069: Your Unique Vibration Is the Key to Spiritual Awakening

Discover the revolutionary approach of Faisu meditation, where your unique spiritual signature becomes the key to profound transformation. This isn't just another meditation technique—it's a personalized path that recognizes your individuality while guiding you toward universal consciousness.

At the heart of this practice lies a fascinating process where your eyes—truly the windows to your soul—reveal your distinctive vibrational signature. Unlike conventional systems that rely on pre-established mantras, Faisu meditation creates a personal mantra derived from the subtle vibrations emanating from your iris. This isn't an artificial tool but rather your authentic essence, condensed into a powerful sound that unlocks your spiritual potential.

The origins of this practice are as compelling as its methodology. Born from the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, Faisu meditation emerged when its founder courageously advocated for human unity despite facing persecution. Like Nelson Mandela, he became a light in the darkness, recognizing that our shared humanity transcends superficial differences. This historical foundation infuses the practice with a profound commitment to breaking barriers and fostering connection.

Regular practitioners become what the teacher calls "beacons of light"—individuals who radiate love, consciousness, and happiness into a world desperately needing these qualities. The meditation journey begins with acknowledging your uniqueness but ultimately leads to experiencing the universality that connects us all. Through this process, fear and prejudice dissolve as the heart unfolds its natural capacity for compassion and acceptance.

the eyes are the windows of the soul, and this is very true. When we communicate, we look into people's eyes, don't we? We get those feelings of trust, of love. You know, we're not looking at their big toe, we're looking in their eyes and I perceive their subtle vibration that they emanate. Okay, which is a condensed, subtle version. I would write that in word or syllable form and that would formulate your own personal mantra. You're not using an artificial tool, and this is what makes our system so very different.

Speaker 2: 0:37

You are using your own vibration to grow yourself what makes faisu meditation different from any other forms of meditation?

Speaker 1: 0:52

Okay, I think the most important thing at our is that we give individually, so practices are given depending on the person. So the course is very similar, but fundamentally we use a mantra, which is a string of words or syllables that we repeat in meditation. Now, in most other systems, these are what's called Bija mantras. They come, they're considered to be primal sounds that were there when the universe was created and, yes, they have some significant emphasis, but it's not your sound. You know what is your unique vibration. What is your unique vibration? So if we were to condense you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually into a sound, into a vibration, because of our uniqueness, which we have found through neuroplasticity, which our fingerprint confirms, the iris in our eye and our DNA, they all confirm that, even though you and I are related as the brotherhood of man, we are totally unique because that neuroplasticity, which gives us the ability to adapt to new situations, has been such a profound part of our survival system and therefore we have found that individuality. Now our path is to go from individuality to universality, but to do that we need to use your unique vibration, so we need to condense you. So if you come to learn in Faisu, you'll be asked to supply a photograph, without glasses or contact lenses, of your eyes, because one of my countrymen, who you will know very well, so william shakespeare, has said the eyes are the windows of the soul. Okay, and this is very true. When we communicate, we look into people's eyes, don't we get those feelings of trust, of love? You know, we're not. We're not looking at their big toe, we're looking in their eyes. True, true, um, and that's how we communicate. So the windows are really, they are definitely the windows of the soul. So I meditate on that person, on their photograph, and I perceive their subtle vibration that they emanate.

Speaker 1: 3:41

Okay, which is a condensed, subtle version. I would write that in word or syllable form and that would formulate your own personal mantra. So, in fact, you're not using an artificial tool, and this is what makes our system so very different. You are using your own vibration to grow yourself, so to speak, to unfold yourself, because the essence of that vibration is divine, it is universal, but the personal mantra helps you draw very effectively on that divine, universal level and, as we said, bring those energies to a higher level that we can use them in our daily life to better ourselves and better those around us. So that's how we're really, really unique. You know, my guru trained me for this. This was his system. Okay, um, that that he created and, of course, for me, I'm a. You know, when we say guru, um spiritual teacher or guru, it's a wonderful word. It's two syllables, goo and rue, and they're sanskrit words, and goo means darkness and rue means light. So guru is just someone who leads you from the darkness to the light.

Speaker 2: 5:08

Simple enough.

