Gut bin ich gelandet, sicher bin ich von einem hervorrgenden Fahrer vom Flughafen in ueber 3 Stunden zum Ashram gebracht worden und wunderbar bin ich inzwischen schon zwei mal mit heissem Oel von weichen Haenden ayurvedisch massier worden. An habe ich immer noch die selben Kleider wie bei der Ankunft, denn mein Gepaeck war nicht so schnell wie ich. Der Flieger von Stuttgart nach Istanbul war so verspaetet, dass ich meinen Anschluss schon ohne mich wegfliegen sah. Mit einem kraeftigen Sprint quer durch den Istanbuler Flughafen habe ich es aber gerade noch geschafft. Die im vorherigen Blog erwaehnte Gelassenheit hat mir sehr geholfen. Drueckt mir die Daumen, dass ich in den naechsten Stund en an meine Habseligkeiten komme. Dass sie schon im Lande sind, weiss ich, das beruhigt. Das Willkommen war so herzlich, die ganze Familie hier ist so offenherzig, dass man sich einfach sofort dazugehoerig fuehlt. So viel Liebenswuerdigkeit ist ganz besonders. Die Kinder - in 5 Klassen an der Schule hier machen morgens selbst angeleitetes Yoga - es macht Spass und steckt an - gewiss werde ich teilnehmen, sobald meine entsprechenden Klamotten auch hier sind. Darueberhinaus ist es zwar in der Stadt sehr, sehr laut, aber hier kommt auf Grund der besonderen Atmosphaere gleich eine innere Ruhe auf. Gleich gibt es Abendessen - egal, zu welcher Tageszeit, auch die Mahlzeiten sind wuderbar - sehr schmackhaft - genau, wie auch der echt indische Chai! Herzlichst, Namaste an alle Leser! Anja

DEUTSCH Der Rucksack ist gepackt – es ist derselbe, der mich bereits 1999/2000 auf meiner Weltreise begleitet hat und der immer noch voll intakt ist. In Vrindavan, eine Stadt mit ca. 60.000 Einwohnern am Flusslauf der Yamuna erwarten mich Temperaturen von 20 bis 25°C – so muss ich nicht so schwere Kleidung mitnehmen. Die Frage, die ich in den letzten Tagen am häufigsten hörte, war: bist Du schon aufgeregt? Was ist das genau: aufgeregt sein. Es ist ein Gefühl, das entsteht, wenn man an etwas in der Zukunft denkt, über das man keine Kontrolle hat und es Sorge erzeugt, wenn man daran denkt mit der Eventualität, dass etwas dabei „schiefgehen“ kann. In erster Linie handelt es sich aber um ein Gefühl, das entsteht, wenn man bestimmte Gedanken hat. Denkt man nicht daran, entsteht auch dieses Gefühl nicht. Meine Antwort auf diese Frage, stellte man sie mir genau im jetzigen Moment, wäre: Ich sitze jetzt hier auf dem Sofa im Wohnzimmer an meinem Laptop und tippe diese Zeilen – warum sollte ich da aufgeregt sein. Ich habe es inzwischen ganz tief verinnerlicht: Bin ich mit meiner GANZEN Aufmerksamkeit und Konzentration (Zentriertheit) in mir im Jetzt, in diesem Augenblick, kann ich die Kraft der Präsenz am besten nutzen. Bin ich in Gedanken in Vergangenheit oder Zukunft bei Situationen, die mir Sorgen bereiten, dann habe ich keinen direkten Zugriff auf eben diese Kraft. Und ich möchte in jedem Fall genau diese Kraft nutzen können, damit – eben wenn mal etwas schiefgeht – ich auf sie zurückgreifen kann und ohne lähmende Angst dieser Situation wach, ruhig, gelassen und neutral begegnen kann. Dies ist so logisch für mich, dass ich mich nicht mehr davon abbringen lasse, mich weiterhin kraftvoll darin zu üben, ganz und gar präsent zu sein. – Gerne bin ich Botschafter des JETZT! ENGLISH The backpack is ready to go – it is the same that accompanied me on my trip around the world in 1999/2000. Vrindavan, a city with around 60.000 inhabitants by the river Yamuna, awaits me with about 20 to 25°C – so there is no need to pack a lot of heavy clothing. The question I got asked several times within the last days was: are you nervous? What exactly is that: being nervous. It is a feeling that arises when you think about something in the future, over which you have no control and it fills you up with concern if you consider that something could “go wrong”. Primarily it is a feeling that is born if you have a certain thought. So if you don’t think about it, no disturbing feeling comes up! My answer to that question – if I was asked right now – would be: I am sitting here on the sofa in the living room and write these lines on my Computer – why should I be nervous? I deeply internalized it: When I am in this Instant with the whole of my alertness and concentration – only then I fully can benefit from the power of now. Am I, instead, in thoughts about yesterday or tomorrow in situations that cause anxiety then I won’t be able to get a grasp of this very power. And I really want – in any case – be capable to use this power – especially exactly then if there is a problematic situation which asks my full attention, so that I am able to meet a “problem” without sorrow or fear, but with awakeness, calmness and neutrality. This is so very logical for me that I will never ever cease to train myself to be fully present, to enjoy the present of presence. – I love to be an ambassador of the NOW!

