Meditation Path To Enlightenment

Friday, September 28th, 2007

It is in experiencing what is here in this moment that you find unconditional love and happiness.

Unfortunately, the habit is to avoid this moment, thus creating stress and unhappiness.

Everyone is seeking the same thing. You can say either they are seeking happiness or to get out of their pain.

The thing about it is, like a fly caught in a spider web, the more you try to get out of your pain, the more stuck in the pain you become.

That is where desire is born. Where seeking is born. You look here and there to try and find a way out of your pain, to find happiness and love. Most people are not even aware of their pain. Yet if you look, you will see how you are constantly seeking something to take you out of this moment, to keep you from experiencing what is here. There is a discomfort here, the need to be distracted by something in order to feel good. But you have gotten used to this discomfort, and you have gotten really good at avoiding it. The main way you avoid it is through thinking.

There are layers and layers of mental activity on top of that pain, there are a million tasks and distractions that keep you from ever becoming consciously aware of that pain.

If you really look at why you do the things you do, it is that they give you some sort of pleasure or relief. You want to win the race because it feels good for a short time that you won. You want an icecream because while you are eating that ice cream, there is a certain amount of pleasure. You may even want to be angry at someone, because you get a certain amount of relief by focusing that anger at someone.

If you are bored, you seek any means to overcome that boredom. Because all boredom really is, is the state where you have run out of ways to distract yourself from this moment.

So you seek to fulfill desires. First it may be instant gratification desires like sex and drugs. Then there are material desires, or desires for success, to find a relationship. Then desires to improve yourself.

Ultimately, you come to the conclusion that none of these things fulfill you. So you have spiritual desires. You want enlightenment. You enter meditation to get bliss or to be free from your pain.

All of this is the natural progression of the ego. It is how it is supposed to be.

But then you come here, you come to a place that can teach you true meditation, as a path to enlightenment. As a way to be free from your pain, to fill you with bliss.

And you find bliss for a time, you find freedom from pain to an extent temporarily. But still, although better than everything else, it still does not fulfill you.

So if you want to be free from all of this seeking, from this pain, if you really want to experience true unconditional happiness, if you really want to learn true meditation as a path to enlightenment read this closely:

1. Realize, that there is pain, there is unhappiness, discomfort. Most people never stop and experience what they are avoiding in this moment. They say “I am happy.” Yet they are constantly seeking something to fulfill them. Just in seeing that you are looking to be fulfilled means you are not fulfilled now. This very realization will bring your great freedom.

Most people do not believe that it is possible to be happy and blissful. They do not believe what all of the meditation masters have said and that your natural state is peace, bliss and love. That it is possible to live in such a state.

Because if you really look in this moment, if you stop all of your action in this moment, and experience what is here in this moment, without getting lost in your thinking, you will probably find peace. This is good.

But then if you stay with it, you will feel the pain you are always avoiding, and very quickly, you will get lost in your thinking again to avoid feeling what is here in this moment.

So you have to be willing to feel what is here. To see that in every moment, you are avoiding this moment, you are resisting experiencing this moment. To become aware of this habitual resistance is great freedom already.

2. Second thing to do is don’t call what is here unhappiness or pain, simply allow yourself to feel it completely. Accept yourself completely as you are without defining it, judging it. Forget the mind all together. Just allow yourself to feel what is here in this moment as sensation. Notice the sensations you feel of existing in this moment. Surrender to how you are, without trying to change it, improve it or define it. Just feel and breathe.

3. In the beginning, use a technique to help keep you present. Because you will get lost in your thinking again and again. Getting lost in your thoughts is simply the habit to avoid being present and experiencing what is here. It can be as easy as noticing the feeling of your breath moving in and out of your nose. Or silently repeating “I am” with every breath, keeping your attention on this feeling of “I am” or being, beyond the mind.

4. You need enlightened presence. When you sit with someone who has mastered the meditation path all the way to enlightenment, their enlightened presence washes through you, cleaning out your energy channels and awakening that same enlightened presence in you. The easiest way to do this is to meditate The Calling CDs for Spiritual Awakening. Simply by listening to the CD, you are given what is known as shaktipat/deeksha/grace. It awakens your natural state in you in the same way as sitting with an enlightened teacher.

