WEBCASTS WITH SRI BHAGAVAN
All webcast links will only be available to Oneness certified trainers. Trainers may choose to send their links to Oneness Blessing Facilitators who are hosting groups if those hosting are carefully trained on the process. These mukthis including sacred space (time spent in darkness and quiet) are intended to be done in community groups.
Any Mutkthi Deeksha process outside of those done with the webcast with Bhagavan or 64 Deeksha Blessing processes must be facilitated by a Oneness Trainer.

Preparation and planning tips: To darken a room, many are using either single or double layers of black trashbags or "black out" fabric (usually white) purchased from a fabric store along with painter's tape or other tape that doesn't remove paint. We've been told in the U.S. to make the room as dark as possible, but even 70% dark will be sufficient. (They have begun introducing the dark room process to the people coming through the trainer's classes now at Oneness University.)
You can use music or not for the 49 minutes of chanting/movement tomorrow. From what we've been instructed, we should as usual be chanting audibly.
A helpful note we've received: "Many are playing more non-vocal (with no words) music so as not to distract from the chanting during the dancing, and it would be natural to perhaps not dance as vigorously. The essential intention is still the same-- to open one's body, one's entire being, to that child-like quality, that quality of rapture-- fully opening to and surrendering to the Divine etc."
Reminder of the new process which began July 11:
1. You will begin with a Chakra Dhyana, 1 or 3 minutes on each chakra.
2. You will repeat the 12 teachings 7X each, and then, while dancing, chant the Mukthi Mantra, "I am Existence, Consciousness, Bliss." *
3. Sri Bhagavan will come on to discuss the process and provide any teachings.
4. You will sit in a sacred space with complete darkness in a pitch-black room, sound-proofed as much as possible, for 14 minutes or more, soaking in the Divine Presence. (Bhagavan was sending his presence on July 11 for a few hours.)
5. You may then take Deeksha from the padukas or other sacred objects.
6. Rest in shavasana.
(You could also take blessings and return to staying in the sacred space for some time.)
1. *Thoughts are not mine.
2. Mind is not mine.
3. This body is not mine.
4. All things are happening automatically.
5. There is thinking but no thinker.
6. There is seeing but no seer.
7. There is listening but no listener.
8. There is doing but no doer.
9. There is no person there at all.
10. I am love.
11. The whole world is family.
12. I am existence, consciousness, bliss. (Continue for 49 minutes with dancing.)
Reminder Note on 64 Blessing inner chant:
When you are doing 64 blessing processes, all participants should pick which ever statement they want to use during the blessings. It should be the same for all participants.

Video Teachings with Sri Bhagavan
Sri Bhagavan Teaching on Self-based Love,
Becoming or Being
Video access:
http://www.worldonenesscommunity.com/video/selfbased-love-becoming-vs The love that you talk about and the love that I talk
about are very different. So when you say, "God is love," that love is
different from when you say, "I love my wife." Very different. So all that the mind is putting forth, they are
subject to some laws. The love that I am talking about is not emanating from
the mind. Therefore it's something very different. The love that you are talking about is "my wife, my
son, my daughter." The self is involved. So this is subject to some laws. What
are these laws? One basic law is you will fall by that very same thing
by which you rose. So this love through which your bond rose, became strong and
grew, has to dissipate, has to disintegrate. It can't escape that law. That very love, that very attraction will cease to be
attractive. That very attachment would become a burden. It has to happen and it
will perish. Like a seed becomes a tree and the tree becomes a
seed, that is, it gives flowers and fruits in a season, then the tree perishes.
All things go in cycles. So if you rise through violence, you will perish
through violence. So all these
things move in cycles. So when you are attracted to a woman, that kind of
attraction which is attachment, possession, making using of people, that's the
love you are talking about. So it goes on and as it flowers, then naturally it
must perish. So it's all perfect. I don't see anything wrong with
it. If you discover that other kind of love we are talking about, that is
everlasting, of course. It is not subject to these cycles because it is not
self-based. This is self-based. Whatever is self-based will move
in cycles. The yin-yang of them would take over. It would go round and round. So that's why when people come and tell me, "We were
once in love, now we are not in love." I just ask them, "How many years?" "Two
years, four years, seven years."
"What can we do for it not to be over?" So it is no surprise. Of course we can do some kind of damage control. But it is
gone. The charm is gone. Unless you are very mature and you can see the other
person differently. Now you must find other reasons to become attached to
the person. You must find some newer things in the person. Then you get a new
lease on life. But the old thing is gone. The old things have got to
go. You know, the mind has got used to it. Once the mind gets used to it, there
is no more interest. It just drops it. It needs continuous becoming, continuous challenges.
Only that way it can survive. That is the nature of the mind and that nature
has not changed for the last two million years. It's exactly the same.
Continuous becoming has to be there. Now we are talking of being, which is very different.
You are caught up in the becoming more, just to continuously become, become,
become. You must verily adapt at changing that. Now you love
your wife because she is young and beautiful. Now you love her because she is
wise. Then you love her because she has got money. Now you love her because she
has served you. So you have to keep changing intelligently, or you
must come to some wise people like our Dasas who are not married but know all
these things and who can do some repair work for sure. That is how you have to
manage the whole situation. Many people actually learn these things. It comes to
them very naturally. If it does not, you need help.
Sri Bhagavan Teaching on Fear
video access: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX9KtSV7pNA
Question: I am bold on the
surface but deep within I have fears that I don't understand. I am even of
afraid of seeking truth. I am afraid to begin anything or to give up anything.
Answer:
The core of your being is fear. What is deep inside
yourself is just fear, fear of losing this, fear of losing that, failing here
or some other worry there.
The object of fear could be changing. Neanderthal man
had own reasons to be frightened of.
The ancient man who was hunting had his own reasons to be afraid of, so
also the medieval man, and modern man has also his fear of a stock market crash
or his wife running away from him.
So you have all kinds of fears, but basically fear has
continued throughout human history, because as long as you exist there would be
fear. Because you are not supposed to exist, you are only an illusion and every
moment there is a struggle to survive.
Unless mental formations are going on all the time,
you would just cease to be there. If the brain stops creating these mental
formations, you would be gone and nature is trying to make that happen. God is
trying to make that happen.
But you are resisting it because you are afraid to be
gone. You are scared, you think it's terrible to be gone. But what you do not
realize is when you are gone, it is the greatest joy you could ever imagine.
Those have left, you could ask them. I have around me
so many people who don't exist, who are gone. They live in joy 24 hours of the day. Nothing ever affects
them. Because as long as you exist you will suffer, because you do not suffer. Youis equal to suffering. If you are
there, there is suffering.
To exist is to suffer, because you have no business to
exist. It's a limitation. It's a narrowing down. It's not the truth. When you
are gone what is there is causeless love.
Simply love for no reason.
The love which you know has a reason. This love has no
reason, it is just there. You see a dog, you love it. You see an ant, you love
it. You see a human being, you love him. It's just there for no reason.
What about this joy? You joys have got limits, this
joy has no limit. All this happens because you are not there. If you are there, the love which you
know has a reason which is not love.
The joy which you know has a limit and the joy which has
limits is no joy at all. You have to jump into it without knowing how to swim.
You have to take a plunge. When you take a plunge, it's all over!