...mein erster Eintrag war auf Englisch, nun soll der erste Deutsche folgen... und auch den möchte ich mit einem Dank aus tiefem Herzen an Ramona beginnen, die mir in der Vorbereitungszeit immer umgehend mit Antworten auf meine Mails zur Seite stand!!! Ganz wunderbar. Unbeabsichtigt hatte ich noch zwei schöne Begleitungen in meiner Vorbereitungszeit, so finde ich: ich hatte mir den Film "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" ausgeliehen, den ich nur wärmstens empfehlen kann und dann war ich in dem Kinofilm "Pi - Schiffbruch mit Tiger", der auf eine ganz andere Weise ebenso kraftvoll ist. Das Buch hatte ich schon vor langem gelesen und es war damals schon "tief in mich eingedrungen". Nun ist mir sehr bewusst, dass die ganz eigene echt Reise nach Indien einen noch viel tieferen Einduck bei mir hinterlassen wird und ich bin schon sooo gespannt, mir bewusst, dass ich verändert wiederkommen werde...

Thank you, Ramona - for me there is no other way to start my blog! Already my very first contact via Email with Ramona made me feel warmly welcome at the Ashram. All the questions I had since my booking during the preparation were answered by Ramona within one day! So now it is one more week before I leave for Vrindavan and I am really looking foreward to all the experiences and sharing them in this blog! Anja.

Within one generation technology has brought the world together in ways unimaginable to most people. We have extended our awareness through satellite, cellular and fiber optic applications. The World Wide Web has created a global mind with information being shared with millions in seconds; ideas move through the World Wide Web much like thought moving through fields of neurons in our brain.

 

Where we used to have most of our classes in a room, now most people are dialing in through teleconference lines, and listening to our classes on their PDA's and iPods; we grew from a few hundred to tens of thousands all over the world in just a couple years! Our Institute is virtual, each staff member works out of their home, and I rarely even meet the students I work with in person. It's not necessary; transmitting Shakti is even more effective virtually since the teacher is not the person but the spirit that is non-physical.

 

This adaptation of technology has also provided an opening in consciousness that enables me to connect with you in ways unimagined in earlier times. Where Shaktipat had traditionally been transmitted through physical touch or presence from teacher to student, it is now broadcast virtually like a satellite signal to students all over the globe. For the first time in history people half way around the globe can connect with the Shakti anytime by simply "tuning in" to the life force that passes through me to you. In this way we join in spirit and commune in Divine Grace. We are all connected in spirit.

 

This month we launch our Membership program. Now anyone with a computer, anywhere in the world, can connect energetically to our spiritual community and radically accelerate their instinctive evolutionary enlightenment. The spiritual connection is transferred through voice, written words, and through spirit itself. You have been called to awaken from the dream and fulfill your life purpose. You are part of a growing body of people who are being led to full enlightenment and you know this instinctively. Your enlightenment is creating the critical mass that is shifting the collective consciousness of humanity so we can all live together in happiness and peace. I look forward to sharing with you more.

That which causes life within you, is you. The spirit that animates your physical being is an expression of your consciousness…it is known as Shakti. Your consciousness is what is reflecting upon these words and guiding you to read them. Observe your mind thinking. Who is observing these thoughts you are thinking?

 

When our body and mind are congruent with the expression of consciousness flowing through you there is clarity, happiness and peace. To the degree your mind is incongruent with your spirit there is resistance and pain. Pleasure and pain serve as benchmarks of your state of consciousness. They are your guides on your path to enlightenment.

 

The more connected you are with your spirit and the expression of consciousness flowing through your body and mind the happier you are. The more conscious you are the more peace pervades. All your life experiences are providing you the opportunity to learn and grow and evolve your consciousness to its highest expression…full self-realization.

 

Each state that you evolve to carries a higher energy. You "conduct" your state of consciousness. By tuning into higher states of consciousness you become familiar with them. When I meditate with you, in person or not, my spirit and yours connect and you naturally tune into these higher states, this is called Shaktipat. The more familiar with these higher states you become, the more you reside in them until you experience them all the time. This is an easy and enjoyable path to enlightenment. Experience it for yourself.

