These Sharing’s during Satsang’s with Samarpan are from Retreats from January to April, 2010. Thank you to all who allowed the publication of their Sharing’s.
Video Part 1
What’s happening, what’s here; nothing missing; death and what comes after; let all the thoughts go; this, that is, will always be here; before birth, after death, no separation; coming into peace with your own feelings; peace radiates; the mind is afraid to come here; ego has no chance here; universe and mystery.
Part 2
Kids love the energy of peace and quiet; allowed to feel fear; coming into peace with this; acceptance; healing the home space; cleaning up the house, cleaning up the past. Reincarnation; when the idea of “me” is gone; what matters is now; there is nobody; peace is eternal; eternally practicing being here; seeing with a quiet mind; do what’s easy, play with it.
Part 3
All the suffering of the world is also ours. Not getting stuck in the thoughts and feelings; saying yes to this; what Is here; life arranging the perfect experience; not fooling ourselves; saying yes to how I am right now; our natural state. Bringing the light of heaven into the hell; bliss is easy; many ideas about enlightenment; the “I” has to come back; friends with all our dark corners; friendship with our psychic; grace comes; we are everything; experience what we are not okay with; being totally intimate with every aspect of myself; just being with this; Enlightenment is not the end, it’s the beginning; worship darkness and light; doing it “wrong” is very ripe.
These Sharing’s with Samarpan are from a retreat in January 2010. Thank you to all those who allowed the publication of their Sharing’s.
Video Part 1
Back and forth with old dramas; old problems showing up again and again; feeling small; close your eyes and welcome this, leave go of the ideas about it; we don’t have to worry about the patterns; vulnerability is your beauty; hurt can happen; no control, no defence is needed; let the heart be broken open; we have learned to build castles around ourselves; you begin to learn that feelings don’t damage anything; all the feelings of the world don’t belong to anyone personally; accepting the feelings, they are free to come and go; they are messages from the divine; good feelings and bad feelings need to be felt; when you play, you play for God; there are no professionals or armatures, only This. Look into the middle of your heart; the turmoil is always in the mind not in the heart; body sensations are caused by the mind; the heart of hearts is fine; there is nobody here. Understanding acceptance; being at peace with life’s circumstances, life’s plan.
Teil 2
Contact with family; picking up other peoples garbage; love doesn’t come from the outside; what we need is infinite; be true to yourself; live your own life, be radical; guilt feelings; in the old patterns nothing new is possible; there are no such contract, unwritten or unspoken contracts to take of others; radical in thinking, to become free. Coming from the head into the heart; life arranges everything, it takes care of all the details; all we ever need to do is to stop; the eternal moment; just here with ourselves; the “I” is constantly in motion; the ocean is alive and breathing, not going anywhere; STOP; we change form so often; we are only This, the ocean.

Thanks a lot to the visitors who agreed for the publication of their sharings with Samarpan. The Satsangs with these sharings did happen as part of a retreat in Dezember 2009 in Germany.
Video Part 1
To be here and now in the middle of an ancient feeling – to be at home in it; about a name with the meaning „rigidness“ and its effects; ignore everything in the mind and give your attention here; feel the body and you come home; put the thoughts into the garbage; you're home; to bring the self-love to the workplace; only pay attention to what's here; making peace with me as I am in this moment; the mind is a fantastic bio-computer, the problem comes with the programming; with some awareness the programming has no power; giving the attention to a task is delightful; not to try anything, just see what's here without judging it, you can't do anything wrong; to put on a feeling like a coat; nothing is missing.
Part 2
About fear; about medicine; to be aware of myself and decide for myself if this is good for me or not; it's all about being here; now ready to feel the fear; about „cushion-rowes“ and how to deal with them; stay with the fear; to allow the child to speak; a new name, a new birth; about the relief in being able to love the inner child; feelings come and go; no separation between you and the joy; so simple; we can't understand this mystery; to surrender to what we don't understand; about the child who can't or is not allowed to speak; about the beauty in the feeling of not being seen; about the rebellious child; about love and silence; nothing has ever happened, and nothing will ever happen.
Part 3
About intensity; not to take it personally; to relax into it; stop totally and give it your whole attention; just be here in the middle of this feeling; it's quiet here, the intensity is on the outside; look for the ease; a new name; about a confrontation; the mind gets more quiet in the Satsang-room; Satsang as another dimension; about the liberation in letting things be just as they are in this moment; about a noise in the ear; the hearing focussed on the inside instead of on the outside; to take care of the ears.
