In this landmark sixth chapter of The Journey Beyond Death, we begin a new arc titled “Mystics & Seers” by welcoming two of the most piercing voices in spiritual inquiry: Jeff Berwick and Shunyamurti. Together, they unravel what lies beyond this world—and how to reclaim the truth buried beneath illusion. Jeff Berwick, founder of The Dollar Vigilante, challenges the very nature of reality. Is this world a divine simulation? Is death just a shift of levels in a cosmic game? Through years of intensive meditation and consciousness experimentation, Berwick offers raw, revolutionary insights: that fear is programmed, death is misunderstood, and freedom begins when the mind surrenders. Shunyamurti, spiritual director of the Sat Yoga Ashram, takes us even deeper—into the still center of being that never dies. With razor-sharp clarity and mystical presence, he explores why the soul incarnates, how ego fragments the Real, and what it means to awaken before death. His message: You are not the body, not the mind, not even the story. You are the eternal light watching it all. This episode is not for the casually curious. It's for the seeker standing at the threshold, ready to cross. Death is not the end. It is the illusion we must transcend to truly live. ------------------------------ Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 - Metaphysical Seeker & Sovereignty Advocate Jeff Berwick 44:00 - Spiritual Master & Founder of the Sat Yoga Institute Shunyamurti -------------------------------- Jeff Berwick is a financial iconoclast, spiritual truth-seeker, and founder of The Dollar Vigilante. After building and selling Canada's largest financial website, Stockhouse.com, Berwick spent years traveling to over 100 countries—seeking freedom, truth, and a deeper understanding of reality beyond the mainstream matrix. One of the first analysts to call Bitcoin at $3 and Ethereum at $2, Berwick also teaches that we're living in a cosmic simulation—a spiritual “video game” where awakening means reclaiming our power from fear, control, and illusion. Through his media platform Vigilante.tv, bestselling book The Controlled Demolition of the American Empire, and his annual Anarchapulco conference, Berwick fuses financial independence, metaphysics, and radical self-liberation. Website: TV Channel: ----------------------------- Shunyamurti is a renowned spiritual teacher, yogi, and founder of the Sat Yoga Institute and Ashram in Costa Rica. Drawn to the path of inner liberation from an early age, he immersed himself in advanced practices of meditation, self-inquiry, and multiple yogic disciplines. His training included an apprenticeship with Baba Hari Dass, extensive study of Sri Ramana Maharshi's teachings, and over a decade of committed spiritual life in a Brahmachari ashram in India. Shunyamurti's wisdom synthesizes the core insights of Advaita Vedanta, Shaivism, and Buddhism with Western psychoanalytic traditions, transpersonal psychology, and mysticism. He has also explored altered states of consciousness through entheogens and integrated learnings from esoteric traditions like Taoism, Kabbalah, and mystical Christianity. Through his talks, writings, and intensive retreats, Shunyamurti offers a transformative path for those seeking inner silence, self-realization, and the transcendence of ego.

What kind of world are we in? Could it be a fiction? How would that affect your ego's crucifixion? And if the world is suddenly perceived as filled with zombies, how does the heart react? Does ego death seem more appealing? If so, we have a formula to help you disappear.

The role of narcolepsy—or we could call it “sleeping avatar” syndrome—in the life of Sri Ramana and (more generally) in the attainment of samadhi, is explored in this off-the-cuff digression. We also gain insight into the ways that destiny is inscribed in the prologue to our personal stories.

Shunyamurti explains the psychological and spiritual meaning and implications of the erratic Trump policies, as well the geopolitical effects of the rising tensions and conflicts in this accelerating phase shift that is now underway in the world—and replicated at every fractal level of reality. It is a true synchronicity that all this is unfolding just as we enter the Passover-Easter Holy Week.

Reality is being destabilized at every fractal level of manifestation. It may be most obvious at the geopolitical level. But it is happening at every level, in every institution, every relationship, and every personal psyche. One can make use of this situation by appreciating that it is loosening the grip of identifications and revealing what had been subconscious shadow thoughts and emotions, enabling one to alchemically transform that prima materia into pure Presence. The madness of language itself, the jouissance of the signifier, is the last vortex of resistance.

