Lesson 8

Attachment Of The Ego (Meditation)

The Ego is created by the "Thinking Mind" which ruminates on the past and worries about the future. As we observe the desires of the ego, we can see its childish nature, laugh at it, adore it, and then let it go.

Lesson 9

Your Beloved Is Your Creation

In this lesson, we explore the intriguing idea that the love and beauty you see in your beloved are reflections of what already exists within you. By exploring the idea that our reality may be like a dream, we consider the possibility that the people we attract are mirrors of our own consciousness. This understanding suggests that when we fall in love, we are actually connecting with an aspect of ourselves. By realizing that the source of love and beauty is within, we can cultivate a lasting joy that doesn't depend on external circumstances.

Lesson 11

Your Beloved And You Are one

In this session, we explore the idea that you and your beloved are deeply connected, transcending physical distance and even time itself. Love is not just an emotion but a universal force, connecting us in ways that go beyond our understanding. Just as quantum entanglement links particles across vast distances, love binds souls, making separation an illusion. As we reflect on this connection, we begin to see that the beloved never truly leaves us—they remain within, as an inseparable part of our being.

Lesson 13

Love Never Leaves You

In this lesson, we confront the often misunderstood nature of love and loss. Drawing on Rumi’s wisdom, we explore the profound idea that when we feel abandoned by love, it is not the beloved who has left us, but rather, we who have strayed from ourselves. The pain of love transforms into suffering when we become dependent on others to feel loved, believing that the source of love is external. By turning inward and reconnecting with this endless wellspring, we discover that love never truly leaves—it is always within us, waiting to be rediscovered.

Lesson 14

The Infinite Fountain (Meditation)

Lesson 15

There Is Only One

In this session, we explore the deep connection that transcends physical boundaries and separations, drawing on Rumi’s profound understanding of love. The belief that you and your beloved are separate is an illusion created by the mind. This awareness allows you to find your beloved in all things, in every sensation, and in every moment. As we journey inward, we discover that true oneness with our beloved is always present, waiting to be realized.

Total Surrender

In this session, we explore the profound concept of total surrender as the key to experiencing true love. Drawing on Rumi's wisdom, we examine the idea of Fanaa, the annihilation of the self, leading to Baqaa, a union with the infinite. To truly love, one must let go of the ego’s desires and need for control. This is Love Nirvana—a state of blissful awakening where love is no longer a pursuit but a realization that you are love itself.
