the value assigned to them, they are not generalized terms, and only serve the purpose of expressing two different ideas, and is not intended in any way to hurt any susceptibilities.

(Briefly)
The spiritual quest normally and "apparently" is born of a restlessness that comes from within with an intensity that can’t be ignored, from a maturity that begins to emerge as a result of the experiences that were gathered on the "way" in which the fruits do not correspond to expectations are tasteless, or even more they simply makes more empty. The understanding of life proved to be empty of meaning, there are no answers, and there is no way to ignore the questions. It will take you long before you realize yourself as the source, the creator and experiencer of all that and then start seeking for transformation, I emphasize that by no means you will be more enlightened than you were before, just less dispersed, and thus the "opportunity", can be born.

Everything you're experiencing is the "fruit" or is the beliefs you carry, or for which you define yourself, the world, with your purposes, etc ... These beliefs do not create, they are your suffering, and peace, happiness, truth is the fruit of the liberation of all of this ...it couldn’t be simpler, but implies that you surrender what you think you know about yourself, to something greater in you. The first great freedom comes when we simply acknowledge in Serenity that you know nothing, that the world as you conceive is based on a lot of concepts that have never been questioned. You have recognized yourself there in the middle of that experience, you were given a lot of theories about the world and its purpose, its values, what is happiness, and so much more, you've been piling it all up to look like something concrete, solid, safe. This apparent security prevents you from questioning the background, and when questions are made more concrete, instead of saying I do not know, you answer "is complex", "is transcendental," "this is the truth," "they are all there" ... and when you start to realize that it may not be that way, all that seems to have a  life of its own, and it is very difficult to be free, it will require going beyond the security zone, and the biggest obstacle will be your beliefs, fears, these same things they create, are suffering / security.

The heart asks for silence, surrender, peace, quiet, contemplation, serenity, truth. The mind seeks knowledge / control, novelty, excitement, pleasure. Following the wishes of the mind that thinks it knows, gives what you already know. The path of the heart in the beginning will not please the mind, it will be very uncomfortable even, but that's where Joy will come to the fullness ... if you do not know the joy or the Plenitude, it means you haven’t gone thru these steps, your mind is still deluded, stuck in the fears, in your beliefs, in your own illusion. And that is fantastic, the game is still in the middle, and the adventure promises intense moments of glory! Because it is just a big play, with all the ingredients, adventure, pleasure, emotion, story, but it's just a play, the truth is free from all that, never had anything to do with it, and are Truly You!

Some ways to identify your own motives on you seeking:

In retreat, the purpose is silence, stillness, as in a spiritual tour, the purpose is entertainment. In retreat, the you seek getting maximum isolation to realize yourself in the midst of your own confusion, as in a spiritual tour, you are seeking attention, socialization, relationships, acceptance. In a retreat the purpose is silence, as in a spiritual tour, the purpose is to show your knowledge. In a spiritual retreat activities are reduced to a minimum, and these activities serve the purpose of promoting stillness, and when reached, you stay there, diluting your own beliefs in that greater silence, becoming permeable to That Truth, in a spiritual tour, time is well filled with activities from which there are free moments, and if by accident any quietness is reached, it is immediately disturbed by the next activity. In a retreat you seeks to uplift you mind; in a spiritual tour you seek pleasure. In a spiritual retreat you seek the knowledge of Self, that which springs from stillness in stillness, as in a spiritual tour, you seek knowledge of the "non-self", the personality, complexes of inferiority seek to be masked with ideas of superiority, power, you try to escape sadness, through momentary vanity strokes. In a retreat Truth is the only priority, and the physical structure, emotional and mental delegated to the background, whereas in a spiritual tour, the physical, emotional and mental structures are in first place, and it is here that we are seeking satisfaction. Seeking a spiritual retreat is to return to simplicity, has in a spiritual tour you seek comfort, refinement, mysticism, rituals, etc… In a spiritual retreat you seek the Truth, in a spiritual tour, we will seek new strategies, ways to get what you imagine that will bring you happiness.
To attend a spiritual retreat there is n no need to have any prior knowledge, just to be a seeker of Truth. To participate in a spiritual tour, depending on the motivation, it is good to have a prior knowledge, a good spiritual pedigree is always good, one or more initiations in some ancient lineage, and either a good spiritual curriculum, with courses, lectures, workshops made with famous people (preferably), will certainly cause a good impact, after all the first impression is the most important, is it not?! ... (just kidding) ... or not ... With so many spiritual activities to do in such a short space of time, soon we will have a "New Age Syndrome", " spiritual stress," and then a new industry will rise, with new therapists, new therapies, new books, new courses, everything is possible, provided there is imagination.

