From the Grave Podcast

Leaning into the softness. The world tells me to be different.  Always running from who you truly are. I am the puppeteer and the puppets. Cut the strings. Watch for your allies and listen to the nosebleeds.

Chris Belhumeur is a Vedic Meditation teacher from the north shore of Massachusetts. Chris’s spiritual journey started ten years ago, due to his curiosity of the human condition and his desire help others.

Having been introduced to Vedic meditation in 2016 and realizing the impact it had on his life, Chris began his path toward becoming a teacher. Over the next two years Chris studied with some of the most predominate masters of Vedic Knowledge and Vedic Meditation in the world. This training ultimately led Chris to Rishikesh, India where he spent 4 months fully immersed in the teachings and practicing of Vedic Meditation, thus completing his training to become a teacher.

Currently, Chris practices as an independent Teacher of Vedic Meditation in the greater Boston area. Outside of teaching people to Meditate, Chris is the Director of a Non-profit organization focused on helping men recover from drug and alcohol addiction.

Chris currently resides in Swampscott, MA and in his spare time enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, live music, playing guitar, watching the Patriots and spending time outdoors.

Learn to come from the unbounded and then bring this into the world with action. Become sensitive enough to learn when to pull excalibur. Our pursuit of connection. Suffering should be foreign to the human condition. Life is bliss. You're going to hit Unity. What is Consciousness? Passing through the layers of the mind into the abyss of Bliss. Self automating transcending technique. Move past your skepticism by saying 'yes'. Answering the call to adventure.

Creating an Image to hide behind. We create an Image to keep us In Isolation yet think It Is comfort. Recovery and Its many turning points. Daily actions are the recipe for freedom. Identifying with others rather than compare. Following direction. Vedic meditation and the goal of 'Mantra Misfits'.

You are progressive change. 17yr old mentality? Are you paying attention? Life Is like being In the classroom. God Is the Teacher. The classroom Is the Universe. You are a part of the chaos of life. Your feet are cemented In It. Life Isn't happening to you. Perhaps life Isn't even happening for you. Life Is just happening. If I am the embodiment of progressive change and I am scared of change, then therefore I am scared of myself. Solution? Dive Into the abyss of yourself and experience the nature of Truth. Learn to dance In It and not resist It. When we begin to honor the function of life it then recognizes us; Life nods back at us. Life Is paradox.

What does it mean to activate your belief?
New consciousness takes its root and shifts the course of our life for the better. We begin to see how taking right action will refine and renew our thought-life. It is considering: "where am I wrong? Am I keeping myself from Goodness?" Practice the elements of God and you will see that you are those elements. Luke 23:42 "Very truly I say to you, this day you will be with Me in Paradise." Recognize that He is who He says He is. Clenched fists don't receive well. Clean the windows to let the light in. Life is cleaning windows. Let Nature take its natural function. Keep the path clear. Thats it. You will receive guidance for your life when you stop demanding that guidance be given to you.

The things that makes us desperately unhappy we desperately cling to. Walking through Hell enjoying the view. How have your own actions contributed to your gnawing anxieties? What does it take to wake up? Can you hear the whisper of pain? Are you paying attention to it? Unconscious living vs Conscious living. We bitch and complain about the very misfortune we've created.  We pick ourselves apart insecurity by insecurity. We stand in the mirror trying to fix the outside but it's never enough. It's the next thing that will make you happy. The undeveloped Spirit and our lack of commitment to it. Have you built your house upon rock or sand?

The danger of apathy and bad days. The Great Adventure. Building your life back up from nothing. Pockets of energy. Walking through life completely unconscious. Whiskey to prosperity. A House divided against Itself. I have to become content with patient Improvement. The seasons of meditation. Changing your consciousness. Letting go of shame and guilt.

Standing In the middle of greatness. How do we unlock and facilitate greatness? It's okay to be scared; everyone else Is too. The Directors Perspective. Community. It's all about getting closer to God, Awareness, Truth, Presence etc. If we learn to give ourselves toTHAT pursuit. Then, we will attract everything we've ever wanted. Motivation Is garbage. Outwork Addiction 2020 recap. The mind Is a liar. The greatness of memes. The space before and after thought, word or action. Snuffing out the stains on your character.  Am I living an unconscious life? Am I mostly driven by self seeking desire? As within so without. Sow and reap. Ask and receive. Like attracts like. Outer reflects Inner. Cause and Effect. Awareness begets more awareness. What voice Is the loudest In my mind today? Why? You are the manufacturer of your misery.

The subtle levels of awareness. Why live on the pathless path? Meditation. 
The Kingdom of Heaven within. Living from and with the Source. True bliss is when your thoughts, words and deeds are in complete harmony. Why do we run from the idea of simply sitting with ourselves ? What is it in us that runs from the things we know we must face? The silly ego always  wants to have some form of identification with something or someone. We say things that don't need to be said. Becoming aware of how we mindlessly affect the world around us through thoughtless words. See ourselves in others must lead to compassion. If you want to know how someones self-talk is just listen to what they say. You owe loyalty to developing your own Soul; nothing else. Seek first Gods Kingdom and everything else will be given to you. Becoming interested in the details of our life. Your answer is where you don't want it to be. We reflect what we are. You are responsible for every experience you've attracted into your life. If you want life, don't cling to it. Let it go. The annoying question: what do I do with my life?
