Spontaneous Fulfillment of DesireTHE JOURNEY TO INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

We already live in a treasure chamber filled with everything we could dream of.

“I have lived on the lip of insanity, searching for Truth, knocking on the door. The door opens, I was knocking from the inside”

- Rumi

Rumi“Awareness sleeps in minerals

It dreams in plantsIt awakens in animals

It has the potential to become Self-aware in humans”

Pure Consciousness is the only reality, everything else is an experience in consciousness

In every experience you are creating the worldYou are not in the world, the world is in you

There is only consciousness and its modified forms

All experiences are Space-Time events

Everything you perceive with your senses has:A location in space

An existence in time

The Experiencer, the one who is having the experience, is beyond space and time

We are not our thoughts, mind or bodyThe TV is an instrument that captures a non-local signal, at any location,

and converts it into a picture

Our mind and body is the instrument that captures non-local, unlimited, Pure Consciousness and converts it into the

localized, limited, space-time events of our everyday life

If our TV is broken or not tuned correctly, we won’t receive a clear pictureWhen the mind and body are filled with stress and fatigue, memories and

desires, doubts and fears our lives become a distorted picture of Pure Consciousness, the True Reality

When, through our spiritual practice, we release the stresses, fatigues, negative emotions and toxins from our mind and body,

Truth shines fully in our life

The quality of the instrument determines the quality of the experienceWe don’t need to create anything new, just purify the instrument

3 Stages of DevelopmentDetach from the physical body - I am not the body Having a healthy body that doesn’t distract usHealth is the spontaneous fulfillment of all desires

Detach from the subtle body - I am not the mind Free from doubts and worries become a pure reflection of the inner eternity.

Detach from the causal body - (Soul)Break the connection from the karmic cycle.

Tagore“The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy,

the bird in the air is singing but humans have within them

the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and

the music of the air.”

Preparing the MindThe mind is the cause of bondage and of liberation

Our ideas, beliefs, desires and thoughts are the creators of our reality

The mind makes the world it wants to live in by calling on the senses to give it shape, color, smell, etc.

Suffering or negative thoughts are mistakes of the intellect, where the mind holds onto something imperfect

Every experience is an opportunity for awakening

4 Conditions of the MindFriendship – To those who are equal to usCompassion – To those subordinate or who have sorrowsDelight (happiness) – To those who surpass us in some wayIndifference – To those who have hostility towards us

As a result envy, jealousy, malice, etc will cease to grow and the mind will become pure and turn inwards

Quality of Speech:The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers.Before words get past the lips, the first gatekeeper asks, “Is it true?” That stops a lot of traffic immediately. But if the words get past the first gatekeeper, there is a second who asks, “Is it kind?” And for those words that qualify here too, the last gatekeeper asks, “Is it necessary?” - Arab Proverb

RecapitulationBECOMING THE OBSERVER

Before sleep sit for a few minutesWithout analyzing or judging observe what happened during the day on

the screen of your consciousnessNotice any insights from your behavior

Let the “movie” goAsk your soul to witness your sleep

In the morning, recapitulate the nightWrite down any memorable scenes

The day and night are both projections of our consciousnessLook for insights and meaningful coincidences

Everything in Creation is EvolvingWith the practice of meditation, we accelerate the process

Meditation is a spiritual journey, the goal of which is to reawaken our true (normal) state of Higher Consciousness.

Most people live very limited lives, prisoners of habits and hypnotized by social conditioning. Our spiritual journey is to escape from the prison of the past, so

every day is a step towards Infinite Possibilities

“While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones” - Tagore

The ignorant man asks for material possessions, the intelligent man asks for liberation but the wise man just loves and receives everything
