The Highest Teaching of Rahul Patel

The Highest Teaching

The highest teaching is to continuously teach oneself. No one can teach us but ourselves. There is no outside knowledge. It is the experience of oneness, with everything, that liberates us. It is a constant re-birth... It is a constant re-birth.

When Confucius looks at a cup he examines the shape and the material of the cup, and advises us how to handle the cup. Lao-Tzu will look inside the cup and ignore all the rest. Buddha will tell us to stay away from the cup because it is an attachment. Rahul will hold the cup to experience it and dance with it.

THE THREE TREASURES

First Treasure: “Heal Thyself” not “Know Thyself”

We can know everything and still be stuck in emotional hurt, physical pain, and spiritual despair. The journey is to heal every relationship. And the first and last step is to say: “It begins with me.” So, start all over again. Be like a NEW WAVE.

Second Treasure: “There is always Enough”

Whenever we feel rejected and afraid, we lose the flow. In this situation tell yourself “There is always Enough.” Be like water which constantly flows and your cup will be full.

Third Treasure: Sense of the Sacred

Do everything with a sense of Joy, not drudgery. Wherever there is Inner Joy, there is the Sacred. Wash, clean, cook, and drive, not like the old self and drive others crazy, but drive in the Presence of the Sacred. Celebrate every moment and say: “Voila”!

THE BUTTERFLY DREAM

One day Chuang Tzu was dreaming that he became a butterfly.
He woke up startled and he asked himself: Am I a butterfly who is dreaming that I am a man; or am I a man dreaming that I am a butterfly?

Who are we? Are we butterflies dreaming that we are human or are we dreaming that we are butterflies? How do we find our true nature?

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT

When we find ourselves in the dark we struggle to remove the darkness. My way is to bring the Light. I want to share with you how to bring light in your darkness instead of spending your time analyzing the darkness.

Nasrudin was telling the people one day that one could see in the dark. The people asked him how come you are carrying a lamp in the night? Nasrudin answered: “Only to prevent other people from colliding with me.”
You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:14

Rahul Patel offering prayer on the dark night of the soul at the historic location:
St. John of Cross, Toledo, Spain, where St. John of Cross freed himself from the dark night of the soul after eight months in prison.

The way to find light is to go through our journey of the dark night of the soul.

"... no other light, no other guide, than the one burning in my heart..."
--Saint John of the Cross, 15th Century

WHAT IS THE WAY?

How to bring light in the midst of darkness

I want you to kindly center yourself, close your eyes, and create a safe environment around you, and say: “thank you…thank you...I am alive!”

Take a “Breath of Gratitude” and say, “I have the ability to understand.”

Take the same “Breath of Gratitude” and give it to someone right now.

The world is a better place NOW because I am able to make a difference.

WHERE DO WE START?

Buddhas are not born but created. They create themselves by choosing to act with awareness in the present moment. Our whole life is actually a journey of constant re-birth. This constant re-birthing is what I want to teach you. In India, one who has gone through this process of re-birthing is called Brahmin – twice born.

MOTHER TERESA’S SIGN

I went to Calcutta to see Mother Teresa. She was out helping the nuns that day. There was a sign posted on a wall in Shishu Bhavan. About 30 years ago a man named Kent M. Keith wrote some paradoxical sayings. One of them was

“People are illogical,
unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.”

SNAP YOUR FINGERS AND EMPOWER YOURSELF

Everything is Energy. Energy is always there and will always be present. There is a Presence and a Power that is always around us. Remove yourself from your mind so that you can open yourself to what I call the Zero Point, where you can make a choice. Now, simply choose to feel that vastness that you are already connected to.

An example: Nobel Prize poet, Rabindra Nath Tagore was in a boat during a moonlit night writing a poem on Beauty with the aid of a candle. Then a wind came and blew off the candle. Now, without a candlelight, he was able to connect with the magical Moon and he realized how dis-connected he was from the Light because of the mind.

Step One:

Move towards empowerment by removing your "personal candle" and connect with the Boundless Universal Energy.

Step Two:

Snap your fingers and feel the Energetic Charge. Whenever mind comes in the way just remember to “snap your fingers”.

   JOY OR HAPPINESS

JOY

HAPPINESS

We are born with Joy.
To experience Joy we need to embrace our gifts.
Joy manifests as Bliss.
Happiness is a creation.
Every creation implies effort.
Every effort creates momentum.

In 1987, somebody asked Joseph Campbell, a great Mythologist, "What should we do if we have lost our way?"
Joseph Campbell said "Follow your bliss, and if you follow your bliss, doors will open where there were no doors before."

So, begin your life, Now.

Begin it with joy.

   Do everything that gives you joy.

And you will experience Bliss.

THE BLISS CHART

The only secret of blissful people is that they enjoy the happy stories that happen to them while Un-blissful people remember only sad stories and they talk about it.

Blissful people attract blissful people.

Blissful people take blissful "pictures" and they enjoy these moments forever.

PATEL’S PATH TO POWER HEALING

Whenever we have somebody to connect with, healing happens because we are connected.

In this process of connecting, Energy flows as we shift from an individualistic “I” perspective to a “multiple universe” perspective.

The 4 P’s for Power Healing:

PETS
When we have a pet we can talk to, whether alive or stuffed - it does not matter, our healing begins. Even a Teddy, a doll or a Mickey Mouse will do if we have a special talking relationship with them.

PERSONS
People are fun if we can call them in the middle of the night to get things off our chest without being judged. Find somebody you can communicate with and stay away from critics. Listening is very healing.

PLANTS
If you are allergic to people, talk to a plant. A plant will never reject you and it will always listen to you. I talk to plants all the time. When you look after a plant lovingly, the plant will also look after you.

PATEL
If you don’t have pets, persons, or plants in your apartment, and you’re allergic to the person, you can open to HIGHEST TEACHING and talk to Patel.

YOUR HOLOGRAM

All your desires and all that you need are already in your Hologram. It is your divine blueprint. In order to manifest your desires you need to magnetize what you already have in your Hologram and all you need to do is to be grateful. Visualization is not needed. Just be thankful in advance for what you desire.

The highest teaching is to continuously teach oneself. No one can teach us but ourselves. There is no outside knowledge. It is the experience of oneness, with everything, that liberates us. It is a constant re-birth... It is a constant re-birth. When Confucius looks at a cup he examines the shape and the material of the cup, and advises us how to handle the cup.
