Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation

Las Vegas Events – November 2009 and February 2010

peterd90 — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:52:50 +0000

On November 14th, Louix Dor Dempriey gave darshan to 85 people at a private home in Las Vegas. Louix entered the transcendental state of consciousness known as Samadhi, and, for the next three hours He gazed deeply into each person's eyes as He anointed them, at times delivering guidance and Revelation to some. Two days later, on November 16th, many people who had attended the Darshan, along with a new group of curious aspirants, arrived at the Sun City MacDonald Ranch (nestled on the city's southeastern outskirts) to experience yet another intimate “Evening with Louix.” He answered questions from the audience regarding spiritual concepts, lovingly guiding many through challenging life circumstances, and offering Divine pearls of wisdom.

In mid-February, Louix returned to be with His beloveds in Las Vegas for two more bliss-filled events, held once again at the beautiful Sun City MacDonald Ranch. On February 20th, He gave darshan to over 70 people, and two days later He led a silent meditation. Then, while still in a very God-intoxicated state, He traveled the room and anointed each person with vibhuti. After He returned to His chair, He answered various questions from the audience, delivering many priceless discourses to those in attendance. We offer our heartfelt gratitude to the spiritual community of Las Vegas for their wonderful welcome, service, and commitment to helping us share Louix's love and teachings with the world.

(If you were not able to attend any of these events, Louix will be returning to Las Vegas in mid-May for a Darshan event, as well as a One-Day Retreat! See above for more information.)

The Difference Between Refined Salt and Unrefined Salt

peterd90 — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:43:02 +0000

Those who follow My teachings on health and nutrition are aware of the importance I place upon the consumption of "superfoods" as part of our daily practices. They not only give us far greater types and amounts of nutrients, they also bring much higher prana (life force energy) into our bodies—the primary (i.e. higher) function of eating in the first place, since it is prana that sustains our life. Food, as I have said before, is merely one of the major vehicles which deliver prana into our bodies. It is for this reason that eating superfoods (as well as raw foods) helps us to reduce our overall food intake). Unrefined sea salt is one such superfood (Celtic, Redmonds, and Himalayan pink salt—all are sea salts, even though two are harvested on land—being three of the best and richest in the world). While salt is often labeled by nutritionists as unhealthy and even dangerous for the body, it is refined (a.k.a. table) salt which has earned this acclaimed title. Refined salt not only does not provide us with the many minerals we need, it actually leaches minerals from the body! In other words, it is more than unhealthy; it is toxic to the body. On the other hand, unrefined sea salt is a necessary food, the balanced consumption of which has many positive effects on the body. The following article by Dr. Brownstein does a very good job of presenting the facts about refined and unrefined salt. Enjoy…

The Difference Between Refined Salt and Unrefined Salt

- Dr. David Brownstein

Introduction

Salt is salt, right? Of course not. Just as there are many different brands of cars, there are many differences in various salt brands. This chapter will focus on the difference between refined and unrefined salt. Salt in its natural form is referred to as unrefined salt. Unrefined salt has not been altered by man. Therefore, it contains many different minerals and elements that are useful for the body.

For example, unrefined sea salt (e.g., Celtic Sea Salt) contains over 80 minerals and elements—all the natural elements necessary for life. This is contrasted with refined salt which contains two major items: sodium and chloride.

Refined Salt

How is salt refined? Most commercial refined salt has been harvested mechanically from various salt mines as brine. Brine is a highly concentrated solution of water and salt. Prior to mechanical evaporation, the brine is often treated with chemicals to remove minerals (which are sold for use in industry). The minerals are referred to as “impurities” in salt. These chemicals used to treat refined salt can include sulfuric acid or chlorine. Next, water is evaporated under high compression and heat which disrupts the molecular structure of salt. Finally, almost all of the moisture in the salt is removed in a fluidized-bed dryer.

All food-grade salt available in the U.S. must comply with the National Academy of Science’s Food Chemicals Codex Sodium Chloride Monograph (1996). Up to 2% of food-grade salt may contain anti-caking, free flowing, or conditioning agents. These agents may include sodium ferrocyanide, ammonium citrate, and aluminum silicate. None of these products have any positive effects in the body. Dextrose, also known as refined sugar, is used as a stabilizer so that iodide will stay in the salt. The final purity of food-grade salt is between 99.7-99.95% “pure”. Pure refers to the sodium and chloride content. The other “impurities”, including healthy minerals and elements, have been removed from refined salt.

Table 1: Contents of Refined Iodized Salt

Sodium	≈39%
Chloride	≈60%
Ferrocyanide, Aluminum Silicate, Ammonium Citrate, Dextrose	Up to 2%
Iodide	.01%

Why is Salt Refined?

You may be asking yourself the above question. Salt is refined for four main reasons:

1. Refined salt, having all of its minerals removed (i.e., “purified”) is essentially a lifeless product. Being a lifeless product assures a long shelf life. In fact, refined salt can sit on the grocery shelf forever. A long shelf life is a valuable tool to maximize profits for food manufacturers.

2. Manufacturers believe that an all-white salt product will look cleaner to the consumer and, therefore, increase sales. Refined salt is bleached in order to obtain the white color.

3. If the salt is taken from a polluted area, the refining process will remove the toxins associated with the salt.

4. Iodine is added to refined salt to prevent goiter (swelling of the thyroid). However, as pointed out in my book, Iodine, Why You Need It , Why You Can’t Live Without It, there is insufficient iodine in salt to prevent thyroid illnesses or to provide for the body’s iodine needs.

Unrefined Salt

As contrasted with refined salt, unrefined salt contains much more than sodium and chloride. Unrefined salt contains all of the elements necessary for life. Celtic Sea Salt (Light Grey) contains 33% sodium, 50.9% chloride, 1.8% minerals and trace elements and 14.3 % moisture. Table 2 shows the major contents of unrefined Celtic Sea Salt. Unrefined salt does not contain appreciable amounts of iodide.

How Is Unrefined Salt Harvested?

Unrefined salt has not been put through various machines to remove the minerals and other elements that are naturally part of the salt. In addition, unrefined salt has not been exposed to harsh chemicals. Finally, unrefined salt will have the minerals and elements associated with its origin.

Celtic Sea Salt

In the case of Celtic Sea Salt, it is harvested near the coast of northwestern France. Ocean water is channeled through a series of clay-lined ponds. Next, the wind and sun evaporate the ocean water, leaving mineral rich brine. When the salt farmer gathers the brine using wooden tools, salt crystals begin to form. This is essentially the same method of gathering salt as the ancient Celts used over 2,000 years ago.

This gentle method of gathering the salt ensures that the salt will contain healthy minerals and other elements that are meant to be in salt. There are other sources of unrefined salt besides Celtic Sea Salt. Redmond’s Real Salt® is mined from salt deposits near Redmond, Utah. Redmond’s salt does not undergo a refining process and therefore contains a wide array of minerals. Table 3 gives you the major contents of unrefined Redmond’s Salt.

Why You Should Use Unrefined Salt: The pH Factor

As previously mentioned, unrefined salt has many healthy minerals associated with it. On the other hand, refined salt contains primarily sodium and chloride as well as toxic additives. Unrefined salt is a whole food product which is easily utilized by the body. The additional minerals such as magnesium and potassium are essential for a healthy immune system. These additional agents are meant to be ingested at the same time as sodium and chloride are ingested. Refined salt, in its highly processed form, is an unnatural substance to the body. Over millennia of time, our bodies were not exposed to salt as just sodium and chloride. Humans evolved over time using natural, unrefined salt with its full complement of minerals. Enzymes and hormones in our bodies were designed to utilize salt in its whole, natural form; not in a foreign, refined state.

The consequence of utilizing salt in a devitalized form is a poorly functioning immune system, initiation and acceleration of chronic illness, and promotion of acidity.

Acidity and Alkalinity

The pH of the body is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the body. In an acidic body, the pH is lowered, while in an alkaline body, the pH is elevated. The body has many overlapping mechanisms designed to keep the pH of the body in a neutral statearound pH of 7.2.

When the pH of the body becomes either too acidic or too alkaline, normal physiologic functions decline. The organs of the body (kidneys, liver, brain, etc.,) do not function efficiently unless the pH of the body is neutral (≈7.2). Enzymes, the catalysts for the body, are very sensitive to pH changes. They will lose most of their function when the pH is altered. Immune system cells are unable to protect us when the pH is imbalanced. In fact, no part of the body will work efficiently if the pH is not properly balanced.

