Nirmala's Blog

(The following is an excerpt from the book, Nothing Personal, Seeing Beyond the Illusion of a Separate Self by Nirmala.)

“Be here now” is a classic spiritual instruction, which essentially means to be in the present moment. It points towards something that is already true, towards something that is unavoidable. It’s like me telling you to sit the way you’re sitting. You’re already doing it. You’re already being here now. No one has ever successfully left the now. If I told you to be somewhere else now or to be here some other time, you can’t do it. It’s too late to be somewhere else than here. When you just stop and look, you see how ridiculous it is that you could be anywhere else than here or that you have to do anything to be present in the now. Then, why do we even talk about it?

We talk about it because there are two kinds of nows: There’s the real now, the now that is happening, and what you could call a fake now, a made-up now, one that doesn’t really exist. Instead of experiencing the real now, we’re often experiencing our fantasies about the now. We experience something that’s not really happening. It’s like we go to sleep and have a little dream in the now, an experience of a non-existent now. Anytime thought is occurring, you’re experiencing something that’s not really happening. Even if I talk about something wonderful, like Liberation, what happens is you go inside and have a fantasy about Liberation, which is not what’s happening right now. It’s a made-up now.

We narrow our attention onto an idea about something that’s not here in an attempt to make it be here. We think that if we fantasize enough about something, it will happen; as if, for instance, fantasizing about a spouse or roommate picking up after him or herself will actually make that happen. We live in an internal, magical world, like the world of a young child, where we believe our wishes have the power to change reality.

Our capacity to fantasize is like having a machine that prints counterfeit money. We’ve all been desperately printing off counterfeit realities, and they don’t do us any good. Our fantasies never work, we can never buy anything with this fake money—it’s got Mickey Mouse on it instead of George Washington. It doesn’t do us any good.

Even when the instructions “Be here now” are given, the mind can turn it into something to do. It then creates a fantasy of what being here now would be like, and we experience that fantasy. That’s what happens when we try to be here now.
At other times, we either forget to generate a fantasy or we’re just so exhausted from the effort to maintain our fantasies, dreams, illusions, preferences, and ideas that for a moment we collapse from that effort and land in the real now.

Rather than turning this instruction into something you have to do—you have to stop fantasizing—the invitation is to experience whatever you’re experiencing now, even if what you’re experiencing is a fantasy. The point is not to shift what you’re experiencing now but to actually experience it. If what you’re experiencing now is the veil of illusion being ripped aside, exposing the real now in all of its glory—great. And if what you’re experiencing now is a thick veil of fantasy, conceptualization, and desire—separation from the real now—great. Then, that’s your experience. The invitation is to really experience that because that’s the experience you’re having, so it’s the only one you can have. The alternative is just not available right now.

When we’re desperately trying to experience the reality of these unreal things, there’s never any satisfaction, only dissatisfaction. Trying to make your fantasies real is never satisfying. Paradoxically, when we fully experience the inherent dissatisfaction of our hopes and fantasies, that is satisfying. It’s so satisfying to be real, even if that means being real about the fact that you’re lost in an unreal thought. Satisfaction lies in what is happening. By being willing to show up for whatever experience you’re having, you begin to experience the real now. Only when you show up for the emptiness of your dreams do you get to experience the fullness of what is happening in that moment—the sound of the birds, the light in the room . . .
When you begin to include more in your awareness than the content of your thoughts and fantasies, you realize the fullness of now. Now is ridiculously full; it contains everything, including your fantasies. It’s not only there in your fantasy; it’s also here in reality. The now has no limits, both in terms of space and time. It includes everything that is. Now already is everything that was and everything that ever will be. So, what do you want to give your attention to—an empty fantasy or this bursting reality?

This isn’t meant to suggest that you should try to change the fact that you have dreams and fantasies and hopes. This ability to imagine other possibilities is a great gift. Practically speaking, it’s very useful to be able to generate an image of something that’s not present. For example, if someone says to you, “Meet me at my house at noon,” this ability to imagine gets you to the right place on time. However, the value of this ability is limited.

