WHAT IS “AMERICAN BUDDHA”?

Without intervention in the form of Divine Grace, there is no way to get out of our dream. Grace is light. Grace is not of this world. No set of actions can create Grace because Grace is independent of action. How do we receive Grace then? Our American Buddha Programs and Products are specially designed to help you to connect with the nature and power of Divine Grace. We offer programs of spiritual guidance towards, Self-realization, God-realization, Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment. We offer healing Grace and Oneness Blessings and we specialize in teaching advanced meditation techniques and other specialized spiritual technologies.


The “American Buddha” program can benefit you:


If you are seeking a Spiritual Awakening, Self realization, or God-realization,

If you are seeking an authentic meditation teacher to initiate you into highly advanced Yogic Technologies.

If you are a seeker who is looking for Spiritual Guidance Counseling and support,

If you require Healing Grace for physical, mental or spiritual healing,

If you are seeking a miracle in your life right now,

If you are seeking Divine Grace through a Oneness Blessing,

If you wish to improve your relationships or finances,

If you are seeking a long-term program of Self-discovery,


ATTENTION YOGA CENTERS:
We are presently setting up free introductory American Buddha lectures for the fall and winter. If you are interested in a program at your center, please contact us at americanbuddha@gmail.com and make sure to visit our website at americanbuddha.net.

ANNOUNCING THE NEW “AMERICAN BUDDHA” BOOK

ANNOUNCING THE NEW “AMERICAN BUDDHA” BOOK by Stuart Mooney

We wish to announce the release of the new “American Buddha” book. It is now available at most of the large book outlets such as Borders, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. Here is a description of the book taken from the Introduction.

“American Buddha was written to help shift the reader into an Awakened Consciousness.
There are many aspects of the Awakened experience that are being made available to the reader for the first time in this book. On the deepest level, American Buddha is simply your Soul speaking to it self. The words are just a cover. The words are there just to pacify your mind. It is not the words; rather, it is the state that they will bring you to that is important. These words are a kind of gateway. There is a silence associated with them that is significant. If they are read, just know that you will gain a foothold in the area beyond your mind. You will come to know your Soul intimately. You will come to know your inmost Self. You will taste eternity. You will gradually awaken from a million lifetimes of sleep and you will know your Divinity. In the end, you will come to live the wisdom of the Saints from time immemorial.”

Miracles will happen in your life as a result of reading “American Buddha”. We are interested in collecting any miracle stories that you might wish to share for an upcoming book on the subject in the American Buddha series. You will receive full credit in the book for any story that you wish to share. You can e-mail your stories to Stuart at americanbuddha@gmail.com.

A MESSAGE FROM STUART

I have been thinking about all of you and I am interested in seeing how each of you is doing in your spiritual development. How’s it going? I would appreciate any feedback that you can share with me about your present experiences and I will make myself available to answer as many of your questions as I have time for. Also, I will be sure to pass each of you a special Oneness Blessing. I was in India during the month of August at the Golden City which is located about two hours northwest of the seaport city of Chennai where I working on “American Buddha Two: A Book of Miracles” as well as helping with a 21 day Oneness Facilitators training course. The following are answers to questions that you have e-mailed me recently:

ANSWERS

What is the most powerful technique for manifestation?

You can have anything you want in this world as long as you are not here for it. What do I mean by this? Things manifest in this world for a purpose and things definitively do not manifest for a selfish purpose. The more “you” that is involved in your manifestation, the less support the” you” will receive. When the local “you” sense disappears, then the Divine simply becomes you. There is no more separation. The Divine works its plan through you. Divine timing kicks in and your life takes off. Then your life becomes a wild, wonderful and miraculous adventure.

Why does Awakening take so long for westerners?

Awakening is actually a much slower process for westerners because we have been reinforced to believe that our God is only a punishing God and that, at a deep level, we feel that we can never be worthy of Awakening. God is neutral. God doesn’t judge. We judge. The truth is that God spontaneously awakens whomever she chooses and whenever she chooses to do it. God does not keep a scorecard. I recently met a young Indian saint who used an analogy to make this point. He said, “The sun rises over the castle and the gutter in the same way. It is just the sun. It doesn’t shine any brighter over the castle. Awakening is like the sun. Awakening is not a function of this world and it shines without any discrimination.” He told me that westerners should learn to see God as their best friend and that God loves them so much and has been silently by their side guiding them all along.

Why is God holding back my manifestations?

