The Hot Steamy Summer Pre-Retreat Message

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

“Enlightenment is closer than you imagine!”

Dear Enlightenment Participant!

2 days to the Island Retreat. Are you feeling the heat, yet? It’s been a sultry 86F (30C), punctuated by warm sunny showers. Even the lakes are steaming!

o group walk pier

I’m feeling it. I have been lounging beside a forest lake for 10 days. Well, not always lounging; I had time to make a teaching video which you will get to see after we figure out how to edit it properly for online viewing.

I also got out the yellow hardhat to work on the new DaveOshana.com v.2.0. I and our hardworking tech, Nico, are excited with the delightful new features that will make it easier for you to find and watch videos, articles, book classes and replays and listen to free audio.

But alas! Computers are not responding well to my carbon-based touch. Nothing new, but rarer these days. After arriving back home, I immediately blew my desktop computer and a vacuum cleaner.

I hope I don’t blow up at the Retreat with all the "cosmic cleaning" (that expression care of a pair of Antipodeans) which is already happening. Normally, machines adapt to work very well around me except when I am buzzing as I am now.

Before any Teaching, the Transmission ramps up, life and mind slows down, different things happen and there is a tonne of detox. Always remember, drink water, avoid sticky foods, get lots of sleep before you attend a Teaching event.

I am going to be offline soon for about 10 days. But I’ll certainly be back with spiritual internet classes starting Sunday 8th August. You will be the first to know the new online class titles if you are subscribed to the online classes update list at DaveOshana.com (you need to login and go to Settings). It has been fun giving the classes and constantly improving the delivery.

The USA teaching trip is still a hot topic of planning and finding very interesting venues. I should be there mid-September for 3 weeks going into October in Maine and Boston.

Finally, I want to emphasise what the Oshana Enlightenment Teaching is really about. It’s about saying goodbye to the old you: your constructed, artificial identity. It’s not about improving that old wrecked model but bringing out the shining model which has been patiently waiting in a barn under a tarpaulin. So allow yourself a vacation away from your old self and life as you knew it. The reward is potentially great – Enlightenment!

Looking forward to seeing you on the other side of Enlightenment!

Dave O.

Why You Need At Least 3 People To Help Get You Enlightened

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

I figured out that you need at least 3 people to help you get Enlightened. Some seekers believe a teacher or guide is necessary to get enlightened and some do not. But what is the reality? I will explain, without recourse to hackneyed old traditional speculative answers, something which I had no clue about on the day that I got Enlightened, which is that you need 3 people for the Enlightenment Process to be effective.

energy meditation

Since becoming a spiritual teacher following my Enlightenment on 19 June 2000, I have felt that I can make a crucial difference for other seekers to find their own Enlightenment. In reality, I could not see how they could do it without my help, and for this reason felt compelled to teach even though I had never wanted to teach. Based on nearly 10 years of teaching experience, I can definitely, declare that miracles happen consistently on a daily basis. I notice a dramatic and unprecedented rise in awareness, energy and ability of seekers who connect to the Enlightenment Transmission. Although, this continually happens I am still frequently surprised, in awe and grateful.

We can now throw out the old rusty traditional Enlightenment Handbook and observe how it happens live and direct. Truly, I can say that seekers who connect to the Enlightenment Transmission are experiencing a seemingly impossible rebirth and enjoying a new existence.

The typical rationalisation given by religious institutions for having a teacher is that everyone needs a teacher for every activity in life. I have always disagreed with this because some activities happen naturally and that Life is the Teacher. I also believe that Enlightenment is a natural God-given birthright. However, there are, within each seeker obstructions, which I as a spiritual midwife can remove when the seeker requests it.

I also have always maintained that Enlightenment should happen out there, in Life, and not in a monastery. I do not live in a temple; I live in the real world, because that is where Life is happening. However, I do also recommend an occasional, temporary retreat from the distractions of everyday life to benefit from a continuous and intense exposure to the Enlightenment Transmission for those who are able to cope with transformations and openings.

Coming back to the title of this live online class, "Why You Need At Least 3 People To Help Get You Enlightened", I will explain. As I have taken so much of your time already, I will simply give you a clue – only one of those 3 persons has to be an enlightened spiritual teacher!

Join in this live online class on 30th May 2010 or order the replay even if you are just the tiniest bit interested in Enlightenment and how it can be brought about.

