And so ... then left me .. Then it happened again: While I was blessed to watch the sky from the clouds world has seen fit to fall on top of him again. Preparato.Almeno This time I was in some respects. I had already explained at the time some key issues that you find yourself having to define the first time what happens to you when you leave your first love, the greatest just because it's the first: you never had a disappointment and you do not think the 'you, that you can not succeed on her and the investment is equal to infinity plus one, you're just pure love, once you understand that this thing can end you're finally become disillusioned man or for the purposes of this I want to understand a term or the other.
When someone decides to cut and you do not Helen is interesting to note that it is inevitable to go through the same psychological dynamics of dying: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Below are the most common reactions step by step commented:
Denial " come back to me ..." or worse " can not live without me ." It 's the case to point out ... there is nobody in the world that can not be without you, whoever is able to be alone and you're going to be living proof. Anger "is a bitch ! all that I gave ! what I did for her ! "Etc. etc. etc., this is the moment when you're with a friend shut up because you can not do more to hear your voice complaining. settlement " But in the end I also understand ... wrong ..." and here I had to do penalty, friends would tell you or tell you to pull out the balls, they know perfectly well that if there were no Criminal Code would be in hospital with her face swollen with slaps. Depression: anger, denial and bargaining smoothies and left to macerate until it go bad ..., a gulp, and you do eat the stomach completely losing strength. Acceptance " but it was better that way ... 'NOT' TRUE! but finally you're out, the cool is that you're far from dead even start living again.
So ..-. So I left. While I was sitting in the clouds to fish in a sea of \u200b\u200bstars to give her another dream I slipped crumble to the ground after an endless flight lasted a moment but then I'm still alive and in the end I can say, "but it was better so ... " , And now that I mezzanine floor of the new jet in the love that sea of \u200b\u200bstars, who knows that the dream that I caught was not just that, and it belonged to me instead of her.
I'll try, I never stop, muse who bring meaning to my nature, a woman, more often than not an invention, a feeling even more difficult to grasp and to hold and hold him, like stepping into a bubble, a fantasy world where even a sigh little more than mild dissolves everything.
I am a romantic. I'm not the last but we are few, confused, weak, hidden, replaced by other values.
I am a romantic, in difficulty.

Love. The sheer power of words is deadly, has tried to pronounce it, alone, alone, it's amazing the amount of sensation that can evoke. And evoke the right word to use because it is used in magic spells and love is magic and is the only real connection to the magic: the rest is imagination that we find in fairy tales in books and the like. Write love in logical terms is neither easy nor possible. At least for now. There are scholars who dissect since the birth of psychoanalysis to the subject: between those who believe that everything revolves about sex and who is more just love being loved and not be dependent on demonstration of the transition from adolescent to adult. Today we live in a very complicated love and how I see it because of its: contamination. It 'true that today we pause to consider for letting go, we wonder whether it's worth it, if we give up a part of what we have built up to that point in our lives and put all the risk of losing everything. It seems that we are all in a large casino and instead we're all in a big mess. It was not always so! and I can not tell if the first was better or worse. So today it is as if we were all detained something, as if we were on a ledge of a building in a plan and we were there to assess the height that separates us from the ground and how we might hurt jumping. The truth is that the building plans they may have one, one thousand, one hundred thousand and may not even be crashing into the ground on which the fact is that until we throw it we'll never know, the fact is' that if we throw ourselves we are still flying . I believe this is that men and women should think, I'm sure this is a common point on which we can get along and that everything else should no longer count. Good is more or less everything I have to say making a survey on what I think is the love today. I admit that is a bit 'too little, but what I've written so far for me is a plus that you could easily miss. I prefer to stay within boundaries purely poetic to give vent to my way of living love. ...
Lights off E 'this There are There Everything and anything live in the same instant I fall and flight
live and dead
sublimate skin contact as a door' There is no other dimension
abandoned imperfections with our bodies E 'Solo soul It' s a thought 's just beautiful ' s just pure 's just love E' and all this is just a kiss
I realize that I still deal with a sensitive topic and I want to reaffirm the strangeness of the Blog policy. I have my thoughts, dreams and other times just wanted to write and tell something to share. In this case carry a thought that I felt strong and I began to write while I was sitting in the subway in front of four faces that many would find it shady, or other annoying sitting in the wrong place where there were others like me and see a different world, a '... My opportunity is not a criticism and I do not feel better, I understand people's fears ... short, underground, music in the ears, wandering thoughts, four migrants in front of me and think, "have a face so good. They are Moroccans? Mah .. who knows exactly where they are, I seem to good people and it makes me want to get up, shake his hand, know And let me tell their story, their country ... " think it would be a little 'how to travel even I realize that it would certainly be a trip if it is understood in the purest sense of the word: experience. I recently attended a session held by a friend, topic: "Responsible Tourism", I had never heard of before, the concept was foreign to me because just reading the definition of what it is about me realized that the philosophy behind already belonged to me, well, I think it must first be taken from our homes and even more from within us considering our mind just as a place from which to move for travel to other destinations and erase the boundaries that delineate its limits. If I think it's amazing how with a simple handshake and a chat we could get rich without spending a dime. I realize now that I am at home what I'm telling it would be much more engaging and exciting for the reader if indeed I did, if indeed I had been raised and now instead of speculating on an event without a follow-up telling their own real stories really. More the more I realize that I am the first to have limits, and despite my awareness I can not trespass, but my fear is, is not shy and you can never tell where I will bring these thoughts that I have told and have found a door and a path to move their first steps ... Thanks to all and good evening.
