Dear Robert,

Your website is a beautiful gathering of Bhagavan's teachings. Also your presentation of core topics pertaining to enlightenment has attracted me very much.

I felt very happy to see your page on the golden balls, which is a very, very new happening in the Dharma. In fact I was very much surprised to see those pictures of Golden balls so clearly.

The information provided on your site about enlightenment in Israel gives peace to the rest of the world and is very hopeful. The help you as a couple are doing for Amma Bhagavan is amazing. I wish Amma Bhagavan's blessing be there all the time and move forward to help the rest of the world.

I did not introduce myself ... My name is P.V. RAO from India but right now working in Egypt in a oil company. Last year I have attended the Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer in Oneness University for 15 days.

While I was looking at your website one miracle happened that all of a sudden the Moola Mantra started playing and it was heard continuously for 20 min. [Editors note – we do not have the Moola Mantra on our website!!!]. I was surprised and blessed as well. I have been experiencing Amma Bhagavan's grace since 1995 and got married in Nemam in the year 1997.

Also I did feel that the energy levels are very high while looking at your website. I have got a job offer from India after seeing this website. Great power I felt in watching this site.

I would like to buy the book "Bringers of the Golden Ball." How can I get that book to my following residence address? I have a credit card. Please guide me.

Best of Grace for your seva.

Ever at the lotus feet of my beloved Amma and Bhagavan

The moment you put your hands on my head was the moment I smelt the Musk and thought to myself, has Robert got Musk on or what was that just, well I didn't know until now, so thank you kindly for the blessing Robert, what a beautiful soul you are.

Shawn Lergessner, Gold Coast, 17 May 2006

Editors comment: When I thanked Bhagavan for the supremely blissful sandalwood miracle He gave me from His Holy Feet, Bhagavan told me that He gives sandalwood and musk. I let Shawn know that Bhagavan just gave Shawn a miracle blessing. I don't wear any scent.

Dear Maya, Jennifer, Robert and Joel,

Wow, your special Israel fundraiser Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer evening was a brilliant night! (of course!!!!). Light everywhere, even still right now as I write this. All day my being has been flooded with light and intense joy AND all day - (and this is since 7 am, while the whole household was still slumbering away, but I lay there awake in utter beauty and with such gratitude).

I wanted to write this thank you note, and I must have written it in my head at least 3 times today, during mundane things like brushing the cat's fur, hanging out the washing, staring out the window, eating breakfast with the kiddies & Gerald, and at very alive times like at Chung's birthday party with 11 wonderful partying children around me, etc...

There is much that could be said, and yet nothing can be said. Words simply cannot convey the feelings I have had since last night. Words can never be sublime enough to describe this heightened awareness, and what has been shown last night about the world. And as this journey continues words as descriptors become more and more inadequate.

All I can say is that there is such a huge amount of beauty, Divine Love & support… its incredible! Knowing it is one thing, experiencing it quite another. It is vast and indescribable!!! The feeling of absolute oneness with God and all, and the Divinity of this universe including this planet earth is so expansive, its indefinable, as is its vibration of bliss and perfection.

As we all realize, its so close & the only truth about ourselves and life. We all have had the blessing of tasting this through Amma & Bhagavan in particular, and for me Mother Meera has been equally loving and light infusing.

Last night my words of sharing felt so feeble and they couldn't give any justice to what Amma Bhagavan's light & love can do and what it did. I wish I could have hugged everyone there and somehow plugged them into what I felt, and we all to each other... but then all is revealed to everyone in perfect sequence and time, so there would be no need in this perfect play, for anyone to interfere. Everyone received incredible gifts, and the feeling of gratitude and love was palpable! We were all walking in love together!!!

My deepest desire today has been to write to you all to say I'm so thrilled and thankful that you all have had the guidance and passion to follow your hearts to do this! And also that not so long ago you went to India to receive this gift, so that other souls can be touched by it, through you as a vessel, and thus remember their true 'self', and then in turn be part of transforming the world bit by bit.

Nothing could be a greater gift and I am just so grateful you were there in this multifaceted-jewel-style of energy. An absolute pleasure to experience! Please never hesitate to arrange such a gathering again! There must be more fundraising to be done again soon, I can imagine!!!

Its so powerful to gather like this. I'm so amazed and filled with awe and gratitude daily about what Amma Bhagavan and other Beings of Light are able to do through others and directly! I'm also so glad my being was ready to be here on this wonderful journey with you and the rest of the world. What wonderful times!

This sounds very basic and simple, and in essence it is - but its not a reflection at all of the deepest recesses of my heart, which is singing, beaming and encompassing spaces I'm not even aware of consciously. God can do with it as God pleases!! The limitation of words on a page...

But please accept my gratitude and thank you!!!! That is the main message, ha ha ha... after all that writing! I did not get to express this verbally last night to all of you (for various reasons). Can someone please forward this to Jennifer, as I don't have her email address? Thank you!!! You are all great gifts to the world and just brilliant! Thank you for letting me have this opportunity, we can never be sure of how many chances we have to say what we mean, and why wait if it may bring the recipients some joy?

From the truth in my heart, Sabine

Thank you for a lovely evening last Saturday. This was closer to the Oneness Blessing Energy Transfers I had in India. I felt like I had a skullcap on my head that was surrounding the top 1/3 of my head and with a denseness that was awesome. Then the electrical current seemed to ignite my current and cause a spark, resulting in my body responding in jerks. At one time I felt a buzzing in an arc formation around the left side of my brain, this was similar to what I felt in India.

My body felt like it was heating and filled with spirit or denseness is how it feels to me. I was aware of the filling up of spirit in my body and just enjoyed the experience. At times I felt a presence and it was talking through me. I allowed this communication to continue quietly as I felt it was so healing. I do enjoy these experiences and I know that they are furthering my development.

I mentioned my experience to a friend and she wished to know when the next one is. With better advertising you should be able to double the numbers you had on Saturday

Hugs to you, Lesley Riddle

Dear Robert,

I thought it was time to write to you to thank you for everything that you have done for us this year. It was December last year that we came to our first Satsang at your house. We had not yet decided whether to do the Oneness Blessing process. We met Julie and Grant Horsfall and listened to their views and we felt comfortable with you both and after consulting the I Ching and talking together we decided to go ahead with starting the process.

Just before this I had been feeling very down and fed up with life and myself. I started writing an affirmation in my journal "There is a divine plan of goodness for my life". I had a dream on the 30th November where I met a grey haired, sweet, gentle God-like man but had to leave him and travel through an Indian market - there were many steps. Go through cleansing process (symbolised by finding and using an Indian style toilet ) Then I have to find my way back to the grey haired man - I hope in the dream that it won't be too long or hard. I had no idea at the time what the meaning was of this dream and did not analyze it, just recorded it.

Well, much has happened in the last year, but it has been a very gentle process and it is only now, exactly 12 months later, that I am becoming aware that I am aware! I am more aware of my thoughts - they are less and less repetitive, based on mundane anxieties etc. I am more aware of my feelings. After working on deep core issues both at the Oneness Blessing days and during the months between Oneness Blessing days I am not reacting to other people the way I used to. Occasionally I do and that is when I have to not think that maybe I haven't progressed as far as I thought.

Daniel and I are living together more harmoniously and I am able to listen to what he is saying, think about it and decide how I will respond rather than reacting from my own personal issues. At work I may feel the old feelings of rejection or whatever from workmates but then I just let it go and feel no resentment whatsoever and am able to not take things personally as I used to. All of this is making me feel very happy and joyful and contented with life. Even writing this is making me feel good.

