Good evening.

Let us have some fun today. We ask you to think of one object, any object, day-to-day simple object. We’ll give you one second to think of it. We don’t want you to intellectualize.

(A short pause)

So your object is now with you. We may not be able to cover all but we will try to take in as many as we can. Let us have fun with your objects.

Cellular phone. Communication is her biggest issue that she needs to resolve. Why did she not then think of a letter, paper, pen? Cellular phone. When she communicates, she wants to hide parts of herself from others, which means she wants to hide parts of herself from herself. It is convenient to talk on a phone. No one sees you. They do not know how you react. You can pretend. You can mask. You can disguise. But just as communication is your issue, it is your greatest strength. When you are able to communicate without the mask, the strength will reach its peak.

It has to come together. The pen, again an instrument of communication. The crystal ball is the vision that he has of the world. His greatest issue is that he blocks the vision that he has of the world because he is too scared to communicate what he sees. He knows inwardly his greatness but he would rather be mediocre and use only a small insignificant pen that he knows will stop him from giving the complete picture. The pen can only be used to write and he can only write till his fingers tire or the ink runs out. It, therefore gives him a good excuse to stop. And yet, his greatest strength is in communicating in simple, almost insignificant terms, the large vision that he knows he has of the world.

Don’t let the ink run out! (Smile)

Wonderful. Was it full?

Empty. That’s how the bucket should be. Her bucket is empty so that she can fill it with what she desires. Study very carefully your astrological chart that you have just received. There was a reason why it took so many, many months before this child (Elaeenah) came to your chart. Because it is now time for you to read your mission. Your mission is to spread knowledge, to become an instrument, a vehicle, a bucket. Empty yourself of stale stagnant water. Let the bucket be completely empty and one day when you visualize your bucket, you will see that it is full.

Did it have thorns?

You didn’t feel it. Do you know that others do? Important to know that you have courage, strength, determination, passion. Your red was a deep, deep red. It wasn’t bright. It was not the red of blood. This red you have kept within you, not allowing yourself to let your fragrance spread to all. What you have allowed are your thorns to pierce. The thorns are essential. Sometimes, when you hold the rose, you ignore it till the thorns pierce you and remind you that you have a rose in your hand. But the rose need not try so hard to pierce. Be yourself. Your greatest issue is not permitting your full strength to be a fragrance that can spread into the world. You are scared. Did you smell your rose?

And how did it smell?

Now is the time to let others share the wonder. And yet, your greatest strength is also that. You do not have the ego need to push your rose in the face of others. You need to come to this beautiful balance. The flower and the thorn, spreading your fragrance and yet, not pushing the flower.

A chair. And why do you need so much support? Why are you so scared to stand? Do you really need a chair to hide in? You do not. Use that chair to stand up on and shout out to the world, "Look at me! This is who I am." You have a chair that you want to cringe in. You know somewhere deep inside that this chair is not essential anymore. But it has become a habit to sit. It has become a habit to depend upon others. Let go of your chair. And yet this chair will become your greatest strength. When you learn to stand, you will learn to give this chair to others to sit upon so that for a while, you can offer them rest and comfort till they are then ready to stand on their own.

A radio. Another hiding method and yet so different. She uses a communication tool to hide when she needs to communicate. He needs to hide when he receives. Your greatest issue to be resolved here is to stop your fear of receiving messages that you are receiving. But there is so much of doubt, so much of fear. That is the static on your radio. That is why the messages come garbled, incomplete. Turn your radio on loud and strong. This is your greatest strength. The ability to receive communication from realms that you do not even know exist. Don’t ever play the radio soft. Play it loud so that others may get a little irritated by this loud sound. But that is who you are. You are not a soft, gentle person that you are trying to be. You are our broadcaster but first this broadcaster has to receive our communication, loudly, strongly. Become your own antenna.

And why are you always so scared of slipping up? Is it not o.k. to be wrong? Let your banana be peeled. Throw the skin helter-skelter, not carefully into a dustbin. Throw it helter-skelter so that you may slip, in fact so that others may slip too, and then have the courage to pick up that banana skin and say, "I am sorry. I slipped up." You don’t always have to walk firmly. You don’t always have to be perfect. The banana is a slippery fruit. Peel it and enjoy its fruit. Let it give you strength. And then see the skin. See the lines upon that skin. See the striations on the outside. See the black spots. Don’t they make the fruit more attractive? A plain yellow or a plain red or a plain green would really not attract you. It’s the black dots that pull you to the skin, make you want to peel it, eat it. Sometimes, when you peel the banana, you find that there are certain parts of the fruit that are overripe. You wish to remove those parts. Those are parts of you that have done their task. You don’t need to consume them. Remove them and eat the rest of the banana. Don’t blame the banana for the overripe spots. The overripe spots show you that the fruit is sweet and ready to be eaten. Don’t blame yourself for your overripe spots, for your black spots. They make you the beautiful fruit that you are…a banana. Crazy! (Smile) That is your strength. Allowing yourself to be a little mad. In too much sanity, there is too little wisdom.

