Have you been feeling unsettled, worried or troubled the past few weeks? As a highly sensitive soul, living a world that feels increasingly unsettled, it is more important than ever that you take excellent care of yourself! One of the best forms of self-care is taking care of your MIND. Keeping your mind calm and focused on spiritual truths is key! I have been re-reading the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda to help me find peace during these times. What does he recommend? Meditation. In this episode, I share a passage from Yogananda's book, To Be Victorious in Life, to help you remember how to respond to the external world, AND how not to. I also share some simple tips you can start doing today to help you feel better. And if you want to learn more about the upcoming training, Meditate Like a Mystic,  click here to find out more.   Key Learnings: Highly sensitive souls need to take better care of themselves during turbulent times like these. The most important thing to do is develop a meditation practice that fosters a sense of inner peace and calmness. Yogananda's teachings were written and taught during the first half of the 20th century, during the Great Depression and World War 2. Talk about an unsettling time! That is why his teachings are SO helpful for the times we are experiencing now. If his students could meditate in a bomb shelter in England during the Blitz, you KNOW they are powerful teachings! Some simple things you can do to take care of yourself: a) Limit your intake of sensationalized news b) increase your time out in nature c) increase time reading and studying spiritual truths d) take inspired action from a place of peace and calmness   “Meditation is the key to inner peace, especially in troubling times like these.”    Click here to register for Mother Mary's Meditate Like a Mystic Program Click here to purchase To Be Victorious in Life by Paramahansa Yogananda Click here to join the Magnify Your Miracles Membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

One of the most useful truths taught by Paramhansa Yogananda is: “The greater the will, the greater the flow of energy.” By pouring our energy into everything we do, we draw even more energy to accomplish it. Over time we discover that this increased energy flow comes from a higher source and enables us to succeed at whatever we're doing.

EVEN MORE about this episode!Author and spiritual explorer Joseph Selbie joins us to uncover the connections between spirituality and modern science, exploring how saints, sages, and quantum physicists may all describe the same reality in different ways. Joseph discusses M-theory, proposing our universe as a holographic projection from an energy-based realm, echoing spiritual teachings. Together, we delve into the intersection of mysticism and scientific skepticism, drawing insights from figures like St. Teresa of Avila, and questioning if modern education has dulled our spiritual perceptions.

Keys to Understanding Our Hidden Past, Emerging Energy Age, and Enlightened FutureAuthors, Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz — Foreword by Swami KriyanandaRead sample — Buy: Paperback, Kindle, or Audio Book“An amazing, mind-expanding investigation of the hidden cycles underlying the rise and fall of civilizations. Despite the dark signs of the times we live in there is hope here for all of us.“—Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the GodsToday's view of history cannot account for ancient anomalies, such as the Pyramids and advanced knowledge contained in India's Vedas, but in 1894 an Indian sage gave us an explanation not only for our hidden past, but for the trends of today, and for our future enlightenment — the 24,000 year yuga cycle.Millions are wonder if we are due for a world-changing global shift, and what the future holds for mankind. Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject nearly a century ago. They presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years.According to their teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving forward to a higher age — an Energy Age that will continue to revolutionize the world. They declared that we would live in a time of great social and spiritual change, and that much of what we believe to be fixed and true — our entire way of looking at the world — would ultimately be transformed and uplifted. In The Yugas, Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz present substantial and intriguing evidence from the findings of historians and scientists that demonstrate the truth of Yukteswar's and Yogananda's revelations.Testimonials“An amazing, mind-expanding investigation of the hidden cycles underlying the rise and fall of civilizations.

Swami Kriyananda lived with his guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, for the last three and a half years of the great master's life. The teachings and training that Swamiji received from him during that time have inspired and guided the work of Ananda, which now reaches countless souls throughout the world. Here are two stories from Swamiji's early days with his guru that can help us in our spiritual as well as our everyday life.

