At the surface, the mind plays so many games thinking, imagining, dreaming, giving suggestions. But deep inside, the mind remains a prisoner of its own habit pattern, and the habit pattern of the deepest level of the mind is to feel sensations and react. If the sensations are pleasant, the mind reacts with craving; if they are unpleasant, it reacts with aversion.

The enlightenment of the Buddha was to go to the root of the problem. Unless we work at the root level, we will be dealing only with the intellect and only this part of the mind will be purified. As long as the roots of a tree are healthy they will provide healthy sap for the entire tree. So start working with the roots. This was the enlightenment of the Buddha.

When he gave Dhamma, the Noble Eightfold Path the path of sīla (morality), samādhi (mastery over the mind) and paññā (experiential wisdom) it was not to establish a cult, a dogma or a belief. Dhamma is a practical path. Those who walk on it can go to the deepest level and eradicate all their miseries.

Those who have really liberated themselves will understand that going to the depth of the mind making a surgical operation of the mind has to be done by oneself, by each individual. Someone can guide you with love and compassion; someone can help you in your journey on the path, but nobody can carry you on their shoulders and say: "I will take you to the final goal, just surrender to me; I will do everything."

You are responsible for your own bondage. You are responsible for making your mind impure, no one else. You are responsible for purifying your mind by breaking all the bondages. No one else can do that for you.

Continuity of practice is the secret of success. When it is said that you should be continuously aware, this means that you must be aware with wisdom of the sensations on the body, where you really experience things arising and passing away. The awareness of anicca is what purifies your mind, the awareness of the arising and passing away of these sensations.

Intellectualising this truth will not help. You may understand: "Everything that arises sooner or later passes away. Anyone who takes birth sooner or later dies. This is anicca." You may understand this correctly but you are not experiencing it. Only your own personal experience will help you to purify your mind and liberate you from your miseries. The word for "experience" used in India at the time of Buddha was vedanā, feeling by experiencing, not just intellectualisation. And this is possible only when a sensation is felt on the body.

Anicca must be experienced. If you are not experiencing it, it is merely a theory. And the Buddha was not interested in theories. Even before the Buddha, and at the time of the Buddha, there were teachers who taught that the entire universe is anicca; this was not new. What was new from the Buddha was the experience of anicca; and when you experience it within the framework of your own body, you have started working at the deepest level of your mind.

Two things are very important for those who walk on the path. The first is breaking the barrier that divides the conscious and the unconscious mind. But even if your conscious mind can now feel those sensations that were previously felt only by the deep unconscious part of your mind, that alone will not help you. The Buddha wanted you to take a second step: change the mind’s habit of reacting at the deepest level.

Coming to the stage where you have started feeling sensations is a good first step, yet the habit pattern of reaction remains. When you feel an unpleasant sensation, if you keep reacting, "Oh, I must get rid of this," that will not help. If you start feeling a pleasant flow of very subtle vibrations throughout the body, and you react, "Ah, wonderful! This is what I was looking for. Now I’ve got it!" you have not understood Vipassana at all.

What if the universe isn’t “out there” but within you? The Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood reveals a truth so profound it rewrites existence: You are a microcosm of the macrocosm—a living, breathing replica of the cosmos. The sun, moon, and stars aren’t just celestial bodies; they’re mirrors of your soul, mind, and essence.

The Cosmic Blueprint: As Above, So Below

The ancient axiom “As above, so below” is not a poetic metaphor—it’s a cosmic law. The Atlanteans understood that every human is a miniature universe. Your heart beats like a pulsar. Your neurons fire like constellations. The universe isn’t something you observe—it’s something you are.

Modern science confirms this: the elements in your body—carbon, oxygen, iron—were forged in the hearts of dying stars. You are not just made of stardust; you are stardust awakened. The Brotherhood teaches: To know yourself is to know the cosmos.

The Sun and Moon Within: Your Spiritual and Intellectual Essence

The sun and moon are not just celestial neighbors—they’re symbols of your inner duality.