Want to tell a story of when I was a kid. 'm not a wealthy family so first to pay for higher than would have been my first summer vacation alone I had to find a job. By asking various friends I was introduced to a person who would later became one of the best friends in my life. His name was George and the painter, now in retirement. I started working for him in the summer of 1991 and every summer after school for years to come, thus granting the money to go on vacation the end of each school year. So I was full of energy and put strength, passion and commitment in everything I did. George of intelligent person that he was (he was in fifth grade but do not think I have ever known a person more intelligent than him) as noted was quick to learn and how much effort and I would always put us both in money and compliments. Finite five years of school I worked for him a year whole waiting to leave for Naja and then our working relationship had the opportunity to become perfect. I never ask to go home, glad I stopped in the evening to wash the brush and make it right even if it was past eight hours, I always tried to do a little more and certainly did not do it for the money but it is a that he repaid me a lot and more importantly: I loved him. There was mutual respect, a respect that was not ever hear me or he used to pay me for anything suspicious. Within a few months my wages increased several times and I learned more and more and in a short time became independent, so he could manage more contracts simultaneously. I do not want it long, and our friendship still lasts as long as we worked together is a beautiful memory I carry with me all my life.
I wanted to tell you this experience because then who knows what absurd thought I decided to change and work for a multinational company, mind you well with the same enthusiasm, the same commitment and the same power but unfortunately with the same expectations of my previous experience . Needless to say I was disappointed, it took me time to understand the relationship between employer and worker would never be the same as I had with George. I spent years believing and I just threw them. Large companies think that just being part of a brand to give you that satisfaction that makes you work harder but that does not make you ask that makes you give, but is not as though some fall for the logic of the brand will never be really happy, really satisfied, truly satisfied until it will establish a relationship of genuine mutual respect and trust between employee and employer. Multinationals such as one in which they state does not understand that they themselves could get a lot more thinking in terms of empathy and emotional and moral laws and not of elastic stretched to the limit to keep breaking.
In this post I do not question, just wanted to tell you a story and his remarks by inviting you to do with your, as always, but even more to think to keep alive the consciousness certainly deserve more money, certainly with respect, and of course you should be fine if we are truly the best you give of yourself without constraints but also with joy and contentment. I greet you happy to have retraced his mind the moments spent with an employer, with a wonderful person with a great friend, living proof that the three things together can coexist.
Monday December 14 2009 Hello everyone, started my blog today, the post title "Number One" refers to the competition and not the first time I write. We are always in the race and thus stressed, tense, discouraged, suspicious. My question is: should we? The answer seems obvious and indeed it is: No! But it is not absolute and no response should be extended: No, in these conditions. Competitiveness is also good and should be rewarded, but we must always ask what is the reason why we are in competition. learned to put on the scale that we achieve and what we lose and we will notice that often what we get and what weight did not lose much weight, but not seen. Ask yourself if it's appropriate to wake up stressed, to hate the people who even know, to have dreams that are simply a continuation of the work day, instead of living irritated GET loved a better place, a cell phone, a car in installments, a TV that most of the time you and deceives working full time to convince you that still do not have enough and even convinces you that you do not have unnecessary things you need. Do not be ingannare.Vi just wondering if all that we need, not want to deploy this blog by any political faction. What I say, the questions that I relate to all and I propose only to discuss it. The solutions? try to propose ...
If the practice of yoga has been known and it must be appreciated in the West also Swami Rama, one of the earliest masters of this ancient discipline to meet in the 70 American scientists to Menninger Foundation, so that they come to see the effect of meditation on the human mind and its siddhi.
Under the incredulous eyes of this extraordinary yogi Western scientists were able to stop the heart at will, raise or lower the temperature of the body, producing different types of brain waves on command and even to practice even psychokinesis. But Swami Rama was a lot more than this authentic charismatic leadership, the author of over 40 books in its very existence has summarized the characteristics of the higher Himalayan yoga tradition, helping to spread the message around the world.

Book trailer for "The Open Secret - Everything is "The secret revealed
E 'available online and in bookstores a few weeks the new book by Tony Parsons. This extraordinary author presents for the first time on the Italian market with a book that will clear up all the myths about enlightenment with grace and simplicity.
Years ago, walking in a park, Consciousness recognize itself through the body-mind called Tony Parsons. It was not done nothing to bring that recognition and above all it was clear that there was no one who was testifying. There was only presence, a presence that was always there, watching every moment of life that form, including attempts to rediscover a secret that seemed hidden and carried with him a sense of loss of a paradise lost in childhood.