With an outpouring of wisdom and compassion, Paramhansa Yogananda gave us a sure, do-able path to soul freedom. “If you practice even 1/100th of what I teach, you will find God,” he told his disciples. Add to these techniques and many others, the practice of meditation and Kriya Yoga, and we have all that we need to achieve our spiritual goals.

The is a very special podcast that kicks of the Ananda Teachers Series of episodes beginning with our guest Nayaswami Narayan from Ananda Village, CA at Crystal Clarity Publishing. Narayan is a fellow a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda and a beloved teacher with Ananda Worldwide. At Swami Kriyananda's request, (Founder of Ananda) Narayan and his wife Dharmadevi moved to Los Angeles and became the spiritual directors of Ananda Los Angeles in 2010. Prior to that, they lived at Ananda Village in Northern California. There, Narayan helped manage the publishing arm of Ananda, called Crystal Clarity.

And earlier this year they were called back to the Ananda Village community where they now continue to serve through Crystal Clarity publishing.    The conversation opens in learning about the history and high-minded principles of Ananda Village which is a thriving spiritual community of over 250 residents that was established in 1969 and is rooted in the teachings of Awakened Master Paramhansa Yogananda.

How can we learn to cultivate friendships everywhere and see our unity? It's always a joy to share inspiring events that come into our lives, especially when they come unbidden and filled with “education and entertainment”—the purpose of all our life's experiences, according to Paramhansa Yogananda.

Lessons learned by direct disciples of Paramhansa Yogananda.

An Indian friend of ours recently mentioned a phrase that really caught my attention. While guiding her son through a challenging period she told him, “Show me your friends, and I will show you your future.” This phrase can also serve as a noteworthy reminder for ourselves. At times we can get a little careless about this aspect of life, but its significance is indeed profound. Paramhansa Yogananda said, “The company you keep is important. If you leave your coat in a room where people are smoking, pretty soon it will smell of smoke. If you leave it outside in the garden, later on, when you bring it indoors, it will carry with it the fragrance of fresh air and flowers.

Kriyanandaji often spoke of the importance of bringing “keen, alert attention” to everything that we do. The next step is deeply to focus our attention not only on what we're doing outwardly, but inwardly on God. This is essential for deeper meditation and spiritual awakening. Paramhansa Yogananda said, “The minutes are more important than the years. If you fill the minutes of your life with thoughts of God, you will find the years of your life automatically saturated with the consciousness of God.