Speaker 1: 5:11

Through my own realizations and reaching that enlightened level, I can have these abilities to perceive those subtle vibrations. And not only perceive them them, but give them a boost, give them force and awaken that force in you. And that's the key once you are spiritually awakened, everything changes in your life. Okay, so when we're practicing regularly, but then you know we start off with a simple technique, then we go to the more advanced techniques with the personal mantra, so that you're prepared in that journey, and then this takes you to completely new levels of self-discovery, of spirituality, of consciousness now you said, the personal mantra is unique for everyone no duplicates, okay, no duplicates

Speaker 2: 6:13

no duplicates same right um. You mentioned your guru, and he devised this system yes, yes um, where, where did his inspiration come from? How did he? You know, like I'm just trying to understand as far as um, with his background and yeah how did he come up with a fayasu meditation? What influenced that? Okay?

Speaker 1: 6:40

yeah, well, he was obviously born in india, born in the state of gujarat, okay, um, and transitioned to south africa, um, during the partition between Pakistan and India, and firstly they went to Durban and they settled there for a few months, but they ended up in Cape Town and I really think he had to be there simply because of the apartheid regime that was there. He was definitely, like Nelson Mandela, a great light in the darkness down there. He was threatened with arrest continually because he spoke publicly about the unity of man, the color of skin didn't matter, that we're all related as the human race, and he was often threatened. And that's how I came to know him because, as I said, I was a travel agent and I was asked to get his visas because in those days if you were a South African, because of apartheid, you need a visa for every country in the world except the UK because of the colonial links. So he went there, he started, uh, he had a guru, himself in india, a teacher, and he, he, from a very early age, had these realizations as a young teenager and he wanted to just be a monk in in the caves and his guru said no, this isn't for you, you have to go to the west, you have to teach, uh, western people. You know, you have to bring your message to a western audience and that's what he strove to do and believe you me, it wasn't easy.

Speaker 1: 8:34

Um, you know, I the first time I went to cape town, just before I knew about him. You know, it's crazy things, like on a beach, there would be two faucets, as you keep them, or taps as we call them in england. In england, one will, one will be labeled colored water and the other would be water. And I was like, what do you mean colored water? You know, it was for the colored people to drink from that tap and they couldn't drink from the white tap, from the normal tap. Yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 2: 9:09

This was early 80s.

Speaker 1: 9:12

I was there in 85. 85, okay, and this was towards the end of of of apartheid, but yeah, it was all these conflicts. I mean it's very confusing when you get there because in fact we were breaking the law because my wife was from Trinidad, she was considered colored and, okay, she was partly mixed race, she was considered coloured and I was considered white and you were not allowed to have relationships between coloured and white. It was breaking the law, you couldn't get married, you couldn't, couldn't do anything. So in fact we were there breaking the law officially, um, but it didn't bother us, you know, and we saw the contrast.

Speaker 1: 9:54

You know, I always say there are two great men from South Africa. One is Nelson Mandela, who Garage knew, not very closely, but they had met and Garage, because he brought these profound teachings to the world, and our organization was born from that apartheid struggle because he wanted to bring. You know, why do these people feel like we're different? Because we don't have a white skin? So that gave him, I suppose, the fodder to say I'm not going to stand for this, I'm going to teach, I'm going to change this. And wonderfully, we see now, after him and Mandela you know, gone, passed away that there are huge changes down there, you know, and that people without a white skin can be prosperous, they can have everything a white person can have, and that's amazing. But I think it's such an incredible part of our history that we arose because of that separation, of that conflict, of that disgusting you know, apartheid, which you know I'm embarrassed to say it was created by the British. You know, that's one part, one dark part of our past. But that is the truth and you know. But it's gone. It's gone. I mean, we do see those things in other parts of the world.

Speaker 1: 11:31

Of course, you know man's fear is prejudice. You know prejudice is just fear. You know I'm worried you're going to take something away from me, etc. So, you know, unless we can overcome that fear within ourselves and that's wonderful thing again meditation does it makes us more, much more altruistic. You know we care about other people more, we're more compassionate, we're more loving. Of course, because that's the biggest change in anyone is that unfoldment of the heart, so that love becomes the guiding force in our life and that touches everyone around us. It enables us to love ourselves, accept ourselves, you know, be content with ourselves, but then we begin to radiate that love to everyone around us, neighbor, anyone who pass in the street. I call all my meditators my little beacons of light because I know that through their unfoldment and many of them have been with me 40 years, etc. And there are 1000s of them around the world and I see them as my, my beacons of light, shining love, shining consciousness, shining happiness and helping to change the world.
