Hi Satchi and Devi.


You must both be wondering why we are not replying to you, well, we keep meaning to but life keeps getting in the way time and time again. Just a blockage. Going now, Anna tried to write to you and got a returned notice so i hope that this is going to get to you both. I am going to try and attach her mail to you in this.

The mail from Anna was not attached. As you say, just a blockage but it is these blockages which prevent Illumination.

As you know, after the start of Energy Enhancement we start to encounter the real deep blockages which prevent Enlightenment.

Always a human being is split between the soul infused personality which is grateful. Which knows just how much help it has been given on the path of Enlightenment.

And then there are the splits, the real deep blockages.

These splits in general hate Devi and I.

They say Bad things about us.

They never want to see us again, because we are death to these real deep blockages.

They make up all sorts of intellectual arguments, without any deep meaning or significance, so that they never come to see us again.

All is well here and we are both working hard paying the bills on a daily basis , chopping wood and carrying water, no different. Went with Anna and the boys and two of their friends to see the Dali Lama in Ireland and loved every minute of it, what an energy. it was the boys first brush with someone that spiritual and boy did it spark debate and give them a huge energy boost. Didn't get to go to Cyprus in the end for my week away, couldn't affoard it after the Ireland trip but seeing and being with the Dali Lama more than made up for it. I was so excited I felt like a little schoolboy. I have felt quite at peace with myself since coming back.


I am so sorry to hear such news of your parents, it must be double difficult for you, being so far away from them, in the end this is the way for all of us. Even though Mary Minihane was not blood i none the less felt the rip when she left, the feeling of being a little bit on your own, so easy to forget that in our constant doings, life marches on whether we wish it or not, even though we may be aware of the transnational nature in every thing, we experience the loss none the less. We too went to visit Anna's parents while in Ireland, I had not seen them in quite a while and the opportunity to see them is rare so it was very nice to see them both. They too are in the twilight of their life and talking about it.
 

My father came to me four days before he died.

I was able to release his karma and send him to heaven.

Just as I did that, he died.

Anna has grown up a lot since coming back from being with you, that's a good way to put it , Her own words. Going from strength to strength, much more confident and in control of her emotions, less swinging and more steady. She turned to me the other day in the office, looking me straight in the eye and said, this is all so much bollocks. I knew what she meant. what can you say to that?
On more than one occasion she has mentioned the hermit. I think that to see things from another perspective did her a lot of good, also Anna was not quite prepared for how basic everything was in Brazil and that brought a lot of questions. I think she found it very noisy, polluted, dirty and distracting and from her description and looking at the photos and clips i have to say i kinda agree.

Here you have the split between the Soul Infused personality and the splits.

As for me, I think that Anna received just the right amount of pressure and pollution. The gift of pollution is that it enables us to see our blockages more. As without, so within!!

The proof is in the Psychic Visions she received, the light she absorbed, and the psychic mechanism - the triangle of chakras in the head - she was given as a present by my higher self.

That which you are both going through now is the gift of our meeting.

Anna said that you do not do the heart sutra because you do not want to draw attention to yourselves. What is the point of being in a place like that? Satchi... that's my honest opinion. I could shout the sutra here from the roof tops and the most reaction I would get is a lot of people joining in, the Dali Lama recently announced to all that they should do a heart sutra for Japan. Are you sure you are in the right place? It sounds to me you have landed in a place you do not want to be in.

Always and in every location we practise the policy of invisibility because we know the strength of the elite BMs and we do not want to twist their tails. Many masters have underestimated the elite and thus have been crucified, poisoned, assassinated (Ass Ass in). You have to balance teaching with the egotistical "Look at me!" sometimes necessary for publicity. Personally I have enough troubles with the sub personalities of my students to want to invite more trouble from them.

Chanting is a ladder to enable us to go higher.

Yet my talents do not depend upon such low techniques as drugs, sex, Hatha Yoga and chanting - all of which I could use to enable that quantum leap of energy which is considered enlightenment. I spit on them all!! They can all be used by the dark side to numb the mind into thinking you are actually doing something real, and to thus pervert. For example BM practises are Drugs sex and rock and roll!!

