Enlightenment is a state of mind without a definition. if it could be defined, it would not be enlightenment.

Enlightenment -- What Is It? Exerept by Osho 

Enlightenment is finding that there is nothing to find. Enlightenment is to come to know that there is nowhere to go. Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go. You are already there -- you have never been away. You cannot be away from there. God has never been missed. Maybe you have forgotten, that's all. Maybe you have fallen asleep, that's all. Maybe you have gotten lost in many, many dreams, that's all -- but you are there.

So the first thing is, don't think about enlightenment as a goal, it is not. It is not a goal; it is not something that you can desire. And if you desire it you will not get it. In desiring a thousand and one things, by and by you come to understand that all desire is futile. Each desire lands you in frustration; each desire again and again throws you into a ditch.

This has been happening for millions of years but again you start hoping, again you start thinking that this new desire that is arising, sprouting in you, will maybe lead you to paradise. That this will give you what you have longed for, that it will fulfill you. Again and again hope arises.

Enlightenment is when all hope disappears. Enlightenment is disappearance of hope.

Omnicentricity

OmnicentricityOmnicentricity means that the center is everywhere. Astrophysicists have determined recently that no matter where one observes, everything appears to be expanding away from that point of observation, which completely destroys the old notion of ourselves floating around in a three dimensional space originating from a single big bang. From the smallest atom to the largest galaxy exists pure potential for forms to arise from the implicate chaos and return again into the void.

The Meditation Program 

Instant Zen meditation

The Meditation Program is a state of the art brainwave "entrainment" package that guarantees to shift your self-development and meditation straight to the next level.

It consists of EIGHT brilliantly-composed levels, each taking you deeper than the last. Each level is designed to be listened to for at least a week, at which point you move onto the next level.

Levels 1 to 4 begin expanding the threshold of your mind, gradually exploring the deepest states of Alpha. Levels 5 to 7 cover deep Theta and early Delta. And Level 8 expands your mind into the mid-Delta stage.

And when you reach that mid-Delta frequency (of around 2.5 Hz), you'll be experiencing the MOST POWERFUL MEDITATION AVAILABLE - something that typically takes YEARS to ACHIEVE!
We've used The Meditation Program with over 10,000 participants throughout the globe and they've ALL reported phenomenal success.

We've recorded and analyzed the results using EEG machines - and these recordings create AWESOME shifts in the mind that bring about PROFOUND CHANGE.

And rather than simply containing the sounds of rain, like most competing products, each level in The Meditation Program contains a unique, deep and powerful soundtrack composed by world-leading composer, Michael Anasazi. (Click here to listen to a montage of samples.)

These recordings will GRAB your attention - and because they're more INSPIRING and INVIGORATING than any meditation sessions you've ever heard before, they'll literally KEEP YOU INTERESTED...
... And you won't BELIEVE the benefits you'll experience!

You'll instantly begin to feel more refreshed, more ALIVE, more confident, more powerful, more "in control", more spiritual - and more grounded.

Why are they so powerful?

Because The Meditation Program is fully in-line with the very latest brainwave research, and incorporates some of the most powerful brainwave technology available (for example, it utilizes monaural beats as well as binaural beats - meaning you can listen with and without headphones!).

Compare us to our competitors - who are using audio ported from cassette tapes (with a great loss of quality), and using recording methods based on research 15 years OUT-OF-DATE!
Meditation is changing.

The Meditation Program is where you need to be.