Sri Bhagavan Teaching - Systems and Subsystems
video access: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh2j2JfpbsU
The Universe runs on the principle of interdependence.
Inbuilt into its existence is the system and the subsystem. The system affects
the subsystem and the subsystem in turn affects the system.
You find this principle running through civilizations,
nations, communities, organizations and families.
In the context of education society symbolizes the
system and the school the subsystem. The kind of society you are going to have
depends on the form and structure of education that is imparted in schools.
One hundred bad schools can influence and create chaos
in society. The system being very vast, any attempt to bring about a change,
might prove to be a colossal task. But, we can always work on the subsystem called
schools to make this transfiguration happen in the world.
As educators, every one of you carry the sacred
responsibility of fabricating an effective educational system that not only
equips students to meet societal challenges, but that which molds them into
human beings with a greater sense of value and inner freedom.
Nurture the child with utmost care and concern so that
it becomes natural for the child to reciprocate love.
Help the child to accept its failures that it
naturally gains strength to face life's challenges.
Trust the child so that it also learns to trust.
Embrace the child when it wrongs, so that it learns
the beautiful art of forgiveness.
Above all teach the need to be integral to itself,
that the child learns to confront its emotions, thoughts, inadequacies and
inabilities.
Truth will empower the child with enormous power,
courage and intelligence to handle life.
Naturally, through the course of life you would find
the child flowering into a successful being. Remember, it is not for you just
to advise, but to live what you advise for the child to learn from you.
As teachers, who you are would model their future for
they become what they see.
An appropriate role model would help in generating the
right kind of thoughts in the child and thoughts shape one's action.
Repetitive actions give rise to habits.
Habits shape one's values.
Values shape one's character.
And character molds destiny.
Such being the cause of a great destiny, be what you
preach.

Sri Bhagavan Teaching - Power of the Unconscious
Video access:
http://www.worldonenesscommunity.com/video/power-of-the-unconscious
Question: Why do I face so many
obstacles on the path to my success?
Answer: You are constantly
creating the external world. You think the external world is independent of the
internal world.
Let us say your unconscious has programmed you for
failure. It thinks you can never
succeed. You should not succeed.
Then what happens is let's say you go for an interview
for a job. Your unconscious gets in touch with the unconscious of the other
person. They have some kind of
"internet" link and the other person who is interviewing you would decide to
not give you a job for no reason at all.
That is how what's going on inside actually creates
the external world. It is very, very powerful. That's why you get what you fear
and what you hate. You also get what you love. That also happens.
That's why you must see what's going on. If you cannot
do, then you must take the help of someone who can show it to you. That's what
the samskara shuddi* and other things
are all about and it should be set right.
Once it is set right you would see that things are
dramatically changing for you in the external world, in case you have seen what
is really going on.
*Samskara
shuddi is an ancient process offered in Oneness courses that deepens your
experience of Divine Grace by releasing deep-seated emotional charges.
