It is the best moment of your life. Even so, there is often fear and the fear closes down the glimpse. In the beginning it will just be a glimpse, a flash where the clouds (the structures of the mind) in the blue sky part, and you get a glimpse of the blueness. You feel this very deeply. It is very beautiful but it is not something you can do, it just happens. In that instance the whole sense of separate self disappears.\n<\/p>\nThis is what is really important. The sense of self \u2013 this \u2018me\u2019 that we are so attached to \u2013 disappears. It is a completely shocking moment.\n<\/p>\nIt is tremendously life-changing because once this small moment has happened then you know something that you didn\u2019t know before. You know yourself in a new way, but then the Self we\u2019re talking about is no longer this rather small illusionary self. It is suddenly another Self, the Self, the authentic Self, vast, a feeling of oneness, tremendous love, peace and tremendous connectedness.\n<\/p>After a few seconds, the familiar sense of self \u2013 the usual \u2018me\u2019 \u2013 often returns very quickly. The glimpse in that moment can feel frightening, shocking, completely unexpected, and at the same time magnificent.\n<\/p>\nIf the energy system hasn\u2019t been prepared to handle such an intense surge, it may not be able to absorb it fully and could shut the awakening down\u00a0again.<\/p>\n<div>Likewise, if deep mind patterns or unresolved traumas haven\u2019t been addressed, they can, over time \u2013 whether quickly or gradually \u2013 draw you back into the familiar sense of \u2018me\u2019.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6b3e92e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6b3e92e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" id=\"vijaya\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dd5b3ed elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"dd5b3ed\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:300}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-649c8f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"649c8f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Film: Satori Moments with Vijaya<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6829a2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6829a2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2309\">In my film <em data-start=\"2021\" data-end=\"2060\">Satori Moments with Vijaya<\/em>, we follow Vijaya through a&nbsp;<a style=\"color: black !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/johndavidsatsang.international\/meditation-retreat-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">powerful 16 day retreat <\/a>designed to provoke awakening.

There is no formula, there is no practice. I know a lot of people who have had such an opening, even if it was only for a short moment.<\/p><p>This is what is really important. The sense of self \u2013 this \u2018me\u2019 that we are so attached to \u2013 disappears. It is a completely shocking moment.

Everybody\u2019s needs are different, and so if you have a true teacher, he or she will come to know you and create learning situations from which you can recognise those things that prevent you being free.\u201d<\/em> A real teacher is simply a mirror, pointing you back to yourself. Papaji used to say, <em data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"583\">\u201cThe teacher does nothing but removes what is not you.\u201d<\/em> When you are ready to be utterly honest and to stay present, the

When we live closely together with others who share the same longing for Truth, daily life itself becomes the teaching. The mirrors of spiritual friendship reveal our blind spots, the shared silence deepens presence, and the support of kindred spirits nurtures trust to let go of old defenses. In this field of love and awareness, conditioned patterns naturally dissolve, and what remains is the simple recognition of our true nature \u2013 vast, free, and already