I am so grateful to you for all the hard work and efforts you are putting into your Oneness Blessing work and all the love and care. I have always had difficulties with men in authority and now I understand why. You told me this was due to a past life experience. I am now being able to just observe my feelings and I am starting to feel that this fear is leaving me.

Only in the last week I am finding that I feel more powerful and fearless. I went to a training day on Suicide prevention and Psychosynthesis yesterday. I suddenly felt that I can now stand up for my beliefs at work and next week I will be speaking to my clinical supervisor about the work I do and have started doing which is based on feelings your feelings intensely which then turns to joy. (Does this sound familiar? Yes, I am coming across this everywhere I read. Bhagavan talks about this, you have talked about this, Brandon Bays, The Journey, Lyons and Psaris give techniques for doing this in their book Undefended Love etc.) I am feeling excited, and happy and I have noticed a difference at work this week. I am feeling less inhibited and fearful.

Yes, it has been and continues to be an amazing, wonderful healing journey. There is heaps more I could say - I have four journals full of experiences and perhaps I could write it all up one day but right now I thought I would like to write this to you both and if you wish to use it in any way please feel free to do so.

I look forward to seeing you in December and again in the New Year as I realize that this is an ever deepening process and I love being in the company of other people consciously on the journey.

Love and light to you,

Julia Smaistrla

This is an email from John Farman. I have never met him but I have been in email contact with him since my Oneness Tour to the USA in May 2005. John returned from the August 21 day event and had this to say:

Quite a ride Robert!

Ups (more ups than downs) ... I feel a permanent shift in me. I noticeably can feel how activity in the brain is processed differently. It feels weird to write about "me" and "I", but I know you understand .... ha!

There was such a blasting of the heart and crown chakras!!! And a profound visit from Sri Ramakrishna to aid the process! Now I didn't know anything about him before my trip ... he came during the Ganesha Havan and stayed with me through the intense parts of samskara shuddhi and then lovingly left after "the big shift" happened in my brain, August 7th to be exact. That was only about 4 days into the process, that was the major breakthrough for me WOW! From there it was mostly heart chakra work and exercising for me.

Giving Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) has been a true blessing! There were 100 + people at the Healing Service I lead every month. About 20 stayed after and 3 of us Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) givers let it rip! The room was just buzzing!!! A few golden orbs were photographed over our alter .... Bhagavan sure is stepping up the wattage isn't he???? :)

I've definitely had high enlightened states (coming and going), amazing love spaces opening up, and I'm just now beginning to experience ever so slight oneness states. But not like some other people have reported. But it feels great to be so light, open and a feeling of clear energy (best description I can give) wonderful wonderful wonderful!

Overall a very blessed and humbling experience. There is such a feeling of gratitude for how powerful and REAL the Divine is working and moving through us!

I send Love and Blessings to you! I feel I have a friend with you that I've never met!

Stay in touch!

7 September 2005... Karen Winter of our Melbourne group reports on her August 21-day Process in Golden City:

In August 2004 a friend of mine told me about attending an Enlightenment workshop. I had no idea what this was about, but something told me that I needed to attend. Not knowing what I was getting myself into, I called and booked myself in. That was on 15th August 2004 - the day of Amma's Birthday. This was the first time I received Oneness Blessing Energy Transfers. I felt that I was in the right place at the right time.

Two weeks after this workshop I departed to work overseas for 4 months. While I was working in Norway, something interesting started to happen. People I was not able to do healing in my usual sessions, either due to distance or circumstances, really needed my help. I happened to have read a book (by pure coincidence) about someone who was doing healing work by tuning into people and then using an "energy tool" to clear their blocks.

Somehow, after receiving my first Oneness Blessing Energy Transfers in Melbourne, I started tuning into people, seeing where their blocks were, then using an Energy Tool of Gold Light, I started clearing their blocks. Miraculously, their problems, pain, issues and imbalances resolved. Was this the work of Divine Grace, or Amma and Bhagavan?

Over the past three to four years, I experienced periods where all I felt within was love, joy and peace. This seemed to radiate out and many people noticed. This had a large impact on my healing work and produced some incredible results with my clients. This sometimes lasted for 7-8 months and then I would lose it again. And then it would come back again, sometimes for up to 12 months or more.

The last time I shifted out of this incredible love, joy and peace was in February 2004, which coincided with a very powerful full moon that seemed to bring up a lot of issues for everyone. Since that time, I have had incredible waves of emotions rising from deep within me. It was like I was purging all the old emotions I had been holding onto from this and all other lifetimes. This period of my life was like riding on an incredible roller coaster that I did not seem to be able to get off. Just when things would settle, more and more of these waves of emotions would well up from within. It truly felt like I as traveling through and experiencing "The Dark Night Of the Soul".

This ended for me in June this year. On the 2nd of June, our group of Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) givers in Melbourne, got us all together for a Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) evening, as many were being performed around the world within a 24 hours timeframe. This was an incredibly powerful evening where we performed rituals, danced and received Oneness Blessing Energy Transfers. The next day I went along to see my friend Sue for our monthly healing session we do on each other. She doesn't know much about Amma and Bhagavan or the Oneness Blessing Energy Transfers although I had told her about them and encouraged her to join us. She had been assisting me to work through my "Dark Night Of The Soul" which had resulted in some pretty heavy sessions, but this one was different. While she was working on me, she could see Buddha entering me! I immediately knew what this was. It was the Buddha Energy descending into me. I had this magnificent Gold Light radiating out from me. She saw Buddha standing on the left side of me. I then saw Amma on my right side - this was my first really powerful connection with Amma. She seemed to be making a few adjustments to me physically, which I felt very strongly. Sue asked me to keep bringing the Gold Light through me and left me in the room to process whatever was happening.

June and July went very smoothly for me. I felt as though I had completely shifted out of the energy of "The Dark Night Of the Soul". I felt much better, had more energy and things were flowing more smoothly in my life and in my Kinesiology practice up until my departure for India on 31st July to attend the 21 Day Process in the Golden City near Chennai.

The "21 Day Process" has been one of the most amazing things I have done in my life. I have spent time at the teachings of "His Holiness the Dalai Lama" in India, as well as several months with "John of God" in Brazil. These two were incredible experiences but what happened at the Golden City has changed my life forever.

The 21 Day Process takes you through an incredible journey of firstly looking and yourself and your life, and why we are the way we are, our conditioning, how we are influenced and why we act and behave the way we do.

Firstly, I saw all the suffering in my life and then upon releasing that, I saw the suffering of Humanity. I realised that the entire planet was trapped and that all of Humanity needed to be freed. At first I was crying (howling) unstoppably, as I saw the incredible need to help Humanity to become free from all suffering. Everyone went through different experiences, many were crying, releasing, going through emotional turmoil, some were even laughing. Most of the time I was feeling an incredible sense of peace and joy - at first I thought maybe I wasn't getting it, but I was assured that where ever I was at and whatever I was feeling was right. I found myself dancing around the room on many occasions, feeling as though I was totally free.

We worked on releasing our past conditioning, negativity and karma on all levels. We looked at why relationships are the way they are, and that the biggest mistake we make is trying to change or understand each other. We saw that life was nothing but RELATIONSHIPS! We were taken back through our childhood, and asked the Divine Presence within us to do whatever it needed to do to alter our childhood where needed. Once again, I danced around the room and saw myself in my pretty dresses my mother made me when I was 5 or 6. I was dancing through meadows of beautiful flowers; I was flying - WOW!