The story of Tony Parsons in "The Open Secret - Everything is" is told with extraordinary simplicity, humanity and depth, bringing the reader to recognize what actually lives through our form, our true self. For the first time this world-famous bestseller comes out in Italian, after which since 1995 has received a positive reaction of thousands of people interested in awakening. In the Italian version of the book goes along with "All There Is," a collection of transcripts of meetings held in recent years in various parts of Europe. Tony
not only speaks with incredible wit and intelligence, but is perceived by his words, clearly, the fragrance of true freedom and true unconditional love that come through from those who have fully realized the Self. With no compromise for the mind and the spiritual ego, Tony speaks with humor and grace of a true master of Advaita, even if it departs completely from the plate arises from the guru and friend, thereby nullifying any illusion of apparent separation.
His message is simple, clear and direct: there is no one in the body-mind called "me", there is the individual, but one who lives through self and how each form. Everything is the Divine that manifests itself and nowhere hand, there is something that is separate. Every spiritual quest is completely useless, because it keeps the idea that there is something to find something lost. Nothing is lost, the obvious secret was always ready to be discovered and the call of God because this is happening constantly, you just recognize it. And as Tony points out, nothing can be done about it, because the invitation is caught when it is time for this to happen.
The spiritual quest ends in fact, not because something has been found, but because it recognizes that there is no one who can find anything. This recognition is beyond the ability of the imaginary person happens to grace; a grace which, Tony states, is always available.
This is one of the shares of the most radical message of Advaita and the purest to be found in the so-called spiritual scene. Tony Parsons does not deny the characteristics of the individual, rather invites us to celebrate one's uniqueness as a form, acknowledging at the same time as there is no one who lives. The form is only witnessed by this Self that observes everything that appears and disappears. Our nature is therefore a part originally nothing that is everything.
This, says Tony, what we call wisdom is combined with love.
Conference sull'Advaita and contemporary spirituality
In recent years, the Advaita Vedanta (nonduality) collected 's interest of researchers not only standing, but also people new to the world of spirituality and meditation. This was possible thanks to partners who could respond to the questions and issues typical of our era, as the need to find balance and peace in daily life often chaotic and stressful. is the theme of a conference organized by ' Light Association and publisher Laris to be held November 2 to 21 at the Auditorium in San Sisto Via Carlo Alberto Bergamo (Colognola district).
These items are of modern masters like Ramesh Balsekar , Tony Parsons and others who although in line with the tradition of Advaita Vedanta, speak a Western language and approach are related with a non-religious and not philosophical fundamental questions about life and ourselves.
No gradual process, no state to be achieved, no purification required. The truth that every spiritual seeker search, the answer to the question "Who am I?" In fact this is already 100% but is ignored by becoming identified with the body-mind with the ego. The fact that teachers of Advaita indicate that awareness is what we are observing this question. The answer to this eternal question is I 'that just shows every so a, an "I" which is pure consciousness, devoid of any attribute or quality and therefore able to detect any occurrence of any possible quality, both ostensibly inner and outer. In recognition of this identity of ours, this original nature of our Being, the false identity dissolves. What is the ego dissolves, or the concept of being a separate body-mind, a researcher spiritual, or more generally an individual. In other words the answer to the question "Who am I?" door at the end not only of research but the researcher himself.
Enlightenment or awakening is therefore this realization, namely that there is a researcher, but only as an action research happens in the void of Being. Thus ends the search, not because it receives a conclusion, but because they recognize that it is located, continues and ends in that 'I' eternal truth that is sought.
The conference will also attend Bodhi AVAS , awakened teacher who shares the recognition of the self for over 40 years with seminars and meetings held in Europe, the United States and Canada. It will be possible for participants to ask questions directly to the vision of Advaita AVAS.

The old school warrior "Katayama Hoki Ryu Hoshino He is one of the most prestigious traditions among those who, although having originated in the Tokugawa period, have been handed down to this day. Complete method of combat, use of the dominant class of Bush, has suffered during lives of her centuries a gradual transformation of the technical heritage. The evolution of the school, is based on the original records preserved and studies on them. Telling the story dell'Hoki Ryu means looking at the stories of two families belonging to it are closely linked: the founder of Katayama Hoki no kami Fujiwara Hisayasu Hoshino and Kumamoto (Kyushu), which for centuries has been the leadership of teaching.
In a simple, ordinary and direct Bodhi AVAS shares a message that it is the same as any other teacher, or what you are is Consciousness, that lives through all forms.
averse to any kind of spiritual hierarchy typical of the traditional master-disciple relationship, AVAS disassemble any kind of label you put your mind on the word light, making this event so extraordinary is available and accessible for anyone who is sincerely interested in doing. This master of Wales, but of Indian origin, shows that the lighting is going on in mass as the only possible answer to the suffering and sense of separation. A short
AVAS will be present in Italy with a series of meetings in Milan, Turin and Bergamo and a retreat later this month on Lake Garda.
Here is a brief excerpt of an interview that AVAS has released to coincide with the release of the series of Laris Advaita Vedanta, which will soon author. ___________________________________________
Question - "What is Truth? Many people seem to have achieved the" truth ", but often they say something very different ... there is a truth?
AVAS - What Truth never changes is all that exists is in a state of constant change, nothing is ever the same twice, but this is where everything changes, in itself, immutable. What is Truth is immutable. The human experience is capable to know the existence of the change because the One, who experiences life through and in the human form, is if unchanged, is the Lord himself.
