The magic happens in silence, when love consumes your self-concept. You become food for love, ingested completely. Then, what separates you from love itself? Happiness is realizing yourself as love, allowing it to express freely.

People try to understand with their mind, and ego rises. The ego absorbs all the teaching. Instead, keep your head outside—don't try to understand. Let it go right to the bullseye and you are a good shot.

When you're fully committed to yourself, you begin to reveal yourself. But what's holding us back? Our attachments to our stories. We all live in our own story, 'me and my life, me and my world'. That's the ego of suffering.

We're all trapped in personal stories—about ourselves, our lives, and everything we own. But this story is never happy. It's a constant hunger for more, different, better. Unfulfilled desires are the root of suffering. Recognize the pattern to break free.

To practice meditation, expect improvement. Anything you practice, you'll get better at it. Don't copy others; go alone and face yourself. It’s the challenge of a lifetime, ending attachments to discover what's unfinished.

Freedom has already chosen you; otherwise, you wouldn't feel this pull. The key is tending to that inner flame, keeping it strong by serving and loving the light within yourself. Give yourself fully to this calling, and you'll live as a true expression of freedom and love. Have you felt this?

It can be hard to tell the difference between love and desire. When desire is the primary driver, it can pollute the purity of love. Personal fears, neediness, and judgments can taint the experience, preventing true fulfillment. Have you ever felt this way?

Eli Jaxon-Bear

A life long search for freedom took Eli Jaxon-Bear around the world and into many spiritual traditions from a Zen monastery in Japan to a Sufi circle in Marrakesh, among others. His search ended when he was drawn to India (1990) where he met his final teacher, Sri H.W.L Poonja, lovingly known as Papaji; a direct disciple of the renowned Indian Sage Ramana Maharshi.

Confirming Eli’s realization, his teacher sent him back into the world to share his unique psychological insights into the nature of egoic suffering in support of self-realization.

Eli infuses his teaching with his teacher’s living transmission of silence and peace. He presents a unique map of egoic identification as a vehicle for ruthless self-inquiry and final realization of true freedom. His life is dedicated to passing on the transmission of his teacher.

Eli founded and currently teaches through The Leela Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to world peace and freedom through universal self-realization, as well as The Leela School.
