To Sweta on sharing and wonder and joy

My hesitency in sharing is because in the past, I wonder if I've been too

free in sharing my little spiritual experiences, or experiences with

Amma....When Ramadevi gave the IAM training in 2004, she said that telling

others of

our meditation experiences could be likened to kissing & telling....Does

anyone have thoughts on this? It feels fine to share the following with

everyone

....

 

Very, very many years ago, I made some attempts to be a sincere follower of

Christ. For a period of time, I would sing to God while driving alone, &

although I didn't understand why, tears would just stream down my face....On

repeated occasions I ended up saying 'Hrim' so often, that I distinctly recall

wondering if it were an actual word in another language.

 

After meeting Amma about 2-1/2 years ago, I learned of the syllable 'Hrim.'

Bhajan book #1's English translation of "Hrim Kali" states, "O Goddess Kali

identified with the sound 'Hrim.' Interestingly, last spring Amma's

astrologer said my Ishta Deva is Kali.

 

Even though I've seen our Amma, Kali Herself, I still want a vision of Kali!

But, my closest experience was a dream. Well over a year ago, I was having

some difficult interactions with a group of woman where I worked. Another

coworker said they had a gang mentality! Anyway, one night I dreamed of a

group of woman sitting around at work, & I think they were verbally attacking

me

behind my back. Then my little bronze colored Kali statue came to life, &

started doing all sorts of defensive manuevers in front of me! It reminded

me of a martial art. Next, I saw a HUGE tiger walking in, & I just knew that

Devi was sitting on it. After that, I would sometimes visualize Kali

defending me, & a gigantic tiger carrying Devi, when I wanted protection.

 

 

Dear Sweta ~ what powerful experiences. It is amazing how I can visualize

these as I am reading them. I have heard the same thing that you did ~ that a

person shouldn't share experieces that they've had about Amma, especially those

that are visionary. My only response to that is the proof is in the pudding

~ if people did not share, how would we have all these wonderful books like

"Sacred Journey" and "Path of the Mother" and even the "Awaken Children"

series of the "Immortal Bliss" magazine. These are resplendant with stories of

Amma's Love, Her intercession for Her children, Her appearances to Her

children,

and many others...these stories are like prasad for us and for others. And

Mother Herself blesses and oversees the creation of these many publications.

Recently, I saw a wonderful picture of people at Amrituapuri putting together

some of the publications or binding greeting cards into packs. I wished I

could be sitting at that table helping them. Hugs ~ Linda

A woman who I've had the good fortune to knowe, saw

Amma in vision form, I believe a number of times,

before she met Her, & also disembodied spirits &

angels.

 

She described some fantastic visions openly. She

prayed, as I reacall it, wondering if anyone else on

the planet had such experiences. She also transmits

healings. A devotee in San Ramon experienced a

spontaneous healing transimited through her. Anyway,

then while driving down a street in Santa Cruz, she

saw (3?) beings walk into a certain book store. She

followed them to a section, where a book that had

information about Amma, as I recall, fell off the

shelf. At least once as we talked on the phone, she

told me she was seeing Amma. She was pretty casual

about relaying the beings she saw & what they said.

Eventually, maybe we'll all have such heightened

perceptions & feel so comforable with them.
