What is the relationship between the body and consciousness?
When we create separation, we have individual bodies and we perceive these bodies as being who we are, but they are not who we are. We are the totality of everything; every person, every body, every aspect of the entire illusion. We create separation and within this body, we program the separation, so that we vibrate on lower frequencies. We start to hold onto toxins, we start to record things in our hard discs that make our consciousness dense. We don’t experience the greatness of who we truly are. And then we start to heal the separation, and part of that is releasing and elevating the nervous system. So that’s why we remove the stress; that’s why we remove the toxins, so we can vibrate on a higher frequency, and when we start to vibrate on a higher frequency, we start to sustain permanent consciousness. Ultimately, the body is to create separation, so we can have this beautiful experience called the human experience, which we all love! As you know, in the first portal, the second judgment that we heal is that there is something wrong with my body; because it’s not true, there’s nothing wrong with this body – it’s perfect exactly as it is.
What is the difference between surrender and resignation?
Surrender comes from joy. It comes from a joy and a respect towards a higher consciousness. That’s surrender. Surrender wants something; it wants consciousness, and it admits to itself that it doesn’t know everything, that it’s seeing through a window that isn’t clean. So you surrender to a master, and it’s very hard for people to do that, because people have a perception or an idea of how the master should be. But all the masters are different; there is no formula, there’s just love. Different masters may serve in different ways, but they’re all leading towards the same point; towards self-realization; your self-realization. So one of the aspects of surrender is to the master. The other aspect is to the moment. You surrender to the moment, so that you’re not being plagued with control and fear and suffering, you just keep letting go and choosing for the love, letting go, choosing for the love. But you do it from a place of joy… why? So I can be more love. There has to be a point in my life where I let go of the control. If you want to experience absolute freedom, you have to surrender. That’s the key to enlightenment; surrender: you let go of your attachment; your need to be right, your control, your idea of how things need to look. You surrender from a place of innocence and you just keep letting go, letting go, letting go. If you want to self realize, it’s impossible without surrender. Surrender is the key to enlightenment. Surrender. So, you surrender with joy. It’s not passivity, it’s not like Oh well, this is my lot; no. It’s from a joy. Maybe I can’t see in this moment, but I will see. Or I express what I feel and I let it go; more surrender. I think you should be like this; and I let it go. More surrender. Surrendering all your ideas, all your belief systems, your need to be right, so you can experience the absolute. You know what the irony is? You can surrender to anything; anything. Because nothing can affect god. You can surrender to an idiot; it won’t affect you… it’s probably better not to, but you can, because nothing can affect you. You just keep letting go! What are we letting go of? The false “I”. The idea of who I think I am. I’m like that. You start letting go of that. That’s what holds you in a box, that’s what stops you from being the totality, from experiencing the totality. And that experience is impossible to conceive of intellectually. You cannot understand consciousness with your little head; it’s impossible. You just have to keep letting go. The key is surrender, and anyone can do it. If Durga did it, anyone can!

LIVE VIDEOCONFERENCE FROM URUGUAY TO COLOMBIA
It was wonderful today to share Isha's darshan live with a group of our students in Bogota, Colombia. Isha answered all of their questions, live. Here in Uruguay, we have over 130 students from around the world participating in the mega intensive, on saturday, we will be transmitting directly to Mexico, and we are organizing the same thing for other cities during the mega intensives of January and February.
Here are some photos of the students excersising, and the teachers showing off their new hats in the kitchen!
In he kitchen, from left to right: TANTRA, LAKSHMI, MAKARI, SANKARI,BRAHMA, GANESH, ANANTA, GANDI
And the aerobics class in the tent led by Maitreya, with everyone having a great time trying to coordinate with the music! In the front, you can see Parvati's beautiful daugter, who is here for a visit from New York.
Every afternoon at 5pm, after practicing the consciousness excersise, some go to the tent to do aerobics, while others excersise in the morning chi kung class.
Today, a group are going out to ride horses down the beautiful beaches of Costa Azul and Bello Horizonte. They will be able to experience unifying in group whilst on horseback, a very special experience. Then they will stay at the ranch for coffee and cakes! I tested them the other day, and I assure you that they are quite delicious. Later I'll be posting more darshan: todays was great fun, really beautiful!

