Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Beautifully said, Stacee! I share your feelings, and also feel a deep sadness tonight, and I am not even really sure why. Maybe it is simply time for me to move on. When we open our hearts and share our deep feelings and experiences, we should not have to be on guard as to how they will be accepted. We are sharing LOVE here. We are sharing divine experiences and deeply held feelings. This requires trust. When the environment in a group is unstable and is no longer a safe place to express one's self, when one feels shut out (censored) for expressing an unpopular opinion, then it is no longer a place of respect and support. No one here is recruiting devotees for another guru! We are simply sharing the highs and lows of life along the razor's edge, including the sharing of those luminous beings who have helped us along the way. How could the presence and blessings of Luminous Beings possibly be anything but a cause for celebration? Life is hard enough....there is so much darkness and ignorance...why must we conjure more? Why must we look for problems where there are only blessings? May You all Be blessed, in ways that you can not even imagine. In Love Always, Sanatani Stacee Kramer <stacee.kramer (AT) sbcglobal (DOT) net> wrote: Namah Shivaya, How to please everyone. Some of us have come from traditions that include everything. And know no other way to express. How can we have an open heart to the moment? Several on this list requested more information. If there is a need, then someone will come forward who can fill it. I am learning that it is not We who do, but She who does through us. If one is guided to share with an open heart and if the message is coming from Love, then it may need to come. We should not need to walk on egg shells to share the Mother's Love, as this will look differently to each of us. We can use discrimination, and we can choose to be tactful in how we share and what we share. There is a person in this forum who shares Sivananda messages from time to time. The last message was a Godsend, and I am so happy that this person listened to his heart and passed the info forward. Many of us have learned valuable wisdom over the many years that we have been dedicated to the path of Love. We are all teachers for one another, and even mother's for each other. Divine inspiration will come in it's own time, and not when it is best for only a few. Can we hold one another in this forum to share from our hearts when we feel called to do so? If not, then this might not be the right place for me, no problem. I Love Ammachi more than life itself, and know that she guides me to share.