The "21 Day Process" is like the Ultimate form of Personal Development. It was like having 30 years of Natural Therapies in just three weeks. The insights that came through the process were amazing. It is the Ultimate way to change our patterns, experience our relationships and change all of Humanity forever. We saw that we were not responsible for what we are. We saw that our conditioning, our experiences in the womb, our birth process and our childhood, all impacts of how we are and how we behave. All of this we have "No Control" over. We have no control, that we have no control of control! Now I understand why "Control" has come up so much over the years in my work with Kinesiology. You do not have control over life - life has control over you. This conditioning is running through you and you cannot be free of this. The more we "Control" any aspect of life, the more we "Struggle". I have been telling my clients this for many years!

On Day 9 I went through a "Death of the Self" and saw myself floating down the "Ganges" in a death ceremony. I could hear water running beneath me as I floated away, and could actually hear the crackle of flames burning the wood that was placed on my body. Then I started to fly over India and Asia and then out to the Cosmos. I was flying on a bed of a Lotus Flower and flew higher and higher into the Universe, seeing Planet Earth below. Then I started flying through Galaxy after Galaxy. Then I was the whole Universe,the stars, I was everything - Earth, Humanity, all creatures, the plants, everything. I surrounded Planet Earth in a Billion Petal Golden Lotus Flower and asked that only Love, Peace, Joy, Happiness & Grace engulf the entire Human Race and all creatures of this Earth exactly "AS IT IS"! I felt as though I had died and gone to Heaven, only to realise that Heaven is here on Earth.

Oneness Blessing Energy Transfers at the Golden City were happening 24 hours of the day energetically. We had very few physical deekshas performed on us. The most powerful part of the process was the meditation in front of the "Cosmic Beings". These are Fully Enlightened Human Beings who have the power to "plant the seeds of Consciousness" into us. On Day 10 while meditating in front of the Cosmic Beings, I felt them physically "Unplug" me from my mind.

It was like something out of the movie "The Matrix" but it was below my Brain somehow - WOW! During the process, I was gauging my progress using the Scale of Enlightenment (0-1000) and Kinesiology. I was very surprised at how fast I was moving up the scale and from Day 1 to Day 10 I went from 460 to 900! After discussion with my Dasaji (guide) Utpala, and thinking that I wouldn't progress much further, she gave me encouragement and changed my belief so that I could see that I could reach that level.

My thoughts were passing me by. The mind chatter had lessened, and I was feeling very peaceful, positive and focused. I realised that all I had to do was ASK for what I wanted. I prayed to Amma and Bhagavan to become Fully Enlightened but to also be fully functional in life. I realised there was NOTHING to know, that NOTHING matters, there is NOTHING to understand. That we need to stop understanding our thoughts, stop hooking into them, that we just need to watch them pass by just like watching trains at a station. Our bodies are just the Temple that we live in; we are just "Tenants". Life is "Perfect" exactly "AS IT IS".

On Day 11 (Amma’s birthday) of the Process I reached the complete "State of Oneness"! Exactly one year to the day of my first Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer workshop! While meditating in front of the Cosmic Beings, I told them that I was ready and that I saw no reason to hold back any longer. I asked them if I could be Fully Functionally Enlightened. I felt like many sets of hands were on my head giving me Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) all and once. I then saw Amma on my left and Bhagavan on my right. They were operating on the Parietal lobes of my brain - one on either side. I also felt incredible Electrical Surges and twangs going through my heart. The session came to an end and they were still going - they insisted that I stay in a meditative state until the finished. I got up slowly and realised exactly what had just happened. Wowww - I was stunned, dazed, slow in my movements but in complete and utter GRATITUDE for what had just happened. As I walked out to get back on the bus, I saw Chris walking along and told him what had just happened, and cried tears of joy on his shoulder.

My whole body was tingling, especially my hands and feet as an incredible amount of energy was surging through me. I could not even move very fast and just stared, as my whole vibration frequency seemed to "step up". The next few days I was feeling very drained, dehydrated, needed to take hydration salts and more water as these adjustments within me were made. The Parietal Lobes of my brain still hurt and the headaches, which I had already been experiencing, were not much better. My body was also doing a massive amount on cleansing, especially the first 10 days of the Process but this also continued. I realised that reaching the "State Of Oneness" was NOT the End but is actually the Beginning! There is no jumping for joy - "IT JUST IS".

My mind is completely clear sometimes there is absolutely nothing. Now when I meditate, I see incredible colours usually ending with the Golden Ball. I can now go into a very deep state in meditation without effort, where I am completely one with everything… the Cosmos, the sky, the trees, the birds, animals, people, everything and everyone. Many times during the Process I would completely leave my body, or been in such an altered state that I felt I was completely not my body, or somewhere completely not where my body was sitting. Incredible!!!

There is no Separation, no Loneliness, no feeling of Longing or that something is missing in my life. I just feel peace, love, joy and contentment. When you feel complete non-separation, complete Acceptance of "WHAT IS AS IS", there is only Love - this is Love. Causeless, Unconditional Love! This is how all the problems of Humanity will forever be resolved. This is what will happen to Planet Earth when all of Humanity becomes Enlightened - at complete Oneness with everything and everyone. You cannot hurt the other when you ARE the other. There is only ONE HUMAN BEING. I am not myself any more as the "Self" has completely gone.

Everything in Life is a Process - even the Universe is a Process. As the Universe, Galaxies, Sun, Planets and Moon contract around us, they influence and impact on us. They affect how we feel, how we think and our emotions. Bhagavan says that this is often why we have "no control" over our actions and behaviour from one day to the next because of these influences. There is no Destination - there is only Freedom. Awakening to the "State of Oneness" is our Freedom, our Destination. There is no where else to go - that's life. There is no Ultimate Experience - "IT JUST IS". Oneness is not the Ultimate experience! Feeling Joy, Love and Divine Experiences are part of Oneness. Once we reach this state, which is a constant and
permanent - "I AM" - THAT'S ALL.

I am amazed at how easy it was to attain the State of Oneness. Although in some ways I feel as though I have been preparing for this for many lifetimes. I see that there is still a long way to go, as there are many Levels of Consciousness, as there are many levels to the "State of Oneness". Being Human is a very, very, very, very small step on the ladder. ONENESS IS JUST THE BEGINNING! I give my ABSOLUTE HEARTFELT GRATITUDE to Amma, Bhagavan and the Divine Presence within me.

Love, Peace & Divine Grace,
Karen Fay Winter

Hi Dear Ones,

I started giving energy transfer workshops on May 30^th 2004 in Adelaide and a little later in Melbourne Australia. Then I branched out to France, Singapore, and the United States of America.

So far 44 people, 30 in Adelaide and 14 in Melbourne have just completed our series of 10-day-long workshops.

The first person to report back their experiences over this year-long process is Wolf Ringler in Melbourne. I have been joined by Justin and Carol for all 10 of Wolf’s Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer workshops and by Janine, Peter, Yarny and Annie in giving Wolf his last 4 Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) workshops. Wolf’s wonderful account is given below.

I know that you will enjoy reading Wolf’s account.

In deep appreciation of the Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) blessings of Amma Bhagavan…

We are ever in their service,

Love and Light,

Robert

A YEAR OF Oneness Blessings

Many people have written about one or two of their Oneness Blessing experiences. You might be interested in one person’s long-term view of the process.

I’ve had many mystical experiences, beginning with my first Enlightenment Initiation Workshop (Editor's note: now called Heart Awakening Workshop). These include going into hysterical Laughing Buddha state, watching my thoughts slowly drifting by and getting the Cosmic Joke: the hilarity of the mind’s unreality. Revelation and healing of life patterns and blocks, including womb experiences. Amma and Bhagavan stepping down from their portraits to be at my side or take permanent abode in my heart. Visions of golden balls and Christ in a pillar of white light. Myself as an eagle soaring in another dimension. Being in such a state of bliss, peace and Oneness with all of creation that I wanted nothing else than to bask in it forever, even if it meant sleeping on park benches for years, like Eckhart Tolle. And all the while the divine radiance of the Oneness Blessing Oneness energy suffused my being. These experiences have become commonplace, accepted as part of the process and not sought after for themselves.