In the last two episodes, I discussed the Higher Mind Training, which is a unique personal growth program that is being prepared for release by the Better Angels Publishing Company. I also mentioned that for the past six months I have been teaching some of its basic understandings and techniques to the counselors and residents of the James A. Casey House in Wilkes-Barre, PA, which is an innovative halfway house where about fifty men live, recovering from the effects of severe alcohol and substance abuse.           This effort has been kind of an experiment because although I have been speaking about and teaching the fundamentals of the training for many years, I have never exposed it to a population of this kind and had no idea what to expect. The results have been deeply inspiring. It's been obvious that these guys have never heard anything about their greater inner potential before. Neither well-educated nor well-funded, most of them have been beaten down by the external world for most of their existence. They've been told that they are losers, that they've basically ruined their lives and that the road ahead of them is a dangerous, thorny, uphill climb, with a high probability that they'll fail in their efforts to recover.   Suddenly, they're being given new information - that they were born geniuses and that they still have the genius potential inside of them. And most importantly, that they're not their minds, Even though it may be filled with anger, fear and thousands of other forms of negativity, their finite mind with its vicious inner critic is not who they are. It's just one part of a much larger intelligence that they have. And they don't have to buy into the miserable story that it's telling them all day long. They can let it go and move on, because there's a bright road ahead of them if they choose to choose it.   We also show them a few simple inner exercises and even though they may get only a brief introduction to inner freedom, it's clearly a liberating experience for them and it's been an incredible phenomenon to watch. After one exercise, a resident smiled at me in disbelief and said, “I have never felt anything like this before in my life.” During these months, as I began to prepare for the return of the podcast schedule, I decided to make some of the key points of the training available to all our podcast subscribers. There is still quite a lot of work to be done prior to the program's release and I wanted to make this information available to you now. You may find it to be quite helpful and there's no reason for you to have to wait. Now although a lot of what I am going to present to you may seem basic at first, just take it in. I have found that most people have never had a clear introduction to these inner fundamentals and having a clear understanding of them can be critical to our long-term happiness. Afterall, they pertain to the achievement of our highest human potential, which will enhance every area of our lives.  So, let's begin with a somewhat tricky problem that can be a real barrier to the growth of our inner awareness and that is – on a certain level, we're know-it-alls. We think we already know everything. Now I'm only talking about a relatively small part of our mind, but it has a pretty loud voice. And there is a companion trait that comes along with being a know-it-all  and that is - we like to be right.  Actually, we love to be right, but we make far too much out of it. And it's not just an annoying trait, it can be downright dangerous. When it gets out of hand, wars can start with terrible catastrophes following. Sometimes you have to wonder: why are we so proud about being right, anyway? Being right isn't such a big accomplishment. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. This particular part of our mind isn't really such a big deal. It's bark is much worse than its bite, but if we want to grow, we really do need to grow beyond it. It reminds me of a story from the old days, and I mean the thousands of years old days, when a student approached a master and asked to be taught knowledge of the inner self. “Let's have some tea first,” the master said. He then poured the student a cup of tea. When the cup was full, he stopped for a few seconds and said, “Here, let me give you a little more.”  The master then poured more tea on top of the filled cup and the tea ran onto the saucer. The master kept pouring more tea onto the cup and it ran onto the table. He kept pouring and it ran over the table onto the ground. He kept pouring for a few more moments, then he looked at the would-be student. “You see, all the tea that was poured into your filled cup just ran off and ended up on the ground. It was a complete waste and never did you or anybody else any good. Is that right?” he asked, and the student nodded. “You see, you have to empty your cup before you can fill it.” So typical of Ancient Wisdom - an extremely simple statement with an extremely profound meaning.   By the way, this know-it-all, love-to-be-right trait isn't bound to only individuals. Every culture throughout history seems to think that it's completely advanced. Even the most appalling barbaric ones thought they were great. So, both as individuals and as societies we remain proud of our so-called knowledge. And this always leads me to one of my favorite quotes, which comes from Thomas Edison, who is still considered to be one of the greatest inventors of all times. He is credited with over a thousand patented inventions including the light bulb, the phonograph, the motion picture, and the telegraph. Pretty impressive! Probably one of the smartest humans ever! Well, here's his view about the state of our knowledge. “We don't know one millionth of one percent about anything,” he said. Hearing that phrase and knowing that it comes from him always makes me humble. And when it comes to inner growth, humility is one of the most reliable allies we have.   With that, let's quickly recall that famous study that was commissioned by NASA in which Dr. George Land found that 98% of us begin life as creative geniuses and remain that way though the age of five. Then it progressively diminishes until by our early twenties, only two percent of us are in the genius category. But according to Dr. Land, this remarkable level of intelligence remains within us and can be recovered relatively quickly. Personally, the thought that there are advanced levels of consciousness within our intelligence that we have not yet discovered has always intrigued me and through research I have found that this concept has been expressed in every culture and religion throughout human history. I have mentioned in a previous episode that one of my favorite ideas about this is the inner state called Satchitanand, as expressed in Vedantic philosophy. The term can be broken down into three components: Sat, which is truth. Chit, which is consciousness and Anand, which is bliss. The ancient teaching is that although we may not be aware of it, there is a profound state within us which is connected to eternal truth, unending happiness, and immortal contentment. Together, they represent the ultimate reality or supreme principle, which exists both within and without. George Harrison expressed the concept in his classic song, “Within You Without You.” Personally, I fell in love with the idea when I first heard the song on the Sergeant Pepper album. I was in college at the time, it was the late sixties and chaos had become the societal norm. Things were falling apart as quickly as they were coming together, but as George put it, “When you see beyond yourself you may find that peace of mind is waiting there.” Now, with the idea that there is a pristine state of peace, consciousness and bliss within our awareness, along with Dr. Land's conclusion that we are in a genius state of consciousness from birth through age five, I started thinking about our early years, especially before the age of three. It seemed to me that if a toddler is not hungry, tired or in need of being changed, and nothing external is bothering them, they seem to exist in a most amazing state of being. They're creative, expressive and completely aware. And they're incredibly happy. Indeed, according to current research the average toddler laughs about 300 times a day. Of course, we can blow right by that number but stop and think about it.  That's a lot of laughter. So, what are they laughing about? They don't have much of an understanding about anything in the so-caller real world, so they're not laughing at a good joke or because they just found out they unexpectedly came into a ton of money. No. The fact is they're not laughing at anything at all. They don't need a reason to be happy. They just exist in a state of consciousness that is inherently joyful. And a countless number of masters and teachers over thousands of years, have told us that this state of consciousness is within us now. In that regard, I'm reminded of a poem called “Samadhi” that was written by the great teacher Paramhansa Yogananda. Samadhi is a term that refers to the highest meditative state where the individual achieves union with the Divine. He wrote it after he first experienced it as a yogi and this is the ending - “Spotless is my mental sky. Below, ahead, and high above - Eternity and I, one united ray. I, a tiny bubble of laughter, have become the Sea of Mirth Itself.”  Can you imagine that? Living in a state of inner consciousness where you have transcended the bonds of earth life and merged with the Divine. And what about that term - the Sea of Mirth itself? The dictionary defines “mirth” as abundant gladness expressed by laughter. I don't know about you, but with all the ideas about God and heaven that I've been taught throughout my whole life, and believe me, that's a lot of ideas – I never came across the idea of God being abundantly happy and expressing it with laughter. The big guy they taught me about seemed to be pretty pissed most of the time and was always ready to smite somebody. Well, so much for concepts. But also, to appreciate the incredible state of being that we have within us, we don't have to go looking for some arcane, yogic, meditative state. It's much simpler than that. We can just look within our own heart, which is already filled with what Lincoln called “the better angels of our nature.” There are hundreds of average, everyday traits that we have within our awareness that are miraculous in their own way. Love, gratitude, kindness, generosity, integrity, and compassion are just a few. So, if we start out life in this incredible state of consciousness and it is all within us right now, a most obvious question comes up: What happened to us? And more importantly, what can happen for us? Well, we've covered a lot of ground here and as you might guess, this will be the topic of the next episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart open and let's get together in the next one…

