He's a spiritual teacher of the advaita/nondual persuasion.

His message might be summed up like this: There is no such thing as enlightenment because there is no one to become enlightened!

Here's an interview with him from last year. It's great. He projects a calm and joyful presence even through the video.

The void consumes reality. As our new state of “higher spiritual awareness” evolves, a better, clearer understanding will consume the realized self and all of its flaws.

If we choose to achieve our potential as a piece of the puzzle, then all things within that attentive space will move in and connect to create the whole. The Being warps space, creating an “indention into consciousness” where all things within that indention begin to fall into the direction of the newly warped space.

On a personal level, this is the equivalent of experiencing changes of attitude and gaining new traits of our chosen, true, and pure state. Our true self (the self that strives for its highest potential in a state of purity) will continue to expand its awareness. It will change, accomplish, and serve its purpose in the universal order with consciousness. Matter will physically manifest and will transcend. It will not only transcend the spiritual to the physical, but it will also create the chemical balance of science. It will recognize the ionic exchange, creating a balance of etheric and matter that corresponds to evolution. This is an explanation of how our thoughts can make a change and come through physically. To understand these points, we must remember several things. The essence creates the physical playground, which is then the grounding effect. The “energy-being” goes forth to search all potentials. It creates infinite possibilities by using mental time continuums (beliefs that must be experienced) that go back to the essence (Being) and recreates these beliefs into new realities. Because of the energy build-up, we will transcend the chemical balance of science and our development of consciousness.

I have a question regarding my current line of work as a music teacher, and my spiritual beliefs and interests. I currently teach at one of the best music schools in Europe, which I really enjoy - It’s such a great institution and I get to work with people that I like and feel good about. I’m very grateful for such an opportunity. :) Right now, my main interests in life are not music, but other aspects of personal development, especially spiritual and psychic development and the LOA. I devote a lot of time and energy to these areas and have been seriously considering doing such work professionally. I don’t as of yet have a personal, face-to-face, output for discussing or practicing concepts of a spiritual or psychic nature though, and at work, I have wanted to speak about such topics. But I have sensed that some of those I work with may not be receptive or supportive to spiritual and psychic matters, so I have kept my mouth shut. I have been a little scared of how others I work with would react if I told them I was into psychic stuff and afraid of how it would affect my reputation (ego), which up until this point in my life, has been almost entirely based on music. It’s ironic that given that a portion of my inner work has been on being less egocentic (many people tell me I’m very modest in light of my accomplishments as it is) and more humble, that one of my main concerns is about my ego...

It is through this responsibility that our integrity grows and our confidence becomes unshakable. Confidence is the hallmark of enlightenment. We must decide to make our own path or follow the beaten path of others. Most follow the paved path. Those who follow the paved path soon fall, become beaten down, and forever feel abandoned. The inner Creational Master within these people is covered up and has lost sight of his or her own divine light. We should not be fooled by the notion of having to remember something we have lost because we, as Creational Masters, could never do that. Instead, we should use our creative fortitude to make new realizations and understandings to forge ahead. Thus, we must embark upon the great journey that only we can design and only we can create. I urge everyone to live by design and not by chance. When we deny our personal responsibility, judgments and justifications become our source of rescue. These will take us further and further into the “portals of the mind.” As a result, our attention freezes, our actions lessen, and our fortitude dies. Our brain turns to mush, our actions slow, and we turn into a statue frozen in time. We are then glued to one reality of suffering, where complaining becomes our constant friend. By using an organized and open philosophy, such as Creotology, we can explore our own beliefs and not worry about adhering to other’s beliefs. No belief matters except our own. Creotology is a bridge that allows us to expand and recover our creative potential into the next bridge of consciousness we wish to build. In fact, earth is the physical experience that is prepared for us to learn more about energy and its use. The more an “energy-being” resists the creation on this dimension, the more the creation will persist. Anything that will not dissolve is a resistance created by the subjective mind and, therefore, will persist. In this resistance, all pain and suffering is caused and maintained. Never has there been anything before us, and there will be nothing after us; we are and will always be forever. All we need to do is to supply our own road map and accept our own responsibility to take us there (hence, self-responsibility). Evolution is nothing more than space occupied. The Being is the foundation that moves energy into making things happen. It has the ability to move across space and time and to create change with the power of consciousness.

