In praise of rebellion

Posted on Jan 09, 2012 by Avikal
Rebellion is an effervescence in the soul, a creative whirlwind of awareness, and the natural drive of evolutionary instinct that takes form. To stop rebelling means to stop evolving, which means an attempt to halt this natural force; a natural force that continuously seeks self-expression in the present moment, creating what I am moment by moment in a new, original and unpredictable way. To stop rebelling means betraying the fundamental pulsing of desire and of the life force that every one of us manifests in a way that is unique and unrepeatable. It means betraying the great Cosmic....[read more...]

Waking up is not enough. 3

Cleaning up: to know my shadow and purify myself of my reactivity.
Most people believe and hope that a final moment exists when everything is done, concluded, when only light is left, when integration is complete and perfect.
This hope prevents them the living of THIS moment and the reality of light/shadow.
“A clinical psychiatrist questioned Suzuki Roshi about consciousness. “I don’t know anything about consciousness,” Suzuki said. “I just try to teach my students how to hear the birds sing.”

Waking up is not enough. 2

What does it mean to become an adult? What does it mean to mature emotionally?
In my personal experience everything has been a big mess until I didn’t realize experientially:
1. That there was a fundamental difference between emotions and feelings. That emotions are feelings locked in time and charged with values, judgments, beliefs,habits and, more than anything else, attachment. Emoting then has nothing to do with the present but it is rather a reactivity that repeats acquired patterns.
2. That I had learnt to feel from the feminine....[read more...]

This blog is the first of a new series and you are invited to actively participate.
Lets get clear! Lets throw down from the altars the idols of the past and the idealizations of a spirituality of renunciation, a spirituality stuck on transcendence and far away from daily life. Its time is past! What is the sense today of sitting under a tree deep into one’s own realization while ignoring life, affects, challenges, creativity and evolutionary responsibility?
My personal experience, my life as an Osho’s disciple, the very longing of my....[read more...]

Enlightenment?

Posted on Sep 04, 2011 by Avikal
Below you will find a circular process of understanding that begins with enlightenment and ends with enlightenment showing in a concise way the connection between the idea of enlightenment, ego, the identification with the body, the duality inside/outside, the formation of the concept of time/space and the urge to become rather than be.
1. Enlightenment doesn’t exist but for the ego believing in its own ignorance. Only in personality exists the conviction that there is something deeply wrong in ourselves and that therefore we need to change. This conviction is so....[read more...]

Don't let your understanding become more baggage!

Posted on Aug 08, 2011 by Avikal
 
 
It’s now more that ten years that I teach how to change our relationship with the Inner Judge.
Thousands of people have passed through my courses and those facilitated by Karuna, Kapil and Rani, and one thing is clear: what we teach does work.
But, does it work for everybody?
No, it doesn’t work for all the people and it does work in different ways too.
What then makes the difference? What makes the teaching and the understanding efficient for some and not for others? What makes it a dead weight for some....[read more...]