In addition, this capacity to experience a fake now also serves us by allowing us to experience the fullness of the real now through contrast with the emptiness of a fake now. If there weren’t this capacity to live in illusion, then it would be meaningless to talk about living in reality. There is no way to distinguish the experience of reality unless you also can experience unreality. This is the reason we create illusion: It eventually makes us connoisseurs of reality.

(The following is an excerpt from the book, Nothing Personal, Seeing Beyond the Illusion of a Separate Self by Nirmala.)

“Death” most often refers to the death of the form, but the experience of dying doesn’t just happen when the body dies. Every experience you’ve ever had has died, and everything you’re experiencing now is in its death throws. Of course, in every moment, there’s also a birth—a new moment is being born. It’s tricky to see this in the moment, but if you reflect back, you can see that everything that has come before is now dead and something new has taken its place.

This is a profoundly different view of how things happen than we’re used to. Our concept of change is a misunderstanding: Reality isn’t actually capable of change. Nothing ever changes; it can’t. All it can do is die and be reborn. We think that something changes into something else. So, we go back and look at what happened before something changed to try to find the cause.

But that’s not the way it happens. What really happens is that an old experience dies and a new one is born. There’s no connection between what was and what is now, no cause and effect. In every instant, the universe that you know dies and a new one is born. Once you see this, time doesn’t make sense anymore. There is no past that causes the present that causes the future. Life comes fresh each moment, completely unlimited by what came before. There’s no telling what will be born in the next moment.

We can’t see, for instance, how sadness changes into allowing because it never does. Sadness never becomes anything; it just comes to the end of its natural life. At some point it finally dies and something else unpredictable takes its place.

The question is, How willing are you to see that what is happening now in this moment has no relationship to the past? It’s a little weird, and yet a lot of things suddenly make sense, such as why it rarely works out the way we expect when we to try to change something. One way of saying it is Being doesn’t need to recycle. Being is limitless, so it just throws out the old and tries something new.

There’s a powerful sense of a flow of time. It seems like the present is affected by the past, and the future is affected by what you do now. That illusion is really convincing. That’s how good Being is at this game. But every now and then it throws out a whole new universe that doesn’t at all correspond to what just was, and then we’re left confused.

One of the ways this illusion gets maintained is through memory. Memory is the attempt to keep a dead moment alive. One way you see this is in a traumatic experience. In that moment, the experience seems to be too much, so rather than experiencing it fully, consciousness contracts and the experience goes into a memory or pattern of tension in the body. Because we weren’t ready to be there completely with that experience, we put it aside, where it remained undigested. This strategy makes sense when you’re a child and you don’t have the resources to be with an experience.

Experiences like these need to be digested. Once you see that whatever traumatized you is no longer here and that you aren’t a child anymore, you can handle looking at it. When you do this, you feel lighter. Anytime you let one of those dead corpses from the past go, you feel lighter. It doesn’t need care and feeding anymore. What a relief. Trying to keep anything alive that’s dead is a lot of work. No one has ever succeeded, even though we’ve all tried to keep some experience, some state, some perspective, some identity alive.

Every me that we’ve ever thought ourselves to be is like a zombie—the student me the adolescent me, the little boy/girl me. They’re just corpses; there’s no life in them. They’re totally imaginary. So, how do you change or heal the child or adolescent me? The healing comes when you see that this me doesn’t exist anymore; it’s an imaginary corpse you were trying to animate and fix or an imaginary experience you were trying to animate and re-write. But when you check, you can’t change it; it’s dead—and naturally so.

This simple realization is the end of the problem. When you get up close enough to an experience, you see that it doesn’t exist anymore. You see the truth of it—that it’s no longer here, and that frees you from that particular illusion of cause and effect.

There are two ways to go about this. One way is to go directly to this moment, where nothing from the past exists. Meditation and inquiry are both designed to bring you to this place where nothing exists. Nothing exists because it’s already dying by the time you notice that it’s been born. That’s how quick life is happening. When you come to that place, you realize that nothing’s around long enough for it to exist and that nothing that ever happened still exists. That’s the direct route, and it can dissolve all limitations in an instant.

