Our Collective Excursion in Hell is Just Beginning

In this powerful and timely transmission, Shunyamurti calls on Sat Yogis to prepare for uncertain times through ceaseless self-inquiry and inner stillness. By transcending ego and body identification, we can abide in the freedom of the Real Self and radiate peace into the collective consciousness. We must be free of any trace of ego-consciousness so that we can fulfill our God-given functions during these final days.

How can you sustain divine love, inner peace, and fearlessness when the world around you is falling apart? In this retreat invitation, Shunyamurti introduces "How to Sustain a Divine Life," a retreat devoted to gathering the spiritual strength required to face uncertainty, loss, and the collapse of everything we depend upon. Physical preparation alone cannot meet the coming challenges; the essential question is whether we can maintain equanimity, love, and clarity under even the most difficult conditions.

Drawing on the mystical vision of the Sufi sage Suhrawardi, Shunyamurti explores a progression from the City of Darkness and degraded egoic desire, through self-reproach, divine love, spiritual discipline, prayer and samadhi, and finally to fanā: the annihilation of the ego and the complete dissolution of separation from God.

Question:

We are not powerless. We are the very power that manifests this world. Now you know why the controllers manipulate emotions and perception.

Shunyamurti’s Reply:

The fact that you admit that there are controllers disproves your assertion. But, at a deeper level, I agree that the Real Self, the Infinite Intelligence that is dreaming this entire hologram, and each of the individuals who appear in it, does indeed have the power to determine our destiny, and is doing so. The Will of God is mercifully bringing this fallen world to an end, in order to eliminate all suffering. But the fallen consciousness of humans, which the sages refer to as the ego complex, is subconsciously aligned with those apparent controllers, to bring this about quickly. This collusion is known in psychoanalysis as the death drive. But its deeper intention is to awaken those who are wise enough to die to the ego while alive, to attain the grace of immortality. The purpose of this teaching is to trigger such an awakening. Om Shanti.

Namaste,

In this teaching transmission on the purpose of a true Wisdom School, Shunyamurti reveals that awakening is not the accumulation of spiritual concepts but the deactivation of the ego program that obscures our true nature. Shunyamurti explains that practical and theoretical knowledge can take us only to the threshold, while liberation ultimately requires the grace of transcendent wisdom. As the end of Kali Yuga approaches, the choice becomes increasingly urgent: continue feeding the ego's old patterns, or awaken to the immortal Self and learn to sustain consciousness beyond the limitations of time, space, and body.

Question:

I like the explicit wisdom on enlightenment, but sometimes you come off as a doomsday prophet. Don’t take the doomsday for more than it is: a game.

Shunyamurti’s Reply:

You are quite right that the world drama leading to the Eschaton is a game. But it is being played for very high stakes. That is why all religions tend to focus on the subject of eschatology, especially of preparing for the Revelation, the Rapture, the Final Judgment, and Redemption or damnation. And of course the day of doom (which means the census, when all souls are accounted for—which is why the Russian parliament is called the Duma) is also the prelude to the world to come, the kingdom of heaven, the new cycle of time. All of this can be considered a game, but to win it requires that one attain access to the infinite intelligence and love of the Supreme Being. And that, in turn, requires the sacrifice of the finite identity. The great wisdom schools traditionally functioned as the means of transmission of winning strategies and tactics in the Quest of the Ultimate Prize—whether it was called the Philosopher's Stone, the Pearl of Great Price, the Robe of Glory, or simply Buddhahood, the Dao, or Anuttara Bhairava.

Namaste,
Shunyamurti