The fruits of spiritual tours are apparently great, but disappear over time, they can bring relaxation, but will not bring peace, only perpetuate the illusion. Now the fruits of a spiritual retreat, those I invite you to discover. Transparency is important, because if you are searching only a spiritual tour, do not enter into a spiritual retreat will be at least painful. If you are searching for has a spiritual retreat, don’t enter a tour, it will also be painful. If you have already participated in some spiritual tours and feel like doing a retreat, have in mind the proposal and prepare for it, it is surely something like you never done before, this may even become in your life, the "opportunity". Your motivation makes all the difference. According to what you seek, thereby you will find. Are you seeking knowledge, or Truth?

Here at Ashram Yoga Divine Center is a "place of Spiritual Retreat," and you will find what you need if That is really your purpose.

So then, have you done or have you the desire to make a spiritual retreat?

In Serenity,
Satyavan

Ooooohhhh!!! So busy that you are ... So full of concerns ...

Ooooohhhh!!! So busy that you are ... So full of concerns ...
So much hurry, life is a hurry. So much work, so many responsibilities, so many people who depend on you, so much dedication, so many plans, so much suffering, and no one recognizes your effort ... How hard it is! Always so busy, so stressed ... You can’t even see the day passing, when you realize, it's night again! There’s so many demands from all sides, and no one gives, all of them just ask! But that's life, if we want something, we must work hard for it! We must strive to realize our dreams, nothing happens without effort. If I don’t work, who pays the bills? How will you feed those dependent on you? Where will they live? One day, if you are very hardworking, if you're smart, if you win the lottery, or a combination of all that, maybe one day, just maybe everything will be as you wish it would be! At that time, you will certainly have all the recognition you seek, then, for sure you'll feel good about yourself, surely you will not have more fears, you have everything you want, after all, is even said in spirituality that you can have whatever you want, just use the power of your mind ... For you that possibly didn’t know, yes it's true, they say , if you develop the power of mind, you can make of your life what you want, you can materialize your dreams, you can succeed, have much money, you can become very well, even have your own business, and a very successful one. So perhaps it is better, to initiate the practice of meditation, or if you have already a practice, you can join in the wish list, besides the relaxation of course, also the success and fortune, why not ... you can’t be poor to ask ... After all, who asks little, receives little!

Ehehehehe ... So much nonsense ...

Deconstructing all the nonsense…
I have some news to give you, sorry but someone has to do it... Before you "arrived" , by the way the world was already here at least that’s what historians say. That’s what they say because I don’t know anything about that, it seems that there are scientifically validated evidence that the planet has existed for about 4.5 billion years, compared to what you know of your existence, it seems to me that it has no expression, and seems everything was happening in the same way. I know it's amazing, it's hard to believe, but everything worked without you! I'm sorry to be the bearer of such news, but that's what the evidence suggests. And worse, if it  function before you, it is likely to continue to function without you ...

You know friend, so much irony in these words, just so you can for a moment to open a window in your world that oppresses you, and maybe get a glimpse beyond. Aren’t you tired? Didn’t you want to let everything go for a long time now? However you are still there ... like that ...

How and where did it all begin?

