069: Your Unique Vibration Is the Key to Spiritual Awakening

WEBVTT
00:00:00.179 --> 00:00:03.750
the eyes are the windows of the soul, and this is very true.
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:06.464
When we communicate, we look into people's eyes, don't we?
00:00:06.464 --> 00:00:08.891
We get those feelings of trust, of love.
00:00:08.891 --> 00:00:19.766
You know, we're not looking at their big toe, we're looking in their eyes and I perceive their subtle vibration that they emanate.
00:00:19.766 --> 00:00:23.931
Okay, which is a condensed, subtle version.
00:00:23.931 --> 00:00:31.989
I would write that in word or syllable form and that would formulate your own personal mantra.
00:00:31.989 --> 00:00:36.911
You're not using an artificial tool, and this is what makes our system so very different.
00:00:37.552 --> 00:00:51.747
You are using your own vibration to grow yourself what makes faisu meditation different from any other forms of meditation?
00:00:52.930 --> 00:01:08.409
Okay, I think the most important thing at our is that we give individually, so practices are given depending on the person.
00:01:08.409 --> 00:01:18.941
So the course is very similar, but fundamentally we use a mantra, which is a string of words or syllables that we repeat in meditation.
00:01:18.941 --> 00:01:23.947
Now, in most other systems, these are what's called Bija mantras.
00:01:23.947 --> 00:01:38.534
They come, they're considered to be primal sounds that were there when the universe was created and, yes, they have some significant emphasis, but it's not your sound.
00:01:38.534 --> 00:01:43.040
You know what is your unique vibration.
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.760
What is your unique vibration?
00:01:43.760 --> 00:02:34.292
So if we were to condense you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually into a sound, into a vibration, because of our uniqueness, which we have found through neuroplasticity, which our fingerprint confirms, the iris in our eye and our DNA, they all confirm that, even though you and I are related as the brotherhood of man, we are totally unique because that neuroplasticity, which gives us the ability to adapt to new situations, has been such a profound part of our survival system and therefore we have found that individuality.
00:02:34.292 --> 00:02:47.954
Now our path is to go from individuality to universality, but to do that we need to use your unique vibration, so we need to condense you.
00:02:47.954 --> 00:03:07.622
So if you come to learn in Faisu, you'll be asked to supply a photograph, without glasses or contact lenses, of your eyes, because one of my countrymen, who you will know very well, so william shakespeare, has said the eyes are the windows of the soul.
00:03:07.622 --> 00:03:11.109
Okay, and this is very true.
00:03:11.109 --> 00:03:16.270
When we communicate, we look into people's eyes, don't we get those feelings of trust, of love?
00:03:16.270 --> 00:03:17.373
You know, we're not.
00:03:17.373 --> 00:03:20.082
We're not looking at their big toe, we're looking in their eyes.
00:03:20.082 --> 00:03:24.391
True, true, um, and that's how we communicate.
00:03:24.391 --> 00:03:28.108
So the windows are really, they are definitely the windows of the soul.
00:03:28.108 --> 00:03:41.468
So I meditate on that person, on their photograph, and I perceive their subtle vibration that they emanate.
00:03:41.489 --> 00:03:45.598
Okay, which is a condensed, subtle version.
00:03:45.598 --> 00:03:53.657
I would write that in word or syllable form and that would formulate your own personal mantra.
00:03:53.657 --> 00:04:02.775
So, in fact, you're not using an artificial tool, and this is what makes our system so very different.
00:04:02.775 --> 00:04:35.826
You are using your own vibration to grow yourself, so to speak, to unfold yourself, because the essence of that vibration is divine, it is universal, but the personal mantra helps you draw very effectively on that divine, universal level and, as we said, bring those energies to a higher level that we can use them in our daily life to better ourselves and better those around us.
00:04:35.826 --> 00:04:38.649
So that's how we're really, really unique.
00:04:38.649 --> 00:04:42.613
You know, my guru trained me for this.
00:04:42.613 --> 00:04:43.915
This was his system.
00:04:43.915 --> 00:04:49.666
Okay, um, that that he created and, of course, for me, I'm a.
00:04:49.666 --> 00:04:56.699
You know, when we say guru, um spiritual teacher or guru, it's a wonderful word.
00:04:56.699 --> 00:05:03.166
It's two syllables, goo and rue, and they're sanskrit words, and goo means darkness and rue means light.
00:05:03.166 --> 00:05:07.074
So guru is just someone who leads you from the darkness to the light.
00:05:08.216 --> 00:05:08.838
Simple enough.
00:05:11.348 --> 00:05:24.125
Through my own realizations and reaching that enlightened level, I can have these abilities to perceive those subtle vibrations.
00:05:24.125 --> 00:05:33.495
And not only perceive them them, but give them a boost, give them force and awaken that force in you.
00:05:33.495 --> 00:05:40.749
And that's the key once you are spiritually awakened, everything changes in your life.
00:05:40.749 --> 00:06:13.552
Okay, so when we're practicing regularly, but then you know we start off with a simple technique, then we go to the more advanced techniques with the personal mantra, so that you're prepared in that journey, and then this takes you to completely new levels of self-discovery, of spirituality, of consciousness now you said, the personal mantra is unique for everyone no duplicates, okay, no duplicates
00:06:13.872 --> 00:06:15.754
no duplicates same right um.
00:06:15.754 --> 00:06:26.517
You mentioned your guru, and he devised this system yes, yes um, where, where did his inspiration come from?
00:06:26.517 --> 00:06:27.098
How did he?
00:06:27.098 --> 00:06:38.262
You know, like I'm just trying to understand as far as um, with his background and yeah how did he come up with a fayasu meditation?
