The Most Effective Way To Solve Internal Clearance

Amma says: Just being aware of the bondage is enough to free us from its clutches.

As it leaves, resistance will grow big in our awareness. We will feel uncomfortable but it is just the ego's last ditch attempt to keep us locked in the past. If we watch, rather than buying into the storyline, it will gradually fall away.

Trust in what is simple and already within us—Amma, the Creator - and let the resistances gently clear this way. Fighting them will just make things worse.

We are conditioned to believe we are not allowed to live from our truth, so we turn away and get lost in complexity. But we can learn to follow our inner guidance, put it into practice.

Moms can enhance their children's lives by teaching an attitude of gratitude. When a Mom infuses gratefulness into her family's daily life, she helps her children grow into happy, loving adults.

Finally, don't worry too much. In the end, inner clearance happens naturally when we listen to and follow the guidance of our hearts.

Transcript

We're asking for grace,

Amma's grace,

The Creator's grace,

For all of us and for all of us to open more and more to grace,

To feel it more and more in our lives,

To make it an experiential thing,

Not just a theoretical thing,

But that we feel it and we share it,

We play in it,

We revel in it.

And so it is.

It's like cooking in grace,

Really.

So,

You know,

Yesterday,

Jenna was talking about a dream she had where she was surrounded by people with a prayerful attitude to Amma.

And Amma signaled her to kiss her cheek.

So she made a direct connection with Amma.

And then Amma put out her arms to sort of stop Jenna from doing this.

But really,

It was just to allow Jenna to move through the resistance she's carrying.

And Jenna kissed Amma's cheek.

What Pramasutra is really hoping that the satsangs do,

That gradually they support us coming into our hearts.

So we have that experience being closer to Amma,

Closer to the Creator,

Closer to our hearts.

That's the whole point of the satsangs.

And that's why they're uncomfortable sometimes.

But you can see from the dream that the resistance was coming from Amma,

And it was almost playful,

You know.

It's like when we encounter resistance in our lives,

It can feel so serious.

We can feel like,

Oh,

We're not doing it right.

Oh,

I've got this stiff body.

Nothing's working for me.

But if we can just remember what Amma says,

That all our thoughts come through Amma.

That even with resistance,

We're just so loved and held.

And the truth of it is,

We're the Creator,

We've just forgotten.

The experience of the resistance makes us forget that we're the Creator as well.

And so when we move through the resistance,

We start really feeling the love in our hearts for ourselves and all humanity,

You know.

You get both.

You get more self-acceptance,

And you love other people more.

Right.

That's it.

That's it.

And,

You know,

Any precision that comes through Premasuddha,

You know,

When you ask a question,

It's just because Premasuddha knows herself so well,

Knows all the tricks of the ego so well,

So she can spot them and help you through them.

We're all the same,

You guys.

So on the heels of yesterday,

Holly,

Who was talking about an experience of resistance in her life,

And she needed it to graduate,

But she didn't want to complete it,

And she almost didn't complete it.

But somebody came along and said,

Hey,

It's just an eight-page paper.

And Holly realized that she could write the paper in three days.

She could do it,

Research it,

And write it in three days.

And she ended up passing easily.

So in conclusion,

At the email,

She said,

I realized that resistance was not to be worked with.

It was to be moved through.

Moved through.

Just like Jenna moved through,

Like,

Moved through the resistance and kissed Amma's cheek,

Made that connection with Amma.

Okay.

So the point of what I'm saying is that any resistance you feel is solvable.

This is what I really want you to understand,

That when things are clearing,

They come up into our consciousness very strongly.

You know,

Lao Tzu,

In his book,

The Way of the Tao,

He said,

You know,

If you want to get rid of something,

Let it become very big.

And,

You know,

There's a principle in,

If you've economically oriented at all,

You'll notice that companies will sometimes build huge,

Huge buildings for themselves,

And then they go bust.

Or if you read about the robber barons in the old days,

They'd build huge mansions for themselves,

And then their fortunes would start to fall.

This principle about,

You know,

The coming up very strongly and then beginning to shrink is even there in nature with,

You know,

High noon,

And then the sun starts to fall.

