Sept. 28, Satsang roundup: Dead AND Alive
The free class has been posted on Youtube and will remain for a few days only: https://youtu.be/JSwApyKPYBU
Here is a recap of some of the topics and a link to the recorded class to view at your leisure:
On Saturday morning we discussed the in-between state of life and death. We did NOT discuss the afterlife or pre-death phenomena! I tried my best to stay on the topic of the actual death-experience itself. The in-between state is something of a neutral zone where our Soul and consciousness reside before moving on to our next stage. It is called many things:
• Purgatory in Western religions
• The Bardo in Buddhist traditions (bardo means “between the two” in Tibetan)
• Antarābhav in Sanatan Dharm (Hinduism. Antara means in between, bhav means existence in Sanskrit)
• Duat in ancient Egyptian
• The Portal (my own label during and after my near-death experience)
Satsang continued with a 5 minute reading from the Dead AND Alive chapter from Within the Portal.
It is important to recognize this dimension as a temporary, in-between, sort of gateway, one travels through along the way in the Soul’s journey. It is a transitional phase between afterlife destinations. To use the common medical disclaimers we hear, “results may vary." Haha, destinations may vary based upon the individual!
• Celestial (heavenly)
• Hellish
• Reincarnation (plant, insect, animal or human)
• Liberation—Soul or Self-Realization
o Union of the Soul with Everythingness (Oneness-samadhi-nirvana)
o Liberation includes dissolution of consciousness
• Divine-Realization—God-Realization
o Union of the Soul with the Divine
o Divine Realization includes divination of consciousness
The first ones are temporary: celestial abodes, hellish ones and reincarnations are all temporary. These are not eternal destinations, but are attained by how we lived our lives and interacted with the In-Between phase. We’ve all been back and forth between the countless times, like spiritual ping-pong balls!
The last two are permanent and eternal: Liberation and Divine Realization. In the Liberation categories, our consciousness is dissolved, hence no more suffering as the Buddha taught—we have no ‘mind’ to perceive with so we exist without subjective perception: we are ONE with existence but do not perceive any longer. In Divine Realization, our consciousness is divinized—all of its material properties (ego-self-subjectivity…) are removed so all that remains of mind is the Divine elements which is pure: we are ONE with divinity and continue to perceive this for eternity.
The Portal is a sublime realm: it is egoless and desireless—almost. Your self still exists but is in a purer state of clarity, temporarily unbound from ego, karmas and desires. Your ‘self’ becomes mostly dormant while Within the Portal and it is reactivated when you leave to re-exist in another realm.
We had a fun and challenging time explaining the inexplainable! It was quite Zen to explore and try to define that which is ineffable to material consciousness! We agreed that being unable to understand it, meant we were understanding it.
Next Satsang topic: Resurrection: The Soul’s transition from the in-between state, Within the Portal, to a physical body. Should be fun!

DEAD & ALIVE: Saturday sadhana for personal development.
Yeah, it doesn’t say Dead OR Alive does it? It says Dead AND Alive.
Even when your dead, you’re alive. Your soul, your spirit, your consciousness, something… lives on. Even though your physical body may become worm food, a ‘self’ that is primordial continues. The part that continues is not even interrupted: You go right on thinking, feeling and perceiving before, during and after a death event. How do I know? Because I did it! The whole Near-Death Experience phenomena occurred when I was hit in the face by a full-size SUV and I remained aware through the whole, entire thing. After being brought back to life on the scene, I remained in a coma for nine days and my mind kept right on thinking, feeling and perceiving. I was dead AND alive. Upon impact I teleported to another dimension which was not solid matter at all.
For this Saturday’s sadhana-satsang talk, we will explore the AND part—the in-between, the during part of the death experience. Rather than the afterlife and after-death parts we’ll explore the during part. There are as many varied stories of the AND part as there are people who’ve experienced it. They’re all so different, they can’t all be right, can they? Hint: in the material realm, everything is either/or, but in the realm of spirit there are a lot of ANDS.
Is it light? Is it dark? Peace? Fear? Is it solid? Is it subtle? Angels? Space?

