Swami Nishchalananda Online Satsang 10/06/23

 In this Zoomsang, Swamiji gives a guided meditation on Self-identification. Then he talks about Stillness and deep Peace, the meeting of science and mysticism; the importance of not getting swamped by the distractions of daily life, being sensitive to given situations, and not trying too hard to ‘spiritualise’ daily situations and conversations, but just taking them as they present themselves. He emphasises the importance of helping others (seva) and accepting where people are, not blocking the flow of life’s energy. He talks of dreams – their meaning and where they come from and just how extraordinary and inexplicable they are. He indicates that much of our dreams come from beyond the personality in the collective unconscious, the realm of archetypes. They indicate the past, present and the future, issues concerning our personal life, as well as the wider sphere of the world. He explains that everything, both past and future – the entire potential of existence – is in the Now; that, fundamentally, time is an illusion. He then talked briefly of Tantra, which is Indian Shamanism.