“I want to be your disciple.” Seventy-five years ago, on September 12, 1948, a young man knelt before Paramhansa Yogananda, and with intense yearning spoke these words. It was the beginning of a journey that changed his life, and by extension our life, and the lives of millions of others throughout the world.

Join us as we journey through an exploration of faith, ego, and the pursuit of spiritual goals, revealing how these factors can lead to authentic wealth and satisfaction.

So, tune in as we traverse the intriguing path of faith, suffering, wealth, and fulfillment.About AshaIn 1969, when Asha was 22, she met Swami Kriyananda when he came to Stanford University to give a talk. Recognition was instantaneous and intuitive. For the first time in her life, she saw someone whose life matched the ideal she herself was seeking. Swamiji -- as she came to call him, "respected teacher" -- was a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, and the Guru responsible for introducing Kriya Yoga to the West. From that moment to now, Asha has dedicated her life first to learning from Swami Kriyananda and then sharing with others all that he so generously shared with her. She has written four books, the most notable being a significant biography of Swami Kriyananda called Lightbearer.Recording Date: August 8, 2023Asha's LinksWebsite: ashajoy.orgIG: @innerlifewith_ashaYouTube: @ashanayaswamiClayton's Book: Revealing The Secret Teachings of Jesus: GoT, Volume 1Clayton's LinksWebsite: claytoncuteri.comMaster Link: linktr.ee/claytoncuteriMerchandise: t2c.logosoftwear.comTimecodes(00:00:00) - Pursuing Wealth and Fulfillment(00:12:42) - The Purpose of Suffering and Growth(00:18:10) - Understanding Suffering and Karma(00:27:09) - Physical Activity and Spiritual Progress(00:37:38) - Purpose and Motivation in Daily Practice(00:40:42) - On Happiness and Pursuing Challenges(00:44:22) - Suffering, Substances, and Spiritual Growth(00:54:27) - The Effects of Marijuana and Psychedelics(01:02:38) - Follow Your Inspiration for Personal GrowthIntro/Outro Music Producer: Don KinIG: https://www.instagram.com/donkinmusic/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/44QKqKsd81oJEBKffwdFfPSuper grateful for this guy ^Support the showPatreon Support Become an Episode Producer: https://patreon.com/travelingtoconsciousness

