  7. I am so grateful for your generosity Dr Deepak. I’m always surprised when I see yet another upload. I shouldn’t be. I guess it’s that’s just how grateful I am.

  12. 🐟 02. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF “LIFE”:

    Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible – that is, any gross or subtle OBJECT within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the cognitive faculties, plus the SUBJECT (the observer of all phenomena) – is to what most persons generally refer when they use the term “God”, since they usually conceive of the Primeval Creator as being the Perfect Person, and “God” (capitalized) is a personal epithet of the Unconditioned Absolute. However, this anthropomorphized conception of The Absolute is a fictional character of mythologies.

    According to most every enlightened sage in the history of this planet, the Ultimate Reality is, far more logically, Impersonal Absolute NOTHINGNESS (otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “Uncaused Nature”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera).

    In other words, rather than the Supreme Truth being a separate Blissful, Supra-Conscious Being (The Godhead Himself or The Goddess), Ultimate Reality is Eternal-Existence Limitless-Awareness Unconditional-Peace ITSELF.

    Because the Unmanifested Absolute is infinite creative potentiality, “it” actualizes as EVERYTHING, in the form of temporary cyclical universes. In the case of our particular universe, we reside in a cosmos consisting of space-time, matter and energy, without, of course, neglecting the most fundamental dimension of existence (i. e. conscious awareness – although, it is, being the subject, by literal definition, non-existent).

    Just as a knife cannot cut itself, nor the mind comprehend itself, nor the eyes see themselves, The Absolute cannot know Itself (or at least objectively EXPERIENCE Itself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Itself for the purpose of experiencing Itself, particularly through the lives of self-aware beings, such as we sophisticated humans. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness, in the same way that a dream is a person’s sleeping narrative set within the life-story of an ‘awakened’ individual.

    APPARANTLY, this phenomenal universe was created with the primal act (the so-called “Big Bang”), which started, supposedly, as a minute, slightly uneven ball of light, which in turn, was instigated, ultimately, by Extra-Temporal Supra-Consciousness. From that first deed, every motion or action that has ever occurred has been a direct (though, almost exclusively, an indirect) result of it. Ultimately, no thing exists.

    Just as all the extant energy in the universe was once contained within the inchoate singularity, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the beginning of the universe, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. Obviously, discrete consciousness is entirely dependent on the neurological faculty of individual animals (the more highly-evolved the species, the greater its cognitive abilities).

    “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (‘all this is indeed Brahman’). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace –
    and you are that!
    This ‘Theory of Everything’ is more succinctly expressed as the mathematical equation:
    E=A͚ (Everything is Infinite Awareness).

    HUMANS are essentially this Eternally-Aware-Peace, acting through an extraordinarily-complex biological organism, comprised of the eight rudimentary elements – pseudo-ego (the sense of self), intellect, mind, solids, liquids, gases, heat (fire), and ether (three-dimensional space).

    Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a culmination of that primary manifestation. That is the most accurate and rational explanation for “karma” – everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY, via an ever-forward-moving trajectory. The notion of retributive (“tit for tat”) karma is just that – an unverified belief. Likewise, the notion of a distinct, reincarnating “soul” or “spirit” is, substantially, a fallacious belief.

    Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors – our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human and non-human animal was determined by those two factors ALONE. Therefore, free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe.

    As a consequence of residing within this dualistic universe, we experience a lifelong series of fluctuating temporal pleasures and pains, which can take the form of physical, emotional, and/or financial pleasure or pain. Suffering and pain are NOT synonymous.
    Suffering is due to a false sense of personal 'doership' – the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts, emotions, and deeds, and that, likewise, other persons are autonomous agents, with complete volition to act, think, and feel as they wish. Another way of stating the same concept is: suffering is due to the intellect being unwilling or unable to accept life as it manifests moment by moment.

    There are five SYMPTOMS of suffering, all of which are psychological in nature:
    1. Guilt
    2. Blame
    3. Pride
    4. Anxiety
    5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future

    These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above – that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including Homo sapiens, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
    The human organism is essentially a biopsychological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements and the three subtle material elements, listed above.

    The ANTIDOTE to all mental anguish is to firstly discern pain from suffering, then to achieve complete relief from that miserable state of existence, by abandoning the erroneous belief in personal authorship, and abiding in the primordial sense of being (the unqualified “I am”, which is one's core identity). This is the very same peace which is experienced each night during the dreamless phase of the sleep cycle. This 'resting imperturbably as Flawless Awareness' can be practiced on a regular basis, until it is fully assimilated and integrated into one's life.

    Every person, from time immemorial, has been either intentionally or unwittingly seeking such causeless peace, most commonly by practicing one of the four systems of YOGA (religion), or else in creating wealth, or in psycho-physical pleasures. That peace of mind is often referred to as “happiness”, “joy”, or “love”, and often presumed to be a temporal state, since many assume, incorrectly, that continuous peace is unavailable in this life. Fortunately, that is not the case – it is eminently possible to live one's life acquainted with unbroken peace of mind, if destined.

    Following DHARMA (frameworks of authentic religion and societal duties) is not guaranteed to achieve that desired tranquillity of mind, but even so, it is beneficial for individuals, since it establishes a structure which enables one to more easily elevate oneself beyond the mundane, animalistic platform (i. e. the base pursuits of eating, sleeping and mating). Intrinsic to dharma is the division of the adult male population into the four classes of society and the inherent role of girls and women in society, as fully elucidated in latter chapters of this Holy Scripture.

    So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (ostensively) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all mental suffering, RIGHT?

    WRONG! It is imperative to approach an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another way (in alignment with your essential identity as The Divine). For one who has himself for a teacher, that man has a veritable fool as his teacher.

    Even if you adhere closely to the precepts of a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life – all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course.

    Furthermore, if you are suitably-qualified and it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to receive discipline from one of the EXCEEDINGLY rare fully-enlightened masters residing on earth at any given time (perchance, even the current World Teacher himself), and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by diligently studying authoritative doctrines (especially the most accurate and complete of all extant Scriptures, this “Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”), serving your guru with great reverence and devotion, and by deliberately avoiding undue harm to oneself, to other individuals, to society as a whole, and to the natural environment, including other life forms.

    Most beneficially, you are urged to become VEGAN, since carnism (the ideology which supports the use and consumption of animal products, especially for ‘food’) is, apart from illegitimate (non-monarchical) governance and feminism, arguably the most destructive existential practice.

    Best wishes for your unique, personal journey towards unalloyed peace and HAPPINESS!

  13. This is the fourth meditation that has the same narrative. Each meditation has a different title and released on a different day, but the narrative is identical. It's a bummer that this happens. Especially when the title of the meditation indicates there is a different subject & might contain something new to learn, but it doesn't…same thing, rinse and repeat.

  18. You! Yes you reading this right now. No not some random person but YOU! I'm sending this message to YOU! Everything that has hurt you is over. Every test you've been put through, you have survived. You might not be exactly where you were aiming to be but today marks the start of your new life. Your mindset shifted to such a high level that it vibrated on a frequency that brought you right here. The universe has a way of taking you exactly where you want to be, at the perfect time and all that is required, is for you to align your mind. NOW, you're on the right track. Watch this over and over until it sinks in and share it with the people you want a better life for and heal and grow together. You're blessed and the new chapter of your life just started! No more negativity. No more sadness. Forgive yourself and learn to love who you've always been so you can sore to the highest level of yourself. This is awesome and I'm so excited for what's about to happen to you over the next few days. Wow! You really made it to this place.
