A Transition in Consciousness: Sat Shree’s 2023 New Year Message
[Listen to the full talk from January 1, 2023] "We are becoming a Universal Being who is being seen. We have entered into a new paradigm of possibility as a species. And the whole world is waking up to it. The whole world is in the throes of a transition. But I am...
The Transformation of the Vital
We’re not just us in this battlefield, but we we are the principles, we are the individual expressions of what separates humanity from their divine nature. But not even that. What separates humanity from a possibility of a future that, right now, unless we wake up, will not be anything we would want ever for anyone.
The Future Humanity
"Every human being is an expression, a container, for all that has ever happened, that is happening and that will happen." I’m quite excited. I can feel a very large force behind me today. It’s been building for a few days. I recognize that there is a time…these times...
The Evolution of Psychology & Spirituality
"The best of psychology has integrated spirituality. You'll soon see that spirituality will integrate the best of psychology and it will become this joint venture." I’m wondering if you could clarify the connection between scriptural approaches to controlling or...
State of the World
"All transitions are by design a battle between the old and the new that is yet to come. All that was hidden in the old is now coming to the surface to be seen so that the new can reorganize itself on this unmet aspect that has been suppressed or not fully...
Stages of Meditation
"True meditation is not a practice or a mantra or a chant. It is the turning of your attention inward on that which is your awareness, on that what you are." India always requires a higher volume in order to be heard. We come to India for silence and stillness and...
The Coronavirus: the Peril and the Purpose
"We can break out of our little self and its conditioned habits of being and living. We can align ourselves with our divine nature, our universal Self and see this Peril clearly and equally recognize the purpose that it is calling us to align with." We are in the...
The Yoga of Finding
"Your work is to prepare the vessel so when spiritual experiences come you can hold them. Yoga is a conscious organization of your life; a mental, emotional, and physical purification; simplifying; losing what you thought would bring happiness. By living ethically and...
What’s Important
"So the spiritual path is really beginning to discriminate, to sort out what's geeta and what's not geeta. What's real and what's not real. How you feel, what your mood is, what your belief is, what the fear says, the story it creates, the rules it creates. The whole...
Capacity of Choice
"All the time I'm in this enthralled, wondrous vision; in the whole universe, and it's brilliant, it's alive, it's real. No veil, no spacesuit, no spaceship. Totally right here, right now. No boundary, no separation; just me and the infinite potential of existence."...
Childhood’s End
The spiritual path has developmental stages. It’s very comparable to what we go through as human beings when we start as a child, we go around and we put things in our mouth and it’s sweet and we keep those things. And we put things in our mouth that are bitter and we spit those out.
Individual to Universal
It’s actually a doorway…a glimmer…into our condition at the state of the universal. This sense of oneness and vastness, yet connectedness. It’s not alone in this vastness. It’s a connectedness, that everything is included in that oneness. It’s not isolated by itself alone. It’s an aloneness where everything is you or included in you. And it’s the essence of these moments.
Making It Real
I give a lot of credence to grounding and to being in the body. Because this is the ordeal on the spiritual path. I meet many of you who have already ascended. You don’t have much problem with ascension, because it’s all bliss, awareness, spaciousness, peace, God and...
Interview with San Diego’s The Life Connection
Originally published in The Life Connection, April 4, 2016 Late in the evening of January 4, 1998, a great anguish erupted in my soul and I collapsed onto my drafting board. I awoke as if I had broken through some barrier and was connected to everything. Ecstatic...
The Bhagavad Gita
From a talk given at Wildgrace Farm 4/14/16 I want to talk a bit about the Bhagavad Gita. There are structures that exist in the subtle worlds, the worlds beyond our boundaries that are here for the purpose of supporting the human being in the evolution of...
Sat Shree’s New Year’s Message: A New Possibility
To be able to bring forward dharma we first have to come to a place of beingness where the world is subservient to our purpose, all the other things we have made important are subservient to our purpose… How to bring forward dharma? For most it is this incremental...
The Four Attainments on the Spiritual Path
I am moved to give this talk about the spiritual aspect of the journey of consciousness both to assist people who are relatively new to the spiritual journey and to remind those who are in the middle of the process that there are recognizable stages—the attainments of Ego, Self, God, and Truth.

