Re :To all Sadhaks ..

[Guest guest]

Thank you all my dear members of my spiritual

family .. (I tried naming you all, but there was no

space) to those who share their love and time with us

and all our other silent members for making this

"home" a little point of light at this time of severe

trial for all. Thank you baba .. for reminding me you

all are here. <br><br>This time of trial and that

which is still to come has challenged us in so many

ways. These kind of events tend to drain everybody,

specially sadhaks, who struggle to stay grounded in the

Truth they learn in their journey, as they go about

participating in the events they need to. Or at least speaking

for myself it has been a draining week for me.

<br><br>On Sunday I went to another spiritual family for a

renewal. As we held hands and shed our tears, we asked for

healing for ourselves. The key words were 'surrender' and

allowing and observing the flow of emotions; fear, anger,

sorrow, grief, and shock, to cleanse ourselves of the

overwhelming emotions, so toxic to our spirit. <br><br>As I

watched the towers crumble in shock I saw the crumbling

of a kind of innocence, mockingly called naiviety or

pollyanna simplicity that is so typical of sadhaks who

believe in the TRUTH. The hurtful events following the

attack has further attempted to shatter the faith in

people as people under ONE TRUTH ONE "GOD".<br><br>In

our church we continued with the service with our

minister bringing attention to the lessons we have to

learn through all this trauma. Collective karma, an

oppotunitity to look at the messages being given to us,

individually and collectively. He led us through some powerful

affirmative prayers called Spiritual Mind Treatments. As we

deliberately and consiously moved our energies from our hurt

filled solar plexus to our heart chakras, we transmuted

the sadness to a greater love and understanding

towards the world, the family of human beings. We wished

we had a World flag to fly side by side to the

American flag to declare the solidarity of citizens among

the world.<br><br>As we were finishing up, our

pianist started playing a piece of haunting music. A few

chords into it some members began to hum. A little later

the whole congregation began to sing out its words,

as we all cried with hope. This is what we sang -

<br><br>Imagine - John Lennon<br> <br>Imagine there's no

heaven<br>It's easy if you try<br>No hell below us<br>Above us

only sky<br>Imagine all the people<br>Living for

today...<br><br>Imagine there's no countries<br>It isn't hard to

do<br>Nothing to kill or die for<br>And no religon

too<br>Imagine all the people<br>Living life in

peace...<br><br>Imagine no possesions<br>I wonder if you can<br>No need

for greed or hunger<br>In a brotherhood of

man<br>Imagine all the people<br>Sharing all the

world...<br><br>You may say i'm a dreamer<br>But i'm not the only

one<br>I hope some day you'll join us<br>And the world

will be as one<br>---------<br>We realized the power

of vision. Unmanifest reality. And with that we

reaffirmed our need to hold on that dream. "Let there be

peace on earth and let it begin with me".<br><br>May

each of you be blessed, may each of you be a point of

light illuminating your space, may each of you be in

peace, may each of you be love. <br><br>_/\_<br><br>Uma