Oneness Blessing is a physical process. Several months ago I started experiencing a daily Silence State, in which my brain activity became minimal, I could clearly see the few thoughts I had crawl by and felt pressure in parts of my brain as they received psychic surgery. I am being prepared. The state usually lasts for an hour or two, during opportune periods such as when I’m walking the dogs. J

An essential aspect of the Oneness Blessing process involves work on the shadow. Rejected issues/parts of the self are brought to light, presented for acknowledgement, acceptance and love and driven to the surface for release. Indeed energetically I experience the Oneness Blessing process as a constant series of “up” and “down” cycles. Knowing that all suffering comes from resistance to What Is, I’ve chosen to practice Robert’s suggestion that I not automatically push away or try to “fix” painful issues. I have asked Amma Bhagavan to intensify my issues to force me to surrender, and take my hands and lead me through them. Consequently many painful memories keep arising. At the least I let them just sit there; at best I love them. Either they fall away most of the time or they’re transmuted into deep peace and clarity.

I’ve experienced challenging life circumstances during the past year and been constantly supported and uplifted, quickly being returned to a state of balance. My sense of separation from others, the feeling of being unable to make friends and overall loneliness have all dramatically reduced. So too have my anger and especially rage and hate in reaction to the repeated trauma I’ve experienced throughout my life. My tolerance, compassion and abiding sense of peace have deepened. My heart is opening.

Several months ago I experienced myself as a small leaf blowing in the wind of Amma Bhagavan’s creation. Although my mind resists, I welcome this helplessness in the face of their Grace. “My cup runneth over ..... And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Wolf Ringler, Melbourne Australia, June 2005

***************************

The following are accounts of the participants who are involved with the 10 session Gift of Happiness Workshop process. These are statements of these seekers after their first workshop unless otherwise indicated. Below this you will find Carol's and my write-up on our experiences with the 21-day process in India.

LONG DISTANCE Oneness Blessing

Dear Robert,

The long-distance Oneness Blessing last evening was wonderful. I sat in my meditation room and completed the kundalini meditation and then listened to the Moola mantra. It was difficult to keep my mind from wandering, as usual, but suddenly I was completely aware of both of you near me, radiating love. It felt like Carol was weeping from pure emotion. I could feel your energy all around me. Then I felt a powerful surge of energy flow through me and it lasted for many seconds, making it difficult to sit still. I'm not sure but thought Robert sent the attunement first. Then seconds or minutes later, I'm not sure, I felt another surge of energy pour into my crown chakra and it lasted for many seconds as well. I felt Carol close to me and I could feel her deep love and overwhelming emotion. When my body quieted seconds later, I felt filled up with love and peace. My kundalini energy was active as I felt myself gently weaving counter clockwise and I sat there for about 15 minutes with the Moola Mantra playing softly in the background. It was wonderful. Then I quietly rested. It was beautiful. I had difficulty going to sleep last night because of the high energy flowing through me and my body was warm.

As I am writing this, my body is beginning to weave and I can feel energy moving in my arms, crown and abdomen. Interesting!

Thank you so very much.

Peace, Love and Light,

Valerie in San Diego California, USA. Received distance Oneness Blessing on Amma's birthday from Melbourne.

***************************

Hi Robert,

My apologies for taking so long to tell you about my distance Oneness Blessing experience. It was a good one!

8:00-8:30pm… I did Ananda Mandala.

8:30-9:00pm received the distance Oneness Blessing - when I first closed my eyes I felt a female presence - Mary Magdalene energy - and I saw a woman wearing a veil.

I felt nothing for a while and then suddenly I felt like a plug went in and I sensed Robert’s energy - my tongue started to tingle, then my lips, and around my crown/head I felt heat and pressure and felt a presence at my back (behind me). I sensed Robert's watch ticking in my left ear. The presence I felt behind me lasted well into the evening. It was a comforting feeling. The plugged in energy feeling I described earlier lasted for approximately 10-15 minutes and then it was gone, just like someone turned off the switch. Then I knew then it was time for Shavasana.

Shavasana… 855pm- 940pm I lay down in Shavasana.

I perceived the flash of Egyptian princess wearing a headdress (and little else) and a male who looked like the female Sekhmet. Seduction and the end message was, "I deserve to be loved".

After this vision nothing happened for a while… just deep relaxation.

Then I experienced a bad taste in my mouth and received the message that I was having a digestive issue and to take chlorophyll - 1 tablespoon 3 times a day. This was like a reminder for me as I had been feeling like I need to take it more regularly and I hadn't been!

Then a vibration and a light tapping feeling began on my face - like a fluttering sensation. I saw a bright light and the tapping increased in speed and intensity, and then I felt a release. I saw a vision of a cocoon opening under much pressure and force and then a sense of peace and freedom ensued.

This represents for me a renewed light energy… starting anew in a chrysalis body and leaving the old behind. I felt happy, uplifted and excited.

At the end I had a vision of a stock room surrounded by books (I had applied to work at a new bookstore opening up in a couple months). Hopefully a premonition!

It was a great experience - I was doubtful too, that I would sense anything from long distance - "you have some powerful energies!!!" Thank you.

Love and Blessings

HANDS ON Oneness Blessing

Dear Robert,

Just a little note to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for making the 1st and 2nd of June event happen!!! And for giving Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) full stop!!!! Both nights were truly powerful and incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots has been happening for Gerald and myself, and our connection with Amma & Bhagavan is so beautiful flourishing, we are so grateful to be able to receive their gifts from God and to let God's light shine in our lives, through us more and more.

Another thought… just have to say again and send you more compliments!!!

The chakra oils are absolutely incredible and so powerful. The difference, when I don't wear them, is very obvious! Thank you so much for creating this and sharing it!

Also on a cheeky note: I think you are such a gorgeous and fantastic pair, it is such a delight to see you together!!!!! I appreciate it very much!

Big smiles and love, Sabine, Adelaide Australia, June 05

Over the last six months I have had energy working its way up my back causing stiffness and soreness whenever a blockage or constriction was encountered. This would build up to the point where, at times I could hardly walk. I would say ... one more shift at work and then it would be too much for me. On more than one occasion I had made up my mind to stop working altogether to give my back a chance to heal. Always I would make it to a top-up Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) and enough energy would be provided for me to go 1 more week or 1 more day.

With my fathers passing I have noticed that these energies moving up my spine have started to accelerate upward with less and less resistance. Today after the second round of energy transfers I felt I had another healing working directly on my back. Invisible hands were manipulating my spine back into place. I felt a click and now my back feels strong again.

Apart from that quite physical manifestation, I felt energy flooding my whole aura, washing away old energies and blockages. My mental state of being is now much more from the heart's enjoying the now in every situation and being at ease with myself and my universe. I feel more open and connected with others while at the same time, not allowing myself to take on the negativity of some of those around me.

Tom Haberkorn, Melbourne, June 05

***************************

During the chakra meditation in the morning, I felt a lot of energy flowing, circling around, within, and outside of my body. Usually I find this process quite tiring, but this time, after we breathed out at the end of each chakra, I could feel all this energy and lightness and joy rise up within me. Receiving the energy transfers also deepened this feeling and I felt my heart centre open with this Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as deeksha in the East) energy. It felt like an orgasm of the heart chakra! In my life in general, I find the effects of this energy to be very subtle so far. It is as though my life is still the same, I attract the same experiences, the same people as before, yet I seem to experience them with more acceptance. Two things I have experienced over and over in my life are inner loneliness and low self-esteem. I don't seem to experience inner loneliness as such any more and I find myself more and more really appreciating that part of me that experiences low self-esteem. It's as though I have come to love the part of me that doesn't love.

