Scepticism & Discrimination: The Spiritual Razor’s Edge

On the spiritual path sceptisicm is your best friend. Scepticism sharpens the razor’s edge of discrimination, and you need to be sharp, otherwise you will be the blunt tool (which rhymes with *fool*). Awareness, energy and then scepticism are the first tools a spiritual seeker needs to climb the mountain to Enlightenment.

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

If less is more then Nothing is Everything; Reality really is exactly like that. 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? You never have enough time because you continually use it all up? You never arrive at your centre because you are always moving away from it? 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.

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

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.

My Enlightenment Day realisations included: A person can not be truly unhappy. A person carries their troubles in their mind. The a person can drop their troubles very fast.

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.

Raw Naked Spiritual Teaching vs Powder Puff Poetry

How not to get trapped in the snooty boutique of fake spirituality.

There is a kind of spirituality – you can find it in popular books and stirring speeches. Unfortunately, it’s not rare and you might have been infected by it without realising it.

Getting to the point: pretty words and spiritual powder puff poetry are not the real thing. Never could be, never will be. I speak as a former spiritual comics addict.

Getting closer to the point: Real spirituality is vivid, palpable and invigorating.

In this Sunday’s online class I will:

  • Point out the differences between real and sham spirituality.
  • Explain how to diagnose whether your problems are related to conceptual misunderstanding and unrealistic fantasies.
  • Introduce you to raw breathtaking spirituality, which once tasted means no more eating cardboard since you now know that you want the cornflakes inside the box more than the box itself – and, of course, I will show you how to find them.

All that in one class!

The Enlightenment Teaching Legacy: Transmission, Power, Responsibility

With the free gift of Transmission the Oshana student is exposed to a powerful transformation process which affects their identity, behaviour and self-perception. This will present openings and challenges and invisibly present others with the hidden power to evolve. The student is strongly counselled to make the most of the potential spiritual growth energy which the Transmission brings, to move with it and not resist, to be gentle with others whilst fully conscious when they are ready to evolve. Hence, Transmission is a gift not only to the individual but also to significant others and the whole planet.

This Transmission Intensive opens up the spiritual seekers’ awareness of the wider dimensions involved in being a spiritual student, teacher and recipient of the Enlightenment Transmission.

Typically, in mass produced spirituality spiritual seekers are not brought “inside the door” i.e. given the necessary experiences, information and understanding to make the spiritual journey from gross identification to self-liberation.

In the Oshana Spiritual Teaching only a small number of students are taught allowing for the best possible customised learning environment beyond direct One-to-One tuition (which be excruciatingly intense and exacting).

With the free gift of the constantly available Transmission the Oshana student is exposed to a powerfully inexorable transformation process which will unstoppingly affect their identity, behaviour and self-perception. This will present openings and challenges and invisibly present others with the hidden power to evolve.

The student is strongly counselled to make the most of the potential spiritual growth energy which the Transmission brings, to move with it and not resist, to be gentle with others whilst fully conscious when they are ready to evolve. Hence, Transmission is a gift not only to the individual but also to significant others and the whole planet.

If time and relevance permits, and because it is Easter Sunday, we will take the real life example of Jesus (Christ) and explore how he managed this incredible energy and sought to fulfil duty to others.

2009 Message: How IT All Started – and Ended

How IT All Started
– and Ended

Transmission AUDIOcast

18th January 2009
Starts 4pm Helsinki (2pm London)
Cost: Nothing, Nada, Nichts

Dear Seekers,

What a good way to start the New Year – late (having missed all the bad news and great sales) and with a free AUDIOcast as a way to introduce the start of a new season of Sunday afternoon (or brunch depending on your region) Live Transmission online classes. New flavours from the Oshana kitchen of experimental spiritual cuisine – but relax – exactly the same tried and true ingredients.

Thematically, the AUDIOcast will be about how it all started and ended for me – as a seeker. I can just about remember those days. Pre-2000, I chased after anything and everything, even bags in the wind …

Cue: The plastic bag scene from “American Beauty” and the words, “And that’s the day I realized there was this entire life behind things, and… this incredibly benevolent force … Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart’s going to cave in.”

Well, actually scraps of paper covered with cryptic inscriptions describing the beneficence of sundry mystics who held audience in hard-to-find London tenements. Normal people, it seemed, chucked such invaluable maps to consciousness away, totally oblivious to the inherent value.

This is how I spent my youth. Misspent? The court is out on that one. Fortunately, for all its wonder and spectacle, my seeking days ended fatefully on 19th June 2000. No more seekers anymore (set to the tune of “No More Heroes” – do not follow link). I can’t say I miss any of it – because – I don’t.

If you know me. (You do? Ok, I can tell you then) Then you know that Waking UP was the singularly most important event for me. It was like the time and place when and where I entered into this world. Year Zero. There was nothing before it. How peculiar.

