Ellaeenah’s Channelling:
Good evening!
Good evening, sir.
She (Ellaeenah) has grown, hasn’t she?
Yes, she has.
So much pain in this room! Those who have come today have come not to hear but to be healed. All those of the ‘heart group’, open up all your heart meridians and send your energies outward to mingle with, at least, two in the room who have come here to be healed. You are now strong. You can now take on the energy of their pain. Mingle it with your own strength and return it. Let them be healed.
(Pause)
Today we will take one word from anyone who wishes and speak on that word and then to another and another. Will you (Diana) coordinate? One word.
Dhiren: Abundance.
What a big word you have chosen but it is apt. It is apt because the pain that each one of you has come with today is the pain of some lack. Understand that abundance is not money. Abundance is not wealth. Abundance is not prosperity. Abundance is not health. Abundance is not joy. Abundance is not love. Abundance is all of these. So when you ask for abundance, you are asking for the universe. You are asking for that which is your right. YOU are the universe and all that this universe has to offer is yours by right to command. Do not ask, beg, plead, request. Command the universe. But you often don’t know what you ask for, and it is this haziness, little one, that causes the command to seem unheard. It has not been unheard. It is heard but the command is so hazy, scattered, confused, that the execution cannot be focused.
When you ask for abundance, think a while. What part of the universe do you wish for at present? Is it money that you wish for? Do not be ashamed. Why must you attach so much guilt to a medium that you have yourself created? Why do you feel so guilty when money knocks at your door? Is it, little one, that the money that you hold in your hand seems to be heavier than the self-worth that you hold in the other? The two pans (of a weighing scale) never seem to be equal. The pan holding self-worth always seems so light. Only that who is honoured in being who he is can command the universe, none other. Have the self-esteem, honour and pride to be that which you are.
We deliberately do not use the word ‘who’. Who you are is only spirit. Your spirit never feels empty. Your spirit never experiences the lack. It is that which you are that experiences a state out of abundance. That which you are! Again, you have invented these words. You call them adjectives and you judge by these adjectives. So that which is beautiful, that which is honest, that which is good, that which is trustworthy, you honour. That which is ugly, that which is poor, that which is dishonest and your greatest, greatest judgment that you pass, that which is evil, you look down upon, you condemn. But, my little ones, have you ever thought who you are condemning? That which is this little child (Khursheed) is this beautiful child (Dhiren) is this heart of love (Silla) and yet, do you see these three as one? No. You judge him often as superficial, corny, silly. You judge her (Khursheed) as full, angry, unhealthy. You judge her (Silla) as beautiful, loving, giving. You have described each one by that which you see, but she is as corny as he and he is as beautiful as her but you couldn’t see that. You give them characteristics that you see in your sense of perception. That is not who he is, nor her, nor her. They are all spirit. So that which you see is what you describe. And why do conflicts take place? Because that which you see is coloured. It has your own special colour. Why do you only see this beautiful child as superficial? Because you have never taken the time to understand and look at the depths of his being. He has the depth of understanding and knowledge that very few have. He only chooses to be corny. She chooses to show her depth. He does not choose this. On the basis of a free will choice, you have judged these two and judged them both incorrectly. But in your dual world, your personality and spirit live together. That moment when you access the strength of your spirit completely and command the universe, in that moment manifestation is complete. But if you command the universe with that which you are, which is always incomplete, manifestation cannot take place. But if there is honour in the imperfection and incompleteness of that which you are, manifestation is instantaneous because there is no shame there is no guilt for that which you are. It is in this understanding that you understand unity.
Shame and guilt come out of only knowing separateness. When you know unity and you can see an imperfection within yourself and see that as perfection within the other, you know that that perfection is you, just as that imperfection is also you. In that moment of awareness, command the universe and the universe can never disobey a command of one who is that honoured. So for abundance, its root is honour, honour in that which you are. The day you can look at your reflection, see all its ugliness and feel your heart swell with pride and say, "This is I, in all completion of imperfection. This is I and here I stand and command the universe to manifest for me this that I desire". Instantaneous. We have explained much, much earlier what you call miracles. Do you recall? A miracle… mix up all these alphabets and it spells ‘reclaim’. Reclaim who you are. Reclaim your right to command. Reclaim your truth. Reclaim all that is, was and will be. Reclaim oneness.
Anita: Attachment.
Abundance. Attachment. Detachment. All closely linked. When one describes… again, the root cause of all your problems are your descriptions. You very rarely observe, you only describe. Detachment is observation. I see this child, sitting with his hands folded and his eyes shut. I observed. If I wished to describe, depending on how attached I am, I would describe him as completely lost in meditative posture. If I wasn’t attached to him, I would say, "He is asleep, so uninterested in what I am saying". Can you see how faulty description is? The truth is, do you really know if he is asleep or meditating or just lost in thought or some other reason that your physical mind could not even conjure up? When one is detached, one observes without descriptions. When one is attached, when one is clinging, when one is holding on too tight, then you have all your descriptive terms being used. As soon as a descriptive term is used, know instantly, little one, that there is an attachment. Are you attached to these walls? If I asked you to observe them, would you be able to observe? You’d tell me a colour, you’d tell me the cracks, you’d tell me the mark, but if there was an attachment, you would then go on to say, "How shabby". Do you understand the difference between observation and description? Description arises from your own personal sense of perception again.