5. In accepting yourself as you are, in allowing yourself to experience what is here in this moment, you naturally become aware, present. Meditating with the Calling CDs spoken about above will make this process very easy and provide a lot of bliss and peace along the way to make it a delicious journey.

6. Be responsible. Stop blaming others for your anger or sadness. Stop hurting others, stop seeking justice or to be right.

In order to awaken to your true nature, you must simply experience what life gives you. This is karma. Allow life to be as it is instead of constantly trying to change everyting and everyone around you. In being present in this, without fighting it, you move very quickly into high states of awareness.

7. Intensify the awareness. Become a witness to your thoughts, really, in every moment in meditation, be absolutely present. Sometimes it is necessary to give up the bliss to be present, at some point, bliss also must be surrendered, so a greater freedom and bliss emerges.

8. You, as a person, as the knower, the wanter, the doer, the one in control, you as an ego is the problem, is the suffering. The more you feed this ego and empower it, the more you will separate yourself from the love that you are. So practice humility. Become aware of how you are always trying to be right, to know everything, to be noticed, to be loved, to be accepted by others. Become aware of the ego’s need to be all of these things. In the awareness of it, you move beyond it.

Beyond ego, beyond mind identification, there is simply awareness, more and more subtle levels of awareness. This is what you truly are, this is where freedom lies.

9. In two words, be present. Completely be here in this moment.

This is true meditation, the path to enlightenment. It is about giving up your fantasies and your memories and living in the now. It is about bringing your attention back to this moment again and again every time you get caught up in your thoughts.

Then life gets really beautiful. Everything begins to be taken care of. You become happy, loving, peaceful, blissful. Not as an ego. But as bliss itself, as love itself. You become a channel for the divine. This is true meditation, the path to enlightenment.

Blessings,

Transcending the Ego

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

The ego existsthrough control.

As long as you feel

you can control your experience,

through defining, judging, changing, improving

or resisting

this moment,

the ego is strong.

But in being aware of your experience

in this moment

instead of trying to

control it,

you find yourself

in unchartered territory.

It feels freeing,

yet, it also brings up great fear.

What would happen if you simply

observed this moment

without trying to control it?

What are you

without your desires, goals

definitions, opinions and future fantasies?

The ego cannot exist in awareness,

only in control can it exist.

This is why all of the religions

talk about faith.

To have faith that you can enter

the mystery of this moment

and not be annihilated.

That you can give up control,

and experience this moment fully

and you will still exist.

Beyond the ego,

beyond this individual experience

of separation.

Call it God,

or the mystery,

or consciousness.

There must be faith

that when you move past what you know,

there is something else there

and that it is loving

and will take care of everything.

This is one reason why

enlightened presence is so important.

Listening to CDs like The Calling

awaken this bliss in you,

so that you are not afraid to

enter into the mystery of this moment.

You feel blissful

and are happy to dive into the bliss.

and in this you are free.

In this you really feel alive.

Blessings.

Spiritual Awareness: Too Many Words About Silence

Friday, September 14th, 2007

People often show me books and ask ‘what do you think about this book?”  And I say “Not worth reading.”  And then they say “Kip is very opiniated about most books.”  But didn’t they ask my opinion?

 Words are only here to point.  So much said about absolutely nothing.  A whole book written about nothing and how I attained nothing.  Still, spritual teachers keep writing them and spiritual seekers keep reading them.  Looking to get something, learn something, attain something.  Discuss it with their friends about the latest path to enlightenment.

 I am going to write a spiritual book.  I will give you the whole print of it right now for free.  And I am not making fun of these books.  But here’s my book.  The title is “Shut up.”

When you open it up it says “Sit down, close your eyes and shut up.”

Then that’s it.  You pay 15 bucks.  If you want more you can read the second book, it’s called “Why haven’t You Shut Up?”

 Because you exist as mind.  And so you try to seek freedom from mind from the perspective of mind.  But it is mind you are trying to be free from.  You are trying to get out of the constant noise that you keep identifying with.  At some point, you have to simply close your eyes and be still.  Then the journey starts.  It starts here and ends here. 

Truly, it is not about shutting up.  But that is what eventually happens.  Your only move is to be still and experience what is here, without getting caught up in mind.  Thoughts can arise, visions can arise, sounds can arise, emotions can arise, sensations can arise,

yet you remain here, in this moment, as this moment.  You remain as awareness itself.

