Fully Comprehensive Spirituality: Transmission Included

Dear Seekers,

Warm greetings at this dark, white, time of year.

The purpose of all my teaching events is spiritual restoration. You can think of it as “healing” but it is much more than that.

The meetings are tailored to the energetic needs of the participants by an all-important energy: The Transmission.

The Transmission is immensely wise. It caters to a person’s spiritual needs, creates freedom from ego and accelerates spiritual growth and development.

The Transmission cleans the energy body and opens the psychic senses. You will notice that chronic emotional issues and obsessive thoughts simply vanish.

However, this spiritual work, although easy in the sense that much of it is done by The Transmission and not by you (how can you do what you don’t know how to do?) does require your ability to accept fundamental changes in your life. You will perceive differently, think differently and live differently.

Transmission is the most important part of my work, but there is also a body of practical knowledge. The basics can be learned quickly, and if sincerely practiced lead to powerful life changes.

I say that the Teaching is “Fully Comprehensive Spirituality” meaning that it covers all areas of human life and Existence.

An important set of techniques are taught in the Oshana Energy-Work Method. Through this Method you can clear many psychological and emotional blockages and re-connect to the Earth and Heavens. Once your inner senses re-open you will understand the lifestyle advice which I give to protect your growth and development. This is especially important in the modern world.

Finally, to be a spiritual human being is to serve others. The aim of all this teaching is to know who you are, why you cam here and what you have to do. I call that “Enlightenment”.

Everyone who wants to attend a 1-day Deeper Understanding Intensive should attend a recent Introduction as a preparation. I also invite potential participants to email me some details about their spiritual search as part of the teaching process.

Overseas Intensives consist of a guided meditation, energy-work and a lecture with time for questions and answers.

I will continue teaching in Finland this year. I will add to my schedule areas of social life that need to be spiritually addressed including: natural childbirth, breastfeeding, mothering, education and partnership.

Are you ready?

May all beings be free in 2008!

I Don’t Have Students

I avoid the expression “my students” wherever possible. Ideally, the word “student” would disappear from my “teaching” (ha ha) vocabulary. The truth is that I don’t have students because Truth cannot be studied.

Being described as a “teacher” further complicates the matter but this is because tax officers demand that I fit into a category which does not exist and search engines are designed to index words but not Transmission. (If you think that you don’t know what Transmission is then you have an amazing discovery to make.)

So who are these people attending my “classes” and “courses”? Hopefully, they will eventually discover that “people” they are not.

At night the moths gather around the candle-flame, immolate, incandesce and go beyond form. The flame is The Transmission. The moths are actually fireflies who believe they are butterflies when in fact they are brilliant lights.

I don’t teach. I don’t do anything except hold the space. The Transmission reveals to you what might be considered “teaching” but it is only teaching to those who do not know it. Only those who consider themselves students believe that they require teaching.

Distributing More Enlightenment Transmission Teaching

Dear Seeker,

I am constantly amazed by the Oshana Enlightenment Transmission Teaching.

7 years ago, before my Enlightenment Day on 19th June 2000, there was no Teaching – there was only Transmission. Even the concept of Transmission did not exist. There were only the results – unimaginably fantastic results.

The Transmission started flowing from the very moment that I got enlightened. The actual Teaching started flowing when the first students appeared (and that was very fast). The Transmission flows continuously, day and night, reaching students near and far. It is truly breathtaking to experience and witness its great intelligence and works.

Transmission brings spiritual growth, healing and purification to the recipient. Transmission also creates the Teaching from which knowledge and understanding arise. The ultimate aim of Transmission is self-realisation for individuals and healing for the human race.

The Teaching corrects misunderstandings about the Enlightenment process. Without Teaching there is no map. Without a map there is only misdirection. When, and if, awakening happens a person without a map becomes bewildered, even crazy.

Less than 0.01% of Oshana Enlightenment Transmission Teaching ever makes it into print. Consequently, a casual visitor to the Oshana Teaching web-sites never understands the full meaning and absolute value of the Transmission Teaching. I am quite certain that even the most convinced and committed students have not yet realised the comprehensive purpose of the Teaching.

The human mind cannot instantly comprehend the Truth, but the essence of the soul can. Eventually the mind becomes enlightened. The mind’s teacher is the soul, which channels Transmission.

My aim is to distribute the Enlightenment Transmission Teaching to a much wider audience. Until now the Teaching has been known only to those fortunate enough to group events and one-to-ones. Now with the help of those students the Teaching will go out to the public. It is clear that teaching and guidance must be made widely available to reverse the destructive trends within human society.