Manifesting the consciousness solidifies through the act of the idea of “I Am” or the self concept. This allows the energy to release from awareness (the void) into consciousness. Once released into consciousness, it sustains itself by using attention. Attention acts like gravity and keeps the energy in a solid state. This is more like a particle affect. Energy normally travels in waves and particles. Attention creates and sustains “reality.” Our law should be the correct use and understanding of our will. The outer reality is within our personal reality. The macrocosm (a complex system seen as a single unit) is the self, and the identity it creates is the microcosm (a small version of something larger). This is the creation of the universe by the awareness, which experiences as the self. Therefore, the macrocosm contains and reflects the microcosm. The capacity for it to exist is solidified by the belief that all possibilities must exist somewhere in the universe. Energy travels for one reason: to realize the potential within all possibilities and workings of the macrocosm. It must also have order. Thus, it must follow our personal laws of creation. Our laws are accepted by the possibility that we work within time and space.

I'm 19, and at the age when I question ever thing in front of me, and biggest of all is my faith. I'v been struggling with our religion for awhile, I support a lot of its ideas, but its principle is what i struggle with.

I'm not sure if anyone knows a lot about it, but I'm interesting in your understanding of our church. If you don't know who we are, here are some well known things about our church.

• Rev Sung Myung Moon started our church/movment(Korean)
• Were Christian based, we believe in Jesus, yet believe his task wasn't complete and the new Messiah(Rev Moon) is the third coming, finishing Jesus task.
• Our most well known act is the Mass Marriages. Individuals from around the world come together to get "matched"(engaged/married) together. They are pick for each other by Rev Moon.
• We believe his family is the "True Parents", setting the examples of an ideal family centered on God.

They're are loads more, but these are a few you might know us by. I don't believe in most of the highlights, but im still a part of it.

150 Good Spiritual Quotes

There is absolutely nothing to do or fix - ever. Doing and fixing are outgrowths of imagining a separate person and a 'doer'. Is there really any entity in there doing anything, making anything happen at all? Or are thoughts, feelings and perceptions spontaneously appearing? If so, then all is happening as it is bound to happen, and there is no basis for imagining 'doership'.
-John Wheeler


The very search for pleasure is the cause of pain. -Sri Nisargadatta

(The great Indian sage is pointing out that happiness can only exist in the present moment (along with everything else), so the very act of searching takes you away from happiness, and thus pain and suffering arises! -mj)


Consciousness cannot be known by the mind. The mind is an object. It does not know anything. It is itself known by Consciousness.
- Rupert Spira

(This one is worth spending some time on. What it is pointing at can make all the difference in the world! -mj)


The space that is being looked for is the space that is looking.
-Rupert Spira


Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest. -Tilopa


My life is a succession of events, just like yours. Only I am detached and see the passing show as a passing show, while you stick to things and move along with them.
- Sri Nisargadatta


Your high opinion of me is your opinion only. Any moment you may change it. Why attach importance to opinions, even your own?
- Sri Nisargadatta


Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you any where.
- Zen proverb


Only when you can understand yourself as All Pervading Consciousness can you possibly understand that all the universe is an emanation of your mind. Everything that you see comes out of you.

The longest journey there is is from the head to the heart.


If we think that we know something objective about ourselves or the world, then whatever that something is that we think we know will condition our subsequent enquiry into the nature of experience. -Rupert Spira


Consciousness becomes dimmed chiefly through one's captivation and abiding interest in external objects.
- Sri Atmananda (Atma Darshan)


You can't have fear without need.
-Candace Silvers


If you can think about, it's not the truth.
-Robert Adams


You are the knower of your body, senses and mind, but the knower can never be known, because you are it and there's nobody to know it. It can never become an object of observation because it is your totality.

