<description><![CDATA[You are a creative being. You are a creator. You create. You do this all day long every day, every m]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://secretdesigncreations.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/100_7752.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border-width:0;" title="100_7752" border="0" alt="100_7752" src="http://secretdesigncreations.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/100_7752_thumb.jpg?w=131&#038;h=156" width="131" height="156" /></a> </p>
<p>You are a creative being. You are a creator. You create. You do this all day long every day, every minute. </p>
<p>Now you might not be aware of it but each thought expressed into <a class="zem_slink" title="Emotion" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion" rel="wikipedia">emotions</a> and spoken out loud by words brings forth molecules to create that very thing for you to experience. </p>
<p>This is a powerful truth. Once you grab hold of this and accept that you are the one bringing things, people, experiences, into your life to interact with it&#8217;s a simple step to begin being aware of what you are doing. </p>
<p>Most people create without any awareness whatsoever. They don&#8217;t connect the dots between thinking, feeling, doing.. and getting. This is why it&#8217;s so popular to blame others, family, friends, employer, government for what&#8217;s “wrong” in life. </p>
<p>The real deal is this.. you are the power behind everything that you experience. It all started out as a small thought that you added emotion to and spoke into existence. You didn&#8217;t realize you were creating but creating you were and still are. </p>
<p>In order to experience something different from what you&#8217;ve had so far something obviously must change. The common behavior is to try to wrestle with situations and people and force them to line up differently. This doesn&#8217;t work. It only brings about more of the same energy; something to wrestle with and fight against. </p>
<p>Here is the truth. You are a creator.. created in the image and likeness of Creator. Whether you believe this or not doesn&#8217;t matter.. to me or to Creator. Facts are facts, truth is truth and you can deny it if you want to but it will not change anything. You create out of the natural state of your Being.. that which you are. Your thoughts are powerful. Your emotions are powerful. When these thoughts are said out loud they become things. Some may take a while especially if you are not very passionate about them, but they will become things. In order for you to change what you&#8217;ve been bringing forth you have to start at the beginning&#8230; thought. </p>
<p>Thoughts are generally connected to beliefs about things that you think about. You believe life to be a certain way and all your thoughts are in vibrational alignment with that <a class="zem_slink" title="Belief" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belief" rel="wikipedia">belief</a>. Most of the time you are not even aware that the beliefs are connected to thought, emotion, action and created circumstances. You just go on as you&#8217;ve always done, as though before you told and showed you and create without much awareness always finding someone else to blame for how crappy some part of your life experience is. </p>
<p>Now is the time to change that. Lots of people talk with me each week about how the in laws, spouse, kids, neighbors are their problem. It&#8217;s never the other person. It&#8217;s always YOU. The reason for this is that you are the one that like a magnet, brings all these things and people into your life. You are the common denominator, the energy behind your experiences. </p>
<p>When you are really tired of the same old way of living that&#8217;s just not doing it for you things will begin to change. In the beginning you will start to notice how the thoughts and feelings are showing up as things. Then you will start to shift your thinking, taking note of old thoughts connected to beliefs. You will shift more quickly as you practice being aware. One day you will realize that through a process of small shifts things in your life are different..that you are different. Your experiences are like a mirror that reflect what&#8217;s going on inside of you. It&#8217;s an accurate way to intuit what you really believe and think. When you are not liking what&#8217;s outside you and realize these you can begin with awareness to shift your inner self into the person you wish to experience yourself as Being. It&#8217;s all about state of Being. You can not experience something outside yourself without it being a reflection of the inner self. </p>
<p>My writing is an outer <a class="zem_slink" title="Gene expression" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_expression" rel="wikipedia">expression</a> of what&#8217;s inside me. My jewelry, dream catchers, home, lawn, all are reflections of how I express myself to Be. This is true for you as well. You can not stop creating, reflecting your inner self in the outer world, you can however change the inner and watch in amazement as the experiences line up as perfect reflections of who you are expressing and believing yourself to BE. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve had my own troubles and problems in finding friends, making friends, choosing them and even dealing with them after befriending them. I&#8217;ve often wondered what is the criteria one shud use to pick friends? I wish There was some book or guide to help us out on this.</p>
