The Tao Te Ching

During a recent No Limits Society (NLS) Zoom call, a female NLS member asks Bentinho: “How can I surrender to God?”

In the privacy of your own internal metaphysical reality, you can fully and safely surrender to your sense or symbol of God. At its highest state, the True Feminine is like a receiver or receptacle for God’s energy, being equal to God in power and worthiness and desirability. As a practice, initially this feels like a greater trust in one’s innocence, softness, and surrender.

Trust in the safety of your own innocence, your own softness, and your own surrender more than you trust in what you think you know. In this softness, in this surrender, in this humility and openness, you can begin to become the feminine receiving force, which will greatly empower you. It is this humility—the surrender of knowledge, rigidity, judgment and expectations—that makes you the embodiment of Love once again.

Q&A: Trust Your Innocence How to Surrender as The Divine Feminine

In this immersive meditation, Bentinho will guide you in expanding your awareness through the ascending bodies beyond the physical body: the energy body, mental body, bliss body, and the body of allness (God). 

These bodies progressively become denser and more infused with light, with each encompassing, penetrating, and integrating the preceding one. As you ascend through each body, you'll encounter heightened sensitivity, attentiveness, and alignment.

The meditation culminates in connecting with the body of allness, a pure, omnipresent field of awareness, love, and light that underlies all existence.

2-Minute Guided Meditation: Instantly Raise Your Vibration

In this recording, Bentinho Massaro explores the root of all experiences. He explains how we can create a shield that allows for freedom, by maintaining an awareness of beingness as an “object” to which all experiences belong. He encourages the practice of maintaining this awareness, as even a little bit of concentration can lead to glimpses of absolute freedom, which in turn can make a significant impact on our lives. The recognition of beingness as the basis for all experiences creates space for something indescribable and formless to emerge.

Bentinho also expands on the idea of letting go of our attachment to being. Softening this attachment also softens attachments to fears and other identifications. Mantras can be used to evoke this understanding. For example: "Everything that happens, happens to and because of I-Am."

This subtle yet powerful mechanism acts as the secret of secrets, unlocking intuitive awareness and opening the gateway to absolute freedom. Although it may seem obvious once understood, many people are unaware of this specific secret and its transformative potential. With faith and conviction, even a small glimpse of this mechanism can alter one's perspective and deepen one's understanding of experiences.

_________

Keep in mind, this is one of Bentinho's most advanced teachings. Take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Don't use these pointers to judge yourself or your current state of realization, and don't take them on prematurely. Simply let these pointers inspire you and plant seeds of what is ultimately true and possible for you.

This is the first recording in a 4-part series. In https://www.meditationmastery.io/, Bentinho gives a distillation of the four types of meditation he recommends and considers integral to the meta-journey of Self Realization. These types of meditations are the most helpful in terms of how to use your attention or consciousness to lead to the fastest, truest results.

The four types of meditation are: 

1) Penetrative: inquiring into, or directing one’s focus toward deeper levels of awareness beyond one’s current level of perception;

2) Surrender: using inquiry or faith and devotion as a means to surrender to God/Source/Oneness the falsehoods discovered through this inquiry, giving away any sense of ownership, doership, or any idea or belief that one may be holding onto energetically;

3) Recognition/Abiding: recognizing the presence of the true nature of Reality or Consciousness to some degree, and then resting in the awareness of this truth, or abiding in this recognition; and

4) Amplification: using the will to see a certain presence of truth more clearly and purely, and then turning up the brightness or luminosity in order to experience the chosen state of awareness more precisely.

Essential Practices for Self Realization: Amplification (Part 4)

From a spiritual perspective, how can we be of service to the Israel-Gaza conflict?

In this powerful clip from a No Limits Society session, Bentinho responds to a community member,—Itay—living in Israel, who is asking for advice on how to maintain clarity and keep his frequency high and his choices balanced, while in the midst of the chaos and his own resulting confusion.

Itay feels called to be of service to his particular collective but is conflicted by the intensity of it all, burdened by a sense of responsibility that weighs him down instead of making him effective and empowered, and his actions and choices are unclear because he’s been unable to maintain a free, awake and aligned perspective on the situation.

Rather than advising specific physical actions, Bentinho offers one possible way to help Itay in powerfully connecting himself to a higher view that can clear his mixed perspectives up and lead to clear, intuitive inspiration and skillful actions and decision making.

Simply by being in this particular physical location, suggests Bentinho, Itay has chosen an empowering opportunity to be of service by transmitting higher frequencies of Love and Light through his consciousness. And of course, he does not have to stay in this potentially dangerous situation if guided to go elsewhere.

Shortly after this dialogue between Itay and Bentinho during a live Zoom call with the community, a community member offered Itay their home in the USA as a refuge for as long as needed.

How to Spiritually Navigate the Israel-Gaza War

In this meditation on pure awareness, Bentinho guides us to see how we can shift our attention from being lost in worldly distractions to a state of pure awareness. He explains that there are two primary ways to use our attention: one is to be absorbed in whatever perceptions, sensations, or thoughts arise, which often leads to mental descriptions and conceptualizations; the other is to be aware of the fact that we are aware, recognizing the essence of being.

Bentinho explains that by pausing for a few seconds and interrupting the absorption of the mind in external objects, we can bring our attention back to its essence. Through repeated practice of self-recognition, you can begin to see the world as a projection of the imagination and dissolve the belief in an external reality separate from awareness. Ultimately, a sense of non-duality and unity is realized, where all things are recognized as the one being.

Meeting God and the truth halfway requires momentarily stopping the dreaming and being fully awake to the extended hand of the Creator, who is always there for those who have forgotten their own divine nature.

Guided Meditation on Pure Awareness

(11.17.14) Bentinho Clarifies The Tao Te Ching - Part 1

From Gia-Fu Feng  Translation - 1972
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gate to all mystery.

2
Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.

Therefore having and not having arise together.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short contrast each other:
High and low rest upon each other;
Voice and sound harmonize each other;
Front and back follow one another.

Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking.
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,
Creating, yet not possessing.
Working, yet not taking credit.
Work is done, then forgotten.
Therefore it lasts forever.

The Tao Te Ching 1 to 26

Popular translations of the Tao. This section is by Stephen Mitchell 1988
A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.

Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn’t reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn’t waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.

What is a good man but a bad man’s teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man’s job?
If you don’t understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.

The Tao Te Ching 27 to 57

True words aren’t eloquent;
eloquent words aren’t true.
Wise men don’t need to prove their point;
men who need to prove their point aren’t wise.

The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others,
the happier he is.
The more he gives to others,
the wealthier he is.

The Tao nourishes by not forcing.
By not dominating, the Master leads.

The Tao Te Ching 58 to 81

The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness.

Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.

The Complete Tao Te Ching

Introduction to the Tao Te Ching 2020
“This little book cannot be understood any more than you can understand a river. If you wish to experience the river you must jump in. So it is with the Tao Te Ching. Many things in here will confuse you. The confusion is not to be conquered. It does not result from a lack of knowledge. This confusion is a teacher that can teach you about yourself, your story, your people, your world and the still point of the universe to which we give the crude name - the Tao. There are no footnotes of commentary here. These words of the Tao are to be hung like bells in our hearts and rung by the motions we make as we move through our daily lives. Any other sounds make it difficult to hear the bells. The Tao is universal. It is not Chinese. Its is found in the quest of Christian mystics, native Americans, Zen monks, desert holy men, and indeed in every culture and age in the story of the earth. Before this story began and after it ends there is the Tao. It consists of stillness and silence and it will enter into any quiet heart.”