00:06:38.262 --> 00:06:39.605
What influenced that?
00:06:39.605 --> 00:06:39.946
Okay?
00:06:40.747 --> 00:07:15.338
yeah, well, he was obviously born in india, born in the state of gujarat, okay, um, and transitioned to south africa, um, during the partition between Pakistan and India, and firstly they went to Durban and they settled there for a few months, but they ended up in Cape Town and I really think he had to be there simply because of the apartheid regime that was there.
00:07:15.338 --> 00:07:22.785
He was definitely, like Nelson Mandela, a great light in the darkness down there.
00:07:22.785 --> 00:07:35.853
He was threatened with arrest continually because he spoke publicly about the unity of man, the color of skin didn't matter, that we're all related as the human race, and he was often threatened.
00:07:35.853 --> 00:07:53.572
And that's how I came to know him because, as I said, I was a travel agent and I was asked to get his visas because in those days if you were a South African, because of apartheid, you need a visa for every country in the world except the UK because of the colonial links.
00:07:53.572 --> 00:08:24.836
So he went there, he started, uh, he had a guru, himself in india, a teacher, and he, he, from a very early age, had these realizations as a young teenager and he wanted to just be a monk in in the caves and his guru said no, this isn't for you, you have to go to the west, you have to teach, uh, western people.
00:08:24.836 --> 00:08:33.235
You know, you have to bring your message to a western audience and that's what he strove to do and believe you me, it wasn't easy.
00:08:34.277 --> 00:08:39.490
Um, you know, I the first time I went to cape town, just before I knew about him.
00:08:39.490 --> 00:08:47.452
You know, it's crazy things, like on a beach, there would be two faucets, as you keep them, or taps as we call them in england.
00:08:47.452 --> 00:08:54.631
In england, one will, one will be labeled colored water and the other would be water.
00:08:54.631 --> 00:08:58.298
And I was like, what do you mean colored water?
00:08:58.298 --> 00:09:07.100
You know, it was for the colored people to drink from that tap and they couldn't drink from the white tap, from the normal tap.
00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:09.671
Yeah, it was crazy.
00:09:09.691 --> 00:09:10.695
This was early 80s.
00:09:12.427 --> 00:09:14.735
I was there in 85.
00:09:14.735 --> 00:09:24.176
85, okay, and this was towards the end of of of apartheid, but yeah, it was all these conflicts.
00:09:24.176 --> 00:09:41.965
I mean it's very confusing when you get there because in fact we were breaking the law because my wife was from Trinidad, she was considered colored and, okay, she was partly mixed race, she was considered coloured and I was considered white and you were not allowed to have relationships between coloured and white.
00:09:41.965 --> 00:09:45.975
It was breaking the law, you couldn't get married, you couldn't, couldn't do anything.
00:09:45.975 --> 00:09:54.017
So in fact we were there breaking the law officially, um, but it didn't bother us, you know, and we saw the contrast.
00:09:54.697 --> 00:09:58.565
You know, I always say there are two great men from South Africa.
00:09:58.565 --> 00:10:20.413
One is Nelson Mandela, who Garage knew, not very closely, but they had met and Garage, because he brought these profound teachings to the world, and our organization was born from that apartheid struggle because he wanted to bring.
00:10:20.413 --> 00:10:23.904
You know, why do these people feel like we're different?
00:10:23.904 --> 00:10:25.511
Because we don't have a white skin?
00:10:25.511 --> 00:10:35.330
So that gave him, I suppose, the fodder to say I'm not going to stand for this, I'm going to teach, I'm going to change this.
00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:55.258
And wonderfully, we see now, after him and Mandela you know, gone, passed away that there are huge changes down there, you know, and that people without a white skin can be prosperous, they can have everything a white person can have, and that's amazing.
00:10:55.258 --> 00:11:16.822
But I think it's such an incredible part of our history that we arose because of that separation, of that conflict, of that disgusting you know, apartheid, which you know I'm embarrassed to say it was created by the British.
00:11:16.822 --> 00:11:20.975
You know, that's one part, one dark part of our past.
00:11:20.975 --> 00:11:27.371
But that is the truth and you know.
00:11:27.371 --> 00:11:28.234
But it's gone.
00:11:28.234 --> 00:11:29.035
It's gone.
00:11:29.035 --> 00:11:31.732
I mean, we do see those things in other parts of the world.
00:11:31.773 --> 00:11:35.835
Of course, you know man's fear is prejudice.
00:11:35.835 --> 00:11:38.052
You know prejudice is just fear.
00:11:38.052 --> 00:11:42.674
You know I'm worried you're going to take something away from me, etc.
00:11:42.674 --> 00:11:54.413
So, you know, unless we can overcome that fear within ourselves and that's wonderful thing again meditation does it makes us more, much more altruistic.
00:11:54.413 --> 00:12:02.371
You know we care about other people more, we're more compassionate, we're more loving.
00:12:02.371 --> 00:12:15.371
Of course, because that's the biggest change in anyone is that unfoldment of the heart, so that love becomes the guiding force in our life and that touches everyone around us.
00:12:15.371 --> 00:12:29.336
It enables us to love ourselves, accept ourselves, you know, be content with ourselves, but then we begin to radiate that love to everyone around us, neighbor, anyone who pass in the street.
00:12:29.336 --> 00:12:39.149
I call all my meditators my little beacons of light because I know that through their unfoldment and many of them have been with me 40 years, etc.
00:12:39.149 --> 00:12:52.107
And there are 1000s of them around the world and I see them as my, my beacons of light, shining love, shining consciousness, shining happiness and helping to change the world.
