Subjects explained:

Jade Fire explained the phrase ‘which came first, the chicken or the egg’?

Meher Baba made everyone laugh heartily and advised all to ‘behave like a child’ for half an hour a day.

-------------------------

 

Jade Fire (through Sohrab)

Good evening children!

Good evening Sir!

Yes it is I, Jade Fire. Many are confused.

My little one (Elaeenah) will be most affronted to know that I am coming through this child! (Laughter) Just as this child was most affronted when his beloved St. Germain came through her! ‘Where is the loyalty?’ he said! (Laughter)

Understand, that we will channel through different mediums so that you can observe beyond the physical. Of course my appearance is different as I am looking through a different mediums’ body.

When channeling occurs, it is a merger between the energies of the Master and the Medium. Master energies must be diluted to a certain degree. You are now at a stage where you must now look beyond the physical. And ‘sense’ who the Master is. Why should the Master appear the same? You are ready to ‘FEEL’ the Master now.

We are going to discuss a deep philosophical question today. ‘Which came first – the chicken or the egg’? (Hearty laughter).

Yes! You, each and everyone are familiar with this phrase. But have you ever stopped to consider the deep significance?

See? Jade Fire can make jokes too. Not just St. Germain, not just Meher Baba! Jade Fire is also very funny. (Very hearty laughter)

Which came first, the chicken or the egg – is representative of one of the Universe’s great paradoxes. And the answer is ‘both and neither’.

We will help you understand and rest assured at the end you will know the meaning of this phrase.

With your permission, a small exercise will be conducted and even those who are new to our group are welcome to join, or they may just sit and observe. As they choose.

You are the ‘egg’. Your grid is the chicken. Close your eyes. Sit in a comfortable position. You may open your eyes at any point you wish, but for focus, eyes closed are recommended. Think of how you are feeling right now. Come up with five different feelings and emotions. No human being feels only one thing. You may be feeling wonderfully calm and simultaneously a little upset about something that happened this morning. You may be feeling confused – you can feel blank. Come up with five options of what you are feeling right now.

For those of you who are confused and are saying ‘No, I only feel one thing’, look further. Look further.

Now of those five options, choose ONE - for the sake of this exercise - that is the MOST PREDOMINANT. Repeat to yourself ‘I am feeling . . . ’ Explore how this feeling affects your physical body. Does this feeling give you ‘tension’ in any part? Do not try and change that feeling. SIMPLY ACCEPT IT. Do not try and change the body, only identify WHERE it is affecting you. Awareness is all that you need to attempt.

Now turn your attention to the Grid that exists around your physical body. Visualize this grid and see how this feeling has impacted on the ‘grid’. When examining the grid, remember do not neglect the area behind you. The grid exists all around you, encompassing you, nurturing you, feeding you. Does this feeling that is predominant, ‘darken’ the grid in any area? Does it ‘illuminate’ the grid? Does it change the colour, the vibration or the consistency of the grid? Does it change the ‘harmonic resonance of the grid? Does it emit a sound? Does it emit a smell, an odour or a perfume? Be aware of how your mood has affected your grid. Now go to the grid and cleanse that area that appears affected. If your mood has ‘energized’ that area, make sure you balance the energies out. Spread them evenly throughout your grid. Really work on that area that is affected. Send it ‘love and light’. Slowly turn your attention back to your physical body and examine whether the mood has changed. It may not have vanished but it may have changed – lessened, increased. If you feel no change, go back to the grid and work again on that area.

Now once again return to the body and see if there is a change.

Slowly return to your body and open your eyes. This is not the end of the exercise - it will proceed. But a small discussion needs to take place now.

Would anyone like to volunteer: how you felt?

(. . . . volunteered)

Calm and . . . full of light. Peaceful inside, peaceful all around.

Did you observe changes as he was working on the grid?

No, I didn’t observe any change.

(A lady . . .) I had a feeling of. . . .

Of course! The majority of the work is by using the third eye power.

(a lady voice. . .) as I . . .then when I moved to the grid . . . ..

I got the feeling of the grid . . . and then what I . . . became very prominent . .. . . and I felt very confident

Wonderful!