An acidic pH is associated with many chronic illnesses including cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, and Candida, as well as hormonal imbalances. Majid Ali, one of the foremost practitioners in holistic medicine has written that an acidic pH is a marker of the absence of health in the body.

Food and pH

The food we eat can have a dramatic effect on pH. Generally, refined foods, devitalized of all the healthy vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, are acidifying to the body. Minerals are one of the most alkalinizing agents to the body. Due to poor diets, many people today are mineral deficient. Mineral deficiency is often associated with a lowered pH (<7.0). Refined salt has no minerals in it, while unrefined salt is loaded with minerals. It is not rocket science to realize that unrefined salt will be better to promote a healthy pH.

In fact, all refined foods, (including refined sugar, flour, oils, etc.) lack minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. When we eat these devitalized foods, our body has to use its own store of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to break down food. Over time, this will lead to nutrient deficiencies and chronic illness. Furthermore, eating devitalized food leads to acidity in the body. Due the prevalence of refined food, it is no wonder that most people run on the acidic side. My experience has shown that it is impossible to overcome chronic illness when there is an acidic condition present. Cancer and chronic illness are two of the consequences of an acidic pH. Cancer cells will proliferate in an acidic environment. In fact, most chronic illnesses will occur in an acidic environment. It is very difficult to overcome any chronic illness if the pH of the body is acidic (i.e., pH<7.2). In an experiment at home (performed by my daughter Jessi), one teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt in ½ cup of filtered water increased the pH of the water from 6.4 (baseline) to 6.8-7.0. The same amount of refined salt, on the other hand, decreased the pH from 6.4 to 6.0. Refined salt, lacking the buffering effect of the minerals, is an acidifying substance for the body. On the other hand, unrefined salt helps to maintain a more neutral pH and can actually help elevate an acidic pH.

In order to promote a more neutral pH, unrefined salt needs to be the salt of choice. Refined salt should be avoided at all costs.

Sue, 61 years old, has numerous food allergies. Over the years, she has become more and more allergic. Sue was reacting to nearly everything she was in contact with including foods. “I don’t know what to eat. Everything seems to bother me,” she complained. Now, she even has difficulty with taking supplements because she reacts to them. “I can’t even take vitamins because they upset my body. I feel like I am allergic to everything,” she said. Sue had tried different techniques to help her allergies with minimal effects. When I had Sue check the pH of her urine and saliva, she found that her pH was very acidic. Upon further investigation, Sue found that foods containing refined salt caused her pH to become more acidic. She said, “I could not believe that the foods that you eat can change the pH so dramatically.” When Sue removed refined salt from her diet and added Celtic Sea Salt, her pH significantly increased. “The most important thing I found was that when my pH elevated, my food allergies went away. I felt much better. My energy improved and I could think more clearly. Also, I am able to take supplements when my pH is elevated,” she said. Now, Sue monitors her pH daily and adjust her diet accordingly.

Final Thoughts

There is a huge difference between refined and unrefined salt. Unrefined salt is packed with essential minerals and supplies the body with a proper balance of sodium and chloride with over 80 trace minerals.

Refined salt is a poor food choice. It has no place in our diet. Without the balancing effect of the trace minerals, refined salt provides the body with too much sodium. Sodium was meant to be ingested with its complement of trace minerals. The consequences of the ingestion of large amounts of refined salt are mineral deficiencies, acidity, and the onset of chronic illness. Unrefined salt should be the salt of choice. My clinical experience clearly shows that this is a healthier salt choice, as compared to refined salt.

Book Recommendation: Miracle of Love

peterd90 — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:05:36 +0000

In this Year of Adoration (2010), I can think of no more fitting a book to recommend than Miracle of Love: stories about Neem Karoli Baba, compiled by Ram Dass. (Note: You may also watch My recommendation of this book, given during an expanded video discourse on devotion and the Year of Adoration, delivered on 31 December 2009 in Melbourne, Australia.)

Many have come to know Ram Dass by way of his breakout bestseller, Be Here Now, which he wrote about and after his time spent in India, in the divine company of his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Miracle of Love is a compilation of stories and lilas, written and spoken by scores of disciples and devotees of this great Master, as well as accounts collected from seekers and travelers from all walks of life, ones who had the great blessing of being in the company of this renowned saint. The stories are at once compelling, intriguing, varied, and often entertaining, as the reader gets quite an insider’s look at (and vicarious experience of) all the magic and wonder that happens in the presence and company of saints, this one in particular.

Himself an embodiment of Hanuman (the Hindu deity known as the embodiment of devotion, and celebrated for his devotion to his Master, Rama), it is no wonder that so much of Neem Karoli Baba’s life and message was to inspire in others that same fathomless level of devotion to God and Guru. What is most fascinating about Neem Karoli Baba is his utter simplicity. Spending much of his time sitting upon his “tucket,” devotees would surround him and drink of the love he emanated, all the while becoming more and more devoted to him… thereby to God… and ultimately to self—the whole meaning, magic, and purpose of devotion. This book is itself a lesson and training in the Art of Devotion.

Those who choose to see devotion as an act of weakness have yet to discover why Bhakti yoga is the highest—and fastest—path to God-realization. Why is that? Simply put: Devotion is quickest path to self-love, and the journey to God-realization is the journey into absolute and total, unconditional love of and for all aspects of self. And it is by our devotion to another (and all others) that we master loving ourselves. Add to that the fact that, when your gaze and devotion is directed at a God-realized being, you are receiving the darshan of that one (his blessing, which is an infusion of his actual God-vibration), you are receiving a direct transference of spiritual power, and you are accelerating your soul’s evolution faster than by any other means available to humankind.

Reading this book will change the way many people see the act of devotion. It is My intention and hope that, by reading this (and other books by and about fully God-realized Masters), you will find greater strength, inspiration, encouragement, and will become smitten with a newfound love of God. Most of all, may you discover the true spiritual power and myriad benefits to be gained through the selfless and masterful practice of devotion.

How do I stop hurting my children?

peterd90 — Thu, 20 May 2010 14:15:24 +0000

Q: I need to put my own hurts and pains around my upbringing aside so that I allow room in my heart and in my consciousness for my children. I have projected all over my children, and have felt that I have been suffocating them out of my own fears and wounds. Yet, the other day, I simply made a decision to be loving in every moment. Can You give me any insights?

A: You have it backwards! It is by loving your children and serving them, caring for them, that you vicariously heal all the hurts, pains, and wounds from your own childhood. This is the antithesis of “pushing yourself aside” (i.e. repressing your pain); instead, you use your wounds and pain as the impetus and inspiration to be the best, most loving father these children could ever have wanted. It is in this way that you heal those wounds. When you repress your wounds and issues, you automatically amplify them and pass them on to your children.

The cure for projecting your negativity onto your children is not projecting on them, and it is as easy as that! Go buy yourself a punching bag, and you can hit (project on) that or go out for a jog whenever you feel the need or desire to vent your anger and frustration.

Choosing to be love is also remarkably easy, not to mention its being your natural state, as created in God’s image. It takes infinitely more effort and energy to be non-loving than to be loving—said effort also being the primary cause of most all aging and disease that afflicts one’s otherwise immortal body and soul.

Transmuting Anger

peterd90 — Tue, 18 May 2010 16:39:03 +0000

Many who come to Me with bodies filled with disease and decay will often say, “But I am happy. I have no worries or upsets. My life is great.” Then, in the next breath, they ask Me to take away their tumors, back pain, headaches, poverty, etc., without any interest or desire in addressing what gave them their pain in the first place. Seeing this condition in, literally, thousands of aspirants has compelled Me to share these gifts for transmuting negativity.

All negative feelings and emotions that are repressed or suppressed cause illness in the mind and body. The emotional body rules the physical. The fact that one’s issues are, perhaps, denied or truly unconscious is irrelevant. Just look at your body to know the truth. Your body is a flawless mirror and barometer for seeing and assessing the state of your consciousness. By reading the physical signs, the answer can very easily lead to the question. If your body is riddled with cancerous tumors, you have issues and something is “eating” away at you, whether or not you agree with that diagnosis. “As within, so without.” Your job is to ascertain the source and to deal with it.