Instead I am the source of the Light and everyday I shine that light and fill up my students.

It is called the Buddhafield.

Anna was complaining about the intensity of that light.

She said she needed sunglasses.

Eventually she had to leave my presence because the light was to strong. Too upsetting to her sub-personalities.

That day, she went back to her room so tired. Went to sleep in the middle of the day, and reported dreams which showed her the problems with her spiritual body in the form of dirt and heart.

Maybe you should both come over here to Kent next year for a month and stay with us and see for yourselves. Have an English holiday.

I have begun to introduce talks on strategies and sub personalities opening debate and looking at others near us and working out their strategies. Also working with information on which brain we work from and why and in what situations we flip over.The result is much more introspectiveness and far more intelligent responses to situations and incidents. We are growing together instead of apart. thank you both.

This is my gift to you. But Anna had to be prepared to accept it. She accepted what she could, but there was so much more she rejected. Karma Kleaning.

Everything is a little hectic in life at the moment, we are getting the house ready for the students, trying to paint everywhere and work every day at the same time, but hey, it feels OK, life is that, We don't always practice every day but we practice none the less, today was a practice day, things are quite mellow even though we both know we are in debt up to our eyes and just doing it every month, we know we are here for the duration and have to settle in to life and enjoy the ride.

We are both invited to Peru for December 20012 for three weeks to be in Manchu Pitchu with Anna's friend who she went with last time, we are also invited to in to the jungle for one week to partake in the ayawaska ceremony with the shaman elders. I am going, try stopping me. That has been in my number one to do list for a very long time and i am so excited that the opportunity to do this is opening. My dreams manifesting.

Well I hope this gets to you and finds you both in good health.

The path of illumination is not over until the fat lady sings.

The easy blockages are easy to find but the really deep ones need the expert help of a master who is willing to work with you. Buddhafield is not enough!! Of course the blockages are very happy with the students who merely play with techniques which can not possibly work.

As has always been our plan, we intend to sell this house after doing it up and sell it at a profit.

We are also expecting more money from other sources, which always takes time to manifest.

Our plan is to buy land in the countryside - over a hectare - 10,000sq mts - which we think we can get for 7500US$!! and then build houses on the land so we can live there.

So, we are busy.

Love and Light,

Satchidanand and Devi Dhyani
Love to you Both.

NOW THE DISCIPLINE OF YOGA --

Athayoganushasanam.

NOW THE DISCIPLINE OF YOGA. Each and single word has to be understood because Patanjali will not use a single superfluous word.

NOW THE DISCIPLINE OF YOGA.

First try to understand the word "now". This "now" indicates to the state of mind I was just talking to you about.

If you are disillusioned, if you are hopeless, if you have completely become aware of the futility of all desires, if you see your life as meaningless -- whatsoever you have been doing up to now has simply fallen dead nothing remains in the future, you are in absolute despair -- what Kierkegaard calls anguish. If you are in anguish, suffering, not knowing what to do, not knowing where to go, not knowing to whom to look, just on the verge of madness or suicide or death, your whole pattern of life suddenly has become futile. If this moment has come, Patanjali says, NOW THE DISCIPLINE OF YOGA. Only now you can understand the science of yoga, the discipline of yoga.

If that moment has not come, you can go on studying yoga, you can become a great scholar, but you will not be a yogi. You can write theses upon it, you can give discourses upon it, but you will not be a yogi. The moment has not come for you. Intellectually you can become interested, through your mind you can be related to yoga, but yoga is nothing if it is not a discipline. Yoga is not a shastra; it is not a scripture. It is a discipline. It is something you have to do. It is not curiosity; it is not philosophic speculation. It is deeper than that. It is a question of life and death.

If the moment has come where you feel that all directions have become confused, all roads have disappeared; the future is dark, and every desire has become bitter, and through every desire you have known only disappointment; all movement into hopes and dreams has ceased:

NOW THE DISCIPLINE OF YOGA.

