AMMA DREAM

 

Dear Anatol,

 

......This just occurred to me to share with you...

 

I had a dream about Amma last night, which I'll share in a little bit.

I had a dream previously several weeks ago where She was encouraging me

to get exercise. In the dream I was riding a bike up a snowy mountain

with Her on the back! That was wild. Along these lines (in waking

life), during Darshan in NYC, She gave me one of Her subtle messages when

I came up for my turn and She turned to the swami and rubbed his big

belly and then looked casually in my direction! That felt to be

definitely for me, as my belly has somewhat been expanding from all my desk

work. Anyway, I told Her (within) after the bike riding dream that if She

wants me to exercise that She'd have to help me as I hadn't the will or

desire. Soon after, I found myself picking up the phone, got a

trainer, and have been training every other day since then with an amazing

enthusiasm I have never had for working out. It is really wonderful. It

is ALL MOTHER.

 

Now, the dream from last night was a little weird. I was in front of a

group of devotees and Mother was with me and was honoring me for

something (She was also gently scolding me for something in the same dream!

:-) She asked me to speak. I had a toilet bowl up front. It had peace

symbols on it leading into the bowl. The bowl, as I explained to the

group in my dream was the Goddess. It was a filthy bowl. I explained

that selfless service uncovers the Goddess. I also explained that

selfless service will undo one's tendencies such as the guilt associated

with religion. I mentioned specifically Protestant/Presbyterian, which I

was raised.

 

Wow, as I am writing this, I realize She just answered my prayer from

yesterday! I did not know how to help someone who came to me who has an

incredible religion-based guilt complex. He's Protestant too, I

believe. He's been beating the crap out of himself over being sinful and

feeling extremely guilty and angry with God. I tried everything I could

think of to help him, but ran out of ideas. I had to turn it over to

Mother, which I should have done immediately but thought I could do

something myself to help him. I was wrong. Anyway, with this dream, I'm

just now seeing that perhaps Mother may have wanted me to encourage him

to start giving selflessly to others to get out of his own misery! That

would surely help him. Thank you, Mother!

 

Another meaning I got from this dream was that I was to practice more

service myself. Today, I was given the opportunity to help with

Hurricane Katrina. The message I got as I went about my day was that Mother

was sending out the inspiration to many people to give selflessly to

help those affected by Katrina.

 

Anyway, as I explained to this group of devotees in my dream, selfless

service (karma yoga) cleans the bowl to reveal the white purity of the

Goddess beneath the dirt (samskaras).

 

Pretty weird that it was a toilet, I know. But, it works.

 

My dreams with Mother are usually more vivid than other dreams. I

always wake up feeling lighter, happier, and loved, as I did this morning.

I am so happy She helps me as I sleep. I didn't want to get out of

bed. I wanted to go back to sleep to be with Mother in my dream but was

unable to! Her smiling face filled my heart with love. I could have

stayed in that dream much longer :-)

 

Namah Shivaya,

Peter
