Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Namaste All, All of your experiences and talks with Amma are just so WONDERFUL! I love every word! I hope all of you continue to keep posting them. I could only dream of having such a conversation with Amma. I know this sound crazy to all of you but Amma makes me a little nervous (OK a lot nervous), like when I am going up for darshan, but when I am actually there with her in her lap it all goes away. I think I am just always afraid to do something bad and Amma will yell at me! LOL I am still afraid and I am not even around her! I just want to do what is right. I want to be a "good kid" lol It hard to explain, I guess. On a serious note I think I kind of fear her or God. Perhaps it stems from Christianity? I just feel like if I do something wrong, I will be punished, and I know that Amma would not do this, so why do I feel this way? Perhaps its goes deeper. Not sure. I'm just glad I could get out "Amma mantra" so she could understand me! LOL I remember Erica saying she could barely get it out, I was afraid that it would happen to me, but I worried over nothing. My point being it would be a dream to sit and talk with her and ask her ALL KINDS of questions, I have a million! But I don't think I have the courage yet. Perhaps in the later future. Its funny because when she approached me the first time with her "attitude" and started talking to me I was just full of happiness. (giggle) So I don't know maybe it isn't that impossible. She just makes you feel so wonderful! (sigh) I was singing my bhajans last night, they were in Malayalam, singing about the Goddess, it is a WONDERFUL CD, I remember that I wanted to buy it because it was in her language and I thought she must sound SO beautiful singing bhajans in her own tongue, I don't know if it was the thought in my head or what but I was right, they are more beautiful to me than any other CD she sings. I was so absorbed in singing last night. I started to have this "familiar" feeling and then all of a sudden a blast of bliss shot through out my whole body, It was so awesome, as soon as it started it was over just as quickly. It was only a split second. But what a GLORIOUS second it was!! In the coconut story someone mentions that Mother drinks coffee, is this true?? Why does she do this I wonder? What else does she eat or drink? I drink coffee in the weekday mornings and think I need to quit because I get headache on the weekends from caffeine withdraws. I have realized that along with the fear of God I feel that I am fearing any "experiences" that might come along. Like in my meditations I feel things at times, unexplainable things, that might or might not be all in my head but become frightened and pull myself from my meditation at times. Does anyone else have this issue? What can I do about it? I remember reading in "My First Darshan" this guy speaks of seeing Amma in his meditation room, he sat down and started to meditate with her. If I woke up and saw Amma at my alter out of no where like that I might bolt and run! LOL Me and my theatrics. (chuckles) I hope you are all doing well, I miss you all, (Supriti where are you?) My sat-sung is kicking off in two more Sundays! Yay! Can't wait! I don't know what I would have done without this . If Amma is my Sun to light up the way, then you are my stars to give me a twinkle of hope. All my love I give to you and yours.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 but Amma makes me a little nervous (OK a lot nervous), You are in good company! I mean, kneeling before the Universe can be intimidating! I also struggled with a fear that God would reject me, so maybe I transferred it onto Amma. I thought mine might trace back to a fear of parental rejection. But, how could God reject Herself? I had an early experience that helped me to realize Amma accepts me even when I'm blowing it. Shortly after meeting Amma someone put my name on the prasad list. I seriously messed up, so Amma turned around & looked at me with Her eyes bulging out in anger (Kali!). I sheepishly mouthed, "I'm sorry" & Her expression totally changed as She pointed at me & cracked up laughing, while saying something in Malayalam. After almost 2 years I still usually get nervous before darshan. One time I even had an anxiety attack during darshan. It helped immensely when Amma's attendant said I looked stiff & so suggested that I just relax into it. Fear of meditation experiences has also been an issue, which could cut them short. Getting my mantra immediately changed my perception of one experience from potentially harmful, to something that consisted of love. If we are perceiving with fear, we can change that feeling. I guess that adventuring into unknown internal territory takes a lot of faith that Amma will protect us, so that we will relax & surrender. Pertaining to surrender during meditation, it's helping to think of myself as being inside of Amma's womb. Someone wrote that she thinks of being in Amma's heart when she's afraid. Also, since last June, as with darshans, I've been just relaxing more into meditation. I think we need to be tenacious, patient & pray for grace. Someone advised me to meditate more often when I brought up these same issues. I'm also interested in hearing others' feedback about fear of God & meditation. If Amma is my Sun to light up the way, then you are my stars to give me a twinkle of hope. How beautiful! Love, Sweta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Dear Sweta, I'm glad that I am not the only one who feels this way. I thought it was just my perception of God. Maybe we somehow all fear the unknown or God in some way? I have a real problem with authority figures, boss, Amma, Swamis, also My parents, and Men. I think alot of it also stems from childhood. Alot of issuse to work out. I wonder does any one else have anything else to say on this? How to over come it etc.? Perhaps it will just take time. Much love dear sister.

