a state of consciousness exists whereby one is free from the mind, body, and emotions, and living in peace and joy. However, this seems out of reach for most people as they do not experience this state very often. There may be glimpses of it while in meditation but it does not remain all the time. Therefore, a system of practice is needed. This talk by Shree uncovers eight steps that will assist you to realize that which you always are behind your human consciousness and how to know your own divinity.Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

The background sound in this audio is the Vyaas River flowing in the Himalayas. That river continues to flow with its rapids and create a loud sound without your doing anything. In the same way, the true Pure Consciousness that you are continues to flow.   When one begins the practice of meditation and Self-Realization the same mechanism of the mind may believe it has to do the practice like you have done everything else in your life. When the practices are done with dooership, or even with the sense that I am not the doorer, then there is still the dooership of not being the doer. These efforts may not reveal the truth of the Self. The truth of the Self is when you are truly non-doer or when you are just watching and knowing that the space of Self is always there. The highest desire is that you just rest in your own Being. That requires you to just be with that Being that you are without using the same mechanism of the mind and body that you have used for everything else in your life. Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

There is often talk in spiritual teachings about having to be free from or even having to renounce your ego in order to realize your true Self.  Many people have a weak ego mechanism and do not think highly of themself.  Others, are narcissistic and overvalue themselves but underneath it they are insecure.  In order to realize the Self, it is not that you need to destroy your ego or your sense of I. It is that you need to expand your ego to include the Whole. You are not an individual ego. You are the Whole. When you know this then there is no ego. To be free of ego you can know that ego never existed as anything separate. Only You,  or I, the Self alone everywhere exists.  Then ego is not a problem when it is expanded and includes your Own Self everywhere. Those with a good sense of their abilities and strengths may be said to be egotistic but that is only when they are living in a dualistic experience and believe themselves to be separate from others. When the Vision of Oneness is unfolded in meditation then you know that You alone are, Self alone is. This podcast will guide you in this knowledge through listening and practicing the guided meditation.Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

Everyone what to be loved and to love. However, everyone at some point realizes that what we call love is changing. Therefore, it is never true love. We love because we are by nature made of love. Love is who we are as the consciousness pure.  Therefore, to experience love that never changes we need to meditate on the vision of oneness whereby we see that love alone everywhere. For meditation teacher training, books, and more recordings by Shree go towee.transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

The nature of the mind is that whenever a thought or feeling arises you can become involved with it believe it and think it is your reality.  However, thoughts can also be seen as passing waves of perception. Then you are the master who can decide which thoughts to dwell on which ones are useful and which ones you can let go of because they will only cause mental worry, free, or pain and suffering.  To remain unaffected and uninvolved you need to know that you are the Knower of all of your thoughts and feelings. Then you can shift your attention away from the disturbing thought that is not helpful to the Knower that is forever free from the mind and your thinking.  For meditation teacher training, books, and, additional recordings by Shree go to  www.transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

A great deal of upset and anger comes from difficult interactions and conversations with loved ones, friends, or colleagues. Why is this? It is because we all have our own life experiences and ideas of right and wrong. Two minds or egos can never think totally alike.   But we love to have harmony and agreement. When there is an agreement we feel supported and loved and when there is disharmony we suffer.  Total agreement is impossible but we keep trying to do the impossible.When we know that the purpose of communication is to please one another then our whole focus changes. We decide to speak to enjoy each other's company rather than to be right. When we see our own Self in all beings then we can focus on where we are one and not on trying to get two ego minds to agree,  We focus on the love that united us rather than the differences. We can ask for what we want but have no need to demand it. Instead, our need is for peaceful interactions, acceptance, understanding, and love. Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

This podcast shows you that decision-making is limited if only based on your past life experiences, your memory, and your thinking mind. When one relies instead on meditative awareness the decision comes in its time from the purity of your own being and knowingness. Then the decision is the best not only for you but for the Whole. Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

How much the mind can remember and hold on to is limited to your own life experiences and abilities. The true Self or Knower is one with all. Therefore, if you only know the mind there is no free will and you are only able to make decisions and think about what the mind has been conditioned and learned to do.The Self, is the Knower or Pure Knowingness, When you tune into the Self in meditation then you open yourself up to the higher consciousness or will and life becomes freer with more possibilities and mostly with the ability to remain uninvolved and free through all the changes by knowing that you are forever, pure, and free.  For more information and to view Shree's books please go to transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