The Sun: Your spiritual essence, the eternal, unchanging core of your being. Like the sun, it radiates light unconditionally. It doesn’t waver, dim, or seek validation. The Atlanteans called this the Inner Radiance—the divine spark that connects you to the source of all creation.

The Moon: Your intellect, the reflective, ever-changing aspect of your mind. The moon has no light of its own; it borrows from the sun. Similarly, your intellect is a tool, not the source. It’s meant to reflect your spiritual essence, not replace it.

Modern society glorifies the moon (intellect) while ignoring the sun (spirit). We worship logic, data, and reason but dismiss intuition, love, and faith. The Brotherhood warns: A life led by the moon alone is a life in shadows.

The Controversial Truth: You Are the Universe Experiencing Itself

The Atlanteans didn’t see humans as separate from the cosmos—they saw them as expressions of it. Your joy is a supernova. Your grief is a black hole. Your breath is the cosmic wind. The universe isn’t something you’re in—it’s something you do.

This truth terrifies institutions. A person who realizes their cosmic nature cannot be controlled. They don’t fear death, taxes, or damnation—they know they are eternal.

How to Align with Your Cosmic Self

Meditate on the sun and moon: Visualize the sun as your spirit, radiant and unchanging. See the moon as your mind, reflecting that light.

Honor your body as a microcosm: Treat it as the sacred temple it is—nourish it, move it, and listen to its wisdom.

Live the axiom: “As above, so below.” Align your actions with cosmic principles: love, balance, and unity.

The Ultimate Revelation: You Are the Universe Awake

The Atlanteans didn’t worship gods—they recognized divinity within. Their temples were not stone but the human heart. To realize your cosmic nature is to awaken the universe within you.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the ocean in a drop.

What if the key to knowing yourself isn’t gaining more knowledge—but letting go of it? The Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood reveals a truth so radical it rewrites the spiritual playbook: To truly know yourself, you must first ‘die’ to everything you think you know.

The Paradox of Self-Knowledge: Letting Go to Find Yourself

Grand Master WaXhira teaches that self-knowledge isn’t found in books, teachings, or external wisdom. It’s found in the act of surrender—of laying down all other knowledge. The Atlanteans called this the great unlearning: the process of shedding the layers of identity, belief, and conditioning that obscure your true nature.

Jesus’ resurrection wasn’t just a miracle—it was a metaphor. To rise, you must first die. Not physically, but spiritually. You must let go of the “dead”—the shadows of ego, fear, and illusion—and embrace the reality of life and truth.

The Controversial Truth: You Are the Seeker and the Sought

The journey to self-discovery isn’t about finding something new. It’s about realizing what’s always been there. The Atlanteans taught: “You are not a seeker of truth. You are truth, seeking itself.”

Modern spirituality often promotes the accumulation of knowledge—more books, more teachings, more practices. The Brotherhood warns: This is a trap. True knowledge of self comes not from addition but subtraction. It’s not about filling the cup but emptying it.

Why Society Fears the Death of the Ego

The world thrives on your attachment to identity. It sells you labels, roles, and beliefs to keep you distracted from your true nature. The Atlanteans warned: “A society that fears the death of the ego is a society that fears freedom.”

But here’s the scandalous part: The ego isn’t your enemy. It’s a tool, a mask. The problem isn’t the mask—it’s forgetting you’re wearing one.

How to Die and Rise Again

Let go of labels: Release the roles, titles, and identities that define you.

Embrace the unknown: Surrender the need for certainty and control.

Meditate on the self: In stillness, the mind’s chatter fades, and the soul’s voice becomes clear.

The Brotherhood’s Invitation: Die to Live

The Atlanteans didn’t worship gods—they revered the process of death and rebirth. Their rituals weren’t about escaping life but embracing it fully. A storm wasn’t chaos—it was the universe shedding its old skin. A sunrise wasn’t routine—it was the cosmos rising anew.

Grand Master WaXhira teaches: “The journey isn’t about avoiding death. It’s about using it to awaken to life.”

The Final Revelation: You Are the Resurrection

The same power that resurrected Jesus resides in you. You are not a flawed being in need of fixing. You are a divine being in need of remembering. You are not the seeker. You are the sought.