It's just a principle of life,

You guys.

So,

But the really important thing with this is to understand that you cannot fight resistance.

You know,

You might make a choice to become more true to Amma,

More true to the Creator within you.

And that is pushing through resistance.

Do you understand?

Resistance is not to be fought with.

If you fight it,

It will get bigger.

It's more just the decision,

Like in Jenna's dream,

Where Amma invited her to kiss her cheek,

And so Jenna did that.

But you just make a decision.

You see a possibility of moving through this resistance,

And you just do it.

There's no fight,

But the doing of it is really an allowing,

Okay?

So,

Exclamation mark.

The moving of through resistance is the process of allowing.

So,

Amma,

I just saw when I was waiting for the satsang to start,

I saw a clip from Amma,

Who's talking more about emotional IQ things lately.

And in it,

She says,

Just being aware of the bondage is enough to free you from its clutches.

Just being aware of the bondage is enough to free you from its clutches.

You just live with it,

See it.

You feel how much it bothers you,

Gets in your way,

Takes the fun out of life.

You pray,

You know,

Maybe after a day of feeling really resistant,

You are really stuck,

You pray with a greater intensity that night.

That's it,

You guys.

It's a matter of staying on it.

You just stay on the journey.

You get on your horse and you ride it.

You know,

Somebody who's riding a horse,

They don't,

They're staying focused about staying on the horse all the time.

Because if you don't stay focused about staying on the horse,

You'll fall off.

Same with the journey,

It has to be your focus.

And if the journey is you're focused at a deep place in your heart,

Like that place of just wanting to give Amma a kiss on the cheek,

Wanting to bond more with Amma,

Wanting to really know her from the inside of you,

Not just the outside,

But you know her from the inside.

That's it.

It's again coming back to Archangel Gabriel,

Tell them the answers are on the inside.

That's it.

So,

You know,

Whatever resistance we're feeling is the resistance that we came here to allow to be cleared,

You know.

Remember,

It's coming from other lives.

It's not like your fault.

It's just your responsibility to allow it to be cleared.

You see,

This is the rub.

This is where we can lose faith,

Faith in the Creator or faith in the teacher,

Is when the resistance looms up and it fools us.

We believe it.

Yeah,

You see.

And the thing about Kali Yuga is the darkness seems so upfront and personal,

You know.

It seems very convincing,

But it has no power because it is illusion.

Just,

You know,

I've said this a lot,

That even if you're in the most dire pickle,

In the worst situation,

Just imagine opening a door to light.

And this will steer your psyche toward allowing the light in.

Okay,

So I want to go even more to the heart of this issue,

And it's in a deep place in all of us.

You know,

But first of all,

I want you to understand it.

So,

You know,

I've talked a lot about the patriarchy,

And so there's this bias against emotions and intuitions to the realm of the feminine aspect of consciousness.

They're disregarded,

Really,

Except as information to be used for manipulation.

And this is very,

Very painful for human beings to live like this,

And most of us are out of touch with how painful it is.

So,

In a climate like this,

There are two ways to do the spiritual journey.

There is one way where there's a great focus on form,

Executing the forms of the religious journey,

Of the spiritual journey.

And in that great emphasis on form,

There can be an avoidance of the deeper journey,

Of the deeper willingness to deal with the emotional complexes that we all come in with,

Or,

You know,

99% of us.

We might even do forms,

Emphasis on forms,

Not really dealing with our inner material,

And be focusing on,

Oh,

I'm going to be a teacher,

I'm going to be a meditation teacher,

I'm going to be a spiritual teacher.

Okay,

So the Pramasutra,

This way just leads to confusion,

And to another life of actually having to deal with the emotional.

And really,

If someone does keep focusing on the forms,

Even that way they will be brought to face their emotional material.

It'll get stronger and stronger,

The need to face this material.

It will start bothering them more and more,

Because it is part of the authentic journey.

It's the heart of the journey,

It's clearing,

Allowing our emotional complexes to clear.

So,

A person has a choice,

Then,

About what to do with the increased inner urge to deal with this emotional material.

They can either squish it down,

Repress it,

In this repression of the emotions and the intuitions,

Or they can open up to it.

