Although this course might make the teacher rich, I can tell you one thing for sure: this type of smorgasbord that attempts to give you everything, will not lead to enlightenment. That’s because enlightenment is discovering the source of happiness and happiness does not come from houses, cars, money or relationships. Happiness comes right from your center.
The desire for Lasting Happiness Comes from your nature

Making Your Wisdom Come Alive
is like a novel where you are the main character. It takes many
surprising twist and turns, and in the end you find yourself standing
in the place of wisdom and joy, where you always are,and always will be.

Enlightenment is getting to the core of the universe and the one thing that the whole universe is built on. That is the desire for fulfillment and happiness. The basic characteristic of this happiness is your true identity; but this is the one spot that we look right past in our search for happiness. We look to objects for our happiness and never notice the place where we actually experience happiness. That place does not depend on what we have and don’t have. The good news is that you can be happy and at peace no matter what your circumstances seem to be.
However if you feel that your happiness depends on objects like cars and houses, you may get these things, but in the long run you will be disappointed. That’s because they just can’t give you the happiness that comes from inside of you. And in the end the thing that seemed to give you happiness will seem to snatch it away as when the house burns down, the car crashes or you will lose your ability to enjoy them.
So you have a choice, you can either spend your life gathering the things that seem to provide happiness, or you can dive within and find lasting happiness in the place where it actually exists. This does not mean that in order to wake up you have to live in poverty. It only means that the thing that you put the emphasis on in your life is the thing you might actually get. So just be sure to go after what you really want so when you get it you can be at peace.
In my stay here in California, I have seen too many people with expensive cars and houses who seem confused and miserable. Due to old age and disease they have lost their ability to enjoy their riches. When their wealth disappears, then what will they do? So look ahead and use your life to find your real nature. That's how you can find lasting satisfaction.
Feel free to ask questions
Now I want you to experience your Self-Nature in its full glory. So please
feel free to continue asking questions. I’m always glad to hear your
reactions and clarify my answers. Unlike the path of faith, on the path
of Self-Knowledge it is curiosity that destroys limitation and allows
you to abide in your natural freedom.