And where does this sense of perception come from? My beautiful ones, it comes from you. How you perceive yourself, in honour or not. When there is honour in that which you are, you only observe your imperfections, you never describe them and in that observation there is recognition and an awareness of a truth that all imperfection is only truth that is seen through illusion. And when there is observation there is no guilt, no shame, no running down of yourself, then all that the universe places at your feet you accept as your right. That is why you feel no happiness and no unhappiness. Joy is a state of no feeling. You can never feel joy. You can feel sorrow. You can feel fear. You can feel happiness. You can only BE joy. And when you are joy, you can only observe and all that you observe is then through joy. Detachment is then complete.
Shernaz: Self-worth.
Self. The spirit that you are. Why do you honour us, little one? (Pause) We wait. Why do you honour us? Ask yourselves that. Why do you honour us? Because in us is reflected your own honour. I am honoured to be the Group Master. I am honoured that through the universal Masters, this group has grown beyond what you had ever imagined. I am honoured. I feel no sense of guilt, no shame at being how great I am. There is no falseness when I say, "I am Master" and no passing judgment upon you when I say, "I am Master" because in that I is YOU. That is why you honour us. Self-worth is living without fear. Can you do that? Can you do that? Live without fear? There is no one who can destroy you, no one who can demean you, no one who can deride you, because you are the universe. That is living without fear. Even when you are on the cross, there is no fear because there is recognition that it is but a wooden cross being used to bring an end to mortality. That is an observation. What is the fear? It (the body) is only dust that can be swept away. And if the cross is to be used as the broomstick, so be it! Be fearless. Fearless of acknowledging your greatness. Fearless in acknowledging your flaws. That is self-worth.
Priya: Healing.
When you acknowledge all that you are worthy of, the body, the mind, the emotions are healed and in that healing, you are only spirit. That is true healing. When you heal another so many of you concentrate only on the physical. That is of least importance. Next time someone comes to you and says, "I have cancer", turn around and say, "Live in joy! This cancer is your greatest friend." Why? Through this cancer that is physically present in your body, you now have the opportunity to recognize that in your mind and emotion which needs to be set right. Were it not for the cancer, how would you set it right? If this beautiful lamp would be ever burning, this little child would not pay any heed to it. It might collect dust and grime and no one would look up and wonder, "Do I need to pay attention"? But as soon as one of these lights blow out, all eyes will be on that lamp. That is the purpose of ill health, only to draw your attention to something that is urgent. But do not focus entirely on the physical. In fact, when you heal inform the one you are giving healing to, that all that you are doing is expanding your own energy structure to envelop theirs so that, in love, your energy can add to your patient’s energy, expand the energy of your patient. In its growth the physical imbalance will right itself automatically.
Scherry: Self- deception.
Child, when there is no self-worth, self-deception is sometimes the only tool available for that person to survive. When there is no sense of honour, when there is so much guilt and so much shame, the only way that person can survive is to deceive himself into believing that he is that which he is not. Often, it is the tool of the last resort. When in the eyes of others you see love and respect for another, but not for you, you begin to wonder why, and the person very rarely understands that which you see in another’s eyes is your own reflection. How can another’s eyes reflect respect and love when there is no respect and love within you for that which you are? And you so desperately seek that love and respect that like a child, who sometimes cries out loud so that his mother will come running, even though the child is not in pain at all, this child also cries out, but it uses mind games to cry out. If that one sees that you can heal so beautifully and through your healing, the love and respect that you receive is immense, the lack within that child will make that child want to heal. But how can that child heal? The child needs healing himself. So he pretends. But pretense is lies and if he tells lies, he then condemns himself; greater shame and greater guilt. So he must not recognize his pretense. Self-deception.
Your physical mind is a beautiful slave. It will do whatever you desire it to. If you are strong enough and if you can look at this apparel and tell your mind to show you that it is black, within a few moments the colour will change to black. Has the colour changed? No. But you will see the change from white to black. But how rarely do you use your mind as a slave? Most often, little one, the conscious mind becomes your master. The slave knows only to serve. It does not know how to be a master. And when you give your power away to such an ineffective master, it will play its games with you, but it is doing it out of a sense of service because that is what the mind knows to do. It knows to serve.