The other way to do the journey is to,

You know,

Hopefully do the forms of the journey,

Like regular meditation,

It really helps,

But allowing the meditation,

These practices,

Allowing them to help us find the silence within,

To unearth,

To see the resistances,

The complexes.

See,

If this material comes up in meditation,

And you're able to face this material in meditation,

Then your whole life can go smoother.

So,

For example,

I remember my heart opening during meditation,

And I went shopping and had immediately a beautiful experience with um,

In the shop where,

You know,

It's a grocery shop,

A kind of a heart-opening encounter with someone.

Right.

See,

If in our meditation,

Say,

Maybe we're meditating and we feel very tense for some reason,

And then we go out into our lives,

And we might have an experience where we get tense,

Just in the outer world.

But if we're kind of aware of the connection between what goes on in our meditation practice,

And aware that we're allowing these complexes to clear,

We can just be with the tension and notice it,

And hopefully take it to Amma,

To the creator.

See,

We don't really talk about how to really do the journey in a practical way.

It often becomes just sort of theoretical.

And Premasid is really hoping to support the actual embodiment of your true natures.

Through this,

The transmissions,

And also just this bigger understanding of how the journey works.

So,

If you sit down to your meditation,

And this is your time to really focus on Amma,

The creator,

You can learn how to be with tensions,

Discomfiture bubbling up,

Because you know that on the other side of this discomfiture,

You're going to have a meditation that is just really full of love from Amma,

Love of the creator,

Of great peace.

The pendulum goes in our meditation practice as well,

The pendulum from joy to sorrow.

You know,

When Holly wrote about you know,

Completing the course and everything,

She said at the very end that she'd realized that the need to just trust what was simple and already there in us.

That's really what I'm talking about.

I know this is might be a little bit confusing for the heads,

But all I'm talking about is learning how to trust what's simple and already there within you,

And to speak from it as much as possible,

And gently allow the clearing of resistance so this gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

This trusting of what's inside you,

What's simple and already there in a deep way,

Which is the creator and Amma.

It's already there,

You guys.

Simple and already there.

And the,

You know,

The difficulty with the patriarchy,

Especially women,

Will feel they can't come from that,

And they'll turn away from it and get lost in complexity.

And you know,

When the women get lost in complexity,

Everybody gets lost in complexity then.

I'm feeling my energetic arms around you,

So holding you so deeply and so close so that this can be transmitted about that the worth of you is simple.

It's already there.

Just like a little child,

You know,

Getting up in the morning and going,

Hi,

Mom,

Coming into the mom's bedroom.

Hi,

Mom.

Simple.

The child knows his or her worth,

And the mom will be,

You know,

Maybe a bit groggy,

But will be happy to see the child.

That's it.

The creator's happy to see you.

Amma's happy to see us.

Amma said,

I heard her say that she loves the way we walk and talk.

Imagine that.

She feels that,

So she's got thousands of people in front of her,

And she loves the way we walk and talk.

I mean,

What a,

What a,

What a wonder.

But it's the truth,

You guys.

It's the truth of things.

This love within you,

This eternal being exists.

We've just taught,

Been taught,

You know,

We just learned to be so scared of it.

Here we are,

You know,

We've got,

We're so,

Like,

I say this to you,

We're so scared of it,

That we're kind of more at home with dropping bombs,

And it's like,

It's so sad.

You know,

This is a big,

You know,

Just like in the dream with Jenna,

Moving through the resistance and kissing on his cheek.

May we all just do this.

You know,

May we all just bond to the creator within us.

You know,

This is why,

You know,

What Premasuddha says is,

Makes deep sense.

But to really understand it,

You have to become more at home with your emotional nature,

With your intuitions.

If you're more lodged in your head,

What Premasuddha says won't make so much sense.

But part of you will be resonating,

Even if it doesn't make sense,

Will be part of you that is going,

Hmm,

There's something really right about this.

Because the cells of your body know about truth.

And when you're,

When you come to these situations regularly,

Where there is transmission,

The truth of you gets strengthened.

That's it.

Women particularly have really high emotional IQs.

And what they've learned is that it's not safe to have that knowledge.