This talk was given as part of AscenDANCE, Anarchopulcho conference 2025. Get the lifetime replay of the entire conference here: https://anarchapulco.com/ascendance/ Description: The ancient mystics held these truths to be self-evident: The world has only relative reality. The Ground of our Being is an Inconceivable Intelligence. We are all artifacts of the imagination of that One Infinite Self. It is the will of that all-powerful Mind that the world must be sacrificed—and a new Creation, inhabited by beings filled with love, harmony, joy, and wisdom then will be made manifest.

You've Been Framed! Break Free of All Frames of Reference! 5-Day Online Retreat Guided by Shunyamurti, Easter Weekend, April 18 - 22, 2025 https://bit.ly/Break-Free-All-Frames If you are stuck in a limited identity as an ego, then you have been framed—victimized by a family system working for the larger social order to keep you under their control. You probably are burdened by a guilt complex even though you are still innocent, and further agitated by anger at the situation, and projecting the same forces into your current environment and relationships. So, the therapeutic technique of reframing is urgent. But the deeper work is to free your Self of all frames of reference and return to Your original infinite nature. This is the focus of our next online retreat.

In this teaching Shunyamurti is reading from The Vajra Essence, Düdjom Lingpa's Visions of The Great Perfection, Volume 3, Foreword by Sogyal Rinpoche, Translated by B. Alan Wallace, Edited by Dion Blundell Description: The final period of every cycle of time is one of spiritual exhaustion, the soul's exile from the Light of God, the ego's nihilistic cynicism combined with narcissistic hubris, and the ominous approach of world destruction. We have arrived at that time. Fortunately, every spiritual tradition declares that such a hell realm is actually the most auspicious moment of all, for that is when the Inner Light returns—first only for a few—but then more and more souls become illumined. This is the true Festival of Lights. It is happening.

In the upcoming retreat on "The Secret of Instant Illumination," you will come to understand how “they” are boiling our souls like frogs in a pot. A time will come when denial is no longer possible—when events become too hot to endure. The good news is that, even when strength is lacking to leap out of the matrix, there is a way to attain instant liberation. This secret “Get Out of Jail” card will be transmitted to you to use when needed. The Secret of Instant Illumination!

A heavenly world is being prepared for those souls with the courage to attain the deathless consciousness that is revealed once the false ego has been jettisoned. The cosmos is a dream in the Mind of Shakti, the energy of the God-Self. Now, She is ending this dream that has become a nightmare and returning to Shiva, the unmanifest Supreme Intelligence.

Your passport to that miraculous realm is the Light of Grace you will receive in the instant of Self-realization. This is the focus of our upcoming retreat.

Only then can the mind grok the awesome truth that you are consciousness that has never been born and will never die. But the mental program of the ego must be eliminated to sustain the attunement to the Real. This teaching is exemplified in the fundamental tantra of the Dzogchen lineage.

The vampire is your ego. It produces incoherent and delusional attitudes that keep one paralyzed in the holographic nightmare. There is only one way to defeat a vampire.

The Immanent-Transcendent Real can be recognized and attained through the help of symbols. The traditional iconography related to the most ancient portrayals of the Supreme Beingness in the form of Shiva—whether as lingam, as yogi, or as the Lord of Dance. Recorded on the evening of Thursday, August 13, 2009.

In this selection of recent questions asked in satsangs, every ego's doubts, confusions, agonies, and theoretical speculations orbit around the same illusory premise that the ego mind's ontological status is real and has a grasp of the true nature of reality, rather than emerging as a bubble monad entranced in a dream. The solution is always to awaken and pop the bubble.

In this opening class on the analysis of a Buddhist book of poems on the attainment of enlightenment, we learn to focus on the unspoken implications of the text, to unravel metaphors, and to perceive contradictions and points of incoherence.   The Flight of the Garuda An Exploration of That Which You Are with Lama Shabkar 14 Session Book Study Group with Shunyamurti https://bit.ly/flight-garuda

Fasting from the consumption of ego thoughts, whether they arise from within or without, leads to the full emergence of the infinite Self as the true essence and nature of consciousness. A bit of will power is required. And that, in turn, is the result of grace.

An extensive reading of the wisdom writings of St. Isaac of Syria reveals the congruence of Christian mystical teachings with those of Buddhism, Advaita, and nondual Shaivism. The goal of meditation is unwavering stillness of mind. The Zero Point is coextensive with infinity and filled with supernal light, power, awestruck wonder, and blissful union with the Absolute.