Does the world have some significance beyond that which you give it? Does your suffering has its own identity, or is it just the fruit of that which you "decide" to believe? Has your work given you the rewards that it has promised you? And when you envision the perfect scenario, what happens next? What is it really serves? One of the powers that keeps you entertained, is the power of the “entanglement”, like a spider weaves a web ... you stay wrapped in the midst of so much confusion, so much urgency, and don’t understand, you can’t... can you?

We may analyzed in two ways:

1 - If there is death, the end of life as it is known, forever, why then so much effort in building, which you may not really possess; why so much effort to win what will not endure, Why leave a mark on the world, if those who leave their mark will never be here to see. Why be optimistic if you are fated to die?! If there is death, so everything is random, and then why do you strive in the midst of so many improbabilities, if the FINAL is inevitable?

2 - If there is no death, that is, that life continues after death of the body, then why so much effort in building something that you will not have, at the end of the "journey" you leave everything and go to another plan to start again, why so much concern about something that is only transitory, and that only lasts a moment?! If there is no death, and if this is a transitory world, which is then the reality? If you have free will, why not choose to be happy now? If there is no free will, why do you suffer before the inevitable?
So what to do? What for, and why? To be happy! What is happiness, and what does it serves for?

The world you recognize, is not what it seems, but until you have the courage to question seriously, you will remain like that. You can even earn those wanted things, but it will never bring peace, if you don’t believe, look back on what you have already conquered ... you are convinced of many, endless things that binds you to a "reality" that only shows you its nature, just for that recognition, just for you to recognize yourself and Seek what is really important.

Look around you, apparently the sun rises and sets in the horizon, and so it is in this and in other worlds, only an apparent motion, where nothing really happens, and what appears to happen is in a perfect synchrony. After all there is to be understood, is finally understood, then yes, will you be happy? Ehehehe, I don’t know who told you that this happiness, is a state to be reached, but you were deceived ... it isn’t so, there’s nothing you can add that will bring you happiness, but by removing all, then yes, happiness, fulfillment. Don’t waste time, or wast it, its indifferent, everything is fine! But these ideas that the world depends on you, people depend on you, that you can make a difference, it's just a precious idea, which apparently brings you the importance, purpose, but it's nothing like that. When you die those who apparently depended on you, that you loved, or become independent, or find another one to depend on. When you know who you are, you will know who the others are, and who really provides! Until then you will be rocking on the sweet melody of illusion, wrapped in the web of self-importance, plagued with thoughts, feelings, sensations, you believe in and give you a feedback from a world that does not even exist, but that hooks you and suffocate you slowly, with sweet promises of happiness. Free yourself from all your beliefs, and find Peace. The second is the immediate result of the first! What are you trying to do, and why? Who Are You?

Blissfully,
Satyavan

The Need for Belonging - The Symptom of the Individuality Syndrome

The Need for Belonging - The Symptom of the Individuality Syndrome
For Seekers of Truth – Reports of a hallucinating journey.

Well! Many problems are found in this life, and much of that life is spent trying to resolve them, many of them were already here before your "arrival", and will certainly continue after your "departure" ... still other problems, closer, more intimate ones, were also at your "arrival", others weren’t a problem and then slowly became a problem ... others were a problem before and after a time ceased to be! Strange is it not? ... Makes you wonder of the nature of "things" ...

Still, a deep conviction, that these problems are really a problem, and that, there will certainly be a solution! But what is the real understanding of life? Do you know what you are "here" for? Do You know what is "here"? You know where you come from? Where you’re going? Do you know who you are?

How about starting from the basics?! Life has become a confusion, running from one side to the other without knowing where you’re going, searching for something better, without knowing who you are, without knowing what you need, where do you think that you will take you? You have become too sophisticated, too complex, what about start simplifying? ...

