Hi Paul, On Friday night, I was thrilled to hear your comment “We have seven people here to give you Deeksha [Oneness Blessing = OB]… you’re gonna get blasted!”  Bring it on!  Every time I receive Deeksha, I feel powerful energy flowing through the body.

There are a number of things I do during the course of a day that facilitate the process of enlightenment.  Following the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, I do an advanced form of meditation called Kriya, energization exercises, Maha Mudra, Navi Kriya, chanting, yoga postures, Hong Sau…  I have read many spiritual books, the latest of which is called “The Eye of the I” by Dr. David Hawkins. People who recommended it said it in this way:  you HAVE to read this book.  When I saw it on the shelf at Barnes & Noble, energy started flowing upward through my body like a rushing river, which is inner confirmation that it supports life, love, and my path in life.

Well it has been the most mind-bending, mind-blowing thing I’ve ever read.  I keep reading it over and over.  One thing that struck me was this: to avoid developing a spiritual ego, rather than refer to it as the path to achieve enlightenment, it is preferable to say we are removing the blocks to unconditional love.  The ego is not an enemy that needs to be vanquished, but a patient that needs to be healed.  It also says that when the ego is about to be dismantled, in a last-ditch effort to ‘survive,’ it greatly increases in intensity.  That’s where I am right now.  It’s very difficult to deal with that.  This, too, shall pass.

It feels like every day I experience major shifts… Deeksha and all the things I’m involved in are helping along this path.  Might I add that it is not my path to just read, but to become what I have read about and studied.  Thank you very much for the opportunity to receive Deeksha [Oneness Blessing] energy. Hare Aum Tat Sat (victory to God)…

Paul’s reply:  I am glad that you are happy with your Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) experiences.  Like many, you are involved with a multiplicity of techniques to advance yourself spiritually.  It can’t hurt.  And I too have read the David R. Hawkins books and have also found them to be important to my own personal understanding about human resonant frequency (energy) and how that all ties in to our spiritual nature as well as our physical nature.  I will also say that the Oneness Blessing is not a technique or something that has to be studied to receive benefit from it.  It is not a new religion or cult.  It requires no meditation or prayer to make the “changes” happen for you.  It is an experience of receiving Divine Grace and Bliss.  For a few, this can happen with receiving a single OB, although for most it happens over time, but it does happen.  This is why many choose to receive their OB on a regular or semi-regular basis… because their Awakening Into Oneness through the “flowering of the heart” all happens faster.  In all matters of spiritual growth, we have to follow our own hearts (rather than our heads) and do what we feel is correct and appropriate for us individually.  It’s all OK and it’s all perfect.  You are doing just great and I really appreciate your thoughtful comments.  Keep receiving your OB and you will find that spiritual “place” much faster.  Namaste.

Dear Paul, It was a wonderful surprise to arrive at the meeting and find out we were included in giving the Oneness Blessing!  That is the largest group I have given Deeksha to and it was a such a rush of peaceful bliss and energy!  I love Bhavani’s and Buddha’s aura and presence.  How exciting to know they are returning in the fall.  I will be sure to pass the invitation on to my friends that are not on your mailing list.

As you know, [my significant other] and I have been working in another healing/energy modality lately, but after Friday’s event, I realized how much I have missed flowing with the Oneness Blessing. I would very much like to join you next Wednesday for the regular meeting.  It was great to see you, too!  Hopefully we can do more catching-up on Wednesday!  Blessings to you!

Paul’s reply:  It was so good to see you both on Friday for this very special event.  And yes, Bhavani and Buddha will be returning sometime this fall (we’re thinking October).  It will be great to have them back and we’ll have another special event for them.  This was their first OB trip to Texas and they loved the energy here in Dallas so much that they have decided to come back!  The fact that we had seven OB facilitators there at one time was just awesome!  Of course, the energy levels were off-the-charts!

I’m really looking forward to seeing you again this Wednesday for our regular group Oneness Blessing event.  Everything is speeding up and changing so quickly now.  There are so many good and exciting things coming to the surface… and lots of folks are checking these all out for themselves.  It’s all good.  See you Wednesday!  Namaste.