In this meeting in March 2010 Samarpan is answering the questions from Joe, Hildegart and Andreas, all the three of them members of the German politcal party "Die Violetten" ("The Violetts").
Video Partl 1
Everybody is God playing in these human bodies; everybody is doing their best, as they understand it; about different perspectives; when I make my opponent into the bad one, then we are in a war; if I see the child in this person, we can meet; different realities; to put oneself into the other person; no right or wrong in this moment; about action and judgment; about the idea that I am somebody separate from God; the idea of „me“ is the root of all evil; me as a collection of ideas; about Samarpan's political activities; about comparisons to other people; to be as truly myself as I can be in this moment; trying to be what one is not makes sad and takes the energy; stop thinking about how they should be and start just being how they are; follow your own strength; about money; about a change of awareness; Samarpan's invitation to stop and welcome the feeling; about Nazi-Deutschland; just a matter of perspective; about a meeting of neonazis in Dresden and about fear; terrorism as a mirror for my own fear and my mistrust; if I am not afraid to die these people have no power over me.
Part 2
About power-issues and their exploration; about the possibility of making friends with my feelings; about the expression of feelings in a free and in a repressed society; violence as an acting out of feelings which come from feeling powerless; Samarpan as a perspective-changer; to bring the perspective coming from silence and love into politics; doing from the heart; about democracy and the hidden possibilities to misuse power; about citizens who do not know enough about politics but yet they are to vote; about the good possibilities of a monarchy; to put God in the driver-seat; put God first, everything else follows; it's peaceful, clear, straight; be where you are as totally as possible; be true to the moment; a very exciting adventure.
These sharings from Satsangs with Samarpan are from a Retreat in December 2009 in Germany. Thanks a lot to the visitors who agreed for the publication of their sharings with Samarpan.
Video Part 1
The sensation of rage without the story; a help to expand beyond helplessness; no anger towards a person, just frustration like a little child who does not know how to do things; the addiction to suffering; Robinson Crusoe in the desert; nothing to hold onto in the outer world – no job, children, husband…; the victim- or not-ok-programming; your suffering makes you somebody; when you are just here: no sufferer – nobody – no problem; life arranges things, we don´t have the wisdom, life does; sorrow at the death of a master; welcoming the feelings instead of calling on a master for help; rage does not need a reason to visit; welcoming what´s here.
Part 2
A journey into the unknown; understanding months later what Samarpan said, it must become one´s own experience; a new beginning; forgetting and rediscovering; nightly fears of 20 years disappearing; being in one´s center in a crazy world; everything will arrange itself perfectly; a trip to the sea; feeling ok with feeling small; Samarpan’s view on 2012; the gap between God inhaling and exhaling; being ready for anything; making preparations; the end of the world – just another experience; up front for the first time, dancing one´s own dance, hearing one´s own cry; the fish looking out of the aquarium, coming closer to freedom; finding nothing in the silence; the wish to feel love; coming back to the silence with no idea, no control, feelings happen when they want to or they don´t; searching for something and getting something totally different; exploring the nothing – a lifetime job.
Part 3
Feeling energies and pain in the body; only an experience without the thoughts that create the suffering; feeling the pain instead of asking questions; the habit of going back into the mind and the need to discipline ourselves; keep coming back here, totally, with our whole attention; half-half keeps the suffering going; being here without knowing anything; lazyness, wine and TV; feeling misunderstood; suffering – petrol for activity; discipline versus being in the moment; “drinking-meditation” and “TV-meditation”; everything an awareness-tool.
Part 4
On the importance of keeping the silence; chatting is contagious; a holiday from the mind – no reading, no writing, no talking; experimenting with the not-knowing; letting the silence penetrate and transform you; welcoming aggression without going into the story; coming back again and again; being at point zero is good; when to take your pills; feeling rejected; not being responsible for what you feel; welcoming everything, not needing to get something anymore, getting whole; not taking over the responsibility for one´s mother anymore.
This interview with Samarpan Devasetu did in January 2010 via internet. Samarpan’s crew was filming in Cologne; Devasetu was asking the questions at Gomera. The questions are about reading of spiritual books, about spirituality in different cultural circle, about war, about what is happening in Samarpan’s Satsang and Retreats and about living out of fullness without money, naming other issues.
