Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I have been back since the program ended last week and am still Amma- struck... on having spent time with Amma,-which often defies description. Trying to get things done around the house...I instead am spending time on COL and listening to bhajans... I was able to do a lot of seva that I love doing-line entry, greeting and helping at the stairs on Devi Bhava. I don't know quite how that happened! But it was great. The Seattle Satsang was awesome to be with-they are so loving, generous in spirit and no power trips. They were so joyful to be around. And being with Amma....we had a meditation with Amma during the retreat-outside. I was standing and watching and here She comes in the car. The window was down and She kind of stopped, right there, in front of me. I had the impulse to run to Her, right up to the car but didn't. Then they drove on to park further away. Now I think She stopped and I missed a golden chance.... All the Swamis gave beautiful talks. I attended the IAM refresher- which I highly recommend,- to brush up so to speak. When Swami Dayamrita was talking, someone asked, should we do IAM or sit with Amma as much as possible? If we have to choose, which is it? He said definitely sit with Amma and do IAM mentally while sitting with Her. Suddenly I had an uncontrollable urge to be with Amma. We had finished the refresher part and I immediately got up and left. As I went I could smell Amma's divine fragrance. Then the wind was blowing and it felt like She was beckoning me to Her. I walked into the hall and She looked over. I just KNEW that I was supposed to hurry back. I cannot explain it any further than that. I was sitting at table as I need a chair due to a back injury. Then I saw Amma looking and I realized She wanted the tables all pushed back. Right after that, She ordered more room in the hall and for the tables to be pushed back. I asked Swami Dayamrita, again, how many dimensions does Amma say exist? He said Amma says that there are nine. NINE! good grief! We had a discussion on ghosts due to an experience I had. I have had them before, lurking around my house. Boy do I sound nuts or what? Transparent!! LOL...Anyway, he said they are everywhere and you become used to them being around. Eventually you don't notice them. Amma says that they cannot hurt you. But it can be incredibly frightening. They are like butterflies and have no impact on you. The talks were available on a CD in the bookstore. I forgot to pick one up. They were so great and I wish I had gotten one. Maybe I can get them in another tour city.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Namah Shivaya Adrianne, Thank you very much for sharing what Amma & Swami Dayamrita said about disembodied spirits. At times I believe I've perceived them, & this helps me to relax about them. Sweta I asked Swami Dayamrita, again, how many dimensions does Amma say exist? He said Amma says that there are nine. NINE! good grief! We had a discussion on ghosts due to an experience I had. I have had them before, lurking around my house. Boy do I sound nuts or what? Transparent!!
