A friend wrote me and asked me about that "self realization thing" that I had mentioned in conversation. This was my response:

The Self-Realization that you mentioned is the goal of life. It is basically the experience of knowing the answer to the question, "Who am I?"

The way to have this experience is not something difficult. However, there are many paths that will give you a difficult route if you like. Many people think it "has to be hard."

Those who do usually will find a hard path, and if a natural, effortless path comes along, they will pass it by.

"Too good to be true. It can't be that easy, You can't get something for nothing. Life is made to be hard......etc. etc. etc." You get my point.

Could It Really Be Easy?

What is between you and your Self-Realization? Simply the past experiences you’ve had in your life that keep you believing in limitation and fear. Most of the 50 to 60,000 thoughts that people think throughout the day are about the past (that you wish you could change) or the future (which you fear.) This keeps you from experiencing the
perfection of the now.

Because your mind experiences what looks like chaos, so does your body, and this lodges stress in your nervous system. This in turn perpetuates these thoughts. Thus, a downward spiral is formed. Old habits, judgements, beliefs, and limitations can keep a person so caught up that the Light of Self-Realization within is covered and clouded.

This happens even though it is always there -- always within our hearts – unchanging. We don’t experience it because of everything covering it up. It is that simple.

It is the most incredible experience. It cannot even be described by words.

Jesus did well to call it, "the peace that passes all understanding." In the Eastern world, it’s called "samadhi" or just Enlightenment. These are different descriptions of the same experience. Your own personal experience is what’s important. No amount of knowledge about an experience compares to having an experience. That bears repeating: many
people have all kinds of ideas and things about the experience of enlightenment, which is not at all anywhere near the actual experience.

The Ishayas' Ascension techniques help one move into the experience, gradually and effortlessly. Are you ready to experience the truth of who you are?
