Releasing the Ego’s Grip

Dave Oshana gives practical suggestions to deal with the biggest continual problem in your life: your ego.

Watch out! Here comes the biggest challenge of your spiritual life. Huh! What’s that? Laziness, fear, doubt, meditator’s knee, the Catholic nun who taught you? No, not even close. It’s The Ego!

The Ego gets blamed for everything even the kitchen sink, if not at first, then inevitably in the end. The word “ego” is used on in common language, psychology, psychotherapy and spirituality. Wherever you look you find different definitions but generally the consensus opinion is that the ego is not good, bad, nasty, contaminating and reason for quick shower. But few people can find, let alone shake it off.

The Oshana Teaching makes it simple by taking aim at what you can identify: the problems in your life and by tracing them back to their causes dealing with the issue at source. So we are always dealing with what is real which makes our actions practical. Most common ideas about the ego are theoretical and the methods impossible to practice.

In the Oshana Teaching the ego’s influence is identified, traced and resolved.

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.

Without Hesitation: Mission Tools To Fulfil Your Destiny

Did you ever feel that something could be so exciting that you might not be able to contain the energy?

Every time I start to write a “Welcome to the Island Retreat Orientation” it feels like I might explode with excitement. Visions and possibilities for the participant’s development rush towards me. I cannot write about it all. On the Retreat the Teaching makes it clearer.

These Retreats have the potential to take you very fast and very far from where you are. The first question in my mind is can you handle the change, the awakenings and realisations? That’s why you have a teacher – to protect you from opening too fast, because if you did, you might shy away from ever opening up again.

The Transmission is very pure and effective but a person whose ego does not want to change can only cope with small, gradual amounts.

Ultimately, when you no longer cling to anything, then the Transmission can move you anywhere, instantly. As the Transmission is your own Self then you become one with your Self.

Every retreat reveals your hidden potentials and practical ways to handle the energies of life. The theme for this retreat is uncovering internal resistances to fulfilling your life purpose. This work is initially psychological because it it involves the mind and psyche. Since we use them daily this is an unavoidable work.

Of course, as ever, there will be a lot more information, activities and experiences to support this work. Transmission always provides as you have certainly learned from past experience.

Without Hesitation: Mission Tools To Fulfil Your Destiny

Doing IT Spiritual Style

The best write-ups of my teaching are tucked away in the events section. There you will find uncensored descriptions of spiritual meetings which give a flavour of what it’s like to be in my class. Rarely a dull moment, lots of laughs and sometimes a few tears – and we keep our clothes on (except in the sauna). Not that that any of that has anything to do with getting IT but then a lot of time is spent contemplating another kind of IT. Well, that’s a whole new post in itself.

Pasted below is the text for the upcoming Successful Love, Sex and Marriage which is part of my Life Mastery Series.

While not the top of most spiritual seeker’s agendas, especially for monks and nuns, love and sex holds top position on many people’s happiness wish lists. Food would hold a higher place in the survival stakes and is often integrated into the romantic love package as an aphrodisiacal entrée. Witness, chocolate, it’s everywhere in all it’s various forms.

Since most of you are going be doing IT, i.e. sex, before getting IT, i.e. enlightenment, self-realisation – it makes sense to begin to understand what sex and romance are all about and then decide how far one wants to go along that Shangri-La road. It’s like with food – you don’t want to stay with Pot Noodle forever, you want to give your taste buds a run and treat your stomach with kindness and respect.

What this lecture is not is a technical how-to-do IT type of Joy of Sex manual. It’s not about finding the G-Spot or any other “aha” spot but the point is to get why you do the sweaty dance of the hump-backed whale – it’s not exactly the stuff of Strictly Come Dancing or on second thoughts maybe it literally is that. If it was only about orgasm then I am sure that more convenient methods are on offer rather than the sort of stuff that brings President’s to their knees (but not their candidacies).

So love and sex are there for a purpose just like the breakfast smorgasbord buffet on the overnight boat to Sweden. But how to get in and out, make the right moves and choices and avoid ending up standing alone, broken hearted and frustrated with the drunks at the harbour taxi rank when the love boat comes into port?

There is a deep energetic purpose to love and sex. Succeed at it and at least you will have one less thing to get right.

The Universe’s Best Kept Secret

Life-Force Energy Healing Transmissions
Oshana Classes

Dear Seeker,

We live in exciting times. So many abundant spiritual blessings are available.

I feel graced to be able to share this amazing teaching with you. I am constantly surprised by it’s breadth and depth. I call it The World’s Best Kept Secret because it has only been available to very few in recent times.

Last Saturday, I taught a Conscious Cooking class. Food is medicine. Cooking is love. Typically, it went longer than planned, so many recipes came through, and everyone’s stomach was filled with delicious food. I didn’t try the food until I finished the class, as is my way, and I was overwhelmed and breathless at how the tastes have come together. If your mouth is watering, sorry but we don’t know when the next cooking class is. If I was not a spiritual teacher than I would be a very special chef, but life has not happened that way. I trust you can benefit many times more by the fact that I bring the deepest spiritual truths to you in a way that you completely understand without even breaking a sweat.