Life is a journey filled with highs and lows. Sometimes it feels like a roller coaster, bursting with exhilarating peaks and gloomy valleys. At other times, it feels like the repetitive routine of a Ferris wheel that simply turns in endless circles. We will continue to ride the cycle of life from one incarnation to the next until we have learned our lessons. Paramhansa Yogananda said that ultimately this cycle becomes an “anguishing monotony.”

Our life's experiences, with all their joys and sorrows, mesmerize us with a sense of their undeniable reality. Yet, in truth, everything is only a thought in the mind of God. Paramhansa Yogananda (who related the story above) explains it this way: “This world seems real to you only because God dreamed you into existence along with His cosmic dream. You are a part of His dream.

Paramhansa Yogananda wrote, “Teach me to look upon all that happens in my life with a pleased, interested attitude, that at the end of each episode, no matter how sad or difficult, I may exclaim: “Ah, that was a good show, full of thrills, suspense, and excitement! I am happy to have seen it, and I have learned much from it for my own benefit.”

With far-reaching changes happening on virtually a daily basis, many are wondering if we are due for a world-changing global shift, and what the future holds for mankind. Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject nearly a century ago. They presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years. According to their teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving forward to a higher age—an Energy Age that will revolutionize the world. They declared that we would live in a time of great social and spiritual change, and that much of what we believed to be fixed and true—our entire way of looking at the world—would ultimately be transformed and uplifted. In The Yugas, Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz present substantial and intriguing evidence from the findings of historians and scientists that demonstrate the truth of Yukteswar and Yogananda's revelations.

“Man is essentially and eternally made in the image of God; the sins of a million lives cannot erase the perfection of his soul.” The all-forgivingness of divine love was demonstrated time and again in those who made themselves devotionally receptive to the Christ in Jesus. His words to the woman of sinful repute gave voice to the redeeming compassion of God that responds in full measure to a devotee's heart-offering that is singularly replete with love. This freely given grace is similarly expressed by the Lord in the Bhagavad Gita: “Even a consummate evildoer who turns away from all else to worship Me exclusively may be counted among the good, because of his righteous resolve. He will fast become a virtuous man and obtain unending peace.” Reigning over every action of an individual is the law of karma. Good begets good results; evil begets evil consequences. An evil action against society is a crime; an evil action against the welfare of the soul is a sin. The operation of cosmic law in regard to human actions differs from the operation of human law. A criminal is punished by the human law if and when detected and properly convicted; but if undetected he is able to go free. But the law of karma works unfailingly; it knows all and metes out its judgment accordingly. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” The topics that Yogananda covers are Biblical Concept of Sin Has Been Misunderstood for Centuries Realization of the Soul's Divinity Frees One From Effects of All Past Wrongs How Pure Love for God Brings Forgiveness of Sins Jesus' Compassion and Wisdom in Dealing With the Woman Taken in Adultery A Forgiving Attitude Toward Others Attracts God's Forgiveness for Oneself When One Forgives a Hurt, Does It Free the Offender From Karmic Consequences? Five Methods for Obtaining Absolution From Karmic Effects of Wrong Actions Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic and Energy Activation Through Flow Art and Voyages Through Space and Imagination. https://www.newearth.art/ BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channeling, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Follow Us on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/ Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/ Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/mediaprime Follow me on MeWe https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71 Music by Mettaversewaking dreaminner worldsconvergenceappeased soundscape 11love becomes ussuspended beliefmuted rainfor a momentworlds within worldsjourney through the multiversephaseslight holderssolacea still mindreunionlimitlesssolstice 