Well, at this point your life has already taken many turns, but is probably the same, maybe you have changed colors, tastes, knowledge, language, image, more or less entertained, your still in the same. .. You live in circles only, you shake, you change, you make twists and turns, but always turn to the same, sometimes it takes you longer to have that perception, but sooner or later you turn to the same questions, and you lower your arms for a certain period , and then start off again, once more, another circle ...

Certainly much has changed, you will say ... maybe you have changed your relationship, something that was oppressing you and made no sense; Maybe you changed your job, which you maintained for security, for the check at the end of the month that was used to keep a series of "things" that didn’t serve as much, and still enslaved you in a job that didn’t bring you any joy, it was just something that make you empty, maybe you changed your religion, certainly there was a problem with the other God, and it’s doctrines or even better ... now you are not religious, now you are spiritual, you follow a new philosophy, or better yet, a very old philosophy proven by millennia ... now you eat differently, sleep differently, have regular practices of spirituality, you do charity , you are a rarity ... But take a good look ... have things really change? While you're in the period of change, experiencing so many new things,  you can’t even tell, but when the initial excitement cools down, it all becomes clear. So much you have given away, and ... did it really change anything? There "inside yourself", di it really changed you? Take a good look! Does it make a difference to make so many changes in the cenario, if you are always the same? Do You know who you are?

The question is always the same! Deluded with who you appear to be, you find yourself "here" in the midst of a whirlwind, that you couldn’t understand, the story was going, and you along with it, and is still rolling, and you don’t perceive that this history has its own life, you don’t know who you are and imagine to have some control, options, choices, opportunities ... and everywhere so many material and spiritual promises, that you are craving to buy ... after all it’s just a question of control, and by knowing correctly, surely you will make the best choices, or you will choose what will bring happiness, because that is what determines for you right and wrong: the result, which is analyzed at that time, and according to that "level" of understanding, without any vision of the whole picture ...

Deep down  is a very simple question ... Suffering ... You do everything to avoid suffering! But what is suffering, and where does it comes from? It comes from your beliefs only, nowhere else, only from your beliefs. You think you're a body, an individual who is in the midst of other individuals, you think you need love, you think you need to be happy, and to have this love, this happiness, this joy, you will have to earn it ... this is what you have been told by the world, at least that little part that you know of, and this is what says the GREAT and VAST majority... (Whatever that may mean)

The great sorrow of your life has been rejection, this painful thing that deprives you from the love you imagine that comes from others, and this is a symptom of the true "syndrome" ... Only because of that, all you do is conditioned by the approval or rejection, is always the same quest, so all undertakings, whether physical or spiritual, are never satisfactory, because you will find a great diversity of opinions, and some will always be different from yours, and the ghost of rejection, will always appear ... Whether you’re totally plunged deep in endless material endeavors, or your dividing your time in the material and spiritual goals, or you’re completely devoted to spirituality, and everything happens around it, maybe it's time to stop and evaluate whether this ghost is not still around, if this ghost continues to deceive you? ...

In the spiritual world, if everything Is not all spiritual, or material (depending upon your definitions of spirit and matter), it is the same, the same principle ... Life has taken you on a great journey of change, you have given up so many things, you found great truths, but you can’t realize them ... Maybe you found a new lifestyle, surrounded yourself by more loving beings, who seem to understand you, a new philosophy of life, healthier, and yes, your life has improved! This means, in your understanding, that experience began to be more pleasurable, more peaceful. First there were big dreams, big promises from the potential of this path, and so much evidence that Liberation is possible, but in the middle, and after the initial efforts, and in a very subtle way, something changed. You have distracted yourself! If you have to live from something, why not live for something that makes you feel well, why not passing it to others? How I will be happy to do it, and will bring happiness to others, as I continue my path ... what a fantastic plan, and you continue merrily ... you will teach, you will practice, you will an open a studio, so many dreams and projects, that will drain all your attention ... and over time weaken your practices, or go into mechanical routine, or in pure oblivion. Perhaps you entered a group at weekends, doing some very interesting rituals, or even secret, very serious, and inside of you all remains the same, the same fears ... Possibly you have abandon all matter, taken up an order, maybe you live in a monastery with the spiritual routines in your everyday life, with your practice, but deep down the same fears ... Perhaps you have become a healer, without first healed yourself, perhaps you have become a teacher without actually learned, perhaps you are showing a path that you haven’t actually walked, after all what's wrong with that, if everyone around you are doing the same? There nothing wrong, but your just distracted, distracted from what’s really important to yourself! Convinced that you are real, as you recognize yourself, and so this universe must be real, as it is recognized, submerged in that recognition, you continue helplessly confused, and suffer, you keep on suffering.