You can not reach you the truth and this truth, what is unchangeable, the Eternal. Truth, therefore, not the other way, ready to be reached. You do not need a change in time to see what one is always already what you was looking for.
she who is experiencing this creation called life, that its action is occurring, it is always the same. This one is immutable and therefore it is the Truth.
Question - My mind speaks constantly judging everything that case, comparing and so on. I tried various types of practices and meditations to stop the mind, but beyond the short moments of silence I could not silence her. What can I do? Lighting the mind is always silent?
AVAS - Want a quiet mind comes from the mind, memory, arises from the intuition that silence is what is more natural.
We know intuitively that this silence is due to our childhood memory of a time where we saw the world through silent eyes without judgments, without a feeling of being separated from what was seen. Sometimes there was me and What a sight, just the one.
This memory, which triggers the desire to be silent, be silent himself, comes from the fact that intuitively we know that silence is where the mind, in our early years, he retired, after having done the work that was required at the time. The silence is what we intuitively know to be.
The mind is an instrument of our true nature, but because of the condition has been led to believe to be the master. When the mind recognizes again that which precedes it, then it happily obedient. It therefore appears only when the prevailing circumstances require it to become active and then, again, returns idle silence that is the source.
All meditations taught and then learned, are mind are based on memory, with the intention on the part of the mind to be in control of the activity that silence is the mind. E 'for this reason they require effort, which then takes the deliberate activation of the mind. Meditation intentional, that is the desire to stop the activities of the mind, comes from the mind, comes from the non-acceptance of what it is. Too
focus on the mind, as if it were a problem, leads to being in trouble with that activity which is known as mind. The mind goes to
rest when it is recognized that this is prior to the action of what we call mind. Question-What 's acceptance?
AVAS-acceptance and surrender, a surrender of the mind that seeks to develop a way to get to not mind.
This certainly can not be done by the mind itself, if it is the mind that seeks to surrender the mind, this again will be an action of the mind. When acceptance happens is the mind has seen its limits and recognizes this as a fact. The limit is different for each of us. Sometimes the yield happens suddenly, perhaps intuition is most predominant other times a bit happening 'at a time in a longer period, but when it happens just happens, it is not something one can do and no one can plan prepared earlier.
If you are a someone who gives up, then there is the desire to have a result, which clearly is a bargain not to surrender. When there is surrender, there is no one who makes it is an action of conscience. " __________________________
Perhaps the word ego is one of the most used and abused words in the spiritual. Often used without really dwell on what it really means.
In this excerpt from the book "No more confusion" Ramesh Balsekar-the great Indian sage who died recently in Mumbai, describes precisely what the ego, which is a concept with which consciousness itself identifies.
The ego is therefore not an entity that has to die, but only activity in the conscience, idea. In reality, what we are is what is observed and therefore this concept is already totally free from it.

L 'Infamous EGO
There is nothing but Consciousness. To its original state, Consciousness - Reality or God, the Absolute, the Void, as you call it - is not aware. Consciousness at rest is not aware of itself. Become aware of its existence only when it rises suddenly thought "I am". This "I Am" is the impersonal sense of being aware, it is the moment when consciousness becomes conscience at rest in motion, ie when the potential energy becomes manifest. But it's not two separate things. The manifest does not emanate from the potential energy. There is only Consciousness. And consciousness itself to create the illusion of the world-appearance and ego, to perceive the illusion of diversity in what is, in truth, it is pure Oneness. It seems difficult to understand how the universe could exist in infinite Consciousness since that should transcend it. In truth there is nothing outside of consciousness, because consciousness or God can not be anything but immanent in all things that seem to exist. However, there can be no relationship between consciousness and phenomenal event, given that a relationship exists only between two different entities. In this sense, consciousness transcends the manifest universe. The universe exists in Consciousness in power as there are waves that rise from the waters of a calm sea. manifest everything in the universe is the product of consciousness, and when you live in the illusion where the event appears to be "real", and after the realization of Truth. We are not, and have never been, but a product of consciousness. It would perhaps be easier to "understand" the truth if we could conceive that there never was a "we" and that everything that exists, and has always existed, it is only Consciousness or God, more or less consciously, we believe to be sentient beings, and then separated from the event, "we" are the subject and the rest of the show is the 'object'. In fact, this "we", manifest as a phenomenon, is an integral part of the manifested universe. We believe to be separate entities because we become aware of the universe through the apparent quality of the judgments of our cognitive faculties. This "assessment" is an aspect of consciousness itself, which is why we can not free ourselves from the concept manifested by the appearance of being separated. As soon as we realize that we are not separate entities, but Consciousness itself with quality of feedback that serves as means for the event, the illusion of separation (which is the cause of suffering and limitation) vanishes. At this point there is the intuitive understanding that since we are not posters, we are the noumenon, and as we manifest appearance (not separated any more than it is the substance of the form of gold jewelry). The event stems from Non-Manifesto and, in due course, will build it again. As individuals, human beings are irrelevant, illusory figures on a stage of the dream we call "life."
"Who am I?" Here's the question that Ramana Maharshi-one of Popular Indian guru of the last century, suggested to arise.
A question that was not intended to have an objective response, but to show how In researching this I what we discover is that it is not something tangible, but the observer of the application blank.