So,

Women kind of play dumb when secretly they know better.

This is right across the board.

And this is,

You know,

When you realize you can just push through this resistance,

Like not push through it,

You can allow it to heal.

You can observe it and just really see how stupid it keeps you,

Really.

I'm being really blunt,

Ladies,

Because I know myself.

I know how stupid it kept me.

And I knew better underneath.

You just have to realize that you can come forward with this knowledge,

That you're really,

Really valuable.

And you can have the knowledge in your hearts.

You can live from that.

There's nothing stopping you.

I've seen this over and over.

It's in men too,

But I see it more in women,

That there'll be,

The woman will get an intuition,

Which is actually coming from the truth of her,

And she'll just ignore it.

Right.

And you know,

When the truth of us is ignored over and over,

It gets,

It will stop bothering us.

It will go,

Okay,

They're just not interested in this life.

It's a rule in the spiritual journey,

You know,

To a sincere seeker,

Don't take yourself to places where you're not valued.

The same thing occurs in the Creator inside us.

It won't bother us if we're not interested.

Then these intuitions get weaker.

And you see,

The ego,

The patriarchal ego will tell women that that's keeping them safe.

And it's extremely dangerous to live that way,

Because it turns into a life of frustration and unfulfillment.

It's much safer to follow your guidance and put it in practice.

So,

This is what Premasuddhas found over and over and over.

There's another thing I wanted to say to the mums in the group.

When I look back with raising the boys,

I was very,

Like I say,

I didn't,

I hadn't found Amma,

And I felt very unsupported,

And I felt like I wasn't sure it was really going to work,

That,

You know,

Really love existed,

And that,

You know,

Everything would work out.

And I look back,

And I think,

You know,

If I had taught the kids,

If we as a family had kind of a family focus on gratitude,

You know,

If I taught the kids gratefulness,

Just kind of woven it into the emotional climate of the family.

You know,

Premasuddha looks back,

And I think a lot of the problems that I encountered would not have manifested.

That's why I'm passing it on to you guys.

You know,

Gratefulness for food,

Just if it became like,

Just the family way.

Focus on gratefulness,

Especially with boys,

You know,

If you've got boys,

That would,

It would help them become really fine men.

You know,

It's really,

The journey's so simple,

Really.

It's just because we're in alienated,

We've been conditioned by alienated cultures,

That it seems difficult,

Because it's really simple.

Gratitude is the main virtue.

If you focus on gratitude,

You get all the virtues.

And teaching it to kids,

I think,

Would be just the greatest gift you could give them.

Yeah,

Don't forget about it,

Okay?

Don't forget about this.

It would save you so much.

Just weaving it in,

And it would help you remember just weaving it in.

We mums are so powerful.

There's a,

This New Zealand Maori who I've studied with,

As well,

Who was just an incredible guy.

He said,

If the woman knows about the Creator,

The woman has a sincere relationship with the Creator,

Everybody knows about it.

Everybody in the family,

The descendants,

Ancestors.

And he said,

If the guy knows about the Creator,

Just the guy knows about the Creator.

It doesn't spread the same way.

It spreads through the women.

There's this story I told you about,

Yogananda's teacher,

Who the angels came and were basically bowing down to him,

Because he had brought in such a level of truth here on the earth plane,

Which is considered the toughest level.

But in his marriage,

His wife didn't even know he was awakened.

I mean,

She finally found out in old age.

And Masuda's feeling a lot of grace coming to you,

And kind of the feeling of some boon.

And it would come just because you're allowing it,

You guys.

You see,

This is,

We're in this incredible,

Abundant,

Energetic climate,

And we're the ones who are walling it off.

We just don't know any better.

But we're learning.

And as you learn,

You open up more and more.

Right.

Right.

Like I said to you before,

Our souls are so happy when we open up.

They're so happy to have a body to work with,

Who's willing to receive this energy,

The true nature.

Our souls wait for a body to get through to.

You know,

Part of the,

It's almost humorous with teaching this,

You know,

Speaking about the spiritual journey,

Because the level of truth changes depending on where we're speaking from.

