Virtual Enlightenment

Within one generation technology has brought the world together in ways unimaginable to most people. We have extended our awareness through satellite, cellular and fiber optic applications. The World Wide Web has created a global mind with information being shared with millions in seconds; ideas move through the World Wide Web much like thought moving through fields of neurons in our brain.

Where we used to have most of our classes in a room, now most people are dialing in through teleconference lines, and listening to our classes on their PDA's and iPods; we grew from a few hundred to tens of thousands all over the world in just a couple years! Our Institute is virtual, each staff member works out of their home, and I rarely even meet the students I work with in person. It's not necessary; transmitting Shakti is even more effective virtually since the teacher is not the person but the spirit that is non-physical.

This adaptation of technology has also provided an opening in consciousness that enables me to connect with you in ways unimagined in earlier times. Where Shaktipat had traditionally been transmitted through physical touch or presence from teacher to student, it is now broadcast virtually like a satellite signal to students all over the globe. For the first time in history people half way around the globe can connect with the Shakti anytime by simply "tuning in" to the life force that passes through me to you. In this way we join in spirit and commune in Divine Grace. We are all connected in spirit.

This month we launch our Membership program. Now anyone with a computer, anywhere in the world, can connect energetically to our spiritual community and radically accelerate their instinctive evolutionary enlightenment. The spiritual connection is transferred through voice, written words, and through spirit itself. You have been called to awaken from the dream and fulfill your life purpose. You are part of a growing body of people who are being led to full enlightenment and you know this instinctively. Your enlightenment is creating the critical mass that is shifting the collective consciousness of humanity so we can all live together in happiness and peace. I look forward to sharing with you more.

On Shaktipat

That which causes life within you, is you. The spirit that animates your physical being is an expression of your consciousness…it is known as Shakti. Your consciousness is what is reflecting upon these words and guiding you to read them. Observe your mind thinking. Who is observing these thoughts you are thinking?

When our body and mind are congruent with the expression of consciousness flowing through you there is clarity, happiness and peace. To the degree your mind is incongruent with your spirit there is resistance and pain. Pleasure and pain serve as benchmarks of your state of consciousness. They are your guides on your path to enlightenment.

The more connected you are with your spirit and the expression of consciousness flowing through your body and mind the happier you are. The more conscious you are the more peace pervades. All your life experiences are providing you the opportunity to learn and grow and evolve your consciousness to its highest expression…full self-realization.

Each state that you evolve to carries a higher energy. You "conduct" your state of consciousness. By tuning into higher states of consciousness you become familiar with them. When I meditate with you, in person or not, my spirit and yours connect and you naturally tune into these higher states, this is called Shaktipat. The more familiar with these higher states you become, the more you reside in them until you experience them all the time. This is an easy and enjoyable path to enlightenment. Experience it for yourself.
