Spiritual Confusion

You are aware. Unfortunately your awareness is mostly involved in the mental activity. You have a point of view, an opinion and a belief. These are all mental constructs. Your religion, your social lifestyle, your efforts and achievements are all created mentally.

There is only one pure awareness. You must gradually disassociate from all mental activity that is based on thinking, desiring and everything you have been conditioned to believe.

Morality is not a doctrine. It is self evident as karma. Pure awareness mostly remains aware. This means that the Lila of the world is a drama. All of the people living in the world are totally overwhelmed by the drama and accept the allusion that their experiences are real.

Pure awareness remains silent knowing that the drama is a momentary event. The achievement of worldly success is subjected to emotional losses and inner mental conflicts. Pure awareness remains within its own Swaroop (pure nature).

The drama changes the world continues but the individual is unaware that it is only momentary.

Pure awareness is liberated. The illusion of karma and the Lila of life is an event that individuals are consumed by.

The only method is to gradually reject your own emotional involvement with your beliefs and mental conditioning. There are many experiences and teachings that can assist you with this method.

Stop thinking you know better. Stop believing in your own desires and attachments. Stop thinking and dedicate yourself to remaining aware without liking or disliking. No more drama. No more belief. Simply be aware.

Very difficult especially when you are reacting to something or someone. So stop reacting. Be aware that you want to react but don't react. Be aware that you think you know but keep it to yourself. Gradually abandon these feelings and attachments to your mental activity.

You can become pure awareness. You have always been pure awareness. You just don't have the experience because your awareness is captivated by the imaginary reality of the mind.

Kundalini Shakti

We exist within the polarities of two dynamic forces of energy. Each of these have diversified and multiplied into innumerable variations by the manifestation of creation.

Physical - the entire manifested creation is the physical. This includes the visible and invisible. Atoms, particles and wave forms i.e. radio waves, electricity, micro waves etc are all physical manifestations.

Mental - the mind is a matrix of energy fields that can be managed by discipline, concentrated awareness and intuitive decisions. The function of intellect, reasoning and logic is to facilitate the evolution of mind through management of the mental forces.

Spiritual - a third energy is a potential energy that is accessible by uniting the physical and mental energies.

Heart and Mind - the heart delights in goodness. That which is not good divides. The heart becomes selfish and toxic. The mind becomes confused and dissipated in conflict with itself. The mind and heart can become a unified powerful force of spiritual energy. This happens when we discipline and manage the mind by channelling the mental energies. The heart reveals goodness and the mind becomes good. This is the way.

Honesty, truthfulness, cleanliness, contentment and pure awareness are not qualities we practise. They evolve naturally when the mind is disciplined.

Compassion, pure intentions and humility are the natural qualities of the heart that attract a disciplined mind.

The spiritual energy glorifies the Union of Shiva Shakti, Ida Pingala, physical and mental. All three energies are Kundalini Shakti.

The Greatest Achievement

Do not forget who you are. Thou art the immortal self (Atman).

You know the anger, experience the anger and suffer the anger. It is there because it is a condition of the mind. You are not the mind because you are the observer of the mind.

Awareness is inherent within the mind but it is not of the mind. You are knowing and aware of yourself as awareness.

Do not forget this. Keep reminding yourself. I am aware, I am that which is always aware.

Observe the compulsion to react. That compulsion is a condition of the mind. Remain steady and secure within your own experience of awareness. Do not engage or involve yourself. The world is reacting to involvement with the mind. It is real just like the sentiment in a movie BUT remember you are watching the movie. See it for what it is.

Do not forget who you are. This is the highest spiritual achievement.

Those who can see the truth of what is really happening must themselves let go of any emotional involvement. The drama of life is created by thoughts, beliefs and the structure of the mind. Any attempt to intellectually analyse or understand is only going to perpetuate the existence of mind.

All I can advise is for you to learn and establish an unshakable experience of observation. Silence is your most powerful asset, absorption into mindfulness doing whatever it is that is to be done while knowing that there is no achievement nor success in anything you do. The outcome simply provides you with the next moment of mindfulness.

That's all. Be aware, remain silent pay attention, know that which is known in that moment. Your enlightenment is yours only. Disciples, missions and creating institutions are futile deceptions.

What is stress

All stress is created in the mind by thinking. When I say thinking I am referring to patterns of thinking like guilt, shame, lack of confidence, desire for something more, ideas beliefs doctrines and everything else created in the mind by thinking.

Stress Free

Stop thinking. Anytime you find yourself thinking about something especially when it is related to self limiting thoughts.

Focus on the positive opportunity to adapt and be creative in expressing your awareness. By Awareness I mean that which is obvious to you without having to think about it.

You know instantly that which is not right yet you choose to ignore the obvious and justify your self by thinking (no one will know, or I deserve this).

Stop thinking and listen to your immediate awareness.

Spirituality

Is simply the relationship you have with yourself.

No religion is spiritual, nor is yoga, kundalini or any other system. They are only tools.

A gardener may have a vision of the garden but it is the hard work and the tools of gardening that enable the gardener to create a garden. Along the way the desired garden is never that which was imagined because the influence of factors like insects, weather, soil etc inhibit or enhance.

The spiritual enlightenment is never complete. Whatever you imagine is the spiritual enlightenment you will always know within yourself that it is incomplete. The ego will never spare you my dear ones. Know this. Always continue to work and improve the relationship you have with yourself.

This is spiritual.