RAMESH - Many people ask me if Ramana Maharshi had the basics. Of course I had, for example the question: "Who am I?". As Ramana Maharshi spoke in Tamil, is not even right translate his question with "Who am I?" but "Who is this me?" or (this is my interpretation) "There is this I?".
When we come to the conclusion that no action is really 'our', the intellect is no longer of this question, but rather arises spontaneously from the depths of being. If we do not do or to act, who is this 'I'? Is there really? Who is this 'I' that occupies so much space in our lives? Ramana Maharshi often posed this question. If the intellect is to ask the question, will also respond, then it will create doubts and give other responses that will create further doubts, and so on. It is a situation similar to that of a dog chasing its tail.
When, through personal experience, it is concluded that no action is really 'our', the intellect ceases to ask questions and the response arises from the depths of our being, namely the Source or God's Will God that demand arises and that is God's will if you are listening and reflecting on these concepts. It is still God's will if you try to practice the analysis of your actions.
We therefore hope that, by the will of God, the response arises: "There has never been an 'I' as the author of the individual. " If you never been the author of your actions, nor the others have never been the authors of their actions.
If you still have doubts, given the fundamental principle in mind: nothing happens that is not God's will and all doubts will dissolve.
E 'died a few days makes his home in Mumbai Balsekar Ramesh, one of the greatest Indian sages of this century, as few in the West helped lead the thought of Advaita. His humility, grace and clarity remain in the hearts of those who knew him and leave a priceless legacy for all humanity.
Madhukar ─ I've already said that Osho claimed to be able to use their minds at will, as a tool, because after lighting it had become the master. In your book 'The Conscience speaks,' I read the thoughts that come from outside. The emergence of thoughts is an impersonal event?
Ramesh ─ Yes, that can not be impersonal. No one can stop the occurrence of a thought, because thoughts are not born by the mind-body, but from the outside, from Consciousness. The brain reacts to a mindset based on their genetic and cultural programming. It is the ego that customize and create 'my' thought, 'my' idea or 'my' action. A thought is an impersonal external stimulus, which was followed by a reaction of brain cells. In this case, 'who' may be the master of the mind?
Madhukar ─ Yesterday we talked about the researcher. Now you can talk about the research?
Ramesh ─ All research takes place following a very impersonal process, which starts at the moment the baby will find intuitively the mother's breast. Life is nothing but a continuous research, whatever the object of research.
Madhukar ─ And the spiritual quest?
Ramesh ─ The spiritual quest begins with an 'I' who thinks of trying something and ends with the annihilation of the researcher. It is a process that starts and ends with the identification of 'illusion and, for a particular body-mind organism, can reach the summit through the complete dissolution of the ego. The search begins, proceeds, and ends, according to the Will the Source. It is very important to understand that the ego does not destroy itself, but is cleared by Consciousness.
Madhukar ─ During meditation, I often happen to be in conflict with my ego. At first, the emergence of unwanted thoughts makes me restless, then I am judging myself because I condemn and fight these thoughts, instead of accepting them as they are.
Ramesh ─ The ego is nourished by its own dynamic opposition against him. Subtracting nourishment to the ego, it becomes weak, and their understanding grows. For this reason, I recommend accepting the ego, and not to fight it. Many people have difficulty accepting one's own ego, because most books and teachers say that the ego is the main problem that you have to destroy it. My concept, but it's not to fight but to accept it. Why? Why do not you created. The Source has created the ego, and the source itself is about to destroy it.
Madhukar ─ mbra If that is the first step when beginning to become researchers - and the search begins. In my case, and 'was the experience of satori with Osh o.
Yes Ramesh ─ The process of search starts with an individual who believes that we can achieve enlightenment through their own efforts and various spiritual practices.
Madhukar ─ At this point, not only the researcher wishes to enlightenment, but it almost feels is his right: "Will I get the lighting, because I am working with perseverance." I myself have believed it possible to force the lighting. [Laughing]
Ramesh ─ effort and spiritual discipline can go on for years until the research process - the disentificazione-reaches the stage where the researcher realized that the lighting can be done but not done. In practice it comes to intellectual understanding that there is nothing but consciousness, and there is no individual author of the shares. But if this understanding is through a full insight into the heart, only depend on the will of God
Madhukar ─ mean that at some point, the researcher realizes it can not affect in any way the outcome of their research ?
Ramesh ─ Of course! Successful research depends only on the will of God, and the fate of the organism body-mind. 'No' becomes illuminated, and the lighting takes place in a body-mind organism, thanks to the understanding that there is only sensed in the heart Consciousness.
Madhukar ─ Then the researcher should know when approaching the finish line? There are signs and symptoms by which we can understand that we are reaching the end of our journey?
─ Ramesh is a good question. There is a penultimate stage, which precedes the final realization. If you ask me what are the signs of being near or on the threshold of enlightenment, I would say that that is the stage where, with detachment from any outcome, one wonders: "Lighting? Does it matter? It does not matter. " At this point, the lighting can occur at any time.
Madhukar ─ How do you know that we are coming to this stadium, which came shortly before enlightenment?