If painful emotions arise in me now, I allow myself to feel them and they seem to pass in and out fairly quickly. I still have attachments to such things as coffee and certain foods, like sugar, but I have experienced a dramatic healing of a particular health issue. For over 12 months I experienced endometriosis and for days would be doubled over in pain with this condition. Now I experience only slight normal period pain and no other discomfort and no mood swings... nothing... THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF MIRACULOUS.

This process is totally unlike anything I have ever experienced and I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have found it. Namaste.

"[After the 2^nd Oneness Blessing on the 1^st day of our 2 day OEIW in France] I lay down in Shavasana and saw a door and wondered who would appear if I opened it, so I opened it. First to appear was Zoroaster and he proclaimed Bhagavan and Amma to be divine. Then Mary Magdalene showed up and acknowledged Bhagavan and Amma’s divinity… The last feeling I had was Quetzaquatal who spoke on behalf of the tribal/indigenous peoples and he also recognised their mastery.

Before the 1^st Oneness Blessing started on the 2^nd day I had a sense of Bhagavan and Amma before us saying ye ha! and holding their arms up in joy that we were receiving Oneness Blessing. Then they showed me the golden ball as apples from a tree… so simple to eat and digest internally… After receiving the Oneness Blessing and lying down in Shavasana I saw a very strong chain with links which became golden… I saw an image of the chain spiraling to heaven and melting into the throne of God… I saw my recently departed mother in between Bhagavan and Amma and then I knew she’s OK. This image all turned into white light. Later I saw Bhagavan & Amma coming in on a single white horse together… then Amma turned sidesaddle & then backwards – to show how versatile/mutable they are. Then I saw them as Jesus and Mary and knew that whole aspect is/will be true." – Nancy Strachan, lightworker, networker, France.

"A lot of yellow light came in. Hard to describe how much light and how intense it was. I saw something wonderfully beautiful. Bhagavan arrived dressed in a shiny yellow robe. The room filled up with his energies and I saw how everybody reacted to it with joy. After the deep meditation and the 1^st Oneness Blessing I asked Bhagavan to show me the source of my soul. I saw a planet named Sun, one of the closest ones to the Creator’s Aura. The entities I saw there have an egg shape and are full of yellow light. They come and go, to and from the Creator’s Aura – energy drops in the shape of a teardrop. Afterwards I was taken to the Pleidians and then to planet Earth. Then Bhagavan and Amma came to me and together, on each side, they formed an arch that connected by a channel to the Sun. This yellow light came through me, down to the core of the Earth. Then the 3 of us became a gyrating yellow disc. They explained to me that this was a taste of where I came from.

On the 2^nd day there was a helper with Bhagavan and Amma and he helped them to cut off our Karma.

On the 4^th day I saw Amma come. She is leading the process today. She embraced Carol and gave her energies and said that it is so important to bring light to Israel. The Earth is also receiving that light here and the Earth itself here is becoming lighter. The feminine energies were strong and delicate and are easily absorbed." – Racheli Ingberg, Healer and Child Care worker, Israel.

"Hi Dear Friends… I have just completed my first Oneness Blessing workshop with Robert and Carol and am struggling to find the words to describe such an expansive and expanding experience.

Apart from Robert whom I had only met once before (at least this time around), the other people were new to me, yet they were not.

It was like meeting up with old friends - comfortable, warm, reassuring, familiar, and natural.

The predominant feelings for me were Peace & Joy. To mention the infectious runaway laughter only feebly describes the intense Joy and Divine Love that we were blessed with. Robert and Carol are amazing channels for Amma and Bhagavan's beautiful gift to humanity. A gift that comes from the Divine Source. It was abundantly obvious that we were in the company of a far greater circle of friends - a network of Light encircling the planet and beyond. What a supremely comforting and reassuring experience to feel and to know that you are not alone… so many willing hands to help and hearts to love. In these days of increasing delusion of separateness and isolation this is the balm that we seek and the remedy we need.

I went with an open mind not really knowing what to expect for myself but feeling that it was right for me. I got what I was looking for and I know that there'll still be a few more pleasant surprises in store in the weeks to come.

Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and ye shall find. Seek no further, dear friends. What you are looking for is here and now. Have no fear. There is no risk, only enrichment. Experience the Bliss but please do not take my word for it, feel it for yourselves… Come home, please!" - With Love, Iain MacLeod, GP, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Channel & Teacher, Adelaide

"In the preparation for receiving Oneness Blessing, I felt immense heat on my coccyx - a sensation I had not experienced before. Was this the kundalini starting to awaken? During Oneness Blessing I felt my third eye opening, and also felt peaceful and unified. Later I had a vision of Jesus with his disciples, which was very significant for me. There were other experiences too, but more importantly, I have noticed permanent changes in myself since the workshop. I know that my 'real' spiritual journey has begun even though I have not yet reached a permanent enlightened state." - Julie Horsfall, Maths Teacher, Adelaide

"As the energy of Bhagavan/Amma vibrated its way into my being through the opening created in the morning Oneness Blessing, I suddenly found myself simultaneously transported to a place & time surrounded by masses of people. They were all kneeling down with heads to the ground, in the presence of the same energy that that was in front of me during the Oneness Blessing - the energy that has manifested as Bhagavan. They were not bowing down in blind worship or fear but in absolute gratitude. "The world will know..., the world Will know!" reverberated through my being, and I knew it would - and soon." - Grant Horsfall, Bodyworker, former Professional Engineer in Department of Defence, Adelaide.

"Even before the actual workshop I was aware of changes occurring to my head in that preceding week. On some days it was quite painful and other days it was blissful. On the day before the workshop during a healing with another person I found myself saying "I want nothing, yet I embrace all this life has to offer." This was quite a revelation for me.

Before receiving the first Oneness Blessing in the meditation, Lord Sananda came to me and said quite clearly "death is not required any longer".

Then followed visions during and immediately after the Oneness Blessing where I saw a golden globe above the earth with 2 strands of spiraling light descending to earth and linking these dimensions. The light merged in India where Bhagavan and Amma "do their thing" and it seemed to me to be a perfect merging of masculine and feminine energies working as one. It also appeared that this work and this joy that we are immersing ourselves in is actually merging earth and the golden globe, which I interpreted as the "new earth". Nice feeling, nice vision!

Then Bhagavan came through at the end and said quite calmly "relax - this is a warm up". I had quite a giggle at this.

The second Oneness Blessing of the day was something else entirely. I seemed to lose muscular control of my body yet I was completely aware that I was fine and that this was necessary to allow another part of me to journey in other realms of light where physical / electrical changes were being made to my bodies. This is about the only way I can describe it. Whilst I was aware that my body here was "on hold" so to speak, I was simultaneously aware of the beautiful sensations of being immersed in that "higher light".

It took me ages to come back and when I finally did I felt physically lighter and more "graceful".

In the time following I have been doing higher levels of physical clearing than I have done in some time (trust me - I thought I had done most of my physical clearing!). There is also an underlying peace that has increased in awareness and body sensations during this time. There has also been significant movement with my son's energy (he is beginning to face and clear his anger and past life connections) and also some beginning of movement with my ex-partner who has begun to open up (finally) to me and is perhaps ready to let go of some of her fears she has been bottling.

I am glad that I did not have an expectation that it would "all happen at once". For me, this is definitely an unfolding process, only now it seems that I been bumped up into a new level of acceleration. In way I am glad I have got time to work through this stuff between workshops - 21 days might have been a bit too intense for me at this stage of my growth - we shall see!

