“My wise soul and my pure heart
patronise only one
divine enterprise,
and that enterprise
is God’s satisfaction-enterprise.” Sri Chinmoy

Ok, since i’m on a roll here, i,ll write about another divine enterprise i worked in. The now defunct Baked Potato Cafe in Melbourne.

Back in the early days of my disciple hood when i was a bit of a drifter in the outer world, i ended up back in Victoria working in a lumber yard for a while. I quit that and moved into a disciple mate’s house in Melbourne. I had a new job lined up and the day i was supposed to start work, i got this over powering feeling to stay in bed- can you believe it? So i did listen to my inner voice and stay in bed that morning and low and behold a few hours later Sunirmalya ran and said he had sacked a guy and had a job for me. It pays to listen to your inner voice!

So began my year long career in Sunirmalya’s Baked Potato Cafe.

Ex- centre “spark plug” Sunirmalya set up a Baked Potato cafe in Richmond, Melbourne, just around the corner from the centre. Every day we would trek over to Richmond to begin out day with food preparation. It was interesting having a job were everyone you knew in Melbourne came to you. Though the course of the year so many long lost friends drifted through the door of the spud cafe. I remember some old friends who came in for a spud and were bitterly disappointed that i had joined the “Hari Krishnas” and not the communist party…ha ha. Some of my acquaintances were hardened communists.

The cafe food was great, i still remember the mushroom and lentil filling. I quickly got used to the daily formula food prep.

Cafe work is really not my forte and we certainly were not there for the money, but to spend a year in a little universe with my spiritual brothers making and selling great food, in a great suburb was kinda fun in a way.

Sunirmalya rented a medium sized mansion in the richest suburb in Melbourne, Toorak and six of us rented rooms there. Sunirmalya was a real people person and he would always order pizza after Sunday and Wednesday night meditation and us boys would sit around eating pizza and watching videos as a post meditation anti-climax- not a very spiritual thing to do, but it was certainly good for centre camaraderie. The centre leader never ever would join us. I remember Sunirmalya saying to me that he was not one of the boys. I also remember the centre leader telling another centre leader that Sunirmalya riled him. Sunirmalya was independent and great for centre oneness, but pride and insecurity would not allow the centre leader to be usurped from his position of authority. It was kind of strange that the only person in the centre who would,nt  join us was the centre leader. Pride really does ruin everything.

It was interesting to rent a mansion and live in the richest suburb in Australia for a year, it is peaceful in rich suburbs but sooo full of pretense. The tram ride home from work late at night was almost like a meditation in itself, riding home through the glitzy suburbs.

There was a great energy at  the shop, you could say a divine energy when i think back about it. It was almost like we were a little oneness family for the period of a year. After a while the regular customers become like family too, like an extended family.

Aparajita’s Oneness Fountain Heart restaurant  in Boston and Sunirmalya’s Baked Potato Cafe on Melbourne were my two divine enterprise experiences for this incarnation. For some inexplicable reason, i know not why but the light and the divine spark of both places left a little imprint on my soul which i will take with me to the grave. There is something quite unique about working in a divine enterprise, as anyone who has worked in one will testify. It is a completely different experience to working just for cash. For the last seven years i have sold my soul to oil rigs and minesites for the paycheck. Believe me, i understand fully why Guru wanted his disciples to stick to divine enterprises. The divine spark pays great dividends.

This aphorism sums it up perfectly.

“Human life is a clever compromise and reluctant sacrifice.

Divine life is a prosperous enterprise and glorious sunrise” Sri Chinmoy

Way back in the early years in the centre, i was at a Pizza Hut one evening with a few of the Canberra boys when out of the blue our centre leader said to me “Eamon you should go live in America for a while”. It hit me like a sledge hammer! It was like someone from above was speaking through him. It was just what i needed as i was totally lost at the time. So that April i packed my bags, got a small bank loan and took off for celebrations.

Sitting in Progress Promise (the hall above a garage Guru used for functions in Queens) one night, i bumped into Aparajita a Boston disciple. He said he had work going at his new Boston restaurant, The Oneness Fountain Heart, so i jumped at it and so started a short but fulfilling chapter in my life.

