Greetings. Time to experiment and learn about your own energies. Time to understand your mastery. Small exercise. I ask one of you to give me a chain if you possess one, with a crystal at the end. This shall suffice.

Greetings from Melchizedek.

A small experiment. (To Nandinie) Thank you, dear child (for her chain and crystal). Son, (to Sohrab) you will co-ordinate. We will use the energies of this group; of the whole group, not just the people seated here today right now. We will use these energies in an act of divination… pendulum. Please understand that none of my energies are present here today. I am in a way channeling you. Let those that ask questions ask them concisely. Everyone else concentrate on sending forth your energies to the keeper of this crystal. Do you understand son?

We ask you to thank the crystal, thank your higher self and thank the energies of the people.

Very brief today, but first to remove your confusion. (To Darshna) No little one, the upheavals do not mean that the Earth is a sacred planet. The Earth already is. The upheavals are only a manifestation of how those on Earth wish to remove residuary energy. This is not the decision of the Earth.

(To the group) We wish to talk about something very mundane today, nothing esoteric or spiritual at all. Down to Earth. Money. (Laughter) Your group has been facing a situation where you do not have, for the first time, adequate money to meet your needs. And each one of you has thought of practical ways to overcome this situation. But not one thought of looking within the group. For what else is this situation but a mirror to your group energy? At present the energy is one of lack, emptiness, and hollowness, void. Oh yes, your practical methods will tide you over for short period of time and you must take them, but the situation will keep repeating itself till the entire Group Of Love moves away from lack to ABUNDANCE. And how has this manifested itself in other ways? Let us explain that to you. There are certain members of your group who have quite forgotten that the only precondition that we had made was COMMITMENT. Say it aloud. You cannot even say it loud enough. (The group shouted: COMMITMENT) And what commitment then when so many excuses are taken to read what is written (in the transcripts) in the comfort of the home, and not make that extra effort to come here. No, we do not talk of those who come not because of work and business. Those must be respected, because we have often told you work is worship. That is the truth. We talk of those who make other excuses "I need to stay with my family. I need to sleep on a Sunday afternoon. My husband does not like it." (Laughter) Lack of commitment. The key word being LACK.

You may decide to do what you need to do to encourage commitment but those who have not this commitment must be equally encouraged to remove their energies from the conglomerate energies of this Group Of Love. This does not mean that they are to stop their attendance. But the intent to be a part of this group makes them a vital part of the energy of this group and if their energy has lack it will transmit into the energy of this group. And if, therefore, you require a permanent measure, then the only one is the energy of abundance being the key factor to your energy of this group.

Money plays a very important role in your life, as it should. As it should. But do you know WHY? It is not because it makes you rich; it is not because it gives you plenty, it is because it is the standard, the flag bearer, the instrument with which you measure your energy. And that you have not realized.

When you go to buy something which strongly attracts you, and then you use these words, "I cannot afford this" not to buy it, you instantly put out energy of lack into your energy field. If you do not have the money, funds, at that moment in time, do not say I cannot afford it. Say instead "At this present moment in time I do not have the physical translation of my abundance." In these words you have acknowledged two vital facts; one and of prime importance is the acknowledgement that there is abundance. And two, that it has not physically manifested at present, which instantly takes you towards taking steps to towards that manifestation.

Let us give you other examples. When things come free to you, how do you feel?

You feel happy. But do you understand that nothing comes free. Do you understand that you have either expended your energies already which are only being reimbursed to you or that the universe is aware that you have to expend a large amount of energy in the future and is giving you a buffer stock? Nothing comes free. And how can it? Energy must flow everywhere. If it were uni-directional it would create vacuums in your energy fields, in your universe, which would eventually translate to physical voids, the consequences of which we will not discuss here.