With much love and anticipation." - Brenton Lane, bodyworker, healer, former defense & communications industry engineer, Adelaide

"When I heard about the OEIW, I knew that I had to participate, not because it aligned with an ideology of mine, but because it FELT right. I experienced many visions, which upon reflection now, seem quite symbolic. During the initiation I 'saw' a tree laden with golden fruit. Some of the fruit was eaten by people, but some fell to the ground where it became liquid gold, which penetrated the earth and waterways. Also, during the Oneness Blessing, I saw at my heart chakra, the most beautiful deep red rose after which I experienced what can be best described as an explosion in my heart. The feeling of love that resulted, I have never felt before and my heart remains as open. For this I am most grateful because the energy that flows through me now is enough to sustain me through the regular daily stresses. I also had a vision of Bhagavan who 'welcomed' me home - but the words cannot describe the immense joy and feeling of being embraced. Carol, Robert and Justin, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my soul's desire here on earth." - Rita Palmieri, Psychologist, Melbourne

My (Rita’s) 16 year old daughter Bianca had this to say about how she perceived me after the workshop, you may want to use it and if not I think it's great feedback for you both.

"The walls have crashed down, her eyes sparkle like she is not holding anything back. She is open and vulnerable. She loves now without limits, and when she smiles, I see in her face true happiness and joy. - Bianca."

"Hello dear friends… I’ve just finished my first Oneness Blessing Workshop. The energy was so wondrous and beautiful – peace, love, acceptance, joy and laughter. Robert and Carol were so human and loving, beautiful channels for Amma’s and Bhagavan’s divine love, as were the helpers Justin, Lesley and Anthony. The other participants felt like old friends too, even though I had never met them before. Miracles manifested to ensure the energy easily flowed.

After my first Oneness Blessing I was shaking with laughter at anything that was serious, deep and tragic, the opposite of my previous way of living. Then I went into witness consciousness, seeing my thoughts as leaves floating by on a stream. The next round of Oneness Blessings started with bliss, then turned to peace and love; my body became tired from the change to new consciousness. My feelings in the third and final round were more peace and love. I experienced exquisite, expanding energy in my heart chakra to answer my fears, and I know that this process was permanently embedded and would grow until completion – Bhagavan and Amma are gonna get ya!

Since the workshop I know I’ve permanently changed. I didn’t receive enlightenment this time, but whenever old issues or judgments arise they quickly fall away, driven to the surface for release and replaced by bliss. Whenever I feel love it’s far deeper and more intense than before; my healing energy is far more powerful.

Please take this chance to heal your suffering, dear ones.

With gratitude and love – Wolf Ringler, healer, Melbourne

The following is an account of the Oneness Blessing process that Robert Chamberlain March underwent from January 14 to February 3, 2004 at Golden City, Varadayapalem, Andhra Pradesh, south India.

Oneness Blessing Process of Amma Bhagavan

The Experience of Oneness Blessing of 2 Western Seekers

“Oneness is a state whereby you are totally and unconditionally free of your karma.

Karma = Mind

Before oneness, your mind was making use of your consciousness.

After oneness, your consciousness makes use of your mind.

Before oneness, the Mind was your master.

After oneness, you are the Master of the Mind.”

- Bhagavan

Bhagavan and Amma

I have been a spiritual seeker for the last 36 years. During that time I have been seeking enlightenment on the path of several Masters, for whom I feel infinite gratitude, as they have led me to Bhagavan.

We were not looking for a Guru or another Master, as my wife Carol Asher and I simply agreed to give some talks at the first Experience Festival at Varadayapalem, Andra Pradesh, India in August 2003 (see www.experiencefestival.com).

Shortly after accepting the invitation as a speaker at first Experience Festival, I had a dream in which I was at an unknown ashram and I was told that soon I would be burning away thousands of years of ignorance. Hearing this, of course, made me extremely happy.

After the Festival was over, the 20 or so Festival teachers had the opportunity to meet with Bhagavan. We all got to ask Him several questions. Our meeting lasted for nearly 2 hours. Bhagavan was very gracious with His time.

In His answer to my question asking Him if He was the mythical 10^th Avatar of Vishnu, the Bhagavan Avatar, He informed me that He makes no claims but that He was indeed an Avatar and that He could give me Enlightenment if I wanted it. His answer was so direct and forthcoming; it did not leave any room in me for doubt.

This promise led me back to Bhagavan's ashram for the tremendous privilege of being part of the first group of Westerners going through the 21 day Enlightenment Process beginning in January 2004.

One of the first things we [1] did was a process called Samskara Shudhi. It is done to remove (shudhi means to purify) the charges stored in our bodymind that continue to bring us pain and suffering (our samskaras). Many of the Samskara Shudhi processes involved getting in touch with the various pains and hurts of our lives. I certainly knew about them intellectually but during the process I had a hard time actually connecting with the painful emotions involved. The dasajis [2] leading us through the process told us we could ask for help. I had to consider this as I generally have a hard time asking for help. I decided to raise my arm and ask for help. Radhakrishna dasaji came over to my place on the floor. I told him that I intellectually knew about my pain but could not get in touch with the feelings involved. He told me to ask Amma and Bhagavan for help and he walked away. I can't remember if he touched me or not. Within seconds I began to cry. The locked up emotions were surfacing and the charges involved were being released.

I experienced this type of process… intellectually knowing of locked up emotions that I could not access… asking for help… receiving the touch and/or words of a dasaji… and having an emotional release… several times throughout the 3-day Samskara Shudhi process. All the locked up emotional charges stored in my bodymind, once accessed, were being washed away. I am very grateful to all the dasajis for their great ability to help us through with the Power and Grace of Amma and Bhagavan.

I remembered the words of Acharyaji [3] Sri Ananda Giri who told us that the essence of the Enlightenment Process is Power and Grace. He told us that we had nothing to do. We just had to trust and Amma and Bhagavan would do the rest.

Before the first [4] Oneness Blessing [5] from Bhagavan, we all had the privilege of receiving His Darshan [6]. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to prostrate before Him, and touch and kiss His Holy feet (surrender the ego self of separation at His feet).

We also had the opportunity of witnessing a Oneness Blessing He gave to a large group of Indian seekers. This was good for me to witness, as the process was certainly very unusual to view for the first time.

The Oneness Blessing dasajis all prostrated at His Holy feet and received the Oneness Blessing seed (Beejum), a golden ball of Light from the hands of Bhagavan. This seed was transferred to each seeker through the touch of the dasa's hands or through the Paduka [7] applied to the head of the seeker.

Many of the Oneness Blessing dasajis were in very high states before as well as after receiving the Beejum and some could hardly walk. Some laughed wildly and some made very loud ecstatic sounds. One has to see this to believe it.

Experiencing this was helpful for me so that when our group received our first Oneness Blessing I was able to let go and relax into the experience with my eyes closed.

Bhagavan was physically present for our first Oneness Blessing. During the next three initiations He was working energetically and was not physically present. Before receiving the Oneness Blessing we were instructed to shut our eyes and just relax and let go as much as possible.

After receiving all the blessings (the dasajis placed their hands on various parts of our head, sometimes hugged us, and sometimes kissed our third eye or Ajna chakra) from the 7 or so dasajis we were instructed to lie down in Shavasana [8].

After the Shavasana was over, I crawled over to Acharyaji, received some lehyam [9], and got up to walk to my room. We were instructed to rest but not to sleep. A dasaji was assigned to be with us and watch over us in our rooms.

I remember that the result of this first Oneness Blessing for me was intense bliss… waves and waves of intense bliss and love were sweeping over me. I felt like I had been drugged and remember asking Pragjnanaji (Pragyanand), the dasaji watching over me, if the lehyam was drugged. He said of course not. Later I felt like I was drunk. And there was a very intense feeling of kundalini in the back of my head at my occiput.