Life was ideal in Boston, in hind-site, Guru picked a good place for me. The people are normal in Boston-as for New Yorkers, its a god damn freak show. I used to walk down the street in Jamaica after functions just to look at the black people. It was better than the circus! Every black person had a different hair do, and totally different clothes. Black people have life energy.Australians are sooo boring.

Everything in Boston was good. The centre was great, no deluded politics or egos (blah blah) like Australia. The city is nice. MIT was just around the corner from Aparajita’s house so i used to pop over to do track work. The restaurant was great place to work with a great crew, although that kind of work is not my forte. We used to work five and a half days a week if i remember right, and at the end of every shift we would sing a song Guru wrote for the restaurant, it was a sweet and divine ending to every shift. Every weekend we would drive to New York to see Guru.

I used to say to myself , if there was a contest for the nicest guy in America, Aparajita would win it (there’s some serious flattery going on here folks).

American life is good. The people are different depending on where you go. There are crazy people in New York, but Bostonians are calm and orderly. The one thing i love about New York, is that New York will accept you no matter who or what you are, i love that kind of acceptance.

I have fond memories of Boston and its nice people and I’m glad who ever it was who called me to go there did so. It was a short but nice chapter in my life.

“America succeeds because America likes to proceed. America proceeds because America consciously and devotedly invokes God’s Compassion-Eye to precede”. Sri Chinmoy

I’m glad i lived in America for a short while.

I pulled this one off Facebook because it has direct parallels to messages Guru was putting out.

Guru said that planet needed a new consciousness, he also said that planet Earth had lost its heart and had gone wild! One of his later new years messages was “the final and urgent warning”. There is a growing global surge of people aware that something big is on the horizon.

I’m not to sure who St.Germaine is but this is an interesting read.

I Am Beloved Master Teacher Saint Germain, and I come today with a
message of Awakening. This is an important time on earth, for She is in
her final stages of labor… She is getting ready to “push,” and with Her
pushing will come the death of the old world and the birth of the new
World. We wish for You to look upon what is happening in this way, for
perhaps it will not seem so violent if You do. Giving birth to new life
can be painful, in fact, it is what You on earth expect. You do not
believe that giving birth can be easy, yet We assure You, it can be…
and there was a time many centuries ago when it was, however, those
days are no more and You all hold the belief that birth must come with
great pain. It is for this reason You are experiencing this transition
into the Higher Dimensions with such physical pain in Your own bodies.
There is always another way, and letting go of what no longer serves
You does not need to be painful. However, You do not believe that
things can be easy. You hold fast to Your belief that life is hard.
Truly, it is Your belief in suffering that carries You on Your journey
here on earth.

We come now with A Message, and it is that each and every one of You
are a midwife to the birth of The New World. You say “how?” “ How can
we do anything?” We have told You this for many hundreds of years, and
We come to You now with the same message today… LOVE YOUR SELF… LOOK
WITHIN YOUR SELF AND HEAL YOUR SELF. WHEN YOU DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE~
YOUR VIBRATION WILL SHIFT AND RISE TO A HIGHER STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
WHEN YOU RAISE YOUR OWN PERSONAL VIBRATION, YOU RAISE THE VIBRATION OF
THE WHOLE ~~AND THIS INCLUDES MOTHER EARTH, BELOVED LADY GAIA!

The time of critical mass is drawing close, Dear Ones, and while it
would seem that You are to put Your focus and attention on the world
and all of its problems, that is NOT WHAT YOU ARE TO DO. We know that
this, in and of itself, will cause some of You to shudder and question
the validity of this message. But, if You truly understand the world
You are living in and the power You have, You will KNOW this is TRUTH.
The world You are seeing with Your eyes is not real. It is illusion!!!
YOU MUST GET THIS SOON, Dear Ones, the time is critical for this lesson
to be learned. The world You see is a projection of Your own mind, and
the thoughts You think are what You SEE in Your world. The POWER YOU
POSSESS IS IN YOUR MIND. The war You are fighting is not of the
physical, it is not over material possessions or of an earthly nature…
the war is in YOUR MIND. Your mind is the battlefield and Your emotions
are the ammunition!! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS. This message is vital for
tipping the scales in the favor of LOVE and LIGHT.