EMPATHS & EMPATHY: Managing the Highs and Lows

Empathy is a powerful virtue that can be overwhelming at times.
Empathy differs from sympathy: Sympathy is feeling sorry for someone; empathy is feeling sorry with someone. Empathy does not need to be confined to feelings of sorrow or pain though. A true empath can share joy and happiness with another as well. My own empathy goes both ways: I can intensely feel another’s confusion or sorrow, but someone’s joy and enthusiasm are infectious too! Nothing is more fulfilling than to use my empathy to help another navigate from confusion to understanding.
As a spiritualist who serves others with intuitive readings, counseling and guidance, empathy is vital to my serving them. Empathy is a side-effect of spiritual growth. Most intuitives empathically connect with another’s curiosities and concerns to provide guidance for them.
The challenge with feelings of empathy is managing them.
Channeling empathy to something helpful can make it manageable. By adding action to empathic feelings, it can turn frowns upside down. Empathy which is debilitating needs channeled application and, most of all, it needs perspective. Empaths need to develop the ability to co-exist with feelings of empathy rather than just absorb them. Emotional training and spiritual development make empathy manageable. By developing one’s mind, emotions and spirit, empathy becomes a powerful force of inspiration.

CHOOSING A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE: SATURDAY, SEPT. 7, 7.30 am Pacific

Every success in life requires unwavering focus and dedication.
Career, family, love, education and every form of self-improvement relies on full commitment. This level of dedication needs to also coexist with our other passions and duties. How then, do we give full attention to a goal without neglecting other important areas of our life?
It’s a zen-thing: whatever we are doing in any particular moment must be ALL we are doing. When its time to work-work; when it’s time to rest-rest; when it’s time to exercise-exercise. We need to be able to shift gears between tasks and then give FULL attention to the task at hand. Hence the zen saying, “Chop wood. Carry water.” It is not chop wood AND carry water. This famous Zen aphorism instructs you to give full attention to what you are doing in the present moment: Chop wood. OR… carry water. It also reminds us to not over analyze or complicate things: K.I.S.S. Keep-It-Simple-Stupid!
Our spiritual development is no exception. When it is time to do spiritual practices such as meditation or prayer, benefits will only be realized with full attention to the effort. Once the action is complete, move on. There is a wonderful difference between material actions and spiritual practices though. Spiritual efforts and practices resonate deeply into our mind and change the way we think and feel, about ourselves and the world we live in. Our worldly actions color our perspectives too, but, with some practice, they can be shut off whereas spiritual efforts continue to be present after the fact.
The first hurdle we face in spiritual practices is which ones: which and what spiritual practices do we do?
First, we must know are destination. Once a destination is determined, then we can follow a path to reach it. Without a known destination, we are just wandering aimlessly. We may be doing things well, but not getting any actual results. Same as we may go into the kitchen to prepare a meal, setup all our wares and mix them all up, but without a planned meal, it’s just a mess of stuff. We must know what we’re making to combine the right actions and get the right results.
Tomorrow, we will discuss the various options of spiritual paths and practices. Much like planning a meal, as we consider the options in some detail, we get a true sense of what we actually want, and then we can begin to put it together and, viola, with dedication and effort we make something we can be proud of and can share with others too. Let’s take a look at the spiritual menu options and see what we’re craving and get busy making it. Tomorrow, Saturday the 7th at 7.30 am pacific time. Until then? Chop wood. Carry water.

There are many octaves of LOVE: romantic, familial, humanitarian, animal and more, all the way UP to Divine Love. They are all totally different, yet have a common thread uniting them.
Each Saturday our small group of spiritual seekers and scholars discuss the challenges of living spiritually in a mundane world. We have a lot of fun at the expense of shallow, pop-culture as we dive into the deep end of the pool to explore the paths to peace and illumination. Well, how bout we change it up a bit? This week’s topic is simple and sweet: LOVE & GRATITUDE.
These two virtues coalesce into the cornerstone of Spiritual Development: HUMILITY.
We will have some fun speaking about things to be grateful for and how to love. We will explore the challenges of sustaining them and, most importantly, how to increase and enhance our capacity for both. Every other feature of the mind and heart is unhealthy if its excessive. Except these two. You cannot overdose on them, they have no bad side effects and the more you give, the more you get. No exceptions: ‘bad’ love doesn’t exist, only people who love badly! Genuine love has no downside. It always comes with gratitude and vice-versa.
Love is exponential. It can ALWAYS be more. And deeper. More joyful. More profound. It is perfect.