Memory, in its highest expression, is much more than remembering what is on a grocery list. It is the soul's ability to transcend the limitations of time. Paramhansa Yogananda spoke of the “easy resurrection of memory” through which he brought to mind past experiences with his guru, Sri Yukteswar. With a trained and heightened sense of memory, we can meld past, present, and future into the eternal now. Patanjali, the ancient authority on yoga, described spiritual awakening as smriti, which means “memory.” The yogic teachings describe three different levels of our awareness. The subconscious mind is the repository of all of our past experiences, impressions, and thoughts. It's the archives for our memories, not only of this life, but of all of our lives.

Casting out devils is not an antiquated superstition. The art of casting out devils and healing the spiritually sick of evil obsessions has been largely forgotten due to the lack in all religions of God-tuned apostles who know the subtle workings of the good and evil forces in the world. On many occasions Jesus drove evil spirits from the afflicted, as in this present verse, and as once he commanded the entities to take leave of a tormented man and enter into the bodies of pigs, who then perished in the sea. And also in the case of the woman of Canaan and her daughter, who was “grievously vexed with a devil,” and whom Jesus healed through the mother's great faith in him. Each time, he distinctly called forth the evil spirit and the victim was then made whole. Jesus, with his perfect integrity and divine knowledge, would not have referred to such cases as possession by evil spirits if they had instead been psychological, as in hysteria or lunacy. By long successful practice of meditation, a devotee can transfer his will and attention beyond the portals of the conscious and the subconscious minds into the superconscious. When he can go deeper and project his concentration consciously from superconsciousness felt within his body into the light of Christ Intelligence hidden beyond the state of wakefulness, dreams, subconsciousness, and superconsciousness, he can then behold the vast astral universe of luminous vibratory planets and vibratory spheres peopled with millions of disincarnate souls. The inhabitants of the astral world are garbed in forms made of energy and light, and are confined to higher or lower astral spheres according to their karma. There are, however, a few astral beings known as “tramp souls.” They are earthbound because of strong material urges and attachments. They roam in the ether, desirous of reentering a physical form to satisfy their need for sense enjoyments. Such beings are usually harmless, invisible “ghosts,” and have no power to affect the ordinary person. However, tramp souls do occasionally take possession of someone's body and mind, but only such vulnerable persons who are mentally unstable or have weakened their mind by keeping it often blank or unthinking. Owing to their mental emptiness, and karmic attraction, they unwittingly invite the advent of vagrant spirits within their bodies. If one leaves his car unlocked with the key in the ignition, any uncouth character may get in and drive off. Tramp souls, having lost their own physical-body vehicle to which they were inordinately attached, are on the watch for such unattended conveyances. Here Paramahansa Yogananda discusses Casting Out DevilsDifference Between Psychological Obsession and Possession by Disembodied SpiritsDemystifying the Truth About Disembodied Evil SpiritsCharacteristics of Souls in the After-Death RealmExplanation of the Phenomenon of Possession by “Tramp Souls”How Jesus Exorcised an Unclean Spirit Through Will Power and Cosmic EnergySpiritual Forces of Good and Evil That Vie for Influence Over Man's ConsciousnessSatan's Evil Intelligence at Work in CreationHow Satanic Tendencies Become Obsessions in the Human MindFreeing the Consciousness From the Influence of Satan's Devils Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic and Energy Activation Through Flow Art and Voyages Through Space and Imagination. https://www.newearth.art/ BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channeling, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Follow Us on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/ Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/ Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/mediaprime Follow me on MeWe https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71 Music by Mettaversewaking dreaminner worldsconvergenceappeased soundscape 11love becomes ussuspended beliefmuted rainfor a momentworlds within worldsjourney through the multiversephaseslight holderssolacea still mindreunionlimitlesssolstice 

