Question from a Reader:

Hello Folks,

And hello Shafin! My question and response is some what short and straight to the point. It’s basically this: Once a person has gained a very high level of enlightenment about many of the important things in life. Where does that place such a person in regards to everyday life?

He or she still has to work a job, they still have to eat food, maybe have a release for sexual, mental… or enhancement. So while still living in this meat suite, where do the enlightened go from here, and how does this enlightened individual make life count productively while still be subject to the wheel of Samsara, birth and re-birth (life and death)?

That answer could be the real “secret” of the ages.

Theo

My Reply:

Hi Theo,

Strictly speaking, there is no enlightened person, only enlightened activities people do. Some do it more than the others. But no one becomes “permanently enlightened” simply by figuring out some cosmic secret. It’s not a degree you earn; it’s a state of being you need to work pretty hard to maintain.

Nowadays enlightenment is popularly portrayed as some sudden state of rapture usually accompanied by luminous shapes and a profound unity consciousness. True, this is enlightenment; but just like all candles (or for that matter stars) require energy to keep shining light into darkness, that state of unity consciousness also requires energy to stay that way. And that energy comes from constant spiritual discipline and focus.

Now here’s the biggie: it’s actually EASIER (in a very ascetic way) to maintain this so called state of enlightenment in a monastery or up in the mountains far removed from the challenges of modern life! It’s tremendously harder to serve the world in an enlightened way when you have to live in everyday world of mortgage and credit cards, school homework and divorce lawyers. But it is here that we learn the hardest of the lessons. It is here in the every day life amidst people we grow the fastest. Why?

Because it’s ALL God. God is not only found somewhere in Himalayas hiding in a temple, nor in a thousand year old church somewhere in Ireland. God is everywhere and interacting with us through everyone. God is here and now. God wears 10,000 masks. And some of those masks include your mother-in-law, ex-husband, tax officer, boss, brother, sister, lover…

It’s so much easier to stay enlightened when you don’t have to fall in love so madly that you could die for the other, only to be scarred so badly that it hurts to even breathe. Its so much easier to be enlightened when all you have to worry about is your own robe and a rice bowl – yes its simple and its difficult to attain this level of simplicity, but its easier too – its so much harder to act with perfect enlightened attitude when you have to deal with traffic jams and politicians, have a family to feed, children to send to school, and want to take them on a little vacation once in a while so they may smile and grow. Its so much harder because there are so many challenges that come on the way.

Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with the monastic life or people who dedicate themselves to a life of simplicity and strict spiritual pursuits in seclusion. Those choices can be compared with going to school or university. Sometimes we need to study for many years in seclusion or in an institution before we are able serve the world in a bigger and better way. Depending on how much you want to study you may take 5 years or 30 years. But it’s important to realize that it’s not significantly better or worse to be a monk or a stock broker.

You can be a monk or a yogi for all the wrong reasons (fear of dealing with the challenges of the world) and obviously you can be a police man or stock broker for all the wrong reasons too (being driven by never ending hunger for money and power). Both are valid in their own way. But when you live a life of seclusion, it’s definitely easier to maintain a state of rapturous unity consciousness of perfect love and compassion.

I remember hearing a story in a monastery in Nepal (where I lived for a month last year): the story is about this great yogi who lived in a remote cave all alone for 27 years. Finally he was discovered by the village people nearby and they started to offer him food once in a while and he’d give them teachings sometimes. Soon his name became famous and many people began to visit him regularly from villages all around the place. Everything was fine until one day someone invited the guru to come down in the village carnival in the valley below to impart his wisdom. Nobody really expected him to accept the invitation but the great guru said yes.

So it is after 28 years of seclusion, meditation, discipline and devotion, the great guru came down to the village carnival… and then something happened!

Because many people came to the carnival and some of them did not have any idea who the great guru was, there was commotion all around him and mistakenly someone bumped into him and he fell to the ground. Angry, the guru got up and yelled “Do you not know who I am?” And the moment the words came out the great yogi realized his mistake. He asked forgiveness and moved along.

He taught many people in the carnival and when it was time for him to leave, a disciple asked him where he would go now, back to his cave? Could he not stay just for the night in the village?

To this the guru answered, “The days of being in the cave is now over. I realize that my true learning will happen here among the people. It is here that I shall learn what I truly need to learn.”

And so the guru began to live within the people, learning to adjust to the struggles of everyday life, discovering all the hidden aspects of his self that he could not see all this years in the seclusion of his cave.

This story reminds me of a simple truth: God is not just the light, but also the darkness; not just the pleasure, but also pain; not just success but also the failures; not just life but also death. There is nothing that God is not. And I feel that living within people is one of the most effective ways to practice the discipline of remembering that simple truth.