This "now" may not have come. Then I may go on talking about yoga but you will not listen. You can listen only if the moment is present in you.

Are you really dissatisfied? Everybody will say "yes", but that dissatisfaction is not real. You are dissatisfied with this, you may be dissatisfied with that, but you are not totally dissatisfied. You are still hoping. You are dissatisfied because of your past hopes, but for the future you are still hoping. Your dissatisfaction is not total. You are still hankering for some satisfaction somewhere, for some gratification somewhere.

Sometimes you feel hopeless, but that hopelessness is not true. You feel hopeless because certain hopes have not been achieved, certain hopes have fallen. But hoping is still there: hoping has not fallen. You will still hope. You are dissatisfied with this hope, that hope, but you are not dissatisfied with hope as such. If with hope as such you are disappointed, the moment has come and then you can enter yoga. And then this entry will not be entering into a mental, speculative phenomenon. This entry will be an entry into a discipline.

What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos. As you are, you are totally disorderly. Gurdjieff used to say -- and Gurdjieff is in many ways like Patanjali: he was again trying to make the core of religion a science -- Gurdjieff says that you are not one, you are a crowd, not even when you say "I", there is any "I". There are many "I's" in you, many egos. In the morning, one "I"; in the afternoon, another "I"; in the evening, a third "I", but you never become aware of this mess because who will become aware of it7 There is not a center who can become aware.

"Yoga is discipline" means yoga wants to create a crystallized center in you. As you are, you are a crowd and a crowd has many phenomena. One is, you cannot believe a crowd. Gurdjieff used to say that man cannot promise. Who will promise? You are not there. If you promise, who will fulfill the promise? Next morning the one who promised is no more.

People come to me and they say, "Now I will take the vow. I promise to do this." I tell them, "Think twice before you promise something. Are you confident that next moment the one who promised will be there?" You decide to get up early in the morning from tomorrow -- at four o'clock. And at four o'clock somebody in you says, "Don't bother. It is so cold outside. And why are you in such a hurry? We can do it tomorrow." And you fall asleep again.

When you get up you repent. And you think, "This is not good. I should have done it." You decide again that "Tomorrow I will do;" and the same is going to happen tomorrow because at four in the morning the one who promised is no more there, somebody else is in the chair. And you are a Rotary Club: the chairman goes on changing. Every member becomes a rotary chairman. Rotation is there. Every moment someone else is the master.

Gurdjieff used to say, "This is the chief characteristic of man, that he cannot promise." You cannot fulfill a promise. You go on giving promises, and you know well you cannot fulfill, because you are not one: you are a disorder, a chaos. Hence, Patanjali says, NOW THE DISCIPLINE OF YOGA. If your life has become an absolute misery, if you have realized that whatsoever you do creates hell, then the moment has come. This moment can change your dimension, your direction of being.

Up until now you have lived as a chaos, a crowd. Yoga means now you will have to be a harmony, you will have to become one. A crystallization is needed; a centering is needed. And unless you attain a center, all that you do is useless. It is wasting life and time. A center is the first necessity, and only a person can be blissful who has got a center. Everybody asks for it, but you cannot ask. You have to earn it! Everybody hankers for a blissful state of being, but only a center can be blissful. A crowd cannot be blissful, a crowd has got no self. There is no atman. Who is going to be blissful.

Bliss means absolute silence, and silence is possible only when there is harmony-when all the discordant fragments have become one, when there is no crowd, but one. When you are alone in the house and nobody else is there, you will be blissful. Right now everybody else is in your house, you are not there. Only guests are there, the host is always absent. And only the host can be blissful.

This centering Patanjali calls discipline -- ANUSHASANAM. The word "discipline" is beautiful. It comes from the same root from where the word "disciple" comes. "Discipline" means the capacity to learn, the capacity to know. But you cannot know, you cannot learn, unless you have attained the capacity to be a Disciple..