<p>But, in spite of a lot of brain-work I&#8217;ve not been successful enough to find a solution for this.<br />
But, I see a lot of people who think &#8220;Secret keeping&#8221; should be a major reason! People say, one who can save your secrets and keep them, can be your best friend too. He is someone whom you can trust. Someone whom you can rely upon. Someone whom you can cry out to.</p>
<p>And, on later thoughts I thought it was true. But ultimately, is that why you have a best friend? Is your best friend, your secret keeper.? Isn&#8217;t there more to friendship than sharing secrets?</p>
<p>Is that person your friend or your secret keeper?</p>
<p>I, personally feel, yes it is one of the may things you should consider. but, treat your friend more as a human than as a tool or a basin where you can pour out your secrets. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Whatsay?</p>
<p>(This post has been hold for months together now. I actually wanted to write a lot more elaborately on this. but, time has stolen away the thoughts along with it. I&#8217;ve not written a major portion of what I initially intended to write. All I remembered is that, I&#8217;ve promised my blog, a post like this. And, for its sake, the post is here. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll have times when I&#8217;ll contemplate about these things in the future. I hope I&#8217;ll be able to revive the thoughts then. And, surely I&#8217;ll make sure to have my post here..)</p>

</strong></span><br />
Have you ever tried to figure out how to get to that Secret Place? Wow. Not many reach it. Abraham and Moses did, and surely Enoch did a&#8230;s well. It is a place without fear, where failure is no option. It is complete victory.</p>
<p>It is a peaceful place, our special hiding place, a sanctuary. It surrounds us with safety, protection, security, and empowerment. It allows us to be built up, strengthened, edified, refreshed, rejuvenated, encouraged, satisfied, and rested.</p>
<p>There we never thirst or hunger, and our every need is fulfilled. This Secret Place is complete trust and fellowship in God. It is a place unlike anything the world can give us. <span style="color:#ff0000;">Psalms 91:2 &#8211; I will say of the Lord, &#8220;He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.&#8221;</span><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><b>Buy Cheap  Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-time Eater  </b><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1594202311?tag=best_prices-20"><img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41yKvr1RgmL.jpg' height='300'></a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1594202311?tag=best_prices-20"><font size="5"><b>Buy  Low Price From Here Now </b></font></a><br /><b>The<i> New York Times</i> restaurant critic&#8217;s heartbreaking and hilarious account of how he learned to love food just enough after decades of wrestling with his weight</b></p>
<p>    Frank Bruni was born round. Round as in stout, chubby, and hungry, always and endlessly hungry. He grew up in a big, loud Italian family in White Plains, New York, where meals were epic, outsize affairs. At those meals, he demonstrated one of his foremost qualifications for his future career: an epic, outsize appetite for food. But his relationship with eating was tricky, and his difficulties with managing it began early. </p>
<p>  When he was named the restaurant critic for the <i>New York Times</i> in 2004, he knew enough to be nervous. He would be performing one of the most closely watched tasks in the epicurean universe; a bumpy ride was inevitable, especially for someone whose writing beforehand had focused on politics, presidential campaigns, and the Pope.  </p>
<p>  But as he tackled his new role as one of the most loved and hated tastemakers in the New York restaurant world, he also had to make sense of a decades-long love-hate affair with food, which had been his enemy as well as his friend. Now heâd have to face down this enemy at meal after indulgent meal. His Italian grandmother had often said, &#8220;Born round, you donât die square.&#8221; Would he fall back into his worst old habits? Or had he established a truce with the food on his plate? </p>
<p>  In tracing the highly unusual path Bruni traveled to become a restaurant critic, <i>Born Round</i> tells the captivating story of an unpredictable journalistic odyssey and provides an unflinching account of one personâs tumultuous, often painful lifelong struggle with his weight. How does a committed eater embrace food without being undone by it? <i>Born Round</i> will speak to every hungry hedonist who has ever had to rein in an appetite to avoid letting out a waistband, and it will delight anyone interested in matters of family, matters of the heart, and the big role food plays in both. </p>

<p>&#160;<span class="rating">&#8220;Born round and born to write&#8221;</span>&#160;<span class="reviewdate">2009-11-20</span><br />By <b>G. C. Drummond</b> (Tucson, AZ)<br />Frank Bruni&#8217;s childhood and many of his adult years were dominated by an obsession with food and a paranoia about body image.<br />