DARSHAN WITH ISHA IN INTERNATIONAL MEGA EVENT IN "LA I", COSTA AZUL, URUGUAY (EXTRACT FROM TODAY)
THIS IS ISHA'S INTRODUCTION TO TODAYS DARSHAN...
When we’re children, we perceive our parents as gods. Then we begin to see their humanity, and we start to pull them off their pedestals. We start to perceive them as people that limit us, control us, abandon us; there’s a multitude of things that we perceive as wrong with our parents. Sometimes it’s one parent, sometimes it’s both; it just depends. But gradually, they start to slip from their pedestal.
We go through stages: our parents are god, then they become awfully human and we start to blame them for all of our shortcomings, all our problems. We start doing therapy, we start to try and heal the mother within us and the father within us, and we start to create our parents outside. It’s true, isn’t it? We marry our parents, we give birth to our parents, we go to school with our parents; in fact our parents are everywhere. Because our parents represent the initial separation; the initial separation from unconditional love. That love that is so complete within itself, it wants for nothing. That love; that love. We spend our whole lives looking for that. And of course, as you’re starting to realize, the irony is, we are that love. That love is in you and we’re coming home to that love now. That’s why you’re here.
How do I come home to that love? I focus on it; I focus on the love. And then I start to express the resentment, the disillusionment, the abandonment; all of the different aspects that I judge out here, and in my head. I express them to let them go and I see them everywhere. This is a process that takes time, but it’s a very short period of time if you do this system 100%. Not just the keys; they’ll take you so far, but they’re not going to give you absolute freedom. There are other aspects of consciousness which are equally as important, and those aspects form the Isha System. Removing our masks, being vulnerable, opening ourselves to receive love. These are all things that are so difficult for humans t do, because we are always protecting ourselves, guarding ourselves; we don’t trust other people. Why not? Because we’ve been taught not to: through our life experiences we have created separation. We’ve created the vulnerability of the human experience. It’s our creation, although it doesn’t feel like it is. We feel that god is like a puppeteer, and we’re like marionettes that are dancing. But we’re not controlling the strings. We think there’s someone else controlling the strings, and we feel like victims to our circumstance, to our experience. We become victims. But none of it is true. You created everything. You created you parents, you created your dramas, you created your separation, you created your abandonment… you created everything so that you could be human.
A STUDENT ASKS...
What is being real?
Just to remove your masks, to feel your emotions, to express your judgments. This is a great environment, because here everyone is playing the same game. We all create our parents everywhere, our schoolteachers everywhere, our children everywhere! They’re everywhere. You’re going to create them coming to you, and you’re going to be able to express, and you’re going to be able to let go, and you’re all going to be playing the same game, because you’re all focused on giving to each other. Is it easy? No, it takes courage. But it takes courage to be free. To be passive, to stay the same; that’s easy, but ultimately, the masks have to go. They have to go. You have to speak the truth. You have to be real, with the desire to let go. Not to change the outside; just to let go. I express this to let go. Then the love grows. I express this to heal the separation, then the love grows. Why? Because it’s an illusion. Everything is you. Everything is me. You love some parts of yourself, and other parts you don’t love, but you will; you’ll love it all, but from your heart, not intellectually. From your heart.

Video extract from Isha's new DVD: Darshan II
On a recent trip to Puerto Madryn in the south of Argentina, the incredible scenery left us open-mouthed. But it was the presence On a recent trip to Puerto Madryn in the south of Argentina, the incredible scenery left us open-mouthed. But it was the presence of the majestic right whales that truly took our breath away.
Isha was so inspired by their power and presence that she decided to create this DVD, "Darshan II", presenting these beautiful creatures together with some of the best moments of her discourses about consciousness, accompanied with sprinkles of her heartfelt music.