You are being attacked at a mental level, by thoughts and images
projected at You as mind bombs of FEAR. Your mind and Your emotions are
what is at stake here, and they are using Your own thoughts and
emotions as ammunition to destroy You. Your world will be born anew,
and She will exist for You on another plane of Higher Consciousness,
but unless YOU PERSONALLY RAISE YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS TO MEET HER,
YOU WILL BE LEFT HERE. This is not to scare You, this is to let You
know that You are not fighting against BP. You are not fighting to save
the Gulf. THAT IS NOT WHERE YOU SHOULD FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION Beloved
Ones…that is the distraction they want You to focus on! Your focus of
attention should ALWAYS BE ON YOUR HEART… YOUR POWER IS IN YOUR HEART.
Your ‘bombs’ are of LOVE… Your holy land is in Your own mind. You must
protect Your minds from the images and thoughts being thrown at You
from every level and angle. We are here to help You, and in order for
You to know what You are to do, You must know what You are ‘fighting
for’ and what Your ‘ammo’ is. You are fighting for the freedom to think
and use Your mind as You wish, and You are fighting with a Higher
Vibrational Energy than they are, LOVE.

Because the world You see is just a reflection of Your mind and the
collective mind, to change what You see, You MUST CHANGE YOUR MIND.
This requires You to use Your power to say no to all that is not in
alignment with Your HIGHER SELF, Your GOD Self, Your HEART. You do not
have to do as You are told. You are more powerful than You know, but
You will not find Your power until You start to exert some Divine Will
in Your decision making. If it does not FEEL GOOD, at the level of the
Heart and Soul, DO NOT DO IT! This is the beginning. You must
understand You have a choice. You must understand that You have the
power to experience Your world as You want to see it. You have all been
brainwashed into believing that You have no power. YOU HAVE ALL OF THE
POWER!

This is not a message that We have come with before. We are raising the
intensity of Our Message to match the intensity that is being raised
from the other side. While it is True, in the Ultimate Reality, there
is no “other” side, for in a state of Unity Consciousness duality no
longer exists, We are speaking to You at the level You are currently
on, unless You have transcended the illusion of duality. In Your 3D
reality, where “good and bad” still exists in the mind, there are some
who are desperate for the control of Your mind, emotion, and life
force. And those who believe in this duality are the most vulnerable to
their control and domination. These unconscious controllers are absent
of Love, and are fueled by all of the negative emotions fed to them by
the mass mind. We want You to understand that You are continually
fuelling them by fearing them. These people are in power because You
have given them power over You, and have since decided You have no way
out of this hell on earth.

YOU DO!! Your Mind is Your way out. Your Heart is the Pathway to The
Higher Realms of Love and Joy, Compassion and Beauty. If You make the
decision to focus on Your own Heart and set Your intention to align
Your mind with the Mind of Christ, You will see that You are helped
immediately.

Dear Ones, You have free will!! We cannot intervene where We are not
requested, and We cannot do for You what You must learn to do for
Yourselves. THAT IS YOUR LESSON here… We will help and assist in all
ways possible, but cannot interfere with Your soul’s lesson. You are
not calling out to Us nearly as often or as much as We would like. We
cannot come in until We are requested, and You must give up any
thoughts about Us being “bothered” by Your unqualified requests. There
is no such thing at this point in time.