First you might be able to stay here for half a second.

Then 2 seconds and three seconds.

Then you will see, here is what you are.  That all of this coming and going chasing this thought and that feeling is just stress, insanity.  Waste of energy.  Yet here, there is the constant flow of energy.

 That is why I make music with the shaktipat sound technology to awaken this in you.  Because with music, you aren’t learning anything.  It is a tool to help you awaken, not more words to talk about awakening but to give you a direct experience of awakening. 

I am not here claim anything.  I am nothing.  God is everything.  Consciousness is everything.  I rest as the divine flow.  I can’t read books.  Simply too many words about what cannot be understood by the mind. 

I simply want to point.  Sit down, close your eyes, shut up and experience what is here in this moment.  Be aware of whatever is here in this moment.  Listen to the Calling www.bliss-music.com/thecalling.htm if you don’t have it already.  It will awaken this awareness in you.  Not that you are not that already.  But there is so much noise on top of it, awareness must be awaken, shaken up.

 I wish you much peace and silence.

 Blessings,

Kip

Blog Deeksha

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Deeksha, on the web is turning into exactly what is was meant not to be.  It is basically a form of shaktipat, to move you beyond your mind and allow you to experience a greater truth of what is.

Yet, it seems everyone on the web is trading insults, defending and offending, being holier than though or cynical and negative about deeksha.  For some people, deeksha changes their lives, for others, it does nothing.  But more so, everyone has an opinion about it and this has taken away the truth of what it is all about.  It is about getting you beyond your opinions, beyond your mind to experience your true nature.

And if you experience that, you won’t have an opinion any longer.

For any of you that are confused and are looking for some personal experience with deeksha, here I go.

 Most of you know that I create music that washes you in enlightened energetic, helping you to move quickly into high states of meditation.  I am always doing more and more research in how to make this sound technology more powerful, more effective, so eventually, you can put on the CD and dissappear into oneness and be done with all of it!

Well I was doing research and came upon this man named Sri Kalki.  There was a free video of him and his wife to download so I downloaded it.  In watching the video I was amazed.  I had never experienced someone with such a powerful enlightened energetic from a video.  I kept playing the video over and over and was dumfounded. 

I read more, heard about this thing called deeksha which I had no belief in whatsoever.  But still, this guy on the video talking was blowing me away energetically.  So I searched around and found someone about an hour away from me that gave deeksha.  I wrote them and asked if I could have a private one, as I had no interest in doing a workshop, I just wanted to experience this deeksha thing.  They agreed to give me one.

It was a nice suburbian couple sitting there in room in their house.  They spoke a lot of stuff which I ignored for the most part, as I was more amazed at the enlightened presence in this room.

I don’t care about words, or teachings, I go by energetic.  And sitting in this room with this couple, there was quite a presence there.  Whether it came from them or the room I do not know.

They made me do these meditations, which were more exercises than meditations, but if that was what I had to do to find out what this deeksha was, I was happy to do it.

When they finally got to the deeksha part, I experienced an intense kriya just before.  My body went into convulsions and weird sounds were coming out of my throat mouth.  After about 10 minutes, they subsided.

They put their hands on my head one at a time.  And it did not feel like they gave me something like shaktipat, but rather, took a heaviness away off the top of my head.  And I was instantly in a sublime state of bliss, I felt weightless, full of love.

I had been with many enlightened masters, had attained high states of awareness, realized the self, yet, these 2 people could do wonders just putting their hands on my head.

I had another a few days later.  And then had a phone deeksha with Raniji in the US.  I wrote to her afterwards

“Thank you so much for the incredible Phone Diksha.    I love you with all my heart. I never knew there could be so much divine love over a phone call. Jane and Theo from New Zealand asked me to tell them how the phone Diksha was.  Here is the best I could say:

This has been one of the most blissful days in my entire life.  But even
that does not say anything.  You asked if I would email you how the
phone diksha was.  The best description I could give is to cry and smile and
tell you how much I love you.  Even that does not do it but you know it
anyway, what I cannot say, what is always said and I am saying now.”

It was then I signed up to go to the 21 day course.

The first day of the course, we walked in to the hall and they splashed blessed water on my head and I was instantly crying because I was overflowing in love.  Yet I had no idea why.