So,

You know,

At the highest level,

Amma would say,

I heard Amma say that she knew what life we would become self-realized,

Which suggests that all these lives are totally preordained,

Even to the one where we're attaining self-realization.

But that level of knowledge isn't that useful for most of us in a practical way.

What's useful is anything that helps us trust more,

Feel our own worth,

Feel our intrinsic worth,

Be able to put our arms around ourselves in love and compassion,

Even if we're just I don't know,

Doing some foolish thing for the hundredth time.

You know,

Premasiddha remembers that I used to get this awful pain in my solar plexus,

And it would be like sort of an umbrella just under my diaphragm,

And my thoughts would be full of control,

My body would be like aching,

And then I would just move through it.

The thoughts would dissolve,

The pain would dissolve,

And I'd be freer.

See,

You guys,

In a way,

There's nothing to figure out apart from your relationship with yourself and your own body,

And your ability to observe,

Be with your experience on the journey,

And observe,

And giving room to your soul to do your journey for you.

Yeah,

You know,

I feel like this is,

Remember I talked about getting body work,

And there were three people working on me and six hands,

And I couldn't keep track of all the hands,

And I feel like there's a level that all the things I've said today are a little bit like coming from so many different levels that it's hard for the intellect to hold on to it.

So maybe it's like it's a great day for just letting go of the intellect and going,

Okay,

I'm here,

I'm breathing,

I'm with myself,

It cannot be figured out with my head,

But I can watch myself,

Feeling,

Relaxing into more trust,

Feeling more spacious in my body,

Because it cannot be figured out with our heads,

You guys.

It's just so ridiculous about the whole thing,

You know.

Yeah,

It really,

In fact,

You know,

If you think it can make sense to your head,

Then you're not on the bigger journey.

Well,

In a way,

That's not quite true,

Because in a way,

It all makes sense to Pramasutra's head now,

The simplicity of it,

Like,

You know,

Love your children,

Love your children,

And that's the best thing you can do for them to become happy adults.

It's very logical,

In a big way.

Ruth,

And you touched my heart with your openness yesterday,

To this very,

It's like the female aspect of the spiritual journey.

It's a great focus on the feminine aspect of the spiritual journey.

Just being open,

Like you are,

That's it.

I saw in a LinkedIn picture,

And it was showing the doors of people going through,

And the door of criticism had like millions of people going through it,

And then the door of actually doing something to help had about two people going through it.

Yeah,

This is what alienated cultures create.

Yeah,

And we do it to ourselves,

And we criticize ourselves like that.

Remember,

Too,

That when you're numb,

You guys,

When your feet are cold,

Been out in the snow with gumboots,

Not proper boots,

And you come back,

You put your feet in a pail of warm water,

They will start to sting.

When we come out of numbness,

It hurts emotionally.

Same principle.

Feet sting,

And when we come out of emotional numbness,

It stings emotionally.

Just let it sting.

Keep turning to the Creator,

You know.

Really,

Pramasutra feels at this time that there's just nowhere else to go,

And there never has been anywhere else to go,

But it's just becoming more obvious.

There's a very deep opening to grace happening beyond your consciousness.

Another good thing to do is look back in your life and see how many times you were saved when you were clueless,

When you were maybe even heading in the wrong direction.

You know,

You came across somebody who said something,

Or you came across a teacher,

Or you read a book,

Or even maybe something negative happened,

But it saved you.

It gave you a course correction.

Please,

You know,

Look at your lives with this kind of dispassion.

See how the Creator has woven into your life,

And how the Creator is taking care of everything,

You know,

Despite us.

We think we're doing it,

You know.

It's just the ego that thinks that.

You know,

It feels like there's less shame being carried by the group now.

It feels like there's more of this opening to grace and allowing.

It's like there's no reason for us to be ashamed of our humanity,

You guys.

We're bumbling idiots as human beings.

We're going to make the same mistake many times.

It's just having the patience to observe it and keep turning to the Creator,

Keep turning to Amma.

And if you're ambivalent about the,

You know,

The journey or teacher,

Just keep taking it to Amma,

Keep taking it to the Creator.

Or ask the teacher directly if you've got something doesn't make sense.

Ask the teacher.

Come forward with it,

Like Holly said,

Like just come forward with what's inside you.

