Hi Beloved Friends,
Where to start?!?
It’s almost “Springtime 2012”, and as i write, meditative beings all over this planet are leaving behind the “old fear-based reality”, and are evolving into the energy of consciousness and love of the 5th Dimension. I have NEVER felt so alive, radiant, grateful, and full of wonder… Anasha and i are totally enjoying 2012 ~ on the inside and on the outside. We hope you are also feeling an inner shift of joy and the awakening of subtle energies.
There’s so so many positive things to share with you… in the coming days, i will be bringing you all up to date, as well as letting you know about the incredible gatherings we have planned for the magical 2012. {one hint~ meditative Advanced ARUN journey in the sacred valley of longevity in Vilcabamba, Ecuador this August!}.
But the special news of the moment is that we are about to begin our ARUN Conscious Touch Springtime World-wide Meditation Experience. It will include “Buddha Bones/ Buddha Eye & Green Juice Cleanse”. We will share and explore together many movement awareness, breathing, conscious touching, and meditative methods that will enhance our health, flexibility, sense of your own electro-magnetism, expand your love of the Human Body, and deepen our meditation. As with our other ARUN Intensives, it will be a total immersion of our body, mind, heart, and spirit. Please answer this mail in the next 3 days to let us if you want to be part of this. Last year, we were over 200 friends world-wide… this year promises to be many more! In the link below, you can access our ARUN Blog to refresh yourself of what we shared last year. Have a look…

Osho: Witnessing is the Beginning, No-Mind is the Fulfillment
How does watching lead to no-mind? I am more and more able to watch my body, my thoughts and feelings and this feels beautiful. But moments of no thoughts are few and far between. When I hear you saying “Meditation is witnessing,” I feel I understand. But when you talk about no-mind, it doesn’t sound easy at all. Would you please comment?
Prem Anubuddha, meditation covers a very long pilgrimage. When I say “meditation is witnessing”, it is the beginning of meditation. And when I say “meditation is no-mind,” it is the completion of the pilgrimage. Witnessing is the beginning, and no-mind is the fulfillment. Witnessing is the method to reach the no-mind. Naturally you will feel witnessing is easier. It is close to you.
But witnessing is only like seeds, and then is the long waiting period; not only waiting, but trusting that this seed is going to sprout, that it is going to become a bush; that one day the spring will come and the bush will have flowers. No-mind is the last stage of flowering.
Sowing the seed is of course very easy; it is within your hands. But bringing the flowers is beyond you. You can prepare the whole ground, but the flowers will come on their own accord; you cannot manage to force them to come. The spring is beyond your reach – but if your preparation is perfect, spring comes; that is absolutely guaranteed.
It is perfectly good, the way you are moving. Witnessing is the path and you are starting to feel once in a while a thoughtless moment. These are glimpses of no-mind… but just for a moment.
Remember one fundamental law: that which can exist just for a moment can also become eternal. You are given not two moments together, but always one moment. And if you can transform one moment into a thoughtless state, you are learning the secret. Then there is no hindrance, no reason why you cannot change the second moment, which will also come alone, with the same potential and the same capacity.
If you know the secret, you have the master key which can open every moment into a glimpse of no-mind. No-mind is the final stage, when mind disappears forever and the thoughtless gap becomes your intrinsic reality. If these few glimpses are coming, they show you are on the right path and you are using the right method.
But don’t be impatient. Existence needs immense patience. The ultimate mysteries are opened only to those who have immense patience.
