Dear Paul, My experience was interesting. I think I was able to let go of some garbage because I got really emotional. Plus, the next day I saw Amma Chi and got two blessings from her. I was really buzzing after that! I think the divine is still working on me and Sai Baba is preparing me for the trip to India. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the wonderful event. Namaste…
Paul’s reply: Thank you for your thoughtful comments. As we receive the Oneness Blessing, we often go through processing that allows us to “let go of some garbage” as you say. And we don’t always have to be fully conscious as to what that “garbage” is for it to work. It’s all OK. You’re doing just fine and I’m excited for you that you have chosen to go to India to help orphaned children. That’s just awesome! And Thank You for being a part of our lives and for being our blessing! Namaste.

Hi Paul, I can not thank you enough for inviting me to the Oneness Blessing last Friday. When we first walked in, I could tell who had already received Deeksha just by observing the beautiful glow on their faces. I was not sure what to expect. I have gone to visit with other healers in the past, but I have never felt what I felt that night. I was so relaxed with the music and focusing on healing. Shortly after I began to feel the energy through my head. At first I thought it could just be my wishful thinking but then I realized I could not control my own head. It felt like a big bag of sand that was being controlled by someone else. I guess that was the first part of my healing. I could feel the difference in the energies as different Deeksha givers prayed over me. I am so excited and relieved now. It seems I have been searching for this blessing for so long. I was exactly where I was supposed to be at this time in my life. Thank you so, so much Paul. I can’t wait to go back. I am leaving out of town tomorrow for two weeks. I hope to see you as soon as I return. God bless you for being the angel He sent me. Love and peace…
Paul’s reply: And Thank You for being our blessing… to be a part of our lives. We are always Honored and Blessed to be able to serve. Divine Presence was very obviously present for us all that night… as it is with each time we give the Oneness Blessing. Each of us Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) givers has our own unique being-ness which is a part of us giving the blessing to you. Some who are sensitive, like yourself, can discern those subtle differences. It, of course, is all good. It’s all OK. We are all delighted when people feel so moved and fulfilled when receiving the Oneness Blessing… so Thank You for your kindness and your thoughtful comments. I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon. Namaste.

Hi Paul, Thanks for the e-mail. I too was sorry that I didn’t get to connect with you but as you said, it was crowded. My experience at the event was wonderful. I experienced (difficult to put into words) my judgments creating the world that I perceive and also experienced the joy beyond these perceptions. It was wonderful. Since the event I have been extremely tired. I feel like I could sleep all day. I am assuming this is a result of the energy. [My significant other] is a man of few words but I know he too has been extremely tired since Saturday.
I put four more photos on the Deeksha board on Friday night. The board was pretty full so I put them on the edge. I didn’t want to disturb anyone for another board. If you need to move the photos, feel free.
I hope you are well. Looking forward to Buddha and Bhavani’s return as well as next weeks Deeksha. Namaste…
Paul’s reply: I’m happy that you had such a profound experience. Many of us have had the experience of being very tired for a while, myself included. It’s not uncommon when so much energy has been transferred. I know that you’ve been processing for quite a while and I am delighted that you have also experienced the joy of just being… of observing with no judgment and no attachment. It’s so freeing to be able to do this. As time goes on, it only gets better.
As you are very personally aware, we are having absolute miracles around our Healing Board. I am ready to put up another panel as the current ones are already overflowing with photographs and healing requests. It all just keeps growing and expanding as the word gets out at how effective our Deeksha Healing Board has been for both humans and animals alike.
We are all looking forward to Bhavani and Buddha’s return in the fall. The word is spreading fast and won’t it be wonderful if we can have double or triple the number of participants by the time of their return? That could happen since the Oneness Movement is growing in leaps and bounds, worldwide! I’ll see you this week for our normal Wednesday Oneness Movement event. Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comments. Namaste.

Thank you Paul, I enjoyed the evening very much. I wanted to stay but needed to get home to my babies (dogs) who are terrified of thunder storms. It was a lovely evening and I look forward to their return. Blessings, love and light…
Paul’s reply: It was so good to see you again. It’s been a while… and I’m so glad that you were able to be a part of this very special evening with Divine Presence. I know how little dogs are since I have one myself so I fully understand. It’s all OK. No worries! I hope we’ll see you again soon. Namaste.