Greetings to you Paul, …As for sending my experience with the One Blessing - I don’t think anyone would believe it!  Also, I asked if I should be one of the 3,000 [from the U.S.] that should attend the Oneness University and lean how to give the One Blessing.  I was told that I am already giving it!  Every time I channel the healing energy, I am also channeling the Blessing.  Gee, I am glad I asked!  Take care.

[Then, in a second e-mail from the same person]

Hello Paul! …I don’t know if you received my last email that explained I am giving the Oneness Blessing with the healing.  What was further explained to me was God’s energy=love=healing=Blessing. Does this make sense to you? It makes perfect sense to me and now I repeat the Oneness Blessing as part of the healing.

I have a few questions for you:  Do you know if photos were taken at the Friday Deeksha Blessing?  Can I post the photo on my website along with my experience?  Can I link your Deeksha-Dallas website to mine?  Thank you!

Paul’s reply:  First of all, I would love it if you would share your actual experience with me.  Of course, it will be believable as miracles surround this process.  We are no stranger to miracles and strange occurrences.  So please do share what happened with you.

Secondly, with regard to your healing work, we provide two kinds of the Oneness Blessing (Deeksha).  All I can convey to you about this is what we have been taught both in India and later here in our advanced training, etc.  One type of OB (mukti) for “The Awakening into Oneness through the flowering of the heart” and another one (vara) for the healing of physical, mental, relationship and financial concerns.  While there are many valid spiritual forms of healing/energy work out there, the only place you can receive the ability to give the two specific types we give is from the 21-Day Process at the Oneness University in the Golden City, India.  I have no doubt that you are doing quite valid and remarkable healing work, but there are many ways to accomplish this.  I myself use six different techniques when I do my healing work, both remotely and in person.  The practice of invoking Divine Presence (love=compassion=unconditional acceptance) into your healing work has obvious benefits as does the fact that you are blessing them as well.  It’s all good.

With regard to your last questions, yes… photos were taken for me.  I have not yet had a chance to go through them but will soon.  It may be possible for you to use one for your website but the one chosen can only be of the OB facilitators or the back of the participants heads, etc.  We do not post photographs of attendees without their prior approval.  As far as the link goes, sure.  I’m happy to accept your offer of a link.  Many thanks!  Namaste.

Paul, I would first like to thank you for the opportunity to receive Deeksha [Oneness Blessing = OB] and for making this event possible.  Going to the event I felt joyous and it grew standing in line and during the event.  The joy started long before entering the room.  I have felt this joy ever since.  I will say that Saturday and Sunday the joy grew to the extent that I wasn’t sure I could be contained in a room.  (I had a class Sunday afternoon) and I wasn’t sure I could fit me and all the joy into the room for the class.  I did — just interesting.  The event was just right.  The music was wonderful and the message was wonderful and the whole evening was great.  I am so glad that they are coming back.  Could they move here?

A few things that happened since then [Friday night]:  I went to the Outback for dinner Sunday evening after class.  I was seated and a waiter came flying across the room and put 3 quarters on my table and explained that the last time I was in he shortchanged me 62 cents the last time I was there (probably 3 months prior).  I asked if he was certain it was me as I didn’t realize he had done that and he assured me it was mine.

I went for a walk when I got home and a child and his mother were walking on the other side of the street and he called out “Good Morning” when I passed and I said “Good Afternoon” and he said  “Good Night” as they moved on.  The boy was probably 4.

Some other things have happened but probably the most important one is that I came to realize we do not need a fence along the border.  It is only an illusion of security and not real.  We do not need security, only more love.  If we welcome these people with open arms there will be plenty for all.  Thank you again…

Paul’s reply:  Thanks for your thoughtful comments.  Many have reported on the energy level, even as they entered the Spiritual Fitness Center.  And I’m happy that you had such a wonderful experience.  As far as Bhavani and Buddha go, I doubt they will give up their wonderful home overlooking the ocean in New Zealand to move here, but you never know!?!

As far as the unusual happenings go, well… that’s not unusual.  I call them a “cosmic giggle!”  I also agree with you on the fence thing… As the old group, The Beatles so aptly phrased it… “All You Need Is Love!”  Have no doubt… regardless of appearances from time-to-time, the world is waking up relatively quickly now.  Just observe without judgments.  It’s all OK.  Namaste.