Many times We have used this analogy, but it is simple and it cannot be
more simple so that everyone can understand. Imagine You are looking in
the mirror. You see a reflection of Your self in the mirror. The
reflection shows a pimple on Your face. Now, upon seeing this pimple,
do You reach to the mirror and try to pick at it? No. You address the
sore where it exists~~ on Your face! The reflection is simply showing
You what is coming from within You. The same is true for the world You
live in and see around You. Some things are completely personal to You,
because they are an animated expression or reflection of Your own mind,
or, there is something traumatic and catastrophic that is happening on
a global scale, such as the Gulf oil spill. You may say, “ I didn’t
create that! I didn’t have any such thoughts about the gulf or oil
spills before that happened.” The truth of the matter, is that the
collective mind is the “catch all” for all the negative thoughts and
emotions You send out… and if the mass mind is collectively negative
about being powerless to the oil tycoons, then Yes! You did help to
manifest this disaster! The first step to healing is taking
responsibility for what You have contributed, whether that is
constantly complaining every time You fill Your gas tank, or whether
You have had to sacrifice some recreation because gas prices have made
You poor. All of it expands in Your reality the more You focus on the
illusion. Energy flows where attention goes. This is a simple enough
law to understand and live by isn’t it? Yes, it requires discipline of
the mind and an earnest desire to live a life that You have co-created
with Source Energy… but, Dear Ones, this is Your Power. While You must
address the effect, You must not put all of Your attention and focus
there. Cleaning up the Gulf is much much different than focusing more
damaging amounts of negative energy back into the collective mind, by
hating BP and those focused on destroying the earth. You think You are
being pro-active for change by hating what is in front of You… but The
Law of Attraction is here to teach You that what You hate or send
energy to, no matter what the vibration, You are calling for in Your
experience. You are not helping Beloved Gaia by sending hateful
thoughts and emotions to the people You feel are the villains! You are
not victims, Dear Children, You are the co-creators!! As soon as You
realize this, You will have made a tremendous shift in Your
consciousness. You must control Your thoughts and emotions!

The Law of Attraction was not introduced into Your thought stream so
that You could use it to manifest more material possessions and fulfill
Your greedy and selfish ways. The Law of Attraction was introduced into
Your mental streams of consciousness so You could harness the power of
it to change Your world and use it, not for personal gain, but for
GLOBAL ABUNDANCE and ASCENSION. Materialism is what the old program
would want You to use it for. Your Higher Self has a completely
different agenda for the use of The Law of Attraction. If Like attracts
Like, through the power of intention, thought, and positive emotion,
how can You apply this Law to undo what You have done?? What could You
intend to attract that would benefit the world and GAIA, as her
midwives??? This is Your tool for helping her birth the new world, and
You are using it to Your own selfish gain. Wake Up Dear people of earth
and realize You are NOT HUMAN BEINGS… You will never know Who You Are
if You continually look to the flesh as proof of Your reality and
identity.

What and Who You are ANIMATES the flesh. Knowing this will save You.
You must begin to loosen Your grip on the fear of death. This is the
power they hold over You. You are all afraid to die, because You do not
know that death is not real. They know that if You knew You were not
Your body, then You would become empowered! They hold this over You,
and use it over and over and over, plaguing Your mind with fearful
thoughts, that manifest themselves as ‘real’ diseases in the body. Your
power is Your own, and You have handed over all of it to those who wish
to control You. THE TIME IS NOW, and the time has come for ALL OF YOU
to remember Who You Are and where You REALLY came from. For, We assure
You, when You Awaken to the TRUTH of Your Beingness, they have NO POWER
over You whatsoever!

Your mind is Your most precious and valuable asset, and YOU OWN THAT,
but You have allowed the devil to set up camp there. It is time to take
back what is rightfully Yours. It is time to evict the demons from Your
mind, and ask on bent knee for the Holy Spirit to enter Your mind and
set You free.

We are waiting, but We cannot assist You in Your salvation until You
desire for Your mind to be released from the clutches of fear and
illusion.

Right now, if You dare, get down on Your knees and ask for Us, The Ascended Masters and Beings of Light, to release Your mind from its
bindings to this illusory world, to set Your heart free from the
emotions of depression and sadness, guilt and fear. We are waiting to
assist You. It takes but one moment of sincere and genuine asking, from
the heart, to awaken the Divine Seedling within the dark shell and have
it crack open and begin to climb and grow up towards the sunlight. The
Real Self is waiting to be cracked open… Unawake, You are the dark
shell, and buried deep within Your Heart, there is a Seed, which
carries the True Knowing of Your Divine Essence. It is just waiting to
break open to become a Divine Flower in The Garden of God’s Love. We
will water You and tend to Your new innocence and Beingness… You must
trust in something Greater Than Your self, and Real-Eyes that the
something Greater is within YOU…aching to be born.

You are powerful beyond measure, and it has been a long time since You
have known this… some of You are just waking up to the idea that You
are not just flesh and bone, but something more. The something more is
what You need to direct all of Your attention to right now. You must go
within, You must meditate daily, and focus on choosing Love for
Yourself and others. Every time You make a choice that does not honor
You, You are also not honoring the Whole. Choose wisely.