<br />He glides through these years with humour, wit and a page-turning style that not only shed light on the delicate issues of overeating and self-love/loathing, but lift the lid on what it&#8217;s like to work on one of America&#8217;s top newspapers, the New York Times. (Ironically, he ended up being their restaurant critic.)<br />
<br />There&#8217;s nothing new in how he learned to eat sensibly, but his journey is fascinating.<br />
<br />A clever, funny and very very touching read.</p>

<p>&#160;<span class="rating">&#8220;A &#8220;sweet and delicious&#8221; read&#8221;</span>&#160;<span class="reviewdate">2009-11-16</span><br />By <b>groupworker</b> (Midwest United States)<br />I know it&#8217;s a special book when I am convinced that the author would want to have dinner with me to learn why I enjoyed his book!  Was he imagining a conversation with each reader as he wrote these words?  Can we talk about eating a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and then spending 45 minutes on the eliptical?  Or whether to take out the skinny jeans or fat jeans?  Or&#8230;(you get the idea). </p>
<p>Frank&#8217;s memoir was engaging and touching.  While obviously obsessive and self-indulgent, perhaps those were the exact parts that best helped the reader relate to Frank&#8217;s challenges with food, family, work, relationships and issues of self-esteem. </p>
<p>While he takes his work, family and friends seriously, Frank never takes himself too seriously and that&#8217;s what keeps the reader engaged.  He adds humor to both the sad &#38; touching parts as well as to the memories that seem somewhat crazy in retrospect. </p>
<p>Perhaps the book felt more like several lengthy magazine articles, rather than a flowing memoir.  However, it was a &#8220;juicy&#8221; read. I will definitely encourage a few other food obsessed friends to read Frank&#8217;s honest journey &#8211; and hope that will also be inspired by his path to self-understanding.</p>

<p>&#160;<span class="rating">&#8220;A top pick for health and culinary libraries alike&#8221;</span>&#160;<span class="reviewdate">2009-11-13</span><br />By <b>Midwest Book Review</b> (Oregon, WI USA)<br />Author Frank Bruni was working as a bureau chief for the New York Times in Rome when he was called upon to become a restaurant critic &#8211; job that challenged him to not become fat again. This story of his struggle with food and weight (and with a new job that required him to taste food as a profession) makes for a fine memoir and is a top pick for health and culinary libraries alike.</p>

<p>&#160;<span class="rating">&#8220;A delightful book in many ways . . .&#8221;</span>&#160;<span class="reviewdate">2009-11-06</span><br />By <b>David Zampino</b> (Delavan, Wisconsin)<br />. . . with some flaws which may disappoint some.</p>
<p>First, let me state up front:  Frank Bruni is two things.  First, he&#8217;s a very funny person.  Second, he&#8217;s quite the story teller.</p>
<p>Second, let me also state up front:  For those readers hoping for &#8220;inside tips&#8221; on being a dining critic &#8212; you&#8217;re likely to be disappointed.  Mr. Bruni&#8217;s career as the New York Times restaurant critic really takes up only a small part of the book.</p>
<p>Most of this book is a biographical sketch of Mr. Bruni&#8217;s life, as he states it, &#8220;Born Round&#8221;.  Here&#8217;s a guy who loves to eat &#8212; and always has, and thus, has continuously had to deal with the &#8220;battle of the bulge&#8221;.  Having an Italian background myself, I honestly found myself laughing out loud at the antics of his mom (and other relatives) as they planned major family feasts with an eye to detail that would have impressed Rommel in the desert!  It is obvious to this reviewer that not only does Mr. Bruni love food; he dearly loves his family as well &#8212; and cannot separate the two.  (And this is NOT a criticism!)</p>
<p>Two mild criticisms:  1)  At various points in his life, in order to attempt to control his weight, Mr. Bruni engaged in behaviors which ranged from the illegal (use of amphetamines) to downright dangerous, even self destructive (what appears to be borderline bulimia).  While I certainly understand his struggles (I, myself, am, shall we say, round in the ol&#8217; tum!) his behaviors certainly should not be emulated.  2)  Mr. Bruni spent far too much time in the book discussing his successful and (mostly) unsuccessful personal relationships.  To me, this added nothing to the book (ranging from the &#8220;I really don&#8217;t care&#8221; to &#8220;Way too much information&#8221;.)  The book would certainly been just as successful with this element.</p>
<p>But overall, a truly warm and delightful book.  I wish all restaurant critics had his sense of humor and his storytelling abilities. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS SHOCKING STORY IN THE U.S. MEDIA?&#8230;..ABSOLUTELY NOT!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>The following article is almost unbelievable and potentially deadly for our nation.  And while it poses a very serious and detrimental danger to the United States, I have not heard anything about it from the mainstream media. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>The information was obtained from Israel National News and is located at </strong>http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/134466<strong>, which thankfully to the Lord, DOES NOT worship Barack Obama nor props him up on some sort of throne.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>With that said, take a look at what they have discovered about the guy sitting in the White House. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Obama ‘Reaches Out’ by Naming ‘Devout’ Muslims to Security Posts</strong></p>