The mind with it's positive, negative, neutral, disturbing, or joyful thoughts are always in flux. The thoughts seem to come from nowhere and are either happy, sad, elated, disturbing, or neutral.  You often don't have control over what you are thinking. The thoughts seem to either come from nowhere or are triggered by a memory, anger, or jealousy.   The Space in meditation behind all the thoughts is always unchanging. Like the ocean is always water but becomes a large wave, small wave, or foam but the ocean water is the same. In the same way, in meditation that space of peace is forever shining but sometimes covered like the clouds can cover the sun. The sun is always shining is it just now always visible. In the same way, the true Self which is forever pure and peaceful always there.  Meditation on your true Self or peace allows you to know yourself as that unchanging peace in all situations.

We all develop a worldview through our upbringing and life. The human view is that I am born to a mother and I will die one day. But no one wants to die unless they are emotionally unwell.  Even a small bug or ant tries to resist being caught or squashed. Much of adult life is spent avoiding harm and suffering and trying to remain happy and peaceful,  Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't since the correct tools were not provided. The conditioning of the mind is to hold onto worry and fear! Meditation begins to unlock a new worldview, You are the immortal and blissful being and that is unchanging. This is unlike the mind and body which always changes. The true being is unborn and undying. That is who you are. So when you change your view to this highest view then you get free from suffering.   To view Shree's Meditation Teacher Training Manuals and Knowingness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now book and audios go to transformedu.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

When we speak of surrender its meaning can be that an individual surrenders to a God or higher power that is separate. This is not the true meaning of surrender.  Here it is stressed that the higher power or God is You , the true, Pure Being.  We become only a limited human being and don't acknowledge or experience our divinity. Therefore, here you are not really lettings go of anything. You just start to live in the state of divine presence and know yourself as the highest Being who is pure, free, and forever!  To know the light you can't push away the darkness you just turn on the light!Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali there are two terms that explain this dilemma completely. Raag is attachment and dwesh is aversion.  If you have one then you have to have the other. They are like two sides of the same coin. When you become attached to someone then at some point you will be angry or dissatisfied with them.  You need to have that person do that which pleases you and brings you joy and have them not leave or do that which you don't like that brings you pain.  So if your enjoyment of life is based on that person and it could be a child, life partner, or even a work associate, that you overvalue, eventually you will either get angry and or you will disregard their usefulness and even leave them.As this is human nature you can't avoid raag and desh.  But through the awareness of how this process works, you can remain free by not believing in it.  Through meditation, you become free from raag and desh as you are no longer only depending on someone else for your satisfaction in life. For more information on Shree's audios and books: Transformation Meditation Teacher Training Manuals and Knowingness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now got to www.transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

In the Yoga Sutras of Patanajli it is said that there is only one cause of suffering. The forgetfulness or your true Self.  This makes it much easier and clear to know that you don't have to spend years of your life trying to determine why you are suffering. Instead, you notice that you are identified as a limited mind and body being and therefore you have to enjoy and suffer. That is the human condition.  Through meditation, you remove the covering over your true Self. Through that answered state all of your problems are nonexistent as you are knowing your true Self and you are experiencing a state of peace that is there regardless of what is going on in your life.  To understand this more easily consider that every night when you are asleep for that time there are no problems or even physical pains. The Fourth state or meditative awareness is similar as even though you are now awake you are free from the problems and pains just like you are in deep sleep.

If you conclude that you are a limited human being then you will remain a limited human being. If you conclude that you are the infinite consciousness forever pure and free then you will become that as you are that.  Everyone is a realized being but the covering of forgetfulness lets you conclude that you are only human. Meditation and knowledge of your true Self will alow you to conclude that you are pure, free, and forever and live as that free being. For more information and to see Shree's audios and books: Transformation Meditation Teacher Training Manul and Knowingness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now you can go to www.transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

The mind and emotions can never truly be at peace. So if you remain only on the level of the body and senses you will never find balance.  Then you can stop trying to do that which is not possible. Like you cannot go in the water with your clothes on up to your head and not get your clothes wet. In the same way, you can not remain only a human being and be in balance. The very nature of the human being is up and down and it only briefly can come to balance or mental and emotional peace.Therefore, peace and emotional balance does not fully exist for human beings. Then what is the solution?  The answer is that you have to know your divine nature that is free from the confines of a human being. In meditation, we come to know the true Self that is forever free from the confines of human nature and is always at peace and in balance. Therefore, what is necessary is practicing the shift of your attention to the Knower of your mind and emotions as the Knower is eternally free and balanced.For more information and for Shree's audios and books go to www.transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

