Wisdom Teachings - Sat Yoga, Costa Rica

Excerpt:  “So if God made you an offer, that all you would have to do to help save the world, would be to silence your mind and immerse yourself in the divine presence within consistently, completely, once and for all, and that that would be the greatest gift you give to the universe and to yourself, would you do it?  Because that is the offer that God has been making for thousands of years…  it is what every spiritual tradition teaches….  Surrendering to God means surrendering the attention, the thoughts, the mind, to the presence that is already within you, at the core of your own consciousness, which is a very sweet blissful silence…  and that energy that can radiate through the channel of your own mind’s focus will fill the world with peace and divine love and that energy is so powerful, that if the flow of it is continuous, it will change the course of history; it is that strong.  We just need a critical mass of beings who are dedicated to that supreme holy work, and a Sat Yuga is born…  a

Excerpt:  “What is being taught in Sat Yoga, and what has been taught since the beginning of time, is to perceive things as they are...  to perceive reality as it is...  and this means to perceive from the place of truth...  the place within that is free of illusion - free of projection - free of distortion - free of any filters that create an inability or a block or an obstacle to realizing what is….   And what the sages teach from out of that pure realization of the self is that it is an illusion that there are entities.  This is not a world made up of a bunch of separate entities, but that a single intelligence and a single real and a single truth - a single being....  Supreme Being expresses its nature in the reflection of the nature that is this phenomenal plane that we call the universe….  We meditate in order to get in touch with that highest level of truth, so that we can perceive free of all the filters which are the cause of our suffering....  The illusion of being a separate entity in a world of en