Here’s a quote I read a while ago: “God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly, not one.” Opposites are part of this physical reality; you can’t have light without dark…

Remember: it is the people that cause the greatest “dis-harmony” are the ones that teach the most profound lessons as well. Something I think is valuable to remember on our ever increasing quest to ONLY attract the “positive”. Remember, on a magnet, you can’t have the positive without the negative. No matter how many times you try to chop the negative off.

So coming back to your question “where do the enlightened go from here?”, the enlightened goes no where really but simply realizes that after all has been said and done, its all God, all perfect, all One, despite the seeming two-ness and apparent broken-ness. So where do you go when you are already there? You don’t.

You simply do what you do but never put anyone out of your heart. You play your role in this drama with all enthusiasm and seriousness but you NEVER forget the truth. It’s all One. It’s ALL God. We are ALL in this great journey together. The bad guys are serving the perfect role and so are the good guys. All the obstacles and disappointments in life are nothing but guidance for us to fulfil our chosen destiny, to learn all the lessons we are here to learn in this life time, to be all that we are destined to be.

All the wars and the cruelty, all the disease and the poverty, are simply calls for the heroes to rise, for the warriors of light to awaken and unleash their magical powers, for the timid princes to slay the dragon only to fulfil his destiny to serve as the great ruler…

But here’s a question that the enlightened never forget to ask: “How would the heroes realize they are heroes if the villains never challenged them to arise?” Who then, are truly the heroes? The ones who get all the kudos for slaying the dragon? Or is it the dragon who served the role of the bad guy so the hero could become the hero?

The enlightened do not go anywhere or do anything special. They neither fervently seek the light nor do they remain inactive in the darkness. They simply do what they do – in their monasteries or stock markets, marriages or nightclubs, serving the roles of patriots or dictators, saving lives or killing many – but they never put anyone out of their hearts. They see the unity beyond the illusion of material separation but they act with perfect compassion and empathy. They serve the world but not with the illusion that right now is anything but perfect. They do what they do, wherever they are – prisons, hospitals, carnivals or battlefields – but they never put anyone out of their hearts.

They remember this simple truth – Love is the recognition of God in the other.

And in the end… it’s all Love.

But I am today, and I hope you will find as much joy and value listening to it as I have serving as the messenger.

LIVE PERSONAL SESSION RECORDING (Right Click And Save Target As / Save Link As)

As you will see, its a live recording from a personal session I was conducting with one of my students from the UK. What transpired this day was something I didn’t plan, neither did I realize the value of, until it came through. As you will notice from the recording, both myself and Archie (the student in the recording) were profoundly moved. And with his kind permission I am now offering you this little gift we co-created.

QUESTION FROM A READER:

Hi Shafin

For over 15 years I have been studied metaphysics, Met someone who is one of the speakers on the video the Secret and spoken to him. Leaned self hypnotherapy and also listened to Steve G. Jones on attracting wealth ,great relationships etc. Down loaded countless products on the law of attraction subliminal suggestion and read ninety percent of the books that are in the free download once Ive purchased your book. None has made any difference infact im in a worse position in every area of my life these days than i was thirty years ago.

What i would like to ask what in your book would be any different from all the other metaphysicians claiming to turn peoples lives around if none of this stuff has bought into fruition the things i have being trying to manifest. For ten years I have tried everything to bring in a mutually loving and supportive relationship only to attract crazy makers, commitment phobics and con men.

I havnt been asking for this. I have had vision boards,imaginging as if i already have a great relationship ,hypnosis etc etc Have no problem attracting men in the first place. Should it be this difficult after working with all these techniques from the law of attraction. I have constantly asked for a healthy relationship and abundance. Have taken action and being very focused and possitive only to start at the bottom again. Im nearly fifty years Idont feel old but find it very difficult to remotivate my self and continually come up with the same result. I I would be happy to purchase your book but well how is it any different.Could you offer me an answer.

Thanks G***

My Answer:

Hi G***

I’m not going to answer the parts about “why you should buy my book” but address some far more important questions that you have asked without really putting it in words.

The first thing you need to realize is that the problems you mention are not very unique. In fact it’s quite common. Many people experience such blockages and find, while highly re-assuring and most times very entertaining, all these wonderful ideas of law of attraction, vision boards and so on somehow just don’t work for them (or works sometimes but not other times). You are nothing special in this department.

Now I want you to read the above lines a few more times before you read anything further. Do not read further until you have read it at least 3 times.

I want you to become aware of how you felt when you read my words above. What was your mental talk to yourself? If you felt even a slight twinge of irritation or anger at my words, it could be because “that it doesn’t work for you” actually is your way of feeling special. Something to take note of and think about. Again, interestingly there is nothing to unique in that department either. Many of us do it simply because our ego mind has many convoluted ways of making us feel special. It’s workable, and very much solvable a problem. If you actually did welcome my words, then read on.