<p>by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu</p>
<p>(IsraelNN.com) U.S. President Barack Obama continues to “reach out to Muslims” by appointing them to key security posts amid charges he wrongly ignored internal Muslim terror. One recent appointee was harshly criticized for appearing on a British-based television station whose host is a member of a radical Muslim group.</p>
<p>His “reaching out Muslims” speech in Cairo last June has been followed by action, the latest being this past week&#8217;s swearing-in of a Muslim rights advocate to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, shortly after the Fort Hood massacre. HSAC members are involved in expertise on national security.</p>
<p>The new member is Syrian-born Kareem Shora, who was the national executive director of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination (ADC), which previously has called on the United States to stop providing Israel with weapons because of alleged “atrocities” against Arabs. Her background for her new security post is having been a legal counsel and advocate for Muslim civil rights.</p>
<p>She also has been a frequent guest on the pro-Hamas <em>al-Jazeera</em> satellite network.</p>
<p>Shora, who has been described as a “devout Muslim, joins another devout member of the faith, Arif Alikhan, who was appointed as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the Department of Homeland Security. His qualifications for the job were listed as having been in charge of public safety in Los Angeles during his term of deputy mayor. One of his actions was to remove the plan that tracked Muslims in the city who were suspected of terrorist activities.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/static/blogs/20091117034229.jpg" alt="" align="left" />Americans have been jolted by several lethal attacks and confrontations with Muslims over the past year, including a plot to attack synagogues and down U.S. military aircraft, the manufacture of bombs, an alleged attempt to explode a Texas skyscraper, a plot to blow up malls in Boston, and last month’s Fort Hood massacre by a Muslim psychiatrist who was an officer in the army.</p>
<p>A desire to avoid the appearance of labeling all Muslims as terrorists lunged out from the shadows last month after President Obama faced criticism for not taking seriously the threat of Muslim terrorism within American society as well as in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.</p>
<p>Several months ago, President Obama appointed Dalia Mogahed, a “devout Muslim,” to his Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. She quickly came under fire for appearing in a telephone interview on a London-based Muslim television station, whose host is a member of an extreme Islamic group.</p>
<p>She said was unaware of the affiliations of her host, whose program included questions and comments favoring the implementation of Islamic Law (“sharia”).</p>
<p>Mogahed explained that she did not hang up the phone in the middle of the interview because &#8220;I assumed that very few people would watch this show but that doing something more dramatic would bring more attention.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the current issue of <em>Newsweek</em>, columnist Jacob Weisberg, citing former Secretary of State Colin Powell, wrote that “Obama&#8217;s [Muslim] heritage feeds a broader suspicion that he is too casual about the threat from America&#8217;s Islamist enemies.”</p>
<p>The journalist added, “With the massacre in Texas, Obama now confronts something that George W. Bush did not face in the years after September 11—not just a major act of domestic terrorism, but one struck from inside our security apparatus…. America does not face a threat from the perversion of faith in general. We face a threat from the perversion of one faith in particular.”</p>
<p>End</p>
<p><strong>I want to encourage all of you to pray and to draw ever so close to the Son of the Living God, the LORD JESUS CHRIST&#8230;&#8230;THE <span style="text-decoration:underline;">ONLY</span> SAVIOR.</strong></p>
<p>By all appearances, judgment seems to be heading for the United States of America.  As a watchman giving warning, I am urging everyone who is reading this to please follow the Lord&#8217;s Word from Isaiah chapter 55 verses 6-7 which is as follows:</p>
<p><strong><em>Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon</em></strong>.</p>
<p>May we all take heed to this warning while we still have the chance, because a time <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>is</strong></span> coming when we will not.</p>