Awareness is always pure

I had awareness of the experience in my mother's womb. I had awareness of the experiences as a child, a teen, a lover, and as a parent. I continue to be aware of the experiences.

Awareness has and is always the same awareness it is not affected by the experience.

All experiences are accumulated into the fabric of mind. The mind changes because of the experiences and it is the mind that creates the emotional involvement with the experiences.

Awareness is always aware of everything that is experienced.

You forget yourself as pure awareness because you think the mind is your true existence.

Mind is real but it is also continually changing and involved in its own process.

Awareness is real and it never changes. I am that pure awareness ever present knowing. I have always been aware and will remain aware. I will not forget my true existence because I know that everything else is impermanent and existing as an experience of the mind.

That mind is not who I am. Mind does not know who I am But I know the mind.

Everything is the result of an activity.

Everything is interacting with everything else. There is no original source.

The whole complete existence of everything is one existence. The one existence is the supreme reality. It is glorious effulgent radiant with self.

You learn more about yourself by interacting with life and discovering the truth of what works and is most effective and efficient.

Goodness is not something you can imitate with actions that you believe are good. Goodness is inherent and you can only become good by eliminating the impurities of corrupted thinking. Innocence is a natural expression of goodness. Humility is a natural radiance of knowing yourself with compassion, discovering your most powerful existence, loving, caring and empowering others with faith in themselves.

False Knowledge

If you listen carefully and observe carefully you will realise that the teachers and self styled gurus are only offering clever interpretations of everything they have read in books. Chakras, spiritual philosophy are all concepts. The true spiritual experience is the relationship you have with yourself.

Developing a new philosophy ( Attachment and detachment ) March 1983

You may read the whole of 'Yoga Vashishta' but if an accident takes place in your family, you are definitely going to feel it, because the 'Yoga Vashishta' has not brought about a fundamental transformation in the structure of your awareness. It has only enlarged the scope of your intellect. At the most you can say, 'Oh, life is temporary', but still you will be struck by the disaster. What is required is a transformation in the realm of awareness, anubhuti or experience, and that can be brought about by the practice of dhyana yoga, self-introspection, mantra and similar techniques.

During grihasthashram you are involved in karma, and these karmas create more karma. They create samskaras to which you are bound because of anasakti or involvement. It is possible to associate with our family, our children, our responsibilities and obligations, either with total attachment or with detachment. However, we have only been taught to base our associations on attachment. Nobody has ever shown us how to live with our relatives, discharge our duties, solve our problems and interact with our family members, friends, wealth, money and property with detachment. The art of living a detached life is called karma sannyasa.

Detachment is not something that can be developed just by thinking or through any other intellectual process. Unless you have some experience which changes the quality of your mind, you cannot understand what detachment means. In order to understand anasakti, vairagya, sannyasa or detachment, you need more than just an intellectual process. You must have a different quality of mind. And for that purpose, the mind has to be trained and educated.

Intellectually you know that nothing belongs to you and that all is temporary. You may say it every day, but because there is so much mamata, 'mineness' and attachment, whatever happens to someone else affects you too, because you relate yourself to the happenings.

Once there was a sadhu and a mussulman living next door to each other. One day the sadhu heard his neighbour crying. He went to the mussulman and asked, 'Why are you crying?' He sobbed, 'Maharaj, my goat is dead.' The sadhu said, 'So what? Sooner or later everything has to die.' He explained that crying would not bring the goat back and he was able to pacify his friend.

After three months, the sadhu's cow died. He became so miserable that he did not come out of his kutir for many days. His friend the mussulman wondered what had happened and he came to investigate. He entered the sadhu's kutir and found him in deep depression. He asked, 'What has happened to you?' The sadhu replied, 'My cow is dead.' The mussulman remembered how he had been consoled by the sadhu's wise words when his goat had died, so he said, 'What if your cow is dead? Every being has to die.' The sadhu interrupted, 'Go away from here, I am thinking about my cow and I don't want to hear your words of wisdom.' The mussulman replied, 'But when my goat died, you consoled, me with the same wisdom.' The mahatma got angry and shouted, 'That was all right for your goat but this is my cow.'

You see, this is a very simple thing that we experience every day in our lives. When the sadhu was talking to the mussulman he had a different quality of intellect which he did not have when his cow died. In order to practise detachment or anasakti, you don't have to abandon karma, the elements or materials. You have only to develop a philosophy, and through that philosophy, you can have a different relationship with everybody. But, to have that philosophy you must have an experience. - Karma Sannyasa

Evolution of Mind

Life evolves into the conceived and imagined conceptual mind. The evolution of the human spieces is only a small event although significant.

The early human species experienced encounters with wild animals and the elements of nature in the same way as animal and nature existed.

The mind evolved by imagination and desire enabling us to overcome the fear of fire, conceive of ways to carry fire and later how to make fire.

Every evolution of our species has been an expression of that which has evolved within the mind. We think the mind is ours and we have become convinced that we are in control of the mind yet it is obvious we are not.

Before the human species life existed without us. The evolution of life before us was always an evolution of mind.

So you may want to consider that the mind is not contained within the brain. In fact the brain evolved because of the mind. How did mind begin and what was existing before the mind. The answer is known to those who have been able to detach themselves from the mind and experience that which is known as Atman.

Thou art the immortal self Atman. Everything else is perishable and transforms through the process of evolution. Evolution is a process of mind. It will continue even when you have realised and have become immersed in your true immortal self Atman.

Enjoy, knowing I shall always be while everything else is impermanent.
