From my heart to yours

Dearest Friend,

You are in a position where you could reach out to the world and make a genuine, powerful difference, adding to the process that efficiently alleviates suffering and brings life-altering insight concerning the fact that mankind is in grave danger right now. Mankind is very close to a very serious collapse, due to an incredible amount of accumulated greed and ignorance that is now reaching critical mass.

This collapse is about to take place on many levels simultaneously, financial and economical, environmental and political.

Many people, however, remain in utter blissful oblivion of this or, if somehow perceiving these dangers, believe they will not be affected by the coming changes (this is called normalcy bias, a socio-psychological term).

We are close to the collapse of civilization, as we know it.

Time will show us that affording ourselves the luxury of not responding to the disturbing signs everywhere to the full extend that we could, remaining at the sidelines in this war between light and darkness for strategic and tactical reasons that we believe will protect our career, continued social climbing to reach the top of success ---- will be a huge mistake the depth of which will only become clear as we mature more as souls. Or simply put, time will tell.

I deeply sympathize with the focus on the next step, a step that will bring us… well, what? Bring us … more of what we already have? I too was in that position once, of calculating the next step that was designed to bring me more and more. Until one day I lost $1,000,000, which changed my life and made me realize that I had gotten off the path, that I was lost in WANTING MORE.

What loss does one require to awaken to that which is most essential in life?

How much is enough? How much more do we want from life and the universe before we make a decision that now is the time to give to the world and no more just take from it?

It is important to reflect if our taking is well balanced by our giving. It is important to remember that we depended on people helping us to get where we got and in mindfulness of that to reflect if we have become helpers to others.

I am free to speak my truth. I have found freedom in ways that you cannot even imagine. I have discovered detachment from the world, from what people think about me and in that discovery I found something totally shocking: I found happiness.

I never thought happiness was connected to detachment. Therefore when it came, I was amazed. Detach from desires, from wanting, from people’s approval and their responses and immense freedom and happiness will result. We think happiness will come if some outer condition changes, if something is less, something else is more – then happiness will be there, it will be greater and better.

Big mistake. It does not work that way.

This is a letter of a different kind, one of those not often seen in life. We are not impressed with fame and wealth. We are only impressed by seeing powerful action from the radiant core of the soul, where there resides the electrifying courage to take substantial action in the face of that which is recognized to be evil. We are impressed with compassion in action that is based on acute awareness of what is taking place in the world. The moment we become aware of something we know is wrong, we become responsible. We become a participant and our silence becomes supportive of that we know is wrong.

We are impressed with compassion in action that is fearlessly courageous and ready to fiercely enter the battle for those values that reside at the sacred center of the sentient soul. We know those values to be kindness and love. And we know that to stand up and act on behalf of those values is not for cowards and the faint at heart. We know this requires a lion heart, the ability to move against all kinds of societal currents, the currents that are dominated by indifference and unconsciousness. It requires the living ability to move against dark threats, real or imagined. It requires awe-inspiring civil courage.

One of my favorite sayings is “Evil Grows Where Good People Do Nothing.” The world is full of those good people. Don’t be one of them.

Sincerely,

Andreas

On Power

When truly powerful experiences of inner opening begin to happen to the individual, surprisingly they tend not to come in the way one might imagine what constitutes “power.” We think of power in the way of superman, being able to do anything and being unstoppable.

More often than not, hugely powerful inner openings come to me accompanied by a great sense of awe and feeling immensely vulnerable and feeling more like a small child than superman.

The power of spiritual realization exists more along the lines of the power and the beauty of a freshly blossoming rose flower. It takes a good while and much care to get there, but could be erased or disregarded in a second.

How to Erase the Obstacles in Your Life

& Manifest the Life of Your Dreams

With Andreas Mamet

June 25 & 26, 2011

in Matera, Italy

Mantra Yoga is an ancient system that has been used to calm the mind, bring connection with the soul and also create conditions in your life that bring more happiness. Mantras have been used for thousands of years, not just to find enlightenment, but also for very practical purposes. In this workshop we learn and practice mantras to remove painful obstacles in our daily life and also mantras to manifest our dreams.

We will introduce contemporary techniques that have their roots in ancient traditions. When these techniques are applied they have the power to transform your life and bring you to a deeper connection with your true essence. When you are connected with your true essence then you are able to clarify your goals, remove your obstacles and begin to create the life that is in harmony with your soul purpose. We will be sharing:

Mantra

Here we learn the chanting of the Sacred Names of the Divine. Every religion has Divine Names used to express longing and devotion to the Divine. We will explore different types of chanting to calm the mind, open the heart and heal ourselves on the deepest levels. Sacred Sound can bring one in direct contact with the Holy of Holies. When done daily, this practice has the power of changing your life positively.

The Power of Invocation

Invocation is a way of calling the Divine in his/her different manifestations. We will learn the spiritual laws of invocation and will be introduced to different manifestations of the Divine that can change one’s life circumstances. Invocation can be very useful when you find yourself stuck and need your circumstances to change in the right direction. We use different names of the Divine from many different religious traditions.

Hands-On-Healing

Here we share with the group the power of Hands-on-Healing and invocations and mantra. When the power of healing hands, invocations and mantra are combined, life, as you know it, can truly be rearranged into circumstances that bring you to a deeper spiritual experience and fulfillment. We will be sharing and teaching how to combine these techniques together.

Andreas Mamet has been on the spiritual journey since 1973 and was initially trained in Hatha Yoga, Mantra and Kriya Meditation. In 1975 he went to the Himalayas in India for six months. There he received further training from yogis in caves and ashrams at the Ganges and the Tibetan border. In 1976 he returned to India. For the next 5 years he continued to deepen his practice there at the Ashram of his Master Osho.

In 1981 he toured Japan, the USA and Germany where he began to give his SHAKTI workshops that were aimed at sharing with participants what he calls “the opening of the inner space.” He lived in Mount Shasta, CA, for 18 years.

His work is on Youtube, Facebook and www.teachingsinparis.blogspot.com. His e-book “Sutras For Contemporary Times” will soon be published as paperback in France.

Individual Mantra Energy Sessions with Andreas

In these sessions Andreas selects specific Mantras and Invocations for your specific problem or life situation and for one hour he chants over your body, combined with Laying-On-Of-Hands. This session can change your evolution in a very powerful, positive way.

The Blessing of Lineages

Even now beings like Ramana Maharshi have awe-inspiring influence and bring tangible awakening to human consciousness in ways that profoundly touch my heart. Once a contact with such a source is made, one is spoilt forever, because all the lesser sources ... willl never again do. And I am filled with living gratitude at the continuing existence of such Dharma lineages.