What I really, really want is for Christmas is . . .

Friday, December 25th, 2009

I realised this year why it is that the older you get that Christmas does not work. Our ancient ancestors must have realised a few days after the shortest astronomical day was a very good excuse the celebrate the return of the light. Perfectly acceptable behaviour until the religious and secular marketing men turned up to subvert the festival and progressively brainwashed the masses to associate it with myths, untruths and lies. Jesus was not born on Christmas Day and didn’t even follow a solar calendar. The only relevance of Santa Claus is that the original Saint Nicholas was connected to Turkey, the namesake of poor bird that gets gutted and stuffed in sacrifice ever so-called Christ-mass.

Jesus

If you want to be loving at Christmas you don’t need to get drunk, sing silly tunes, send e-cards. I don’t take up space writing the whole list of ridiculous behaviours. I invite you to meditate. I already gave a dig at Christmas madness yesterday in my evil twin anti-enlightenment blog, Un-Enlightened Society, in a post entitled The Matrix Meltdown at Christmas: Real Goodwill. Like all things spiritual and transformational, don’t read it unless you want an alternative perspective.

Into the real meaning of this post. I realised that Christmas does not work for me because it is unreal. It’s a ritualistic game of fake sentiments. I prefer to be real. Unfortunately, Christmas is an invitation, even a strong pressure, a Spanish Inquisition to suspend reality and sincerity.

I don’t ask for much so I never notice that I don’t get what I would really want for Christmas. First I would want Christmas to go away. Instead, let’s all go to the forest and cook over a wood fire in a yurt. Next let’s have some real food. All that wasted money could be spent on top quality organic delicacies and exotic foods. Me what do I want? Oh, I’m not denying that I don’t enjoy a pair of woollen socks and cotton boxer shorts, but what I really, really want is a website. Yes, a website! A fully functioning up-to-date website with all the content that would explain, describe and give the experience and understanding of the Enlightenment Transmission and Teaching. Until I have that site I know that my teaching cannot go forward without having to reinvent the wheel again and again. Once the website is there then many other projects can go forward. That’s what I really want. Now let me open that gift wrapped box . . . Oho! It’s a . . .

I, therefore, strongly suggest that it is time to go fast track.

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Dear Friends,

Summer is here! Never mind.

In Finland, everything stops as every formerly working person, escapes to the forest for rests. That’s why:

  • it’s the last live online class for awhile (all domestic internet services will terminate) but free audio and class replays continue
  • all registrations for the summer island retreat have to be in (you will know you are registered if you receive an email begging for a deposit on 09.06.09 or refusing your application)

Whatever you do locally for summer, I would like you to meditate on how many summers you have left (if this disturbs you then stop reading here). In Finland, there are only so many saunas you can have before your body shrivels up like a prune or a prawn and the big E-gal in the sky pecks you off.

This almost makes sense when you don’t think directly about it. The mind is incredibly over-invested in the illusion of continuity even when South Sea Bubble is absolutely certain to burst. Which means “you die, I die, we all die – spry, crisp ‘n dry.”

This summer marks the 9th Year of my Enlightenment (since 19.06.2000). This does not mean anything to you – but it could. All is lost unless you wake up from the dream of unreality. Only so many summers left for someone.

I, therefore, suggest (strongly for a change) that it is time to go fast track. There’s nothing to lose except all being lost. So, continuing on an uncharacteristic track, unseen since 2000-2002, I super strongly urge you to to bind up every ounce of grit and courage and go for IT. As I said, you have nothing to lose except everything, guaranteed.

Every year, around Enlightenment Day, it becomes especially easy to awaken. An incredible amount of energy is liberated precisely for self-realisation.

This offer isn’t always available. That’s the message. Take it.

Wanna go fast track? Think about it. Then act. Write me subject line: “I want to go fast track”

By the Grace and Living Light of the Enlightenment Transmission,
Dave Oshana

Pentecost 2009: The Fire Of Transmission

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

The Holy Spirit is back!

Transmission is the fire from heaven, brighter than a billion suns, which releases the soul from its entanglement from the ego’s illusory identity

Nine years of Enlightenment, nine years of teaching – the same fire, The Transmission, which seared through the ties of my old identity, continues to burn away at the mistaken identification suffered by everyone who takes birth on this planet.