Dear Paul, Wow! What a night! The feeling of Divine Love and Blessings was and still is so powerful for me. I went to sleep and woke up knowing that I had indeed been graced with a very special event. It is the miracle of Presence with us all. I really give thanks to Amma -Bhagavan and to your very special friends Bhavani and Buddha (I love them) and TO YOU for hosting such a blessed event. I hope I will return from India in September and be able to come again to your gatherings. In light and love…
Paul’s reply: Yup! It was all just awesome… both for the participants and for all of us Oneness Blessing facilitators. Bhavani and Buddha are very special to me, and now about 50 people in Dallas know why. They are just incredible people with such loving hearts. You are always welcome to come and participate. You are a wonderful addition to the Oneness Movement. Many Thanks for your participation. Namaste.

Hi Paul, Thank you for an awesome evening. I didn’t have the life changing experience you did but that’s okay… I feel a lot of peace today. It was also an honor to meet Bhavani and Buddha. I do have one question… I have come to believe that God is in us and that we are one with Him… as apposed to striving to attain Him. I felt last night that he was out there again sending down a blessing. Maybe there is a way of thinking of the Deeksha that explains it to be the same. I am a new student in Truth teaching and I guess I just want it all figured out.
Thank you for your time, Paul. I enjoyed meeting you and will attend many more Deekshas. Namaste…
Paul’s reply: Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments. Your question is actually the basis for the Oneness Movement through the practice of receiving Deeksha (the Oneness Blessing).
It is hard for many to fathom that you don’t have to proactively “do something” to re-connect with Divine Presence in oneness (also known as God-realization). So many of our ancient (and even our current) spiritual disciplines dictate devotion, meditation, prayer, and other various methods and techniques that must be “religiously” practiced to attempt to attain “oneness” through “enlightenment” (our reconnection with God). While many of these disciplines allow us to “glimpse” that desired reality, our experience of it is usually very short lived. If attained at all, the enlightenment experience is fleeting and not permanent. That is what makes the Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) unique. The Oneness Blessing creates a permanent shift into oneness (God-realization). You don’t have to “do” anything. Just receive Deeksha passively. It is a form of intelligence that punches a hole in the wall of the mind to let the Light shine through… permanently!
Even atheists with no spiritual background have attained God-realization through the Oneness Blessing… and sometimes with only receiving the Oneness Blessing on a single occasion! This seems contradictory or even outrageous to many, but it’s true. Especially if they have been taught that you have to work hard, devote yourself, sacrifice your time and resources to attain this lofty goal of enlightenment. In actuality, it has nothing to do with who or what you’ve studied, meditated over or prayed for. It has nothing to do with your prior actions in life, good or bad. It’s not about deservability or your lack of it. It’s simply a benediction… an invocation of Divine Grace which is a gift… it is given to you by those who have been trained at the 21-Day Process in India and who are dedicated to do so. Your belief is not required. Your devotion is not required. This is not a new religion. It is a permanent change in your brain function away from a primary concept of dualism… the “me” and the “not me” into an ongoing and permanent realization of Oneness with Divine Presence, whoever or whatever that means to you. It could be Jesus or Buddha or Mohammad or Krishna… Kalki or Maitreya… or Divine Energy, Cosmic Intelligence… or even “He who has no name…” whatever you perceive Divine Presence to be. It doesn’t matter. It’s all ‘One” anyway. Divine Presence is known by many names in many cultures… So the bottom line is that there is no striving required to attain true God-realization (Oneness). It is simply a blessing. One need only ask to receive. No one is ever refused or shunned. “The One” is all inclusive. Namaste.

Dear Paul, I am bubbling over in love and joy this evening and am sending it all to you, Buddha and Bhavani. Thank you for an exquisite evening. Drunk on Deeksha!
Paul’s reply: Here, here! Ditto! P.S. – Be careful driving home!