We go about trying to attract our reality using our mind power and intention without asking one vital yet tremendously uncomfortable question: who thinks our thoughts? We want this and we want that, we try to manifest relationships, dollars, cars and circumstances. But we rarely stop to wonder, where is it that we get these desires from?

The usual answer to this question is “well I do, I think my own thoughts”. But do you really? The uncomfortable truth is that less than 10% of our life is directed by our thinking, logical, rational, “conscious”, ego mind. The rest 90% or more of our decisions and desires in life come from our subconscious mind which is the mega store house of beliefs, emotions, habits, and permanent memory of our life experiences. And where does our beliefs come from? How are our habits formed? What memories of childhood do you have stored in the dark corners of your mind? What are your emotions trying to tell you? What is the purpose of your emotions that hold so much power over your life?

The answers to those above questions, unfortunately, require an exploration of the human mind that I cannot give you in this little email but let me briefly give you an idea about where I am going with all of this:

See our conscious thoughts are entirely shaped by life experiences. Life experiences create the framework of our belief system (our functional paradigm of the world). Our beliefs then serve as background pattern, default choice, subconscious decision making blueprint, as we go about making thousands of choices every day. Every moment, we are making choices and decisions: what to wear, what to eat, which shampoo to buy, how to answer a question, which credit card to get, which stranger to talk to, which beggar to give alms to, which TV channel to watch, which partner to date, who we should trust, who we should avoid, what job to take, which dreams to follow, which books to read, what to write on vision boards… endless series of decisions and judgments, most of which we THINK we are making, but really it maybe being shaped by forces and factors we have no clue about!

Don’t believe me? Well, here is a little news for you: human mind is far easier to influence that we are willing to accept! Here is an example (Derren Brown is a famous British Mentalist and Simon Pegg is the star of many movies including Shaun Of The Dead, Run Fat Boy Run and my recent favorite… How To Lose Friends and Alienate People):

Okay maybe what you just saw is an extreme, maybe it required many props and careful manipulation of environment to pull off the trick, but just like the video, we too are being influenced by big marketing companies ALL THE TIME. Trust me when I tell you this: they know MIND CONTROL.

And what about all the random, yet highly powerful messages that we are exposed to everyday by the newspapers, radio, television news, movies, documentaries, advertisements etc? These shows and messages are created by some of the most brilliant and creative marketing minds of the world. These messages are powerful, engaging, entertaining and they have ONE common purpose: sell advertisement space! If no one bought advertisement space on CNN, it wouldn’t be able to run, if no one bought advertisements on Google, even they won’t be able to run. In turn, the advertisements have ONE purpose: to make YOU buy what they are selling. And in order to do that, sometimes they have to ALTER your perception of reality before you are in the right mind frame to buy (a BMX instead of a leather jacket).

Now what has all of this got to do with metaphysics and apparent lack of success with all the new age ideas? Everything! While the concept of being able to attract everything you want into your life is wonderfully empowering, it’s simply an intermediate step on the way to enlightenment. It’s a great concept for all those stuck in a life where they think “life is something that happens to them” but not so great for people who have progressed somewhat and are ready to understand some deeper aspects of reality.

Here is the problem with the great “law of attraction”: if you can’t see the future, don’t know what your personal destiny is, are incapable of predicting what will make you happy (as it is apparent by our decisions which only lead us to a future we are usually not happy with at all) and are completely biased by continuous marketing messages that bombard us every waking hour… how can we take responsibility for altering circumstances and events that are inextricably entangled with everyone and everything in the universe? How can we choose when we don’t even know what is favorable and what is not? How can we change our future, when we don’t even know what will make us happy?

Everything is interconnected. And we cannot change one grain of sand without changing the entire universe. But that is NOT to say that we cannot attract our dreams and desires into manifestation. We very well can, at least in the beginning, as many will religiously vouch to you that law of attraction works. And it does… but not for long. Why not? Because the design is such that it only works until you have successfully escaped the prison of “life is a struggle and you have to work hard” mentality. Once you have escaped, are reasonably certain that there is a deeper reality with very different laws that govern it, that your mind is very much capable of altering the course of events, the whole thing either stops working or becomes harder and harder to manifest.

Law Of Attraction works generally, not specifically. It works in the level of thoughts. Thoughts become things (generally). Thoughts about poverty, struggle and fight, brings more poverty, struggle and fight. Thoughts of peace, love and prosperity brings more peace, love and prosperity… generally. The specifics are in the domain of the Universe, in the hands of God.