Video Part 1
About reading spiritual books: everybody is finding the right book at the right time; reading as doorway to Satsang and to Samarpan; the magic in the intension to meet oneself; about Samarpan signing books in Satsang; Samarpan’s message from the inside universal for every culture; from here – no culture differences; to leave the mind beside and meeting every moment with an open heart; everybody is in his essence spirit without cultural differences; about people who love to fight and to meeting all the feelings provoked by war; to come to peace with the experience of violence from the outside like from war and with violence from the inside; about dressing acceptable for the society we are living in; meeting each other pure without a costume; not to talk about the inner focus and inner intimacy; to meet one’s own self in the body of another person; Satsang without trying anything to do and without knowing what is happening; meeting people in Satsang and in the daily life: meeting in the moment.
Video Part 2
The save place in a Retreat with Samarpan in way as in a green house; meeting each other without amour and without competition; questioning out of the mind is not spiritual but accepting everything is; the mind: always in war, never in peace; the difference between rebellion and questioning; the false ideas of the society, family, religion and so on; true spiritual rebellion: to be one self true to the moment; living out of fullness also without having much money; when Samarpan was living in a small self built house in a dessert land; real is what lasts; to look at that what is not coming and going; the joyfulness of the modern technology; to stop giving attention to unnecessary thoughts gives more creativity and peace; Samarpan resonating with all great saints, not only with Jesus, Osho, Ramana, Papaji and Gangaji, which are described at his homepage – and with Nisargadatta as well; thoughts and words – not touching the silence.
This Interview with Samarpans took place in Hamburg in December 2009. Interviewer was Daniel Herbst, a well known German author of spirituell books.
Watch the video:
About Samarpan’s patience and compassion; with no story I don’t exist; about truth and freedom; again and again back into the moment; happy for no reason; Satsang as the most interesting thing that Samarpan can do with his life; to come out of the drama – no more suffering; about the absurd notion of me being somebody separate from God; about the prayer „Our father“; truth makes free from suffering; transformation in only one Satsang or gradually – it doesn't matter; Samarpan’s effort to set people free; Samarpan’s handyman-game; psychotherapy as a form of mutual dependency based on the idea that you are not okay; you are okay the way you are; to find a way to dance with the conditioning; to see more and more clearly what works; that which is enlightened has always been enlightened; to drop out of the mind and just come here: everything is okay – this is what Samarpan calls enlightened; all truth and wisdom come from here; a room full of people – all are enlightened; Samarpan’s respect for everyone; it happens by itself when somebody is ready – the mind stops, the I disappears; everything works.
Video Part 1:
The Guru outside is only to find the Guru inside; a practice to explore this moment; you are that which is infinitely patient; how to welcome the fear; everything is supporting This – your awakening now; you are already here – you have always been here, just a slight shift of attention is needed.
Part 2:
About a power issue; to stay with the feeling – that is all that is needed; don’t listen to the mind – you don’t know what is going to happen; about a longing for death and the attempt to avoid something that one does not like; when we fight against feelings it is really terrible, when we accept them it’s ok; about the mind who calms down little by little when we don’t give attention to him; no need to know more but to stop and to be here as it is; to be willing to know nothing is the key; the thought „it’s so tough“ makes it tough.
Part 3:
To discover the truth each time newly; about tasks and priorities; the priority is always what’s here; being finished inside in every moment; peace and quietness is always here; about the benefit of relationships: we press each other’s buttons; feeling ancient pain is a blessing because the pain gets uncovered and healing can happen; every time I stop and feel what I feel I get a little more humble; marriage as a legal contract and practical matter – and it’s relaxing and grounding effect on Samarpan.
Part 4:
When staying gently with pain in the body, some old issue gets resolved and something comes back into balance; don’t think about it, just give it the attention; focus God’s love into the area of the body which needs this support; about fear of dogs and of people; how to deal with kids when they want attention; how to remind people who talk in a silent retreat; how to make friends with rage which has been repressed for years.