I need to begin with a few basics. There is no such thing as a terminal disease. Nobody has ever died from cancer. Ever. Cancer is only an indicator from your soul that something in your consciousness needs serious adjustment. The physical plane is the densest plane of Creation and the very last place anything shows up. Your soul/God/the universe was sending you signs and messages long, long before the first cancer cell ever appeared. For most, cancer is the final call to change. There are only two reasons why cancer serves as the vehicle for millions to complete their embodiments: 1) the belief (consciously or unconsciously) that cancer is terminal; and/or 2) not sufficiently addressing the self-negativity which prompted the cancer cells to appear in order to get your attention.

Your body is a completely sealed ecosystem, designed and built from the perfection of God’s love and adoration as a model of God’s own immortality. As such, anything less than “perfect love” that you experience—on any level of your being—within that sealed ecosystem, you, alone, introduced into it. Therefore, you also have the power to get it out of your body, mind, aura, etc. Once you have adopted this belief system, you will have transcended the biggest illusion and will be best poised to receive all necessary assistance available to you.

The emotional body has a tiered structure. As it begins to thaw, anger is the first emotion to be accessed. Because it is at the surface of the emotional cauldron of negativity, it is also what is overtly projected onto others the most, as well as what unwittingly squirts out the seams of a heart and consciousness, frozen for years, and onto other people. The very deepest level of non-loving emotions is grief. There are very few people on Earth who even finish cleansing and clearing all their anger in the course of an entire lifetime. It is for these reasons that I shall focus this discourse on how to responsibly transmute and discharge anger, although these techniques can equally be used for sadness, grief, depression, frustration, lust, and many others.

Anger is a normal part of the human evolution of consciousness. Pretending that one does not have or feel any anger does not dissolve or dismiss that anger—nor does saying, “all is love, all is wonderful” rid one of anger. Pious lips do not make a pious heart. While affirmations and mantras are most certainly powerful healing and transmuting tools, they (in and of themselves) are not enough. Anyone who thinks they are is living in a very deep state of denial.

The human soul, body, and consciousness are designed and built from pure Love. They also feed only on pure Love for their life sustenance. Furthermore, anything less than perfect, unconditional love is poison in the human ecosystems—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Thus, any time you (as the sole creator and engineer of your life) introduce into your auric field anything less than pure Love, your soul (by Divine design) immediately takes action to expel that energy (poison) from all levels of your being. You have no “say” in this; it is the Law and Order of Creation. Your soul is constantly expelling the negativity from your body and mind. The better you are at holding it in (or inappropriately vomiting it on others), the quicker you are killing yourself. The poison must come out AND it must not be put onto others.

The use of positive affirmations is a crucial part of a healthy heart, mind, and body. The operative word is “part.” Form does follow thought. Where your thoughts take you is where your life follows. And since the spoken word wields the full power of Creation, whatever you speak, you create. This, naturally, applies to non-loving creations as well as loving ones.

Everything—including emotions—is energy. And energy, as most people know, can never be destroyed. It can only be altered from one form to another. It is from this fundamental scientific and spiritual truth that I am offering a set of iron-clad tools for transmuting the non-loving energy of anger into loving energy of various forms. (As I mentioned, these same tools can also be used to transmute other non-loving energies into pure, loving ones.)

It is very important to create a sacred space, prior to taking action, by speaking (silently or aloud) your knowingness that: a) all your negativity—though very painful—is, on the highest plane of Creation, an illusion; b) all that you are feeling is of your own creation and nobody did anything “to” you; c) you are expressing this distortion and pain and offering it up to God to be taken from you, in sacredness and supplication, so that it no longer poisons your system.

In order to be successful with these techniques, you must first be willing to adhere to the one, most important, Golden Rule: Never—but never—project your anger onto another human being, no matter how justified you feel your reasons might be. You would fare better without a tongue than to speak vulgar or mean words with the one God loaned to you. You would fare better without a hand than to raise yours against another, for any reason.

That having been said, the first method is that of direct transference. When you find the anger welling inside of you, find something upon which to “take it out.” My recommendations include these: write all your anger on paper and then burn it; beat a cardboard box to smithereens with a stick or club; throw a kicking, thrashing fit on your bed; take an old object you no longer need and annihilate it; bury your face into a very thick pillow and scream like you have really wanted but never had the courage to; or stand, waist deep, in the ocean and scream all your pain and angst out to sea, giving it to Mother Earth (or deep in a forest, high on a mountain or cliff, etc.). These activities act as a poultice, drawing the poison out of your body. In all of these instances, you are to continue until you arrive at a peaceful place or until the limitations of your physical body prevent you from continuing (which is another way of knowing that you have finished).

The second technique is to redirect the energy of anger through physical exertion or exercise. There are two excellent vehicles you can use to achieve this. The first is to engage in one of your favorite sports or activities—jogging, swimming, weightlifting, rollerblading, etc. In this instance you are channeling and actually transforming the non-loving energy into a healthy and appropriate one.

The other vehicle in the physical exertion technique is to channel your anger into some household project: painting, construction, cleaning, or gardening. Choosing a project which is physically demanding or time-consuming, or one that you constantly find yourself procrastinating, is the best choice for this type of transformation. In this practice, the non-loving energy (anger) is again being transformed into love.
The third technique is one of My favorites, though each one may have occasions when it is best suited to your situation. This final technique is to move into service. When you find yourself “stuck” (a convenient euphemism for “unwilling”) in your anger, choose to do something for another as the means to transmute the anger and, thereby, return yourself to a loving space. The more negativity or non-love you need to purge, the more you need to serve another.

The best choices for accessing those nasty little morsels of anger that “get stuck in the cracks of your consciousness” are the activities you normally would not think of doing for another. Examples include: going to a friend’s house and cooking dinner for the whole family (and doing the dishes afterwards); pulling all the weeds and tilling the soil in another’s garden; doing someone else’s laundry and ironing; washing and waxing your neighbor’s car, and the list goes on.

All of these techniques work 100% of the time. They are foolproof. The only conditions are that you stay in the chosen activity until you have shifted and, of course, that your activity does not violate another’s right to privacy, quiet, etc. Sadly, no matter with how many people I share these gifts, rarely have I seen individuals choose to take action in order to heal the anger and move back into love. Most often, ones choose (the coward’s way of) indulging in the negative emotion, wallowing in self-pity, and continuing to project their own refuse upon others. “It’s too hard” is one more excuse for remaining a victim. Just do it. If the solution were easy and meaningless, it would not be of any value to you. Read, again, the first line in this paragraph and ask yourself what is your objective. Is it to move out of anger (sadness, hopelessness, depression, etc.) or to enjoy it a while longer? Either choice is fine. Just be honest with yourself… it is your life; it is your body.

Please note that I listed the various techniques by increasing levels of consciousness. In other words, the “highest” path of love would invite one into service as the means for transmuting. At the same time, it is of vital importance to be honest with oneself. Thus, if in a given moment, your ego is not interested in “forgiveness” and it really just wants “good ole revenge,” then by all means get the steel pipe out and bash a cardboard box, or throw that fit on your bed, or go hit the punching bag while cursing the delusion out of your body until you are exhausted and/or at peace (or both). Do recognize, though, that at some point in your life, you will need to move out of victim consciousness.

Please bear in mind that, while these methods do transmute your negativity and move you back into a loving space, they do not negate the need to find the source of your anger. What I am offering are ways to restore the balance, peace, and equanimity which enables you to then address the disassociated parts of self which drew circumstances to you that resulted in your feelings of anger.

The closer your transmuting activity can be to the moments during which you are feeling the anger, the better. Sometimes you simply cannot leave what you are doing to engage in this way, although it is rare that you could not excuse yourself in any given situation, for at least a few minutes, to get clear and centered once again. When that happens, promise yourself that you will address the situation in your very next available moment.

Lastly, remember that every circumstance will stay in your aura (environment) until it has completed serving you in all the myriad ways you wanted, needed, chose, and created it to do… whether or not you agree, like it, or profess to the contrary. The universe sends you that for which you ask. If you refuse your own creation, the universe (as pure Love) assumes you did not hear the message or missed the sign and, therefore, sends the gift again—this time bigger and louder. Whatever you resist not only persists, but also intensifies.

If you are willing to take full ownership of all your circumstances and environments as being your own inner self projected outside of you for the purpose of self-reflection, correction, and refinement, and if you are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain and/or return to a loving space, then you are well on your way to a life of mastery and true inner peace.