The problem begins when we try to write our own specific future and materialize specific circumstances. Since our thoughts and  desires are often not our own, and rarely in sync with the “big plan” (which is interconnected with all things and all people), they rarely materialize. When they don’t materialize, we become frustrated and go back to our old ways or distract ourselves with some form of external stimuli (food, drugs, movies, news, relationships, charity, and even helping others). But the frustration remains, the cognitive dissonance (conflict between beliefs and results) remains.

Unfortunately, since we have no better model and since all these new age products keep telling us that its “supposed to work” this way and gather many testimonials and what not to “prove” to you that its working for everyone else…  and since it still doesn’t work for you, you get even more frustrated.

Actually its worse than that because if it didn’t work at all, that would be fine (although disappointing) and you could move on. But it works for you too, only sometimes, and not the other times. Somehow the “small things” that you dont care much about works better than the bigger things you “really want”. And since that makes you confused, angry and frustrated, it becomes harder to be truly grateful and joyous. And now the law of attraction works against you, rather than for you, and you keep wondering “where is it that it all went wrong???”

There is a better, more mature way of doing things. And that way is opening yourself up to miracles, instead of magic (or make things happen consciously by mind power).

How do you open up to miracles? Now this a topic like learning to swim, I can write many pages but you might learn nothing if you never  tried to swim before. To really learn to swim, you need an instructor, you need to be in water, you need to practice and after all of that you will still look like a drowning monkey in the beginning. To be a little more direct, LIVING this way (as opposed to just intellectually understanding) requires you to radically transform your mind and completely change the way you live. You need a good teacher and you need some patience before you begin to de-program some of that negative programming. There is no quick fix or magic formula for this. If you wish to work with me, you are welcome to do so. Click here to make a choice.

Now let me give you some steps to live a life of miracles and magic:

First realize that YOU are NOT your thinking ego mind. You are much bigger than that. Your ego (that thinks and has a name and wants lots of material things) is a part of you, a tiny part at that, but it is not YOU. It’s only a part of you.

Second, meditate. Meditation is the royal road to enlightenment and miracles. It is the automatic process of healing yourself and opening yourself to direct communication with the Source or God.

Third, be open to ALL possibilities, every moment of every day. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. It’s a great intellectual concept but tremendously hard to pull off when life gives you one of her many challenges. The only way to truly be open is by meditating, which will automatically help you dis-identify yourself from your ego mind, which will allow you to perceive the Unity of all things and co relationship between everything in the universe, which will allow you to understand the signs which are all around us, which will allow you to be open because now you realize that you are being guided, you are being taken care of, you are loved beyond comprehension.

When you are open, you no longer struggle and fight, but simply say “Thy Will Be Done”.

So meditation is the key. Meditation will automatically heal your mind and illuminate all the dark areas where those limiting patterns and behaviors reside. It will alter time, space and redefine your reality… automatically. You will no longer need to struggle or fight, or take the enormous responsibility of designing your destiny. You are far greater than your ego mind wants you to realize. Far too great is your destiny for your ego mind to design.

Pure meditation is pure void – pure silence, remember that, everything else is a technique that leads us to that place. In fact, pure meditation is Unity, or Love, which is too deep a concept to put in words so I will stop here.

I know I didn’t answer even one question you directly asked. But I do hope my words have overlapped your consciousness and touched your soul, and you are able to get a glimpse of that which cannot be taught with words.

With lots of love,

Shafin

Miracles and Patience In A Spiritual Life

How To Pray

Today’s lesson is Q&A style. Its also going to be a bit lengthy and probably the most important lesson so far, so you may want to take a printout for reading it more than once and for future reference.

Question From A Reader:

Hello Dear Friend,

How is it going? This is the last day of your 7 Day E-Course. Have you enjoyed what you have learnt? Have you done the exercises regularly? If you have skipped any of the exercises given to you in the last 7 days, please go back and take note. Carl Jung once said – your shadow is where your personal gold is. Resistance to do something means your subconscious doesn’t like what was told – its valuable information for you. Take note of what you “don’t feel like” doing, that is exactly what you need to work on.

Today is also the day I will reveal to you the “opportunity” that I promised you a couple of times earlier. The chance for you to get on one of the biggest adventures of your life. The chance for you to make a quantum leap into not just personal success but to get ready to give back to the world the true gift you are here to give… Excited? Well, read slowly and carefully, it will be revealed soon…

But first, let us do some review of what you have learnt so far (links to the previous lessons are included):

On day one you learnt that in the next 10 years there will be 10 million new millionaires! I asked you if you wanted to be one of them? What was your answer? You also learnt, albeit very briefly, the basics of Quantum Physics and the 3 levels of reality. You learnt that reality can be redefined and all that you see around you has been created by you! I gave you a little breathing exercise and asked you to watch the movie Matrix.