Video Part 1:
Babies in Satsang; being unworthy; god loves us anyhow; to welcome the unworthiness feeling; in feeling the pain conditioning looses power; being open fort he presents that are here; to let fall oneself; resolving of feelings for others; freedom through acceptance; loving of sensations; coming home
Part 2:
No longer to be able to say „yes“; to care about ourselves first; apple juice in the grape juice bottle; accepting conditionings; where does unawareness come from? No need to have an answer for everything; being nobody makes free; awareness is all there is; direct connection with Osho; mind cannot understand god; knowing without understanding; put god in the first place; prior to Abraham „I am“; feel everything gently
Part 3:
Seeing the world without „I“; experiencing happens; pure perception without identification with a perceiver; without idea how it should be; no responsibility for the feelings of others; experience difficult feelings gently; the father’s peaceful death as a blessing
Part 4:
Desire to be, not to do; contact with nonduality, own experience counts; experiencing the centre; look from silence; mind pulls to illusions; nothing is everything; the whole universe unfolds in the presence; mind does not help; all images of enlightenment are wrong; simply be; you are as you are: unique; fulfilment cannot be found outside; an ordinary life; I am; accepting not to know; the greatest gift; free will?; spending money
Thanks a lot to the visitors who agreed for the publication of their sharings with Samarpan. The Satsangs with these sharing did happen in May and Juni 2009 in Germany.
Video Part 1:
Feeling the truth in satsang and the conflict with old beliefs and conditioning, the relationship with parents – acting out of a sense of duty or out of joy; being true to the moment without any idea about the relationship, even if this means walking away when I am not open for my partner; meeting anew each moment; values and norms are all in the mind and make us act like robots, according to programming; being really in the moment means having no idea, each moment is new, dancing from the belly instead of from the mind; the question: Does a child need therapy? Meeting people without wanting anything, honoring everybody the way they are, whatever comes is good, having no idea about the complexity of the game we are playing, doubts are a challenge to be clearer. oyful sadness at the death of the mother, feeling not much at all when a parent dies, who / what is there to meet after someone dies? Where is THAT? The space and silence inside before, during and after the story; that is THIS that easy, the cosmic joke.
Part 2:
Looking into and looking through the eyes of the master, I see my own self in you, there is beauty, almost too much love to hold; an experience like a birth: no way back; just surrender. The pattern of competition and effort in spirituality, who is the most enlightened? Being beyond enlightenment is being just the way you are, yoga and meditation as methods to become enlightened, the “I” will never become enlightened, it is not in the future, the only thing we need to do is to practice being here; enlightenment is not something that we reach, it is our nature; seriousness is the only sin, the story about the two monks; we do not meditate in order to get something, but to celebrate THIS; the enlightenment that is already here, falling into the moment like Osho, Buddha, Ramana, no use sitting under Bodhi trees; just stop, it is all here.
Video Part 1:
Experiences in psychological groups; the challenge to be ME; after a group-experience back into the old hell and make friends with the old personality; we are THAT which has always been independent from the body; the path of not knowing as the most reliable path; every experience is useful; to just bring awareness to this moment and feel every feeling that is here; the conditioning to fulfill the expectations of the others; the conditioning which sneaks through the back door; the trap of wishing to be different than we are; shyness as a part of one’s structure and how to make peace with it; the ability to do everything alone and yet to be complete; the idea to miss something which keeps us dissatisfied; just to be here – everything is already here.
Part 2:
About the right of contact and of access of a father with his child; feelings of injustice and rage; taking legal action and its effect on the relationship; not to pay attention to the story but to feel the feelings and to enjoy the time with the child; the freedom which comes out of this; to take care of oneself first; to take what life is giving you and not to chase after a dream; to live as well as one can; one step after the other; going into the mind as a cause of circles of thoughts and suffering; to drop an idea which does not work.
Part 3:
Life as an exciting adventure which is supposed to be insecure; the security which we find inside when we fall into our middle and let all thoughts drop; just to experience THIS with no idea and without looking for change; all questions disappearing in Satsang; sending email-questions to Samarpan. From 11:09 min.: About the experience to understand Samarpans pieces of wisdom in layers, Samarpans similar experience with Osho; about the longing for a partnership and the non-existence of the ideal partner; not to change anything about the longing, but to consistently draw the attention back to this moment; HERE nothing is missing; already complete without a partner.
These Satsangs videos were recorded during the Retreat with Samarpan in Hübenthal in January 2009.
