Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor

This is an edited recording of a live Q & A which continued some of the topics of the previous Q & A podcast. This podcast is another great discussion about the experience of awakening including the awakening experience of one of the participants.  Also, about meditation and the monkey mind, layers of awakening, the experience of awakening and then "losing awakening", shadow work, Jesus's experience leading to awakening, worshiping God, cultural aspects of religion, etc.

These podcasts are meant to supplement your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. They are a compilation of what I have found to be the most helpful over the last 50 years on my path of awakening. I feel these podcasts are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last.  Though they, also, all stand on their own.  Since we are each a bit different, if anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are here and free. Enjoy!

Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy.  If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.

You can't connect deeply to a God you fear.  Bhagavan suggested that there are two paths to awakening, Spiritual practices or simply praying to God to do the work and awaken you.  For you to ask God to awaken you, you have to be able to connect to that God.  Since God is infinite, God can be seen in a way that bypasses your psychology.  So if you love women and are afraid of men, have a female God.  The growth formula, prayer, gods, etc are discussed.  I think this podcast will make a lot more sense once you have listened to it than it likely does now.  See what you think.

What is God and does "God" exist?   Many have been stuck on their path of awakening because they haven't known how to address this question.  Many feel alone in an absurd meaningless universe.  Camu and Sartre founded the existentialist and absurdist philosophies based on this predicament.  If this is a concern and one has existential angst in life one might not even be aware of where it is coming from.  Nonetheless, this anxiety can shut down the personality to life and, therefore, awakening.  Let's explore some possible answers to what an essential question for some may be.

In this recording of a live session, participants asked, "What it is like to be awakened, what kind of spiritual practices and meditation do I do, why are their meditations not deep".  We talked about beneficial guidance from angels, Jesus, my guru, etc.  Its helpful but we can go beyond all of that.  What is it like to awaken through a guru and do you need a guru?

Your innate nature is incredible radiance of peace, love, and joy.  Nothing you have to do.  It is flowing through you now just as strongly as it flowed through Jesus and Buddha.  But why doesn't it feel so?  Because we have frozen much of it into pain.  Just look inside and feel what you feel.  Look outside and see the world you have created.  Pain emits lots of radiance.  Even a life of pain is born of love....even if maladaptive.  How to let it all melt back into recognizable and enjoyable love and wellness?  Let's explore together.

This is a recording of a Live Q & A which has been edited for clarity, length, and helpfulness.

In this live session, participants sent in questions concerning their process of awakening.  We discussed four aspects of awakening, experiencing your Being, trusting that the universe is you and knows what to do....the personality does not have to know all, releasing all that you are not, and letting your body open into this infinite trust and flow with the qualities of your Being, Peace, Love, Wellbeing, Happiness.  Discussed India, Bhutan, and powerful ashrams in the US.