All paths, all spiritual philosophies, speak the same thing, that suffering is an illusion that comes from the illusion that the world is an illusion, only when you Realize YourSelf, you will go beyond illusion, and therefore beyond suffering. This in itself should be enough, but it isn’t. And if you're a more serious seeker, one of those who aren’t worried about suffering, and who already have understood the first point, that the world is an illusion, and ask yourself if the world is an illusion what then is Reality ? So this question would be enough to keep you from resting until the answer was found, but it isn’t. You say, that is very nice, but the bills, the family, the responsibilitys, hunger, loneliness, sadness, and suffering, they are all there! I see them! I feel them!

After so long, nothing ... Ask yourself do you really want to break illusion, or is it more important to belong? Are the same ghosts  still there? Do you travel a spiritual path, but continue with the same fears, fear of being alone, fear of not having enough to eat, afraid of not having a place to sleep, fear of not having a companion, fear this and fear of that. Are you really working to free yourself from illusion, or are you working to find safety in illusion? You build and you attach yourself  to what you build, and yet you dream with FREEDOM, and each time it looks more like a dream, and each time it looks a longer journey, and each time the desires and fears multiply, and you keep struggling to reduce them! And as you can not belong, you continue to feel rejected, so you become angry and fight: fight against the system, against the police, against evil, against poverty, distressed by so many struggles, completely oblivious about you, you roam about this universes, age upon age ... just fighting against the ghost of rejection, the pain that oppresses you, without any idea about ??who you really are.

You know, your heart is pure, always was, always will be, however the "things" are not what they seem, you are not what you seem to be. Whatever you've found that gives you security, whatever you think you still need to be safe, it is only an illusion, a distraction ... and see how strong it is! Whether you're in spirituality, matter, or both, the illusion is the same. By accepting the goals, the distance, you accepted without questioning. Perhaps your life has changed a lot, maybe you have found a group with whom you identify, maybe you have a perfect home, but tell me, do you know who you are! Are Realized? Are You Peace? Are you Joy? Are You Fullness? Are you?

How can you ever belong to the world, if the world has ever existed, it has existed only in you? How can you be accepted, if there is no one that you can accept, nor is there whom you can reject, how could it be, if only you exist? But while the focus is on safety and acceptance, there is hardly an understanding of these words. You will need to change focus, and deeply question, question all fears, look at them in the face and conquer all fears, break the illusion of individuality, the "syndrome" that perpetuates the illusory suffering. Perhaps you think now: if suffering is illusory then what's the problem? And you think well, no problem! Just ... for whom is the illusion?

Everything changes and nothing changes, because nothing really happens :)

Hmmm??! ... Sooner or later it will be time to question.

In Serenity,
Satyavan

Time For Silence!

After all analysis and understanding, it's time for introspection, silence and contemplation. Contemplate your being, You Are the One, You are Perfection! The mind must surrender to the Divine Silence in you! Leave all the goals, ideas, forget about others and yourself, remain peacefully in your being ... no questions ... no questions, only serenity ...

Guest, "abandon all goals" ... not wanting anything at all?
"Abandons ideas" .... not thinking anything at all?
"Forget about others and about yourself" ..... "abandon" self-consciousness, and consciousness of others?
"Remain peacefully in your being"? ...... what remains, what is beyond what has already been abandoned?