Dear Children of planet earth, You must wake up. The time is now. Your
mind is what You must protect. Your Heart is where You must go when You
feel insecure or afraid. Your safety lies within the sanctuary of Your
Heart. Turn off Your televisions. Stop reading news that does not make
You feel good. They cannot control You if You do not use the mediums
THEY use to do so. Demand Your internet be open for freedom of
expression and speech! Do not focus on them shutting it down… THINK!
Use the Law of Attraction. ALWAYS PUT YOUR ATTENTION ON THE POSITIVE
OPPOSITE. What is it that You want?? Focus on that, not on the negative
opposite.

You have the power, but You must be wise in how You use it. You do not
want to become like that which is hostile and negative, for You will be
doing what they want You to do. They want Your mind. THIS YOU MUST
KNOW. They want to do all they can to keep You in a constant state of
fear… HOW CAN YOU KEEP YOURSELF POSITIVE?? Do not let them into Your
mind! If You pray and meditate and focus on Love and Heaven on earth,
and Mother Gaia Ascending… You will attract that and experience that…
that is the Ultimate purpose of The Law of Attraction.

We leave You today with tremendous Blessings of Love, and an open door
to The Mind of Christ. We cannot make You enter, but We can invite You
in to Our Divine Mind, where You will always be safe.

Your thoughts are Your weapons Dear Children, what kind of bombs do You
wish to drop? Love bombs or fear bombs? And are You willing to take
responsibility for where You are dropping them? You create or destroy
Your earth with Your mind, as She is of the mind… what do You wish to
see? Who do You wish to Be?

With Thoughts of Heaven to fill Your Mind,
I AM Saint Germain and We Are Your Ascended Masters

No….this is not a Muslim who got carried away!

I have never had any interest in phychology,  i always thought it was intellectual goobledegoop, but the stuff i keep dragging up on Wiki is amazing as it totally sums up in a rational way why people do the things they do. Especially disciples and ex-disciples. This post is about ex-disciples and denial.

The final bus stop on the route to ignorance is surely denial. Sigmund Freud describes denial as a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. Anna Freud who first took the subject seriously, classifies denial as a mechanism of an immature mind.

Other interesting subjects i have dug up that are related; Falsifiablity- which is the logical possiblity that an assertion can be shown false by an observation. Hmmmmmmmm interesting!

How about self-deception. Self-deception is the process of denying away the relevance or importance of opposing evidence. Self-deception involves convincing oneself of a lack of truth so that one does not reveal any self knowledge of the deception.

Once in a blue moon i drop over at the ex-disciple forum for a peek. The forces that swim around there are the forces of denial, self deception and falsifiablity. The denial over on that site can only be described as hyper. They indulge in complete spiritual denial. The denial of spiritual masters, denial of the spiritual realm, denial of spiritual experiences, denial of the benefits of meditation and finally the grand daddy of all denials- denial of the inner world!

By sheer observation from the start of Sri Chinmoys life to the finish, one sees no indication what so ever of falsifications that the ex-disciple forum promulgates. Thats why i don’t buy the propogander they put forward. His life from start to finish was consistent i found. The clincher is his consciousness, by sheer spiritual observation one can see he maintained from start to finish his “Transcendental Consciousness”. Observation alone is enough for me. At the same time, the energy over at the ex-d forum is indescribably foul and totally negative. Logic alone is enough to deduct from the negative energy on that site, that the allegations that they trumpet are mere self indulgent denialisms.

Self propagander is an art the ex-disciple forum have perfected. Self-propagander is the act of telling one’s self (or a group telling them selves)  soemthing they consider to be true, or to convince themselves to be true, with the unfortunate repercussion of their having no doubts. Because of the ignorance they create, they will go over every aspect of their side of the argument to prove to themselves that they are right, and refuse to look at any alternatives. Self-propagander is a form of self-deception!

The psychological process of utilizing self-propagander can negatively influence values and beliefs and subsequent perceptions and judgements, thus becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Pretty wild hey! Thats what the small and ultra negative Sri Chinmoy ex-disciple forum are expert at, self-propagander.