The other approach is taking it bite by bite: You digest all that undigested experience. You work on your issues by bringing up those experiences. When you do this, it often feels like a burning. You experience an intensity, but now the experience doesn’t exist, so no matter how intense it is, you can handle it. And then something weird happens, and the experience is no longer an issue. That something weird is that you realize that the experience doesn’t even exist: You bit into something and found out that there’s nothing there.

When you digest one of those experiences, you do feel lighter and something flows and your life gets better and your relationships get better because now there’s room for that; you’re not relating to the dead parent or the old spouse that was around yesterday but to whatever is being born in this moment.

The problem with this approach is that it fosters the illusion that all of this work on ourselves is going to do away with our problems. It can easily turn into an attempt to create a better me, one who never has a difficult experience, and that’s not realistic. Besides, there’s an endless supply of dead problems; new ones are being created every moment. So with this approach, you’ll never be done. It’s not that there’s no place for this approach, but the point isn’t to create a better me but to become free by arriving fully in this moment.

I shared my favorite definition of the soul this past weekend in the Q&A session that was part of our four-day Christ Consciousness Transmissions retreat: The soul is the sum total of all of our experiences throughout all time. I like this definition, as it implies that every experience adds to our soul, and conversely, no experience can diminish or reduce our soul. In simpler terms, we learn from and therefore benefit from every experience, even the difficult or painful ones.

Q: Someone emailed their perspectives: I really liked your definition of the soul being the compilation of all one's experiences through many lifetimes. It made sense to me as a function of the Intelligence that designs the next life experience to balance karma, etc. However, back in the 80's I was part of a study group from a channel/medium. Their definition of the soul was a bit different than yours in that all the Good, learning, and expansion experienced on the earth was accumulated into the soul experience at death, while the negative stuff (fear-based) was left on the earth plane to be healed and released at a later time. Meaning, we, or someone else, had to come back and take it on to experience it and let it go. I actually came across a sentence in ACIM this morning that said something like this: "there is only Good in heaven," which goes along with that concept. As Jesus, through Gina says, the earth plane is dense and contracted, maybe because of all the fear stuff that gets generated and left behind for us to eventually heal.  Given the state of affairs these days, there's lots to heal, although I do recognize the importance of the power of the Good increasing in "light" of the negative that gets focused on and reported in the media. 

A: Thanks for sharing your perspective. I approach the idea of good and bad a little differently. My sense is that all there is, is good. But not everything is equally good, and some things have so little goodness that they can be dangerous and even harmful. But even the murderer is trying to take care of something (usually trying to protect themselves or their loved ones). But when someone acts from a horribly narrow and contracted idea of what is good, then again it is harmful and often also not even very effective at accomplishing the desired outcome.

You can broaden this view by observing that all of the things we think of as opposites or dualities are actually just different amounts of one thing. Light and dark (and everything in between) are just different amounts of light. The only things that exist are photons...there are no such things as darkons! Same with heat and cold. Cold is just the word we use to describe the experience when there is less heat. And there is always some light and heat everywhere in the universe, so there is never the complete absence of light or heat.

So back to the definition of the soul: the experiences we have that are very dark and painfully lacking in goodness still add to our soul....but they do not add very much. So it is still immensely preferable to have experiences that are full of light, love, goodness, etc. as those experiences add immeasurably more to our soul. And as our soul evolves, we become more discriminating and gravitate more and more to the experiences that fill us with light, love and joy.

Perhaps instead of the negative experiences being left behind, they are eventually awash in so much goodness that they hardly register anymore. This is similar to how when there is a lot of light, we can no longer experience much darkness. And if those "negative" or "less good" experiences do have continuing repercussions here on earth, that ultimately is more grist for the mill for other souls to work with and learn from. Difficult experiences can give other people more opportunities to learn, and hopefully more opportunities to choose wisely and move on from the fear and pain and into fuller experiences of the goodness, joy, peace and love that are also always present in our essence.

