Those of you who are truly ready to let go and live open handed as the Divine source of life have found the right place. (www.TrueNatureCentre.com)
All that is being shared here is from Julie Sarah Powell's direct experience.
It has all taken place due to practicing and living Elysha's teaching which brought about stabilisation in the Oneness / Awakened state of self realization in December 2003. A further falling away of the Self transpired in December 2007.)
During this process (the dissolution of Self) a seeing occurred which has brought complete ease to the practice of Elysha's teaching, and is shared in detail in the Powerful Peace Program™.
This seeing explains how to bring every man into his / her true nature, very quickly and easily if intensely implemented into the day to day routine of life. Poetically speaking, the act is drawing the Divine through the Self or mind-body package to the point where the Divine takes over and lives itself.
Everything here would not be available without Elysha’s sharing’s and continued love and support over these many years. Ever since meeting Elysha, in February 2003, and the actual beginning of practicing Elysha’s teaching, in May 2003, I had been looking for an anchor with which to solidify and bring consistency to my practice. This looking was not an overt manipulation or thought, just something which was always in the background. It was known that living in the natural state had to be easier than I was making it out to be.
Since the start I could feel the beauty and precision involved in cutting past the baggage and focusing only on the real, which meant that the Self / mind-body package was not being fed, and therefore at some stage it would die and fall away. It really did appear to be a hard and long process though. It seemed to only be through lots and lots of hard work that insights and breakthroughs occurred.
With this new seeing finally an easy anchor was found.
This is now being brought into the routine of others and is having immediate results.

Learn Easy Meditation
With most meditations and practices, as they are often quite difficult to do - especially at the beginning, the tendency is to create a ‘something’ once it is found in order to make the 'finding' feel worth while.
Unfortunately, this is a trap which can divert you from the true path for many years. These years may be joy and ecstasy filled with lots of experiences. Created changes will even appear to occur from within it, but it is all one step removed from the nothing which is your true nature. Essentially you will be going around in circles, chasing your own tail. Real movement is actually locked out.
After the pain and suffering of life before this stage the feelings are very much enjoyed, and understandably so, it is just not the real.
During my practice over the past years, and being somewhat lazy by nature, the easiest way to do things has always been looked for. Not in order to get out of any work which may be involved, but to succinctly get on with whatever it happens to be.
That is where this Powerful Peace Program™ is such a wonderful opportunity for anyone who has been searching for their true nature. It dissolves the search and brings you into direct contact with the Divine source of life and from there you cannot possibly go wrong, and all with complete ease.
This is not a means to an end practice, but as mentioned above, it is directly entering your true nature immediately. Therefore it never gets outdated or holds you back in any way, quite on the contrary, it merely becomes second nature and releases you into the natural motion of life which only draws you forward along the true path.
Julie stabilised in the Oneness/Awakened state of Self Realization in Dec 2003,and the Self dissolved in Dec 2007 into the no-self state. Visit Julie’s website www.TrueNatureCentre.com for the Powerful Peace Program™.

A Spiritual Voyage Through The Dissolution Of The Self From An Experiential Perspective - 30th Oct ’07
Below are some rough notes in diary form which may help to explain the extent to which the revelation which is shared in the Powerful Peace Program™ can cut to the core of your being and set you free from the Self.
---
30th Oct ’07
There began a vibrating through my being which felt that its touch would simply shatter all aspects of it. The physical was unmistakable with an internal ‘tremor’ from toe to crown. Chills coursing up and down the spine and a burning heat pulsing up after it. Heart beating wildly in the chest. The ground beneath the chair felt that it had turned to jelly and an earthquake was jerking it about, but the jelly made the jerking more of a wobble back and forth, as if sitting on an exercise ball on the deck of a ship bobbing on the ocean.
Nauseated and deeply shaken. At any moment the chair could flip forward and I would fall into nothing. The far reaching reverberations on the sense of spirituality were to a depth which I cannot explain. It felt that a shard of glass had been shoved through everything and had touched to the very core. The possibility of shattering was on the brink. There was a heavy pressure at the centre of the top of the head, as if a stake had been driven in and was burning there.
(This last sensation of the stake occurred again a couple of weeks later and lasted a week or more. The vibrating ‘tremor’ became a ‘normal’ part of life for the next few months, with the jelly floor and earthquake motion kicking in on the more intense occasions and all three (tremor/quake/jelly floor) fluctuating in intensity and getting more pronounce during intense sittings. The nausea and a woozy light-headedness also come and go fairly regularly.)