Join Palehorse (Chris Parks) and Jay D'Rocha to hear how Chris and his brother received their new Indian names (Krishna Chandra Das & Madhava Das) from spiritual teacher and Bhakti painter, Mother Jadurani. Krishna shares a bit about his meditation practice, the process of channeling sacred art and how it's possible to attune with the divine quality of Bliss, and to share that Bliss with others. Jay shares an experience that he had with his young daughter in talking about to the recent earthquake in Turkey-Syria and how they sent healing prayers of Light to the victims of the disaster. The conversation leads into perspectives on having a healthy relationship with death, and insights about how we will be remembered after we pass on. Jay shares words on this subject from Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Krishna gives some insights based on his experiences with psychedelics and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The duo also discusses the nuances of having a deep spiritual practice and the art of being in a relationship with a partner who doesn't share the same path. We close with words from Paramhansa Yogananda on being a ‘Smile Millionaire' and illuminating the darkness with the inner light that can shine through our being. Joy to you friends!

So excited to finally read some Paramahansa Yogananda. He was an amazing teacher writer and guru who fundamentally altered the wests understanding of spirituality on a variety of levels. Yogananda is at the same level as Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphy. He talks with a deep level of knowledge about mystical subjects. He is authentic, rationale and surprisingly talks about a variety of interesting subjects. In his book The Second Coming Of Christ: The Resurrection Of The Christ WIthin You, Yogananda goes deep and talks about Jesus in a powerful manner that really resonates and upgrades the level of thoughtful discussion about this subject. I plan on covering several of these teaching. He has 75 discourses that cover everything you can think of regarding Jesus and the new testament. He goes into the scripture itself and adds amazing revelations about what is really going on in these teachings. In the 7th Discourse Yogananda talks abou the role of Satan In God's Creation. If found his discussion, informative, fascinating and mindblowing. Here he discussesThe Role of Satan in God's CreationThe Nature and Origin of EvilWhy Evil Has a Place in God's PlanThe Origin of Satan, the Creative Power That Rebelled Against GodThe Conflict in Creation Between Christ Consciousness and SatanHow Satan Caused the Fall of Man From Divine ConsciousnessMan's Place in the Conflict Between God's Goodness and Satan's TemptationsPerceiving the Taintless Spirit by Transcending the Dualities of Delusion You will find this an provocative and really interesting expansion of the teaching of good and evil and helps to further answer the question.

Chris Parks (AKA Palehorse) and Jay D'Rocha discus the current astrological shift during this time and how much more peaceful this year is estimated to be compared to what we've been through recently. Palehorse explores Hanuman's example of having the ability to dream and to manifest his dreams into reality, which is a superpower that we also have. Other topics of discussion include: The value of keeping a gratitude journal as well as a story from the Ramayana about the ‘good asura' (or demon) Vibihisana that Hanuman met and inspired him to confront his brother Ravana (the Demon King) about his evil deeds. This story is a lesson for us all to be brave and to speak up, when necessary, but from a place of love, courage, and wisdom, rather anger and hatred. - Hanuman's pure character and how he cannot be swayed by riches or sensual pleasures. Words from Paramhansa Yogananda on how to transform enemies into friends. Overcoming absentmindedness and facing inner demons to prepare ourselves with truth and honest introspection, and to make connecting with the Divine our most important daily appointment.

I've come across some amazing and amusing examples of advanced souls being guided by intuition. These stories are from a book of letters from Paramhansa Yogananda to his second-most-advanced disciple, Yogacharya Oliver Black.