What Are You Waiting For?

zimmaron — Tue, 18 May 2010 16:38:56 +0000

[See post to watch Flash video]

With great conviction, John Reed (from Sydney, Australia) urges anyone who has a sincere yearning for God to “take a chance and come to Him," and to “drop your every-day world and dive into the sea of love that Pranananda is gifting us.” Once living in a sea of despair (in the wake of his wife's passing), he found the greatest Love he'd ever known, the moment he met the Master. In this riveting interview, he tells of how even the most loving human relationship in the world cannot compare to the all-consuming Divine Love that embraces ones who walk with God-realized beings.

The Power of Our Thoughts and Words

peterd90 — Tue, 18 May 2010 16:20:08 +0000

This e-mail was recently forwarded to Me, and I just had to share it with all of you. Many people have by now seen or heard of Dr. Masaro Emoto, who has done the most groundbreaking studies of water to show and prove the power of conscious choice and directed thought, feeling, word, and deed. Below are some examples of his findings. For those of you who are very familiar with his studies, please have another look. One can never see this enough times. Until one’s consciousness is 100% love and loving, 100% of the time, seeing this study (and ones like it) will continue to transform your life as it does your consciousness. Enjoy!!

The Power of Words Over Water

Can water be affected by our words? Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, believes so. And he has proof.

Dr. Emoto took water droplets, exposed them to various words, music, and environments, and froze them for three hours. He then examined the crystal formations under a dark field microscope. And he took photographs. The results were totally mind-blowing.

Here’s a photo of ordinary water without any prayer spoken over it.
The molecular structure is in disarray.

The photo below is water after the prayer was said. It’s simply breathtaking.
(I now have a great respect for praying before meals! More on this later.)

Dr. Emoto also exposed water to Heavy Metal music. Here’s how it looks like.
Looks sad if you ask me.

Here’s water exposed to Japanese folk dance music. Looks much better, right?

Next, Dr. Emoto stuck a piece of paper with these words: “You make me sick. I will kill you.” Here’s how the frozen water droplets looks like under the microscope…

Below is how water looked like with the words “Love” over it. The difference is amazing.

This is water from Lourdes, France. Utterly beautiful, right?

Wait A Minute—Aren’t You Made Up Of Water?

Yes! 72% of your body is made up of water. Imagine how your words affect your own body. When you say, “I’m a failure,” or “I’m hopeless,” or “I won’t get well,” imagine how these words weaken your health. Make a choice to say the best words out there. Say often, “I’m wonderful,” “I’m beautiful,” “I’m God’s child,” and “God has a great plan for my life!” It’s not only water.

Dr. Emoto also experimented with cooked rice. He placed one cup of cooked rice in two airtight jars. On one jar, he wrote, “I love you,” and on the other, “You fool.” Everyday for 30 days, Dr. Emoto would say these words to each jar of rice. After 30 days, the “I love you” rice was still white. But the “You fool” rice was so rotten, it was black. How can you explain this?

Just as a side note: When I was a child, my mother taught me to pray before meals. Now I realize it wasn’t just a nice thing to do. When I pray over my meal, I know a material transformation takes place in the molecular level of the food that I pray for. I say, “Be blessed,” to the water and food on the table—and I expect it to be blessed. I encourage you to speak words of truth. Dethrone the lies in your mind. Say, “I’m beautiful.” Say, “I’m a wonderful person.” Say, “I have a great future.” Say, “I’m anointed. I’m strong. I’m blessed.”

Louix: People have often said, “You are what you think.” Now you can also clearly see that, “You are what you speak.”

“Where your consciousness goes, your consciousness grows.”

Speak only love. Think only love. Feel only love. Choose only love. Act only love.

Is my new girlfriend my twin flame?

peterd90 — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:14:46 +0000

Q: I have just met the most wonderful woman, and I would really appreciate if You could tell me if she is my twin flame.

A: As far as your question about this woman possibly being your twin flame, it is very clear that you have forgotten one of the fundamentals of My teachings:

“God is your twin flame.”

You will never find completion outside of self. Your twin flame is not a person. It is your relationship with The Beloved. Everyone who comes asking Me, “Is this my twin flame?” is totally on the wrong track. You are setting yourself up for a very large upset if you continue in this pursuit of a “twin flame.”

What I will tell you, and what serves your soul’s highest and best interests, is to follow your heart. If you feel close to this woman, and your heart stirs when you are with her, then just allow the process to unfold naturally. Stay out of your head in trying to figure out the outcome. Remember this:

“You do not journey to a goal. The journey is the goal.”

Best of luck in your newly found love.

Earth Hour 2010

peterd90 — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 01:49:28 +0000

24 March 2010

Hello beloveds,

In alignment with our Foundation’s “green” initiatives, I feel it is important to relay this information about the upcoming “Earth Hour 2010,” to take place on March 27, 2010 (Saturday), during which people all over the world will be turning off their lights for one hour beginning at precisely 8:30 p.m. (in their respective time zones). The rippling wave of darkness that will wash over the globe spanning a 24-hour period of “one hour of no lights” will be a dazzling spectacle to behold. Last year almost one billion people participated. This year could easily become the most heavily participated event in world history. To think: You and I could be a part of it.

Let us join together and send this message throughout the world and throughout the entire Cosmos—about conserving our natural resources, going “green,” developing freer and cleaner energy supplies… and (let us not forget) about this being a colossal event to weave all humanity more and more deeply together as one Family in the heart of God.

With My love and eternal blessing,

Louix Dor Dempriey

P.S. Below are a few more facts:

Mission, History & Earth Hour 2010

On Earth Hour hundreds of millions of people, organizations, corporations, and governments around the world will come together to make a bold statement about their concern for climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. In places where people are already feeling the impacts of climate change, Earth Hour sends a clear message that we care about this issue and want to turn the lights out on dirty air, dangerous dependency on oil, and costly climate change impacts, and make the switch to cleaner air, and a strong economic future.

Participation is easy. Simply turn off your lights on March 27th at 8:30 p.m., local time, for one hour. That is all you need to do. Oh, and it would also be a great help if you would “spread the word.” Tell your friends and co-workers, and feel free to forward this e-mail to whomever you wish.

Remember To Set Your Clock

Sparking a Movement

Since its inception three years ago, Earth Hour’s non-partisan approach has captured the world’s imagination and become a global phenomenon. Nearly one billion people turned out for Earth Hour 2009 – involving 4,100 cities in 87 countries on seven continents.

In the United States alone, last year, 80 million Americans and 318 cities joined iconic landmarks in the U.S. and around the world that went dark for Earth Hour, including:

•    Empire State Building
•    Brooklyn Bridge
•    Broadway Theater Marquees
•    Las Vegas Strip
•    United Nations Headquarters
•    Golden Gate Bridge
•    Seattle’s Space Needle
•    Church of Latter-Day Saints Temple
•    Gateway Arch in St. Louis
•    Great Pyramids of Giza
•    Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens
•    Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janeiro
•    St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City
•    Big Ben and Houses of Parliament in London
•    Elysee Palace and Eiffel Tower in Paris
•    Beijing’s Birds Nest and Water Cube
•    Symphony of Lights in Hong Kong
•    Sydney’s Opera House

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.
WHAT AN EASY WAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD!

27 January 2010

Dearest Pranananda,

Hello dear Teacher… I have a profound story to share with You, regarding an act of kindness You gifted me recently, and how much it meant to me.

Last week, I returned from an 11-day, silent, Vipassana meditation retreat. If You’re not aware of this technique, Vipassana (in a nutshell) asks participants to go deep into the sensations of their bodies, and learn to and remain neutral to what comes up, as a vehicle for just being with (i.e. accepting) “what is.” During what they call “Strong Sittings of Determination,” we sit for at least an hour—without moving a muscle—going deep into these sensations, and acting as the impartial observer as much as is possible. Our meditation schedule was intensely rigorous: 10 hours and 45 minutes a day, honoring noble silence for 10 of the 11 days… very little food… just depth, introspection, observation, and being with what is.

On Day 4 of the adventure, they taught us the really deep part of the meditation technique, and that’s when it was requested that we stop moving for an hour at a time. I had a story running through my head—that I wouldn’t be able to do it, that I simply didn’t have the stillness or stamina to stop moving, nor did I have the strength to remain impervious to the pain I knew would surface. But something had clicked in me earlier in the day: I had felt a deep trust in this process, sensing how much it could help me, and I decided to give it my all. If I could sit still for this first one-hour experience, then I would stay, knowing it was in fact “for me,” and that I was capable of completing this intense process.

