Personal Update About Five Major Events That Happened in Sri Lanka

After two months in Sri Lanka, I’m back to India. I missed India as I always do, as I consider it to be my mother country.

Five major events happened during my stay in this beautiful island, and I consider my stay there the ‘turning point’. You’ll understand why when you read this post.

Here are the five events that were of major importance during my stay in Sri Lanka.

1. Meeting a Buddhist monk from the same soul group

The first major event was meeting a person from the same soul group. He was the head monk of a remote Buddhist monastery in the mountains. I couldn’t believe that he too learnt Carnatic music, had good skill in painting, and was able to tune into the Universal currents and channel its messages.

He also knew how to heal with Ayurvedic herbs, was interested in stars and planets, and spoke less, but observed more.

He was also surprised to meet someone like him, and he was even more surprised to hear what I had to say, which was coming not from me, but from the common source that’s found within each of us.

Since we all need to help each other to reach higher levels of awareness, I’ve become aware of some of the incorrect information that the head monk probably learnt from altered Buddhist texts. Sometimes it’s easy to miss such false information because of long indoctrination, and it serves as a hindrance to further spiritual progress.

Since he asked for my opinion about his discourse, I had a chance to correct the false information that my intuition picked up on. He spoke of a human body, imperfections of it, and karmas. He held an opinion that the human body is inherently imperfect, but it becomes even more so when a person generates new karmas.

I heard myself responding that it’s true that a human being corrupts his or her body by generating karmas, but the human body was perfect from the very start, and became corrupt when personal will diverged from the One Will of the Creator.

This answer was so unexpected that he for a few minutes didn’t say anything. Though he didn’t accept this view, I saw him thinking deeply.

I also commented on his request to hear my opinion about the unconscious mind, to which I responded that unconscious mind is unconscious because people are unaware of its workings, and it’s important to bring unconscious mind into consciousness, so that two minds (conscious and unconscious) would become one, and duality would end. This also made him think deeply.

When it was time for me to leave his monastery, he asked a few times for me to stay there. I politely refused his offer since I strongly felt that I must leave for India. I guess the reason I felt the need to go to the monastery was for the source to correct a few minor distortions of truth that the monk had. That’s important to correct for every being, especially for those who have many followers seeking for spiritual guidance (because then false information would spread like wildfire, distorting the view of many).

2. Responding to a verbal attack with compassion and love

In the monastery there was another layperson staying – a middle-aged Chinese woman. She was totally focused on getting to the Nirvana stage, and meditated for long hours. Her problem was that her goal was a very selfish one – only to achieve liberation for personal happiness.

She was rude to many people, and was not willing to change her character thinking it’s not important. Yet nobody can achieve liberation, no matter how many hours one meditates, if one doesn’t work on polishing up the character too, as one’s ego must be killed.

I had the ‘pleasure’ to stay for a few nights with her, because it was a festival time, and so the monastery was full of people and no rooms were available. During my stay I noticed many of her sharp edges that prevented her from achieving further light.

One time, when she was meditating and I was typing at the other side of a big room, I heard her sigh, and then, unexpectedly to me, she attacked me verbally with all her force. She cried that I was making too much noise typing, and that she couldn’t focus on her meditation.

Though this was an unexpected verbal blow, I centered myself, and spoke words that came from within in a totally calm manner. I told her that if, after six years of practice, she still is unable to meditate when she hears the slightest noise, she’s doing something wrong. After so many years she should be able to meditate totally undisturbed even in the train station.

This reply was so unexpected to her that she didn’t know what to say. She probably expected me to get angry and shout back at her, and yet I was totally calm. She started denying the validity of my argument, which was, of course, an imbalanced and not right view. And then again it came from within me to say that her energy is very negative, to which she replied that it was my energy which was negative. I didn’t respond in any way to her reply, which made her observe that it’s her, and not me, that’s shouting and channeling low energy.

When she started shouting unreasonable accusations again, I told her that I’m not trying to attack her, but trying to help. I really felt compassion and unconditional love for her. It must be hell to live in such a state of mind that’s always judging and on the defensive. After my last words she could no longer bear the energy of peace, I guess, so she left the room, came back after five minutes and wanted to probably shout again, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she started coughing and couldn’t say a word.

After that day another room freed up and I was transferred there. I don’t know if my encounter with her did any good, but I really hope that it did. I’m very certain that it wasn’t coincidence that I had to spend a few nights with this lady.

This was the first time I could totally center myself when attacked unexpectedly, and channel peace and love to the attacker. It’s a huge achievement, and I’ll be forever grateful for the Divine to be given such grace. I wish to always respond this way to such hurt and lost beings, so that my response would be an opportunity for them to open up to greater light.

3. My real birth-day – the birth of Christ Consciousness

I was doubting for a long time whether I should disclose the third major event that happened in Sri Lanka. It’s a very personal one, and many people will probably misunderstand it. I’ll reveal a bit of what happened, but since this process isn’t finished yet, I cannot write much about it.

