Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity
Grateful For My Teacher (45 min)
•
With the very best teachers, just being around them feels good. And even reading a true master’s words, when those words are truly understood (or, to use the words of the Diamond Sutra, are “received and retained”) will put you in the frequency of happiness and love. But 'receiving and retaining' a master’s teaching isn’t a straightforward exercise. Which is part of why this podcast exists: to help you receive and retain and understand and experience the teaching of the illuminated ones of bygone eras. And one of the gateways we can use to “receive and retain” their teachings is the magic potion called gratitude. We all have teachers. Some are ancient masters who have long been dead. Some are with us today. Some we know well, some we’ve never met. Some don’t even know they are our teachers (any parent of a small child or a teenager can attest to that!). Our teachers hold a special place in our development as people and on our path to self-mastery. So today we are going to thank them. And because of gratitude’s special power, we will be able to use this meditation to activate their teaching within you again right now, and extend their teaching to new levels. So join me now, drink the draught of gratitude and let your teachers help you experience the illumination they talk so much about. NOTE: This is a 45 minute version of the Grateful for my teacher mediation.

59:58|In the second verse of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, it is written: "As above, so below". The physical world follows a rational, beautiful logic, and human beings for some mysterious reason can tune in to it. Even more mysteriously, as the quote from the Hermetic writings suggest, this beautiful logic mirrors the higher dimensions of consciousness. And this echo is one key we can use to unlock access to unified consciousness. The 'beautiful logic' explored in this meditation is that of the four elements that constitute the building blocks of the physical world. In this meditation you will learn how to tune in to the harmony underlying these building blocks of reality. And by synching up with the harmony of the sacred number four, you have the possibility of transcending numbers, the elements and physical reality altogether, opening the gateway to all the power of the universe flowing effortlessly through your human form.Four Elements 🔥⛰️ 🌬️ 🌊 Breath (30 min)

01:00:03|A wise master once explained to me that the secret to a happy life was simply to let go of all negative or limiting thoughts or emotions. If you can do that all you have to do is sit back and watch your good arrive. 'Why does it work, what is the foundation, what is the key?', I asked him. "The key is that there is already an underlying perfection. By letting go of all negative or limiting thoughts you get out of the way and allow that perfection to manifest unimpeded." A cynic might say we are simply tricking our brain to believe something that isn’t true. But if it works, does it matter? Try it out and decide for yourself.