So welcome that which comes free, yes, but with the awareness of why it has come free. Be aware of each moment and each event in your life. Do not accept anything without knowledge. Somehow this group has begun to ask a lot of questions dealing with very large significant abstract issues and the smaller ones important to you are not asked. Why? Do you think you must only focus on universal knowledge and leave your own personal knowledge behind? Where have you been holding the question-answer meetings regularly, my son, and in these meetings, the few that you have held, why have you all not asked questions which you think are insignificant. For example "Why am I happy when something comes to me free?" You don’t know the answer. And you didn’t even think to ask. Within the next three weeks, hold one such meeting and ask the most insignificant questions. Nothing pertaining to love and spirituality and sacred truths; they will not be answered or they will be deliberately answered inaccurately, (Laughter) leaving it to you to guess. (Laughter) No, we do not mean this as humour; we mean to draw your attention to the fact that growth in all areas and knowledge in all areas is equally important, and money is not a tainted subject to talk of.

Lets us take another example. These wise ones who are now your ‘guardians’, (Laughter) making them sound even wiser, (Laughter)….only the masters know the truth of the statement…. (Laughter) What do they do when we somehow force them to accept energy exchange?

At least he is honest if not fully wise! (Laughter) And how do you play games?

He has instantly instilled his ‘lack’ energy into the person coming to him. How do I know that the person can afford it? So I will not set a figure. But, if the Masters set a figure you will follow?

Acknowledgement of lack. Can you see how the energy of lack has filled your energy fields? (To Sohrab) Why can you not be honest with yourself and ask yourself, were you to go to another who would help you as much as you do the others, how much would you be willing to pay.

To yourself. Set that figure as your energy exchange. Yes, always acknowledge that if another claims ‘non- affordance’ you will accept in joy whatever his limited abundance energy will permit him to part with.

Yes, because money is not a subject that is shameful to talk about.

‘If you feel you wish to put in any other figure which is the right energy exchange for you, you are at liberty to do this and I would most joyfully accept it’. Do not speak of it as… ‘if you can afford it.’

We know. The more you can’t, the more you inflict upon this group, ‘mediocrity’. Abundance and growth in number that you so wish to see my little one, cannot happen when there is simultaneous lack. Was there any hesitation of money or collection when you first started? When this child first started all her channellings? Was money an issue with those who came? When you first started? When her small home suddenly grew?

And her small home grew to more than twice its size and accommodated all those who came.

You have your answers now.

No son, you are not that important! (Laughter)

Now, let us come to another issue here which leads from what we have told this child. When he gives the option to the other "to pay", let’s use that bad word "pay", "to pay" (Laughter) what they think is right, you know how often you have been under paid, do you not?

Does this have any influence upon him? None. But, what about the person? When you wish to buy a bottle of good wine, can you pay the price of water? And when you pay the price of water what do you get in return? Water, not a good vintage wine. But he is not in charge of the water and the wine. He distills the same wine of the same good quality and vintage for all. You are in charge of receiving wine or water. And what you put out is what you get in.

But what I am hearing? What if I truly cannot afford more than what I have paid?

My beautiful one, first of all stop saying ‘afford’. Reframe your question again and ask me "What if I do not have the present physical manifestation of my abundance, to pay more than what I have?" Then you get wine. Because the universe is not looking at the notes, it is looking at the energy. Only he looks at the notes. (Laughter) So how does it benefit you to put in less into his little box? None.

Ah, now I am hearing other wheels turning, that means I should put in much more. That also comes out of lack. My honest assessment is that what I got from him is worth Rs. 500/- let me put in Rs. 1000; I will get twice the benefit. Will not happen, you will still get water. (Laughter) but he will benefit. (Laughter)

When energy exchange is left up to you, you are being forced to look within. (To Sohrab) Don’t play games with yourself now and continue the habit.

Why are you all so ashamed, fearful, miserly with money? When you give out the energy of abundance how can it not be replaced by like energy? And if you are down to your last note of money and you give that out, with true joy of abundance, you will never have an empty purse. But everything is first evaluated by – can I afford it? Is it worth this much? And how do you judge its worth? Not by the energy benefit that you have got. You judge the worth of everything even something as small as a pen, and something which so many of you consider as insignificant as the services of your servant. What is its worth? Can I make my servant work one more hour without paying for it? Of course your servant will work, but you have to pay for it. And sometimes money payment is easier. Sometimes money payment is easier. Nothing comes to you free.