Video Part 1:
About the special situation in a Silent-Retreat, to use time for ourselves and put the normal social customs beside; about lazy and productive times; about the pressure, not to be lazy and about the courage to work only when an impulse to work is rising up; about the trust, that life will take care of us even when we are lazy for a certain time; about the desire for attention and love and the painful emotions when we miss both; when we put our center into the partner and how we take the power back to ourselves
Part 2:
About rediscovery of praying, being open and being with emotions; from the surrender to the Divine which is not passive but active; with all our power we lay it all to the feet of the Divine; to become a child again; to start the day with awareness and say welcome to the emotions in the morning; to stop and let loose all strategies, willing to be with this what is coming; to be friend with all kinds of experiences as a human being; drinking every drop of life; it is possible and available for everybody – with a little practice
Part 3:
About something disillusioning in spirituality; on the spiritual way – little by little with patience and insistence; the way out of hell – is the way in hell; just be here, where you are – without any idea of heaven or hell – just this, nothing else is needed; how illness reminds us, to be aware; to be no hindrance for the convalescence of the body by bringing as much awareness as possible to every moment; about consciousness and unconscious in psychological view and the way to heal the old stories; about the silence in the heart and switching around to the normal consciousness with its obsessions to interpret; about different views how to educate children and the question how much guidance children need
Once more sincere thanks to the Retreat participants, which gave their okay to publish their sharings from December 2008 in the internet at Here-Now-TV.
Video Part 1
About sleeping problems; how I can be true to myself and at the same time open for the person I am having a conversation with; Adjusting of long meditation practises; feeling as part of a collective conciousness and at the same time feeling closed and isolated; the constant strive for experiences and the wonder that happens, when we allow the current experience to be.
Part 2
Being in your power means being in your middle; laughing about yourself, exaggerating things, trying, playing; about self-love; what would change after a lottery win; about lies and „creative truth“; what you can say to stop a disturbing conversation; when it comes to keeping peace with oneself, a human being becomes creative by resting in their middle; about authencity and truth.
Part 3
In the lukewarm middle between big emotions; the challenge of being here without something happening; making peace with depression and stopping to search for depth and extasy; becoming ordinary; the key to inner balance and peace lies within the moment.
Part 4
Waiting for awakening – but where is it to be found? Everything comes here, we just have to be here. About the wish to be freed from the circulation of reincarnation, (which keeps us captured in it). Doing and thinking feed the imagination of the I. Here is nobody. Stopping and just being! I don’t fit into the surrounding: It will change, so that it will fit, when you are where you are, and feel what you feel, without thinking about it. Life helps and serves us. When we are present, things change in a wonderful way. About the inhumanity of some company structures. Only we can see and honour ourselves, nobody else can do this for us. Making peace with your own strengths and weaknesses.
This film contribution consists of sharings of Retreats with Samarpan of the year 2008. Sincere thanks to the four Retreat participants, which gave their okay to publish the sharings in the internet at Here-Now-TV for the advantage for all of us.
Video Part 1
Running away from the feelings, to embrace the home sickness and sadness, the highs and deeps of feelings, the running into mind and stories, the challenge in relationships, stopping the pendulum here, Samarpan’s pushing into the truth, getting caught and caught again and again as part of the process to become free, learning by falling always into the same hole, letting go of the judgements and to study being a human being from the inside, about the new name given by Samarpan
Part 2
To be in ones own power and learning to say no; the impossibility to make everybody around us feeling good, about welcomed and field anger and about projected anger as an attack, taking care of oneself without fighting, about conversation during the eating times, learning not to be victimized, sitting in silence every morning, feeling the rejection of the partner without fighting and judging about it; when it seems to be to much but is not to much; about gratitude and feelings of solidarity, about difficulties in the house community, the pain of being rejected by the partner and feeling it as a impersonal feeling, becoming stronger by being with an "impossible" partner
Part 3
Nothing wrong in being tense, because it reminds us to be present; about the not acceptance and the question "Who is it, who wants something or can or can not something?"; just by giving attention to the tension in the body getting out of the story of I; it is not possible for the I to become free, but what we are is already free – now; the resistance of the I against the stopping, the changing of the feelings and the impossibility of staying in bliss all the time, feeling wrong and not making a problem out of it, not possible to extinguish the basic programming and not caring about it and not taking it serious
The Challenge to make Peace with Everything
Joe Schraube did this interview in November 2008 in Dresden for Jetzt-TV (Here-Now-TV).
Video Part 1
The silence around the words, the success to discover that something is no right, to follow the inner pull, a summary from the biography of Samarpan, the attraction of Osho, the freedom of the idea of me, our concern and our stress about what is happening to the world, more fun: to come in peace with what ever is, compassion, about the weight of suffering, the modern weapons better killing tools than ever, pure Advaita, getting to silence in a discussion, about the bible saying: "You should not have any Gods beside me!"