Roughly forty minutes in, I started caving in. The pain in my body felt devastatingly intense, and I felt as if I had nothing to hold onto. At the very moment I was about to give up and move, giving in to my ego’s desires, Your image lit up in front of me. “Why don't you ever call on Me for help?” You asked me gently (or not so gently, if I recall correctly.) I really didn’t have an answer (something about being stubborn). “Do you remember what I said to You, the day you acknowledged that I am your Guru?”

“Yes, I do. You said that You would never do anything that wouldn’t serve me.” I watched Your eyes very intently, and then finally uttered the words, inside my mind: “Pranananda, please help.” All You did then is lock Your gaze directly onto mine. I stared deeply into Your eyes and totally lost myself, as well as the story of the pain, the resistance to the process. Everything became fluid, and my strength rose up to greet my struggling mind. We shared a smile, and then Your image vanished. But I was strong again—rock solid—as I completed the meditation.

For the rest of the retreat, my focus and strength would at times wane, but I stayed for the entire journey, and did a fairly decent job of transcending the resistance. The experience turned out to be incredibly profound. I have found a stillness inside, which I had never before accessed, and I’ve been in a really strong, centered, and detached-yet-loving space in the days since. I want You to know how much You helped me access this divine center, and how much I appreciate all You do for all of us.

Thank You for being there when I needed You most, and for reminding me that I only need ask.

So looking forwarding to seeing You in a few weeks, here in Las Vegas. Zimmaron mentioned that You are planning to see the show “Le Reve.” I would love to buy Your ticket as a tiny reflection of my thanks. You’ll love “Le Reve.” It’s really enchanting.

Much love to You, Master…

Kitty

Pranananda Enters 40-Day Fast

On February 9th, Louix entered what was originally planned to be a 13-day fast, in honor of the upcoming Divine Romance Day and ceremony He would lead on February 13th, as well as in preparation for our Shivaratri ceremonies here at Prema Drala, in addition to His other personal and private reasons, known only to the Master. As always, whenever a Master enters a period of fasting, there are great blessings to be had by all disciples and devotees, as well as by the world at large. On this particular occasion, many of the disciples at Prema Drala joined Him for several days during the first week of His fast.

Unbeknown to us all was the Master’s imminent revelation (before completing the 13 days) that He would continue this fast for a full 40 days and 40 nights, twice the duration of the longest Louix has ever undertaken. A fast of this length is a most rare and auspicious event. It is for this reason that we wish to inform others, that they may unite with Him in consciousness at this time, to more deeply and profoundly avail themselves of the blessings that are available by way of this sacred event. Louix’s fast shall complete at 1:00 p.m. on March 21st, 2010, also the day of the Spring Equinox. Many have already spoken that they plan to again join Him in fasting for the last several days or for the last week of His fast, to again accelerate their own cleansings, and for the powerful, synergistic transformation they will derive by so doing. If you choose to be one of this cadre of souls, as always, “Listen to your body. Obey its requests. And, if you are not accustomed to fasting, please—by all means—do so with proper mentoring and guidance.”

May we all celebrate in the Oneness of His love. Thank You, Guruji, for doing this for us all. We are so blessed. We are so grateful.

Recent Events

Las Vegas Events – November 2009 and February 2010

(If you were not able to attend any of these events, Louix will be returning to Las Vegas in mid-May for a Darshan event, as well as a One-Day Retreat! See above for more information.)

Louix's Visit to Australia – December 2009/January 2010

On December 8th, the disciples at Prema Drala Ashram bid farewell to Guruji as He departed for His month-long sojourn in Australia. His disciples and devotees from Sundara Aravinda Ashram welcomed the arrival of their beloved Guru in Melbourne, Australia. His daughter Ariel Ganesha also came to Melbourne, arriving one week later. His itinerary spanned four weeks, and included the following events: Devotional Singing, Community Dinners, Movie Nights, a Pranayama, Disciple Training, Guided Meditations, a Q&A Session, Private Audiences, Media Interviews, and a four-day New Year's Eve retreat in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. Guruji also shared meals with, and gave personal discourses and guidance to His disciples and devotees. Louix would often enter samadhi, and many people would be effortlessly transformed by the all-consuming love felt in His presence—a feast for the heart and soul!

On December 17th, Louix's birthday, He held a public darshan at the BMW Edge at Federation Square, an ultra-contemporary glass amphitheatre overlooking the Yarra River in downtown Melbourne. The auspiciousness of this day was evidenced by the blessing of a (desperately needed) heavy rainfall. Over 100 people flowed in to receive Louix's blessing, while Kirtan group Sushumna played the most enchanting devotional music throughout the event. Something very unique to this event—held in the central business district of a bustling metropolis—was that many in attendance had never been in the presence of a spiritual Master. This added a very touching and inspirational element to the evening.

On December 29th, 74 souls arrived at the Country Place at Kalorama, to take part part in Louix's bi-annual New Year's Eve residential retreat. Over the next four days, participants basked in Louix's constant emanation of unconditional love. They partook in meditations, yoga sessions, and devotional singing, enjoyed sumptuous vegan feasts, and received guidance from Louix on many subjects. One special evening included a performance of meditative Tibetan bowl playing from special guest Garth Stone. Far more than ever before were great numbers of people having profound kundalini awakenings and experiencing shakti coursing through their bodies, merely by Louix's glance or touch.

Over 40 disciples and devotees gathered on January 4th for Louix's farewell dinner. This was followed by devotional singing, during which they expressed their love and gratitude to Guruji for the amazing past four weeks. Guruji hugged and thanked everyone and invited them to the 2010 New Year's Retreat which will be held in the United States. He beckoned all to go and spread the love and blessings they had received.

Louix proclaims 2010 as The Year of Adoration

On New Year's Eve, Louix celebrated His annual tradition of gathering with His beloveds to ring in the New Year and deliver His benediction for the upcoming year. He proclaimed 2010 as The Year of Adoration—the year to truly enter The Divine Romance (our love affair with God) like never before. As part of His guidance as to how each of us can deepen our relationship with The Beloved, He highly recommends that we recite The Everlasting Covenant as often as possible. He also recommends reading the book Miracle of Love (by Ram Dass) to vicariously experience the sublime devotion and adoration of which He speaks, and to see the all-transforming power of that love. Click here to see the full-length video of His dispensation for 2010, The Year of Adoration.

Louix Returns to Prema Drala Ashram – January 2010

On January 9th, in honor of Guruji’s return from Australia, the ashram held an intimate evening of Devotional Singing (with Louix as lead singer—a rare occurrence thus far at Pranam’s public events). Pranam led the music, playing favorites as well as some new songs. The evening concluded with some beautiful toning and “Oms” led by Pranananda, which left everyone in the most exalted vibration of love.

On January 23rd, a public darshan was held at Prema Drala and approximately 65 people attended. Pranam serenaded the room with devotional songs as Guruji blessed and anointed each person who came before Him. Many new faces joined us for this bliss-filled event.

On February 12th, we celebrated the holy day of Shivaratri. The disciples held a puja to our Guru (who was physically present) and sang devotional songs to Lord Shiva.

On February 13th, in honor of The Divine Romance—the day wherein we re-consecrate and recommit our lives to The Beloved of our souls, our Creator—Louix led a ceremony at Prema Drala Ashram that was open to the public. It began with a meditation which held the theme of God adoring us at the moment of our creation. He ended the meditation by having everyone recite The Everlasting Covenant, and we completed the ceremony by singing "Hosannah."

A Gray Whale Sends Louix White Roses

peterd90 — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:57:21 +0000

I recently joined My Guru, Pranananda, and several of His disciples on a whale watching excursion off the coast of Dana Point, California. At first, I was fairly hesitant to go, as I was concerned about rough seas and motion sickness. Pranananda said I didn’t need to worry; so, when Saturday came around, I was very excited about the prospect of seeing whales that day. I had never gone whale watching before, nor seen them in the wild.

We sailed out from Dana Point Harbor in a small catamaran dedicated specifically to viewing dolphins and whales. The ocean was truly as calm as a lake—which is a miracle in itself (as we were about three miles out to sea), and something Pranananda said He had never once seen or experienced, to this degree, in all His 24 years living in Southern California. After we were cruising for a while, Pranananda turned to me and said, “Is this okay for you?” I laughed, and thanked Him for the calm seas. He invited me to join Him at the bow of the boat, where we stood on a thick net which was about two feet above the water, which we could see right below our often-splashed feet.

