anywhere without me. God, I feel very attached to the Mandir; Mother

and Swamiji and yo'al. Am I hitting the right website?

Dear Edward ~ even though you directed your letter and plea to Shree

Maa and Swamiji, I want to respond, for I am in somewhat the same

boat, although a different boat. We all cross the ocean of objects

and relationships in our own unique vessels. You feel separated from

the group and then, also lost, because of your studies. I feel

separated and a bit lost when I become sicker, and then due to that,

miss out on digests, get behind on sankalpas, and so on. So you have

a sister in your lostness, and I don't believe either one of us is

really ever lost. It's just that the circumstances of our lives cause

a coming and going when we'd rather be staying.

 

I didn't know of Swamiji's message about the new changes on the

website until I read today's digest, but I still wrote a response and

added my two cents worth. I also thought your idea of a gallery of

images was great. I am an artist, and I didn't even think of that

one.

 

Your studies sound wonderful, and I am so glad you will be able to

complete them sooner than you originally thought. The work you will

be doing is very necessary and what wonderful work it will be, and

how well what you've learned from Swamiji and Shree Maa will add to

that work. I am a firm believer in NDEs as well as the "fact" that,

when people are at the edge of their transition, they are seeing

beloved ones that others in the room may not see. But this does not

make them any less real. I have read with great eagerness the work of

Dr. Raymond Moody, Elizabeth Kubler Ross, and the movie about Dannion

Brinkley's NDEs, and his subsequent life changes continues to inspire

me, even to this day.

 

You will not be lost. Just toss a rope from your little boat to Shree

Maa's and Swamiji's. Then when you get caught up with your studies,

and later, with your work, you will realize you are always connected

and can never get lost, and that whenever you come to share in the

digest, or in one of the new amazing forums Swamiji has mentioned,

there will be those who will always know you right away and welcome

you and be glad to see you again. To others, who are also new, you

will be "new," but soon they will know you also.

 

This is an amazing family, and our Cosmic Parents will be sure we are never lost.

with my connection, as short as it has been, with the Mandir. This is

a really good spiritual time for many people who are to response to

their spescific call by Mother, as though responding by "sonar" like

dolphine people of the see, (I tend to see animals as peopel in

different forms), and listening to a beckon of Light, Sree Maa as

divine Mother. Maybe we are dolphine people? I gravitate to them, and

they to me, whenever I'm near water. Sometime when I'm not, too! Got

off the track here... I mean to say, that I started seing her

(Sree Maa) while finishing my undergratuate studies at Portland

State. I kept on seeing Maa's face so much that I thought that she

was Anandamoyi Maa.and I felt irritable cause I knew Ananda Moyi was

on the other side. I was being called to connect. I didn't want to get

to excited too much as the precognitive experience was very strong,

and I kept on thinking that I would have a female

Guru (my presumption) some time in the near future, whatever that

meant. I wasn't really wanting another physical Guru. But the

sensing was very strong, that I said, well whatever, it may be cause

I may be ready more than I think. Then, I really started to have very

concrete experiences with Shiva.consciousness in my mediatations this

past year, and is getting sharper..Almost as soon as I would sit down

for my hour meditation, and sometimes even before, I start seeing Lord

Shiva. Well I should stop here, cause I'll write a book if I don't.

Talk about not having time, I'm on a roll here. Onec again, thanks

for responding. It would be nice to ahve awesome picture of Sree Maa

and Swamiji. I look forward to having them. Although, the photo's and

claerly in my heart. Jai Shree Maa and Jai Sri Swamiji, JAI Edward
