Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten in Stockholm

 

Be a Light to Yourself 

SA TSANG

with

“It is astonishing to realize that

growing up actually means to

become one with Existence. It

means to find the whole Existence

within myself; it means to

discover that Existence is alive in

my own heart and being.

The song of a  bird echoes my own

inner voice, the beauty of a flower

reflects my own inner beauty, a

dog becomes an expression of my

own unconditional love and

friendship, the majestic

mountains create an ecstatic joy,

and I discover all the shining stars

of the sky within my own heart.

It is to realize that the whole

Existence is alive, and that the

underlying thread of

consciousness is God.”

- Swami Dhyan Giten

During the autumn 2013, there will be an opportunity for Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten during 10 Thursday evenings in Stockholm. Satsang is a meeting in silence and truth. Satsang is a love, a meditation and an energy transference. Satsang is a direct insight and experience of our inner being, of our authentic self.

This Satsang-series has been given the theme “Be a light to yourself”, and during these evenings Giten will also lecture about the eight steps of the yoga tradition to enlightenment, where there will be an opportunity to ask questions about spiritual growth. In between the evenings, practical exercises and meditation will also be recommended to integrate these 8 steps deeply into your daily life. It is an opportunity to reinforce your intention to awakening, to enlightenment.

This Satsang-series also include an individual consultation with Giten for spiritual guidance. Sometimes psychological factors can hinder us from being in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, so for them that wish further time and space to explore what stands in the way of being in contact with their inner being, there is also an opportunity to book additional consultations with Giten. This can also deepen the experience of Satsang.


This is an invitation to the sincere seeker of love and truth.

Swami Dhyan Giten’s book “Presence – Working from Within: The Psychology of Being”

 


SWAMI DHYAN GITEN’S

BOOK PRESENCE – WORKING

FROM WITHIN: THE

PSYCHOLOGY OF BEING  IN

PAPERBACK

Spiritual therapy works basically because we are all one. In the depth of our heart and being, we are in contact with each other. We are in contact with each other in the ocean of consciousness.


This book is basically about love. It is designed to help us understand how healing happens. Healing is pure love. Healing and wholeness happens when we meet the love within ourselves.
Working with people from love, truth and wholeness is the psychology of being, the science of inner transformation. The psychology of being begins where Western psychology ends. It goes beyond Skinner, Freud, Jung, Rogers and Humanistic psychology.

The psychology of being is the psychology of consciousness, a psychology for inner transformation. It is basically not a question of psychology; it is a question of being. The psychology of being begins where we are and takes us to that which we can be.
This book is designed to help us develop our presence, so that our presence and intuition becomes a source of love, joy, acceptance, understanding, truth, silence, wisdom and creativity in the contact with another person.


This book presents a new dimension of healing with a base in meditation. Meditation is the way to deepen our capacity to be present and to explore how to bring the meditative presence and quality into the healing and therapeutic process. The underlying theme of the book is meditation – but not meditation as a static technique – but as the capacity to BE with ourselves and with another person in a quality of watchful awareness, acceptance and relaxation.
This book is written both for people who want to discover their own inner being and for those who work with other people and wants to discover a new love, clarity, depth and inspiration in their professional work.


The different topics of the book are combined with practical exercises.
 

Presence – Working from Within is

more than a book about presence,

but a manual in the art of unlocking

the Soul’s Presence within the

Personality.”

Question 2




Past life

- The Spiritual Journey to

Awakening


Very interesting and thought-provoking. But the reasons/causes for the desire/urge to mentally reach a higher level of consciousness,and who could be those fortunate ones needs to be explained/clarified.Obviously this path is only meant for a few who can progress and have the potential to reach the exalted goal of Bliss. Can past life experiences/knowledge have a role,and how to ascertain that?Shall be thankful for enlightenment on this.

Mrityunjoy Chakravarty, India






















Dear Mrityunjoy Chakravarty,

What is past life? How do past lives and spiritual growth relate to each other? How can memories of past lives teach us to live more present in the here and now? We are all ancient people. Nobody is new here.

Life’s only law is change. Everything is continuously changing, evolving and developing. Hindus say that it takes 840 million lives to become a human being, which emphasises the precious gift of being a human being. But most people waste this precious gift of life. Instead of recognizing the possibility to search for God, for the divine, for true happiness, people waste their lives striving and fighting for power, money, position or fame.

