A message from Stuart
"What is real is only what you are experiencing in this moment where you are right now. What you see, feel, touch, taste, and smell right now is your only reality. Past and future are inventions that make us feel safe. The truth is that we invented everything in our lives and now we are trapped in our own unreality. We have made the unreal our only reality. Let me share with you the greatest truth. What is not experienced in this fine little sliver of a moment that we are presently in, simply cannot exist at all... anywhere. What's more, it's a trap. Believing in anything other than what is your present moment experience is the root cause of all suffering. Enlightenment does not exist. This now only exists. Does it contain Enlightenment? Of course it doesn't. Enlightenment is just another notion we invented to make us suffer. We suffer because we long for it in some future. There is no future. This is it now! This now will be here always. It is obvious. This is real. There is no forever, no religion, no heaven, no belief, no philosophy and no etc. This is this. This is the only reality."

 Welcome to the American Buddha Newsletter for April 2009. This Month, I will be discussing the nature of the Present Moment and also Spiritual Enlightenment. The American Buddha Programs were created as a vehicle to dispense information regarding the true nature of the Awakened experience and its practical benefits in the modern world. The American Buddha Programs were created as a resource for those in need of counseling or healing on all levels; physical, emotional, and spiritual. Be sure to check out all of our programs at our website at: americanbuddha.net

SPIRITUAL ENLIGHNENMENT
SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTMENT is a naturally-occurring Organic process. It is an experience produced by a unique shift in brain chemistry. This shift in brain chemistry is characterized subjectively by a "de-clutching" of the mind from the process of Sensory experience.
SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT is the 100% enlivening of the Sensory apparatus of the Central Nervous System. What restricts our natural ability to Sense 100% of our moment to moment experience comes from a combination of factors including: Cosmic forces, Human Species karma, genetics, culture, religion, emotional charges, and physical stressors that have been accumulating in us since our conception in our mother's womb. This situation is UNAVOIDABLE. It is our "Original Sin". Every Human Being is the victim of this process and we are all damaged by the time we become adults. Our Self-Limiting Neural Networks located throughout our brains are organic manifestations of this malfunctioning perceptual apparatus. Scientists tell us that our sensory apparatus takes in about 400 million bits of information a second. But, out of this vast pool of information, our brains select out only 2000 bits of information to define as our moment to moment reality. There are Self-limiting Neural Networks in our brains that are responsible for this limitation. These Self-limiting Neural-nets are the physical expressions of our unconscious mind and they are responsible for the development of the "I" sense. The "I" sense an expression of the lack of accurate sensory information available to our brains. It is nobody's fault. So don't blame anyone like; your mom, dad, or society. The whole idea is that now, as we near the Golden Age, we have an opportunity to transcend these problems once and for all. Here are some general attitudes that you can adopt:
FORGIVE EVERYONE..... and that includes forgiving yourself. The problem of people hurting other people.... has been going on since Adam and Eve. It is especially important that you forgive your parents and anyone with a direct genetic link to you. When you are angry with them....you are actually angry with the body they made for you and you cannot evolve spiritually. Set right all relationships.
Spiritual growth requires AUTHENTICITY. The authentic "you", with all of your faults and flaws and silliness, is the "you" that Awakens.
DIVINE GRACE is that which propels us from complete ignorance to the Highest States of Spiritual development. You can meditate your head off, for thousands of lifetimes, but if God's Grace does not choose to effortlessly infuse into you, your Enlightenment will never occur.
Openness is not enough to receive the Divine Grace necessary to grow towards Enlightenment. RECEPIVITY is required. You are receiving God's gift. Receive it with open arms.
After we receive God's gift of Divine Grace, we must express heartfelt GRATITUDE. This tells God that we are open to receiving even greater amounts of Divine Grace.
The road to Spiritual Enlightenment is completely EFFORTLESS. Effort in the cause of spiritual growth is in direct opposition to Natural Law.
FEELING this present moment, completely as it is, is the ONLY TRUTH. Feeling what is...exactly as it is...IS ENLIGHTENMENT! But the mind interprets our feelings and fragments the innocent unity of the moment into a million tiny pieces of content. Now what I am going to express here is the fundamental principle in spiritual growth:
"The CONTENT of our moment to moment experience is NOT IMPORTANT. Therefore, any analysis of our moment to moment experience is counter-evolutionary. It is just the mind distracting us for the innocent process of experience. Things just are. Life just is. Our, in the moment, experience requires No embellishment. It requires no explanations. All reasoning is based on preconceived notions of our past experiences. Reasoning is based on, perceptions, beliefs, society, religion, philosophies, the media, and organic flaws located in the perceptual mechanisms of the brain. They are NOT REAL. They are the stories and dreams that we have all created to make ourselves suffer."

AMERICAN BUDDHA ATTRACTION C.D.
Those of you who are familiar with my workshops know that I teach a very powerful technique to attract relationships and material success. This technique is based on an ages old secret spiritual knowledge regarding the nature of the attractive force produced between two celestial bodies. This knowledge was considered to be so powerful, that the ancient yogis never made it available to the general public. But the time is now right to utilize this power in a proper manner for the benefit of all of humanity. Many of you have requested the American Buddha Attraction Technique and I have decided to record a studio version of it. The C.D. is scheduled to be released in late May.
AMERICAN BUDDHA BOOK
The "American Buddha" Book in now available in e-book form at a special price. American Buddha was written to help shift the reader into an Awakened Consciousness. 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.
American Buddha was written in the form of a Divine dialogue between a teacher and his students. There are many aspects of the Awakened experience that are being made available to the reader for the first time in this book. On the deepest level, American Buddha is simply your Soul speaking to it self. The words are just a cover. The words are there just to pacify your mind. It is not the words; rather, it is the state that they will bring you to that is important. These words are a kind of gateway. There is a silence associated with them that is significant. If they are read, just know that you will gain a foothold in the area beyond your mind. You will come to know your Soul intimately. You will come to know your inmost Self. You will taste eternity. You will gradually awaken from a million lifetimes of sleep and you will know your Divinity. Order the American Buddha e-book today at a special savings. (see details below) Look for the much anticipated..... American Buddha Two..... in bookstores July 2009.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE ABOUT THE AMERICAN BUDDHA BOOK
There has been a tremendous amount of interest in the "American Buddha' book recently. This includes the interest of some highly-placed Spiritual Masters. A couple of these Masters were concerned that I was giving out too much private spiritual information to the reader and they have asked me to provide you with specific guidelines on how to use the American Buddha book. So I just wanted to speak to all of you today about this. First of all, American Buddha should not be seen as a book that solely exists to provide the reader with spiritual information. It should definitely not be approached as something to read cover to cover in a day or two. This would truly be a waste of your time. Why? The American Buddha book is actually a very powerful spiritual technique. That is, the book is actually its own spiritual practice. Each word in American Buddha is specifically designed to help to gradually shift the consciousness of the reader into a Spiritually Awakened state. American Buddha is infused with an intelligence which works to allow the reader's nervous system to operate comfortably in an expanded state of awareness. Therefore, American Buddha is a book that should be savored. Read only a couple of pages at a time. For maximum effect, it is best to read American Buddha following your daily spiritual practice.
With Love and Blessing