Ring in the New Year by Immersing Yourself in Christ Consciousness Energy

 

Here is the Zoom link to use for all 12 sessions of this special online retreat:
 

 
 *Note: If you will be joining us by telephone, follow the directions on this page.

 

Experience four days with up to 12 Christ Consciousness Transmissions (CCTs) on Thursday through Sunday, December 30, 2021 to January 2, 2022. We will offer three CCTs on Thursday, Friday and Sunday at 9:00 am, 11:00 am and 1:00 pm, Pacific Time, and three sessions on Saturday at 9:00 am, 1:00 pm, and 5:00 pm Pacific time. Most Sessions will last about an hour, except that the first session on Saturday at 9:00 am will be two hours long and will include an open discussion period where you can ask questions about the transmissions or spirituality in general. This retreat will be an opportunity to set aside four full days for immersion in the energy of the transmissions. However, you can attend  just some of the sessions if you can't make it to all twelve.

You do not need to sign up ahead for this retreat. The suggested donation is $180 for all 12 transmissions (or $15 per session if you can only attend some of them). Or you can donate whatever is affordable or attend for free if necessary.  Here is a button to donate on Paypal (or use this alternative payment service--you can also mail a check to Endless Satsang Foundation, PO Box 20433, Sedona, AZ 86341):

Suggestions to maximize the benefits of the retreat:
 

The twelve gatherings in this online retreat of Christ Consciousness Transmissions will follow the same format as our regular weekly gatherings and each meeting will last about one hour (except for the first session on Sat. that will be two hours). It is strongly recommended that you participate in all of the sessions (or as many as you can) to take full advantage of this opportunity to immerse in the Chrsit Consciousness energies. You can extend each session by remaining in silent meditation for a while after the transmission ends, as this can increase the effect of the transmission. We also recommend that if possible you remain in silence for the entire retreat and limit or avoid spending time on television and the internet. This can also help deepen the effect of the energy of the transmissions. Taking a silent walk outdoors or doing some stretching/yoga before, between or after the sessions is also ideal as we will be sitting a fair amount.

Join Gina Lake for a Special Interview and Q&A Session with Author and ACIM Teacher Jon Mundy

 

From Nirmala's wife, Gina: I’m excited to announce that I’ll be interviewed by Jon Mundy, a prominent ACIM teacher and friend on his Sunday with Mundy Live show on Zoom on October 10th from 9-11 am Pacific time. This happens to be right before our Sunday weekly Christ Consciousness Transmissions Zoom meeting, so if you are able to attend both, that would be wonderful. If you donate and attend Sunday with Mundy Live, you are welcome to join our Christ Consciousness Transmissions meeting from 11-noon Pacific time afterwards for free without any further donation.

 

The first hour of Sunday with Mundy Live will be me chatting with Jon about A Course in Miracles and my teachings, metaphysics, and who knows what else! The second hour will be open to any questions you have for me. Looking forward to seeing you there! The information you need to attend is below.

 

Jon Mundy, Ph.D is the author of twelve books based on A Course in Miracles, including Living A Course in Miracles, A Course in Mysticism and Miracles, and Perfect Happiness. Jon has been a minister for 55 years and had a close relationship with Dr. Helen Schucman, the author of A Course in Miracles.

All Love,

Gina

If you are not familiar with the transmissions, frequently asked questions about the CCTs are here.

 

The gatherings in this intensive of CCTs will follow the same format as our regular weekly gatherings and each meeting will last about one hour (except for the two hour first session on Saturday, which will include a time for a question and answer session with Gina and Nirmala). 

You can extend each session by remaining in silent meditation for a while after the transmission ends, as this can increase the effect of the transmission. We also recommend that if possible you remain in silence for the entire day and limit or avoid spending time on television and the internet. This can also help deepen the effect of the immersion in the energy of the transmissions. Taking a walk outdoors or doing some stretching/yoga between sessions is also ideal as we will be sitting a fair amount.

We hope you can join us for this special event. If you have any questions, use the contact form here to get in touch with us.

Warmly, Gina and Nirmala
