Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi, I have the same issue. If it's important for us to pray, why isn't important for all of Amma's children to pray? It also brings up some emotional abuse issues for me. I think there are things Mothers shouldn't tell their children.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Namah Shivaya I was told that Amma mentioned about 2005 in amritapuri too- last week and also before AV50. So i dont think Amma is asking only people in US to pray. In fact Amma has asked all the residents in Amritapuri to do extra archanas and prayers for the welfare of the world. bala "E.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 ONS, Thanks for this, but what about Her gazillion devotees in India? The Amritapuri ashram residents are only a tiny percentage of Her devotees.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Om Namah Shivaya, Its sad that some sisters and brothers are confused or scared about Amma's predicition and prescription. I get scared too but then remember that Mother is protecting us and guiding us every step. This prayer prescription is a welcome guidance away from a huge manhole we may otherwise step into. Mother seems to be preparing us to gather our metal focus and strength to change the obviously potentially negative situation into a positive one... We have the power within us, She says so all the time. If we focus on the positive the positive grows and begets more positivity but this is different than being in denial about the way politics are headed- (pun pun...) She is asking us to wake up everyday but here it seems that there is a real urgency due to the warring state of external affairs. She is asking all Her children to pray more than usual for the benefit of peace for all beings and it sounds like there is a possibility metinoned that the US could be most affected by such. Does this really come as a surprise to any of us? Its in the media. She also says that the external chaotic state of the world is nothing compared to how bad it is inside.When we pray it is for our own perceptions to be peaceful,this will change reality as we perceive it... Mother says Heaven and Hell are both here now...-Which will we choose? Prayer is the key to heaven. Prayer is intending with the mind to allow love to enter and fill all we know, see, remember and imagine. "OOOH, Heaven is a Place on Earth, OOOH Heaven is a Place on Earth, They say in Heaven, Love comes first...We'll make Heaven our Place on Earth..." Belinda Carlisle knew in the eighties I dont know anything but this sounds like a reality to choose. May heaven in all of her virtuosity and generosity unfold here now, from the hearts of the Divine Mother together with Her chosen children She is rearing to be just like Her in extraordinary caring and compassionate service to the suffering reflections of Our One Self...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi everyone. I also have noticed that everyone is searching for more information on the 2005 prediction. My advise is simply to pray and live everyday to it's fullest. Don't let dissapointments nor your accomplishments hit you too hard. Be humble, kind, caring and work hard at what you do. That way when 2005 rolls around you are ready for whatever might happen. On a side note , have faith in humanity it's trully amazing we are blessed to be part of it. Try to enjoy life when you can and try to laugh at yourself as often as humanly possible. God Bless you all and may Amma guide you and show you the way..... ammaslotus <ammaslotus wrote: Om Namah Shivaya, Its sad that some sisters and brothers are confused or scared about Amma's predicition and prescription.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Namah Shivaya Thanks for this, also. Just the same, I think most of us ask questions mainly out of concern, and if some people are confused or scared it is a natural reaction. Let us all pray for peace in this world.