We have been living lives as stones, flowers, trees and animals in order to develop our consciousness. Stones, flowers and animals also have consciousness. The more matter, the less consciousness. The more consciousness, the less matter. God is not a person, God is the underlying thread of consciousness in Existence.

The stones, flowers and trees live below the mind, the animals live by their instincts, man lives in the mind and the awakened one lives beyond the mind. All stones, flowers, trees, animals and human beings are on a spiritual journey to become awakened, to become enlightened. I remember sitting and meditating beside a slow flowing river in India, and I got the feeling that this river could teach me all the secrets of the mystery of life. If we learn to surrender to a stone, a flower or a river, it becomes a door to the Whole. The whole can be found in the part, and the part can be found in the whole. With this vision, we understand that every place is a spiritual place. A spiritual man is happy with the whole existence. He says “yes” to the whole existence.

The current climate change is an outer mirror of our inner consciousness. It is an outer mirror of our attitude to try to conquer nature, instead of being in harmony with nature, but in the end the part can never conquer the whole.

Try as a meditation, to be with a stone, a flower or a tree, and you will find that they have consciousness. If you become friend with a tree, you will find that the tree will welcome you as a friend. The tree will be happy to see you.

My basic profession is as an actor, and I have learnt much about life through working as an actor. Working as an actor is really a spiritual profession, since it means to create life on the stage. It means to play a role totally, while at the same time you know deep down inside yourself that you are not the role that you are playing. Working as an actor gave me early a spiritual discipline, which taught me a lot about awareness and meditation. Life is also about learning to play different roles, and learning to change between different roles with the same easiness that you change shirt.

It is the same situation with past lives. Through becoming conscious about different roles that we play in different life situations, we can create a distance to these roles. Memories from past lives can also make us aware that we have lived before, and that there is a part of ourselves that survive death, and which belong to the deathless and the eternal within ourselves.

The door to memories of past lives is to create a conscious relationship to death. To remember past lives, we need to develop a conscious relationship to death, since past lives, per definition, means that we die. The whole theme of past lives is often surrounded with fear, since it basically means that we need to accept that we die. Meditation is the way to create a conscious relationship to death. The key to meditation is commitment, regularity and a quality of heart.

Many times we can get an intuitive feeling that we already know a person, who we have just met. Through an understanding of past lives, we can find a relevant explanation for this feeling.

Nature is also wise in her gifts. Nature do not give gifts, which we are not ripe for, and which do not have meaning for us. Before memories from past lives has any deeper meaning for us, we first need to be clear with the basic themes of our life, for example our relationship to ourselves, our relationship to other people and our relationship to creativity. Past lives is not a way to escape from life, it is a way of understanding life and ourselves in a deeper way.

It is nothing sensational about memories from past lives, but it gives us a deeper understanding of life. We have not been more awake in a past life, than we are in this life. What keeps us in the continuous circle of life and death, of rebirth and death, is desires and identification with personality aspects. The door to freedom from being reborn is to discover our authentic inner being, the meditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life. Each life is like the pearls of a necklace, while the thread that keep the pearls together, is like the successive growth of the inner being towards spiritual maturity, towards enlightenment, towards awakening.

The whole meaning of past lives are that we grow and develop until we finally discover the inner being, our authentic self, where we already are one with life. From the limited perspective of a single life, and with our limited physical vision, different phenomenons in life can be difficult to understand. But with the understanding and perspective of past lives, we can see life in a another light. We can see life with a deeper vision and with a broader understanding. It is like the difference between seeing life from the limited perspective of the valley, and to view life from the vision of the summit of the mountain.

Buddha’s insight about past lives was that no real spiritual growth can happen before we know our past lives. It is first when we know our inner potential, and we know where we come from, that we know where we are going.


Pointers about past life

1. Past life has nothing to do with a belief in reincarnation, past life is about a direct insight. Through direct insight, no belief is necessary. There is not really necessary to legitimate memories as past lives. When we go deeper into ourselves, memories come up from the subconscious. These memories has meaning and relevance independent if we label those memories as past life or not. We do not really need to believe in past lives, we can just allow these memories to arise in our consciousness. Through not labelling these memories as past lives, and through staying open in a quality of “not knowing”, we can continue to be open for the truth.

2. Accept the fact that past life means that we die.

3. We do not need to engage ourselves emotionally in the memories of past lives. It is more about observing these memories with presence, understanding and awareness.