Satyavan:
very interesting your question :)
Beyond all that was abandon remains REALLY YOU, free, pristine, not what you think you are, but who You REALLY ARE, Being.

To understand, silence is also another name for Being, and it clearly shows ... silence is perpetual, it has property, sounds are perceptible because there is an infinite silence as background, all sound emerges and whether it is short or long, merges back to silence, it may seem that the sound alternates with silence but if you pay attention silence is eternal and will remain the same with sound, is the background that the sound uses to propagate (at least in the world of the senses) ... In fact, this universe is "made" of light and sound (vibration) there is no silence in the universe, there is a frequency, vibration, constant sound in the universe, this frequency is not audible through the physical senses, but can be captured directly by the mind in the mind, when it becomes more subtle (abdicating sounds more dense), and is one of the clues, the clues of reality in illusion, it is the only thing standing there, there are other subtle frequencies, but are not continuous. It is this sound that yogis mean when they chant the OM, and also the supreme object of meditation. The silence you consider emptiness is a very subtle vibration, and is only void for the physical senses ...

SILENCE IS THE ABSENCE OF MENTAL CONSTRUCTIONS, BEING!

Like the sound, all thought forms emerge and merge back in to Being, Pure Consciousness, these thoughts to the extent that they became gross, in light and sound dimensions, they form all universes, all objects (perceptually animate or inanimate). According to their nature, similar recognizes similar, thoughts recognize other thoughts and support each other.
The bodies recognize other bodies, can only identify their similar. Only consciousness can recognize consciousness.

Whenever you make consciousness objective you establish illusion! Illusion is real to you just because you give it importance due to her promises. But who recognizes illusion? Your body will only recognize other bodies, thoughts (mind) will only recognize other thoughts. By any chance are you the body or the mind? When you free yourself of both (body and mind) the liberated consciousness (the self) recognizes the self (the ego), or vice versa, still identity is seen has an infinite one, your identity, the same one, only free ...

By "realizing" you realize that you have never left there, the best comparison is like diving into and become one, with an infinite ocean of bliss.
For this you have to give up everything, even what you think you are because this is an illusion and a dead end, but ...
You really you don’t give up anything, only the circumscribed for infinity.

However these are only words that try to come close to what is beyond words, this is a journey that anyone can do for you ... well actually there is none else besides You, Being, and You alone ARE.

Observe the Observer!

Observe the Observer!
Visitor: Why is the mind avoiding the empty spaces?
What's there that the mind doesn't like?

Satyavan: When a discussion takes place, apparently two different ideas oppose...and if by the force of reason your own idea drops losing the imagined reality, the other idea will be taken has real, or both the ideas drop...Those ideas laid their foundations on other ideas, unquestioned ideas that pile up resembling something concrete. The opinion, and the one that sustains the opinion, are of the same nature. One idea is a chain of thoughts, so is the personality a chain of ideas about who you are. If one by one the thought is observed, it will be seen that it does really not exist. Without you the thought will be a mere blank. Mind doesn't really exist, it subsides on thoughts, that subside from you...it is not the mind that fears the empty spaces, it is only the idea of who you are, that fears the truth, its own nonexistence. The empty spaces are the holes from where reality can be "seen" recognized. By observing the observer, the Thought will vanish into nothingness, and with that illusion will vanish. Has long has a pile of ideas (your conceptions about your being), search for other ideas (other conceptions, imagined better ones), illusion will continue. Evolution seems a slow process because there is a strong difficulty in dropping ones ideas. In this apparent movement you slowly change your ideas for less complex ones, each time more simple. Has you move from complexity to simplicity, and the ideas become simpler, it comes a time when ideas can be dropped in a safe way, without fear of disappearing...Has you remain without ideas, simply abiding in that (mental) emptiness, you will realize the fullness of your being. Investigate all your conceptions, don't take them for what they seem to be, for what you want them to be, but has they are. Don't analyze them just observe them and you will see.