I am reminded of times as a child when for no apparent external reason my heart felt broken, trampled and empty. On these occasions I would secretly pray to God for help. (It had to be secretly because someone I loved and respected had told me when I was very young that there was no God and I was stupid for being so gullible.) This happened many times, feeling lost, alone and empty as if a yawning hole had opened up inside, revealing my true nature and my immature mind-body couldn’t help but overflow into despair.
During today’s sitting there was another very vivid experience which has happened many times in my life. Often it has occurred when I am trying to get to sleep and the feeling of the body would start ballooning out until it felt 10 feet tall and just as wide, but still with the form in proportion. Like a giant dough boy. Accompanying this was a taste, sharply metallic is the only way I can describe it. I knew this taste and feeling very deeply. I would often try to place it and bring it into memory, but I never could.
This instep of the mind trying to place the experience inevitably dissolved it and again it was gone, leaving behind only the bewilderment of an answer being on the tip of my tongue. Over time I learned not to go looking for the memory, but to just let it be. This was an important learning which allows any experiences to come and go without attempting to manipulate or direct them in any way.

I felt a bucket of dread pour over the head and run slowly down the spine where the mind wanted to hang onto it and create a performance with it. This was clearly seen and was ignored through pin pointed practice. Although the dread or “fear of death” came up on many occasions, through this process it naturally was deeply faced and accepted into the being.
It was this afternoon that a revelation occurred which would change everything and turn my life upside down (for more details see Powerful Peace Program™).

It is amazing how life brings together many occurrences at just the right time in order to push the limits and therefore go beyond the normal everyday ‘seeing’.
Just such a ‘coming together’ took place for me today. Again the details are not important; suffice it to say there was an overload on the circuit board.
I had come to a place in my practice where I felt ‘found’. I knew what to ‘do’ and I did it. Sure, not as much as I felt I should, but would it ever be enough? Life was comfortable, but there had also been the feeling of an under the surface agitation bubbling around for some time. I can’t put my finger on it, but stirred up on all levels. The blood quietly boiling away in the background.
In the Oneness / Awakened state the insights and experience of all arising in and as the Divine, and the Divine being everywhere and everything (beyond consciousness, the Self, and the mind-body package) has been obvious. This has been consistently tested by life and the obviousness, and the freedom which this brings, fluctuated accordingly.
Despite the freedom of the Oneness state I was aware that the mind was still going, I was still buying into it and really when I felt into it I was still suffering in a way that I thought would have finished many years before. There felt to be lots of changes but essentially I was still the same mess that I had always been, albeit with a more mature stance and view of things.
So after a particularly awful driving lesson, I arrived home and on the back doorstep the barriers broke and the practice which I had been doing for so long fell away. I gave in to the horror of the fact that none of it had truly worked as I had hoped and I was an empty liar. A sense of all of the ribbons which I hadn’t realised I had been holding tightly, and which held life together as I knew it, fell away and I was left with nothing. The tears flowed and seemed that they would never stop.
At first the mind was drawn to a sense of panic. Looking for excuses and reasons - energetic, medical and otherwise - which could explain away what was happening. To give some ground to stand on.
Even with the deeper knowing that it was unexplainable, this reasoning is what had been done forever. I had been feeling bashed down and undermined at a deep level, as if whatever I did wasn’t enough, like I was always being told off and sent back to the beginning. Obviously, this feeling was mind made and had been given a storyline which I also knew was only to help me feel valid in some way. When spoken aloud to Elysha, after he found me in a heap on the doorstep, it was known that it was for the last time.
As the possible reasons where given voice they were seen to be totally wrong and with this seeing the mind, manifestation and everything in it was again clearly seen to be entirely separate from the real beauty of this One that I am. It was also seen that the Self was an impermanent manifestation which was absolutely not required.
This had been seen before on many occasions, but not to this depth of clarity. The panic abated at this time, as the separation from the mind left the space to settle. The experience was stand alone and unable to be touched on any level, not being done or able to be manipulated, only happening and that was it. This movement of trying to find out ‘why’ then fell away, there was no need left. With that Elysha and I got ready and went down to the Ashram.