4. Memories of past lives often follow how we live our present life. If we, for example, live a safe and secure life in our present life, we will probably attract memories from safe and secure lives in the past. If we are angry and insecure in the present life, we will probably attract similar memories and experiences from past lives.

5. When memories from past lives arise in your consciousness, see what the life lesson is in that life. See what you should learn in that life. See also if there is a relation between themes in the past life, and in how you live your present life. See what you have chosen up to now, and what your choices and possibilities are in the present life.


My memories from past lives

A beloved friend since many lives told me that she had a consultation with a medium, and somehow they began to talk about me. I laughed when she told me that the medium had described me as “an old soul.”

A valuable insight through past lives was that I discovered that I consciously has chosen to walk the path of teacher since several lives to learn to teach and communicate with people on a subtle and deeper level. This conscious choice to walk the path of a teacher includes past lives as a Tibetan monk and counsellor in Dalai Lamas’s residence Potala, a district Pharaoh in Egypt, a medicine man among Sioux Indians in USA, a medical doctor in USA and two lives in England as an abbedissa at a convent and as a teacher at Oxford University.

My earliest memory of past lives comes from the ancient continent Atlantis, where I was very tall man. Atlantis was a culture of a very high spiritual and material development, which was divided into two different races: priests and workers. The priests had a average height of 2 meters, and had a trunk-like development around the nose through which they communicated by telepathy.

In Tibet, I sat in the reception in a religious monastery for 8 years. My work was to ascertain the spiritual development of the new adepts to see if they should be accepted into the monastery. After 8 years in the monastery, I became tired of rules and seriousness, instead of love and humour. After much conflict, I left the monastery. Frustrated I walked around India, searching for a spiritual truth which I did not really know what it was, until my death.

In the catacombs of Colosseum in Rome, I escaped as one of the first Christians and disciples of Jesus. Later I was caught and thrown to the lions.

In the Golden Town in Egypt, I was a districts Pharaoh, whose life lesson was to rule with love and compassion.

In the town Constantinople in Turkey, I was a seller of authentic carpets and a Sufi mystic.

In one life, I was a medicine man among Sioux Indians in USA. A wise 80 year old Indian with a stone face, who in periods went out alone in nature for three days to meditate and receive guidance from The Great Spirit to bring back to the tribe.

In the next life, I was a medical doctor and surgeon in New York. My office was full with Indian tools for healing, and I secretly healed patients despite the fact that this was strictly forbidden according to the regulations. I never felt at home in New York, because I had a strong longing to be closer to nature. That this longing came from living my whole past life out in nature was nothing that I was not aware of then.

I also lived in England during two lives. In one life, I was an abbedissa at a convent, and in one life I was a stern but much loved teacher for boys at The Oxford University.

In Scotland, I was a farmer, and in this life nothing more exciting happened except than drinking tea with my wife in the evenings.

In Paris, I was an artist, who committed suicide.

In my last life, I was a disciple to the Russian enlightened Master George Gurdjieff in St Petersburg in Russia. I also discovered that my early passion for theater in this life was because theater was the only spiritual discipline that I recognized early in this life. Gurdjieff used very intensive theater methods to teach his disciples in meditation.


Examples of aspects from past lives in individual consultations and courses

After first opening the door to remember my own past lives, the door also opened to see the past life of others. To see aspects from past lives is not something that I focus on during an individual consultation or a course, but if aspects of past lives comes up authentically during an individual consultation or a course, then this can be relevant and meaningful for the other person in his present life.

In the following two examples from individual consultations, aspects of past lives has been relevant for the other person and it has provided keys to understanding for the other person in his present life. It is also interesting to see that there may be conscious choices and patterns, which are like an underlying thread through several lives.

In these consultations, I made an intuitive and clairvoyant energy reading of the development of the other person’s chakra system and the balance between his inner man and woman to make a general assessment of the person’s general level of awareness and spiritual growth.

The human aura is the energy field, which surrounds a person and which also relates to the development of the chakra system. Different chakras can also have different colours, which stands for different psychological and spiritual themes and qualities.