Being a spiritual teacher and sharing magical lights, mind shattering wisdom, spontaneous healings and experiences so deep you could free fall for ever and ever – this is nothing compared to the Enlightenment because nothing compares to birth, I can tell you, and so can quite a few recently overwhelmed happy Oshana student couples – Congratulations!

Except in my case I was spiritually reborn, not physically (although I had heretofore toyed with the idea but figured my mum would not be up for it). I always wanted a new life, a fresh start. Come mid-June 2000, I had it.

I am trying my best not to reveal the AUDIOcast, not to expose the new soup’s secret seasoning. Truth is, I don’t know what it is yet. I haven’t cooked it. But this weekend, when I am all alone, I will make it.

I think I have said enough. I’ll stop here. Save to mention a few practical items. Yawn! Pay attention, especially if you have never attended an Oshana online class or AUDIOcast, this may prevent lifetimes of gnawing dissatisfaction at having missed the audio stream due to a completely avoidable mistake.

Well, I’ll spare you the details in this email. If you are interested, and there is no reason why no to be, then you will find all the information about tuning in this Sunday at the following web-page How IT All Started – and Ended and if you miss it there will be a repeat (at the end of 2009 – just kidding!)

And whether or not you miss the free AUDIOcast you still have time to catch the paid-for live class on 25th January Why You Should Stop Seeking, Today! After which, I will never call you a seeker ever again, never ever.

And if I don’t catch you in life then may it be the next!

Seasons greetings,
Dave Oshana

Absolute Freedom: Soul Level Karma-Free Action

A seminar by Dave Oshana

Absolute Freedom: Soul Level Karma-Free Action

Summary
Visit the birthplace of your soul, your true home, where all actions are karma-free and in harmony with the Universe and the Will of God. Understand the (Bodhisattva) principle of living to end pain and suffering of others. See beyond the illusory curtain of this world and realise the absolute freedom which you have inherited.

Message
The laws of cause and effect, more poetically known as “karma”, seem to be in operation everywhere.  However, mystics have referred to a transcendental realm which is unaffected by karma – we can call it the “karma-free zone”.

The idea of karma is complex but in its simplest form it is that every action has an effect. The personal relevance is that the effects of your actions have to be paid off. Unfortunately, debt payments cannot be paid immediately but are staggered over many lifetimes.

Bad deeds a lot of suffering until you learn to discriminate right from wrong action. Fortunately, good works, which you surely do, mean lifetimes of rewards on heavenly planets, enjoying seemingly unlimited pleasures and being treated like a minor god. Unfortunately, your credit runs out and you get sent back down to Earth to repeat the process again – ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Eventually, you get tired of this unending cycle of reward and punishment and figure out that there must be more to life and you become a spiritual seeker.  From there on you set your sights, all though you don’t know it yet, on finding the “karma-free zone”. In the “karma-free zone” you don’t get attached to anything and so you don’t have to physically incarnate ever again – this amounts to a huge saving in living costs.  However, if you are a Bodhisattva-type, meaning a “really nice person”, then you incarnate to relieve the suffering of others.

However, the physical body is subject to the laws of physics. So in that sense the Bodhisattva-type suffers, because all bodies suffer, on Earth for the sake of others. But the Bodhisattva-type is experiencing life from a different place compared to the average person. Whilst his feet are firmly on the ground, his awareness is not in his head, or his earthly identity but his transcendental activities in his eternal home.

The Bodhisattva-type would like to go home forever but for the sake of others stays in the body. This might remind you of Jesus describing how His Father’s home is not of this world.
If you would like to visit this heavenly realm then you can. There are two types of visas, temporary stay and permanent.

The temporary heavenly visa means you get to experience bliss, freedom and expansion but you cannot stay there indefinitely and you can’t choose how long you can stay or when you can go back. The permanent visa means that you are in the heavenly karma-free zone all of the time. However, the price that you pay is that you can never experience life from a mundane human perspective and never feel that Earth is your proper home.

The “karma-free zone” is actually the Primordial Space from which all of Creation came. It is insubstantial and un-manifest. In that place there is no distance, time or matter. Yet everything is there. Because there are no things therefore there are no actions. This is why it is karma-less. Yet, we can go there anytime because it is our true Home from where we came and to where we will eventually return.

The good news is that you can visit your Home before you finish all your incarnations because you already exist in that place. However, your worldly filters out spiritual information and stops you experiencing the full magnitude of what you really are. The mind creates the illusion of a fictitious world. Called “maya” in Hinduism and “The Matrix” in modern stories.  I show ways to go beyond the mind to that place where you can experience absolute freedom, where actions have no karma and everything you do is in harmony with the Universe and God’s Will.

Unshakeable Confidence in One’s Sacred Life Purpose

Spiritual teacher and psychologist Dave Oshana gives a unique seminar about happiness.
Unshakeable Confidence in One’s Sacred Life Purpose

Summary
There is only one right choice in each moment. The mind is too slow to figure it. Only your soul’s intuition can show you the way. I reveal an energy, a teaching and techniques which will take you out of the mind and into the moment where you will find unlimited wisdom and unshakeable confidence.

