I really felt the "need" to respond to this post.

....The first time I met Swami Satyananda Saraswati he told me "at last

you have come." I have never been able to get him to explain to me

when we had been together in the past, but he made it very clear that

we had been...In the 1950's I saw a copy of Life Magazine that included an

article

about Sikkim and Hope Cooke, the American socialite who married the

Crown Prince of Sikkim. When I saw the pictures of the land, I "knew"

that I had been there. When I went to Sikkim in 1992, I felt that the

Sikkimese people were "my people". I felt such a oneness with them.

Much more than I usually feel with Americans. When I had to leave, a

Sikkimese woman washed my hands with her tears. She did not want me to

leave. It was a very powerful moment. I told her that that was the

only visit "home" that I would make this lifetime.

....My father and I were always very close. I consider him to be my first

guru. (in this lifetime) He taught me the value of silence and

simplicity, of peace and unconditional love and service...When we got home

the first call we got was from a hospital in Washington saying that there had

been a terrible accident and both of my parents were in critical condition.

My father passed

away the next morning. I was en route to see him when he passed. To

this day my mother swears that there was "no dream". My father was 61

years old. My mother is now 90 and still in excellent health.

 

A couple of years after my dad died, my husband, baby and I were

visiting an acquaintance in Santa Fe. It turned out that she was a

psychic and performed seances. She asked us if there was anyone on the

other side that we wanted to contact. At first we said "no" but then I

thought of my father....Our friend spoke saying "Is there anyone who wishes

to speak to Ardis?Is Charles Daniel O'Brien Jackson there? After a pause,

she said "he is here Ardis, ask your question." I said "Daddy, why did you

commit

suicide?" She said "He's laughing. He says ' Is that what you

thought'"? I said "well you had warning and you still went on the

trip." He said "I had used up my last extension. I was needed here.

Couldn't you tell that I was happy to return Home? Oh, Ardie, it is

soooooo beautiful here. You can't imagine it. It is so far beyond any

of the beauty on Earth. I never dreamed that I would be able to go to

such a place." I started crying and said "Oh Daddy, if you didn't

believe that you would go to such a beautiful place, you were the only

one! Everyone who knew you knew that you would go to the best place in

creation." Then my dad said "well Ardie I enjoyed this visit but I

have to get going. We have lots of work to do here."

 

....My intuition is that you, gorgeous sister, have always been

on the "right" path and have always kept the light in sight...

 

 

 

Dear Mountain Mother ~ thank you so much for your very candid and wonderful

response to my post. Your story of visiting Sikkim was incredible, and perhaps

there is a place right here on earth where "my people" live, and I just

haven't been there yet. The story about your father's dream and his coming to

during the seance and then again later to guide you was very powerful, as was

his description of the place he was in. I really believe in these things ~ that

the spirit lives on, that, depending our the needs of the spirit, it may go

to different places to do things, to learn, to experience, to help, etc. But

it still is always a marvel to me to hear about it ... I get chills all over

me. You know that I trust you and your intuition to the utmost. I agree with

you ... Amma did not want me to be abused and does not want me to be sick. I

think sometimes I have misunderstood the concepts of karma and vasanas, and

then I begin to think what I have had to endure is all my own fault. But I

know there is a higher purpose. Thank you again for being so honest, so

sharing,

and for being part of my life.

Hugs ~ Linda

Swaamiji once said "we all have karma (vasanas). If we didn't we

wouldn't be in a body."

 

Sooooooooo don't blame yourself! If you read about the lives of the

saints (Shree Maa, Ammachi, Anandamayi Ma, Sarada Devi and I believe

Swamiji) they were abused by their families and had unfortunate

experiences in their lives until they truly "remembered" who they were

and had the strength to stand up for themselves in their glory..