Awakening is Not a Path
There is a current misunderstanding about the relevance of the sudden spiritual awakenings that are occurring on the planet these days. These are wonderful, sudden shifts in one’s reality where we break out of the content of us and become the context in which the...
Reclaiming our Authority
The Bhagavad Gita has a verse which I paraphrase: “reclaim the kingdom ruled by the senses.” This verse states that we have given away our kingdom to our mind’s addiction to the pull of the outer world, the world of the senses. What does this mean? The kingdom is our...
Sat Shree’s Message for the World
So, this is January 12th, 2015 and I’m in Tiruvannamalai, India. This is a message for the world, for those who are able to hear it, at least, at this point. First, my message is one of great hope. Hope is not actually the correct word. This is a statement regarding...
New Year Message from Sat Shree
Sat Shree's 2015 New Year message features the importance of sustainability and how the world and the collective consciousness can maintain a sustainable life.
Stand Alone with God and Truth
This post was originally a New Dharma Conference Call by Sat Shree. Tonight I'm going to talk about building ‘Self’. I was reading an opinion piece in the New York Times, by a well known columnist, and he was describing the environment at university campuses and what...
The Soul
The earliest surviving "Western philosophy" western philosophical view believed that the soul was that which gave the body life. The soul was considered the incorporeal or spiritual 'breath' which animates the living organism. It is similar in Hindu tradition. The...
Human Maturity & the Spiritual Path
[NOTE: This post coincides with the Portland Conference Call from September 23, 2014] You might say that evidence of human maturity is humility. Life is a process if we know how to take advantage of its lessons. It can help us become aware of our limitations as...
Greetings from Portland, OR
New Dharma is currently in the Pacific Northwest enjoying the first rain of the Fall season. Satyamayi and I are enjoying the uniquely warm and intimate City of Portland environment recognizing how difficult it is to pull people's attention to spirit while they are...
The Human Heart
The spiritual path can only be traveled to its end if our human heart has expanded sufficiently through trials, troubles, disappointments, loss and failures. These prepare our human nature for the divine nature. It is the heart that carries the wisdom of these...
Introduction to Truth Consciousness
The Condition of Man For most people life is unconscious, automatic and repetitive. People think they know themselves, but what they call themselves is only a collection of repetitive thoughts, feelings, opinions, judgments and beliefs, combined with periodic bursts...
God, Heaven, & Manifestation
When God remains in heaven, earth suffers, and when God descends to earth, heaven suffers. God has come to earth. A heaven is being created here, but the angels are jealous. They want God for themselves. I saw the truth of this Vedic story while watching the movie...
Emergence
When I look from the broad perspective, it is clear we all are engaged in a process of emergence. In one sense each of us are the sum total of possibilities, some manifested, some not, that are inherent in universal forces and factors that shape all of us. I am, as...
Truth Is…
Language is tricky business. When we use the term ‘truth’ there are many possible meanings. Here, the term truth is used to mean what is ‘real’, what is actually so, not false, ambiguous or obscure. In the material world, truth means what is actual, factual,...
Condition of Man
For most people life is unconscious, automatic and repetitive. People think they know themselves, but what they call themselves is only a collection of repetitive thoughts, feelings, opinions, judgments and beliefs, combined with periodic bursts of desire and anger,...
You are What Meditates
This post was originally printed in the Reno Gazette-Journal's "Faith Forum" titled "Can we find God through meditation?" Meditation is a spiritual technique to turn one’s consciousness inward on 'that' which is the source of all consciousness. This inward focus...
Consecrated Life
A consecrated life begins when we are touched by something beyond the ordinary human capacity to know or experience our life. This can be known or experienced as a presence or a force. This presence/force ignites a fire within us creating the will to align ourselves...
Unconditional Love
Love is a greatly misunderstood word. The key difference is that human love is conditional; spiritual love is unconditional. Human love is distorted or ‘conditioned’ by biology (sex), emotions and mind. As such it suffers all the distortions associated with these such...
Ignorance
Not to know is bad; not to wish to know is worse. - African proverb Ignorance is a state of consciousness. If you compare consciousness to a light bulb then ignorance is a dim light bulb that can barely illuminate the world about it. Ignorance is obscurity. This means...
Self Worth and Relationship
Perhaps the biggest obstacle on the spiritual path is the distorted role relationship plays in our lives. Why? Because we have unwittingly assigned qualities to others that we feel we need for our security, happiness and our sense of self-worth. Most people depend on...
