Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Dear ONS, Regretfully, I think the experience too personal for this board. I've seen people create controversy here by saying they microwave flower petals! I have no desire to have one of my most surprising and profound experiences with Amma so discussed. I will, however, e-mail you personally with a brief synopsis. Maybe someday, if Sara has her way, I'll write a book:)! I hope to do that.

Our sister's reluctance to share something so dear to her heart in this space could be a catalyst for us to decide to be as respectful of each other's comments as Amma would want us to be. I am so sorry that ridicule has snuck in here and dampened people's willingness to share freely. I know it's easy to do because we have all been subjected to it and surrounded by it and have incorporated it into our own behaviors. (That certainly includes this child.) Amma talked about this recently. How we should give kind smiles to each other and avoid the ones that feel so bad. How about adopting the rule that no matter what someone says here, we will not respond with derision or ridicule or sarcasm, etc. In Amma¹s grace, premarupa Aum Amriteshvaryai Namah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, am hesitant to share some of the more personal aspects of my experiences when we as a group can be so quick to challenge others, but I am also curious about the things that did occur to/for me - are they real or was my mind playing tricks? Obviously, when the arthritic nodes on my hands disappeared for several weeks, this was not a mind mess-up because others could see it. Other things are not so clear; I remarried four years ago and my hsuband and I started to build a new house - we had been living where he had lived perviously and, while I loved the remoteness and the beauty of the land, I hated the dwelling itself. His health declined abruptly, however, and we had to pay huge medical bills instead of finishing our house and I was not sure I could continue to live where we are now indefinitely. This was a terrible point of contention for us - he felt bad at me being "trapped" here and I felt bad at not being able to adapt, but I simply couldn't do it. I needed to live "somewhere pretty" (it sounds so childish now!) and this did not fit my criteria for beauty. Since meeting Amma, this has completely stopped being an issue - my heart (or something inside; Amma's heart?) simply said "This is a beautiful place; there are trees, flowers, animals, and love - nothing else is needed." I could NOT have physchologically have made the change on my own; does Mother intervene this directly? Old hurts and angers, pet peeves, whatever, simply seem to be melting away and are being repalced by a gentle acceptance. No bells and whistles, no highs or lows, just a lovely even keel to my days and less internal pressure to achieve, etc. I'd enjoy reading anything you feel like sharing; if you don't feel like sharing, thank you anyway for at least saying why you feel as you do.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Up until last year, I had migraine headaches on a regular basis. Weekly, sometimes as many as two a day. That was unusual, but for sure I'd have them weekly, at least one. that went on for 14 years, they were hard at first, it was like a shock to my system, and I'd sometimes have flue-like symptoms afterwards. The pain however wasn't that bad and a few ibuprofens would make it tolerable. The hard part was the shocky feeling and also during the headache I'd have tunnel vission and pulsating lights. That part scared me because sometimes I'd be driving when one would come on and I'd have to pull over to the side of the road to be safe. As the years rolled on, I got used to them and would feel them coming on and take some asprin or similar and not have to go home sick, which I did initially. I'd just keep on working, keep talking to someone while I was having them, even tho I could barely see them. We adapt to just about anything. I figured it was my system's way of relieving pressure and felt grateful that I didn't have worse health problems. Last year after seeing Amma, they stopped. I had had one the week before seeing her, then they stopped for almost 9 months. I have had three now in over a year's time. And it's easy for me to see the emotional cause for them now. > > > Jyotsna, > Thank you for your honesty.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 - Kenna Ammachi Monday, August 25, 2003 9:43 AM Re: Re: Amma the Avatar Namaste, Kenna, you have my most sincere promise to respond to all posts with the kindness and love that Mother shows each of us. I am very new to the group and am hoping that we can all grow more trusting - and more gentle - and I will work on sharing more openly myself. While I do enjoy the discussions, I would very much like to share some discussions about our paths - not WHAT we are doing per se but HOW we are doing. Changes are occuring within me at a rate and in areas I could not manage on my own - my pet peeves, old grudges, offense-taking modes, etc are melting away almost minute by minute and I find that I am growing much kinder and more patient to/with myself as well. Gentle nudges occur inside me and I cannot honestly say if I am "hearing" my conscience speak, my intuition jangling my bells, or Amma chiding me before I speak less kindly than I could or put pressure on myself to accomplish more and more inane human tasks. Something very, very gently soothes whatever is preparing to well up and escape and calms it down to an evenness that is simply peaceful. Thanks for nudging us in a softer direction, At Amma's feet, Dixie (renamed Snehalata by Mother) Namah Shivaya. > Regretfully, I think the experience too personal > for this board.