Seekers who have read only my latest blog posts may wonder “where is the spiritual enlightenment in discussing such a terrible thing as the recent school massacre in Finland”? Or those who read about Jesus and The Transmission might wonder “Is Oshana mixing metaphors”? I can assure you that there is the same spirituality in all these concerns – there just has not been the time to explain it online. Almost nothing has been explained fully to the public. But, now with the help of committed students that situation can be rectified.

My UK coordinator, suggested that a post from our Finnish list, Enlightenment-Finland, be distrubuted more widely. Consequently, the post has been pasted (with a few explanations about Finnish language) on my blog as ” To Be Good One Must Do Good” at http://blog.oshana.org/to-be-good-one-must-do-good/

I trust that such posts on my blog Spiritual Enlightenment are the first steps in making the Teaching more accessible.

There will also be distance learning for overseas students meaning “live online classrooms”. The first class was a few days ago. If you are interested in the next class (Jan 2008) then please pre-register by email.

Wishing All Life Abundant Blessings Through The Transmission,

To Be Good One Must Do Good

As promised in the previous blog post Jesus’ Path – Increasing The Good Works I have pasted below one of those frequent, special messages sent to my Finnish students which English speakers seldom get to see. However, it is becoming clear to me that what people need today in this age of degraded understanding is clear unambiguous, unconfused spiritual teaching. Therefore, I will increase the efforts to distribute the Enlightenment Transmission Teaching to a wider audience far beyond the limited amount who are fortunate enough to attend classes in person.

Dear Seeker,

To be good one must do good.

An enlightened person has to share all good things with everyone. A person who wants to become enlightened has to start sharing to become worthy of enlightenment.

We remember Jesus at Christmas not because he was good but because he did good. Jesus encouraged his students to do good. He prayed for them when they had difficulties in expressing absolute goodness.

I sometimes hope that if my students can no longer access me, or the Transmission, that they can at least access Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They are all the same.

Nearly all of you, I am sure, have been through the rippileiri (lit. Confirmation Camp) coming of age rite of passage. Did you know that it is an initiation? In that act of initiation you have made a promise in front of your family and community, and to God, to be with Jesus. I wondered if the meaning was lost so I checked with evl.fi (Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland). There I found this important statement “During the Confirmation ceremony the person being confirmed commits to being a disciple of Jesus by joining in the creed.”

The good news is that Jesus has a connection to you. He will wait for you as long as it takes, even during the times when you turn your back on him. God waits, the Universe waits, your true self – all await the homecoming of you – when you become who you truly are.

Jesus is just the beginning. I am not teaching a path of dependency but co-operative harmonious independence. Jesus asked his disciples to go on and do even greater things than He. You can only do that by finding your own God given powers. I teach that every child born brings special gifts and powers to this planet, not for themselves, but in service of the good of the whole. If you can live like that you will know Enlightenment and more. Heaven will open up and teach you many things which others will consider mysteries and miracles.

The unfortunate aspect of the rippileiri in Finland today is that thousands of children every year are pressured in to making a false commitment to Christ. The pressures, ironically, are materialistic: presents, money, tradition, peer pressure and family expectations. It is truly heartbreaking that children are encouraged into a situation where they end up lying to God. If this touches a raw nerve for Finns then I apologise but I cannot change the way I feel about it. Participation in the ceremony is often an act of hypocrisy and not one of faith.

If a child truly commits to Jesus then fair enough, let no man rent them asunder. A child has that right. However society does not consider a 15 year old child old enough to decide their own life or even to sign on a contract.

If parents want to celebrate their child’s coming of age, and if the child is not interested in Jesus or the modern day church, then an alternative party should be arranged to save the child from making a false promise to God. The next promise the child will make on a church altar will probably be the marriage vows. Let’s teach the sacred importance of keeping holy promises.

I wrote this email intending to inform you about the upcoming Jesus Christmas Intensive on Thursday 6th December 2007, Jesus’ Sending Out The 72 In The Spirit of Transmission during the Independence Day holiday.

However, my attention has been directed by recent events to Finnish society. A team of 10 students in cooperation with the Tuusula community arranged the first and only public discussion about solutions for preventing another Jokela tragedy. Although the event venue was cancelled at the last minute by Tuusula kunta (municipality), the message of hope reached all of Finland via the Finnish media and was followed by offers of help and support. My energy has been with supporting the organising team. As I stated at the beginning: to be good is to do good. Transmission and God’s love goes most strongly to those who dare to care. (It also goes to the growing number of Oshana Energy-Work teachers who give their time to help others.)