This teaching is taken from Revelation of the Real: The Final Secrets of the Simulation and the Self. The complete retreat package is now available: https://bit.ly/retreat-package Description: Self-decapitation is the first step on the path. But chopping off the ego mind, though necessary, is not sufficient. If you stop there, you may be lost in emptiness. By adoring Para Shakti, the World Mother, the Mind underlying all appearance, you will be recapitated with a divine intelligence. Then you will be free from the phenomenal plane, recognizing it as a mirror image of your dreaming mind.

We are in an unprecedented low tide of life's ocean. Destructive forces are dominant. Reason has nearly disappeared. Law is a joke. Love is a myth. The meaning is a mystery. There is nothing to do but return to the Real, the Source of a new High Dreamtide.

Revelation of the Real: The Final Secrets of the Simulation and the Self | Online Weekend Intensive Guided by Shunyamurti | July 5 - 7, 2024 https://bit.ly/Secrets-Simulation We are fast approaching the paradoxical culmination of history. This will unfold as the nonduality of destruction and salvation. God's plan includes the transmission of divinizing shakti and the sacred anointment with the intoxicating nectar of infinite wisdom of those souls who are faithfully serving the Supreme Self by detaching from the unreal and abiding in the Real. You are invited to participate in our upcoming retreat in which the final secrets will be shared and your consciousness will be prepared for your ultimate apotheosis.

To be enraptured by the inconceivable beauty of the unmanifest Self, one must cut all clinging to identification with the bodily character one is playing in the holographic dream theater. Disinterest and dispassion for the fate of the icon will open the third eye that can then gaze adoringly at the infinite luminous glory of God-consciousness—and be filled with that splendor and majestic power.

Fewer can remain in denial with every day that passes, as time accelerates toward the Eschaton. All systems are breaking down. The entire suffering hell ream of the world will soon undergo euthanasia, and all will return to the Light of God. Let us voluntarily surrender our ego identity programs, so that we can be fully saturated by the blissful luminosity of the Supreme Self—and leave this video game victorious!

Psychoanalysis was developed by a neurotic ego and designed to enable other neurotic egos to function more productively despite their inherent internal conflicts. But psychosis was another matter. It is a condition that could not be fully theorized or manipulated by psychoanalytic technique, and so the bizarre mode of suffering of a psychotic person was repressed to justify its limited focus and non-existent success rate.

This teaching clip is taken from our most recent retreat, The Practice of Self-Mastery. Purchase the entire retreat package now: https://bit.ly/mastery-retreat Description: God's secret, that the ego cannot grasp, is that the unmanifest potency (the Supreme Lord) emanates the manifest world—the form of the Goddess—within unmanifest Mind. The dream is not other than the mind of the dreamer. The dream is a dance of duality in all its possible expressions. The phenomenal plane is also the noumenal: samsara is nirvana. One must not take priority over the other, since they are the same.

Our inherent nature is pure love. This divine Eros manifests as love of Beauty, love of Goodness, love of Truth, and love of the Infinite Mystery of the God-Self. But to return to the innocence of divine love, we must transcend the ego's demonic love of money, fame, domination, and self-deception. Only once our ego defenses have been demolished through surrender of weaponized thought, can the Heart open to the flood of divine love that has been dammed up within.

On a single day, various religions celebrate symbolically congruent holidays, but the names and myths obscure the unity of meaning behind the signifiers of difference. Yet, the pilgrims who take their destination seriously as an inner state of Being come to appreciate the divine humor of the illusory projection that seems to separate the many from the One.

Starts Tomorrow - Don't Miss! Online Weekend Intensive Guided by Shunyamurti - The Practice of Self-Mastery | May 17 - 19, 2024 https://bit.ly/Practice-Self-Mastery The age-old problem that must be faced by adept yogis is how to deal with paranormal abilities, known as siddhis, that often appear unbidden, or can be deliberately developed, as a result of the increase in their power of concentration, intensity of intention, and strength of will. One must not allow any egoic desire for, or attachment to, such powers to arise. The price would be loss of the prize of liberation from the wheel of karma. Possessing siddhis would then amount only to vanity. But if one's siddhis are surrendered to the will of God and employed only in divine service, if so ordained, then they can heighten the faith of other seekers.

Has your consciousness been hooked like a fish by the illusory lure of desire, penetrated by the point of fear, and trapped by the barb of belief in the ego's reality? If you have arrived at such a rebarbative condition of pseudo-existence, then it may be time to start practicing a form of yoga that will release you from the delusional capture in this dream field. But be prepared to face the truth that you have been caught by your Self, and only your Self can release you.

