Today we are here to give thanks to the Source of our Being, says Shunyamurti, the spiritual director of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. We give thanks to the harvest. We give thanks for the fact that nature . . . provides for us the food whereby we can continue our lives. And we must also give thanks for the community—whose cooperation allows the harvest to take place. So today we give thanks to the community, nature, and the Source from which all thanks spring. And despite the ...

"The odd thing," as Shunyamurti, the spiritual director of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica, observes, "is that people want more than anything to be seen, and yet they're terrified of being seen because they're afraid of what will be seen. And there's so much we want to hide, and yet we have hidden from ourselves that which is best in us." As Shunyamurti reminds us, our true nature is Satchitananda: Being, Awareness, and Bliss. "But we have somehow generally cut ourselves off from that ...

"There's a field called transpersonal psychology that's popular these days. But," reveals Shunyamurti, the spiritual guide of the Sat Yoga Institute, "it's kind of a misnomer because psychology deals with the personal. When you really get transpersonal, you are also transpsychological. . . . There is that which is trans or metapsychological within us—that's what we call the spiritual." And the first mistake that many people make on the spiritual path is identifying with the personal rather ...

Student Comment: You said earlier that the psychic space is curved toward liberation, but I actually thought that you were going to say the opposite, that it is curved away from liberation. That the space has been shaped by conditionings so that people don't want it, and yet now you're saying that that space has never been touched. "No its the superego that curves you away from that," explains Shunyamurti, spiritual guide of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. Using the example of the ...

"You know the trick in teaching a spiritual path is that people come from many different backgrounds, they're at many different levels . . . different phases of their journey. They have different existential concern, different questions, different doubts. And you cant speak in a way that will reach everyone in a group like this," explains Shunyamurti, the founder of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. If one speaks at the highest level, then it may appear to many as nonsense or irrelevant ...

"All of you have the Buddha-Nature," reveals Shunyamurti, spiritual guide of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. Depending on circumstance and setting, you might also be told you are Shiva, or you have Krishna-consciousness, or Christ-consciousness, or you're filled with the Ru'ach HaKodesh. "All the traditions are referring to the same Truth." But we must recognize that EVERYONE has the Buddha-Nature—not just our friends but also our enemies. And if we can do that, we will be liberated ...

Student Comment: When you mention magic and the development of souls towards spirituality, what came to mind was the magic of dreams, which gives you messages. And I understand that the message in a dream, coming from the Atman, its goal is to help you on your way. But I do have a problem with the interpretation of the dream because its the ego or the conscious mind that's trying to interpret it. Dream interpretation has always been an important pillar in spirituality, from the ancient ...
