In the latest installment of the Parallel Perception Podcast, we welcome a constellation of insightful minds for a deep dive into the essence of spiritual evolution.
This episode features Lujan Matus, the adept teacher of Lo Ban Pai, alongside host David Bernard and dedicated students Blaine Reylek and Sarah Stenqvist. It is a treasure trove of wisdom for seekers of truth.
The conversation opens with a candid discussion on skepticism—a natural companion on the journey of spiritual discovery. In a world brimming with proclaimed gurus and masters, the initial wariness we might feel can actually be a compass, guiding us toward authenticity and away from the pitfalls of blind faith.
Lujan Matus, with his rich experience and gentle authority, addresses the natural concerns that arise when one embarks on a spiritual path. Far from dismissing skepticism, he acknowledges it as a stepping stone to deeper understanding.
Throughout the podcast, Lujan elucidates on the updated core programs of Lo Ban Pai— the Gravity Series and Opening the Tao – highlighting their role as the bedrock of the practice, essential for both new entrants and returning students.
The conversation gracefully meanders to the topic of spiritual powers. Lujan offers an enlightened perspective, suggesting that while powers, or siddhis, may emerge as byproducts of spiritual practice, they are not the focal point.
True power lies in the ability to communicate, to transmit love, and to operate from a place of equanimity. It’s about bridging the gap between teacher and student, ensuring that the learning space is one of mutual elevation rather than hierarchy.
Further enriching the discussion, Lujan shares personal experiences that exemplify the delicate interplay of power and humility. He reveals his own practices, demonstrating how he ensures that any display of extraordinary ability is immediately followed by imparting the knowledge to his students. This approach demystifies the ‘magic’ and anchors the experience in learning and growth.
A poignant moment unfolds as Lujan speaks of the pinnacle of spiritual achievements—love and affection. He describes the transformative power of acknowledging and embracing one’s weaknesses, thus turning them into strengths. This, he asserts, is the ultimate journey that matters most.
As the podcast draws to a close, listeners are left with a profound sense of the sacredness embedded in everyday life. Lujan’s teachings, steeped in love and authenticity, call us to live fully, embrace the now, and journey with an open heart.
For those seeking a life infused with spiritual significance, Lujan Matus’s teachings offer more than just techniques—they offer a pathway to the heart.