What gifts await you this week?

Tomorrow, I teach one of the most important subjects that you will ever hear. It’s The Story of You, the hopes, the dreams and the desires and what happened to that life as I lovingly lecture on “Thou Shalt Not Hinder: Empowering Your Child’s Full Potential“. Whether you are a parent or not this lecture has something profound and deep for you. It is infinitely more than just a talk, it is an experiential journey into who you were and who you will be.

This Saturday, I have a wonderful gift The Simplest, Deepest Relaxation Ever. What a boast, because it is true! It’s wonderful because the LifeForce Healing Energy, (The Transmission) gives you everything you need to meditate as deep as you ever will be able. To think that I spent years breaking my back holding myself in all sorts of unusual position when the solution was so simple. You are truly blessed and lucky. This is The Biggest Secret.

The ecstasy never stops – Sunday is the next online class called the “Live Transmission” because it is just that, the mysterious LifeForce Healing Energy touches everyone who listens. I am amazed at how powerfully people are being affected. Their awareness travels far away from their body and mind and does not until the end of the class. Where does it go? You can find out for yourself. Another great secret.

And then there are my free PODcasts which you can listen from your own browser. You just have to register to get these free gift. I will make another PODcast this week. What have you got to lose? No-thing, nothing – ever – only massive gains spiritually for you.

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)

Total Happiness In An Age Of Uncertainty

Happiness is essential to human life. Without happiness mankind is set on a path to self-destruction. The results of unhappiness have been suicide, genocide, murder and act of destructions. An unhappy person is slowly dying inside.

No-one sets out to be unhappy in life. The result is forced upon a person by inhumane (unenlightened) treatment which will damage the human psyche. This creates a host of psycho-pathologies such as: chronic depression, paralysing inhibitions, low self- esteem, self-deceit, self-abuse, uncontrollable emotions and the splitting of the psyche.

When a person enters a pervasive state of fear, anxiety or dread then their psycho-immune system runs down. Consequently, they are unable to focus, plan or manifest. From the viewpoint of the Oshana Teaching Framework, they have lost their capacity for full awareness, energy and self-directiveness.

A person in such a state is vulnerable. Inevitably he/she gets used by others in ways which are contrary to his or her true nature. Self-loathing and fear result. Finally, the person becomes apathetic and cynical as all his attempts to improve his life meet with failure, rejection or misdirection. A person in this state is unable to meet their real (spiritual, emotional) needs and starts to prematurely shrivel up and die. Be aware: tragically, this process starts at a very young age.

Unhappiness has permeated to the core of this society because it values and rewards acts of unnecessary destruction and brutality to others and nature.

But there is hope. Fortunately, happiness does not depend on external circumstances but instead on an internal relationship. How you feel about yourself is essential. But positive thinking is not deep enough. Attempting to change your mental attitude is superficial and temporary. You will only feel completely good about yourself when you have no beliefs about yourself in the deepest layer of your mind.

It’s amazing how much time people spend on trying to make them self feel good via external means and fail. The average lifestyle, which depends heavily on self-medicating (via drink, drugs and distraction) is painful testimony to the inner bitterness that many people feel. People either bite their tongues or they bite other humans. Unfortunately, a growing number of people are obsessed with hurting others through watching violent amateur movies on YourTube and video games involving killing and rape.

The only medicine is happiness. The means and the goal to finding it are internal. Existing inside you is an unlimited spring of happiness. You were cut off from it at an early age. You can find that secret spring of joy and turn it into a waterfall.

The first lecture in the Life Mastery Lecture Series Total Happiness In An Age Of Uncertainty focuses on your happiness. Subsequent lectures will focus on the happiness of your partners, babies, children and eventually the whole planet.

I Am Bringing Something Special To Your Country

Dear Seeker,

Can I call you a “seeker”? What is it you seek?

I think everyone is seeking happiness, but a spiritual seeker is one who has realised that long-lasting happiness does not lay in the trinkets promoted by society, such as, fame, fortune and power.

Jesus asked “What profiteth a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?” The answer is “nothing”. It’s a piece of skillful rhetoric. If only the whole of humanity could realise the futility of chasing temporary illusions. Until they do, responsibility for this world is yours. If not you, then who?

First of all, wake up to your true purpose. Do not dream, suppose, assume or speculate but find the Truth and you will have found the Truth of Existence.

I am coming to your country to teach again. Nothing can stop me.

It took 500 years for the Buddha’s teaching to be written as scripture. Only then could the teaching be transported to influence China, Tibet, Japan, Korea and many other Far East countries.

I am bringing something special to your country. An energy. The Enlightenment Transmission. It can easily bring Awakening with no effort. This proven to be true in nearly every case, but Awakening is not Enlightenment. Awakening is glimpse of Reality. It is to get you started.

The Transmission is moving. Move with it. You will be rewarded with spiritual riches beyond imagination.

May all beings be free in 2008!

Dave Oshana
