There is a difference between being correct—following protocol—and actually being right. Baba taught me to be okay even if no one talked to me or liked me. Yes, Baba taught me to be okay no matter what. How did he do that? In 1979, when Baba took the appointments secretary position away from me, people stopped talking to me. They …
Thank you….
Whatever God does He does for good. So say thank you. Yes, say thank you. When things go “wrong”, say thank you. When things go “right”, say thank you. We are actors in a play. Stop complaining about the scene in which you are playing. First, the part was designed specifically for you; second, the lines are up to you. …
Grace….
There’s so much talk about Grace. Born again, Pentecost, Yoga, New Age, from every corner we hear this word used. What is Grace? For me, Grace is knowing who I really am. Knowing through Being is what Grace gives us. Many people believe that Grace is having the bells and whistles; the lights, sounds, feelings, smells, and even tastes that …
There is a difference….
There is a difference between being human and being a personality. As a human we use our personality to express our humanness. As a personality we hide our humanness and manifest our limited shrunken small selves as if they is who we really are.

Nothing, if …

Today Walking Home with Baba: The Heart of Spiritual Practice comes out….
Today Walking Home with Baba: The Heart of Spiritual Practice comes out. This is a huge step for me. I have been practicing what Baba taught me all these 30 years since he left his body. When I first went to Baba I was not enamored of the trappings around him, but I was attracted to him, not really knowing …
The light that enlivens….
The light that enlivens the subtle creative process is the same light that enlivens the shrunken, ignorant, delusive small self. We have to choose–and we can choose–what we enliven. Will and discernment are so important. Love enlivens everything, but because it passes through different vehicles until it reaches full manifestation, by the time it manifests fully it is twisted …
Characteristics of Mysticism….
From Mysticism, by Evelyn Underhill: 1. True mysticism is active and practical, not passive and theoretical. It is an organic life-process, a somthing which the whole self does; not something as to which its intellect holds an opinion. 2. Its aims are wholly transcendental and spiritual. It is in no way concerned with adding to, exploring, re-arranging, or improving anything …