Most of the 21 day course, I didn’t enjoy myself.   I just wanted to go home.   I found myself annoyed with everyone around me, I missed my dog.  Yet there were certain things that happened that were quite profound, which I won’t go into here.

I will say when I had darshan with Amma, I have never experienced sitting with someone with such presence.  It was as though I was sitting with God.  And I have sat with many fully enlightened masters, but this was something completely different.  I cannot begin to describe the experience.

 It wasn’t really until about a month after I returned that I really noticed the impact the 21 day course had.  Experiencing visions of the divine mother, experiencing the presence of the divine mother that would make me cry and laugh, energy so strong I couldn’t stand up.  And then intense catharsis, purification.  Most of the time just sitting and the energy blowing through me with such force I could not say anything or do anything.

 The 10 day course was the opposite of the 21 day course.  I went into extraordinary states which you can read about here. www.bliss-music.com/cosmic-consciousness.htm

I love Amma and Bhagavan in a way that I cannot make someone else understand.  It is not an egotistical love, it is not their bodies, not their teachings, nor what they do, nor their organization that I love.  It is the essence of what they are and what I am.  This essence is here all of the time.   It is this essence that I call Amma and Bhagavan or any other name that is what I love.  It consumes me, it purifies me, it takes care of me.  It is this essence that I serve, that I live for, it is that which I am in truth.  It is that which destroys the untruth, that breaks down the illusion of separateness in every moment .  It burns away hate and fear so that the essence as love and peace remains. 

It has made me a better person to others, more loving and decent.  At the same time, I dissappear more and more into this essence.  It is challenging and blissful and it leaves me without anything to define or judge.  Just immersion and decency and loving.

 Such essence has no politics, no beliefs, no members, no teachings.  It cannot be argued about or judged.  It is beyond all such things.  It is beyond any sense of “I.”  I do not consider myself part of the Deeksha organization nor against their organization.  I do not consider myself a deeksha giver nor not a deeksha giver.  I give deeksha to those that want it.  Not by doing but it happens.

I have no interest in recommending you do the 21 day course or not.  For everything said about all of it is all opinion, useless opinion.  Whether you believe it is a scam or it is the second coming, it is a belief.   Whether you want to save the world or damn it in cynisism it is all nonsense.   I do not believe that deeksha will save the world nor do I disbelieve it.  It is a nice goal, a nice intention and I hope they succeed. 

 It is the essence that everyone misses in their hatred or self righteousness.  It is the essence you miss by having an opinion, by taking a side.  It is the essence you miss by trying to create it to be an organization or a cult.  None of it is true.  There is no organization, there is no Amma and Bhagavan separate from you.  If you go to the 21 day course, that happens.   It is not about getting anything, it is about it being part of your journey.

The most I can tell you is I am happy I did the 21 day course and the 10 day course.   The Calling CDs are a part of a result of this new power and they are already taking hundreds of people into deeper states of consciousness.  You can check out this link for more info  www.bliss-music.com/thecalling.htm

But what the 21 day course did and the 10 day course did was take away more of what was not real.   Most of the people that say “I am already enlightened, I cannot go any deeper, there is nowhere to go” are stuck in their concept about enlightenment, stuck in their roles as being a teacher, as being enlightened.  I know I was.

In my experience, there is always more purification.  Someone once sent me a list of definitions about enlightenment.  There was one from a zen master that stated enlightenment is when there is a permanant connection to God.  And in that connection there is forever a constant purification, a constant flow of the divine destroying any sense of individual existance so all that remains is God. 

The moment you think you know something, figured it out, discovered the truth, have something to agree or disagree, know you are stuck in the mind. 

So many opinions and judgments, arguments.  All of them distracting you from this moment, distracting you from what deeksha can do, and that is remove the false and reveal the truth of what you are. 

Amma and Bhagavan are you.  You are Amma and Bhagavan.  You judge them because you judge yourself.  It is all one.  The sooner you give up the idea that opinion matters, the sooner you will find joy.

The Truth about Enlightenment

Friday, September 7th, 2007

This might be too soon for this kind of write up but what the heck.

Everyone, including myself always talk about bliss and peace.  Because that is what everyone wants, yes?  But the bliss and peace that meditation offers, although far better than what you imagine, is still, not what you imagine it to be.