<p><i><span style="color:rgb(119,44,113);">I’ve kept this talk on my computer for some time but hesitated to reproduce it here on my blog. I have done so for the occasion of Sai Baba’s Birthday, and for the benefit of all those now elderly devotees who enjoyed close darshans&#160; and a personal relationship with Sai Baba, way back in the 1980s-1990’s. What an exciting time it was for them.&#160; Here in this talk, Mr. Tigrett talks about “The Secret Life of Plants,” (a book which is&#160; one of my favourites), his young life , The Hard Rock Cafe, how he came to meet&#160; Sathya Sai Baba and the S.S. hospital.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="color:rgb(119,44,113);">Several&#160; years ago I re-bought the book<b>, The Secret Life of Plants. </b> I intended to keep it. I had no idea that the book rights&#160;&#160; had&#160; belonged to Mr.Tigrett way back in the 1970s. However, once I read this talk, I decided on my next visit to Prashanti, to give the book to Mr. Tigrett. On my visit last year, I did indeed, take the book, Secret Life of Plants with me to Puttaparthi.&#160;&#160; Being shy, I decided to leave the book with the Puttaparthi swimming pool attendant, for him to pass&#160; on to Mr. Tigrett. I hoped the book would be signed by him and given to the&#160; Shanti Library, located in the heart of Puttaparthi.&#160; I understand the book was passed on to Isaac, but have no idea what happened to it. I wanted as I’ve already stated, to ask Isaac to donate the book to the library,but never had enough courage to do so and he was hardly ever out in the crowd.<br />

by Mr. Tigrett …..this is not something that he would have intended to be<br />
transcribed word for word. Also, the spoken language has lot of other signals<br />
such as tone, speed, facial expressions , hand movements, etc that cannot be<br />
conveyed by a text document , as is presented here. Therefore , please do not<br />
ascribe errors of language to Mr. Tigrett …. that would be grossly unfair to<br />
him.<br />

<h2><span style="color:rgb(93,55,90);"><b>The Talk begins:</b></span></h2>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">It was a fabulous conference . It went on for about a week . There were two<br />
thousand delegates from around the world .. these were all the spiritual<br />
leaders from around the world …. . all of the parliamentarians from around<br />
the world …. Senator Albert Gore spoke there …. the prime minister<br />
of Norway …. . the …. all kinds of wonderful wonderful speakers.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">…. and Sai Baba in fact told me …. he said ” Now I don ‘ t want you<br />
running around doing what you usually do , trying to organise everybody ….<br />
so I want you to stay in your room and be ready to speak “. The only way I could<br />
interpret this is that I would probably meet someone there at the conference<br />
….. .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">…. and this is very important because I think this is the way Sai wants us<br />
to speak to everyone …. to wait and look and be available to let him speak<br />
through you to someone …. so I went to my room and I was …. just sort<br />
of meditated and I didn’t go out and scurry about like I usually do ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">The conference went on for a week . It was dynamic …. some of the greatest<br />
speakers in the world and at the closing ceremonies .. the head of the<br />
organisation came up to me and said, ” We want you to speak , Isaac”. ….<br />
so …. I was terrified , like I am now …. and …. except for few<br />
little notes …. I just stood up in front of this massive group with a<br />
global audience …. it was being transmitted by satellite …. and asked<br />
Swami to speak through me …. and He gave a miraculous speech …. all about<br />
love</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">It was really funny …. about a year later I was blessed to be in His<br />
presence …. and there was some other gentleman there …. . and He spoke<br />
about the conference …. . and told everybody about the conference and how He<br />
gave this discourse on love through me and how nervous I was at the beginning ,<br />
but better towards the end …. so hopefully I would do the same today.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I want to thank Michael Hollander . I have to tell you , I’ve never been more<br />
terrified than the first time I met Michael Hollander . I was wearing black<br />
and I do wear black on occasion , obviously this was the wrong occasion . he<br />
came right up to me and scared the daylights out of me …. and that was back<br />
in 1975 …. I guess …. something like that . he is a very wonderful man<br />
.. he’s a great Sai devotee …. as we all knew …. . who worked with him<br />
….. and I feel blessed to know him.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Ceilings of desires is sort of funny because I’ve got all of them and there’s<br />
no ceiling at all! …. . I guess …. what I thought I would do today<br />
….. is to talk about …. I guess ..the only subject I know fairly well<br />
….. which is myself and sort of tell you my story.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I’m from Jackson Tennessee , which is a small country town between Nashville and<br />
Memphis Tennessee . I was raised there till about the age of fifteen and then I<br />
went to England . my mother and father were separated …. he went to England<br />
…. he had businesses there and I was blessed to go there.</span></b></p>

<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I started a business when I was nineteen which I called the Hard Rock Cafe . I<br />
was a devout devotee of Jimmy Hendrix and ???? and Zed Zeppelin and several<br />
other fellows …. . which I still am actually …. I think they are<br />
fantastic …. and I started this businesses . The Lord blessed me with<br />
phenomenal success …. beyond my wildest dreams ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">…. In fact there are many people who …. later as I became a Sai<br />
