In this enlightening and soul-nourishing talk, Pramod points out, “Shunyata is the matrix of all that exists, of every object of our desires. The easy process of creation may be summed up like this: summon forth what you want from shunyata and to tap into shunyata, meditation is one of the best known ways. So see your mind vanish. Rest in shunyata and from there, attract what you want. This is attracting from shunyata. All your desires, even the seemingly trivial ones, are important because your desires originate in the soul of the Universe and whatever it is that you want, you have even the support of the stones and the sticks of the fields because the entire Universe will conspire in helping you to achieve it.” Tune in to wisdom gleaned from personal meditation as well as Eastern philosophical treatises which are as old as the hills, such as the Tao te Ching and the Madhyamika Karika Vrtti to some of the latest self-help bestsellers and groundbreaking books on Quantum Mechanics, in this thrilling intellectual roller-coaster ride!

Be free. Let the thoughts come and go. Embrace any thought that makes you feel good. When the thoughts begin to become too noisy, demanding or repetitive, just slip into the space between them and stay rested in the lightness of the Sacred Space. Chanting is a magical way of quieting your mind and the very ancient Yoga Sutra by Patanjali says, “ ... (When the mind) is clear of thought waves, (it) achieves sameness or identity with the object of its concentration.” In meditation, we focus on the pregnant Sacred Space. This is not some form of twisted pessimism or nihilism. Instead, it is a joyful indulgence in the magical act of creation itself, because the space contains all that exists, which definitely includes all that you want right now and all that you have ever wanted - that perfect, lucrative, satisfying job, that beautiful lover and those divine moments of connection and ecstasy. Therefore, when we quiet our minds in deep meditation, we are not pulling back from life. Instead, we are actively plunging into the ocean of life, ready to take in all that life has to offer, all the vibrant colors and intense experiences.

Let go of that seriousness. There is nobody who is actually able to always stay in a place of allowing or a place of zero resistance, or as the wonderful teachers Abraham-Hicks say in their most recent book, 'the swirling vortex'. It'll be really naive to assume that anyone will be able to stay in the vortex forever. It is impossible. And the earlier you accept it, the better. We should understand that resisting resistance is absolutely futile. So let go of the resistance when you can and when you cannot, let go of that frustration about not being able to let go of it. This talk will help you make peace with resistance and the dual nature of this universe.

Note: This is the live recording of session one of a talk on love and relationships which was delivered by Pramod.

In this entertaining talk, Pramod speaks on how to attract loving mutually fulfilling relationships to you, not through specific activities, but by relaxing into the Flow and letting the Universe do the unpleasant work. The deepest mystery is when there is no need for that other person anymore, you magically enter into the Flow where at every walk of life you encounter only the most beautiful aspects of the most compatible men and women out there, whether it is the man behind the counter at the supermarket or your colleague. This is sort of like meeting men or women everywhere you go and not just at a restaurant where you are having a formal dinner. Also, included on the tape is an incredibly simple guided meditation aimed at helping you move closer to your soulmate without further time lag.

Life is not a conflict between opposites but a polarity. We cannot have a magnet with only the north pole. The "this" is also "that." The "that" is also "this." That the "that" and the "this" cease to be opposites is the very essence of Tao. The self and the other is also another such polarity. We didn't come into this world, we came out of this world. When we manage to adopt such a more holistic view of life, true magic begins. Then we have the power of alignment with the whole universe, alighment with all that is! Then a sense of wellness and wholeness flows in!

Are you one of those who find it really hard to meditate because you just can't empty your mind? Are you looking for an easy technique that will assist you in quieting your mind? Here's a very easy meditative exercise aimed at assisting you in cultivating the space consciousness. As we cultivate space consciousness, we experience a subtle deep peace within us, even in the face of something seemingly bad. Suddenly there is a space around events, a space around the emotional highs and lows, even around pain. As you do this every day, life becomes friendly toward you; people become helpful; circumstances cooperative; all that you want flow to you and through you in effortless perfection. This meditation incorporates soothing sounds of nature from a rainforest which were recorded using 3D holographic technology, gentle ambient piano music and sacred Indian mantras.

Whatever we are fighting against, we get more of. This truth was summed up in four pithy words by Carl Jung. He said, "What you resist persists." We know it is true. We beat upon ourselves asking why even though we know it is so true, we don't remember it when we should really remember it. It is easy to forget that such bucking of the current or the Flow will only add to our pain, will only generate more suffering. But resisting resistance is also resistance. When we don't resist the forms the Now assume, we are able to access the power of Presence. This is the moment when we decide how we are going to use this moment because it's not ever going to get better than right now - until it gets better right now!

Most of us are not very comfortable with silence. A few of us are terrified by silence and try our best to avoid it. The practice of silence helps us create an inner sense of equilibrium which encourages genuine wellbeing. Such feelings attract fulfillment and a strong faith that the universe is beneficent. A deep sense of equilibrium and wholeness helps us to create abundance. Anxiety or a sense that something is missing shows up as lack. Law of Attraction (LOA) is always at work bringing to us all that matches up with our inner feeling picture. Ever wondered where all the scarcity come from on this planet? Obviously, no one consciously uses the Law of Attraction to create scarcity. Yet, if you look around, a sense of "not enough" is clearly one of the most powerful thought-forms on this planet. Perhaps this is very much intertwined with the way we make love.

When we become one with the compassionate Observer within us, we realize in our soul that we are limitless, that we can cure us of any diseases, that no “trouble” can affect us, that we just cannot feel hunger or thirst or tiredness feel we do not want to feel it! Above all, we become fearless. It’s such a relief when we finally get a glimpse of our own eternity! As the Hindu manifestation of God, Krishna, says in the Bhavagad Gita, “Our soul is immortal, eternal, imperishable. Weapons cannot injure it; water cannot wet it; fire cannot burn it; wind cannot dry it.”

Immobilizing feelings such as extreme rage or depression are powerless by themselves. It is the identification with those feelings that is the real issue. We can always detach ourselves from our own feelings and thoughts, for we are not the thoughts but the Thinker of the thoughts. And this Thinker is divinity itself. This Thinker is always above the thoughts. Even if you feel the thoughts are impure, they just cannot make the Thinker impure. This Witness is pure love; It is a Compassionate Witness and It always observes the world from a standpoint of total non-judgmental love. When we become one with the Witness by going within, we remove ourselves from the material world where we have the pain and suffering. Cultivating the Witness is out ticket to absolute freedom. Go for it!
