Advanced Techniques 2

I’m extremely excited that it is time now to start teaching the advanced techniques! When you build a house, the first thing that happens is the construction of a foundation. All through these years, our meditation practices have cultivated that foundation. Now we’re ready to start building the house. And though the foundation is Absolutely necessary, the house is what we enjoy.

With these advanced techniques, the program becomes delightful and fascinating. All the different levels of existence (Lokas) become accessible as the entire fabric of the universe integrates with your physiology on all levels of your being. To say this is one thing; but to experience it is quite another.

These techniques came about as the result of my own personal experience. I found them within myself. Intrigued by my experience, I consulted with Pandits and Vedic literature. I was very fortunate to first have the experience before I took a look at the literature because the translation of the literature is so limited. The translator’s understanding is rarely by virtue of their own direct experience, but simply an attempt to figure out what the literature was trying to say. Trying to emulate an inaccurate interpretation is, to say the least, unnatural and ineffective. It brings to mind the ‘taste of a strawberry’ analogy. No matter how much you study what strawberries taste like, the only way to know is to bite into a strawberry and have the experience for yourself. Because I spontaneously experienced these techniques for myself, I can teach them to you correctly. There is no attempt at interpretation. Rather, the literature was confirmation/validation of what I had already experienced.

Initially, the advanced techniques will be taught to the ashram people. Their experiences will determine how quickly I can roll out the techniques. Depending upon that, it could require six months or a couple of years or more. The plan is to offer an Advanced Technique Course this summer. Details will be sent soon in an email update. Please make a note of it, leave your calendar open, and do your meditation program regularly, for there will be prerequisites.

This is what we have all been waiting for! This summer, we will offer the first phase and based upon how things go with the ashram people, we will determine how many phases will be required to give the complete set of techniques I’m now planning to share. The techniques I can offer are unlimited, just as in a pharmacy, there seem to be an unlimited number of medications. I have and will continue to offer those techniques that will most rapidly facilitate your evolution.

See you this summer!!

They will be available to those who have been regular in their meditations for at least one year. The process has already begun with the ashram people and will become available to others in the future. I believe for many, now that the foundation has been laid, it will be as if the lights finally get turned on.

 

 

Q&A About People in Recovery

I received the following question:

“For people in recovery, a sense of spirituality and self, as well as an honest appraisal of conditioning that has obscured the self, seem to me to be essential. I wonder if you have any more thoughts on this?”

To which I respond:

“You are absolutely correct. In particular, the direct experience of deeper values of the self is profoundly healing in recovery. That is why our meditation can help tremendously.”

Don’t Try to Grasp the Ungraspable. Awaken to It.

Don't Try to Grasp the Ungraspable - Michael MamasI just published a new article on Medium.com. It begins:

Though we may all refer to it differently, everyone has some sense of universality. Some call it “morality,” others refer to it as “the family of humanity”. Some refer to that one thing that unifies us all as “God,” while others may think of it as the unified field. However we may think of it, we all share some sense of community or unification with humanity.

Even though that sense is universal, clearly our understanding of it varies greatly. There doesn’t seem to be a single explanation or understanding that satisfies everyone. However, there are some interesting perspectives that can provide us with some insight…

For Real Knowledge, Look Deeper than Facts

Facts Aren't Knowledge - Michael MamasEntrepreneur.com just published one of my recent articles. It begins:

“In the movie The Paper Chase, a Harvard law student boasted to professor Kingsfield about his photographic memory. Kingsfield told him that his photographic memory would not help him.

“Why? Because facts are only information. Our ability to put facts together is what makes us a person of knowledge. It is knowledge of a subject that enables us to deal with it effectively. To run your business successfully, you need to have knowledge of whatever your business is. But what are the components of knowledge, and what are its obstacles? Where do we look to find true knowledge, and how do we go about developing it for ourselves?”…