Ramesh ─ You'll know you are on the right if, in the life of every day, you'll discover more tolerant of others' actions. In fact, if there are no actions 'your', how can you condemn the actions of others? In this way, life becomes simpler, because now devoid of pride, of the proceedings, hatred and envy. Reached this stage, know that your understanding of teaching has gone deeper.
The series aims to gather the most important voices in the world of Advaita suggesting contemporary Western authors in particular next to the items most reliable East.
The choice of authors is based on the intention to provide easy access to texts of Western culture, where communication of the message of non-duality is through the language of today and not by that of the classical Indian tradition. The fact

For conditions which means the inner environment which, together with the external environment, govern the actions of a person. Karma is divided into three categories - Samca, and prarabdha kriyamana. Samca is the karma of previous lives, the median stored in the brain: they are the seeds that have not yet sprouted. Prarabdha is the karma of past lives that led to our present life. Kriyamana is the karma that we are accumulating in this life and bearing fruit in the lives that will sprout later.
Healing from the Past Interview with Manuel Schoch
Healing in an instant, za sen having to go to understand the trauma past, injury or hidden anxieties.
Everything is possible under Manuel Schoch, a psychologist and mystic Switzerland via or what has become known as the "treatment of time."
This pioneer of the Swiss alternative medicine for over 30 years he carefully observed the human energy system to find a holistic approach in large to transform our habitual patterns of behavior.
combining awareness to natural processes of energy, "therapy time" is a very direct approach to focus on the potential of the individual rather than to go fishing the traumas of the past as does the traditional psychotherapy. Through specific meditation techniques Schoch shows a new way of understanding healing.

He later created the Center for Human Growth Tune In Zurich, London, and Athena, spreading the "treatment of time." He has also taught at the University of Zurich.
We present here a taste of the book published by Laris " Healings radical" .

The mechanism of thought
Thought and the quality
The aspect that concerns the quality of the soul is the first thing that na-sce with the body and brain in operation. In the first two years of life gradually develops the ability to think and as we grow and use the thought, that is, the more you develop the ability to think, our thoughts tend to hide and repress quality. When you examine the thought and the mechanism of its operation, must be avoided to activate it. It seems difficult, but it will be helpful to recall that the thought is a description of something, and no prospect that the future is fear. If we take the analogy of a painter and his painting, the future without perspective is like standing in front of a blank canvas, with brushes and colors ready, but not knowing what to paint. When the future prospects there is no fear, which comes in the form of thoughts. On the other hand, look at the future prospects mean that we are alive and vital, because we know what to paint and it only remains to do so. Here there is no fear, there's only action in the non-action, and you lose yourself away from him, which does not mean to go to something or someone, but to the pre-future. thought we dominated. Everything so far has been created by man, from airplanes, paintings, and even this book, was born with the process of thought. Most of us believe that the brain is used to think but, as we have said before, ninety percent of the brain is involved in the physiological maintenance of the body, while only ten percent is used for thinking.
The keys to the inner freedom Inner freedom is concerned that part of us that is accountable only to itself. In reality there is no freedom internal or external - for inner freedom means that the world does not affect social or political - in the outside world because there is never complete freedom to do what you want. We spend a lot of time preoccupation of the things that about the world, and it is difficult to feel free in the sense of being happy and at peace. When we actually going to be quiet because there is nothing special happening, the mind is not able to immediately relax and say, "That's what I wanted." What really happens when we try this kind of peace and freedom?
Obstacles to inner freedom First, we feel uncomfortable, then bored, and finally, let's be honest, we are afraid. If we continually look to the inner freedom, peace, peace and happiness, because when we find we are assailed by fear? You have to understand what means, from the biological point of view, to a state of being where there is freedom, so it is necessary to consider the serious problem of addiction, not alcohol or drugs as epinephrine, a problem that affects us all. Bearing in mind that the mind and body can not be separated, we see that the mind needs constant work to give us the illusion of being awake. We feel more compassion for those who suffer for those who are happy and content. The films, television programs and sports raise our level of adrenaline. imagine for a moment that you are lying on the bed and feel very relaxed, no matter to everything that happens in our lives. The best way to increase the level of adrenaline is to care for themselves or for someone else, that's why many of problems that afflict us are not real, they are just a way to run the adrenalin. When adrenaline levels go up we feel awake, alive, aware, but is not the state was referring to Buddha is artificial and also addictive. As soon as we feel well-metaphorical fall asleep mind, the shoes fit perfectly when I could not feel my feet, that is, we are aware of the body only when something is wrong. In 1991 during the Gulf War, when Iraq fired missiles Israel, it was discovered that three days after the first attack, died of natural causes were increased forty-five percent. In the following week but returned to normal, the victims did not live even close to the bombed area, but in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, and it was very unlikely that a missile could reach them. This shows that the brain and its powers of visualization are able to create enough stress to cause irreparable damage to the body, and that the brain has the ability to concentrate and affect the possibility of death, without so much as we are aware of what happens. If our adrenaline level is too high or too low, there is a problem. There are countless other examples of how the mind can influence the time of death, and how we manage the fear, worries el'assuefazione adrenaline. That's why it is so difficult to achieve inner freedom, the mind is addicted to adrenaline, in other words we are psychologically addicted to fear. We would all be free from fear, but when there is, we feel uncomfortable. When there are more concerns we are in a state of rest, but my mind will protest saying that there is something wrong.