Before long, we saw a pod of dolphins feeding up ahead of us. They were jumping out of the water and birds were dive-bombing the fish in a feeding frenzy. The captain steered the boat towards the pod, but before we got too close, some of the dolphin (unbeknownst to us) had left the pod and traveled a couple of hundred yards to our boat and suddenly surfaced—directly beneath Pranananda’s and my feet. What with the netting we were standing on, less than three feet over the water, it felt and looked like we were riding the dolphins! The pair remained there for a minute or so, then moved ahead, beyond the bow, so that we were leaning over the railing, reaching our hands for them, as they kept lifting their heads up and out of the water just beyond our reach. It was amazing to be that close to these beautiful creatures, which were clearly engaging with us on a very personal level.

Soon thereafter, we saw the first whale’s “footprint,” a circular slick which interrupts or overrides the movement of the sea, maintaining a flattened, waveless appearance. This indicates where a whale has just submerged after having surfaced, and it remains for sometimes up to a minute. The boat then traveled in the direction of the footprint, and within 3-4 minutes, she surfaced again… such a beautiful gray whale, about 30 feet long, with spots and barnacles on her back. We followed her for a while, enjoying three or four series of her ascents, each time just arching through the surface, only enough for us to see her dorsal fin and a small portion of her back on either side of it.

The captain started telling us that she was only a gray whale, that gray whales are very shy with people, and that she probably wouldn’t give us much of a show—that she probably wouldn’t even fluke her tail. “They are very homely whales” he said, “really the only unattractive whale species of all the many kinds of whales,” putting her down. Pranananda exclaimed (to us), “Oh, no, don’t speak about her that way!” He and I were practically in tears, so overwhelmed were we by her love, her beauty, and her majesty. He then called out to her, “Don’t listen to him. He knows not what he is saying. We love you. You are very beautiful. And we know you will show yourself to us.” And would you believe—within thirty seconds of His saying that—about a dozen perfect, long-stemmed, white roses appeared in the water on our side of the boat, drifting by us one at a time, sometimes two. They were huge and absolutely perfect white roses, having no sun, cold, or water damage whatsoever, and appearing as though they were just taken out of the refrigerator of a florist shop. As soon as the last rose passed Pranananda, up she came: the closest she had yet surfaced to us, and she fluked her tail right at us, something she had not yet done (and did not do again for the rest of our cruise). He told me that the whale telepathically thanked Him for His love and His kind words, saying that she had sent Him roses as a “Thank You” for defending her honor.

We followed her for about an hour, all told, enjoying her show. All the while we cruised along, Pranananda was communing with her and telling me where she was, where she would surface—and when!—as He could feel her depth and movement in the ocean, as measured (to scale) from His base chakra to His throat.

Wow! Was I ever overwhelmed by the experience. It was so beautiful. I was crying then… as I am now, as I remember.

Pranananda Enters 40-Day Fast

peterd90 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:02:44 +0000

Louix’s fast shall complete at 1:00 p.m. on March 21, 2010, also the day of the Spring Equinox. Many have already spoken that they plan to again join Him in fasting for the last several days or for the last week of His fast, to again accelerate their own cleansings, and for the powerful, synergistic transformation they will derive by so doing. If you choose to be one of this cadre of souls, as always, “Listen to your body. Obey its requests. And, if you are not accustomed to fasting, please—by all means—do so with proper mentoring and guidance.”

May we all celebrate in the Oneness of His love. Thank You, Guruji, for doing this for us all. We are so blessed. We are so grateful.

2010 is the Year of Adoration

peterd90 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:41:23 +0000

In His annual Divine dispensation to humanity, Louix Dor Dempriey proclaims 2010 as The Year of Adoration—the year to truly enter The Divine Romance (our love affair with God) like never before. As part of His guidance as to how each of us can deepen our relationship with The Beloved, He highly recommends that we recite The Everlasting Covenant as often as possible. He also recommends reading the book Miracle of Love (by Ram Dass) to vicariously experience the sublime devotion and adoration of which He speaks, and to see the all-transforming power of that love.

The second part of this video takes place the following morning (New Year’s Day). In full Samadhi state, Louix gives the viewer and listener a direct experience of the bliss-filled world which is our birthright and destiny, turning prophetic the words He spoke not ten hours earlier. The passage evolves into His reciting The Everlasting Covenant, through which we all renew our marriage vows to God, to The Beloved, in this Year of Adoration.

This film clip is a rare opportunity to hear and see—and, more so, directly experience!—the God-merged state known as Samadhi. (Total running time: 41 mins. 50 sec.)

Angels in Laguna

markus — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 08:04:47 +0000

I got back from Laguna after six days of being at the ashram, feeling amazing and light and full of energy. They were incredible days; the energy there is amazing! The weather was beautiful! At the Darshan this time I got to experience the "Heart Opening," which was intense energy flowing through my body, heart pounding, outside—induced pranic breathing (almost hyperventilating), and then extreme sobbing. I was taken to Pranananda. He held me close and tight and told me that our past life together ended tragically, and that was the reason I was so resistant, but also why I felt I knew him and was so drawn to him. So he erased the cellular memory from my body (of the pain from that past life), and I fell to the floor afterwards in a fetal position and sobbed for a long time in Zim's lap. Pranananda later told me, in our audience the next day, that it was like an internal implosion. It really felt like that. It was incredible! After that, I was blissful.

I was granted a private audience with him at the last minute on Sunday morning, along with my friend Donna, and I had just fifteen minutes to get ready. It was amazing to sit in front of this man and listen to him and talk with him about everything. I got the whole thing on CD, thanks to Markus, who said, “That way you won’t forget what he tells you.” Donna and I listened to both of our recordings together on the way home. It was enlightening to listen to each other’s experiences..

I was talking Sunday night with the disciples about angels, and I said I was fascinated by them but didn’t believe in them. They said, "Have you ever asked to see them?” I said "No." So, that night I did ask. Well, the next day (Monday night), I walked out to watch the sunset and, lo and behold, the clouds that formed in front of me manifested as angels. I was smart enough to take my camera, and now I have proof that they exist and showed themselves in a way that wouldn’t frighten me. I showed the photos to Pranananda and he exclaimed: Wow! He was exuberant about the photos, and so were the disciples. Zim said they showed up in legions for me!

So this trip was amazing! All the disciples were wonderful and supportive. The vegan food was awesome, and I didn’t sleep as long as I usually do. I was also up early every morning with all kinds of energy. The energy and vibe at the ashram was like nothing I can explain. I felt at "Home" with these people, and I love them and Pranananda so much. I truly believe that Pranananda is my Guru. What amazing things I felt and was shown in his Divine presence… and his love is beautiful.

Louix Gives Darshan in Las Vegas – November 2009

peterd90 — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:57:04 +0000

On November 14th, Louix Dor Dempriey gave darshan to eighty-five people at a private home in Las Vegas. Markus Kasunich, Louix's personal assistant, gave an introduction and an opening prayer, and then led the group in chanting "Pranananda Om's" (Louix's Sanskrit name is Bhagavan Sri Pranananda). Louix then began the event by guiding the group on a meditative journey, wherein each person traveled into a moonlit forest and communed with a fairy. As we were softly drawn out of meditation, each person came to the feet of the Master, one by one, to receive His blessing. Louix entered the transcendental state of consciousness known as samadhi, and, for the next three hours He gazed deeply into each person's eyes, delivered guidance and Revelation, and beheld everyone as His children with a compassionate, love-filled gaze. As His love filled everyone's hearts, some sobbed uncontrollably, some bowed in reverence, and some people's bodies shook as the Divine energy coursed through them.

After the last person came before Him, Louix sat quietly for a moment with His eyes closed and continued to radiate His energy to the entire room. A palpable feeling of peace and love now overflowed from everything. As one participant said, "Each of us, in our own way, knew that we would never be the same."

We are excited to announce that Louix will be returning to Las Vegas for more public events on February 20th and 22nd. Please see our Upcoming Events section for more details, or register through the Awareness & Consciousness of Southern Nevada Meetup Group.

What are all these circles appearing in the photo?

peterd90 — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:56:01 +0000

Q: Here is a photo that was taken recently at our wedding. Could You tell me what are all those circles appearing in the photo?

A: The strange phenomena all around you in your wedding photos are spirits which were captured on film. Whenever “spirit” is captured on film, it is commonly known as ectoplasm, living (or divine) energy which may or may not be holding—at least, visibly—a physical form as matter. This particular type of phenomenon appearing in your photo is known as an orb.