When you truly understand that you are free from the world, body, mind, and senses then you know true Freedom. When you truly accept that you are not your limited ego and in fact, there is no ego in deep sleep so why do you take it on when you wake up? You move in the world like your car moves on the road but you are not your car. In the same way, you are not your body, mind, and sense. You have a body, mind and senses like you have a car. And you do everything to maintain it and keep it around as much as possible so you can move about in the world. But you accept that you are the one who is moving the body and all bodies. You are that very power itself. That acceptance of your true power or Self shows you the freedom that you forever are!For more information and for Shree's audios and books: Transformation Meditation Teacher Training and Knowingness Meditation, Enlightenment is Now go to www.transformationmeditation.com Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

Many people use the word karma to speak about something that has happened or that someone did something bad to another person. They may say that it is their karma, meaning that they did something similar to someone in this life or in a previous incarnation so now they are getting it back.  As you sow so shall you reap is the expression.  When there is a physical problem or health issue they may say this is the karma of the body that it has to go through this problematic state to cleanse itself from one's past actions. When you realize the Self it is said that you are free from all karma. This does not mean that things don't happen to the body and that the body doesn't go back to earth.  But it means that You, the Pure Being or Self, never becomes ill or dies as who you are is the consciousness pure and not just the body and mind. That true beingness can never change. As it says in the Bhagavad Gita, it can't be cut by weapons, burnt by fire, wet by water, or dried by the wind. It is indestructible and you must know this!Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

People believe that they are the doer and therefore they have to create or work for everything that they desire.  However, many things that desired you aren't able to manifest.  So by thinking your mind and body is the doer you will always fail in being fully satisfied. This has become well documented in programs like Alcoholic Anonymus as the first step is to know that you are powerless over your addiction and that you need to surrender to a higher power in order to get free from your addiction.  When you know that a higher power moves your body and mind. The electric source from the outlet lights up or bulb or cooks your food and without the source of the electricity, the appliances do not do anything. In the same way without your higher Self or higher power, you can not do anything. Therefore when there is something that you know you should do but you cannot then the next step is to surrender to the higher power. But you have to understand what exactly is meant by surrender.  Surrender doesn't mean that you give up anything, It means that you know the higher power that is forever shining. You shift the attention from the mind and body as the doer to the higher Self. Then you become aware that the power to make these changes come from regularly practicing your meditation with that intention rather than trying to force yourself, unsuccessfully to do it as you believe only your mind and body is the doer. Then you know that you are the non-doer that desireless as it is already pure, free, and forever.  Support the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

Most people are victims of the senses. If the sense of sight sees something that is beautiful you want to keep watching it. If the sense of smell, smells a nice fragrance you feel good and wish to have more of it. If the sense of touch touches someone and experiences the ecstasy of that union you want to keep repeating it.   If the sense of taste eats tasty food you want to have more or have it again. If you hear a pleasant sound or nice music you want to keep it around or play it often. If someone compliments you, you want to hear it again.  However, the senses are on the level of change you can never find total peace and fulfillment only through the senses. But as long as you are not knowing your true Self then you have no other option other than to keep hankering for satisfaction only through the senses. In meditation, you are free from needing to fulfill the senses in order to feel happy or satisfied. Therefore you are free from needing anything or anymore in order to feel easy and blissful.  So true freedom is in the Vission or Oneness, as that is always free from the senses as it is resting in the peace of your own Pure Knowingness that is one with all and is the unchanging love and knowledge.For more information and to read about Shree's audios and books: Transformation Meditation Teacher Training Course Manual and Knowingness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now, go to www.transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com

The human being is never pure, free, or forever. As a person, you are sometimes needy of things are people,  and you are not free as you have your ideas, concepts, relationships, etc.  And you are not forever as the body and mind will pass away at some time. So what is meant by the saying, First to be pure, means that you have no attachments to anyone or anything. You do not steal as you are not needy of money. You do not overindulge in sex or food as you do not need your satisfaction to come from the senses only. To be free you need to be free within your own mind.  You may not be in jail but you are not free if you base your satisfaction on things and forms.  To be forever you have to know that the one who is forever is the true Self or being that you are.For more information see www.transformationmeditation.comSupport the showwww.transformationmeditation.com