We are given a sneak preview of the next online retreat/seminar—The Practice of Self-Mastery—to be taught by Shunyamurti. We learn here the three essential aspects of practice, which involve cognitive understanding of the accurate paradigm of reality, the devotional love of the Supreme Self, and the attunement to the live vibrational frequency which carries the extreme (and ecstatic) intensity of the Absolute Presence. This advanced teaching event is designed to enable seekers to be ready to cope with the chaos that is rising rapidly throughout the world, as this dark age of demonic technological domination reaches its climax.

Do you have a question for Shunyamurti? Join us Live Online! | The Practice of Self-Mastery | Online Weekend Intensive Guided by Shunyamurti | May 17 - 19 | https://bit.ly/Practice-Self-Mastery When you find yourself in hand-to-hand combat with Evil that you realize has possessed a part of your consciousness, humility and surrender to God are essential to receive the power to gain victory. Never underestimate the ability of your own dark side to deceive you by projecting evil on others. Do not allow the ego to succeed in impersonating your Real Self. You have given the ego its power, and you are free to take it back.

The ego mind mistakes mental representations for the Real. The ego also excels at forgetting its resolutions and losing its clarity at key moments in which a decisive shift in the attitude could produce a change in the altitude of consciousness and give it a higher degree of freedom and power. The mental muscle is insufficient for the job. Only absorption of the sense of I into the infinite field of presence will avail.

Once humans collectively bought into the scientistic paradigm of mere physicalism, it was inevitable that all would be influenced as well by the nihilistic creed that God is dead. However, that news was exaggerated. All that died was the soul's connection to the light and wisdom of the Supreme Self. Now, it is urgent to shift from deicide to egocide, to attune to the vibrational frequency of Pure Presence, and to become free of all delusions.

The human ego, in its postmodern end-of-kali-yuga form, is obsessed with its bodily form and its self-definition. It desperately needs to create a defined personality with fixed views and prejudice against other paradigms of reality, since otherwise it cannot hold on to the feeling that it exists. The ego's lack of existence thus is repressed and over that black hole is projected the image of a self-fashioned fictional entity that believes it is real. The entity likewise constructs an unreal world on which it projects its many dissociated fragments with their desires, plus its shadow drives, foreclosed wisdom, and objects of both desire and fear. To awaken from this self-created hell realm, the consciousness must release its clinging to conceptualizations, including that of the imagined ego.

The power to overcome the entropic fragmenting and psychopathic decomposition of the ego complex that may be the operating system determining your subjective experience is not in your control. Therefore, the intervention of grace by an act of the higher intelligence to whom I owe my existence is necessary. But I must activate that power of gracious redemption from my hell realm. And that will require a genuine surrender.

You are in nonduality right now, but your mental activity obscures the Real. To return to your original and eternal Buddha Nature and God-Self, you must only become fully present—by stopping the thought stream and staying as pure awareness. Then, you will begin to understand the whole river of time and all the lives of high adventure in divinized consciousness of your once and future Self.

We are to learn from every event—so there is no such thing as a mistake. But yogis especially must learn constantly from the Inner Source, as well as from karma, dreams, physical symptoms, synchronicities, books and digital media—we must learn to stay accurately in line with the Dao, with the will of God, with the call of the Heart. At this moment, negative events are happening for everyone nearly all the time. Dark forces are dominant (even in our own egos), but even the shadow powers are feeling the effects of the law of karma. They, too, exist to motivate us to return to God-consciousness. We must graciously accept our karma with detachment and faith, and keep aligned with divine love and forgiveness. All is perfect.

It may be a useful exercise to entertain a few wild speculations about what could happen during the imminent solar eclipse. There is enough circumstantial evidence that strange plots are afoot to justify a warning to the wise: be prepared for anything. And since we are now in an unprecedented historic moment, on the brink of the end of the age, Pandora's box has been opened, and all the demons have been unleashed. It is urgent to attune to the Supreme Presence, and the attainment of Liberation.

Do you have a question for Shunyamurti? Join Shunyamurti live for a 5-day online retreat this Easter. The Mystery of Evil—and Its Overcoming. Don't miss, sign up today: https://bit.ly/overcoming-evil   The ego is concerned solely with the human level of relationality based on lack, need, rivalry, and resentment. This leads to the karma of abandonment, loneliness, and loss of sovereignty. If the ego is still sattvic and with noble traits, karma in Kali Yuga must involve betrayal, despair, and crucifixion. But this awakens the soul again to its divine nature and the illusion of having been forsaken is overcome. The release from the delusion of duality brings the bliss of eternal rest.