On day two, I covered aspects of how your personality is formed and you also read about the story of the little girl who was terrified to go to school. You learnt about the “unknown triggers” and “out of control moments” and what causes them. You learnt about why you have such powerful things called feelings and emotions and what their purpose is. On this day you were also given your first mission statement / auto suggestion.

On day three, I explained how looks or money has little or nothing to do with creating attraction; they are just tools which you can use to create or destroy, depending on how you use it. You also learnt that you cannot fall in love with someone out of obligation. Attraction is either created spontaneously or not at all. On this day you were given the task of watching the movie Match Point and take notes of what created and destroyed attraction in different parts of the movie.

On day four, you learnt about the power of belief. You learnt that who you are right now has nothing to do with who you were born as, and everything to do with what you believe you are capable of. You also learnt the very important lesson: “to believe is to not know”. You got your second autosuggestion this day.

Day five covered the first part of Deadly Mistakes We Make. Here you heard the popular story of Paul and Suzan. You learnt that buying things and doing favors are totally counter productive in trying to create attraction if it is not already there. You learnt that when the woman is not attracted to you sexually, trying to “logically convince” her would ensure that she would actually get repulsed by you. You were told that the ideal way is to do things that create attraction from the beginning.

And day six was the second part of “Deadly Mistakes We Make” and you read the other side of the story: how women lose their men. Here you read the second part of Paul’s story and found out what goes on in a married man’s head. You read how a weak man can be a dangerous man to keep. You also learnt a little about the nature of masculine energy and what creates a real man. Finally, you were given the task to observe the couples around you and notice the dynamics that keep to together or push them away.

And now we are on our last day of our E-Course where you are going to learn how to design a meaningful life and the next steps to take towards redefining reality…

So my friend, what is a meaningful life after all? Is it earning millions of dollars? Is it having three super model girl friends? Is it getting married to someone everyone else wanted? Or is it sacrificing your life for a noble cause? What is it after all? Well, I cannot tell you what will bring meaning to you because I don’t know you personally yet, but I can tell you what is meaningful to me.

A meaningful life to me is being able to do whatever I want, when I want, and how I want. It is coming back home at the end of the day and having the feeling that I have gotten one step closer to my ultimate destination. It is knowing that even one person has breathed just a little easier because I have lived. It is earning as much money as I need, doing what I truly love to do. It is making each person’s lives a little better when they come to know me. It is being able to truly feel happy knowing that YOU have been successful. It is leaving the world even just a little better than when I came here. It is knowing that I have done everything in my capacity to help my fellow mates live a little better lives. And finally in the process of all of this, it is enjoying every moment of the day with as much love, passion and happiness as I can manage. To me that is living a meaningful life. And when I finally pass over, I would like to smile and say: This I have done.

So what is a meaningful life to you? What would you say when it is time to move on to another beginning? Would you look at it and wonder “what have I done with my life, where have all the years gone? Did I just spend a life time working in a job that I didn’t like, giving away the most valuable thing: time? Did I just spend a life time in a relationship with someone that I did not love? Did I sacrifice daily happiness for the promise of a great future that never arrived? It makes no sense!” or will you say “I have lived a life with love, appreciation, freedom and complete joy! I have followed my dreams and I have offered my gift. I have earned as much as I could and given as much as I could and I am still left with some more! I have taken risks, lived passionately, loved achingly, sometimes won and sometimes lost. And today its all so worth it!” What will you say my friend when its time to return to God?

Remember your life is a gift from the Source, the Great Spirit, from God, to all of us. God doesn’t want to know if you have visited a special building once every week, God wants to know if you are ready to give the gift that you were sent to give! God wants to know if you will follow the truth in your heart or are you going to follow the crowd? Are you going to go where everyone else is going or are you going to dare?

If you dare, then we will all go one step closer to our common destination: to become one with the Source. If you don’t, then we will go one step back.

As you read this today, we are experiencing a world wide increase of people who are willing to commit themselves to what is the truth, whatever it maybe. And as more and more people commit to the truth, we are moving faster towards enlightenment, towards understanding our common purpose, towards true freedom, towards love.

And if you would like to become one those people, I suggest you start fast. Time is of essence my friend. In a world where millions are killed for oil, countries are crippled for gas, and planes crash into buildings, our planet needs more people like you who are willing to see beyond this material insanity. You, as a being of light, are not here to spend your life in the little maze running like rats. You are much more than that…

You are here to teach. You are here to help others realize what they are capable of. You are here to love. You are here to manifest miracles. You are here to create. You have a purpose. And that purpose is calling you from deep within. That’s what makes you restless. Makes you uncomfortable. Makes you ask for more. Dream of the impossible. Want to reach for the stars. Change the world!

