Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Dear Harsha, dear All, I am far away from feeling the need to defend Wim - he can do it for himself - and I don't know what it was with this "aura machine" (it must have been before I joined; pehaps a very funny thing). But only one short sentence about the recently excange about siddhis because I see there is a lot of missunderstanding now. I asked Wim to say more about siddhis and his understanding because I wanted to see what he really means and what is behind. He responded - in a very gently way, I would say. I don't feel in any way be forced to a teaching by him and I think no one should feel so. He has his unique way - sometimes in a rough manner - sometimes he is playing games - sometimes ... yes. But I made another discovery. This is now my very personal impression which no one needs to share: (Sometimes) behind there is a deep understanding. For example what he said about surrender is absolutly correct. The point is really not so much to whom we surrender but that it must happen completly. It may sound a little strange, but as a Ramana devotee I learn something from him. (And sometimes, reading his mails, I have a big laughter!) So I ask all of you - please have a more close look and perhaps a little bit more tolerance and perhaps a little bit more sense of humour. - What is on the surface and what is behind? As you may remember I was in the beginning also negative. Indeed I was very negative, but then I asked myself: why? There is no need to defend myself against other teachers, but I can listen what they are saying and perhaps I can learn something. Let's see what they are really telling. Now I am somehow astonished about the reactions, because until now I see no real reason for it. What was the real cause? Why need we have such discussions now? I am sorry but I don't understand. I feel well as a Ramana devotee with other Ramana devotees and also with Wim and others. Shall we really start the new year with restrictions and ... Love Gabriele Thanks TG for being here. I have not had the time to read the posts on HS recently but I appreciate your telling Wim earlier to shut up or something to that effect. I have no doubt he deserved it.Sorry if I have missed some important posts but what is this I heard about Ramana licensing Wim to talk about Siddhis or some such thing!The aura machine stuff is bad enough and now this! :-). How long can we be expected to look the other way? Wim, when does your world tour begin? I understand that you will not be able to keep in touch with us during your visit to many countries. No problem. Love to allHarsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