That's the powerful thing to do.

Because I'll tell you,

People will criticize and ridicule you no matter what you do.

Truly,

There is no safety,

You guys.

The only safety is with the Creator.

So you might as,

If you're going to get ridiculing and criticism,

You might as well be serving the Creator,

You know.

And really,

It's just our mammalian brains,

You know,

We need the herds,

We get anxious on our own.

But all this,

You know,

When you start tapping into Amma's energy,

You start tapping into the Creator,

That anxiety leaves.

You become very at peace with just living your existence.

And then what happens is you end up getting more respect as a byproduct.

Nobody said it's easy.

What's that song,

You know,

I never promised you a rose garden.

It's like,

Yeah,

I mean,

It's Amma says it's like climbing a mountain,

You know.

It's like,

Sometimes there's a might be a beautiful field of wildflowers,

You know,

On a plateau.

But maybe,

You know,

There's a rock face and storms coming.

But you're okay,

No matter what.

Truly,

An infinite loving intelligence behind this whole thing.

And remember,

What Amma said,

You don't have to,

She said,

Just seeing the resistance,

Being aware of the bondage is enough to free you from its clutches.

And the reason it's enough is because it's your soul that frees you.

And it's your soul that brings you to the awareness of your bondage.

Your soul brings you to that experience of how stuck you are.

And it's your soul that brings you out of it.

Or you can say Amma brings us to the experience of how stuck we are.

And then Amma,

Who brings us through it.

Yeah.

Always,

You guys,

You will be brought through it.

I promise you.

Always.

And even if a person gets really scared on their deathbed,

They do pass over,

They get through it.

They get through it to the peace and joy.

But you can do it while you live your life.

Yeah.

This is Premasuddha's experience.

Right.

Very good.

There's also a feeling of as if there's going to be a new level of peace being able to come in.

And a new level of receiving guidance.

Of being able to hear it.

This is what I feel is coming for the group.

And if you're going to yourself,

If you can't feel this,

Just go,

Me too.

Me too.

There's nothing stopping you from having that experience.

Just say me too.

It's like kiss Amma's cheek.

Just lean in and kiss her cheek.

Lean in to bond with your true nature.

That's it.

You know,

Even if your heads are like totally confused.

Oh well.

You know,

If it could be explained in sort of very simple terms,

It wouldn't be the spiritual journey.

I also wanted to tell you,

If you have a dream like,

Bad dream,

Or a dream you don't like the ending of,

I've said this before,

You can lie down and work with the dream and in an organic way alter it to the ending that you wish.

You can also lie down and be each dream figure.

Because there are all parts of you in your dream.

It's all parts of you.

Never,

Ever,

Please never ever feel hostage to a dream,

Like going,

Oh,

It's a bad dream.

Oh,

I'm,

I'm on the wrong track or,

Or think now my life is going to become difficult.

Don't do that.

Take action with the dream.

Yeah,

It's sort of like,

If a car steering in the wrong direction,

You correct it in the direction you're wanting.

Sid is very grateful to you that you turn up and receive,

That we all get together.

We all open to the divine.

And that you,

You know,

Open and receive the gift that Premasuda is wishing to give,

Which is just,

You know,

Some wise woman experience.

And tips.

That you're willing to come in at this deeper level.

I mean,

It seems really miraculous to me.

When I think about all the decades of Premasuda's life,

That there now are people really willing to get this.

And,

You know,

It's because more of Premasuda's in truth.

So,

Of course,

People would manifest around.

I mean,

That's how it works.

It was because Premasuda wasn't so much in truth in the old days.

So,

This is how it works,

You guys.

We get,

You know,

We get data that proves our progress,

Shows us our progress.

It's never anybody else's fault,

Even though it can feel like it.

I feel like this is like two years of information in one hour.

Yeah.

Is there any questions or comments before we complete?

We never complete,

You guys.

Premasuda's always blessing you.

But just for this hour that we're together.

Yeah.

Yeah,

You guys.

Yeah,

Just may you just really feel the grace.

May it be easier and easier for you to have trust and to allow your true nature to be born to express.

Yeah.

And so it is.