What kind of music were you playing?

A music system that is playing bhajans. Seems to be a very wonderful object to see. And what does it tell you about yourself? It tells us that you are scared to sing your own melody. You need a three dimensional object, not even a person, a thing, which will sing your melody. Objects don’t threaten. They don’t come forward to attack. They stay wired to one place. You have the control of moving it where you want. You have the control of what song it will sing and when it will stay silent. Make it into your strength because that is what it is. The music that is in your heart has to be heard. Why do you need a music system to play your song? How do you play your song? You give others transcripts to read, books to read, tapes to hear. Why can you not do all this yourself? You want her to hear a beautiful bhajan? Sing it yourself. So what if you don’t have the voice of a nightingale? She doesn’t need that. She needs the music in your heart. If you wish to communicate the wisdom of a transcript, can you not do it yourself? You do not need the words of the Masters. Let your own music system inside open up and play, rewind and fast forward whenever it wishes.

An apple. Once again a fruit and yet so different. The apple is the only fruit that has the ability to remove toxicity from the body. You are a healer. Remember this. A little bit of apple juice will remove toxicity from several areas that are physically afflicted. Do you know why you got the apple now? Your weakness is that the apple is lying uneaten. If it had been eaten, you would not have seen it. Eat the apple. Let it remove your own toxins and then the strength of this apple will be offered to others as a true healer. Let your apple be red and polished. Yours was not completely red. It was multi-hued. Red. Strength. Passion. Fire. All that is within you. The apple first has to remove the toxins, and then the fire and passion will come out automatically.

Sohaiya: A wine glass.

Empty or filled?

So much lack of joy in your life and so many unfulfilled desires. But the wine glass is yours to fill. Don’t wait for someone to come with the wine because someone may come but the wine may be very sour, acidic. Don’t wait for the glass to be filled by another. Fill it yourself. Go out today and get a little drunk. (laughter) No, we are serious. Get a little drunk. In that little bit of drunkenness, elucidate all your unfulfilled desires. Every time you have pressed down a desire you’ve emptied the wine glass a little more. Today it is completely empty. And your strength of that wine glass will be to recognize the emptiness in others and that same sweet wine that you have filled; you can help fill another’s glass. Get a little drunk. Take his (Sohrab’s) help. (Laughter)

You saw a servant. Important to understand this. Tell me, why do you think you have seen it, before we tell everyone? Why do you think? What does this mean to you?

He knows the truth and yet, isn’t this your strength? A servant is one who serves. Not such a bad thing, is it? But how will you serve if you cannot depend upon yourself? If those in need cannot depend upon you, you have no opportunity to serve. Honour yourself for being a servant. For having been chosen by the universe to serve so many, many different things and many people. But this honour can only come when you have the pride and the courage, like our beautiful son here, to sometimes be wrong. Like her, you do not need support. Stand up on your own, even if it means falling down. Every time you fall, stand up on your own. One day, your legs will learn how to stand and that will be the day, you can take your first step as our servant of the universe.

He wishes to move. To move into realms that are lying undiscovered. But your space ship was standing still. It cannot move because there is no one in that space ship yet. You have to let go of the earth realm before you can move into other realms. Wonderful object. It has given you a look into your future, my son. It is time for you to leave the earth realms, to finish your loop on this earth and to now take incarnations in future, at different places, dimensions. But for that, you have to complete every single task on earth. That will be the propellant that your space ship will require to move. Do not let unfinished tasks hold your space ship in suspension. Take the opportunity to finish all earthly tasks. You are ready to move to other planetary existences. And that, my son, is your mission. You are a searcher of scientific truths. But your mission has stopped because whenever you come to a certain planet, you have to find its entire truth before you can move on to finding other truths. And there are still some truths you have to find. Be the scientific discoverer that the universe needs.

You are in the lead. You have been leading. Lead yourself out of this loop.

You will keep waiting because you are waiting for another to do it. YOU are the scientist. YOU are the leader. YOU are the discoverer. YOU are the explorer. The space ship is waiting for the captain to return.

Both very, what you might call, sweet images. And why, my son, does your life lack sweetness? How strongly you yearn for love, for nurturing, for comfort, for joy. The little dog shows you who you are. You are a nurturer, loyal, faithful, loving, and so completely filled with the ability to love unconditionally. But the chocolate is missing in your life. The sweetness. And your strength is therefore, lying unutilized. Who will give you this chocolate? None that you seek it from. None. They are all too busy in their own tasks. Should we give you the experience of chocolate? A recipe? Make it on your own. All it needs is milk, sugar and chocolate powder. So simple. And then it requires heat. Chocolate requires heat. Heat of physical experiences. And then it requires a period of setting, when you are able to forget the heat, not hold onto it. Allow yourself to set and the sweetness is there for you then to eat, whenever you wish. Your greatest issue resolution is not only the sweetness that you lack; it is also your great, great need to please others, whether it is at work or at home or with friends. You so much want their love, their acceptance that you cannot stop licking. It’s fine not to be accepted by all, as long as you’re accepted by yourself.

