Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Here is a thought though: Just because someone writes something in a book, doesn't make it true. Just because someone says something in a talk, satsang or private comment, doesn't make it true. Again, it is just food for thought. I used to believe everything I read, especially in the spiritual arena. Now I know better. Jai Maa! Surya - Stacee Kramer Ammachi Wednesday, August 23, 2006 8:12 PM Many Divine Mothers and apologies Dear Sister A and everyone really, As I am not even sure how to respond to what has happened since I first responded a bit to the Mother Meera interests. There are definitely people who are coming from different and very strong viewpoints. And some of the people that are coming from the viewpoint of being OK with meeting other Spiritual Masters have had to respond to me in private. This should not be, we should try to honor everyone's place of learning and comfort zone. The message below was taken as part of a post I sent out to the list. And it is out of context, and I would ask you to read all of my posts again, as they were coming from a place of seeking Unity, but also noting that Unity is not really where we are all coming from here on this list...and that is what has seemed to surface. My response about Amma having the ability to commune with different Saints and Avatars comes from the book that I am currently reading about Mother Meera called "The Mother", where in her teens, she was integrating her Consciousness and Learning about Her mission here on this planet. She was being guided by all of the Great Goddesses as well as Sri Ramakrishna, Yogananda, Sri Aurobindo and a number of others. She also shares her ability of being able to be fully conscious with someone here on Earth and being able to travel through the worlds and have another experience someplace else simultaneously But I was not able to share that piece of information with you. It has helped me to learn more about what it is really like to be an Avatar. Mother Meera is not a Guru. She says herself, it does not matter whether you believe in her or not. She is here to help us in whatever way we may need it. Our beloved Amma, does not speak about her personal experience with us, as Her Life is filled with Serving Others, and she does not place emphasis on this sort of thing. But to me this is fascinating. Learning of other Masters experiences helps me to better understand what the possibilities are for becoming fully conscious. My path has always been to learn about all religions and spiritual practices. And to study with many teachers. In fact my coming to the Divine Mother was a result of a research project that I chose as the culmination of a Masters thesis, where I was exploring the Divine Mother through all religions and spiritual paths, and sharing with others the gifts that the Divine Mother is now brining to humanity. The book "The Path of the Mother", written by an Amma devotee was my primary resource. In fact I read the book three times in a row, which in my 16 plus years of spiritual searching, I have never done before. So this is how Amma drew me into her Fold. But I was working with all of the Mothers as a whole...and just see them that way. Although Amma is the most endearing to me and is my guru. Upon meeting Mother Meera, I did not feel the same affection for her as I do for Ammachi. But by the second Darshan, I was beginning to feel more comfortable with Her. She speaks of various Mothers as well as Adi Shakti and all of the major Hindu Goddesses working with Her quite a bit to help Her to strengthen Herself and prepare for Her work in this world. It was my assumption, that our dear Amma also had help in preparing for Her mission. But this is only an assumption. How can we even begin to understand what an Avatar feels as they come in to a world where there is primarily darkness and they have signed on to help Save and Teach humanity. Well, dear Mother Meera, shares her experience with us. Yogananda's whole autobiography of a Yogi was going from Master to Master to learn various lessons. I have met Saints that I did not resonate with at all and who I felt were more a diversion on the Path. After living in a big city, where there is hardly any connection to spirit, I jump at the chance to be in the presence of an avatar or saint, for continued inspiration, to feel the closeness of God's Love, until I can hold this completely myself, and to receive their blessings, which I know will assist me on my path. To each their own. I express my apologies if I have hurt anyone's feeling here on this list. I hope that we can come together even more and be a support for one another. Each person's path is important. And it might be refreshing for people to share their personal stories of awakening from time to time. We can only do our best. And I know I can use all of the help I can get while here on this planet.
