Open Source - The Living Soul Podcast (Book Webinar 3 March 2026) We go right back to the roots of why Self Realisation is Open Source, why Philip has followed this principle since 2011 and why this is a profound part of Self Realisation and particularly what history reveals in terms of dangers and traps that can emerge when a pure spiritual insight becomes dogmatised and plagiarised for control. We take a look at how the Open Source Spheres Meditation emerged in 2011, how it has always been shared in an Open Source way, is an energetic bridge to Self Realisation and why it also is key to our physical manifestation experience. The pure form meditation is included so don't drive during this. Questions and insights are then explored about the simplicity and power of effective meditation.

Maharishikaa reveals the profound and often unbelievable connection between spirit and matter, in response to Karin van Egmond, a long-term disciple, and Maria Paroussi, who has just begun to implement Maharishikaa's teachings on taking care of matter and declutter practices - one of the early steps for new seekers on the Maharishikaa Self Realisation through Samarpan Process. The striking results of this cleaning discipline are evident when Karin observes having to clean less at home and wonders whether matter can, over time, begin to repel dust in a space where deep attention is paid to it — a true source of cleaning motivation.  In contrast, Maria, relatively new to the teaching, asks how to manage the feelings of sorrow, fatigue, and fear that arise as she lets go of unnecessary objects during her house cleaning and declutter process. Maharishikaa reveals new knowledge about the undeniable link between caring for matter and self-realization. Unveiling the interplay of light and energy, She explains how objects influence one another, dust being composed of the same atoms as everything else. She elaborates on the many factors that shape the energetics of a space, and how a seeker can enable the free flow of energy, and uplift both the atmosphere and the people within it, by placing matter in a certain way — a true act of spiritual cleansing and space cleansing. For a seeker to become a finder, Maharishikaa emphasizes the radical yet essential discipline of limiting the number of objects one surrounds oneself with — a non-negotiable step on Maharishikaa's Self-realization path and the spiritual journey it's connected with. To Maria, She explains that clearing out old possessions can be deeply challenging, as these objects often serve as instruments of the occult world. Maharishikaa advises cleaning a little each day rather than all at once, and taking a shower after completing each section of the home, as running water has a powerful cleansing effect that restores energy. She gives Maria an ancient practice by which to protect spaces and objects from such occult takeovers. She also cautions seekers to discern when such cleansing practices are appropriate, so as not to interfere in the spirit world. When matter is cared for, Maharishikaa reveals, consciousness and awareness begin to grow within the objects themselves. #Maharishikaa #Decluttering #EnergeticProtection #SpiritAndMatter #TakeCareOfMatter Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.

Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageAre you tired of feeling like you're on the brink of spiritual awakening, yet something always seems to hold you back? In this video, I uncover the four subtle obstacles that keep most seekers stuck, even after years of meditation, shadow work, and self-inquiry. Whether you've been devouring every book on enlightenment, attending countless spiritual retreats, or deeply exploring non-dual teachings, you'll discover exactly why genuine self-realization may still feel out of reach.If you've ever wondered, "Why am I not enlightened yet?" this is the turning point you've been looking for. Through my own journey and work with hundreds of students, I've identified the invisible locks that hold even the most dedicated spiritual explorers captive. You'll learn how expectation sabotages your inner transformation, how fear operates as a hidden security system for the ego, and how resistance silently cements your false identity in place. We'll also delve into the sneaky habit of waiting-and show you why it quietly prevents you from fully embracing the present moment.This video isn't about adding more spiritual concepts-it's about recognizing the absence of resistance and the simplicity of pure presence. By facing these obstacles head-on, you'll naturally discover the effortless peace and clarity that arise when the "me" dissolves. You'll see that real awakening doesn't require a grand fireworks display; it asks you to notice what has always been here in your direct experience.If you're ready for a profound shift in how you perceive yourself and the world around you, make sure to watch until the end. You'll receive a powerful doorway question that points directly to the heart of self-realisation. Don't miss this chance to reclaim the open, boundless space that's never left you, even if the ego insists otherwise.Join me on this journey to transcend these four major blocks and step into the free, unbounded awareness that is your true nature. Let's unravel the illusions together, dissolve the "me," and awaken the ever-present consciousness that resides beyond all concepts. If you're serious about unlocking authentic spiritual liberation, hit play now and discover the missing piece in your path toward genuine enlightenment.Work with me. http://www.IlonaCiunaite.com/sessions Subscribe to my Newsletter for updates, gifts and to receive info about free monthly meetings on Zoom https://ilonaciunaite.com/subscribe/Music by Valdi Sabev, Visit his channel for more calm and relaxed music https://www.youtube.com/c/ValdiSabev/featuredWebsiteshttp://ilonaciunaite.comhttp://liberationunleashed.com