I persisted and soon discovered that when I was a child, everytime the house was quiet was when my father was angry and I could possibly get punished with the belt for who knows what. So, each time I would try to meditate this would trigger this memory in my past mental data files. My father was an authority figure in my life and of course this had an effect with me and male authority figures including Christ. Eventually, I realized all of this was leading me to becoming my own authority. That I had to embrace my individual power and come into authority in the world. In authority, I could begin to make choices that were not continuously based on emotional "reactions". I could spend more time empowering my "witness" self and "respond" to life as best I could. Very empowering indeed. In Loves Service malati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Namah Shivaya, I also have had problems with various types of authority figures. Listening to Amma and reading her books have helped me see how these problems are my own vasanas and ego being reflected back to me. The problems I've had also stem from my childhood in the sense I was (in general) not taught to take responsibility for my own well-being, but rather to rely on or hope that other people match my expectations and desires. Which rarely happened because they're too busy hoping I'll abide by their expectations! Now that I think about it, my karma about authority figures probably go back to my previous lives when *I* was the "authority figure from hell"...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I can also relate to the fear of God and Amma as a sort of authority figure. It does seem to be a huge issue in our society. We've collectively spent so long looking for power *outside* of ourselves because that's where we thought it resided. The idea of a God of retribution and punishment is one that's firmly entrenched- at least this is how I've experienced it in the Catholic tradition. I struggle with belief in my individual self and trusting that Amma really does love me unconditionally sometimes! Even after knowing her for 7 years! But she's teaching me, like someone else said, to stand on my own two feet with integrity and confidence, and believe in the "Amma within". I've been blessed with her guidance in dreams and meditations many times to confirm that. Once I got a message from her- "Take care of yourself as Me"! When I think of it like that, then the fear tends to not have such strong hold. There is no outside "God" judging us. I think a good question to ask is- what am I afraid of? What am I projecting onto this other figure? And examine those fears.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Namaste, Once I got a message from her-"Take care of yourself as Me"! When I think of it like that, then the fear tends to not have such strong hold. There is no outside "God" judging us. Wow... you really woke something within me here. I have never thought of it that way...... Its funny how you can get the same exactly message in a thousand different ways. But when the right way comes along, it hits you in the face with a loud resounding "slap". We never judge ourselves because we know who we are and who we are trying to become, so its ok with ourselves if we mess up. Instead of thinking of someone "watching" and judging. What a profound impact this has just left on me. I FEEL like it just hit me up to a different level. Thank you for sharing this.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 You are welcome. Glad to be of help. Now only if I could keep rememberance of this at all times! It just comes in little bursts now and then. I actually got that message at a time when I really was feeling so down on myself, wondering what the point to it all was. I like the line in the 108 names of Amma- "..she who resides in the cave of the hearts of those with supreme devotion". frangi Ammachi, Robin Wilson <lilymoonjewel> wrote: > Namaste, > > Once I got a message from her-"Take care of yourself as Me"!
