What You Truly Are
Australian enlightened master Vishrant says spirituality has become a dirty word.
He much prefers to describe himself as a âreality teacherâ âand in fact says thatâs far more accurate.
âIn the West, we believe that we are the mind and the body.
"Weâre firmly caught in that belief system that we are the mind and the body.
"I know myself as Beingness, or pure awareness.
"Everybody has that awareness.
"Everybody is that.
"Few people are aware of it.
"Itâs not in our culture to even look for it.
"[Yet,] everybodyâs aware of their mind.
"'What is this that is aware?'
"'What is aware of the mind?'
"I teach people to go beyond the mind.
"To find what is actually real.
"What they truly are.
"Not what they think they are, but what they truly are.â - Vishrant
Find Out For Yourself
Vishrant found himself as Truth more than 25 years ago.
This was after years as a dedicated sannyasin and disciple of Indian guru Osho Rajneesh.
Vishrant has worked to strip conventional Buddhism of its hinderances.
He says, on the arcane and ritualistic aspects of most Eastern religions..
That these aspects hinder as many seekers as they help.
Vishrant doesnât tell anyone the path is easy or that they should believe him.
âFind out for yourself.
"I donât offer faith or belief systems.
"I point in a direction that people can go if they want, or not go.
"I ask people to look for themselves.
"Investigate for themselves.
"Lift the rocks and see whatâs underneath." - Vishrant
Not for the Gutless
Vishrant uses a direct approach that is not for the faint of heart.
âHigher consciousness is for the bold, not the gutless.â
He encourages his students to practice ruthless self-honesty.
And, to always to step through fear.
From The Land of The Lost to Superconsciousness
"Unless you wake up to your true nature, you're lost.
"You may not think you are but you are, because living as an ego is not living as reality.
"The saddest thing to happen to a human being is:
"To live as an ego, because the ego is not programmed for happiness;
"It is programmed for misery, hence the suffering on the planet.
"You don't see animals suffering like humans do.
"Humans are just suffering machines because:
- They are constantly wanting what they haven't got,
- Or wanting to change what they do have,
- And are constantly getting attached to what they do have and are fearful of losing it.
"The only way out of this is enlightenment, which is to know yourself as truth..
"Higher consciousness will set you free from a lot of suffering;
"Superconsciousness will completely set you free.
"There is nothing more important than this."

Vishrant's Public Offerings
Vishrant offers public Satsang online and in person three times per week.
In addition, private meetings held in the Mystery School he runs in the Perth hills near the world-famous Araluen Estate.
Thanks to the work of his dedicated sannyasins, Vishrantâs streamlined approach to Buddhism is now more widely available to a global audience than ever before.
While satsang is ultimately geared towards people seeking enlightenment, Vishrantâs pragmatic teachings on higher consciousness can benefit people from all walks of life.
Vishrant is taking new online students in his clear, directed course Highway to Freedom. This self-initiated course takes students from a confused place of "I don't know which way to go to move toward Higher Consciousness" directly into a reality of personal liberation and freedom within 90 days.
âI donât call myself a spiritual teacher. I call myself a reality teacher because the truth is weâre talking about reality.
Beingness, what we truly are, is reality.â