At first the deep sense of peace and beauty carried on, but later that day the body was left exhausted and for the next few weeks the body awoke every morning in a state of exhaustion, as if there was no internal energy to do anything and no-one there to care. It felt that there was a heavy weight pushing down, making every move a chore which needed to be gone through. As if a thousand hands were grasping at the cellular structure and squeezing. I started to take a handful of vitamins and herbal supplements to attempt to alleviate the stress on the body. Plenty of deep breathing seemed necessary, as if this would stop the body from falling down and disappearing into nothingness. It was felt that one day the breathing and trembling will stop and everything will disappear with it. For now though the breathing appears to help to get through the harder physical aspects and seems to bring more physical stamina and step by step life goes on.
When the exhaustion of the body got too much over the ensuing weeks and it was mentioned to others, it was received with surprise that anything had been occurring at all. On the surface it appears that nothing was noticeable. This initially struck me as amazing, as I had been arriving at the Ashram for each session with the energy reserves so depleted that as soon as the bum hits the seat tears of relief spring to the eyes. Not touched emotionally, it just appeared to be a physical reaction. Even sitting in the chair sometimes was too much to bear and the body screams to lie down. Thank God for the freedom and simplicity of life at the Ashram. A true blessing.
The day to day chores and mechanical flow of life all continued as before, but with no energy going into them. Pushing through in some moments and melting into the abyss in others, no choice in any of it. During sittings it was felt that the body and all of existence was melting and would never return again. When the end of the session came and the responsibilities of life started up again the moves would occur and life would go on as usual.
Internally, however, was a whole new paradigm. The perspective had shifted to a whole new sense. The mind was still functioning, but restricted to a strictly practical level. Not a constant burble and with no energy to touch this place. Like a waterfall in slow motion, which defies gravity and seems to float quietly past making no ripple within itself and touching nothing. Only spontaneously emerging when needed and then fading away again.

Over the past few days I have mentioned some changes to Elysha and the family at the Ashram. It is so very difficult to describe, such simplicity is stand alone, and there is also no urge to bother describing. It was only when asked a direct question from Elysha that the attempt was made. All that can be said at this stage is this:-
There is the feeling of being finished. The end. The attention is held right here, in the body, in the moment, with no-one and no-thing. The depth of feeling and connection at the eyes when open and closed is no longer here. There is no internal centre. There is no feeling at all other than the senses operating. It is as if all of the doors to the mind have been shut. Nothing scary, nothing monstrous, just nothing here.
It reminds me of math problems. All my life when a math problem comes up, it is as if the mind doesn’t know how to cope with it somehow and therefore it is just left empty, stuck, blankly staring like a rabbit caught in the headlights. As a child this made me feel as though I was stupid, but as I grew up I came to accept it and was more than happy to leave others to figure things out. Occasionally, when the need was really there I was able to push beyond the blank and make the effort to ‘figure out’ the problem, but that ability is not available here. Now there is no need for a math problem, the mind cannot reflect on anything and everything which is is blank.
On the day to day level everything has become as normal. Much more simple. Natural. If something is required from the mind it is here, no-one to go looking and no-one who cares if nothing comes at all.

Straight away after sitting down at the Ashram this morning there was an intense feeling which started to shine from halfway between the heart and the solar plexus. Elysha was talking about the mindbody package, and suddenly it struck. That was it. The penny dropped with a clunk. That is what had been missing from the picture over the past weeks. The mindbody package was gone. The Self was gone. There were no internal arisings, no emotions, and no feelings of the package of who I thought I was, which felt like it was just the tip of the iceberg with loads more under the surface. Nothing.
With this revelation the feeling in my chest lit up like a fire and felt as though it was burning and shining like a great beacon of joy. I saw that the Self is dead, in a clear momentary flash. A huge smile suddenly burst out. Joy was breaking through and there was no containing it.

The main things which I have been noticing are the things which have fallen away. It is almost shocking to see that there are no reactive ‘buttons’. This covers so much more than I could have possibly imagined. It means that whatever circumstances occur in life nothing can cause an internal waver or reaction of any kind. This goes for all aspects, both negative and positive. There are no upsetting/emotional or satisfaction/gratification reactions from any circumstances.
There is no-one here to look a certain way, come across a certain way or make any impression whatsoever. There is no-one here at all.