Empty or filled?

With what? With what did you see your plate overflowing?

(…………………………Answer is not audible.)

You’re playing games with yourself. Do not do that. The truth can never be revealed. Stop. There is much to be revealed to you but you need to first look at it.

New or old?

Had you used it yet?

Why not? Because when something is new and if you hold it in your hand and let a ball hit it, it will get bashed in again, won’t it? And you know the pain of being bashed. The old cricket bat that you have given up still carries its memory of ball after ball smashing against it, of the bat having hit those balls. Sometimes those balls did not land where you wished. So now this new cricket bat, this new power, is lying unutilized. This new power is meant to be bashed about. Of course, there will be cricket balls hitting this new bat and sometimes this new bat will not land the balls where you wish but it is a new power given to you. It is you. You face a world that throws balls against you, balls of great ignorance. Sometimes they hit your bat and your bat does not know what kind of a swing to take. That is where your bat will learn and very, very soon, the bat will be hitting all the fours and all the sixes, but when it comes for that time when you have to be caught out, proudly hold that bat up and proclaim to the world, "What an innings I have played". Cricket has never been your game. You like rather the rough and tumble of football. You like physical contact, the pushing, the colliding, the taking away the ball by sneak because in football, you are in control. In cricket, the bat sometimes does not follow your instruction. Take this power. You now have it. Leave the old bashed up bat behind. Take the new one proudly in your hand, walk onto the field for a new innings. We expect a lot of centuries from you. This umpire will see that there is no misplaying on your part and no unfairness on another’s.

Nargis: Orange.

All fruits. All fruits. This is a fruit basket. But you know what that means, don’t you? If you’re in a fruit basket, you’re a little cracked. (Laughter)

Peeled or unpeeled?

Why are you waiting? Appearance is so good. You’re so scared that if you peel it, it won’t look so good any more. You’re scared to experience whether that orange is sweet or sour. Your experience of its seeds scare you. Could it also be that you do not know how to peel the orange? Could it also be that you’re waiting for someone else to peel it for you? The orange represents each segment of you and that is all lying within a rough, coarse skin. The outside looks very attractive but it is now time to know what the inside is like. Some sections of the orange will be very sweet. Some will be dried, hard. Without a word, throw them away. Don’t hang onto them. Some will be sour. When they are sour, taste another segment, which is sweet and eat both together. And then there are seeds. Those are not meant to be just spat out. Those are potential parts of you. Plant them. Give them the right soil and water and let them grow. Others are waiting for the orange tree and you are the farmer. But unless the farmer opens the orange, the seeds cannot be removed.

I am the same strand of energies you (Zafar) previously channeled. Continue to support.

Did you notice that most of the observations made, were to do with communication or the lack thereof? It is now time for all of you, with your level of development, to open your minds to new forms of communication. At this stage, you need not tap into them all but you need to acknowledge their existence. You are naturally aware of the verbal communication, mental communication and the written word. Look beyond. There is no object within your universe, which does not deal with communication.

Do you think the cell structures in your body are random? No! You know they form various DNA blueprints. Should you be able to read them better, they would give you and your scientists a full history of you, past, present and future. There is a blueprint within every atom of every cell in your body. Do you think the stars that you see around you are randomly placed? They are not. There is gigantic writing in the sky. Oh, that you could read this writing! There are symbols within your universe that give indications of the history of all species that exist therein. Do you think the crashing of the waves on the shore is random? No. There is a pulse and a rhythm to it that communicates with various sea creatures and extra-terrestrial creatures but also with different elements in the universe. Do you think the patterns of the grains of sand on your seashore are random? No. Each one, each aspect, has a meaning and a reason.

True, you cannot at this level fathom what all this means but try to expand your knowledge. A simple task. Take a magazine or a newspaper or a piece of print in a foreign language that you do not understand. Place it in front of you, examine it psychically, place your physical hand upon it and feel what that piece of literature is communicating to you. This is an interesting exercise, particularly if you have, for example a newspaper or magazine, which has many articles because each will have different vibration. You do not need to understand the language to pick up whether a certain paragraph makes you feel good. Is it describing perhaps war and destruction or is it describing pleasant aspects of life? Start honing your skills.

Stand under the stars and examine a certain area. See what that feels to you. What is that sector of the star system telling you? Try it. You will surprise yourself. Start being aware of different forms of communication.

Do you think that the jewelry that you wear is random? It tells its own tale about your own life history, about the patterns, emotions, blockages and flows that you are going through. It need not be valuable. Any piece of adornment has a rhythm, a pattern and a message. Look far beyond, friends and soon the universe will start opening its secrets to you.
