Being Bliss

We live in a post-scientific world. Most people don't even notice it as a belief system, which is exactly how you know it's become one: an unexamined religion with no spirituality left in it. Consciousness, and everything real that lives in that domain, hasn't gone anywhere just because we stopped looking at it. We're already living with the consequences of ignoring it, mostly too blind to see that's even what's happening.

Being Bliss is an attempt to bring that understanding back into a world that forgot about it. None of it is new. That forgetting is exactly why our society is so anxious, sad, suffering, possessed, sly, angry, greedy, full of crooks. This place exists to offer a way back to that original innocence, the place where everything is fine and things work out perfectly.

And this comes from actually going on a long journey and return. At twenty-one, at a prestigious institution, I was surrounded by depression and suicide, real, not exaggerated. I was depressed too, apathetic enough that I stopped eating and sleeping, a walking corpse a psychiatrist couldn't diagnose. From that hole, I started to practice being on the path for years, without knowing where it'd lead. Just doing the right things. That practice led to samadhi, a literal death and rebirth, the body dying, spirit put back in, born again. In that moment I asked, “I have tried so hard, where do they teach this?” There was no answer. I hope this becomes that place. It took six months to function again, and another six after that to speak properly. That is where the energy for this entire project began.

What followed wasn't easy: real opposition, attacks, and help arriving alongside it. I searched through existing spiritual schools too, to see what's out there, most just create a bubble and don't share the whole thing, at least the ones who actually know don't. So I did my own iteration, based on what people from the past who'd actually had this kind of experience did, not what institutions built up around it later. Instead of writing a book, I decided to do this.

The source of this work is a real experience, dealing with real issues, arriving at real understanding. That's what's being offered here. No fluff. Things that actually work. The things the fake world tries to hide from and shy away from. We look straight at the ugliness, get rid of it, and let bliss come through.

This is being done because it is the will of the Lord, under the guidance of the Spirit. May it reach who it has to reach, and benefit who it has to benefit. May all beings be happy, may all beings be free of suffering, may people find love and peace, and may the Lord shine his light on all of us.