(Another lady) . . .very calm, . . . (laughter) . . .

(Another lady) . . . yellow . . . . came back . . . . . . . . . . . .

If your visualization takes you to an image that creates nurturing – how wonderful for you.

Sylla: I felt my heart was so full of love, I wanted to give it to everybody but there was not room enough to give . . . and I felt so peaceful . . .

What more can we say?

(Another lady) I felt myself in the . . .there was no time inside, I wanted to come out. . . and then when I was out . . . . the heaviness that I felt was gone and I felt . . . silence . .like a spark . . .

That is because you forged integration between the physical and the grid. No more the closeness, but a wonderful expansion of who you ‘actually are’.

Now we will work a little further on examining how the two are ‘interconnected’.

As you have observed, your emotions change the grid and by changing the grid your emotions and feelings can change! Which comes first? The chicken or the egg? Each one is completely intertwined. It is in your power to change the one or the other. And that must necessarily affect a change in the other. Now we will do a little experimentation work to further the example. Get ready for some fun! Close your eyes.

Conjure up in your mind images of irritation, anger, frustration. Think of the things that bother you. Think of your daily trials and tribulations. Allow that mode to enter your physical. Here is the time to think those nasty thoughts about your spouse! (Laughter)

Do not fear, you are causing no karma by doing this. This the Universe has accepted as an exercise for your growth. Allow those feelings to surface. Feel them. Experience them.

Don’t be so shy. It’s alright to feel it! Think of the trouble at home, think of the frustration of your city’s traffic, and think about the corruption and the politicians that upset you. Think of those family members who have caused disharmony and strife in your life. Think of the failures that you have experienced. Feel them. Now turn your attention to the grid. See how it has changed. Observe the colours, the vibration, the disharmony, the lack of cohesion in your otherwise beautiful grid. See how pain, irritation, annoyance affects your grid.

Yes. You are all observing images. Thrust those images of the grid. Now immediately effect repairs in the grid. Bring it back to a state of equilibrium. Flood those damaged areas with beautiful healing light. Adjust the vibrational discordances. Allow it to return to a state of beauteous affection.

See how difficult it is to realign the grid, when anger, frustration, annoyance has been released. Yes it is hard! But you can do it.

Come back to the state of physical balance. Understand that if only a few seconds could cause such disruption in your grids, what can a lifetime of anger, hatred, rebelliousness, jealousy, envy and greed do to your own bodily structures?

Now immediately in the physical, go to a place of beauteous wonder. Let your mind travel to a place of perfection, either what you term imaginary or something from your life, which just fills you with joy, beauty and peace. Yes! Think of those wonderful childhood places, serenity and calm. Think of those trips you had taken, surrounded by nature. Think of the secret hiding-holes of the mind, places you think you had never visited, keep coming up repeatedly, even though you know in this physical form you have never been there. Explore them. Fill with them. Now turn your attention to the grid. Observe it. Feel it. See the beauteous way it has transformed itself. Yes, perhaps there is still a little area that needs work, go inside that area with joy, love, beauty, healing. Cleanse the grid free and return to the beauteous place and see how more beautiful it looks now.

Yes my dear ones. Come back to your physical. Turn around and look at your neighbours on both sides and see them glow with serenity, joy and love. Yes. Come. Examine other peoples’ grids now. Look around, feel the vibrations. Feel their sentiments.

So which comes first, the physical or the grid? Both are ONE and till you understand in your very soul, that the chicken and the egg are one, you will only see separation. When you see them as one, two separate as ONE, full merger can then take place in your understanding.

Would anyone like to ask a question on this exercise?

(lady’s voice ) . . . . . but, all I saw was light and then when I went further, . . . from there, . . .somewhere else . . . white rose and it had nothing, no . . . feeling of . . . .

Do you now understand who you really are? What happens when day to day anxieties, agitation and upsets are allowed to disrupt your grid? That is why you have chosen this. To understand, to get beyond hurdles, to permit yourself to be this wonderful being that emit all love and light. When you finally understand that, all obstacles will fall away. For can it be an obstacle, when it is combated with love and light. It cannot exist.

(A lady’s voice) What about the expansion of light?