Part 2
Awakened people through Samarpan, about having only one master, leaving the mind behind with the help of the master, experiences in studying philosophy, the habit to look for the false, discrimination, enlightenment and health in old age, body illnesses as a help and medicine, psycho somatic diseases and Osho, the source and being here, the help of the master to make it a little bit easier for the disciple, the story of Papaji and the bus trip and the karma of the disciples, the master taking on the issues of his disciples
Part 3
Illness symptom of the body, no judgments, improvement and learning out of relaxed awareness, the beauty of being how I am, looking at the world through beingness, the challenge to make peace with everything, the example of Jesus on the cross, feeling the feelings – even in a horror story, memories beyond the own biography, letting go of the story while feeling the pain
This recorded Satsang is from October 2007.
Video Part 1
Feeling scared without story, daring to feel like one feels, welcoming every experience, horses as the best teachers being always here and now, teaching and learning at the same time, loving oneself and seeing oneself in everybody, when there fear comes up before taking part in a Retreat with Samarpan, disciplining the mind
Part 2
About planning and organizing, having no control and being scared about it, flowing with live and trusting, the difference between stopping and running away, Samarpan as friend, to count on one own self and love oneself without judgments, Satsang: having a date with oneself
Part 3
About having no control and taking decisions, when thinks are happening when they are happening without planning, the habit of the mind to look for something that has to be chanced, to welcome the feeling right now, no parameter to hold on, no I or you to find, the question of having a child or not and the fear of it, the self founded company as one’s own baby, the horrible thoughts of yes and no changing all the time
Excerpts of Satsangs with Samarpan from Zürich (Switzerland) in February 2008 and from Munich and Lützelflüh in summer.
Video Part 1
The aging of the body, the advantage of gravity, the timeless beauty of the eyes, the beauty and the blessing of aging, identification with the body, disillusionment, plastic surgery, letting go of the body before dying, no comparing, no aging inside, the body our animal, old men with young women, nothing fair and nothing unfair in life
Part 2
Sweet sadness, the willingness to live without how, stopping the search for enlightenment, staying in the not knowing, showered by life with gifts, being unreasonable, the game of identifications, no I to own a feeling, attention and mind, the thought: "Actually I should be a little bit further than this."; always at the beginning, the practice to come always back to the moment – even during sex
Part 3
The topic "sex", the beautiful women from the magazines, the wishes of the women, the wishes of the men: freedom and sex, the war in the mind, the sex addiction: repression and indulgence, looking deeply and seeing the truth, sex without thinking about it, being with the experience and not was some ideas, in the peep show, watching without any judgement
Being Here in the Nature
Devasetu has been accompanying Samarpan, Rajma and Mikael with his camera on a round at the golf course. Accordingly to Samarpan it was the “ideal golf weather”: It rained or was straight before raining so that the golf course was nearly deserted.
The first part of the film contribution consists of pictures of Samarpan golfing only with original soundtrack to show the mood as authentically as possible. In the second part there are more video pictures from the golf round to be seen, combined with an interview that Devasetu had a few days later with Samarpan on topics such as golfing, being and moving in nature, sporty activities, nutrition, drinking water, climatic change and environmental protection.
Video Part 1 Pictures of the round on the golf course – with the original soundtrack
Part 2 Playing golf to be outside in the nature, no competition and no counting of the strokes, golf with the emphasis on playing, playing without thinking and worrying about it, nature absorbing the mind energy, the tension in the cities because of the mind energy, the essentialness of drinking water, going to the fitness studio, the danger with advices: the can be misused as instructions for religious exercises, not used muscles are disappearing, Samarpan’s diet, vegetarian and non vegetarian diet, the so called change of the climate, choosing the most green alternative, animal races getting distinct, doing the best for the body without any guaranty for a long life, having fun in life with an ill body, smoking cigarettes, to find out for oneself what is right, being here in nature
No Person – and Not Separate from God!
Samarpan does love it when the children in the Satsang are running around freely. Therefore he encouraged the parents to give the children during the Satsang all possible freedom. In this Satsang several children participated and they were using their freedom of movement to run around and merrily rejoice – in such a way the noises in the background have to be interpreted.
This Satsang took place in May 2008.
