Sat Yoga Seminar One: The Red Pill

Painting by Alex Grey
This paradigm-shifting seminar will introduce you to all the fundamental concepts employed in Sat Yoga classes. It will enable you to participate fully in discussions and to think in new ways about your life and reality in general. The insights you will gain from this weekend workshop will enrich your life immeasurably. Knowledge is power. This information will give you the ability to transform your sense of who you are and of how you live. But be prepared to be stunned, if you have not encountered this information before. The truth has the effect of shock and awe. It will shake you out of your comfortable (and/or miserable) egoic certainties and offer a new horizon of possibilities to attain. If you seek something more from life than you had been told was available, if you have been plagued by "a splinter in your mind," then you will find relief in the wisdom that you will receive in this extraordinary presentation.

In addition to the Niagara of Knowledge that will cascade upon you, there will be structured and guided meditations that will take you into higher dimensions of Being that will enable you to liberate yourself in real time from the matrix of Maya. You will learn the art of mastery over the ego mind. You will learn to wield the Sword of Spiritual Power. You will learn that you can silence the mind at will and enter the Supreme Reality.

You have the Power. But you must learn to use it. Seminar One is the opportunity to do that. But the Rabbit Hole is deep, and you will never be the same. Join us if you dare.

Shunyamurti will be the lead teacher this time. This may be the last time he will teach this seminar.

Time: 10am-5pm Saturday and Sunday, May 29 & 30.

Lunch and refreshments included both days.

Tuition: $200. (partial scholarships available to those with financial limitations. Please talk to Radha if you need a reduced fee.) Students who have already attended Seminar One but would like to take it again, can participate for half-fee.

Please register at least one week in advance. Thank you.

Sat Yoga's May Film Series!

The Sat Yoga Institute is happy to present our Fund-Raising Film Series for May. The films we screened in April received a very high level of approval for their mind-opening information and high quality of production. We have another series of mind-expanding hits lined up for this month. Last month, we focused on films related to the food system, nutrition, and health. This month, we focus on a mix of physics and metaphysics. Please come and support our community, and participate in these exciting and educational events. Each film will be followed by a lively discussion.

May 7: Tesla: Master of Lightning. This film explores the life and work of one of the greatest scientists of the modern age. His work is responsible for the development of our large-scale power systems, and many of his insights are being used today in top-secret projects, for purposes he would no doubt have opposed. Tesla was a yogi as well as a scientist, a visionary whose ideas have still not been fully understood and digested. His most profound discoveries are of great importance to those on the path of serious yogic achievement. The implications for the development of siddhis are enormous. You will not want to miss this important film, especially as Tesla's work will be the basis of a great deal of our future studies.

May 14: Tonight we screen an amazing double feature. The first film is called Holes in Heaven? HAARP and Advances in Tesla Technology. We continue with the study of the consequences of Tesla's research, focusing on how the government is experimenting with our atmosphere in ways that could damage the health of planetary life. There is great controversy over the charges that are being leveled at HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project). Critics say the technology could blow a massive hole in the upper atmosphere, adversely affecting weather patterns as well as disrupting the subtle magnetic energies of all life on Earth. Others say its ultimate purpose is advanced surveillance, or even mind control. Still others link it to a defense against extraterrestrial invasion. Whatever the truth may be, you will be far more informed after seeing this extraordinary film.

This will be followed by Cognition Factor, the story of one man's search for enlightenment in the digital age. Many of the most famed minds of our time, including Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, and Ralph Abraham, offer their insights into the major metaphysical questions that stir our souls.

May 28: The Quantum Activist. This heart-warming documentary exploring the mystical yogic insights of a renowned physicist from India, Amit Goswami, will help you achieve a more complete paradigm shift to a new way of understanding reality. Goswami explains clearly how our current mainstream ideology has led to the environmental, social, economic, and spiritual crisis in which our world is now caught. The way out begins with spiritual self-transformation. Don't miss this revelatory presentation!

May 21: We will finally screen the film that has probably had the greatest impact on the consciousness of the masses in recent times. The Matrix explores the ancient idea that the world is Maya, an unreal illusion. In this version, however, the illusion is not created by the Supreme Being but by advanced machines with artificial intelligence that no longer want human interference. The philosophic depth of this film is unusual for a Hollywood production, but this of course is interwoven with violent special effects, including the obligatory kung fu action scenes. So if you are sensitive to loud, techno music, sometimes disgusting mind-warping visuals, and mega kick action, then you may want to skip this one. But on the whole, we believe it is worth the ordeal to understand how the Wachowski brothers, who wrote and directed this film, have integrated the ideas of Bishop Berkeley and Jean Baudrillard to create an unprecedented mind-shift in pop culture. Since we will be studying the work of the two above-named philosophers, it will provide a good basis for future discussions.

This month in our Premaculture Book Group, we will be studying Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger, by Alick Bartholomew. Hidden Nature is a mind-blowing portal into the life and times of Austrian naturalist, Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958). Higher dimensions, eco-technology, and spiritual insights were the playground of Schauberger's rare and revolutionary brilliance. Schauberger, a Natural genius in every sense of the term, deeply opposed the reductionistic, mechanistic ideology of modern science--which he felt would lead to ecological disaster years before climate change was even a twinkle in any environmentalist's eye--and instead preferred to learn from the subtle energies and from examples of Nature itself. If you are interested in rediscovering the sacred in science, free energy, anti-gravity, or learning more about this controversial figure whose findings, if taken seriously, "would mean rewriting all the textbooks in the world," then we invite you to attend our first meeting on Tuesday, May 4 at 7:00pm.