The art of dying or exit time If we learn to die to live, we must train ourselves to enter in contact with the Observer timeless. As we have seen, the knowledge exists only in the absence of the descriptive process. When we are aware of something, this is already part of the past, but if we begin to describe what happens, the flow of our energy is blocked. I have identified six areas to be used as a guide for observing this process within ourselves. Mind consciousness is moving at a slower pace of the energy body or consciousness outside the body, thus avoiding having to stop the flow by focusing on what happens. Since the mental consciousness is awareness more description, when we become aware of something, not descriviamolo, but we are aware and simply let it becomes a force of transformation. remember that aggression is always a symptom of fear, fear is a sign of sorrow and sadness for the bridge is love. If aggression is always a symptom of a symptom of this fear and sadness, descriptions or interpretations do not serve us. Awareness without descriptions is possible and the only one that allows direct observation; proceed from here on it becomes much easier. When the mind comes into play trying to describe the root of thinking, produce new thinking. We try to focus on the process, not the content. You can reach the root of the thought stopping only to produce descriptions; meditation is just that. We have never a thought, even if everything is not manifest in other words, although there are many thoughts in the background of our mind, only one is dominant.
Paramaham know Prajnanananda - The essence of every religion is a personal experience of the Divine, which becomes possible through spiritual discipline. The term sadhana means any spiritual practice that allows the researcher to realize God and is the method by which you can achieve the purpose of life - the goal - and assumes a form of discipline aimed at this particular purpose. In the field of religion, sadhana includes all religious practices, ceremonies and the rituals that lead to the realization of spiritual truths: we can therefore say that sadhana is the practical aspect of religion. Between religion and spirituality is very little difference.
Sandra - start with the best-known texts: What is the meaning of the Bhagavad Gita? What is the essence of his teaching?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - The Bhagavad Gita is a song. The Gita is the song of God, one of the most famous texts of the Hindu tradition, in which Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu, which we believe, explains to Arjuna the meaning of the eternal principle of right action, of moral duty. The Gita teaches that the Absolute, the Brahman, is perfect harmony and the sense of separation or not free (or you have to attain liberation) only arises because we ignore the real nature of the self. Nevertheless, thanks to the discrimination of knowledge, we can realize the Self. When our eyes are no longer dazzled by the idea of \u200b\u200bmatter, there apriaremo the light of knowledge and discover that there is nothing inanimate. Everything is the manifestation of Brahman, at the same time is vital energy, mind, knowledge, bliss, divine energy and life. The world and all its objects have been created to be lived and inhabited by the Lord. The realization is in the ability to recognize the presence of absolute principle, every event, every action, every thought in one's self and others. God can be likened to a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere, for God is evident everywhere.
Sandra - What are the different schools of thought that teach the Vedanta?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - The three main doctrines of the Advaita Vedanta of Adi Sankara are [approximately 788-820 AD], the Vishishta Advaita [non-qualified dualism] by Ramanujam [about 1200 AD] and Dwaita [dual] Madhwa of [approximately 1300 AD]. The school of Advaita or nonduality is the oldest and most commonly accepted. Vedanta, is equivalent to the teachings of Adi Shankara.
Sandra - Can you explain the meaning of the term "Advaita."
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - The word "Advaita" comes from the Sanskrit word "Dvait", "two, dual, preceded by the prefix" a ", which means" negation ". Then Advaita means "not two, non-dual" and refers to the unit value, which does not allow any duality.
Sandra - The word "philosophy" means love and the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge. It is correct that the Vedanta ADAV simply a philosophy, or is it different from all other philosophies?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - There is a fundamental difference between the Vedanta and other philosophies. Vedanta in the search for truth is not the ultimate goal, after knowing the truth in fact, one must live it and become the truth itself. The Vedanta is the study of our true nature, the essence of humanity and all creation. Its goal is to liberate human beings from ignorance that makes them feel inadequate and limited. It can not be classified simply as a philosophy or a school of thought, but rather should be considered a direct transmission of knowledge of self.
Sandra - What are the three fundamental principles of Advaita Vedanta of Sankaracharya?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - are
1) Brahma Satyam, only the Ultimate Reality is real.
2) Jagat Mithya: the universe is unreal.
3) Jivo Brahmaiva Na Parah: the individual self (no more than the Ultimate Reality, the Absolute).
Although the Ultimate Reality is the Source of the Universe, does not constitute an intrinsic part. To understand this concept, we use a classical analogy. Consider the relationship between the sun and its reflection on a lake: it is clear that the sun is the source of this reflection, but continues to exist even without it. Similarly, as the sun is the only true source of this reflection, as the Ultimate Reality is the only source of the entire universe, which is a reflection.
Sandra - The sun's reflection on the lake there, but it is unreal, because the "true reality" that generates it is the light of the sun. The second claim, "the universe is unreal "is intended to express this concept?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - The second principle of the doctrine of non Shankaracharya says that the universe does not exist, but exists only as a reflection of sunlight on water. Without the sun there would be no reflection and no Ultimate Reality there would be no universe. Just as the sun is independent of what happens to its reflection, the Ultimate Reality is not affected by what happens in the universe, although it is the source.
