Recently uploadedtalks from earlier in the Year 2010,
- Allah_Hu_Meditation_For_Balance Oct 5 2010 Meditate and clear open the energy channels of the body using the power of the breath, then use the sounds ‘al’ ‘lah’ and ‘hu’ to expand the imagination; discuss the nature of the human rhythm, and return to contemplative meditation to bring balance between stillness and activity, sleeping and waking. “Use the will to experience oneness, or stillness, through activity, or continuity.” -Shahabuddin
- Giving_Up_Control_To_Unlock_The_Power_Of_The_Unconscious Nov 2 2010 This class expounds upon the need along the spiritual path to access the unconscious self, which is a process of surrender to our own higher selves. “We want to raise up from the servant of desire to the minister of what’s higher.” -Shahabuddin
- The_Struggle_Part_1 Nov 16 2010
- The_Struggle_Part_2 Nov 30 2010 A continuation on the discussion of the role of struggle and conflict in human nature, in life on earth, and toward the advancement and realization of human beings, by incorporating the struggle into our joy with our hearts, and not with our minds: "It is the conflict that draws us upward, it is the conflict that awakens us, and it is the conflict that ultimately will unite us." -Shahabuddin

- Prayer_Beseeching_Help A deep call for inner help led by Shahabuddin.
- No_Answers_Here_Jun_15_2010 "Concepts excite us for a moment - but they really don't pierce the armor of our habitual being, but the energy of presence, of God's presence, really pierces through our own habit of being who we are. The whole path...is changing, releasing yourself from the hold that the habitual mind has on the Self." Shahabuddin explores how answers are not what end the questions.
- The_Attachment_Of_Being_Right A deep remedy for the pattern of judgementality and closed-mindedness. Excerpted from the class 'A Cacophony of Pure Sound'.

- The_Natural_State_Apr_20_2010 Return to the natural state. "Meditation does not exist. Anything that exists is not meditation - meditation is the natural state. It's life, it's really being present in life. The difficulty is very simple, we confuse thinking with our life, so whatever we think, we think that's our life, instead of looking at it and saying, 'oh, that's my thinking.'" -Shahabuddin
- Experience_Of_Sound_Mar_23_2010 Experience the depth of how sound can affect our consciousness. "If your mind says why, stop making the sound, or says this is miraculous, or this is silly, stop making the sound. Just focus on the sound, not on the background chatter of the mind."
- Breath_Faith_And_Understanding_Feb_23_2010 When Jesus was saying "Blessed are the meek," he was saying...Blessed are those of the gentle, refined, breath, for the gentle refined breath is the Kingdom of Heaven.

- Meditations_On_Light_2_2_2010 The Sufis have a saying: "In order to stare at the sun, you must have eyes that are made of the sun." Enjoy a deep exploration of light with Shahabuddin and of the many realms and heavens with Zaid.
- Death's_Gift_To_Life_Jan_26_2010 Many of us "never use the benefit of the fact that we're going to die, as a gift, which it really is intended to be...the Buddha said - as a thing is viewed, so it appears. If we can change our point of view, we can change our life." Shahabuddin takes us on a tour of death open new perceptions of death.

"Because we don't often take the time to experience what's really going on behind the words, we begin to believe in words, rather than believing in who we are, what we could be, and the process of self-discovery gets covered over by our wonderful discoveries that we can put into conceptual thoughts and words." -Shahabuddin