Message
How can you be sure that your next move is the best one?

It’s a lot of pressure isn’t it? Yet we will put ourselves under this pressure every day, many times a day for the rest of our lives. So it’s worth solving this problem, ending daily confusion and being able to get on with our lives in the certain knowledge that we are doing absolutely the right thing in any given moment.

First something to relax you. God  (or the Universe or Consciousness, whatever word suits you) does not demand that you achieve anything.  That’s right.  That’s not why you are here, sweetie. God wants you to enjoy life. That does not necessarily mean tonnes of hedonistic activities but to enjoy at least the fact that you are here, alive, breathing and in existence. And to laugh because when you laugh God gets to laughs too.

Maybe you feel the Truth in that but still you can’t shake off your old beliefs enough to relax and feel why you are really here. In that case come to the mini-seminar, and laugh at life and even yourself. Let’s clear up some myths, mistakes and misunderstanding – they are often the cause of problems.

If you could relax, then you would discover that life is fun and you would see more clearly. The ultimate aim is that you know who you are and what you want to do.

Also be aware that Life sometimes wants you to have a complete rest, that means to do Nothing.  Very few people dare to do absolutely nothing but it’s the necessary step before taking massive action and getting things done.

Once you have rested fully then your life force energy goes to the opposite pole towards absolute activity. If you allow yourself to go to both extremes then you avoid burn-out. If you get stuck in one extreme then you become disabled.

You arrive on the planet with a purpose to express valuable qualities like love, compassion, fairness and sensitivity. People typically forget this when they form a social identity during childhood conditioning . They act from their head instead of their heart and from whence comes competition, jealousy, paranoia and judgement.

Take  a holiday from the mind’s self-created prison. Re-experience the joy and direct contact with life. Without the mind’s negative filters the world looks beautiful and you become confident.

My healing method involves conscious, subconscious and invisible methods because the mind is invisible and has a subconscious component. Talking, giving advice, telling stories and jokes is the verbal part of what I do. The invisible part is managed by a powerful healing energy called the Transmission. It has worked miracles in people’s life. You can easily compare it to the Holy Spirit of Jesus’ time. I also show people how they can remove negative emotions and thoughts from their bodies by using their hands. When a person’s awareness moves out of the narrow prison walls of the mind it comes into contact with the realm of intuition from where one simply knows what is right. It’s like knowing where to hit a billiard ball to get all of the other balls to go into the holes. In that state, you quickly see that you only ever have one choice in each and very moment not many. The mind sees many choices and possibilities and this can lead to what I call “analysis paralysis” but the soul sees only one choice. That choice is always the right choice and thus you act always with unshakeable confidence knowing that life could not be any other way.

Dave Oshana
Raising consciousness, ending unhappiness and revealing the hidden dimensions of life is spiritual psychologist Dave Oshana’s mission.  From his lifelong spiritual practices came a huge awakening in 2000, a powerful healing energy, The Transmission, and an unstoppable sense of humour. Oshana’s teachings are practical, experiential and personal. The ultimate result is freedom from fear, deep peace and an effortless way of being. Originally from the UK, Oshana now lives in Finland and teaches internationally and online.

12 Reasons To Attend Every Transmission Event

Do you know “you don’t know what you don’t know”?

As a spiritual teacher it is my mission to extend your awareness to the max.

You may have heard of “Introduction” events within the Oshana Transmission Teaching schedule.

In reality there is no one standard Introduction to this Teaching because everyone encounters the Transmission from a different place in life. You are unique. No-one has the experience which you are having in this moment. This is one reason why your existence is invaluable to God.

Every Oshana Teaching Introduction is specially customised to your needs – even before you arrive in the physical (or online) teaching space.

Here are a list of reasons to attend an Introduction even if you have attended hundreds of Oshana Enlightenment Intensives and Transmission Retreats.

  1. There is no such thing as an Introduction at the level of Transmission, there is only the next step on your spiritual path
  2. Regular exposure to the Transmission keeps you awake, aware and pure
  3. Transmission is like the sun – a little often is better than too much infrequently
  4. All Introduction events are powerful, and feel and sound unique
  5. All Introductions are different because the audience varies
  6. A specific Introduction is designed as a way to prepare for a specific Intensive
  7. You will comfortably absorb and understand more from an Intensive when you have attended the preceding (matching) Introduction
  8. An Introduction allows you to re-experience Transmission because people forget as it is so unimaginable and fantastic
  9. Information given in an Introduction is not given in an Intensive and vice-versa
  10. If someone in an Intensive is not aware of certain basics then the Teaching has to be simplified or the person will not understand the more advanced lessons
  11. There can never be a complete introduction to a fully comprehensive teaching. The Introduction would have to be as long as the entire Teaching which is endless.
  12. You could be enlightened in an Introduction (even your first one)
