Dear Friends,

I have written this article to address the confusion that I notice often arising about 'working' on yourself, reaching particular states, letting go and surrender.
Many paths say that to observe the world from an enlightened perspective requires a great deal of inner work. I agree that as long as we are in a state of duality, it remains necessary for us to continue making the conscious choice not to enter into old, limiting, negative patterns of fear.
This definitely requires a great deal of inner work. Every choice in every moment is based on fear or love – so what are we choosing? As long as we are unable to experience this energetically, not daring to make contact with our suppressed emotions, we can experience the spiritual path as a struggle, which requires a lot of work. When we totally claim our emotions as a tool for living in the world, we will experience the emotional charge energetically, living it consciously and experiencing a feeling of openness and oneness. We don’t need to make things difficult for the outside world and the experience of suppressed emotions can be one that we undergo entirely on an inner level. (And if it gets too intense, it can be wonderful to scream it out in a place where you won’t bother anyone else!)

Our emotions are our attachments and memories of an often painful outer world and the dissolving of emotional blockages is synchronous with the healing of (child-parent) relationships. When an emotional charge is no longer attached to an emotion, you are free to use that emotion to direct to your life. For example, if you are angry it will be much easier to say "No!” to those things which do not serve you.

I think that many paths mean the same thing relating to this point.

From another perspective that you encounter quite a lot in Buddhism and Hinduism, you can say that by definition, the self is illusory. We exist as an identity because of various emotional charges which alternate with one another and which, by the quick co-ordination of the senses, give an overactive mind a concept of self-awareness. So there is no self to be enlightened and no need to work on yourself: the only option is to let go and by doing so you connect with everything and become everything.
The Western brain is in a constant state of overactivity. As a world population, we represent the collective embodiment of one Global Brain. Because of this, we are often holographically synchronised in our collective patterns of limitation and stress. Therefore, we often don’t have easy access to the enormous amounts of light and energy which are described by those who have had 'near-death-experiences' or other such experiences of enlightenment.

The amount of awakened people who are living in a true state of light and oneness at this moment is still too small to transform the other brain cells (people) of the Global Brain all at once. The idea of a Global Brain stems from the vision held by the Mayans and you could say that the physical world is a mirror-image, a macrocosm of the human brain. Professor Calleman writes in his book ‘The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness’ (http://www.calleman.com) how and why here in Western Europe we represent the left hemisphere of the Global Brain together with America, which is why for example, we function far more individually than people from India or China who represent the right-brain hemisphere and one group consciousness. (On this website, he goes into more detail about the true Mayan calendar count and on coming into resonance with the divine plan).

Slowly but surely, as we approach 2011, we are undergoing a synchronisation between the left and right brain-hemispheres in our process of enlightenment. The experience of time is a function of the left-brain hemisphere and when left and right, male and female respectively, are synchronised, the concept of time will dissolve. This is the reason why the Mayan calendar recognises an end to time.

So what is the function of the deeksha in this? Deeksha is a highly concentrated cosmic energy which is programmed to dissolve all fear and suppressed emotions. The deeksha initiates a powerful, energetic process of transformation. The deeksha energy originates from two Avatars who live in a state of total universal oneness; you could call them a totally enlightened brain cells. These Avatars, Bhagavan and Amma, are not radiating this energy as personalities. There is no longer any question of them living in ego-based awareness. They are an embodiment of universal consciousness which has the ability to activate other brain cells (people) via deekshas and in this way initiate a transformation in the collective consciousness. The result of this is that the feeling of a separate sense of self dissolves.

So it is not the case that they transmit this energy from a sense of personality - more that their dissolved state enables them to give other people (cells) the ability to enter oneness and transform others from their state, which embraces all emotions in oneness. It is necessary during our process of transformation that we peel off the layers of the self (ego) one by one, until only oneness remains. It takes courage to look at all the dark places in ourselves and to feel them consciously.
The transformation processes that people enter into as a result of the deeksha can be extremely profound. In order to support those who feel the need for contact during their process, please do so.