Revelation
The state of revelation is when the universe opens up for just a moment giving us a glimpse of the inherent Truth of existence. It is a state of such intensity that the veil that obscures and binds us dissolves like mist before the sun, allowing the inherent reality...
Be in Integrity
Our true challenge is not spiritual but material. It is how we live. How we act determines our true attainment. Our individual attainment is secondary if we can’t live it. Meeting the demands, responsibilities and requirements of life as IT IS, is both the path to...
The End of Suffering
My work is to awaken and help establish people in their spiritual identity rather than in their egoic, conditioned identity. This ‘shift’ in identity is the key. Until that happens its just the ego looking at the ego, trying to make it ‘better’; always a partial and...
New Dharma Teaching
‘Dharma’ is a Sanskrit word that means one’s ‘way’ or ‘path’ in life that is that is aligned with our role or purpose in the world. When we live aligned with our ‘dharma’, we become increasingly happy, our life gains meaning and purpose, we feel increasingly good...
The Get Real Workshop
Going Beyond Suffering The Get Real Workshop strives to reveal the hidden structures that trap us all in the matrix of lies and deceptions of what the Hindu tradition calls ‘Maya’, the illusion that makes the real seem unreal and the unreal. This condition of...
Life is Yoga
We just completed another Get Real Workshop this last weekend. The focus was on moving into a deeper relationship with the Reality, the SAT by revealing and realizing the layers of hidden unreality, the ASAT, we have unwittingly identified with. I call it ‘Realizing...
The Fundamentals
SAT means existence. It is the simplest truth. It is so simple that we forget it is there. When everything is stripped away all that remains is this, the SAT, existence. CHIT is consciousness. CHIT is that part of us that knows, experiences and learns. The fact is...
Dismantling the Ego
The spiritual path has only one function, to dismantle our identification with the ego sufficiently to know we are the eternal self-existent reality. We are the SAT, the stuff of consciousness itself. This is actually who we are. It is the origin of our sense of...
The First Silent Weekend of Summer
The Innermost Gem The first warm weather in weeks has come to the New Dharma Center here in Washoe Valley, Nevada. Weeks and weeks of snow, rain and wind. The weather is now moving into the 70’s. This is perfect timing for the first Silent Weekend Retreat of the...
Sat Shree’s Awakening
A New Consciousness is Coming Since 2004 I have been guiding and teaching spiritually awakened souls from all walks of life. I have since met and worked with many who have had spiritual experiences similar to mine. It is clear that what has happened to me is a...
The Bhakti Path – the Yoga of Devotion
Introduction – the Three Paths The Bhakti path is one of the three (3) main paths to the Supreme; Karma, the path of Action, Jnana, the path of Knowledge and Bhakti the path of Divine love. One can enter the spiritual journey via any one of these three but ultimately...
The Story of iAM
Let me tell you the story of iAM; a journey of consciousness… Once upon a time there was the ‘AM’ then after awhile there was the ‘i’ (this took a long time but things are being condensed here a bit). The ‘AMi’ is ALIVE but don’t know it. This created the question...
The Avatar
The movie, the ‘Avatar’, inspired me to explain the nature of spirit and the spiritual path in a very simple way. It is my experience that without understanding what is spirit you will not be able to recognize or realize it when it when you find it. You need to...
Why do this Retreat?
I know some of you are considering attending the upcoming New Dharma’s Silent Retreat. Now that the reality of cost and time are before you the usually considerations are coming up for people. The question is “why do this?” What we are in essence is the Sat. the...
Namaste from India
This is the first time I have felt to share with you something from this trip to India. Terry, Sasha and Satyapriti have joined me on what may be an annual pilgrimage to this land of saints and seers. This was my home for six years and in some ways will always be my...
Taking Refuge
I encountered this term while studying the Buddhist’s teachings. I feel it is an important concept to understand. What does taking refuge mean? In the Buddhist tradition it means to commit oneself sincerely to one’s teacher, his teachings (and practices) and the...
Liberation and the Spiritual Path
There seems to be confusion among spiritual seekers about what the spiritual path is all about. So let us get back to basics. The purpose of the spiritual path is liberation. All of humanity is striving for freedom from fear and suffering for themselves and others....
