This is Why You Must Be Alone During Your Spiritual Journey
Highlights from our previous gathering
Single handedly, what is the root cause, the infectious thing that creates a disease of the soiling of the environment, water, soil, air? To my understanding, one fundamental thing if we can tackle, will solve these problems. that is, regulate your thought pollution. How can you regulate your mind?Embrace spirituality. Meditate.

We also watched this video form Swami Sarvapriyananda.
In this video, we delve into the common struggles faced by those on a spiritual journey, from dealing with others’ concerns and facing loneliness to navigating existential crises and inner doubts. These experiences, though challenging, are integral to facing life’s showerings with courage and for spiritual awakening.
Rupert Spira on the Location of Consciousness
Although consciousness looks through your eyes, it does not mean it is located behind your eyes. Where could it be located?

Vasant Lad on Peace and Sound
No no no. There is no difference between the peace and sound.
Vasant Lad, Ayurveda Physician
Sound is peace and peace is sound, There is a great deal of peace
when you listen to the call of a bird, the cry of a child or a bell of a church.
That peace is your awareness.
You walk with peace, you eat with peace and you talk with peace.
Rupert Spira on Separate Selves
All apparently separate selves are always tending towards their source, their being, seeking peace, happiness, love and beauty.
Rupert Spira
In reality, of course, there is no real separate self either to seek happiness or not to seek. It is infinite being that, seeming to become separate, attracts itself back to itself.
Francis Lucille on Consciousness
If I deny the experience of consciousness, I deny the existence of a perceiver. Where does the sense of I come from?

Anil Ananthaswamy on the Question of “Who Am I?”
Maybe we can just marvel at the efforts of people over millennia, from the Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree to the modern philosopher and neuroscientist who has asked themselves the question “Who am I?”
Anil Ananthaswam
Who or what is doing the experiencing, of our lives? This experiencing “I” in the question “Who am I?”
is at the heart of the debate about the self.
Dr. Vasant Lad on Activating a Marma Energy Point
Like a door or a pathway, activating a marma energy point, opens into the inner pharmacy of the body. The body is a silent, universal, biochemical laboratory—operating every moment to interpret and transform arising events.
Touching a marma point changes the body’s biochemistry and can unfold radical, alchemical change in one’s makeup. Stimulation of these inner pharmacy pathways signals the body to produce exactly what it needs, including hormones and neurochemicals that heal the body, mind and consciousness.
Murdhini marma, is the energy point enabling moment to moment awareness, meditation.

Tyler Wauters on Walking in the Woods
Tyler Wauters:
Walk in the Woods.
When we walk through a forest path, there is a vibration sent out that is a form of communication, a form of language. When we enter a forest, it is up to us to learn how to communicate with it by communicating with our own inner workings, mending the relationship, by igniting the knowing that the forest is the nature within us, that we are not separate.
Our work here is to connect to our inner nature and to connect to nature that is all around us.