Are you going to listen to that call? Are you going to dare? Are you going to open your eyes and see? Are you going to remember… who you are truly are?

You have a responsibility, dear child of God, you have a mission, you are powerful beyond measure, your mediocre living benefits nobody. It is time to wake up now. Will you listen…?

Unfortunately, I realize all that I am saying may not make a lot of sense right now. As I said in the beginning of this E-Course, we rarely realize what an infinitely magical universe we are living in. The truth is not only stranger than you think, it is stranger than you CAN think!

Anyway, as the ancient Chinese saying goes “the journey of a thousand miles begin with the first few steps.” Let’s take the first steps first. I had begun one day a few years back and I didn’t know where to go. I went from teacher to teacher, spent the last few thousand of dollars that I had, crashed and burnt, made mistakes, made it big, lost it all, broke my heart, got featured on newspapers and television, almost got killed and in the end learnt what I needed to learn. I learnt what the true purpose of my life is and why I am here. And I learnt that just like the Wizard of Oz didn’t give anything to the Tin Man that he already didn’t have, all that I was looking for outside was always right here in me. I just needed to learn how to look…

So before we finish this last day of the E-Course, as I promised you in the beginning, here is a way you can take your journey to the next level and get on a brand new adventure…

The nature of this journey is such that the more important lessons can never be taught but you will have to experience and become. Read the last sentence one more time to understand what it means. The deeper secrets of the universe are not something that you can read in a book or even learn from a teacher but experience as a personal transformation. But then teachers are important – because they help you in removing the obstacles that lead towards the experience that teaches you the deeper secrets. These are things that cannot be communicated over this 2 dimensional media like a webpage but has to be given directly from the teacher to the student. There is no one size fit all solution – this is the true journey within.

Private Coaching Session

Dear Friend,

I am going to start your E-Course with a little difficult concept to grasp. I know I could have started it with something lighter and more interesting such as how to create INSTANT attraction, or how you can quickly and easily find your true purpose in life. I know that would have made my life easier and you more “comfortable”. But the problem is, unless you get this first concept, all the others will be somewhat of a bordering impossibility. So please be a little patient, take the time and try to go through the whole thing slowly…

(This is going to be a long letter, so you may want to print it out for an easier reading.)

The world I am going to show you is the world of the unseen. Rules of the physical reality that you knew so far, means nothing here. This is the world where anything and everything is possible and happening! This may sound a little far out to you right now but believe me when I say this: this is as true as the sun rising in the east.

What you “see” is simply not what is “real”. What is “real” has so many level of existence that its mind boggling! Now don’t freak out on me okay? I know this sounds a little complicated already but I am trying my best to keep it simple. And don’t worry, the fun stuff is also coming your way on the next few lessons, but today just bear with me please.

So let me start with the very basic first:

The first thing I need you to totally accept and realize is the fact that reality can be redefined. Any and ALL of it. I know this can be one of the hardest concepts to accept right now. After all, this is the world that has your difficult boss who never changes, requires you working like a dog and getting a measly pay, where half the world is struggling not for a better car but just enough food and drinking water… These can never change right? So you may be thinking that I’m talking to you about some pie in the sky theory about visualization and mind power, right? WRONG.

Neither am I talking to you about some new age hocus-pocus nor can all those things can not be changed. Everything, I repeat, EVERYTHING can be redefined. And I am one of the living proofs of that. Now before you dismiss yourself by saying that “yeah maybe he’s just some kinda genius / maybe he got lucky”, I’d like to remind you that I was born in a third world country, in a poor family and the first 23 years of my life was pretty much spent trying to make ends meet and struggling.

If you read my personal story you’ll find that I am not a big genius and I certainly did not get lucky, well… not in the traditional sense that is. I was extremely lucky however to have met some teachers who brought me out of my little eggshell and taught me how to fly. Undoubtedly, without my teachers, I would never be able to bring this to you today.

So the first thing you need to get inside your head is reality can be redefined. It can be redefined through a series of easy to use tools, none of which require you to lie down on the ground and count the stars. What it does require, however, is that you to accept and open your mind to the possibility that what you are learning might be possible.

Now there is a reason why reality can be redefined. Do you want to know why? As I said in the beginning, this was not going to be an easy thing to digest. But here goes… Reality can be redefined because… everything that you see around you has been created by YOU. Everything!

This may be an entirely alien concept to you or you may have heard of this before, but I can assure you (even if you think this is the most wacky theory you ever heard) that this is not some wishful thought or everyday self help advice. What I am about to tell you is NOT some un-scientific, cannot be proven or measured, realized in a dream idea. This concept is very much part of deep Quantum Physics and have been proven beyond a shadow of doubt through countless scientific experiments and research that it is the “human consciousness” that creates material reality.