With the falling away of the complexities of life over the past 4 years, through practice and many brick walls, life has become its own routine. Not dull and tedious, but still with a definite schedule in order to get everything done. The creating of more and more jobs to be done is no longer the case and in its place a simplicity and minimalist attitude has brought with it quite a structured routine. Within this routine all responsibilities are cared for thoroughly and simply and the space is then available for more sitting.
This routine has been the savings grace over these past weeks (now known to have been the process of the dissolution of Self or no-self). It has meant that life can go on without thought, as the routine has become somewhat automatic. Therefore nothing has essentially changed from the outward day to day side of things, although it is now down to the bare minimum. The garden is left to grow, the house is cleaned once a week, and lunch is eating crackers and cheese more and more out of sheer disinterest in food. Food is still being forced down as much as possible, in order to not fall into bad habits and to keep the physical energy levels from plummeting even further.
Without the input of the mind adding memory and feeling to things, like food, disinterest is bound to follow. It is amazing how seeing things as they truly are brings everything to the same level of insignificance. The routine has also meant that there was no chance of forgetting anything, like feeding the cat for instance. Looking in retrospect, without this routine, forgetting to ‘bother’ would have been very easy. Nothing seems to matter; it is all empty and meaningless.
Silence is the only respite, and is gratefully here at all times.

The body is filled with what has now become the usual quiet joy/peace/love/space/isness, which is the base of everything. It is as if every cell of the body is in complete harmony and each cell seems to be emanating gratitude, although it is just the naturally functioning senses and nothing more. This is very difficult to describe to others because the mind immediately turns it into something else. It simply means seeing, feeling, tasting, touching, hearing everything as it is in this moment without the veil of the mind creating something over the top. Simple. This is all that is left when the mindbody package is gone. There are no internal arisings, no knower, no being, and no experience, no-one left. The mind without a feeling centre is left powerless so remains quiet although still there, separate and unable to touch this. A whole new dimension, although everything appears the same.
It has been quite a relief to see that the physical is starting to strengthen. This new beginning seems to be settling in beautifully and quite quickly. Definitely still with strange moments, but easier every day.
Time has warped, with so much daily change. Has it only been a couple of months?

The seeings and insights, over the years in the Oneness state, have brought levels of maturity, balance and a depth to the experience of life which is entirely clouded and therefore overlooked in the egoic state. Because these insights and seeings have been transitory experiences they cannot be the truth in themselves. Becoming aware of the still, unchanging, ageless centre which is throughout all experience is the base and importance of every insight.
All of these experiences shared here can be tossed in the rubbish. Any experience is not the nothing which is your true nature.
In essence all experiences can only be an unconscious projection from the Self or mindbody package, of the Divine. Not the Divine itself, simply triggered by touching on the Divine.
That which is through all experience cannot be affected by anything. It is only that, which is left when experience is gone.
Now there is no experiencer, nor any experience to be experienced.
The body is filled with what has now become the usual quiet joy/peace/love/space/isness, which is the base of everything. It is as if every cell of the body is in complete harmony and each cell seems to be emanating gratitude, although it is just the naturally functioning senses and nothing more. This is very difficult to describe to others because the mind immediately turns it into something else. It simply means seeing, feeling, tasting, touching, hearing everything as it is in this moment without the veil of the mind creating something over the top. Simple. This is all that is left when the mindbody package is gone. There are no internal arisings, no knower, no being, and no experience, no-one left. The mind without a feeling centre is left powerless so remains quiet although still there, separate and unable to touch this. A whole new dimension, although everything appears the same.

Nothing, literally means nothing.
To be free of the Self should not be underestimated.
Time has been shown to be necessary for the physical and physiological changes to settle into the system. There are still moments when it feels like a personification of 'The Scream' painting by Edvard Munch, but this is always a physical reaction to being around selfish behaviour. In most moments though the beauty of the flow of life is seen. Both are the same. In reality there is no difference between these two seemingly opposite reflections of life and that sameness is the beauty of seeing things as they are, not getting lost in the appearance of life.
There is still no experience arising internally so that has become the normal everyday status and is not noticed anymore. This is a blessed relief from the former turmoil which would come in cycles and throw the system from one extreme (frustration) to the other (bliss). These cycles had gotten less extreme and more subtle over the years in the Oneness/Awakened state, which brought more balance, but it was felt nonetheless.
When relaxed and the eyes close, while sitting at the Ashram, the world dissolves and it leaves the body with the head lolling about as if it is asleep. There is no-one there to hold the head up and no-one there to care. These sittings are very still and very peaceful.
If only we could all learn to live as this One, the planet would be a true delight. In time the Ashram will be a place where service alone is lived. The sooner the better. Instead of building the Self up, we will be tearing it down by simply getting out of the way and choosing the love of the Heart.