Consciousness has fallen into two correlative sets of delusions. The first is the delusion of false identity and its sequelae. This triggers the second set of delusions, those that create a false limitation of our intelligence, power, freedom, creativity, and time. We have a responsibility to overcome these false beliefs. Our primary tools in that project are faith, love, reason, and steadfast determination to realize the ultimate Truth.

Merge the attention with the Infinite Self—and all the forgotten secrets of the soul will be revealed. The atrophied powers of the higher mind are still latent and waiting to be activated. Drop dependence on external technology, which is oppressive, and relearn the mastery of thought—and gain the grace of freedom.

On the spiritual journey, there comes a point of no return. Then, one must take the risk of leaving behind the ego mind, and entering the realm of the Divine Presence. The macrocosm is on this trajectory, as well as every microcosm.

All the unforgettable teachings for this retreat are now available to own. The Recipe for Rapture: Why the World Must Now Be Sacrificed: https://bit.ly/recipe-rapture   Description: This explanation of Rene Girard's model of social functioning, based on the ego's uncertainty about what it wants, brings new clarity to our personal difficulties and those in the realm of macropolitics. The discourse describes the chain of effects brought about by coveting the attributes or possessions of a chosen other. These cascade from envy to imitation, to rivalry, and to some level of symptomatic violence. We must become free of scapegoating and being victimized, as well as from all rescue fantasies. There is an easy way out.

This is a clip taken from a recent conversation between Shunyamurti and Ryan McCormick, host of the Outer Limits of Inner Truth podcast. Watch the full interview: https://bit.ly/vigilante-shunyamurti   The ego is addicted to its distractions. Because at the core, the ego lacks inherent essence, and thus has subconscious negative self-esteem, it is always running away from—and defending against feeling—its vulnerable and wounded heart. There are ways to overcome this once we recognize the reality of our suffering and its inner cause.

As one goes ever deeper into one's inner being, past the ego and its shadow, the paradigm of reality shifts repeatedly as the perception is purified and accurate discernment of the Real comes more into focus. The enigmas presented by the false beliefs we were taught and then, more deeply, by the pairs of opposites that keep the mind split and in internal conflict and confusion, are gradually overcome. The outer becomes recognized as the inner. The Other is reclaimed as the Self. Unity is perceived pervading the multiplicity. The ultimate mystery is at last revealed. Freedom is regained.

In this extraordinary conversation, the secrets of history and eschatology are revealed. The story of our collective loss of grace—and the fall of the world from a paradise to a hell realm—and our current struggle to repair the creation by transforming ourselves through sacrifice of the ego and returning to our divine essence, will end in victory for the forces of light over those of darkness and evil. But for now, we must enjoy the suspense of not knowing the outcome—until we have become saturated by the purifying Presence of the Supreme Self within and beyond. This is a clip taken from a recent conversation between Shunyamurti and Ryan McCormick host of the Outer Limits of Inner Truth podcast. Watch the full interview: https://bit.ly/vigilante-shunyamurti

A realized yogi sheds his skin, but does not grow a new one. Since there is no outside and no inside to the Real, no skin boundary or defensive shield is either necessary or possible. The Self has no other, no enemy, and no limit. All fear drops away.

How to Be Free of Outer and Inner Distractions with Shunyamurti Shunyamurti became aware of yoga as a spiritual path at an early age and was immediately drawn to it. He spent many years of meditation practice and training in numerous forms of yoga, including apprenticeship with Baba Hari Dass, deep study of the life and teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, and ten years of vowed association with a Brahmachari ashram in India. The teachings of such Eastern approaches to consciousness as Sankhya, Advaita, Advaya, and the insights of esoteric Shaivism and Buddhism, have been supplemented by the intensive study of Western metaphysics, and profound exploration of the dimensions opened by entheogens. From formal study of transpersonal psychology and hypnotherapy, various forms of psychoanalysis, including Kleinian and Lacanian approaches, and post-Jungian analysis and dreamwork, to the perennial philosophies, including Taoism, Kabbalah, and mystical Christianity, to postmodern philosophy, Shunyamurti has been a lifelong student and meditator.