It was my intention for this season to be more free to do other projects and I did, they just were not imaginable: Tallinn, Seoul, Tuusula and finally a wedding! Two Oshana students “tied the knot”, i.e. got married. I happily gave the wedding party speech about spiritual marriage and family. These will be hot topics in 2008.

And so, purpose of this email (the first shall be the last, as Jesus said) Jesus’ Sending Out The 72 In The Spirit of Transmission. Basically, Jesus was not working alone. He was working under the instruction of the Transmission, the Holy Spirit. The Transmission did not expect Jesus to work alone. Jesus chose 12 and then 72 disciples. Jesus pointed out that these disciples were to follow the Holy Spirit and do greater deeds than Him.

If you want to to have an extra special feeling, and a meaningful message, this Christmas then please contact OshanaOffice Finland.

Does Buddha Wear Harmony Hairspray?

I was recently asked a question that has been doing the rounds for at least a decade. Sort of like a chain letter with 21 sayings allegedly by the Dalai Lama which ends with the warning “if you don’t send this letter on to 10 friends then you will die, horribly and painfully”. If you get one of these emails then you have to wonder if the sender is really a true friend.

The question was something like “Some people suggest that after Enlightenment there is no person, but you seem to talk as if there is a person. So is there a person? What is your experience of Enlightenment?”

The last question is also a trick question thrown in at the end of a whole load of conceptual confusion. Supposedly if you are enlightened then you can’t talk about it because if you do then you lose your enlightened status. Voi helvetti! (Expletive known by only 5 million people of which I am not one)

There are encampments of believers, I think they call themselves, non-dualists, who seem to believe that by attacking the richness of the English language that they will be rewarded with Nirvana.

This is all very complicated to dissect. I agree with so much that they say, up to a point, and then no further – and even less with what they do in their spare time.

I think the non-dualists are flogging a dead horse. The alarming tendency today is that the non-dualist ideology today is not being wielded by gentlemen of skillful means, as it used to be, but by fanatics who find their life’s meaning in shouting down all no-believers. I believe that England and America are in their darkest hour as a new wave of extremists has hit their shores: the non-dualists.

The non-dualists go by various names: advaitics, advaitists, neo-advaitists, Brother of the Open Secret Tea and Biscuits club, Satsang Federation and Bums on Seats. Some of those names are currently only whispered in hushed tones in certain inner circles because the non-dualists know that they are still in the minority. But their grass roots movement is growing, especially in Germany and parts of America.

Any philosophy can be abused and used to support wrong-doing. Non-dualism has that potential. The non-dual mafia will excuse their crimes thus “there was no-one there, no victim, no criminal, nothing ever happened”. Hopefully, the non-dualists don’t penetrate as far as the House of Lords and the Court for Human Rights.

Enlightenment is not an external thing. An enlightened person does not have to talk a certain way. What you might reasonably expect though is that they know what they are talking about.

Communication is about reaching people. Chopping sentences to fit a non-dualist Procrustean bed severely cripples the richness of the English language. As my words are frequently translated I generally speak as clearly as possible for the sake of my translator and audience. I only let loose my full verbal range when I am back in London.

Enlightenment teachers cannot be judged just on the basis of their words. I like to talk. I like language. I have to like it because I use it. However, it is becoming clearer to me that that the Enlightenment Transmission can be spread through a variety of expressions. This is especially possible because the Teaching is primarily energetic with a only a small component being verbal.

The only way to reply to a non-dualist is to ask an inscrutable koan “Does Buddha Wear Harmony Hairspray?”

The koan is based on a British TV hairspray advert: Harmony Hairspray. Wherein a walking woman with long bouncy hair turns the heads of everyone she confidently passes to the refrain of “Is she….or isn’t she….?” which expands to “Is she or isn’t she wearing Harmony hairspray?”

Of course, no one can be certain. She might just have naturally healthy hair (she is after all a professional model) . The answer comes in the final frame – in her handbag we glimpse a can of… … which I can only describe as some sort of CFC and vaporised gluey globules combination.

In the Buddha’s time the non-dualists would have sat on the side-lines with scorecards. Every time Siddhartha uttered the word Enlightenment they would have downgraded him. Eventually, of course, Buddha’s negative scores would be less than everyone else’s because he loves talking about Enlightenment!

Enlightenment can be known. You might not know if someone is enlightened for sure, but that’s not the point. The live issue is how close can they get you to a state of self-realisation with the assistance of that person.

Fortunately, in my own life as a teacher, the Transmission takes care of others. It brings purification, energy, purpose, direction, many wonderful, mysterious and miraculous things.
