Finnish pop superstar, Danny, intends to finally start living and loving at 67 after heart attack

Monday, November 8th, 2010

It may surprise you that even heartthrob pop superstars with the world and lovesick girls at their feet don’t know how to live and have a bit of trouble loving.

Danny (Ilkka Lipsanen), the first rock star to bring colourful choreography to the Finnish rock scene recently made a surprising statement to the press after a heart attack last month which left him at the “gates of death”

Danny now wants to live and love at the age of 67.

I am happy that Danny has come to this spiritual realisation and that he his publicising it through the Finland’s media channels. It may cause others to start waking up and question why they are living the way that they do.

Without asking such questions awareness cannot arise sufficient for constructive changes to happen.

I wonder how Danny will start opening himself up to life and how he will start giving and receiving love?

I know that it will not be easy. Simply having an intention is not enough. Habits and inhibitions have to be overcome. These tendencies are deep rooted, related to painful experiences and are well defended in the psyche.

In my work of guiding others to be all that they can be these areas are encountered and gently overcome. It takes dedication, persistence and support. Fortunately, good results come surprisingly fast and this encourages person to carry on until all is good and perfect.

I have been teaching that you don’t need to get to death’s door to realise that life has brought you wonderful opportunities. Human life is short, it does not get longer.

Danny’s poignant story reminds us of several important principles:

  • Starting fully living and loving today
  • Take every opportunity that life gives you
  • Be kind to others
  • Don’t take for granted what you already have
  • Being famous does not guarantee getting the most precious things in life – in fact it may make life more difficult

    • The Danny’s news story closely follows recent Oshana spiritual teaching events this past past two days:

    The Helsinki Intensive The Real Price of Having a Life

    and

    The live online class (every Sunday) The Rest of Your Life

    The rest of your life awaits you, but like Danny, are you ready to pay a big price to realise it? Don’t wait until it’s too late!

    Contact me through my website for support, guidance and assistance. It’s what it’s there for!

    Blessing in the glories and opportunities of life,

    Inception Movie’s Spiritual Awakening Metaphors

    Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

    “Inception” is one of those movies which offers valuable metaphors for spiritual teaching. But a metaphor is only truly useful when it is fully realised or used in the service of awakening another.

    “Inception” is about dreams, illusions, projections, inner defenses, internal sabotage, buried memories and unresolved issues. It won’t wake you up but with the guidance of an authentic spiritual teacher the movie can provide a new language of dreams for non-psychotherapists.

    It’s progress if people start to wonder if their life is an illusion and start to seek for meaning. People are living in a dream which will, at the very least, fall apart when they die. How to bring the structures of the dream crashing down in such a way that the dream is exposed without destroying the fully functioning human mind? That question is for budding spiritual teachers.

    Waking has to be done carefully and effectively otherwise the attempt will fail, take forever or worse crash and burn.

    If you want to wake up from the dream and come back to Reality then contact me, Mal – it’s what I am here for.

    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

    Spiritual Meditation: Accepting Total Responsibility, Absolute Power, Complete Dominion

    Monday, June 1st, 2009

    A meditation to realise that you are greater than you imagined, take back your power and see life from the enlightened perspective.

    The world, the mind, the creation. Where did it come from? When will it go? Like it or not you are on the merry-go-round called Life. It could go on seemingly for an eternity. Perhaps, it will only stop when you take responsibility for it and get it right, instead of running around, sunning yourself and pretending it is somebody else’s problem.

    The first part of this online guided meditation will take you deep into yourself, dropping through the layers which keep you put and creating the freedom to travel. Here, you will meet yourself, your creator, and be able to ask questions and find answers to the perplexing problems which you have created. Ultimately, you will take the decision to exercise your power creatively and solve the problems of your creation, your planet and your world.

    If you want to meet yourself, if you want go deeper than you ever have in meditation then this is one online class you can not miss.

    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.