What are the path of love and the path of meditation? There are basically two different paths to enlightenment. These two paths are The path of love and The path of meditation. The path of love is the female path to enlightenment and The path of meditation is the male path to enlightenment. The path of love is the path of love, joy, relationships, devotion and surrender. The path of meditation is the path of meditation, silence, aloneness and freedom. These two paths have different ways, but they have the same goal. Through love and surrender the person that walks The path of love discovers the inner silence. Through meditation and aloneness the person that walks The path of meditation discovers the inner source of love. These two paths are like climbing the mountain of enlightenment through different routes, but the two paths are meeting on the summit of the mountain – and discover an inner integration between love and meditation, between relating and aloneness.

Before I accept to work with a student now, I also make an intuitive and clairvoyant evaluation about which spiritual paths that the student has walked before in previous lives. This intuitive assessment give information about the spiritual level that the student has attained, and it also makes it easier to guide the person spiritually if he has followed a certain path in the past.

A female student of mine laughed recently when I told her that she had followed The path of love in several past lives. She commented: “You have told me three times now that I have walked the path of love and silence, but with my head I still do not understand it.” But this overall assessment of her spiritual growth until now, and of the spiritual paths that she had walked, made all the pieces of her life puzzle fit together – and brought a new, creative light to all her life choices in her current life. A male student of mine, who was a Tibetan monk in a previous life, walks The path of meditation, and I notice how I change my language and the methods that I recommend when I guide him along the path of meditation. I now work with students who walk both The path of love and The path of meditation, which also allows me to discover a deeper integration of love and meditation on my path to enlightenment.

For more information about how to ascertain past life experience and intuitive energy reading, I would also like to recommend my book “Presence – Working from Within. The Psychology of Being” (the book is available on the international book site Lulu.com).


For secrecy reasons, the names of the persons in these examples has been changed.


Example 1: Michael, 25 years

With Michael, I could see a pattern of 5 past lives, where he worked as a medical doctor and healer with focus on service to other people.

In one life, he was a traditional medical doctor and worked in a hospital in USA. His life lesson in this life was to learn what is basically healing in the relation between doctor and patient. In the next life he took a deeper step in this pattern, and worked as a natural doctor and healer on Hawaii. He worked close to people in a small village, where the mother’s came with their sick children. His ways of working in this life was psychic diagnosis, intuition and healing.

During the consultation with Michael, I could see that he had a very large and light-blue aura, which gave me the feeling of clarity and service to people. His heart- and throat chakra both had a green colour, and gave me a feeling of healing qualities.


Example 2: Bob, 32 years

With Bob, I could see that he had a great depth, and that he was an old and experienced soul, who had walked on earth many times.

When I first looked at his past lives, it was like playing a slot machine, and see the wheels turn life by life. But finally the wheels slowed down, and focused on two past lives. The first life was in Egypt, where he was a man with a lot of power and influence over people. The second life was his last life before the present life, where he was a captain on a ship in England.

I could see that he had a pattern of six lives in power positions, where his life lesson was to learn to handle power, and to learn that real power is love and compassion. I could also see that he would be attracted to similar positions again until he had learnt this life lesson.

In his aura, I could see that the largest field was light purple with two smaller green fields on the sides. From this I draw the conclusion that the green fields would mean a healing process of going deeper within himself. This would mean that the colour and the quality of the purple field would become darker. This gave me the feeling of a mystic, and that his next step in learning to handle power, would be through intuition and psychic powers. This would teach him that the active component behind clairvoyance is love and compassion.

Swami Dhyan Giten on the World: International Banks Call for Fascism in Europe

 
J.P. Morgan, London 




SWAMI DHYAN GITEN ON THE WORLD:

INTERNATIONAL BANKS CALL FOR FASCISM





Truth

“Truth is a quality in the moment. It arises when we have trust in what happens
and are in contact with what Existence wants us to do. 
This quality makes the moment shine with a joy and inner satisfaction.”
 
Swami Dhyan Giten
 


From the book The Silent Whisperings of the Heart - 
An Introduction to Giten’s Approach to Life 
(available in paperback at the international book site Lulu.com)



The international bank J.P. Morgan states in a recent report that fascism is needed in Europe. J.P. Morgan also states in a 16-page report issued on May 28, entitled, “The Euro Area Adjustment: About Halfway There”, that there is too much democracy in Europe, and that fascism is needed to impose the kind of economical austerity that Europe needs.