What are you doing with your time?

What are you doing with your time? Have been reducing your mental constructs, are you remaining alert in the emptiness of your mind, or do you keep wandering in the illusion of sense experiences, in the endless search of warmth, affection, love, consciously denying the Eternal and Infinite Source of Joy that you are? What are you doing with your time?

This is very important! Time apparently passes in this sphere, events succeed themselves continuously... and during all this time where is your focus? You Still think you can choose this or that? That is just an idea that makes you suffer ... If you divide your effort, how do you expect to achieve equanimity, inner serenity, bliss? You dive into illusion searching for its false promises, how do you expect to awake to Reality? 2% focus on mind emptiness and the remaining 98% on illusion? Use your discernment! Where is your focus?

The difficulty remains in dropping individuality, that conviction that you are the body! You cannot think without being in terms of the body, from that confusion arises ... So the perspective is always of the body, the outer search versus the inner search, within the body, and outside of the body, etc ... You are not the body but all bodies are in You. You are the identity free from any identification with body, mind, condition, event, and That 'Heaven' is everywhere and everything is in That "Heaven"! Heaven and hell, are in That heaven, happiness and suffering are in That "heaven" ... duality is born from identification of the Eternal Self with the phenomenal self (body, mind), but it is just an idea, as suffering is just an idea! The conversation becomes repetitive because there is not much to say really, just different ways of saying the same thing. Recognize "Heaven" here now!

Reason and Intuition

Reason and Intuition
Question: Can’t be through reason?

Satyavan:
"You are the Truth!"

Not what you think about yourself, not what reason tells you that you are, You Are / Are beyond your understanding ... If the mind / reason doesn’t know destiny than how can she participate, besides being open? What is reason? Based on what grounds? What are the foundations of reason? Does it has any real foundation? We must take this into account, after understanding this, then everything else will be clear, there will be no more doubts or questions ...

Truth is not something alien, strange, or different from you. You are Truth, so what and where can you search, or find?

Everything can, and is done, it's all a matter of commitment, time, dedication, and opportunity...
As long as there is the illusion of separate existence, the idea that you are a body, there will be a tendency to negotiate, there will be a false sense of choice, control, however, and at some point in life, things will appear as they really are. ..
Until then, spirituality may even be an fashion exercise, a choice or way of life, cleaner, healthier, but still...

You are not what you imagine yourself to be. Stay alert, quiet yourself, quiet the mind, and wait in silence ... all will be clear ....
There is no outer or inner search, path, or choices to make. Remain calm, quiet, and everything will be clear. Peace is your natural state just remain quiet...  everything will be clear!

Sadness if it’s long than it’s a blessing!

Sadness if is long than it’s a blessing!
Guest: But sadness seizes me and doesn’t let me experience this fire that you speak about ...

Satyavan: Don’t get me wrong, try to understand the words ...

Sadness if it’s long than it’s a blessing!
A lot of castles are built in the sand, that one day the wave comes and takes away  ... so it’s this experience, in this and in other plans of reality/existence, no difference. Has long as you are deluded with all that surrounds you, eluded with the outer promises of happines. The disappointments are just shocks of reality, are blessings and not punishments, leading to a gradual disappointment! Very good, happiness in disappointment! The outer purpose is over. Nothing more satisfies, there is no motivation to continue! Perfect!
Now my friend, you are still there, with all that sadness, you are still there!
You no longer believe in the promises of life, and you are still there! The apparent death of the personality, is resurrection of spirit. Stay there, and look into that sadness, stare it in the face, don’t run away, don’t think about sadness, just observe it,  now observe that which is observing ... observe yourself, and again observe sadness, don’t think about anything, don’t think of sorrow, just observe, now come back to the observer, observe yourself, don’t think about yourself, don’t think about the observer, just observe; come back to sadness, observe sadness without any judgment, without any questions, without reasoning, observe sadness peacefully, and now come back to the observer ... stay with you now, observe yourself, think nothing, observe that consciousness/identity that observes, stay in your most intimate, without judgment, without distractions. If sadness comes, let it come, observe it for a while and then come back to the observer, the consciousness that observes and stay there. Gradually you will be able to stay more time in that real intimate space. Forget the world and its promises and stay there! You will find all the joy in that space, it's just a matter of time ... Look for nothing, reject nothing! Stay there!