I went for 2 walks during the night. During the first one I put my head on the huge cut off branch of a mango tree near the front door of our apartment building. I wanted to merge with this tree. I really love mangos! The other walk was up and down the footpath just outside our apartment.

At one point, Pragjnanaji handed me a blessed Srimurthy [10]. I looked at it in my heightened state and immediately "rose" in love (as opposed to fell in love) with both Amma and Bhagavan.

The next day I had several experiences of seeing things in Nature clearly for the first time. I was really experiencing life all around me as a baby for the first time.

Later on I went through my first experience of doubt. I remember thinking that what had just happened during the first Oneness Blessing was all an illusion, that the dasajis were all just magicians merely vibrating our heads physically, and that Bhagavan was a fake. Fortunately, through Grace, these doubting thoughts quickly passed away.

After our second Homa [11], the Gayatri Homa, we received our 2nd Oneness Blessing. This Oneness Blessing was designed to open us up to going through the various Doors of Consciousness and experience various mystical states.

After receiving a very powerful Oneness Blessing I went back to my room. I was expecting to receive various mystical experiences, or at least one mystical experience, but the evening disappointingly proved to be very uneventful. All that I remember was that my dreams were somehow of a different quality.

Darshan with Amma the next day was also uneventful, although after the water blessing where Amma blessed water was poured on our crown chakras, I felt a nice rush of kundalini in my crown chakra.

Later that evening after a nap I had to go through the experience of lots and lots of negative thought forms flooding into my mind. I went through what seemed like a mini dark night of the soul experience. In the meditation hall later on I was still burdened with negativity, thinking this is all a hoax, this sucks, everyone is acting like sheep, etc., etc. Thank God this negativity was over soon as well.

The next day we had our third Oneness Blessing. Through the Grace of Bhagavan I went back into bliss and gratitude.

I remember 2 walks during this third post Oneness Blessing day. During the first walk I remember an experience with the sun. It was a cloudy day and the clouds were moving fast. I was able to look directly at the sun like I was looking at a full moon. I remember thinking that Bhagavan Himself was the sun. I was walking like a drunkard and slowly made my way over to the Kosmic Music Studios, where I noticed for the first time the figure on the roof of the entrance into the studios. It was a figure, which dispels darkness and negativity so that no darkness can enter the studio.

I walked back to my room, got on the bed in child's pose and remember just calling and calling and calling out the names of Amma Bhagavan.

My second walk was out onto the nearby lawn where a number of the men and dasajis had gathered. I walked up to Radhakrishnaji like a drunkard. He asked me in his booming voice, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" I told him I belonged here! A couple of the dasajis had a chuckle over my drunken response.

I sat down in a chair and looked at the moon and what I thought was Jupiter (it was very big). It was actually Venus I was looking at. I started to think of my natal astrological chart and the grand trine relationship in my chart between Jupiter, the moon and Pluto & Venus. Pluto and Venus are conjunct in my 8th house. The thought occurred to me that Bhagavan was Pluto and Amma was Venus. Bhagavan later confirmed this in my personal Darshan with Him.

I tried to eat something. The mind said I was hungry but I could not eat the food on my plate. I went back to my room. The feeling was intense. There was lots of kundalini in my brain. The thought occurred to me that Amma and Bhagavan were waiting for me my whole life!

There was immense gratitude, immense love for Amma Bhagavan in my heart. One Great Being in two beautiful forms!

At night, in a dream, I battled with the forces of ignorance. They were able to change form quickly but Bhagavan was always one step ahead of them. He was much faster, more powerful and the Light was the easy and sure winner!

The thought occurred to me that my beloved wife Carol would complete the enlightenment process 25 minutes after it began. This was also confirmed in my Darshan with Bhagavan! Praise Amma! Praise Bhagavan!

After the 4th Oneness Blessing I felt like the energy was sealed or completed. A song came into the Mind:

“Have you seen the Shakti, the Shakti, the Shakti?
Have you seen the Shakti, the Shakti Bhagavan?

Have you seen the Shakti, the Shakti, the Shakti?
Have you seen the Shakti, the Bhagavan?”

The knowing feeling comes that Amma Bhagavan are Unfathomable, Unbelievable, and Unending Infinite Grace!

Jai Jai, Victory, Victory to Amma Bhagavan!!!

*******************************

The following is an account of the Mukti Oneness Blessing process that Carol Anne Asher underwent from March 2 to March 22, 2004 at the Bhagavan Ashram, Varadayapalem, Andhra Pradesh, south India.

This is a long read but I hope you will enjoy it.

As some of you know, I have just come back from India, where I underwent an incredible and life transforming 21-day Enlightenment retreat.

Robert and I will be offering a Heart Awakening Oneness Workshop on May 30 at the Adelaide Healing Energy Centre in Prospect, sometime during the period of June 11-14 in Melbourne, and June 30 at La Val Dieu in France. Location in Melbourne to be announced.

We are now living in joy thanks to the blessing of two Mukti (Liberation) Avatars in India and we hope to share this blessing with you. Please read on!

Words will never be able to convey or describe all the miraculous events that took place during my process in India. However, I want to give you a short description of what I have experienced and how I am today, after the process.

It is impossible to explain and communicate to the mind what Enlightenment is. If you asked me what does the ‘enlightened state’ mean, or what does being ‘enlightened’ mean, I could not explain it – no words ever could. The state is definitely beyond human understanding and human concepts. Our physical brain is too limited! Besides that, every human being experiences the enlightened state differently. Buddha’s experience of enlightenment is not Jesus’ experience and it is not my experience or the many other Westerners’ experience who have gone through the process. It is said that if there are 6 billion people on the planet, that there will be 6 billion different states of enlightenment. So, to begin to understand the state of enlightenment, you will have to experience it for yourself.

However, one thing is common to all states, and that is the freedom from pain and suffering that happens as a result of becoming enlightened. Since I was a little girl, all I wanted was to be happy. To me that meant not feeling the emotional pain that I have felt ever since I can remember. This emotional pain seemed to accompany me wherever I went, and no matter what I did, no matter what therapy I undertook, the basic emotional pain was there. I could feel happy, peaceful, joyful and even blissed-out for a few minutes or for weeks or so, but inevitably the same old pain just kept on coming back. I came to realise that this pain was part of the human existence and that it collectively belonged to us all. I realised that to be born on this planet and to be human meant that pain and suffering was our lot.

As a result of this personal pain and the identification with humanity’s pain I developed all the healing modalities that you may know that I work with, including Sekhem Goddess Reiki, in an effort to help people feel better about themselves and to have a more joyous and wonderful life experience here on earth. My compassion and passion to help in this way has been the driving force in my life for over 20 years now.

This promise, that the enlightened state would give me the end to my suffering was the reason I went to India to do this process. I had no other real understanding beyond that, except for a few fantasies and concepts about enlightenment that I had from Robert and from a few others who went before me.

The process involved deep and very effective cleansing and purging of old traumas and emotions that had never been released before. Just that alone was a fabulous experience. My body feels lighter and there is not one spot or part of my body that feels stuck, or uncomfortable. I’ve lost a lot of ‘stuff’ held in my body and I know that it is gone for good. I now love my body! It feels wonderful!

During our Oneness Blessings I had many fabulous experiences. The initiation awakens the Kundalini and it rises and rushes through all the chakras. As a result I experienced many mystical states. Looking back I am grateful for all the years of preparation that I have undertaken, with my focus on cleansing and healing my chakras and energy bodies. Yeah! For Essential Oil Bath Therapies! Yeah! For Reiki! Yeah! For Flower Essence Therapy! These mystical states served to show me many truths about reality, or another way of putting it is to say that, during these states I got to experience what reality really is, and is not.