In the case of self-deception, it makes you believe that this is black; it makes you believe that you are that which you are not. A complete lack of self-worth. Such a person has no sense of honour for self and therefore, has no real sense of honour for anyone else. The person may seem to love and respect you. Even that is self-deception because when a person reaches such depths of lack of self-worth, the person has no awareness of true love, honour or respect. For such a one urgent healing is required, but sadly, due to the self-deception this healing is not asked for, nor accepted, as awareness is completely absent. When the fact of self-deception is pointed out to that one, you will often be met with a reaction of complete denial, anger and doubt in your own veracity, truth and ability.
Be Light!
Sohrab’s Channelling:
Meher Baba:
Kem chhe, mai? (How are you)?
Majhama. (Fine)
Badhao kem chhe ajay? (How’s everyone today)?
Majhama.
Aai mari girlfriend (Laila) chhe. (This one’s my girlfriend). What competition can I have? Nobody can match me.
Arre va! Photo lech! I have forgotten how to pose. It will not come out.
(Inaudible question)
He has to be with me. Kem?
Will you come to our party tonight?
Only if you give me clothes. You (Dhiren) will represent me tonight.
Dhiren: Can I kiss all the girls then?
Why have I chosen you? (Laughter)
There is so much pain. I have come only to spread a little light, a little lightness. It is up to you, if you allow this into your body. The choice must be yours. Are you listening to me?
Ellaeenah: Baba, I’ve been wanting to ask you one question. You’re such a humorous Master but your books are so heavy and dull and dry.
It is all perception.
Ell: But there’s no humour. How come?
You must understand things about the books. Part of it were misrepresentations of what I said. Parts of the books have also been written when I personally was in a disconnected phase. Yes. I will stand before all and say, "I had a disconnected phase". I understand now that by experiencing that, I am now able to help with so much more love, understanding and compassion for other people’s faults, mistakes. I truly have no judgment because I have personally made the same mistakes, behaved the same way, and judged people the same. What a blessing! What a blessing to be able to understand all of you so much better now and to love you as I love myself, mistakes and all.
But today is a day of light and celebration. New energies of rejuvenation, of power, mysticism and the occult have been released, not just in this city but around the globe. You are feeling the effects very concentrated here due to the work you (Nisha and Shernaz) have done on spreading the rays and due to the fact that this wonderful ‘heart group’ has connected with those above and those below. The flow is therefore more apparent. It is time for celebration, rejuvenation and growth. All those, not just in this room but those around the globe, who wish to participate of these energies may do so. They are for all. You watch! Many, many around the world will say, within the next one month, "I don’t know why I’m feeling different". "I don’t know why these strange things have happened in my life". "Goodness! How things have changed in my family situation"! Lots of changes have to happen, not from any force from above, but by collective consciousness being up a few notches. You have earned it and you have drawn it to you so be in a state of lightness.
She (Leila) is also my girlfriend.
Leila: Every day. Always.
Another Master:
Good thoughts. Good words. Good deeds. You have all heard this before. Very simple to understand. You all know what it means. But think about it, if you will, from a slightly different perspective. Think about these words in energy terms. When you output a good thought, you instantly hook, not only with the universal grid but the grid and vibration of all those who are simultaneously outputting a good thought, at that given instant of now. The collective magnification is incomprehensible. Hence, you feel this wonderful rush of energy within you, sometimes out of proportion with the small good thought you have put out. This is because you are connecting to all those beautiful thoughts circulating, not throughout your world but throughout the universe.
Similarly, when you speak a good word, you create a vibration from your mouth, the larynx, the pharynx, which is outputted into the universe. A physical vibration is created, which then finds a match with all other vibrations that have been created at that instant of now. Like attracts like. Suddenly, your body will sense a spate of vibrations coming back at you. Each will exactly match your good word, depending on the strength and intent of your words. The greater the strength, the greater the vibration that will come back to you because you will match those other vibrations of the same frequency.
In a good deed, you are linking up with the energies of a person or a group of persons to whom you wish to aid. You are then linking up with their vibrations, which come back to you and the vibrations of all others who are also linking up with other groups around the universe.
Do you begin to now see the magnitude of a single thought, word or action?
Similarly, in what you term negative, you hook up the same way. Now, from a universal perspective, there is no good and evil, there is different frequencies of vibration. For you, good means light, fine, high frequency vibration. For you, bad means dense, clogging, cloying, suppressing energy. It may interest you to know that each one of you, for your growth needs both good and bad. It is the quantities which you balance within yourself, which is dependent upon your free will that determines the appropriate balance for each individual. What generally happens is because of free will you mistake the level of balance that is necessary for you as an individual. Once you bog yourself down in a sea of, what you term, bad, negative, it is very hard to reclaim the positive. Similarly, you can bog yourself up in a sea of mindless, endless do-gooding, which is not appropriate for your physical body. The wonderful part of self-worth, self-realization, self-actualization is to understand and create for self the appropriate balance for you. Just a few words for you to re-assess before you start condemning and judging, both others and yourself.