Christ consciousness birth is a physical process in which you don’t waste any sacred fluids coming from the brain, they travel down into your navel, form a seed, and travel back to the brain to ‘enlighten’ it – to give it vital nutrients for it to function better. Such seed forms every 29.5 days, and if you manage to continuously save 13 seeds, your brain will be fully illuminated.

I managed to save the seed in June, but I lost the new seed in July, but at least I know that this is for real, and that it’s possible to save it. I may publish my diaries of my efforts, failures and successes and more about this process and the importance of it in a future ebook. But I cannot really guarantee that I will publish the book, or when I would do so, as it’s a process that can take a lifetime, because it’s so tough.

Most people save none of such seeds, because the seed is destroyed whenever blood is disturbed.

To save such a seed, that’s born every month when the moon is in the zodiac sign under which you were born, you must abstain from:

• sex
• sexual thoughts
• romantic thoughts (that lead to sexual thoughts)
• overeating
• alcohol
• anger
• greed
• jealousy

…and anything else that causes your blood to be disturbed. But the sure ‘killers’ of the seed are in the list above.

So my body birth took place in Lithuania, and the Christ consciousness birth – in Sri Lanka, a Buddhist monastery. This was one of the happiest and most shocking moments of my life so far. I struggled for three months to pluck out all such thoughts, and reduce my food intake (most people overeat) in order to save the seed. And I succeeded, with God’s help, because I prayed daily.

Many spiritual books talk about this process with a codified language, including the Bible (however much altered it is), even the Santa Claus story is the symbol of this process, and this book uses plain language to explain it.

4. Sharing everything without reservations

After leaving Buddhist monastery I went to Kandy, which is a nice big city of Sri Lanka – its cultural heart.

There I became aware that during the whole trip my sharing habit reached another level. No longer do I need to hoard anything – I feel pleasure when I have the opportunity to share of my personal belongings or knowledge. When I met fellow travelers, it was so natural for me to give useful advice that really benefited them, and to offer them the food that I had, my caring and support, and unconditional love.

Their happiness was my happiness, and this made me understand on a core level just how upside-down the world is, where people think that getting stuff for oneself creates happiness, and giving something away makes one poorer. It’s the opposite.

5. Meeting a person who got a message during meditation to be given to me

Finally, I met an elderly lady from Spain who was staying in the same hotel in Kandy. The way we met was very interesting.

I was in my hotel room when I heard a conversation taking place right outside my room door. I heard a lady tell to the room boy that she lives in South India. It was such a ‘coincidence’ (since I live in South India too), that I knew I must meet her – there’s a reason why she was right next to my door telling this information.

I finished writing an article in my room, and then went to ask the hotel staff about that lady. When given her room number, I located it and knocked on her door. That’s how our friendship started.

It turned out that she was on a very similar spiritual journey to mine – she was alsocelibate and meditated and prayed daily, and was able to give me important information about some aspects of spirituality. We became such close friends that it was hard to say goodbye, and she went with me to the bus station and waited in the hot sun for a long time for my bus to come which would take me to the airport.

When I was at the airport hotel, far away from her, I got a Watsapp voice message from her. She was meditating and got a message to give to me. She told that now I reached the stage on reaching which I died in my past life in India. That’s why my road has been so easy – it was the recapitulation of my spiritual progress in the past life. She said the stage I’m now at is called ‘Enlightenment’, since I’m fully awake. But it’s not the last stage.

Hearing her voice in the recording sent shivers down my spine, because that voice was impersonal and not hers. And when I heard about having reached enlightenment in my past life I started crying, and crying, and crying. Finally the knowledge held all this time within and beheld only through tiny glimpses, was released to me, and my soul breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew it all the time, I knew why the road was so easy – I’m just remembering the lessons I already learnt the hard way in my past life. That’s why it takes me a  few months to learn what it takes years for some people to do, including the ancient South Indian Bharatanatyam dance, Carnatic singing, forgiveness, non-attachment. That also explains why India is so dear to me – it was the country I lived in the past live(s), but I knew this in my heart already.

I think it’s better to call this stage not Enlightenment, but Full Awakening, since eyes are wide open to what is, yet you’re not fully aligned with the source yet, because you cannot access all knowledge at will. The final stage is Absorption, when you’re completely aligned with the Divine and know God. In between there are still many lessons to learn, and then there comes a definite call to teach, and then people leave everything, travel where God sends them to, and only teach – they forget about themselves completely. They then become perfected tools for the unconditional love and care of the Divine to manifest to human beings.

Conclusion

This stay in Sri Lanka was very meaningful for my spiritual journey. I guess now the stage is approaching where I will be given to learn completely new lessons.

With great joy and expectation I’m looking forward to what the Creator has in store next. I feel totally at peace and very strong, because daily prayers keep me rooted in the source.

I hope this post gave you some new things to think about, and inspired you to happily continue your spiritual journey, as you really never know what wonderful experience or realization from leading a pure life can bring you next.

I’ll leave you with an important piece of advice. Pray and follow the Divine impulsecoming from within, as then you’re totally aligned with the Universe, your life is full of meaning and richness, and you feel deeply peaceful, because you know you’re doing what you’re supposed to do.
