Dear friends,

I received a wonderful and cherished gift. Perhaps meaningless to most of you because of its impersonality!

SOMEONE sent me these (Thanks!):

Change is constant, they say, but certain things and real beliefs MUST not CHANGE! Nor practices!!

I am relieved to be reminded, re-learn and realize that...!

Must be Saturn Blessings...! For What It's Worth (FWIW)

Love and Light!

Dear Dada,

Impersonal it may seem to,....... maybe to most newcomers here....... but not the much older ones.

You spoke from the ....HEART... and mostly do.    
Reminds me of ...Down Memory Lane..............!

MA (Moon) and Saturn's gifts are gifts of Sani & Chandra collectively.
It doesn't come easy, with sustained effort (Karma)

P.S: I wonder where our Grandpa is? I remember him often and also feel that he is watching silently.  

Grandpa (dadu) Saturn? Whose gift came to grandson via MA!

Yes he is watching!

Love, Light, Learning,

It was 1992! Epiphany was in the air, everywhere... (SETH too...!)!

I was separated from my status quo in more ways than one, but yet not feeling lonely but rather very CONNECTED!

I did not find anything new, back then! Or a new reality, or yet another forum (which did not exist back then! Just free BBSs and commercial services like Compuserve, GEnie, Delphi, then QL etc! I have written and shared about those fondly! All over the place!

Compuserve was the best with its two fora and all the rest of nine yards! Between the two ranging from the mundane to the utmost esoteric realms going all the way into the 99th dimension that I mockingly write and share about, from time to time, of which I find this forum as a minor replica, my true explorations began!

Much I have shared, pretty much all that I learned I have shared, about people (discreetly of course) but more importantly about what they taught, and there is so much more that cannot be ever shared!

Many files, valuable to me looking back, have been lost due to changing computers, operating systems (SINCLAIR BASIC was where I began my journey into telecommunications) -- what has not changed is the fact that whichever machine or operating system was used, there was a REAL PERSON at the other end!

At first using a handle which was even 'worrisome', somewhat troubling, and often the messages emanating were even more worrisome! But I learned very readily to trust my instincts, perhaps I was meant to that way, but I tried too, sincerely!

Behind all those facades, dramas, bravados, magic, was ALWAYS an infant, sometimes sobbing, sometimes quiet, distrubed, confused, and other miseries that never end!

When I was a small child, a beggar used to come to our home almost daily. He was blind (small pox induced typical opaque corneal opacities!) and I was very scared of him. Ma was always nice to him and gave him food and money and one day she noticed my hesitancy. She from that day, coerced me to bring alms to him. Gradually, I got used to him, and irrational fear turned into familiarity! He was always smiling or maybe he had some other malady that made him smile that way or appear so.

One day, my dad got into the process and decided that the beggar should be given a blanket since it was cold and so on. The blanket was purchased and I was chosen to present it to him.

Expressionless, other than that smile and opaque look in his blinded eyes, the beggar accepted the alms and left. I must have been about 7 or 8 or thereabouts and did not feel (instinctively) that either Baba or Ma made the right choice!

We did not see the beggar for a few days as I recall! When he returned, he was still blind, with that smile on his face but no blanket!

I don't remember if I sighed a sigh or slapped my forehead but I remember continuing to bring alms to the beggar and never asked MA why the beggar did not cover himself with that gift of the blanket!

I ran into a friend who told me that she had a similar experience too. She gave her precious sweater to a poor girl and SAME STORY! The sweater or blanket was given and GONE and the receiver continued to shiver!

PRESCRIBE REMEDIES WITH CARE! Your heart may be in the right place, but Gifts can only get gratefully received when a place has been created for those in the receiving heart, with true humility...!

Love and Light,

Nice story RR

Thx for warm words from both my RR's , yea...I still read MB, but will be far less active, to great relief for some

If you allow me, then I will tell the same story, but another way. (maybe that is also the thought you had behind it )
Don't take me wrong, my story is universal, and include us all, even me:)

The blind beggar, can be us all, if we not allow ourself to be open for new input.
The food he/she beg for is the confirmation that everything goes well, that the thoughts he/she carry, is the right ones, that everything can be fixed, either by prayers, or by time or fate.

The boy can be any of us , the one who can see that something is wrong, but who lack own security, and by that keep silence.

The parents who gives food, can be teachers, priest, fellow believers, who feed the beggar with the right food (thoughts), that makes him/her content.

The Blanket, can be new thoughts....new way to see thing......questions about old truths... and so on.
If the blanket is used, it can warm you....it can give you new energies...new ways to see thing....it can even strengthen your own belief, if you take the task to evaluate your own thoughts, and creates thoughts that regardless of other, feels right in your heart.

When the beggar deny the carpet, then he put his own health at risk. We as humans must still give him the option to receive the carpet, because else we ourself become cold toward the weakest in society.

So also with the carpet of discussion....new ideas...new ways to see thing.....even if the receiver deny to evaluate them....it will plant small seeds.....our unconscious mind will ponder on them.....and just like the beggar will use his carpet if the weather will be cold enough, the discussion will give impulses to most of us.

Except for "internationals standards" NOTHING contain the """""""FULL TRUTH"""""....I don't own it....neither do you (the reader), and since none of us own it, we must always be open for listening.

The way I see my truth, is it, when it speaks to my inner self...NOT because other tells me that so is it.
I use my eyes....I question....and as a part of that I have more gone from my Native Religion toward Buddhism, even if I haven't taken the big step yet.
My philosophy is; It is how I live.....how I act...What I do, that comes from my inner self, that count in life, Not how many times I have said Halleleluja, or attended service, maybe that is a thought for Joe Doe?

(But my post is about everything in life, not just Religion)
""""""If New Thoughts was never received, we still would have lived in Africa and carried stone axes(or less)""""""""