Chris (Palehorse) and Jason D'Rocha (Jay-D) highlight and expand upon the valuable insights shared by Michael Stark (The Royal House of Medici) during a short interview that we captured with him in Miami recently. He says that: ‘Many artists are caught up trying to make for galleries, make for audiences, to make for collectors and to make for algorithms… Tools and resources are being created for artists to own their career in profoundly different ways, and to be able to tell the stories that they are meant to tell.' Palehorse also shares his perspective on the Divine Mother goddess known in India as Kali. Palehorse also describes a powerful flip of consciousness that he and his brother Matt use during long hours painting murals to remember just how fascinating every aspect of life is when perceived and experienced as a, multi-sensory, hyper realistic, infinite, hi-def virtual reality, fractal environment. The episode closes with some inspiring teachings from Paramhansa Yogananda for Sweetness, Calmness and Happiness. Stay light and courageous fellow seekers, thinkers, artists, doers and dreamers!

Everything you see is a temptation for you to believe in something other than God. God is appearing as that phone,as that person,as that headline, temporarily,only to take you Beyond. Can you remember?Remember ME.Do this in remembrance of Me. Do everything you do all day in remembrance of Him, of It, of your Self, of Love.Let everything bring you back Here,and then stay Here,until there's no you, either.

This intimate and insightful account of the life of Dr. Harry (Hari) Dickman, referred to by Swami Sivananda as “the yogi of the West,” features more than fifty years of correspondence between Dickman and well-known yoga masters such as Swami Sivananda, Ramana Maharshi, Paramhansa Yogananda, and almost one hundred others. Marion (Mugs) McConnell, Dickman's student, has created a brilliant and loving tribute to her teacher, who founded the Latvian Yoga Society in the early 1930s and later spread his knowledge in the U.S. with the blessings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi.  Offering a broad range of information on yoga history, theory, and techniques from a variety of different paths, Letters from the Yoga Masters (North Atlantic Books, 2016) contains a treasure trove of previously unavailable material and presents detailed teachings about pranayama, mudras, diet, and much more, all interwoven with stories and personal anecdotes. Taken together, the rare correspondence and personal chronicles provide an unparalleled glimpse into the life of a yogi, the development of yoga in the West, and the ways that spiritual wealth is disseminated across generations.

Have you ever had that moment where you had great, fantastic, amazing news to share but then felt guilty because the person listening to your happiness was having a bad day? Maybe you tried to downplay your joy to balance the scales? In this episode, we are talking about happiness guilt.     Transcript:   Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.   I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I was wondering, have you ever been so happy you've felt guilty for it?  I mean, there are starving children.  Millions of people are suffering, there is job loss, poor health, so much suffering.  Yet, you seem pretty happy on this hypothetical happiness scale.  You almost don't want to tell people how good you are feeling.   As crazy as this sounds, going down the rabbit hole of anger and despair, even for the most righteous causes, only puts you in a doom and gloom and that is not helpful or productive for yourself and the people around you.    Happiness is often something we work toward everyday.  We choose happiness.  Through an Arthur Brook's article, I was introduced to the work of one of the first great Hindu monks to come to the West, Paramhansa Yogananda.  He said “Learn to be secretly happy within your heart in spite of all circumstances, and say to yourself: Happiness is the greatest Divine birthright—the buried treasure of my Soul.”   Arthur Brooks would take it even further and say “share your buried treasure with those around you.”   Whether you believe in thought leaders from a century ago or the relevant research today, or you just have a gut feeling that happiness is the key that unlocks so much fulfillment, then you already know that there is no need to keep your happiness secret, suppress it, or bury it under complaints and outrage.   The research is overwhelmingly clear, sharing happiness with others improves both your life and the lives around you.       So share what you are happy about and use the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram so we can cheer you on.   Get Everyday Happiness delivered to your inbox by subscribing at: https://www.katiejefcoat.com/happiness   And, let's connect on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie  and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram   Links:  https://onamission.bio/everydayhappiness/

Books: The Yugas: Keys to Understanding Our Hidden Past, Emerging Energy Age and Enlightened Future - Today's view of history cannot account for ancient anomalies, such as the Pyramids and advanced knowledge contained in India's Vedas. But in 1894, an Indian sage gave us an explanation not only for our hidden past but for the trends of today and for our future enlightenment - the 24,000-year yuga cycle.