Yes, my impatient one, yes.

Do not say I am confused; say I do not have the conscious knowledge.

The reason why you do not have conscious knowledge is because you have put each one into a different category. They are all the same. Can there ever be service without honour? Can you give service without being honored for the service you give? And can you ever receive benefit of the service when you do not honor the one who serves you? And when here is honour in service, there is always adequate and appropriate energy exchange. Not more and not less, both of which arise out of lack. And when there is true energy exchange, the more you expand your own energies, the more will the universe return it to you, not ten-fold, my beautiful one, a thousand- fold.

Each one is in service to another. Are we not in service to you? But do you know the irony? If we were to allow you to pay whatever you wish, you would pay very little. That is the truth. You would pay very little. You are paying what, (To Sohrab) what is the figure?

Fifty Rupees, is that how much our service means to you? (To Sohrab) And with what wise evaluation did you come up with this figure? (Laughter) Because there are some who cannot afford more that fifty and what if they do not come?

It is a figure fixed through lack and fear. (To Naval) My son, we do not envy your duty in this group. Your books will never show you good enough figures. You will always be tense and anxious about how to pay. We do not envy you. We’d rather be Masters. (Laughter)

And yet, why do we talk to you of this now? Why didn’t we talk to you of this when it was fixed at fifty all those years ago? Because my beautiful, beautiful Group Of Love, you have grown enough to now acknowledge this truth. Because in your growth we can see only one obstacle. Your own energy of lack. And we know you have the strength and the courage and the power to remove it instantly, if you should intent. That is why we have talked to you about it today.

(To Sohrab)Now, why don’t you have a little game? One day, let them pay what they wish. It will be interesting for you. Some will underpay and some will over pay. And yet, not a single figure will be right. Because you have not acknowledged to yourself the service the Masters do for you. You have not acknowledged to yourself the service you do, for the Masters.

The figure is immaterial. What is significant is the intention. And of course, there will be those, if you should so desire to increase this figure by some stroke of wisdom, (laughter), yes, there will be those who will stop coming and it is their right to do so if they should so wish. If they should so desire to stop coming because they wish to continue in lack, they must be permitted to and those who desire to stop coming out of a result of their own abundance, they too have to be permitted to do this.

Ask yourselves now; what role does money play in my life? Why do I hold onto it, so fiercely? When you refuse to open your fist you make no room for the abundance of the universe to come to you. When you wish to receive something you must open your fist. It is the open palm that receives, not the closed, tight fist. And what is the significance of opening the palm? It is surrendering your vanity, your boastfulness, and your past residuary energies and saying "I let it all go. And I receive fresh, revitalizing energies of joy and abundance into my life." Neither miserliness nor an overt show of spending reveals abundance. Both reveal lack.

Two questions we will permit.

Sabal: I have been coming to this group for quite a few years now, and I always remember there being a lot of interest in being here. Not just me but all. I think it grew with so many people. But something, I feel for myself is that if I am not here on Sunday’s I don’t miss it, and that’s part of the graduation process. You can’t stay in the same class for five years.

Not all have ‘graduated’ my little one. This very aspect of lack of interest comes out of lack of commitment…. to whom? Certainly not to the group. There have been many who misunderstand when we have spoken of commitment. We ask for Commitment to self. But it is all lack.

When a group is first started universal energies are there to support and aid till the group is strong enough to become an entity by itself. At this stage, universal support is withdrawn. The group must then stand, grow and evolve, on its own.

You don’t wish to afford it? You don’t wish to welcome it into physical manifestation now. Don’t use the word afford. In your human terms, the word afford is now synonymous with lack. It is not synonymous with abundance. And though you may not mean it consciously as such, the vibrations of the word have taken on the vibrations of generations of human intent. Do not use this word.

Make it into PM. (Laughter)

None, none. We have shown you the direction this group can take. We will do no more. The Group of Love is now on its own. It must grow on its own. We have done our service to you by once again guiding you into ‘seeing’ the lack. But will you see it, and then will you acknowledge it? That is up to the Group Of Love. No magic formulae.

Be Light.