The startling new feature of J.P. Morgan’s report is its claim that the problem with imposing austerity is not just fiscal discipline, but that there is too much democracy in some of the European countries today, in comparison to the 1930s fascist constitutions of southern Europe.  J.P. Morgan financed Hitler and Mussolini to come to power and introduce fascism during the economical depression in the 1930s, and now they are again calling for the same solution.  

Reports states that 4000 people have committed suicide in Greece due to the economical austerity measures, but the banks are not satisfied and J.P. Morgan says in this report that Europe is only about halfway through the period of adjustment.  

The recent revelations about the mass surveillance of the American intelligence agency NSA (together with the Internet companies Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Skype) are only the tip of the ice berg. This mass surveillance is just a tool to create the global, fascistic dictatorship and the global electronic police state, which is the goal of the Bilderberg group. The Bilderberg group consists of the international banks, the war industrial complex, the international media and the global companies. 

Bilderbergs annual meeting is also attended by democratically elected politicians from all over the world, who agree not to disclose what is discussed to their voters. President Eisenhower warned against the war industrial complex as a threat to democracy, and President John F. Kennedy warned against what he called “a secret conspiracy against democracy”. 

J.P. Morgan is members of the Bilderberg group, and the directors of CIA, NSA and NATO are in attendance at Bilderbergs annual meetings. Google and Facebook are also members of the Bilderberg group. 

Sweden is not a democracy any longer. The rift between the political and economical elite and the people has never been larger. 7 of 10 new laws in Sweden come from the EU-dictatorship, which is a Bilderberg project planned during the 1950s and aimed at destroying the sovereignty of the European countries, and moving the power away from the people in order to create their goal of a global dictatorship. The political elite in Sweden is now working for topics that 80 % of the people are strongly against. 

The Socialdemocratic party and the conservative party has been attending Bilderberg’s annual meetings since the 1950s. The current Swedish leader of the Socialdemocratic party, Stefan Lofven, attended Bilderbergs meeting in London 2013. After the meeting, the Socialdemocratic party, wants Sweden to join NATO, the army of Bilderbergs global dictatorship, which a large majority of the Swedish people are strongly against. Lofven was also asked for a comment about the mass surveillance of NSA and his answer was that he had no opinion, which shows the complete absence of integrity and substance in Swedish politics.

Swami Dhyan Giten: Light on the Path – Giten answers your questions on spiritual growth and meditation

Swami Dhyan Giten: Light on
the Path

Swami Dhyan Giten answers your questions on meditation and spiritual growth.


Light on the Path is an invitation, which can bring light on your path to inner awakening. It is an invitation, which can help you to discover the inner being, the meditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness, the boundless and unlimited source of creativity, both in relation to ourselves, in relation to other people, in relation to creativity and in relation to Existence.

Your question will be published in Giten’s Newsletter, The Giten Blog and Giten’s spiritual blog on The Times of India. Your questions will be answered on these pages depending on when when Existence is ready to respond and the amount of questions.

You can send your questions to Giten on the following adress:  swami.dhyan.giten@gmail.com


The first question is presented below.





MEDITATION AND MUSIC:

FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO

THE UNIVERSAL


Question 1.


Hi Dear Giten,

Please could you kindly clarify ‘silence’ i.e is that the same as the Sound of Silence (what I term the subtle sound called silence, or sometimes called the Nada Sound)? I practice listening to the Sound of Silence, but although I’ve known this since childhood I’ve only in recent years realised the deep significance of this as a spiritual practice for meditation and meditative living during normal daily active life. Is this what you are also referring too? My Kind regards and deep respect,

George

Dear George,

Thank you for your question. I laughed when I read your question as several of my students are musicians, and the title of my first book in Swedish is Song of Meditation: On Meditation, Relationships and Spiritual Creativity. Music and Meditation are really two aspects of the same phenomenon. Music and meditation are two sides of the same coin. Meditation is the roots and music is the flower.

Indian yogis say that the universe consists of sound, while the scientists say that the universe consists of electricity. They are both right as they look at the universe from two different standpoints. The Buddhist meditation method the Sound of Silence consists of learning to listen to universal sound that yogis talk about as the base of the universe.

The Sound of Silence is still a meditation method, and is not the same as what I refer to as silence. Sound of Silence is a meditation method, where you use the inner sound as the object for meditation. The overall object of meditation is learning to understand the mind, and to develop our inner being, the meditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life.

