Newcomers Questions  

 

 
  Is this about a cult or a religion? Will this interfere with my own religious beliefs?  
 

 

No. This is not about forming any cults or religions. This is a journey to healing the self. You can be of any religion, caste or creed to follow this path. Healing the self of all that causes it pain and misery has nothing to do with religion. If it did then considering that most of us belong to some religion or the other, we would not be suffering. Healing the self is about acknowledging the pain, seeing its impact on our lives, letting go of it and moving to a space of celebration within ourselves. It is about getting in touch with the larger mystery of life and losing our suffering selves to it. It is a journey to the spirit that is untainted and free from all conditioning.

We have lost ourselves to the demand to conform to a larger social order, to morality, to values, to culture, tradition and notions of sin and virtue which often have little or anything to do with who we are and what our real aspirations and dreaming selves belong to. Our desires, our needs, our truths have little space to breathe in the self that the world constructs for us. Our suffering is nothing but a symptom of this false self.

Healing therefore is about rediscovering our original being, free from all notions of the world we live in.

 

 

  What is the purpose of the website?  
 

 

This website has been created with the sole purpose of providing the modern mind with a modern path for searching the divine through journeying the self. A search free of dogma, religious intolerance, gender discrimination and biases of caste, creed and religion. A search free of alien rituals and austerities. A search that is in sync with the times that we live in. A search that draws upon the wisdom of the sages and translates it into simple techniques which can be applied in this age and are acceptable to the consciousness of today.

Modern man/woman has lost all relationship with the spiritual endeavours of long ago. We don't have the time or the inclination to fast for days on end or to give up everything and retreat into the Himalayas. Neither do we have to anymore. Man can search for his essential self within the framework of his existing setup. This is primarily made possible through the evolution of his consciousness. Today's consciousness contains within it the collective wisdom of the last twenty centuries. Our souls therefore are able to access and draw from this wisdom in a time and energy efficient manner, which was not possible in the past. This extraordinary ability is mans biggest strength in today's day and age. The evolution of his consciousness has enabled man's access to the divine in the speediest way possible. This website attempts to point to the wisdom within for those who seek their own ultimate potential. Its only aim is to help you reach the ultimate ecstasy and freedom possible for man in the simplest and most scientific way possible.

  Is this path scientific or spiritual?  
 

 

Modern man is scientific. He depends on logic and rationale to determine and set the parameters of his forays into all aspects of self and life. Therefore the journey to the spiritual, in order to be effective, must use scientific techniques that are palatable and understandable to the modern mind.

The spiritual includes the scientific but the scientific is not necessarily spiritual. This path is about understanding the spiritual in scientific terms and through scientific techniques. We use logic to lead us to what is beyond logic. The scientific is all about the application of logic and the spiritual is what emerges in the absence of logic. To journey into the unknown we use the known. To journey into the mysterious we must journey through the evident.

For example if sound did not exist we would not understand silence. Therefore logic demands that in order to access silence within ourselves we must first journey through the sound that surrounds it. It is only through the journey of the evident that that which is hidden can be revealed. Any rejection of sound can only lead to its suppression. When we understand the nature of sound we are able to move beyond it into silence.

The spiritual is vast and incomprehensible to the modern experience of thought that limits itself to formulas and prescriptions. It is also understood to be in direct contrast and rejection of the material world, which has become of immense importance to man in this age. The scientific approach eliminates all distinction between the material and the spiritual and uses the former to journey into the latter. In other words nothing is rejected, everything becomes a stepping-stone to discovering the infinite self that is the infinite divine.

The scientific approach also ensures that all experiences along the path to the divine are born from a direct experience of the self, no matter how narrow or limited we experience it to be, and not from external dictates. These realisations and experiences then begin an expansion of the self, which is also experienced directly as our own truth. In order to access the heights we must move from the lower to the higher. The mind based on logic must use techniques of logic to move beyond logic and access the spiritual.

The journey to the spiritual is scientific but the experience of the spiritual lies beyond the boundaries of the scientific techniques that it uses.