Video Part 1
Pain as part of the healing, being together in the atmosphere of acceptance, the honesty of horses without any mask, tips for learning swimming, watching the mother dying, the feelings in an unhappy love story, in presence of the dead brother, the tender side inside ourselves, feeling home and everything is here
Part 2
Changes and creativity through bringing awareness in the moment, about the book: “Conversations with God”, how life is supporting us, happy relationships – only insides ourselves, expectations in relationships, the children loving to run around in Satsang, Samarpans two hundred e-mails waiting to be answered and a suggestion for an automatically answer
Part 3
Enjoying the silence with different Satsang teachers, the intimacy and grace with one teacher, sweet sadness, being totally here, enjoying sight of a flower while falling off a riff, the fear of the imaginary I of dying, letting go the story and feeling the sensation in the body, being save in one’s own space and power

Video Part 1 Because nothing is needed - nothing to do, stop and come back to ourselves, receptive towards God, the natural way: become female, the mind as personal computer, the natural instinct to survive, God first, not worried about our potential, appeal to the right, being willing to be how I am: an ego-killer
Part 2 Magic in not knowing, "esoteric bullshit", white and black magic, relax in being; Samarpans wish for a reasonable place to live; being in peace for a wish and then let go, the delicacy of each step
Part 3 The free will, the limited vision of the mind, too lazy to waste time visualizing stuff, the sense or nonsense of the trial, thought to manifest, the perfect life of everyone, little money - little stress, the game to prepare for the civil case, the only answer: be here
This interview was conducted by Dennis Börste in November 2007 for TV Munster

Part 2 Samarpans way to satsang, religious ceremonies, the crisis after the fourth child, the time as devoted agnostic, meeting with Osho, no good and bad, the idea of evil, in the deep peace with itself, loving by nature, the desire of being protected, protectionion against fictive terrorists, the fragile body, no fear of death
Video Part 1 The feeling of being not normal, to study without a social life, avoiding the feeling of being alone, no control over the work situation, the "normal" conditioning of having a solid work, here: no chaos and everything is okay, the universal beliefs as it should be, responsibility: the ability to react to the moment, the lie of having control, a rich life: nothing lacking, the carrot in the shadow

The question of enlightenment, the image of its own, too much conditioning and rules for children, by "mistakes" to own wisdom, children need limits to protect against life threatening situation: most widely and so little restrictive as possible, and no conflicting messages to children, the "time-out" of the adolescents after the end of school, leadership through life step to step, predestination and the free will, attracted by the right learning situation
Part 3
Accept what you like; appeal and resonance, when Samarpan found his new house: an example of manifestation, the wisdom of life is greater than one's own ideas, desires and wishes, being in peace with the situation, our system: happiness, the question for God, the essence of our being at the moment, the misuse of the word "God", the idea of the supervisory body of God, the image of God as a father figure, Papajis words: "I am!"
Part 4
The idea of the soul, the physical body as a dominant aspect of the individual, with everything in peace: no cause for rebirth, the "waving" ocean, enlightenment at the moment of death, and unfulfilled wishes lead to appropriate rebirth, abortion, pregnancy as a request, intuition in animals and humans, subtle information beyond the mind, energy darshan as "imposed" healing energy, a natural rhythm and natural wisdom in all

Samarpan as a lighthouse, at the time working from home, working with clients, to work with full energy, feelings without stories about the distinction between good and bad feelings, meeting the feelings with awareness and they become friends, the beauty in every feeling, the very special friend "tension" relaxing in the tension
Being totally there, where one is

Video Part 1
God gives us everything: marriage and divorce, conspiracy between religion and society and the myth of the nuclear family, marriage to recognize the truth, you can't d o fall in love and d o a happy relationship, your feelings will bring you back to this moment, 'Familienaufstellung' created by a priest, family as part of the story in the mind, 'Familienaufstellung' is magic stuff of the mind, freedom is freedom from the mind, healing without drama, the power of therapy in the hands of fools

Samarpan was born in 1941 in San Francisco into a catholic doctor's family with eight children. For three years he attended a seminary and discovered that priesthood was not the way the wanted to serve god. He studied psychology and worked as a counsellor. In 1981 he took on living in Oregon / USA close to the mystic Osho and adopted the name "Samarpan" (surrender).
In 1995 Samarpan realised his true Self. One year later he moved to Germany, where he lives near Frankfurt with his wife Marga. He offers satsang and retreats in several European countries and hundreds of people are attracted by his openhearted, humorous manner, his wisdom and compassion. Lovingly he answers questions in satsang and by e-mail and he is the author of the book "Gluecklich sein in jedem Moment". His satsang are recorded on DVD, CD and audiotape.
