What is happening to you right now is your only reality and you cannot do a single thing to change it. You are not responsible for it and no amount of personal effort can help. " (from the website)</p> <p>It is essential that I understand but there is nothing I can do to facilitate this understanding, nor am I responsible for my state of non-understanding.<br /> Why bother to teach meditation, lecture, perform hundreds of rituals?</p> <p>And we should all be comfortable living in, and participating, in a society that is obsessed with sex, money, appearances, status and power? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/350#post-7320 Fri, 08 Jun 2007 17:22:22 +0000 abuddha 7320@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>American Buddha literally means "Practical Awakening". American Buddha is a state of being, where one is able to enjoy the ancient revelatory consciousness of a Buddha or a Christ, while living comfortably in the modern world. Usually, these two states are considered mutually exclusive. Why? Awakening is the product of an Eastern Mystical culture. Over time, the true knowledge of Awakening has become shrouded in austere rituals and a myriad of complicated techniques. The result is that most holy men, saints, sadhus, etc., are not comfortable living in modern society. Now the higher states that they are experiencing are heavenly. They are beyond any earthly pleasures. The problem is that individuals in these states don’t have a life. What I mean by this is that they don’t have families to raise. They don’t have homes with mortgage payments. They don’t have 9 to 5 jobs. In fact, they don’t participate in the societal drama at all. This is non-productive for our world. We need Awakened farmers, firemen and fry cooks. We need an Awakened society. The purpose of American Buddha is to merge modern material prosperity with Buddhahood. One should not exclude the other.<br /> My name is Stuart Mooney and, for more than 35 years, I have taught yogic meditation throughout the world. I have lectured on the subject of "Meditation and the Nature of Higher Consciousnes" at more than 100 major Colleges and Universities. I am a classically trained behavioral scientist. I hold a Masters in Psychology. In the early 70’s, I was involved in groundbreaking on the Psychophysiology of Meditation. I was one of the first clinicians to employ meditation in a Psychiatric setting. For more than three decades, I have been in an intimate relationship with a number of Gurus, Avatars, and other evolved souls. Over the years, they have authorized to teach more than 100 esoteric (privately held) meditation techniques. While I was living in India, an ability to heal and to transmit Shakti spontaneously manifested. I healed and blessed thousands in the temples. I have been authorized to transmit Knowledge under the authority of the Shankaracharya of South India. I have also been trained to transmit Oneness Deeksha under the direction of the reknown Avatars, Amma and Bhagwan. I was a lecturer in Psychology at the University of Madras as well as at the Police Training College in Chennai. I also saw patients at the Banyan Hospital in Chennai. I have studied, extensively, with the Brahmin Priests of South India and have assisted in the performance of over 700 Vedic Rituals.<br /> In 2004, I underwent a spontaneous shift in consciousness, which has afforded me deep insight into the experiential nature the awakened consciousness. I claim nothing for myself. I do not believe in labels. I am not enlightened, awakened or a guru. I am not in Satori, Nirvana, or Samadhi. I am. I exist. That’s it. That is my only true biography. That is all you really need to know about me.<br /> This website exists in order to share the spiritual in a format that is more palatable to the western mind. I am a pragmatic, rational individual who has undergone a dramatically transformational experience. I am not interested in philosophizing. I am here to discuss the practical applications of Awakened consciousness in contemporary society. I do not, in any way, endorse withdrawal from life. Life is to be lived and earth requires active participation.<br /> For more information please visit <a href="http://www.americanbuddha.net." rel="nofollow">http://www.americanbuddha.net.</a> </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/79#post-1084 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 15:27:37 +0000 agyat 1084@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>I am fortunate to have so many blessings! :D </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/79#post-1080 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 14:10:43 +0000 starlight 1080@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>hey aggy, last time i was able to get there...you had not, in a while...and now i can not get back on the discussion part of it...probably something to do with my pc. had to take it to the doc a while back, and now it is really predjudice! haha...love to you anyways, star. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/79#post-1071 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 08:07:32 +0000 agyat 1071@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>For the question asked in my last post, well, the choice is always yours.... :D </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/79#post-1065 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 23:27:08 +0000 starlight 1065@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>why must mind be heavy? don't know about you, but a heavy mind gives me a headache! </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/79#post-1045 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 16:45:40 +0000 YaMaH 1045@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>we do not want our minds to be light, we want our hearts to be light.