Those of you who are truly ready to let go and live open handed as the Divine source of life have found the right place. (www.TrueNatureCentre.com)
All that is being shared here is from Julie Sarah Powell's direct experience.
It has all taken place due to practicing and living Elysha's teaching which brought about stabilisation in the Oneness / Awakened state of self realization in December 2003. A further falling away of the Self transpired in December 2007.)
During this process (the dissolution of Self) a seeing occurred which has brought complete ease to the practice of Elysha's teaching, and is shared in detail in the Powerful Peace Program™.
This seeing explains how to bring every man into his / her true nature, very quickly and easily if intensely implemented into the day to day routine of life. Poetically speaking, the act is drawing the Divine through the Self or mind-body package to the point where the Divine takes over and lives itself.
Everything here would not be available without Elysha’s sharing’s and continued love and support over these many years. Ever since meeting Elysha, in February 2003, and the actual beginning of practicing Elysha’s teaching, in May 2003, I had been looking for an anchor with which to solidify and bring consistency to my practice. This looking was not an overt manipulation or thought, just something which was always in the background. It was known that living in the natural state had to be easier than I was making it out to be.
Since the start I could feel the beauty and precision involved in cutting past the baggage and focusing only on the real, which meant that the Self / mind-body package was not being fed, and therefore at some stage it would die and fall away. It really did appear to be a hard and long process though. It seemed to only be through lots and lots of hard work that insights and breakthroughs occurred.
With this new seeing finally an easy anchor was found.
This is now being brought into the routine of others and is having immediate results.

Visiting Elysha - An Authentic Self Realized Teacher Of The Heart
Elysha is my heart standing outside of myself and calling me home.
I understand how that statement may sound to any cynics out there, and I am aware that there are many, so please bear with me.
Unfortunately, without actually meeting Elysha you can make many sweeping statements about Him. How you think Elysha should act, how Elysha looks, and who you think Elysha is. Always using your own judgments of yourself to project whatever negativity onto Elysha that you can, in order to disprove what He has to say.
That is what the mind is doing, in any case. Your heart, on the other hand, if allowed to show itself, will shine in all of its glory and beauty at seeing itself in motion.
So with that said, obviously it is not until you actually meet Elysha and spend some time sitting with Elysha that you come to really realize that the above statement is utterly unmistakeable and true in your own case. How could it be otherwise? Elysha is who you are and He lives it through and through in every moment. This is how Elysha is able to bring you to that same place of knowing who you are.
You will also come to realize that everything that Elysha says and calls for you to ‘do’ is for one purpose only, and that is to bring you back home to the heart via the quickest route possible.
I don’t mean that this will occur through sitting with Elysha for a day, or even two. Hell, a week in His energy may have you climbing the walls and wanting to run away.
It is after that initial stage, of mistrust and fear of losing who you ‘think you are’, has passed, through you staying in place, and letting the energy of the message penetrate until the commitment is felt to actually try and put the teaching which Elysha has to share with us to the test and 'live’ it in your day to day life, that is when the magic starts to reveal itself.
There is no ‘doing’ in the teaching, only the "stopping and dropping" of any doing and the "seeing and being" of who you are. It is only through the energetic living of this that reality hits you between the eyes. How can it be otherwise? Talking about it obviously won't change a thing. It absolutely has to be energetic.
During this time you will have many seeings and it is through those seeings that the shell in which you live, which includes the mistrust and fear of being free, starts breaking down and a glimmer of your heart starts to shine through.
I have seen many people come into contact with Elysha. Elysha has no airs of being separate or above anyone and no religious agendas are being played out, Elysha therefore can be taken for granted in a very short time. The general tendency is to initially stand in awe of Elysha and then to project all manner of issues onto Him and use that as an excuse not to listen to His message and therefore not to reap the rewards which Elysha is very passionately bestowing on us. This immature, mind oriented motion obviously has people believing that they know everything which Elysha is saying and equating their own experience with His.
Unfortunately respect flies out of the window at this stage and familiarity does its normal act of breeding contempt and it leaves you walking out the door with no more insight into what you get up to which is locking you out of your own heart. A crying shame indeed.
Again, on the other hand if you listen to your heart, stay in Elysha's company and quietly sit through the stirred up resistance of the mindbody, allowing this resistance to move through and out of the system while Elysha draws you more and more deeply into your self, you will reap such rewards that you could not ever imagine. Words are unable to express the joy and wonderment which is felt and lived from that moment on. The heart incarnating into this mindbody and onto this planet and love being lived in its fullness and freedom.