The ancients knew this… it is written quite clearly (in the language and examples of the ancients) in “The Zohar” which is the foundation for mystical Judaism (from which comes the cosmology and theology of Christianity and Islam); in the ancient texts of Hinduism (Vedas and Upanishads) which strongly influenced the birth of Buddhism; and not to mention the secret doctrines of Alchemy, Hermeticism, Freemasonry etc. This knowledge has been around for thousands of years and now we are re-discovering it through cutting-edge scientific disciplines like sub-atomic physics.

Here is the key idea:

Without YOU there literally is NOTHING out there. Well, at least nothing “material” that is. The Universe is a soup of information and energy suspended in a state of infinite possibility that is converted into material reality by your consciousness that gives birth to the physical reality you call “real”.

“Hold on Shafin! How is that possible??? Does this mean that I have created the broken leg (or marriage)? Does this mean I chose to attract failure, poverty, struggle? (or winning the lottery, having a great life, making a lot of money?) Does that mean that I am responsible for everything that happens to me?”

Well… I wish I could give you an easy answer but this answer has many levels to it. In short the answer is: Yes! It is you who is creating your reality, all of it. It is you who is choosing between the possibilities. It is you who is bringing “things” into being. Without “you”, literally nothing exists “as it is”. (Bear in mind this is an oversimplified answer. Truth is far stranger than “you create your own reality”.)

Here is what we now know from science:

The world that we see all around us has many levels of existence. The very first is the one that you see, hear, touch and smell. This is the material reality. In the material reality we are all separate beings and objects and genders and personalities etc. In this level everything is governed by traditional laws of physics, Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion which basically says: things are separate and don’t move or change by themselves unless (with some external force) you heat it, burn it, push it, pull it, or give it a nice strong kick. If you are only concerned with this level of reality, then you understand that everything has a physical cause and effect, everything is separate individual objects, and if you want to make anything happen, you basically got to do it through some form of physical labor (or exchange of energy).

The material reality is the one that has the atoms and molecules and as you may have read or seen in the high school science book, it looks like a tiny solar system with electrons circling all around and a tiny nucleus at the justify. Looks like everything is in order and it makes sense too.

However, this is not the only level of reality. As you look deeper into the atoms and molecules that make you, your dog, your BMW Z4, the mountains and the stars, you see that the model that you were taught in high school is not at all correct. There are no little balls of electrons circling the nucleus at all! Then what is there? What is there is nothing but a hazy cloud of electrical charge. Oh okay, you say, big deal! So there is a cloud instead of little electrons. So what? Well, the thing is, the cloud is not really like a cloud that we see in the sky, but rather a cloud of POSSIBILITIES!

Okay, I hope I didn’t get you stumped there because it gets more interesting. What the cloud of possibilities mean is that not only there are no electrons in any particular place, it’s not anywhere and (buckle your seatbelt) its EVERYWHERE. It’s a cloud of possibilities that can be anywhere and everywhere. And with this we have now entered the realm of Quantum Physics…

So you get this so far right? And you are probably saying “okay so if the electrons are in a cloud of probability, I guess for my car to be a solid object, it’s the nucleus in the middle that’s the solid thing right?” Well not really. First off, the nucleus in the middle is so small you can imagine a baseball in the middle of a huge empty stadium, the baseball is the nucleus and the empty stadium is the space that surrounds it.

And what is the nucleus made of? Well traditionally we are taught that the nucleus is made of neutron and proton and that’s all there is to it. But as you look deeper within you see that even the nucleus is made of these sub-atomic particles like bosons, leptons, quarks, etc. However, at the most basic level, they are made up of pure energy… Traveling at the speed of of light (186,000 miles per second) AND flickering “in and out of existence”.

In and out of existence going where? Now that’s a million dollar question which upon asking you have to leave our known domain of verified science into the dark waters of mysticism. Not all questions at this level can be answered by remaining strictly within the confines of laboratory science so let us now venture a little further.

See the Quantum level of reality follows almost none of the laws of traditional physics. In this level, EVERYTHING exists in a state of pure potential, in a state of infinite possibilities. What becomes real is dependent on “the observer”… “the consciousness”… “you”!

Who is this consciousness then? And where does it exist? If everything is in a state of pure potential, who is the one “collapsing” this potential into reality? Now that brings us to the 3rd level of reality: the spiritual reality. And the spiritual reality is the zone of the universal ONE consciousness that surrounds, holds, creates, engulfs… and IS everything.