Perfection is Inherent to Existence!

Perfection is Inherent to Existence! To exist is Perfection! The Father's kingdom is here! Peace is not a mental state, nor the product of a personal transformation, but the recognition of who I really am. When I learn to give up my individuality and remain in this ‘emptiness’, all illusion gradually fall apart, when I remain long enough, the Supreme Being manifests itself as the Infinite Expansion of myself, That which was previously limited to the body. It has nothing to do with the body or mind. In this limitless expansion, we realize in that recognition, that the body-mind has nothing to do with Reality. You already are the Supreme Being, and it will be clear, it's just a matter of time, but time is just from this plan, from this illusion, what does it matter when You're the Timeless Being. We are all One, or in this case, the One is ... There is no real search, because there is no real journey! Only the ego seeks salvation, because his really lost ... This is already the Kingdom of Father, it has always been here! It’s not about finding peace, but removing that which is disturbing peace ... but all this is immaterial ... who complains?! The personality, lasts a brief moment in the creation, creation lasts another brief moment, only the Supreme Being exists, and expresses in his own creation, enjoying his own play of his supposed ignorance ... The same concept appears in a more or less elaborate way, on "every individual" or body consciousness, the body only looks different, but what it expresses is the same ... There is no path, salvation, Master or disciples .... Only the Supreme Being that in this play takes on different roles, apparently being on them, but really, very, very far beyond from them ... There is no need to do anything, all is really good! Relax, there is nothing and no one besides you!
 
Blissfully,
Satyavan

Why do You Continue in the Same spiritual Drought?

From ignorance about your real SELF, individuality is born, from it, springs attachment, and suffering begins! Attachment is guaranteed suffering, whatever you are attached to , sooner or later, it will be guaranteed suffering! By recognizing  Your True Nature, Being, You Rejoice in Yourself! You Are the One, the All Pervading, everything emerges from, and merges back in You! What can you became attached to? What can you became detached from?

That attachment has nothing to do with love for others, if it has anything to do with love, we can say that has to do with love for yourself. You became attached to people, objects, to your sources of pleasure and happiness, either physical, emotional or mental. Not that it's for the sake of the other, but for the love that the other gives to you, or at least, for the promise of that love (satisfaction)!

As long as this attachment to individuality persists, suffering will be present and steady. No teaching or path will ever be enough! You hear about the world being an illusion, and at most you may think that it makes sense ... after this thought you resume normal activities in the same way as before, as if there was no understanding. Everything turns around individuality, and this generates spiritual emptiness, and you neither find peace (satisfaction) in the "material world" neither in the "spiritual world". The attachment to individuality and all other attachments are at the basis of suffering, and while it’s true nature remains concealed, any wisdom will be rejected. The vast majority of human beings, even those in spirituality, do not really want to know about spirit, they are just looking for it, because there is a promise of happiness, joy and pleasure… They want knowledge because it brings the promise of control, superiority, or even spiritual status, but wisdom is simply and straightforward rejected, because apparently there is no profit there! When you hear a teaching, the teaching is either accepted or rejected, who analyzes the teaching? Think about it! Who is the one that examines the spiritual teachings, is he not the same one that is the cause of the problems in all spheres of your life? What is the analyzers credibility? I wonder… Why is it that you continue in that same spiritual drought, or "just keep going" at a snail's pace? Why do you still recognize your own existence as this?

Blissfully,
Satyavan