I experienced that my mind is not MY mind. Meaning, that all the thoughts that go on all the time in my head are not actually MY thoughts, they are thoughts that are just passing through from the collective mind that belongs to all of humanity. I used to think that they were my thoughts, but whether they are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ they are actually just the same old thoughts that everyone has. Experiencing this and realising this has given me such freedom. I am no longer afraid of my mind or of my thoughts. I am completely unattached to whatever happens in my mind. Whatever thoughts are there, are just passing through, whether they are positive or negative. I am no longer trying to change these thoughts; I no longer battle with unpleasant thoughts, because I do not identify my thoughts with who I am. So, I can just let them be there. They no longer mean anything else besides the fact that they are ONLY THOUGHTS. Who I am is not my mind or my thoughts. What liberation! I no longer have any pain or suffering as a result of my thoughts.

I feel as if I am an empty vessel and thoughts and feelings are just passing through me and I no longer identify myself with them. They have no power over me. It’s great to feel happy and it’s great to feel sad. However, feeling sad and feeling happy are not who I am. So, whatever I feel, in a sense, means nothing beyond the experience of the feeling, whatever it is.

I was told at the ashram that this state is a state termed by Buddhism as being empty. This is why I am calling it so. I would describe it as basically feeling nothing and that feelings that do come are just passing through me and filling me temporarily.

I’ve also noticed that things that used to upset me and disturb me no longer have that effect on me. It’s not a matter of letting go – there is nothing to let go of in the first place, there is nothing in me.

Nothing from the past upsets me or worries me. It’s as if the past has turned to dust. The past has absolutely no hold on me. My past experiences could actually belong to someone else- I wouldn’t know the difference. Your experiences could be mine and mine could be yours. It’s all the same.

Another way of experiencing the freedom from the mind is that I no longer care if my reality is real or not. I no longer care if my ‘truths’ are real or not. I experience this as non- attachment to my reality. So, I no longer have to defend who I am, how I experience life, or my thoughts and feelings.

I had many wonderful mystical experiences during my heightened states.

I got to experience the ‘matrix’ that all of humanity and the earth is plugged into – that of fear and doubt. We are all plugged into fear and doubt, which we try to escape through the mind. Fear and doubt hurt. Feeling them is a physically painful experience. However, it is the reality of human existence; we are all born into it. The mind tries to distract us from feeling this and acknowledging this, by all its chatter, i.e. it’s observations of life, it’s judgments, likes and dislikes, it’s great ideas that propel us to do this and do that, to make us feel temporary pleasure from certain activities and achievements, etc, etc. We fill in time and occupy ourselves with all sorts of activities in order to not feel our fear, our doubt, our disconnection and lack of trust in life and god. We even get caught up in the dramas of our life, of other people’s dramas, and that gives us a temporary sense of self, of value, and of feeling good or bad about ourselves, which is justified by the mind and keeps us constantly occupied and ‘caught up’.

Having this intense experience of the ‘matrix’, I now have an even greater understanding of the human condition and a greater passion to help us all to get out of it. I was told by the monk that was assisting me that this experience was given to me so that I would have more compassion for humanity.

On the other hand I had a wonderful experience of laughing non-stop for 4 hours for no reason. Part of that experience was being in the fairy tale land that I so loved connecting into during my childhood, and just opening my heart again to all the fabulous ‘imaginary’ characters that I so loved. I got to experience that they are not fiction, that they are actually real. They reside in another dimension, and the writers of children’s’ stories and their illustrators are actually tapping into a real world and bringing it into our world. I saw how important it is to keep our childrens’ imaginations alive and to keep their hearts open to these worlds. It keeps their hearts and minds open to miracles and wonderful events.

Another great experience that I had was the realisation that all waters on the planet are the body of Amma, the Great Mother/Mother Goddess. Water makes up 80% of our physical bodies – all of us are naturally so connected to the Mother, we are physically made up of her body. In reality there is no separation between us, only the mind separates us. Feeling that my body is the body of the Goddess has given me an even deeper feeling of love and respect for my physical body as it is. This has nothing to do with the size or the shape of my body; it has to do with matter itself.

I also had the experience of being able to access anything anywhere in the universe in my body. I realised that my physical body contained the whole world in it, I am not disconnected from anything, and all is within me. I now cherish this body!

I got to experience smelling essential oils during one of my heightened states. I experienced that just one sniff of essential oil has such a profound and immediate effect on our bodies. I was able to follow the essential oil molecules up my nose and into the brain, down my oesophagus and into my lungs and experience the many changes that happened instantly to my chakras. Now I know that we should never underestimate the power of essential oils! They hold incredible power! Just one whiff is power packed with incredible healing powers!

I had the experience of becoming one with the earth, one with living and so called ‘non-living’ things. I experienced that everything is alive and has consciousness and that the way to relate and connect with all things is through love and gratitude.

The way to experience the ‘Oneness’ state is through love and gratitude.

Every Initiation gave me more wonderful experiences. I am so grateful for all these gifts that were given to me.

Becoming enlightened is definitely the end of a journey. It is the end of thousands of lifetimes of pain and suffering, whilst trying to get closer to god. It is a state where one gets off the wheel of Karma for good. It is also a beginning, the beginning of experiencing one’s true spiritual life. It is so clear to me, more that ever before, that my purpose on earth is to serve god and to help humanity get off the wheel of karma and become liberated.

This whole incredible experience was given to me and made possible by Sri Bhagavan and his wife Amma. Robert and I had met Sri Bhagavan last August when we went to India to teach at the Experience Festival. This was the first time that we had heard about him. This is when he told us directly that his sole purpose on earth is to give humanity the gift of oneness. We believed him and waited for the first retreats to be opened up to Westerners. As far as I am concerned he is a great Avatar and a human incarnation of God. However, he has no investment in anyone believing anything about him, he has no interest in becoming anyone’s Guru, and he insists on enlightening people regardless of their religion, race, gender etc. He offers enlightenment to everyone and anyone who wants it. You can have the experience of any form of God giving you the enlightenment, and if you are an atheist, you can still become enlightened without a belief in God!

At the end of our retreat, after our own enlightenment process was ‘successful’, we were all given the gift of being channels to pass on this enlightenment initiation to other people.

This is the purpose of this letter – to invite you to receive the initiation and become enlightened as well!!!

As I said, Robert and I started the process of giving Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer to others on May 30^th, 2004.

All you need in order to receive the Oneness Blessing is to be aware of your suffering and to want to end it, and to want to be enlightened! We will do the rest! It does not matter how ‘advanced’ you are on the spiritual path, or what your personal belief system is. All are welcome.

We will be giving 1-2 day Oneness workshops/retreats that will be repeated bi-monthly. The Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer is actually more powerful the larger the group is. More energy is released in larger groups of people. So, as more people join in with those who are coming back for more, the greater the whole experience will be for everybody involved. It is in everybody’s interest that the group be large. ‘The more, the merrier’. So, those of you that really want this, please let your friends & family know, so that they can join in.

The cost per workshop is $100 for 1 day events and $185 for 2 day events.

Let us know if you want to be part of this exciting process. My email is casher@tpg.com.au, or you can call us on +61 8-8379 1331. We have a flyer with registration form we can post or email to you at your request.

If you are inspired by this email to go to India and do the 21-day process our web address is http://www.bhagavandharma.org/21_day_process.htm for the 21-Day Process page.

I hope to see you soon and to be of service to you,

Many Blessings,

Shreshta Carol Asher