They are, essentially, beings; in your case, some of the many, many angels who not only walk with you on a daily basis, but who were/are in great celebration on this momentous day (who doesn’t like weddings and parties?). Orbs do not exclusively represent angels, nor were there only angels present at your wedding. Deceased family members, nature spirits, other astral beings, extraterrestrials, et. al. are around all of us all the time. Rest assured, the ones appearing in your photo are all very loving in nature, and very happy!

You can do an Internet search, under “orbs,” and see lots of photos of them. We have many pictures of orbs in our ashram photo archives. They are captured quite often on film here. There was one very auspicious thing about yours, however. I have never seen such intricate patterning, as is evidenced in your photo, within the large orb on the left. Very nice.

A Divine Confirmation

peterd90 — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:30:07 +0000

I had gone down to visit Prana Shakti, our ashram just outside of Hobart, Tasmania, to spend time with My disciples there. I had known that their dog, Henry, was old and ailing, to say the least. When I got there, what I saw upon walking in the door just had Me in utter horror: Henry was so completely and totally emaciated. I instantly saw that he wasn’t even a dog anymore. This dog was fully in his light-body and had essentially died about a year-and-a-half ago. My heart hurt so much that I almost fell to the ground upon seeing him. The people's attachment, desperation, and anguish were keeping this dog alive, against his will and even against the laws of nature. Henry appeared as a skeleton that looked like it was spray-painted with hair. He could barely stand, walk, eat, or move. He was barely breathing, and his chi was at about three or four percent. Henry was here "but for the grace of God"—just for them—because they refused to let him go.

Peter’s beloved, Marianne, had passed on less than a year prior, and she was very close to Henry. Henry was the light of her life. So, everybody at the ashram felt that, by keeping the dog alive, they were vicariously keeping Marianne alive and thereby keeping the last thread (in their minds) of attachment to their earthly life with Marianne.

On the story went… until I got there. I knew, upon walking in, that the first thing I had to do was to cut their cords of attachment and fear, and help this dog to move on. So, I sat down with Henry and had a little private ceremony, just him and Me. I whispered to him and said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of this.” He thanked Me and begged Me to help, saying, "Thank You so much. They just won’t let me go… they won’t let me go."

I waited for the opportune moment, gathered everybody in the community together, and we all sat in the room around Henry. He had a special pillow in front of the fireplace, which was his spot. Now, for these last two years, he almost never got up from there. At first, upon sharing what I am saying now and what I was about to say to them, there was an unspoken level of disagreement (for various reasons): thinking I was either exaggerating, or making more of it than it was, or that what I was saying simply wasn’t so. From their point of view, the dog was still walking, eating, and functioning, but they had blinded themselves. Their attachments, their pain, and their fear had blinded them to even see the truth. Coupled with that, Henry was putting on a facade for them, using every ounce of strength he had to hide the sheer agony that he was in all the time—an agony to which I, as the story goes on, was witness.

Before we had this gathering, there was a moment when everybody was out of the house, and I was there by myself, alone with Henry. At one point, Henry slowly started to get up to go outside. There was a little landing outside the back door and it was only one small step higher than ground level. It wasn’t even a step like one on a staircase; it was just a slab of cement. It only rose about four inches, maybe five, but much less than the height of a standard step. The dog stood on top of that tiny landing, staring off the side of it, like he was looking off the edge of the Grand Canyon, some 2,000-3,000 feet below him; as though he would plummet to his death if he were to step these couple of inches off the cement onto the earth… not to mention how he could even do it, since he clearly had almost no command or power over his legs—something nobody here seemed to notice, and something Henry had successfully hidden from them all (out of his love for them) and which I alone was now privy to see.

I sat quietly. I didn’t move a muscle. I blocked Henry from feeling my energy or knowing that I was watching him, so that he wouldn't know anyone was watching. I saw this dog stand there for almost a minute before he summoned the courage to take that one step off the landing, so that he could walk on the earth. When he finally did, his legs wobbled, his whole body shook, and he was filled with fear. He looked as though his legs would crumble and his bones would break beneath the weight of his beyond-frail body.

He hobbled about ten feet to a spot where he could hopefully lie down on the grass in the shade. Every time he tried to bend his legs, he would wince in pain, bearing facial expressions just like a person in extreme pain would do. The side of his mouth pulled to the side, stretched, and his eye wrinkled and stretched on the side. With every attempt, he would barely bend his legs an inch and try to lower his bottom, in an attempt to sit down—something all dogs instinctively do all their lives—but he couldn’t. He tried to lower his torso but couldn’t. He then began to walk slowly in circles, falsely believing (and yet hoping all the same) that if he went around and around enough times, he would wind up in a lying position without ever actually having to bend his legs. When he finally reached the ground, he winced again and just sat there. The whole drama took him several minutes: to walk fifteen feet from the fireplace to the back door, and then another ten feet out onto the grass and lie down. This was something that, in his heyday, would have taken him less than thirty seconds, but it now took minutes… because nobody was around, so he didn’t have to hide. He never let them see his true level of pain because he knew they didn’t want to let him go. Seeing this really wrenched my heart even more—the violation that was going on here.

As I was saying, I gathered everybody together. Henry was back on his mat, in front of the fireplace. We all sat in a semi-circle around him, and then I started by saying, “This dog died a year and a half ago. He is in his light-body. He is only breathing because you folks won’t let him go. You have got to let this dog go.” I had My hands on Henry most of the time I spoke. I was simultaneously and telepathically speaking with him, and it was just so beautiful. Little by little, one by one, the beloveds in the room were surrendering. People started crying and saying, “Oh, I felt that all along and I knew.” (Only yesterday, when I first arrived, they were saying, “He is fine, he is doing much better,” when I asked them how they felt about the dog.) Today was the Day of Reckoning, and now it was My turn to take a stand for this poor dog. “Folks, wake up! This dog died a year and a half ago.” I shared with them what I witnessed when no one was in the house, about how this dog could barely stand, walk, or even sit down. I revealed to everyone how Henry had been using all the love and the strength he could muster, calling God’s help (no doubt) to hide it from them because he knew they wouldn’t let him go.

By now, everybody was crying, apologizing to Me, and apologizing to Henry, saying, “Oh, I knew. Why did I do this?” Next, I had them each come up to the dog, one by one, to apologize, tell him how much they loved him, and give him permission to leave this world. The whole ceremony took about an hour. In the end, Henry, our beautiful ashram dog, was finally at peace and thanked Me with all his heart. I was sitting next to him throughout the whole rite of passage, with the semi-circle of beloveds formed around us.

I was speaking to the group about Henry's ties with Marianne, his need to go, and his wanting to move on. "This is what really serves him best and, really, what will connect everyone to Marianne’s spirit far more than torturing a dog that wants and needs to die." While I was talking, I happened to turn my head and notice today's local newspaper on the floor behind Peter (Henry's owner). On the cover was a full-page color photo of a middle-aged woman—similar to Marianne—with her dog, a dog just like Henry. The title of the cover story on the newspaper—where they live, on that same day I was there for this whole event—read something like: “Saved at Last—a Woman Reunited with Her Dog.” (Interesting that the paper, which had been sitting, face up, right in front of everyone, was only noticed once everyone had gone through the healing and had agreed to go through with the euthanasia and finally let Henry go.) So there, on this newspaper, is the woman (symbolic of Marianne) hugging her dog, with this big, beaming smile on her face. I picked up the article and said, “What do you think of this? How auspicious is this! On today’s paper, on the day I am giving you this talk, Marianne will be reunited with Henry.” Everyone burst into tears, crying with happiness and joy at the synchronicity.

When all was said and done, Peter’s daughter, Monique, quietly reached into her pocket, pulled out her cell phone, and innocuously took a picture to capture this moment for posterity—-not thinking anything… just a little, quickie, low-grade photo on a cell phone. Then she said, “Oh my God. Pranananda, You need to see this.” She turned to show Me, and there was a picture of Henry with these two colored floodlights for eyes! His dog eyes were gone: one was pure gold and other emerald green, the color of the heart chakra… just pure light. There he was, in his light-body—just as the Master had told them—happy as a clam, and ready to go.

We made an appointment with the vet to come and euthanize Henry the next day (her first available appointment). We were going to hold the cremation right here at the ashram. We were going to build a giant funeral pyre (for which we obtained a fire permit from the county) and cremate the body right on the same property where he spent the final years of his life. It was all so beautiful.