What would you like to know about the expansion of the light ?

(Lady) You have spoken many times about expansion, . . . All of us will have to expand our grids . . . . . how do we do that ?

This is a question that many have asked. Come. Sit and close your eyes. You will be our wonderful ‘guinea pig’ for this dear group. May we request you to participate? Come! Close your eyes. All may watch this dear child. All those who can see aura and colour, observe the level that you are able to see around her physical body. Observe the colours. Child, keep your eyes closed and consciously concentrate on expanding and energizing your grid. All you will do is fill your own grid with love and light. I will aid you in this process, but I will not do it for you. YOU will do it. I will simply support you. Proceed! Expand. Pour in love and light and expand. Expand! Expand! Expand! Expand! Expand! Do you see? Can you feel an expansion? HOLD the expansion. Radiate love and light outward, throughout the Universe. Beyond the physical boundaries that you have imposed upon your own grid. These boundaries do not exist. Your grid expands as you radiate the love and light. Radiate love and light throughout this group. Contain it child. Contain it. Slowly relax. Do not attempt any more expansion, but allow the expanded state to stay with you. You may slowly open your eyes. Slowly child you must open your eyes.

Do you understand now how to expand? Would you like to share with these dear friends the experience you had?

I have to start by saying that I had preconceived notions about the energy grid, the . . .. work and . . different. . But, it is actually very simple. What I saw was a complete body breakdown that I could not . . . at one point I was the Masters’ energy and at one point I was beyond the Sun and when I was radiating outwards I thought of you and you were me and I didn’t feel any distinction . . . . . .

That is true expansion. Each and everyone can do it in their own way. Your experience may not be her experience but you will know within your core that expansion has taken place. Once you add this to your daily prayers and meditations, as an exercise to grow, expand and attempt to HOLD the expansion as long as you can. Initially, you may simply be able to hold this feeling of expansion for a few minutes. But as you work at it, you will eventually be able to hold it the whole day. And when you can do that, NOTHING can trouble your day. You have the most glorious day imaginable.

(A male voice) : . . .during the day, somewhere or the other something happens and something is ‘cooking’ up to a point, I invariably go to . (Baba ?). .I start to hear what is the (explanation ?). Many times one doesn’t know which is the correct voice that is coming, but invariably, if you re-wind back to what you heard the first time, you can follow it through, it’s probably the most difficult thing you can do, it works out for its own benefit.

Where do you think most geniuses have received greatest inspiration?

(Same male voice continues): On the toilet! (Laughter)

But there are times when it catches you unawares. Something is going on, an argument with someone or some sort of discord and it tells you: ‘just don’t say what you’re going to say’. And the moment you say it, you realize you shouldn’t have. Sometimes you wanted something to happen, you have a phone call and you are in the bathroom or something so they take you AWAY from saying that thing, and they don’t want to say it after that. So I think if one becomes more AWARE of that sort of thing as it happens every day, you can start becoming . . . .

Take a leaf from this child’s book. CONNECTION! Connection which is HEEDED. You have grown greatly, son ! USE your intuition, use your sense of humour, use your happy-go-lucky attitude. Use your strength!

May I say one more thing – I have noticed that the down side of this is an ‘involuntary judgment’. Sometimes it is very difficult to keep away. Because your intuitional sense allows you to sometimes see a little BEYOND what is convenient. It’s very difficult not to judge and take steps . . .. .

Along with the gift come responsibilities. Of course as your intuitive abilities increase, as they do with ALL here, opportunities to face your own issues – in your case it may be judgment – in another’s it may be condemnation, in a third it may be ‘self-flagellation. Of course those opportunities will arise. That is the greater responsibility of a gift, because no longer can you claim a lack of awareness. You ‘KNOW’ better.

Syrus: Sir I’m getting a messsage that this book is called Harry Potty! (Laughter)

Perhaps you too should write a book.

Syrus: On the same potty? (Laughter)

There is infinite space for all! (hearty laughter)

Sir when I connect to my Master every day, I get a lot of vibrations. . . sometimes . . . but it’s happening more and more. . . why ?