(What Pandiji, one of Jean Klein's earliest teachers, said to Jean that helped him glimpse reality. From the book, Transmission of the Flame.)


If there is attachment to it, there will be suffering. -Jac O'Keeffe


When the idea of the objects falls away gradually, and attention is more and more fixed upon the awareness, it will be seen that it is Reality which pervades everything. -Atma Darshan


You cannot change what you are inside by changing conditions. -Robert Adams

(This is one of the deepest quotes I have ever read. If you fully understand, if you see, what Robert is pointing at here, awakening can happen. There is a part of you that never changes. Forget about your life circumstances. Stay with the changeless that is always present. Feel it. It is you. Everything else is not.)


If you have conditioning, you cannot awaken. -Robert Adams

(Meaning anything you believe yourself to be keeps you tied to the body/mind. Let go of it all! It is not you! Nothing you can be aware of is you. As soon as you think about this, it is no longer it because then you have left the absolute and gone into mind/conditioning. Just BE. There is nothing to do and nowhere to go.)


Where real happiness exists, you do not. -Gina Lake


This moment is the final destination. 'This' is as much God as it gets. -Florian Schlosser


The seeking comes to an end when it is seen that the seeker never existed. -Michael Jeffreys

You learned your thoughts, beliefs and identity. Why then would you imagine you can't unlearn them? -Isira


There is the limited mind's world and there is present reality. Each moment provides a new opportunity to choose which one to experience. In other words, what you did 1 second ago is ancient history. All that matters is right now. -Michael Jeffreys


I used to be into 'self-help,' until it became clear that the self I thought needed help doesn't even exist! -Michael Jeffreys


What you assume yourself to be doesn't exist. -Charlie Hayes


When nothing satisfies, general motivation to live lessons. In truth, this is a moment to be celebrated. Arriving at the place where you know that there must be more to life and to you is an opening, not a dead end. -Jac O'keeffe



The only thing that can stop you from feeling happiness is you. To continue to look outside for something that is already inside only serves to distract you from looking within. -Jac O'keeffe



The freedom you look for is where you look from. -Jac O'Keeffe


The observer and the observed are appearances within awareness.


Suffering seems real because we don't have a clear understanding of our true nature. Instead, we believe the passing thoughts, such as 'I am no good,'I am not there yet,' 'I am stuck' or whatever the thought may be. Eventually we understand that we are not those thoughts. Once our real self is pointed out, the suffering loses its grip.
-John Wheeler


Beyond right thinking and wrong thinking there is a field. I'll meet you there. -Rumi


Truth begins where thought ends.


The world is as you are. -David Lynch

This is not a symptom of a physical condition, it's just not that kind of senastion, although it could be physiological - caused, for example, through stress. It comes and goes, and I am tending to get it mostly when I am having a tense thought, like in preparing for an upcoming job interview, and when taking deep breaths in and out when having a tense thought. It feels very odd to think I might experiencing anxiety in my feet!

Does anyone have any decent knowledge of the chakra system and the feet and hand chakras and how they relate? The sensation is strongest in the K1 meridian point in my right foot, and in my left pinkie finger.

I know that some people experience this when meditating or during/after reiki, however mine doesn't really apply to either.

The obvious answer is that I might need to do some grounding work, which could very well be possible, but I'm wondering if it might be more around the receiving or expelling of energy into the earth.

Or perhaps you have a good knoweldge of the spiritual/energetic relevance of the feet and hands that could send me in the right direction.

1. Money
2. Happiness
3. Achieving dreams

I'm going to share with people in my blog as well. Let's start from

1. Associate with successful people, success begets success.
2. Dare to take action
3. Be persistent
4. Make sure you do what you are interested in.
5. Have both vision and action.
6. Know what makes successful people successful
7. Work hard
8. ??
9. ??

You know yours ? Contribute. Let's be to the point directly, so there should be no longer than 30 words per point.

Thanks. ]]> truthforhappiness http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums/spirituality-consciousness-awareness/39489-how-successful.html