In this episode, we unravel the complexities behind this experience, discussing how modern education often values rote memorisation over true understanding and practical application. We share our personal struggles with reconciling academic success with genuine self-awareness and argue for an educational approach that aligns with one's natural inclinations and talents. Next, we journey into the heart of self-discovery, drawing wisdom from Vedic literature and our own life stories. Imagine the courage it takes to live authentically in a world that constantly pressures you to conform. We examine the effortless confidence that arises from embracing one's true nature and the potential chaos that follows when we stray from our dharma. Lastly, we explore the profound impact of sincere and compassionate spiritual mentorship. Through humorous anecdotes about encounters with superficial spiritual leaders, we highlight the necessity of having a mentor who genuinely cares. We discuss the role of modern technology in shaping our learning experiences and the peace found in nature by slowing down to connect with ourselves. As we delve into the Bhagavad Gita, we emphasise a non-judgmental acceptance of diverse lifestyles, encouraging an inclusive perspective on spirituality and material choices. Join us as we embrace the complexities of education, self-realisation, and spiritual wisdom.

Join us in this transformative episode as we delve into the remarkable spiritual journey of Ananta Kranti. Ananta's path is one of profound resilience and unwavering consciousness, navigating the darkest corners of life, including time in prison and supporting her parents through their end-of-life transitions.

Moojibaba guides an earnest seeker to go beyond fear and other distracting mental forces by engaging in a subtle and profound self-inquiry, the result of which can be felt instantaneously. “Something is afraid of the absence of you personally. The idea you have of yourself as a particular identity has been blocking you from going into the seemingly unknown. So the mind creates the unknown as a black hole, but what you are actually finding is that there is no black hole. When you can bear and be the emptiness-silence that you are, you are free.” 31 May 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

After a 14-year Meditation Journey, Philip experientially realized the nature of the True Self which referred to itself as Infinite Silence. In his former life, Philip was a Chartered Civil Engineer and Operating Group Director of a large business. In 2000 in response to dreaming about work on a skiing holiday Philip began Meditation. Ultimately, this led him to leave his old world behind in 2009 at the height of his career to focus on a deep inner calling. Since 2014 he has shared the gift of Self Realization with the world in ways led by Meditative Insight through direct experience of the Infinite Silence Meditation, Spiritual Inquiry, Infinite Touch and via his website and other outlets. His style is simple, compassionate and offers exquisite clarity. His sharing is all based on direct experience, is not rooted in any tradition and is ideal for the present era. Unexpectedly, Philip was both inspired and invited to offer events in person in the UK, Iceland, Greece (Corfu and Crete) and Amsterdam and globally online. Philip lives near the small but very beautiful Cathedral City of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. With his Wife Sue, they have created a purpose-built Meditation space for events. He light-heartedly calls it the Universal Studio! Because of the misunderstandings and spiritual blocks that can be associated with them he has never been a fan of labels people have called him, including Guru, Teacher, and Master. Recently (late 2021) in meditation it was made clear the term Western Mystic was to be used. Whilst the ‘Western' term is, in truth, superfluous the intention that was made clear was to draw out the fact that his sharing is all rooted in direct experience and is he is not ‘schooled' in Eastern Teachings. Experience has shown that this has made the material accessible to a broad audience. His message focuses on helping people recognize, inquire into, and experience the absolute simplicity and power of the Infinite Silence that is our true essence.

Snippet of wisdom 30.   In this series I select my favourite, most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.   Today's snippet comes from my conversation with Simon Paul Sutton, author of “Burglar to Buddha”.   The snippet I chose from that conversation is about the cosmic dance of life and discovering the playful Buddha within us.   I hope it is as insightful for you as it was for me! ⠀