Child, the vibration increases because you are not allowing in your physical, the acceptance of a different vibration. Allow your body to be an ‘empty vessel’. These are specific instructions for YOU. Do not necessarily apply them. Allow yourself the mental image of an empty vessel. Allow these vibrations into your body and instruct the Universe to allow you to fill to the level that your body can contain and hold.

Excess vibrations must be grounded. Be aware of what is causing blockages. When there are blockages the energy cannot flow easily; obstructions in the vibrations will cause physical discomfort. Relax, allow the body to be an empty vessel, ground excessive energy.

 

Jade Fire blessed the group.

 

Meher Baba :

Soo bathaa exercises karoch. (Laughter )

Chalo! I’m giving you an exercise now.

Today when you go home, for half an hour, you choose ANY AGE you want to be, 10, 9, 8, jay bi joiay tay. But it has to be pre-teen, haan? And you behave like a PRE-TEENAGER for half an hour, (hearty laughter) with your husband, wife, friends, anybody (hearty laughter) and see what happens. (laughter) You don’t tell them you are doing this. You do it. (hearty laughter) Aapray joyech. . . . (hearty laughter) Just see how it feels!

Syrus: But my wife is here and she knows !

Ketlaa wives che tamaari paasay? Ooper, neechay, left, right?

Syrus : Ooper kon che tay nathi malum !

Aray tyan ooper ketla wives chhe-ni? (hearty laughter)

Syrus: To pachi maar persay! (hearty laughter)

Of course then you can have a fight like children only! You can throw bricks at each other and books. (hearty laughter)

Syrus: Manayj bi bhari persay saheb - . . . . badhi ‘Murano’ badhoo tori kahrsay nay bijay dahray . . . . (hearty laughter)

You will be a child for one hour. ONE HOUR! (hearty laughter)

(another male voice) Even for the whole day!

Aah! Very good! Just try it. Jokes apart. (hearty laughter) Try feeling like you are ‘nine, for half an hour. Every action, every comment you make, every dealing with another person, try for half an hour and see the change in your life.

Will you try it? Will your husband throw you out?

(female voice) : I hope not ! . . . . (hearty laughter)

That’s the way! (hearty laughter)

But I’ll throw him out! (hearty laughter) . . . . .

Aaray chaalsay pachi. Bijaa husbands chhe ni – ahiya ek che . . . .. That’s the way. Bijaa o say (hearty laughter)

(female voice) . . . . . . (hearty laughter)

Aaray baapray ! Ahiya ketlaa boyfriends che ahiya, ketlaa boyfriends che?

(female voice) . . . .

Do it with your friend, do it with your ‘naukar’, (hearty laughter) do it with your driver, (hearty laughter) do it means ‘behave like a child’! Ha ! Bijoo kai nai haan? ! (very hearty laughter) Bijoo kai nai! Haan. I can see your mind working! (very hearty laughter)

So who is not going to do this today? Everyone promising me?

(female voice) Ya ya !

With your son – you’ll behave younger than your son. He will think you are ‘gheli’ – pun away chaalsay. (hearty laughter)

If he gets angry with you, you pick up a cake and throw it. (hearty laughter) and you stamp your feet haan? Like a nine year old! (hearty laughter)

(female voice) Why only a nine year old?

Chaalo pachi ? Two year old! Chaalsay! Pun you’ll need a cot at home nahi pachi soo karsay? (squeals of hearty laughter)

You’ll not do it? Why?

(female voice) . . . . .

Go and play in the garden yaar after the meeting! (squeals of hearty laughter) Hop-scotch ahiya ardho kalaak karo, pachi gehray jaao! Watchman che ni ahiya bahaar? Bus, tehni saathay rum! (squeals of hearty laughter) You will all watch that she’s playing hop-scotch after the meeting! Sidhoo! That of course is a child only. No problem there.

Seriously! Be a child for half an hour! You don’t have to make a fool of yourself. You can if you want to. But FEEL what it felt like, at 8 or 9 years in your heart! When you are talking, when you are moving – for half an hour! And see, re-experience the ‘child’ within you. After the first day you will want to do it again. Half an hour!

Meher Baba blessed the sitters and the meeting ended.