It is the one consciousness that is beyond time and space, “non-local” and “a-causal”, without beginning or end, universal and the “source” of all reality (don’t be concerned if some of the terms are a little confusing at this point). Now when I say universal, it means something very specific. It means that this Source is part of everything. That means there is nothing it is not a part of. That means YOU are also a part of it.

If you think this is way too far out, consider the following quotes:

“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force … We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.” Max Planck, Father of Quantum Physics, at speech at Florence, Italy, 1944

“The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment.” ~Bernard d’Espagnat, theoretical physicist.

“As observers and creators, we are constantly remaking our world at every instant. Every thought we have, every judgement we hold, however unconscious, is having an effect. With every moment that it notices, the conscious mind is sending an intention.” ~Lynne McTaggart, award winning journalist and author.

Now how does all that help in your personal life? These are all interesting concepts but how do you start seeing some results? How do you change your life for the better? Well I got good news and bad news for you. And as it is my promise to you, I will always tell you what is the truth, even if it makes you not so happy at first. So here is the good news:

The good news is, redefining your reality is really one of the easiest things you can learn. It is easy because it is in your true nature. It’s something you are already designed to do. Your heart knows this already. It’s not an alien concept that you have to struggle to learn. And if you are willing you can learn it anytime you want. But…

…the bad news is, due to the massive human programming you have been exposed to, due to misconceptions and deeply ingrained beliefs and sub-conscious patterns of behavior – it will probably take a while before you are able to start using this amazing power that is within you all the time. It requires training and it requires pretty substantial amount of personal effort and commitment to finally “wake up”.

So what is the solution? The solution is already at place. You have already started moving forward just by reading this letter and becoming aware of the possibilities that you can even have this level of power (even if you don’t believe it yet). Every book you read concerning this subject moves you forward, every day you wonder a little more how to achieve this level of mastery moves you forward and certainly this entire course is designed to systematically and rapidly move you forward.

I know you are going to want to kill me but that is all I can tell you at this point. I wish I could tell you more and make it a little easier to understand but this is as far as I can cover on this little letter (which has already become not so little anymore). Any further, I’d have to open some topics that would take hours of explanation or many pages of a book to really make it understandable.

If you have found this interesting, you will love the entire first part of my book “Redefine Your Reality” and specifically chapters 3-7 which goes much deeper into the topics like the strange nature of our physical reality, the mind boggling implications of the relativity of space-time continuum, fantastic discoveries of quantum physics (in easy to understand language) and even the history of how this precious knowledge became such a closely guarded “secret” in the last two and half thousand years. Later in the book, you will learn how to go far beyond known science into the mystical world of manifestation magic, and at the end finally graduate from that level as well and enter the world of effortless miracles!

Now here is something comforting to know… You are not alone in this journey.

As we go into the information age, more and more people are being liberated everyday all over the world as more teachers are available to teach what is the truth. And as more and more individuals are willing to commit themselves to what is the truth, we are all growing, individually and collectively. And as we are growing, more and more people are bending what we knew as “physical reality”.

No wonder according to the New York Times bestselling author Professor Paul Zane Pilzer, we are going to have 10 million more millionaires in the world in the next 10 years. And many of them are going to be teenagers and young people under 30. This is not the dot com boom or some other new technology we are talking about. It’s the people around the world who have learnt to see what lies beyond. Who understand the great power that lies within them. Who understand that what you can do or be, is only a matter of what you can conceive in your mind. And the greatest pleasure I get from writing this is from the knowing that many of those 10 million millionaires will begin by reading this simple letter…

Will you be one of them?

Day One: Exercise 1: Take about 20 minutes (even if it makes you want to run away) today at the privacy of your mind, sit down and just breathe. Breathe slowly through your nose at 2 counts, hold it for 4 counts and exhale at 2 counts. Just breathe. And concentrate on the gist of the following:

“The world that I know of is only real in my own mind. And what is real in my mind is what I have been conditioned to see. I now understand (even if I don’t realize yet) that our physical universe is made up of pure possibilities. In itself, it’s full of infinite potentials. I am the one who brings it into a specific form or create a specific event. It is my mind that is responsible for creating all that I see all around me. I can change it, redefine it and reorganize it whenever I want. I just need to learn how.”

And here is a helpful video that can serve as a daily motivation:

(On day 7 of this eCourse, you will get the chance to receive our famous 1 hour guided meditation as a thank you gift. But for that, your concentration and participation is necessary because you will be asked to share your comments. Something to look forward to.)

Day One: Exercise 2: Have you watched the movie Matrix? Even if you have, watch it again. What you are about to learn is NOT what they show in the movie. But its good entertainment and it will open your mind.

Tomorrow we will talk more about a very interesting person… YOU!

Now make the world a little better today.