Transmission is the Holy Spirit which lifted up a simple, ordinary man to be the Christ, propelling him out of the wilderness, and into the cities to end the illusory path of mankind – which inevitably led to the end of his physical life. But Transmission, cannot be stopped, it is here from age to age because we tourists on Earth, yearn to be re-connected to our Homeplace.

Transmission will connect you to that place, the Source of Creation, from which you come, and to which you will return.
2009 is the year of opportunity wherein you can make a permanent connection to the Transmission, expand your limited identity and experience Life, Creation and Consciousness in all of its fullness. Make the connection; take the opportunity, because in life there is no guarantee of finding it this easily ever again.

Scepticism & Discrimination: The Spiritual Razor’s Edge

Monday, May 18th, 2009

I don’t believe anything is true until I actually experience it

New seekers with stars in their eyes are sometimes shocked to discover that I don’t believe in anything. But it isn’t so bad a place to be because by not having a fixed position I can believe in everything. But why bother? Life is too short to believe this, that and the other – I’d rather experience Life and know what is real than believe in stories.

You won’t get off the spiritual path if you are invested in believing a single thing. Don’t believe – instead know. If you want to discover Reality then don’t believe in a single created thing. Reality is what precedes Creation.

On the spiritual path scepticism is your best friend. Scepticism sharpens the razor’s edge of discrimination. You need to be sharp, otherwise you will be the blunt tool (which rhymes with “fool”).

If you want to stay on the spiritual theme park merry-go-round then avoid discrimination at all costs. But if you are tired of the shiny, shimmering fake ride then hold scepticism in your bag of special abilities. It will get you out of some tight corners in which others have met their spiritual death through ignorance.

Awareness, energy and then scepticism are the first tools a spiritual seeker needs to climb the mountain to Enlightenment. If you are ready for the climb then join me this Sunday.

Investing in Loss: The Pure Way to Spiritual Enlightenment

Monday, May 11th, 2009

When everything that you have tried has failed then it is time to do things differently.

Has it occurred to you:

  • that you perceive problems because you create them?
  • that you never have enough time because you continually use it all up?
  • that you never arrive at your centre because you are always moving away from it?
  • that your attempts to know yourself only create a false self?

If so, then it is time for you to apply “the principle of doing nothing.” From nothingness comes everything, but from something only less can come. To turn the boat of your life around, and stop it steaming towards a less-than-pleasing horizon, your boat needs to reach a still point before it can change direction. Find the still point from where all potentiality can manifest.

If you like doing nothing,
and expect nothing,
then join this class,
but don’t be a slacker,
be a hacker
of consciousness,
I expect nothing more,
only less

If less is more then Nothing is Everything; Reality really is exactly like that.

I will show you exactly how to know all this and a new way of being.

The Solution For Every Mental Stress

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

The Comforting Discovery That Mental Troubles Do Not Exist.

Today, I can now reveal how I was able to quickly release total strangers of their mental suffering and strife in open meetings.

I received many important psychological realisations when my life changed on Enlightenment Day, 19th June 2000 – discoveries which could end mental suffering for every person on the planet. It became my mission to test that this is true by holding no-holds-barred, all-challenges-accepted Open Meetings. The challenge was either you leave having inherited all the happiness in the Universe or I go home broken, defeated, depressed and carrying all your sorrows. A pretty good deal.

My Enlightenment Day realisations included:

  • There is not an unhappy thought in my mind or body
  • A person can not be truly unhappy
  • A person carries their troubles in their mind
  • A person can drop their mentally held troubles in an instant

I demonstrated the truth of these assertions in meetings where total strangers professing chronic life-long depression and frequent suicidal ideation were transformed in an instant to laughing, uncomplaining, happy bundles of fun. Not necessarily cured for life but had at least opened the door for the next project, permanent Enlightenment.

When I brought these transformations in front of audiences, there were no detailed explanations, but today I can now reveal the secrets of what was being applied behind the scenes. I can open your senses, to perceive how it worked. It is my desire that you use these abilities responsibly, because with such power many different outcomes are possible. Changing people not only changes their life, but everyone around them, and the world with it.

You can now understand why I am careful about who I teach. If you wish to attend this online class, and have never been in my classes, please write early and let me know more about yourself.

For regular students: book your online classes now at daveoshana.com. As always: first come, first served. You will receive a helpful email about preparing for the class.