The concept of holding back does not exist. It is purely a notion that we have invented. What is happening is just Nature’s perfect process of unfoldment. We cannot see why things are as they are. This is because for most of us, our perspectives are very limited. We are sure that Nature is trying to retard our progress. We are sure that we are doing things wrong. We are sure that we are not being supported or that Nature is actually mad at us. This is again a notion. There is no truth to this. God loves us beyond measure. That is the only truth. God is constantly looking out for our best interests. It is hard for us to see this. Christ was nailed to a cross but he knew God loved him and that his crucifixion was a perfect gift. He knew this because he had already faced off with himself. He did this during his 40 days and 40 nights in the desert. He challenged himself. He faced his fears. He let his doubts swallow him whole. What happened? He found that, at a very fundamental level, he did not change. He saw that he was still the same no matter what he went through. He became identified with this sameness. He realized that the sameness, the never-changing aspect of himself, was God and, at that moment, he became identified with his Godhood. Once we experience our Godhood, there is no more suffering. Life will still happen to us but we will experience Divinity in each happening. What happens to us is not the point. The point is to experience Divinity in each moment. The point is to experience that what is happening to our finances or our relationships or whatever, is all just an expression of God’s limitless love for us. That is the essence of God-realization.

What is God-realization?

There is a point where the “I” sense simply vanishes into the love of God and one begins to become aware that God is the only reality. Waves of Divinity are then perceived everywhere, permeating everything and God becomes the default owner of every act. Life is seen as a wonderful dance of Divine energies and there is only the unending joy of the dance. Think about it. If you are God, then what you experience is also God. You come to realize that you have constructed this existence out of your own Self. You are this. You are that. You are God and there has only ever been you experiencing you. The mechanics of everything in existence are now within your personal control. This is why it takes only the slightest intention within a God-realized individual to produce any miracle.

Q) Why is man insensitive?

A) Man believes that he is sensing from a central core. So he feels that he must protect himself from that which is outside of this core. He accomplishes this by limiting the amount of sense information he allows himself to experience in any given moment. The end result is that man senses very little. He is insensitive. The mistake is that there is no core to defend.

Q) Should love be a continuous process?

A) Yes, it should be continuous but love is a blessing from the Divine. Your present love is conditional. It has peaks and troughs because it is associated with the core belief that you exist. Unconditional permanent love can exist only in a heart that has flowered through Divine Grace.

Q) Why has modern man become incapable of love?

A) You are implying that ancient man could love but he somehow lost that ability along the way. I agree. Modern man knows too much to love. He has lost his innocence. He has developed this propensity to think his world to death. He has squeezed every last drop of love out of his life. He has become dry and barren and alone as a result. Modern man comes to see me so that I can show him a way to think his way to love. I ruin his plan. I force him to experience this moment. I force him to experience that this moment IS love.

Q) Can problems be solved through thinking?

A) What do you think? You will think yes or no or maybe or something in between. You certainly can find solutions using the mind. That is what the mind was originally intended for. Mind was a mechanism to get things done. Mind was the Soul’s servant in this world. But the mind began to identify itself as the doer. This misunderstanding created a myriad of problems which the mind can’t solve. Only Grace can intervene to set the whole thing straight again.

Q) Is there one self or are there many selves?

A) Which self is asking the question? Which self is answering the question? Which self will think about the answer next week? Which self will come up with another question? Which self will die in the end? There is just One Self and it never needs to ask a question. This One Self will never die because it was never born in the first place. This Self is the One without a second.

Q) What is this sense of a separate existence?

A) The sense of separation is due to a neurophysiologic defect which has developed over the course of time. Chemistry has created a gap in our experience. We feel estranged from a sense of wholeness. To use a metaphor, we have been thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Only Grace can transcend this gap. The Divine must intervene. Only the Divine is capable of rewiring the brain back to assume its original configuration.

Q) Are you an Awakened One? Can you describe your present experience?

A) This morning, I am observing this body of mine. These fingers are tapping on the laptop keyboard. Oxygenated blood is feeding the cells of the fingers. Electrical signals signifying the sensation of touch are racing to my brain. But something has happened to my brain. A functional shift has taken place. My brain is interpreting data differently. Now the tapping is perceived in a dramatically unique fashion. For lack of a better word, I would describe the new style of brain interpretation as Divine. There is a sense that Divine fingers are doing the tapping and that Divine nerves are sending electrical signals to a Divine brain. There is the sense that these physical processes are no longer the sole property of my body/mind. This experience is not an intellectual interpretation. Rather, it is a direct experience that I am living continually. It is an all-encompassing experience. That is, all of the data from my mind, thoughts, senses, personality and from the entire external world is immersed in a sense of unified wholeness that, to me, could only have originated in the Divine. This experience that I am living in is so wonderful but I just cannot express it to you properly because it is really not within the realm of language. The best way that I can put it is that my consciousness is just brimming with joy and intelligence. It is as if God herself opened the cosmic floodgates and heaven is just pouring through my body/mind. The holy ones from ancient times used words for it like Samadhi, Satori, Nirvana or Rapture. All cultures speak of this state and I can see that the great religions of the world probably had their foundations in such an experience.