For the world to enlighten we must first enlighten, and bring this higher awareness into every facet of our lives including business. Capitalism affords the opportunity to aspire to achieve a better life, liberty and happiness, but all too often also breeds greed and corruption. At a lower state of consciousness the ends justifies the means, at a higher state it benefits society. In a “materialistic” culture money becomes the God, that we seek and humans become devalued.I have spent a lifetime studying God and money, and from my perspective when serving others is the goal, greater good and profit result. I have a plan, a way that brings out the best in capitalism and it is simply this:

Rather than trying to make money, our goal as individuals and businesses should be to make a difference. If we can make a real contribution, that contribution is valued and we become valued and money comes. This is the key to the Law of Attraction: it’s not trying to get what you want, but helping others with what THEY need or want. If we only seek to benefit ourselves, or a select few, then we miss the greater value of making a difference. Making a difference, making a contribution to other’s lives, is what life is all about; and it’s good for business too. We find greater purpose and meaning when we make a contribution. Just making money will not fulfill you, making a difference will.

If we really do care and want to make a difference, then we think green, we think sustainable, renewable and what is in the best interest of others including the generations to come. To seek to make money and not account for the costs in terms of its long term affects on our society, our natural resources, and our environment is a short term gain (financial) at a long term cost, which is bad for business and our society. To promote products and services that benefit the well being of all, through your purchases and investments, adds value to the world, to spend and consume for pure self interest is short sighted and costly to society. The more conscious we are the happier we are both individually and collectively.

To improve the world we must first intend to. As we think prosperity, happiness and peace, we create it. The world around you is a reflection of your state of consciousness. When you care about the welfare of your employees, they provide greater productively and loyalty to your company. When you care about your customers, they support your business. This has been tested again and again and proven to be true. Think in terms of what you can do for others and watch your business grow… and your heart; profit as a prophet.

From the heart,
Steven S. Sadleir

That which caused life within us is us. The life force energy, or spirit, that animates our own existence is an expression of the consciousness that lies at the very core of our being. The same spirit that is causing my heart to beat is also causing yours to. This underlying spirit is creating and guiding all life through the universe. You are a part of this greater wholeness of being. Being aware of this interconnection is Tantra.

 

Tantra literally means "that which extends." It refers to our awareness extending beyond the form and into the underlying essence of all that is…enlightenment. The Tantric Yogi's of India, and later Tibet and China, connected with the life force within themselves to connect with the Source of life itself. Once you realize the Source of life within yourself you realize the Source of life itself...God Realization.

 

The meditation that we teach is Tantric. It comes from an ancient lineage that dates back thousands of years through the Siddha lineage in the Tamil Nadu state in South India. The part of Tantra that people take the most interest involves yogic sexual intercourse to achieve Divine Sexual Union. By first recognizing this Divine Presence within your partner, and by your partner recognizing this Divine Presence within you, you both serve to help each other to raise your consciousness. Your lovemaking becomes a spiritual discipline or yoga.

 

By bringing your energies together and consciously moving this sacred energy between you and within you, you can awaken your consciousness and experience profound states of bliss…like an orgasm, but stronger.

 

From the heart, Steven S. Sadleir

We human beings are instinctively being guided to evolve. As with all creatures, we must adapt to changes in our environment to survive and flourish. We can see evidence of this evolutionary trend in our physiology, our society, and in our technology. Our brains continue to develop, an increasingly large percentage of humanity is becoming literate and educated, and technology has provided immediate access to billions of people's minds through phone cells and chip sets. Satellite and Internet infrastructure is providing a "global mind" where we see and think the same thing at the same time, as one consciousness. The critical mass of what we think shifts the consciousness of individuals on a global scale. How we think affects the quality of our life, and even our survival.

 

Each day of your life you are provided experiences where you have to make choices in how you think and behave. The more conscious you are the more those choices bring greater happiness and peace into your life. You have learned from your life experiences what brings greater pleasure or pain into your existence, and have adapted your ways of thinking, feeling and behaving to increase the pleasure in your life and reduce the pain. The more conscious you have become, the greater clarity, happiness and peace you have gained by evolving your conscious awareness.

 

Your instinct has guided you to learn, and grow, and evolve to your highest potential, and it still is. You have been guided to these words to reflect on them. The more conscious you become of how you are being guided, the more you will see how you are being guided. The more conscious you become of the consciousness that is guiding you, the more conscious you become. Your consciousness evolves the more conscious you become of your consciousness. As you become more conscious you gain greater clarity, happiness and peace. It is only when we become unconscious that we think, say or do things that hurt ourselves or others. Only unconscious people hurt others, lie, cheat, steel, abuse or hate. Only an unconscious society disrespect others rights, destroy its natural resources, overpopulates or wages war.

 

We evolve through the tests and trials of daily living, both individually and collectively as a society. Lessons learned help to evolve us, but when we are not conscious of what we are being tested in we fail the test and get tested again and again until we learn and either further evolve, or perish. You have been guided to this moment of introspection in order to reflect upon your own place in the evolution of your own consciousness, and the role you might play in awakening the collective consciousness of humanity so that we might all live together in happiness and peace. You are part of a rapidly growing segment of the population that is awakening to full consciousness. Your individual awakening is contributing to the critical mass that is shifting the consciousness of the planet; you are preparing the way for an evolutionary leap in human consciousness. You are building the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