So why all the psychology you ask? When you can solidify intellectually ignorance, when you can bring it down to its basic form and rationalize it, then you can confront it and cut it to pieces.

Its nice to be able to step back once in a while and take a purely psychological look at the forces that operate in and out of the Sri Chinmoy centre.

As always i will let Ckg have the last word…..

Self-denial is not and cannot be

The cure for selfishness,

For self-denial in itself

Is unconscious, if not pretentious,

Selfishness.

Self-denial is not life’s satisfaction.

Self-acceptance for self-transcendence

Is the answer,

The only answer. Ckg

And……..

Be not a victim

Of your heart’s self-denial

And your mind’s self-betrayal. Ckg

…………………..Pretentious selfishness…………that pretty much sums it up hey!

Love,

Eamon

Can the Guru help the aspirant even after the Guru has left the body?

Mrityunjayi (Mrs. Margarita Rodriguez)

Now there are some Gurus who are very sincere and dedicated, but at the same time, they are not fully realised. What they do sometimes, is this: when they leave the body, they feel that their disciples who are still on earth need a particular kind of help in their quest for self-realisation or God-realisation. If the Guru has no jealousy (a truly God-realised person has no jealousy), he will come to his disciples in a dream and say, “Go to that particular Guru and become his disciple. I have played my part. But you need further help and I know that so-and-so is a sincere person. He will help you in your God-realisation.” But a mean and possessive Guru would say, “Wait my son, until I come back again to earth. I shall recognise you and you will recognise me. Don’t go to any other Guru. You stay alone.”

As I have said, there are some Gurus who, after having left the body, advise their disciples in this very incarnation to go to another Guru who is still on earth, who can teach them how they can realise God. They are undoubtedly noble and wise Gurus.

But if the original Guru made a promise to you, no matter where he lives, after leaving the earth, he has to be within you and with you to help you, even if you stay on earth for another forty or fifty years. In this case, it is just like having two rooms. Here is one room (life) and there is another room (death). Ordinary people cannot open the door. So when the Guru opens the door, he sees you, and when he goes back to his own room, he still has free access to this door. So once the Guru has made a promise, he is bound to keep it. He will not leave you until he has given you full realisation and has brought you to God….. Sri Chinmoy

I have to say i am impressed by the continuing concern shown by Guru since he has left the body. Most weeks he shows up to my meditation in Darwin, just last week i saw him at the end of my meditation, he came down and put his hands on my head and gave me one of his traditional style head blessings. Sometimes i feel a powerful presence above me before meditation, sometimes i get a premonition that meditation is going to be awesome and it is.

Some of my medium/clairvoyant friends came to town last weekend and i held a meditation. It was a real thrill. These girls are very talented and can see in the inner world. They said Guru was already in the room before we had even started meditating. It was a great med and as usual, we sat around after the med discussing our experiences. The visions they had were amazing, each person’s experience was totally different. I could see Guru standing in his dhoti behind the Transcendental and at the end of the med his form went really big and he put his hands on my shoulders, it was a really nice touch.

This never ever happened in the centre. Not once did we discuss our visions or experiences after meditation. To meditate with a really talented medium/ clairvoyant on the Transcendental is something else. My friend Dinah said i find i find it extremely difficult living on the physical plane, and she was right.

A senior San Fransisco disciple told me that he was in Guru’s house when Guru said he would withdraw from the cosmic game when he left the body. Guru must be hanging around before he pulls the plug for the final time.

Getting direct messages from Guru from the other side is mind blowing. Getting first hand juicy stories of centre politics is also awesome. No disciple i meditated with could ever pull the stuff my friend Dinah pulls from the inner world. I was stuck with unfortunate pride deluded centre leaders and barely spiritual disciples.

Not so long ago one Wednesday night i got angry with Dinah and decide to skip a meditation, as she is sometimes unreliable. Guru got angry with me via the Transcendental and told me verbally to go to meditation(i could actually hear him talking) with Dinah as it would give me a lift. So Ckg is quite happy for me to meditate with my medium/clairvoyant friends.

CKG is still alive and kicking on the Earth plane. I have first hand experience.