Sandra - And the third?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - The third principle of Shankara reminds us that our own individual is a direct manifestation of Ultimate Reality. The Self is the cause and source of the body and mind, as well as the Ultimate Reality is the source of the entire universe, the self is not an intrinsic part of anything, as the sun is not an intrinsic part of her reflection. It is always present, beyond the illusory appearances, caused by the activities and modifications of the mind. When the veil of illusion is removed, the self is experienced directly and because it is a direct manifestation of Ultimate Reality, it also has direct experience of the latter.
Sandra - Can you give me an explanation of Brahman?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - The whole system of Advaita Vedanta can be summed up in this form to:
which states that the Absolute is the only reality: the world is an illusion individual soul is not different from the Absolute, in fact they are identical. The world is a creation of the illusory nature, a superimposition of the "Absolute himself. Because of so much confusion that I like to call ignorance, but only momentary blindness, the incarnated soul imagines to be different from the Source, the Absolute Brahman, and lives well in a world of plurality, to be considered a separate entity. The truth is that everything can not be anything but the very substance of the Absolute Brahman, since all creation is a manifestation superimposed on itself, like a movie projected on the screen, there is deluded to live a story and dialogues. The momentary forgetfulness of who we really are, disappears with the dawn of knowledge, with the return of memory. The illusory nature of the world, is experienced after reaching a certain level of achievement. This fact is considered very important by Shri Shankara because the experience was very vivid for him. This illusory nature, maya is the cosmic game of God, the lila. According to many scholars, the term includes the idea of \u200b\u200bMaya lila and surpasses it. God is one, but this unit is not limited and therefore I can look like when I want variety. Outside of the cosmic manifestation, God transcends the definitions and can not be described either as one or as many, is limited and unlimited, without a second, and all that is perceived is God This is the teaching of the Upanishads that also argue that the limited el'illimitato, one without a second and whatever we perceive is nothing more than that usually define the term God or Consciousness. The World His manifesto is the game of infinite consciousness in its aspect, so too is real. There atro outside of consciousness. Everything is God
Brahman can not be explained in words nor conceived by the mind. It can not be described as beyond all description. Can be expressed only by the word sat-cit-ananda, existence, consciousness and bliss. It is both personal and impersonal. It is called antaryami, the Soul of souls, and also the creative energy, prakriti, as only the Absolute has the inner power immanent. Being transcendental, beyond the universe. He is the creator, the supporter and the destroyer of this universe, and these functions are symbolized by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva respectively. It is the source of everything and the end of it all, the object of devotion inspirer of morality. In short, God is everything.
Sandra - I am the Absolute or are used as an instrument of God?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - depends on identifying: If you identify with the body and mind, you're a tool, an object. In reality we are not aware of individual wave separated from the sea of \u200b\u200bcosmic consciousness, but we are the same ocean of consciousness, and we consider so individual only because of ignorance. The spirit of God became man, and then the man is the ocean of Cosmic Consciousness, God Himself. The true nature of man is this self-knowing, the witness changeless change of body, mind and external world. The Self is the only constant factor in humans and integrates all physical and mental factors into a coherent whole, coordinating the various functions of the body, mind and other organs. Maintains the identity of the man despite all the changes in the inner and outer worlds. Man is essentially spirit, bright and self-sufficient. The Kena Upanishad (1:2) states: "It is The life of every life. " This true self makes a person aware of his individuality and diversity of the world. It is this awareness that distinguishes him from non-sentient beings. It is self-evident and needs no proof. The immortality of the self, atma, is described in detail in the Gita. The knowledge of the immortality of the self dissolves all fear of death, for fear of death is not nothing but a clinging to the ego with all the consequences of anxiety, fear and suffering. The desire for worldly pleasures, leading to the reincarnation of the self, can be overcome through knowledge and the disappearance of desires leads to immortality. The immortality of the self can be achieved through meditation on the scientific technique of Kriya Yoga: This is the paradise within.
Sandra - A very common question: what 'death?
Paramaham know Prajnanananda - Death is not the end of an individual, just as birth is not the beginning. What then is death? The event of death means that the Self (along with the subtle body that includes the mind with all its impressions) leaves the physical body and in that moment the mental impressions become the seeds of future births. To decide on the future birth is the last thought that emerges before his death, because every thought, and therefore also the last, is shaped by the prevailing desires in life, so the desires are the root of birth and death.
Sandra - What hides our reality?
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda - The different waves that arise in the memory (chitta) hide the self, but you can hear a faint reflection of the self in these waves that cover it. These waves are samskaras (the sum of the impressions of our past actions). The true nature of the self can not be achieved as long as it remains just one wave in the lake of memory, chitta. Once all the waves subside, the yogi reaches nirvikalpa samadhi or the state of absence of karmic seeds, a level which can be reached when the shares are no longer included in the subconscious impressions and therefore cease to be links. In this state all the veils are lifted, we perceive the Self that shines in His own glory, and we understand that is not an aggregation of elements, but the basis of being eternal. As ever, the Self can not be born or die, is immortal, indestructible, imperishable is the essence of intelligence.
