“How can I know that I am living my life through my ego or by my Self?
How can I know that it is my Self, not my mind, that commands me?”
My Response:
When you live from your higher self, you are living in the present, from an open, easy state of awareness.
That means your life is not constricted by the past, nor anxious about the future.
Life lived from the true self flows effortlessly, with simplicity and without defensiveness.
Love,
Deepak

The Upanishads declare we are never born and yet reconcile this with the notion of reincarnation. What is the reasoning behind this?

The essence of your spirit is pure knowing and the immeasurable potential of all that was, is, and will be. The key to so-called supernormal experiences is to introduce subtle intention at the source of all knowing.

“Last month, I lost my beloved mom.
I`ve been through a complex process, as I witnessed her conscious process of dying for 10 days, being respectful of her choice of leaving this material world, although it hurt me immensely.
I`ve been studying and meditating for many years, and this has helped me understand what happened, with my mind and my Self.
Nevertheless, I still feel a very deep connection with her and it makes me feel very sad that she is not here.
Although I know this one talking is my ego, I can’t avoid feeling devastated sometimes.
I go back to desiring her to be here.
I also feel there`s nothing else in this world for me, as if I just started the way back to the origin, and as if I am pulled back, static.
Is continuing in my spiritual path the way to my internal peace?
What do I have to understand and make my wisdom?”
Response:
The loss of one’s mother is a major life transition, especially when the relationship has been so close, loving, and meaningful.
Don’t think that you need to rush the grieving process or find a short spiritual process that will bring you to peace.
This healing process is your spiritual path right now.
You are in the middle of transferring the love, wisdom, and feelings you felt toward your mother into a presence within you that you can always access and be with and eventually incorporate into your larger Being.
Be kind and gentle with yourself as you find your way along this journey.
There will be tears, smiles, emptiness, and even episodes of expansive joy as you come to a place of peace and healing.
You don’t need to rush the process, just take care of yourself and allow your heart to open up to love as much as it can.
Love,
Deepak

“I have been meditating for the past 45 days.
I only concentrate on my third eye.
I do it for 30 minutes every day.
The new thing that I observed is that I have started remembering my dreams, almost all.
I have only had one or two intuitive feelings which became true later.
I also feel a tingling sensation/pain in my third eye area every time I meditate.
I would like to know, 1) Am I progressing? 2) Is this tingling feeling good? 3) What else can I experience and when? 4) Is my third eye awakened?”
Response:
I can’t speak authoritatively to your question without knowing the details of what your exact meditation practice is.
In general, the tingling in the lower center area of the forehead is considered an initial sign of progress.
But it is such a well-known symptom to practitioners that auto-suggestion can complicate the issue.
I think it’s fair to say that the Ajna chakra is not yet fully awakened.
That experience is traditionally described as a self-effulgent light of consciousness that expands individual intelligence into universal intelligence.
Having said that, I have always advocated holistic spiritual practices that develop all aspects of the mind, body, and spirit simultaneously, rather than techniques that focus on one particular spiritual ability.
The holistic approach has the advantage that it is guided by the wisdom of our higher self rather than our small self.
Our higher self knows what areas of our being need transformation, growth, or healing at what time and in what way because it is aligned with universal intelligence.
Our small self’s vision and motivation is limited to our current life circumstances and frustrations and not necessarily with a vision of our highest purpose and needs.
Love,
Deepak

“How do you make an intention?
Is it like a wish, something like ‘I wish this thing happens in my life?’
How do you do it?”
Response:
Intentions are simply awareness tools to direct creative attention for spiritual growth.
You can start by stating your desire for what you want in your life.
Be open to noticing more universal and more selfless desires underneath your desires.
Those intentions are even more powerful.
You will start to see how as your spiritual growth creates a better life for you, it will effortlessly create a better life for all those around you.
Love,
Deepak

“I have been doing one of your 21-day meditations.
I also have practiced a form of mediation for 9 years called knowledge which is for techniques that help me go inside.
It has always made me feel quite anchored and relaxed but not entirely fulfilled.
Your mediation is very different.
I am on day 8.
Day 7 was amazing, I released a lot of emotion and felt utterly grateful.
Today was very relaxing.
Towards the end, I felt like I was falling and rocking internally.
Although the sensation was pleasant I was scared of letting go- of losing control in some way- fearful.
I have been suffering from anxiety for around 6 months and maybe this is impacting me as I feel quite fearful.
Is this normal? I really want to find inner peace and experience my true, graceful self.”
Response:
During meditation, we may experience a deep level of silence that then allows some held tensions to be released.
Sometimes this feels relaxing, and at other times it may cause the mind to contract in fear that it is happening too fast.
That was your experience of being afraid to let go or lose control.
Your inner self is the source of all security.
It’s always safe to be more deeply established in your true self.
Knowing that and recognizing that this fearful thought has come up only as a result of a release of old conditioning, you can simply return to the meditation assured that your higher self has everything well in hand and is guiding your progress exactly as it needs to unfold.
Love,
Deepak

“When I read a related book or take part in your group meditation I seem to reach a point where I feel that I have grasped ‘it’.
I feel that I’m almost there, almost free but connected but then when back to my life the feeling drifts away some.
I live in England and I would like to meet some like-minded people who share your teaching and therefore, help each other to stay in reality, here and now, in gratitude.
Deepak, can you connect us up?
I am getting older and have been struggling to find the freedom of spirituality and my reality.
I feel on the edge and can almost feel my freedom.”
Response:
When we have deep spiritual insight or inspiration we might feel if we could just nudge it a bit further or intellectually reinforce it, we could cement that state of awareness or reality and make it permanent.
But that’s only partially true.
Connecting with like-minded people and situations that support and cultivate open awareness will make you more familiar with your real nature.
But when we attempt to achieve this state of awakening as a kind of mental project that we will attain through effort in the future, we are subtly rejecting the present state of awareness and the situation we are living right now.
This presence of awareness — what we are experiencing right now — is our true self.
This quiet awareness in the background of all our thoughts and feelings is the self-awareness that our spiritual inspiration has glimpsed.
We don’t need to be in different circumstances or go to a time in the future to have that, we only need to relax and settle into that presence which is always right here.
If you want more people around who can help remind you of this truth, simply desire that and Nature will organize situations and open pathways that will support your intention.
Love,
Deepak