The ego wants pleasure, an egostical experience of peace and bliss, like how you feel on drugs or during sex or when everyone is cheering your name.

But such pleasure is still limiting, because it arises temporarily from the perspective of the individual, selfish perspective.  The ego perspective is not bad, but it is a suffering.  The very perspective of ego/separation is a suffering.

So in meditation, through whatever practice you do, you move beyond your mental turmoil, you move beyond your emotional turmoil, you move beyond your physical turmoil, and then what is left?  Love peace and bliss, right?

 WRONG!

 Sorry about that, what is left is pain, often felt in the solar plexus. The core feeling of separation.  A feeling of despair.  It is in surrendering to this pain, in allowing yourself to experience it that you transcend this individual selfish perspective. 

It is in humility, in having all of your preconceived ideas about how you are and what you know taken to pieces that you find peace.

Then, there is true peace.  Because there is nothing left to fear or hold on to.

But the good news is there is tons of peace and bliss the whole way through.  But it comes and goes.  And if you try and hold on to it, then you suffer, you get stuck and can’t move beyond yourself. 

You must allow yourself to experience whatever is arising, without blame, without trying to change it, resist it, judge it, define it, analyze it.  It is just to surrender to whatever is there.  Then grace takes care of it.  Consciousness itself does the work.

The true of experience of peace and bliss and love is unconditional.  It is there for no reason.  And it is there in the absence of who you think you are.  It is there in the absence of this individual ego perspective.

 There must be perserverance.  To continuously allow yourself to experience what is here and in this the giving up indvidual control.

And there must be grace, some sort of enlightened energetic like you will experience from the Calling CDs http://www.bliss-music.com/thecalling.htm or Ocean Euphoric www.bliss-music.com/oceaneuphoric.htm  and/or to sit with a fully enlightened teacher on a regular basis, one where you feel their presence.

The good news is, the moment you are present in this moment, the moment you allow yourself to fully be here, you are instantly at peace.  It is that easy.  Then you really experience life instead of avoiding it.

 I wish everyone much peace and bliss,

Blessings,

Spiritual Enlightenment – How To Live In a Nondual State

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Most people look to get something.
To seek happiness, pleasure.
To acquire knowledge.

But it is this very wanting and seeking
that causes you suffering.

The very desire for life to be different than it is
causes you suffering.

To try and change your thoughts and say
“I am happy how it is now”
does nothing.

For it is not the thought
it is not even the desire,
it is the one that desires,
that claims the thoughts
that is the entire problem.

This you that separates yourself
from everything else.

To be free,
you must simply be aware
of what is here.

To notice what is here
in this moment.

There are thoughts arising,
there are sensations arising,
there is this experience of now.

To accept this moment as it is,
to allow yourself to experience it completely,
to be aware of the thoughts arising rather
than becoming the thoughts,
then this “you” is no more.

The moment you are completely present,
completely allowing of yourself to be as you are,
you are no more.

Because this “you” exists
only as a resistance to this moment.
It exists to control the moment,
change the moment,
judge the moment.

But as soon as you
are in complete acceptance
of what is here.

The resistance is gone,
you as you know yourself to be is gone,
and there simple is.

Life is as it is,
awareness and is-ness
is the same.

No separation,
no resistance,
no mind.

You are freedom itself
awareness itself
being, consciousness, love.

You cannot know this with the mind.
It must be awakened in you.

I have a simple way to do this

The Art of Zen Meditation

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

“The easiest method
to experience peace
is to simply allow yourself
to feel what you are feeling
in this moment
as sensation.
 
Not to define the sensations
describe them
nor judge them,
but to feel them as sensation
without words.
 
If you rest in this awareness,
then you are not in your mind,
you are not involved with thoughts at all.
 
You are experiencing yourself
beyond thought.
 
If you notice,
you will see that
at a subtle level,
you are constantly resisting
feeling this moment.
 
There is a pain
or discomfort
or something too vulnerable
about experiencing this moment.
 
This avoidance of now
is stress
and it manifests itself
as desire, fear,
or the habit
to be lost in your thinking.
 
The more you can simply
allow yourself to feel
the sensations
in this moment,
the more you transcend
mind and individual separation,
 
moving into stillness
where there is a free flow of energy.
 
This is as far as you can go,
it is the energy that does the rest.
 
Blessings,
 
Kip”
