“When the mind is completely free of thoughts of pleasure and appetites,
the mind dissolves itself in bliss.”
Ultimately, we all strive to be happy in one way or another. For the tantric sadakha, the world, a manifestation of the Divine Mother, serves as the means to enlightenment. The Samayan tantric does not make the world disappear, he or she makes it transparent to reveal the Infinite One, which is our own true Self. Life is not meant for “no’s”, but it must be free of materialism, the attachment to energetic forms, particularly those of the mind. This is a necessary step in our Samaya tradition. In these next four sessions, we explore the principles and practices necessary to be free, to actually live the beautiful song of life that Guru Dev Swami Rama demonstrated with his example and teachings.
Session 1: Natural Happiness - May 21 - 7:00-9:00 p.m.
A spiritual journey is best understood as the uncovering of natural happiness, or what in our tradition is called ananda. In this session we explore the nature of genuine and natural happiness, and how to experience this as our true identity.
Session 2: Mind: Master or Tool? - June 18 - 7:00-9:00 p.m.
In this session we explore the veil between you and the Reality of Sat - Chit- Ananda. Our thoughts and beliefs can be either a power for expansion or a tyranny of contraction. The key lies not only in our understanding the nature of mind, but also how to effortlessly direct the mind rather than struggle to control it.
Session 3: The Kama Kala: The Sacred Triangle - July 16 - 7:00-9:00 p.m.
In this session we explore the tantric sacred triangle of power and delight, the Kama Kala. Knowing how to access and utilize your will, knowledge , and action provides the certain path to enlightenment.
Session: Samaya: The Inner Path - August 20 - 7:00-9:00 p.m.
We each must find our unique path to freedom. Gurudev led us in the inner path (Samaya) where all practices are internal. While the external (Kaula) and middle (Mishra) paths are often the starting point, eventually we must turn totally inwards. Understanding your unique strengths and weaknesses is essential for success in your inward journey.
