Dear Paul, Gratitude overwhelms me and I want to thank you (and Jane and Tim) for the wonderful [One-Day] Deeksha Intensive. In my brief experience with you and Deeksha, grace has been so good to me. My chronic back pain is gone and my chakras feel completely balanced. I feel unconditional love and gratitude vibrating every moment. Thank you Amma and Bhagavan! And bless you dear brother Paul, for bringing Deeksha to Dallas. You have truly touched and changed my life. India is calling me, I’ll definitely keep in touch. In Love and Gratitude…
Paul’s reply: The Blessings of Deeksha; the wonderful gift from Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan are taking hold for you. In time, this is what all Deeksha recipients will experience. A healing of physical problems. A release of “self” known as the ego. This doesn’t mean that you will be egoless, just that it will no longer be in control and “running the show.” The ego is what creates the sense of “self” which convinces us that we are separate from Divine Presence. Of course, this is the veil, the Maya, the illusion that is talked about in religion, philosophy and quantum physics. It is also what creates our suffering. As we release the self from the control position, we are free to experience the Oneness. Hence, the Oneness Movement (OM). It is such a relief to no longer desire or need to control everything. We flow with life rather than trying to micro-manage it. Our suffering subsides into an experience of Love for All That Is. Grace and Bliss! It’s at this point that we truly begin to understand that we are not our bodies, our minds or even our thoughts. And we are free. Awakened. Enlightened (so light and happy… in a perpetual state of peace and joy).
I am honored and blessed to be able to serve Dallas, north Texas and humanity in this manner. It is through Deeksha and the Oneness Movement that I have finally found the best way for me to serve. Madhuri Dhulipala and I were the first in north Texas to be trained. Jane Ojeda (Dallas) followed in August. Right now, Maggie Brock (Dallas) and Jan Kirby (Azle, TX) are being trained in India. Others have indicated a sincere interest to do so in 2007. Perhaps you too will take this 21-Day Process in India as your path, your journey. Whatever you choose, it is perfect for you.
All Blessings be with you. Go in Peace. All is well. Namaste.

Paul, [One-Day Intensive] It was a great day — while sitting with my eyes closed after the 1st or 2nd giver of Deeksha, I thought “So, this is why Jesus went to India.” I mentioned this in class and you agreed. After the first rest period, I felt as though I had left my body and gone far away - no particular place, just felt a bit different when I woke up and realized I had really been gone.
I thought the group was great and it was easy to be there. I enjoyed the Homa and thought it was just a good day. I found I could not stay awake past 9:30 that night. Around 9:00 PM I told myself I could stay up late. By 9:30 I was in bed. I slept quite a bit on Sunday night as well. I just allowed my body to do what it needed as I figured I had a lot of processing going on.
When I got Deeksha last Tuesday - and you said I got a jolt - I agree, I did. You said you got feedback. What type of feedback?
Also, on Wednesday night of this week one of my cats got out without my seeing it get out the door and I didn’t notice until Thursday morning that he was gone. I have 3 and they are all over the place. But, I knew when I opened cat food Thursday AM that he was not in the house. I looked all morning for him, went home at noon - no cat. Left work early and went home - no cat. During the afternoon, I said a prayer to Bhagavan and asked that he return home in good health and safely. About an hour after I got home I was outside watering plants and saw him come from behind the garage - I went to him, but he raced past me to the door and I went to let him in. The other 2 cats did not smell him - he didn’t have leaves, grass or dirt on him. Just an unusual welcome back but I gave thanks and we are all happy again. Also, please sign me up for the next intensive. Thanks. Blessings…
Paul’s reply: Our last One-Day Deeksha Intensive was awesome. I’m glad you were an integral part of it. With three Deeksha Providers there giving everyone triple-Deeksha and then with the Homa too, well, good things were going to happen! I’ve received reports from others who were present that they too were very tired afterwards and also the next day. It’s just processing from all the energy work and it passes.
The Tuesday Deeksha was very powerful. I get immediate feedback when giving Deeksha. I get mental impressions, feelings and sometimes a flow of inner dialog as feedback from those receiving Deeksha. I also have communication from Bhagavan who always tells me when to stop and take my hands off.
I talk to Bhagavan every day. Nope, I’m not psychotic! But when I ask for things I usually get them right away. Glad you tried this. I’ve told many people to just talk to Bhagavan and/or Amma and to ask for what they need or want. It’s amazing how their needs and desires are quickly filled… but you have to first ask! I’m not at all surprised about your cat. BTW, I have you down for our next One-Day Intensive. Many Thanks for your thoughtful comments. Namaste.

Paul & Jan, What a wonderful evening it was last night. The grace and energy were so strong! [My significant other] said he got blitzed!
Paul’s reply: The energy levels are always increasing so this is not surprising. Glad you were both able to make it. Namaste.

Paul, Thank you for the lovely time on Saturday. I could feel your hands on my head between every Deeksha and afterwards and a very sweet, mellow energy. You really put a lot of work into our special day! Thank you.
[My friend] and I were in grace for a wonderful Thai dinner and breakfast at [a local restaurant], as well as our trip home, after the Mystic India movie.
We enjoyed it and we appreciate all the wonderful blessings! I can’t wait to hear about Sid’s journey. [Sid Holliday was trained in India during January 2007]. Love to you…
Paul’s reply: I’m really glad that you both got a lot out of your One-Day Deeksha Intensive. You drove a long way to get here and it really paid off for both of you. I too am waiting to hear from Sid. I’ll bet he has some wonderful stories to tell! Keep in touch. Namaste.

Paul, I too have felt extremely lethargic since the 24th. I have noticed an increase in awareness of “something” being in the room with me. I catch just glimpses of movement or a hint of light from the corner of my eye. I interpret this as an increased willingness of my conscious mind to see spiritual beings. (I keep hoping anyway). I also have received the gift of sudden entrances into a meditative, oneness feeling state at unexpected times, such as driving down Northwest Highway or watching television at home.
Big changes are happening in my own family life as you know, with my [relative] making his very rough transition. This is bringing up huge amounts of emotional work for everyone.
Paul’s reply: Lots of folks are experiencing heavy processing. Many report feeling tired, exhausted, depressed, stressed more than usual, angry, etc. Expect that it is possible that this can continue for you and for many throughout much of 2007. Of course, if you’ve already processed through “your stuff” then things will calm down for you. We are “letting go” of the old vibratory levels and experiences in favor of the new. Just go with the flow.
I know that some have reported being able to spontaneously see auras, angels and other spirits so it’s not too surprising that you’re starting to see them too. Just be “the watcher” and enjoy the experience. There’s nothing to do. Just be. Entering the meditative states sans effort is also an exciting experience for many. Just enjoy.
With regard to your relative, many are choosing to pass on now rather than to go through the change. Others are just older and it’s their time. It really doesn’t matter. They’re all OK. After June of 2012, everyone’s karma will have been neutralized so everyone gets the blessing of The Awakening, regardless if they’ve already passed on or if they’re still here. The whole universe is moving on… increasing in vibrational frequency and moving into the 5th dimension. This movement into The Golden Age (the Satya Yuga) is not just for some, but for everyone! Many blessings to you and your family at this very difficult time. Namaste.