In our spiritual growth and in meditation, we travel through 4 levels of consciousness: 1. The conscious level 2. The subconscious 3. The unconscious and 4. The superconscious. The conscious level concists of what we identify as ourselves and of our desires, the second level the subconscious is everything that we deny about ourselves and has hidden in the basement of our consciousness, the third level the unconscious consists of our real needs that refers to the body and the fourth level the superconscious is the dimension of being. It is the level of samadhi, of inner silence and emptiness, where we become one with Existence.

In my work with students, I combine therapy with meditation to allow the students to step by step create the love, awareness and understanding to go through these four levels of consciousness.

The spiritual growth is also dependent on the commitment of the student. On the conscious level, the student finds the trust to his spiritual growth. On the subconscious level, he finds the love to go deeper in himself. On the unconscious level, he discovers the surrender to life. And on the superconscious level, he becomes one with life.

In India, there are two concepts: dhyana and samadhi. Dhyana means meditation, which means to use a meditation method to learn to understand and witness the mind, and to develop the inner being. Samadhi means the pure being, the inner silence and emptiness, where we disappear into silence and move from the individual to the universal. In samadhi, meditation is no longer necessary as we have become meditation.

Swami Dhyan Giten: Intuition – Trusting Your Self

Intuition
 - Trusting Your Self

Swami Dhyan Giten 

An excerpt from the book The Silent Whisperings of the Heart – An Introduction to Giten’s Approach to Life

Intuition means to learn to listen to the silent whisperings of our own heart.

Intuition is our inner teacher, our inner source of love, truth and wisdom, in life.

Intuition basically means to develop a deeper trust in ourselves. Intuition means to develop a deeper trust in our heart and inner being.

Intuition is basically a function of our heart and the heart is the door to develop our intuition.

Intuition is a “yes” to life. Intuition means to develop a trust to life. Intuition means to learn to listen to life. When we allow ourselves to follow the silent whisperings of our heart, the fragrance of love arises.

Life is like playing “hide the key” with God. God has hidden the key and now it is up to us to find the key again. It also takes us a while to realize that the key is hidden in our own heart. Our heart is the door to allow life to guide us. Our heart is the door to say “yes” to life. Our heart is the door to surrender to life.

Intuition means to follow the silent whispers of the inner in a basic “yes” to life.

Life is really very simple. In each moment, we have the opportunity to choose between saying “yes” or “no”, to listen to our intuition, to listen to our true inner voice, the Existential voice within ourselves. When we say “yes”, we have contact with Existence and we receive nourishment, love, joy, support and inspiration. When we say “no”, we create a separation from life and begin to create dreams and expectations of how it should be. We begin to live in the memories of the past and in the fantasies of the future – as if any other time than here and now really could make us happy and satisfied.

Life is our teacher. Life communicates with us all the time and it is a lesson to see how life continuously have led me to the people I need to met, to the situations I need to experience, and to the places I need to be. There has never been any real reason to worry since all small individual rivers are already on their way to the ocean, to the Whole. It is not about swimming, it is about relaxing and to float with the river in a basic trust that life already leads towards the sea of consciousness, towards the Whole.

Intuition means to develop a trust in ourselves

Intuition means to know from within ourselves. Intuition is our true inner voice, our Socratic Daimonion, our inner teacher.

Intuition is about being present and taking creative decisions.

Through learning to listen to our own intuition, it develops to a constantly available inner source of love, truth and wisdom. We can close our eyes, go within, and always receive the right guidance.

Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now.

Intuition means to develop a trust in ourselves, a trust in our own joy, intelligence and creativity, a trust in our own individuality.

The intellect gives insight, logic and understanding, the heart gives joy, acceptance, trust, intuition, compassion, friendship, playfulness, humor, creativity and a sense of oneness in love and the inner being gives silence, a rest in ourselves, meditation and a sense of belongingness with life.

The human heart is a healer, which heals both others and ourselves.

The human heart operates from two premises: “I Am Responsible” and “Only Love Works.

Love is what creates the freedom and relaxation to be who we really are.

The greatest gift we can give to another person is our love.

In the depth of our heart, we already know that we are perfect as we are. In the depth of our inner being, we already know that life is perfect as it is.

Fear and hate create separation, love and joy creates belongingness and wholeness.

Acceptance means to learn to love and respect ourselves as we are.

Acceptance is to love and embrace everything that we find within ourselves like a mother embraces her child.

When we stop judging others and ourselves, our heart begins to open.

