Satsangs
Satsangs
Our Satsangs offer a regular forum for people to explore Louix’s teachings and to learn about the many practical tools He offers to accelerate one’s spiritual development and to experience greater joy and inner peace. They are facilitated by His disciples, devotees, and others who have been deeply impacted by His presence in their lives. These gatherings explore many facets of conscious living, including:
• The Journey to God-Realization
• Meditation
• The Power of Gratitude
• Sacred Living
• Creating Abundance in your Life
• Divine Parenting
• Holistic Living
• Healing Disease
• Transmuting Fear and Anger
Satsangs are currently established in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. One of the goals of the Foundation will be to create guides and other materials to facilitate the study of Louix’s teachings by individuals and groups. The Foundation also plans to coordinate Satsangs in schools, universities, prisons, church groups, and other institutions that serve the greater community. To facilitate a Satsang, or to find out information about groups in your local area, please contact: sylvia@Louix.org.

What does it mean to be enlightened?
Q: What does it mean to be enlightened?
A: An enlightened being has more than fifty percent of his or her consciousness as being love-based. One who is not enlightened has more than fifty percent of his or her consciousness that is still fear-based. A consciousness that is mostly fear-based is ruled by a force, a gravity, that holds you in fear. You may have moments of bliss, moments of ecstasy, moments of rapture, Epiphanies and Revelations—when you have experiences of profound love and ecstasy. But, because most of your consciousness is still fear-based, that “gravity” eventually will pull you back into a life that is ruled by fear.
If you were illumined, the exact opposite would be true. Because most of your consciousness would be love-based, there would be a gravity that would hold you in a love consciousness. In this scenario, you would still have moments—because you are in a human body, living in the world, and interacting with people—when anger, fear, or sadness could come up. But, eventually, the gravity of pure love would pull you back into a loving space without your having to really do much, because your consciousness is mostly love-based. And that is one aspect of Enlightenment, as well as the differentiation between one who is enlightened and one who is unenlightened.
What has been the most difficult teaching you have received in this lifetime?
Q: Are you afraid of anything? What has been the most difficult teaching you have received in this lifetime?
A: I spend most of My time focusing on the myriad ways I can become more and more loving. As I ponder your question, though, musing about the greatest human fears—death (My own or that of a loved one), being alone, being abandoned, being physically harmed, contracting disease… none come to mind. Many of the things I used to fear, I still would rather not happen, though in My heart I know I would accept them (and have) if God and My soul needed Me to have these experiences. Nonetheless, I have had certain reflexive responses to stimuli, which, in the moment of occurrence, displayed elements of fear, and these indicated where I have still needed to grow in detachment and surrender. I will continue to welcome those opportunities if and when they come.
The most difficult teaching to master in life (as it was for My life, as well) is non-attachment—as it is, likewise, the source of one’s greatest inner peace. Being the loving observer; having an experience without becoming defined by it; allowing the ebb and flow of life, as does sand on a beach… these are the highest achievements, and the most difficult to achieve. The invitations to become attached are always there: seeing a “tragic” event in someone’s future (much less My own!) and having to watch it arrive and happen, while staying in a wholly loving and detached consciousness (like when I recently saw My own car accident two minutes before it happened; or when, during My training by the Masters back in the 90s, I watched My own death only minutes before it happened, and then had to allow and experience it; or knowing, in advance, the date and circumstances surrounding the passing of a loved one). I was actually quite surprised at seeing how non-attached I was in these situations.
My greatest challenge in the area of non-attachment has been in gifting people the answers to their questions, solutions to their problems, cures to what ails them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—at their request!—and then watching them walk away, not use or apply it, and continue to needlessly suffer. There have been moments when I still have felt a pang in My heart in just such a circumstance, though I know that part of that, for Me, also stems from the compassion I have for all living beings. Relieving the suffering in this world drives Me as much as does sharing My joyful experience of God with this world.
What is the quickest way to break from the grip of karma?
Q: Let’s say that someone becomes aware of a particularly negative karmic pattern in his/her life. Trying and trying to break it, people often make the same mistakes. What is the quickest way to break from the grip of karma, and how can we understand karma without being afraid of it?
A: Most people believe that “karma” is “bad things that happen to you because of bad things you have done in this or a past life.” That is incorrect. The Law of Karma is the Law of Balance. The whole Cosmos was constructed and is governed by the Laws of Cause and Effect. And karma is what maintains eternal balance throughout all of Creation. As you sow, so shall you reap. This applies to the sowing of loving, as well as non-loving, seeds. The Universe functions like a giant boomerang, which both amplifies and then returns to you whatever you send into it. Thus, there is nothing to fear about karma, nor can you “break from the grip” of karma, for there is no grip; there is simply “cause and effect.” It is by mastering these principles that ones can attain peace, harmony, and mastery in their lives.
While it is possible to avoid or escape an entire incarnation,
it is impossible to escape a single lesson your soul needs you to learn.
As far as trying to break the patterns, or repeating the same mistakes, it is helpful to understand that each circumstance will remain in your life until it has finished serving all the many functions for which your own soul wanted, needed, chose, and created it to serve. And each time it (the circumstance, the pattern) returns and is ignored, avoided, or otherwise left unattended and/or in a state of incompletion, your soul, in concert with the Universe, will send it to you again… except that the new circumstance will arrive “bigger” and “louder,” as your soul’s way of honoring you, recognizing that perhaps you didn’t notice it or weren’t able to hear the messages inherent in the (former) circumstance.
What is most liberating, inspiring, and empowering to know is this:
Everything that happens to you in life is solely for the purpose of your own God-realization.
Is humanity’s pain symbolic of the birthing of a new era in human consciousness?
Q: You have said that people are now experiencing more and more pain arising from decisions that are not made “in love.” Do you consider this to be symbolic of the birthing of a new era in human consciousness? How do you balance this kind of dualistic observation with staying centered in God?
A: What is dualistic is using one’s “free will” in opposition to God/love, and that creates pain and suffering—the very outward experience of dualistic thought, motive, and action. “Staying centered in God” means thinking, feeling, speaking, and acting as/with/for God, which means “in and from only Love.” Yes, indeed, the fact that it is becoming more and more painful for ones to continue living in dualistic opposition to God is most symbolic of the burgeoning new era in humanity’s consciousness. How wonderful. It is about time.
A Deeper Understanding of Karma

Louix Dor Dempriey explains the true dynamics and applications of Karma (the Law of Balance) and dispels the false notion that karma is "bad things that happen to you because of bad things that you did in the past." In so doing, He teaches us not only how we create karma, but also how we can transmute it.

More important than focusing on "what" happens in our lives, Louix encourages us to examine "why" any- and everything happens and the effect on one’s life by so doing, thereby showing us how the art of self-inquiry is one of the fastest and most powerful vehicles for the liberation of the soul.