Everybody got to witness, first-hand, the power, the presence, the grace, and the divine orchestration of the Creator, in its glory and in its fullness. The lesson here is that we just need to get out of the way, and let Nature flow according to its own perfect order and timing and place. With God, all things are possible.

Thank you, Henry, for gifting us all such a wonderful, heart-opening, and transformational experience… but, mostly, thank you for giving us the joy and the privilege of sharing so many precious years with you. You truly will live in our hearts forever.

Why is homophobia so prolific?

zimmaron — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:07:13 +0000

[See post to watch Flash video]

In this teleconference call, Louix explores the reasons why homophobia is so prolific, explaining that it is people's judgment and/or repression of their own sexuality that leads them to condemn others. He explains that our souls (which are neither male nor female, but both), prior to embodying, meticulously choose and design every aspect of our lives—including the gender we will inhabit, as well as our sexual preference for that given lifetime—for the purpose of bringing us into deeper levels of wholeness and self-love.

Louix’s 48th Birthday Celebrations

peterd90 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:52:42 +0000

It is with great joy and excitement that we announce this year’s celebrations to honor the 48th birthday of Louix Dor Dempriey (Bhagavan Sri Pranananda). Each year, disciples and devotees around the world hold a three-day celebration as an expression of our gratitude for His presence in our lives and on this planet, and to attune to His Divine energies that are available to all on this hallowed day.

Each year, Louix spends His birthday with His beloveds in a different part of the world. This year, Louix will attend His birthday celebrations at Sundara Aravinda Ashram in Melbourne, Australia. His ashrams all over the world will host various events and gatherings, which all are welcome to attend. To begin each day of celebrations, Louix’s ashrams will perform an aarti ceremony. During these three days, many people also choose to fast or abstain from particular habits, as an act of devotion.

To invoke Louix’s presence during this auspicious time, you may wish to create a sacred space in your home, which can include an altar with His picture and other adornments upon it, or a special chair decorated with fabrics. Cleansing your home by burning sage or incense, or ringing bells, is a powerful way to increase sacredness during the celebrations. You can also invoke Louix into your dreams and meditations to experience more deeply His essence of unconditional love.

To help you commune with Him during this special time, we offer this free downloadable portrait of Guruji.

The first day of celebrations will be dedicated to serving others. You may choose to offer service to a family member, a friend, someone whom you have taken for granted, or a group in your local community in need of assistance. You may also choose to serve Mother Earth by participating in Louix’s Global Clean-up Project or Forests of Fruit initiative.

"I live forever in your heart and shall forever light your way."

– Louix Dor Dempriey

The second day of celebrations will consist of inward reflection upon the significance of having Louix's love and wisdom guiding our lives. On this day of introspection, we set aside time to rekindle gratitude in our hearts, and rediscover the joy and wonder it is to be on the path to liberation, walking with a God-realized being. Journaling our thoughts and reflections, as well as sharing these with others, are excellent ways of deepening these blessings.

Louix's birthday will be celebrated with a festive night of bhakti (devotion), as we express our love for Louix with an evening of Devotional Singing—a public event which will be hosted by His ashrams and study groups. We will invoke His presence with songs and chants from many spiritual and cultural traditions. If you are unable to attend this event, you may celebrate by inviting friends and family to join in your own night of devotional singing or listening to your favorite uplifting music in His honor.

Recent Events at Prema Drala Ashram

On August 21st, Pranam, Prema Drala’s devotional music group, played their first official public event at the grand opening of Lotus 7 yoga studio in Rancho Santa Margarita, playing in the background during their “happy hour” yoga. On August 23rd, Pranam had their first public “Evening of Devotional Chanting” at Yoga Shakti Studio of Irvine. The event fell on the auspicious day of Ganesha Chaturthi, and, as such, Lord Ganesha was honored with special prayers and chanting as the main part of the event. Pranam also held two “Evenings of Devotional Chanting” at Unity Church of Tustin on September 9th and 16th. These were their first shows at the church, and many of its members loved the show and were eager for future events with the band!

A public darshan was held at 25742 La Serra on September 19th—the first public event to be held at Prema Drala's newest ashram home, located in Laguna Hills, California. Approximately sixty people attended, with some guests traveling from as far away as Joshua Tree, California. Pranam played live music for the event, and many people basked in the beautiful energy in the room, receiving blessings and healings.

A team of disciples from Prema Drala Ashram attended the first Bhaktifest from September 9 – 11th, held at Joshua Tree National Park. They ran a product and information booth for the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation at the event, which drew an estimated two thousand people! Bhaktifest was centered around yoga and kirtan, featuring live performances from over forty kirtan groups, including Dave Stringer, Jai Uttal, and Donna De Lory.

On September 22nd, Pranananda led a public Equinox Meditation in which He helped us to align our energies with the new season—amplifying their impact on our lives and encouraging us to be in harmony with the ebb and flow of the seasons. He spoke of expressing our gratefulness for the Fall’s harvest, both the bitter and the sweet.

On October 10th, we held “An Evening with Louix” at Prema Drala Ashram. He opened the event with a guided meditation to cleanse the chakras and invoke Divine Light into our bodies, and then gave a discourse on the nature of Enlightenment, a topic which is widely misunderstood these days. After the discourse, He answered various questions from the audience, delivering pearls of wisdom and using His own stories to illustrate the very same.

On October 17th, several disciples participated in the annual “Walk for Hope” charity event. The event is a five-kilometer walk decorated with inspiring handmade quotes. The purpose of the event is to spread more love in the world and to raise money for the charity of the participants’ choice. The Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation raised money for Love Without Boundaries, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of orphans and impoverished children in China.

Louix’s Visit to New York City, October 2009

markus — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:13:03 +0000

Here is a schedule of the events that took place during Louix’s visit:

Thursday, 22 Oct:	A one-hour telephone interview with internationally best-selling author Janet Attwood for her Dialogue with the Masters interview series; a public darshan, held in mid-town Manhattan at The New York Open Center.
Friday, 23 Oct:	An interview with Christine Schiavone on the community television program Spiritual Exploration, which aired in Staten Island and the surrounding areas on November 6th. (This was Louix’s second appearance on the program.)
Saturday, 24 Oct:	A one-day retreat at the New York Open Center, during which Louix led meditations, Q&A session’s, sacred ceremonies, and gave inspiring discourses.

On October 22nd, Louix gave darshan at the New York Open Center. He opened the event with a guided meditation in which He took the audience on an inter-dimensional journey, wherein each person received blessings from masters, saints, angels, and celestial beings. The meditation flowed smoothly into the next phase of the evening, during which the guests would come one by one to the feet of the Master to receive a personal blessing. People continued arriving over the course of the next four hours. People from various walks of life, paths, and beliefs—some of whom had never before been in the presence of a Master—were transformed by the purity of His love.

The evening ended with discourses on "The Romance with The Beloved"; the necessity of focusing on self-purification; and a detailed treatment on the act of receiving darshan (the living vibration of God) from a Master: what it is, how to best prepare oneself to receive this blessing, its significance in one's spiritual evolution, as well as some insights into the subtle nuances of darshan given by different Masters.

Two days later, Louix returned to the New York Open Center, where He led a one-day retreat for twenty-five eager souls. He began the event with a sacred ceremony which induced in many a state of profound bliss. After a break, Louix shared stories from His Initiate training and provided counseling on myriad topics such as: transcending fear, UFO’s, "surrendering to God," "following your heart," and "how to calm the mind."

Listen to the audio discourse below, wherein Louix brings clarity and insight into the widely misunderstood topic of UFO's and extraterrestrial beings.

This day of communing with the Divine ended in a Sufi-inspired ceremony, in which everyone radiated their love and gratitude to one another in beautiful twin circles of love.

Desert Bloom (Slideshow)

markus — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:49:38 +0000

Anza-Borrego Desert, in Southern California, is known for having the most colorful Spring bloom of any desert on Earth. This past April (2009), during a three-day men’s vision quest which I led in the most remote part of this vast wilderness, I took camera in hand to capture the surreal beauty which spontaneously rises out of this scorched earth for a few short weeks each year. No matter how many times I venture into this desert, I am at once in awe of God’s omnipresent magic and power, giving rise to such radiant colors out of mere rock, sand, and dust. I hope you enjoy these photos. With love…