Acceptance means to bring out everything from inside ourselves out in the light.

Everything we give love and attention to grows and develops.

Meditation is the way to develop the inner clarity, which is the base to develop our intuition.

Intuition is a capacity of our heart. Our heart is the door to allowing Existence to guide us, instead of being directed by our ideas, desires and expectations. Since the days of Aristotle’s, we have been taught that logic is the only way to reach a solution. But while logic works in a step-by-step-process to reach a solution, intuition simply takes a quantum leap to a solution without any intermediate steps.

To see life from the perspective of intuition is to have vision. To see life from the perspective of intuition is to see life from the perspective of wholeness. It is to understand that life is basically one and that we are part of life. While the intellect can only see the details, intuition sees the whole. To see life from the perspective of intuition is like looking at life from the summit of the mountain, whereas seeing life only from the perspective of intellect is like looking at life from the foot of the mountain. Through learning to listen to our intuition, we learn to be in contact with the Whole.

We all have the same capacity to develop our intuition. Meditation and love are the basic nourishment to develop our intuition. People with a quality of heart are often intuitive.

Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. While the intellect always moves like the pendulum of a clock between the memories of the past and the fantasies of the future, intuition is always in the moment, always in the here and now. The more we develop our inner being, the inner source of love and truth, the inner quality of being here and now, the more we also have access to our intuition.

Intuition is about moving out of our own way. Intuition is about moving out of our limited sense of “I”. It means moving out of the way of our ideas about how things should be and just be with what is. It is to be with the living reality of the moment.

Our heart is the door to allowing Existence to guide us. Our heart is the door to allowing life to support is in our psychological development process towards spiritual maturity.

Intuition is the voice of our inner being, of our authentic self. Intuition is the Existential voice within ourselves. Through listening to our intuition, we are in contact with the Whole.

Intuition is a trust that if we follow our heart, if we follow our love, joy and truth, the Whole becomes enriched.

Intuition is already in contact with Existence. Intuition is already in contact with that, which is larger than ourselves.

Swami Dhyan Giten’s new book “The Language of Silence” is touching hearts around the world – Giten’s new book is now reaching the Himalayas in India

SWAMI DHYAN GITEN’S NEW BOOK
THE LANGUAGE OF SILENCE:
FROM DARKNESS TO SILENCE
IS TOUCHING HEARTS
AROUND THE WORLD
- GITEN’S NEW BOOK IS NOW
REACHING THE HIMALAYAS
IN INDIA



It is astonishing to realize that growing up actually means to become one with Existence. It means to find the whole Existence within myself, it means to discover  that Existence is alive in my own heart and being.
The song of a bird echoes my own inner voice, the beauty of a flower reflects my own inner beauty, a dog becomes an expression of my own unconditional love and friendship, the majestic mountains create an ecstatic joy, and I discover all the shining stars of the sky within my own heart.

It is to realize that the whole Existence is alive, and that  the underlying thread of consciousness is God.

- Swami Dhyan Giten 

I was 9 years old when I had my first spiritual awakening, my first glimpse of wholeness with Existence, my first taste of the language of silence, says spiritual teacher and best-selling author Swami Dhyan Giten in this book. This created a deep thirst and longing in his heart and being to return to this natural and effortless experience of being one with the Whole.

I have always had the capacity to go within myself and to discover the silence within, the inner meditative quality, the inner source of love and truth, the inner language of silence, Giten explains in this book. Now I also notice that this silence is going deeper, and that I go beyond the ego and disappear into the silence.

This book consists of a collection of quotes from Swami Dhyan Giten on silence. It also explains how silence is the flower and love and wholeness are the fragrance.

Swami Dhyan Giten has dedicated his life to teach the art of awareness and meditation. He conducts individual consultations, seminars and courses internationally.

“As I started studying for
Giten, a new dimension of
awareness has developed step
by step, which has
transformed my whole life.
Thank you so much Giten for
your wonderful being and
support in life.”
From the foreword by Emanuel Sjogren, musician and student of Giten since 5 years.

“While reading this book which is formatted in short segments and insightful phrases and a true delight to read and sure to later re-visit, I had the sense of listening to his open heart as it gave words to his personal silence.
Giten offers us a quite intimate connection with his inner being and thus a glimpse of the beauty within ourselves.”

Eric Rolf, international lecturer, author of Soul Medicine and former consultant to John Lennon
