Understanding the Difference Between Fate and Destiny

Understanding the Difference Between Fate and Destiny

In this Q&A, Shunyamurti explores the illusion of inner and outer and the difference between fate and destiny.

Discover Who Is Dreaming You

In this Q&A, Shunyamurti explains that individuation is ultimately directed by a higher intelligence, and that the one we take ourselves to be is a character being dreamed by the Absolute Self. From this perspective, even the chakras belong to the fictional identity of the embodied ego. Liberation comes through awakening from the illusion altogether and recognizing the one undifferentiated light that is already fully present.