PAST LIFE EXHAUSTION
I have many memories: from Atlantean times to ancient times and ones that seem to be on another planet altogether. Some glorious, some tragic; some plain and some magic. I do not seek something new in the world to experience. I’m cool with a few familiar things that satisfy my spirit rather than the mind-numbing pain of TSA lines at the airport to travel to exotic lands. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED my last adventure to Egypt in 2022. I toured Giza, scuba dove the Red Sea in Hurgada and came FACE to FACE with my own past-life incarnation in a lost tomb over 3,000 years ago. No… I wasn’t a pharaoh; just a lowly servant who happened to be just important enough to be entombed with a few other servants.
All of your lifetime’s memories are stored within the Akashic Records and are accessible in layers of your consciousness.
In the here and now, I’m often considered an ‘old-soul’ because I have a well developed spirit awareness and a body of knowledge that seems to extend far past a current life. I’m fresh and strong, but also a little fatigued from so many lifetime memories.
Fret not! You can use this past-life-exhaustion to work smarter, not harder, in your spiritual development and progress! We will talk tomorrow about this fascinating phenomena.

PAST LIFE EXHAUSTION
Feel like an ‘old-soul’? A bit wiser and more aware than most? Rather disinterested in pop-culture trends and entertainments?
This may be because you have an inner awareness of your past-lives. You may not remember with your conscious mind, but just beneath the surface of your mind is this not-so-subtle awareness that you’ve ‘been there, done that’ with a whole lot of things.
Our Soul feels ever-fresh and new, even though it has been around for an eternity. Our mind, however, can feel a little restless with the world at large and a bit fatigued from so much experience.
The truth is no one’s soul is actually older than any other since all souls are eternal—never began, and shall never end. But past-life content is stored within layers of our consciousness, so we may have subtle awareness of them. We can access past-life memory with regression methods and we can build upon the knowledge and experiences we’ve had by tapping into them.
Working with past-life content helps remedy the fatigue we may be feeling as an ‘old soul’. We can build on our experience for greater spiritual development and progress.
This week’s satsang talk will explore the ‘old-soul’ concept and provide methods to access the past, tune into the future and re-energize the soul-energy.

TA**RA: THE LOOM THAT WEAVES
TA**RA WORKSHOP TOMORROW
DISCLAIMER: this Saturday’s workshop on Ta**ra Yog will discuss the s*xual yog(a) within the Ta***ic system. It is adult content.
Ta**ra means ‘to weave’, or, ‘the loom of weaving’ and it shares many of the yogic methods with other paths. It is the path that reveals how to use the physical body and energy body together to activate and experience spiritual consciousness.
We will explore the methods of using sensual pleasures, like food, s*x and intoxicants, to enhance consciousness. How and why you use these things is at the core of the philosophy. There are Ta***ic methods of restraint too, such as abstinence and deprivation. Ta**ra teaches how to engage the mind and spirit in mundane actions to convert them from mere physical experiences to spiritual ones. Why settle for good food or a good ‘O’, when you can have a sensually magical one! But that’s not the point. Ta**ra isn’t about having the pinnacle or**sm or delighting the palate. It teaches how to add spiritual context and layers to material actions which expand consciousness.
Tomorrow, Saturday, July 20, 2024, 7.45 am pacific time, livestream.
ALWAYS FREE. ALL ARE WELCOME.

TA**RA: THE LOOM THT WEAVES
There are many paths of yog(a), and Ta**ra is a path that has subdivisions. There are many s*xual references to Ta**ra, but the s*xual practices within the Ta**ra path are just a part of the whole path. Another is s*xual abstinence (but who wants that?! Haha!)
DISCLAIMER: this Saturday’s workshop on Ta**ra Yog will discuss the s*xual ‘magic’ within the Ta***ic system.
Ta**ra means, to weave, in Sanskrit, or, the loom that weaves. It is a wonderful yog system that teaches methods and practices to synthesize the physical body and senses with the energy-body and mystical consciousness. The Kundalini path of yog is a subdivision of Ta**ra so I rarely speak of Ta**ra without discussing Kundalini yog too. My own Kundalini event was initiated with Ta**ra methods. It was a mind-bending experience that permanently rewired me physically, mentally and neurologically.
Some Ta**ra methods are designed to tap into sensual dynamics to alter consciousness. There are also Ta**ra methods that use sensory deprivation. One branch is a path of excess, the other is one of extreme restriction; both bring rather intense paradigm shifts, forcing the mind to reformat.
This Saturday’s satsang class will teach the fundamentals of the Ta**ra system and the underlayers that are not well known or accessible in your local yoga studio or online resources. My own research and training are hands on with Tanric yogis and yoginis and I have spent many years traveling to exotic locales in India and with hard to find books such as the Hatha Yog Prapidika (that one’s intense!).
ALWAYS FREE. ALL ARE WELCOME.