devotee .. I worried constantly …. I wasn’t very popular in groups such as<br />
this …. mainly because people felt like that …. you …. know …. a<br />
bunch of rock and roll …. and drugs …. and crazy stuff …. and it was<br />
…. but you know …. Sai is not going to be in a place like that (? and<br />
he’s not going to be using someone like that) …. and I worried about it a<br />
great deal for many many years . I can only tell you that subsequent to Sai<br />
being so wonderful and calling me in and now spending so much time with me<br />
….. which I am blessed to be able to do …. …. he’s told me that the<br />
Hard Rock Cafe was his …. which I knew …. . which I knew. you may know<br />
that there is a picture of Sai Baba in every Hard Rock Cafe and it’s very<br />
interesting , he said that it was an “oasis of light in a sea of darkness”<br />
….. and I feel that that is really what all of us are …. and should be<br />
….. in this Kali Yuga …. . a beacon for him .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">It was a fabulous time for me .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">…. Eventually I was blessed to buy the rights to a book . I’ve been<br />
receiving metaphysical sort of visitations since I was about thirteen years old<br />
and I got one of these visitations which said , ” Buy the Secret Life of<br />
Plants.” I didn’t know what this was . I was about 23 years old …. . I<br />
think …. at the time. Newsweek magazine, at about two three weeks later,<br />
here in the book section ,which I avidly read , there was a book that had come<br />
out about parapsychology and psychic phenomenon , whose name was the “Secret<br />
Life of Plants” by Christopher Bird and Peter Tompkins . This was 1973. I<br />
immediately called up the authors and said , “I would like to buy the<br />
theatrical rights to your book because it’s a subject that’s very near and dear<br />
to me.”</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I had been receiving sort of psychic experiences from about thirteen years old<br />
….. . and was terrified at the beginning …. didn’t understand it …. it<br />
was actually a preacher named Norman Vincent P ???? of New York City, who’s a<br />
friend of my family’s , who put me on the path originally and explained to my<br />
parents (and to me ) that I wasn’t insane , because I certainly felt that I was<br />
going insane at that time when things not of your own making come into your<br />
consciousness …. it’s difficult . Now I know that that’s exactly where we<br />
all should really be !</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">It was very interesting . I bought the rights to this book (Secret Life of<br />
Plants). I called these authors and the guys said , “Oh Mr. Tigrett …. I<br />
can’t believe that you want this …. this is a complete failure.” this book<br />
…. Harpers and Row had published this …. it had been their big Christmas<br />
book …. it had been received very poorly …. in fact the article that I<br />
had read was very down on the whole subject of phenomenon ..and I said , ” I<br />
don’t care …. I know I am supposed to buy that theatrical rights from you.”<br />
….. and I did for practically no money whatsoever …. over the telephone.<br />
six weeks later it hit the New York Times bestseller list. it stayed there for<br />
fifty seven weeks …. and the next thing I knew, I was one of the most<br />
popular guys in Hollywood for a very short period of time …. and a …. it<br />
was really quite fantastic …. it took me to California ..and Warner Brothers<br />
…. I made a distribution deal with …. and I was blessed to then go out<br />
with …. Steve Wonder became my partner ..and production of it …. he is a<br />
very spiritual gentleman and ..was very blessed …. he did the sound track to<br />
the …. film which is an album …. relatively unknown album that he did<br />
called the “Secret Life of Plants” …. and we went on a journey around the<br />
world for about a year nine months …. as we were writing the screenplay<br />
….. to research all the phenomenon on the planet which this book had been<br />
written about …. we went to places like the ????? institute , Virginia Beach<br />
…. we went the University of California, in Southern California …. where<br />
they had parapsychology department …. John Hopkins …. Duke …. I<br />
remember going down to Mexico, they had a gentleman there who actually was an<br />
indigent street gentleman who could take Polaroid film and put it up on his<br />
forehead and make any type of photograph appear . If you wanted a picture of<br />
the New York City skyline with J.F.K. silhouette over the top ..he would do it<br />
for you …. in fact he would do it primarily for alcohol ..and I remember<br />
distinctly that later on in the day , the buildings would start to slant a<br />
little bit …. he was pretty exciting ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">But this journey eventually took me to the mother ship of phenomenon,&#160; India.<br />
I was, in fact, in a hotel in a place called<br />
Aurangabhad …. which is in the North …. and something started coming<br />
into my consciousness …. and said ” I’ve been waiting for you … you come<br />
!” …. I am looking around this hotel lobby …. and there was no one there<br />
except people scurrying about …. I heard this voice again …. I realised<br />
that it was my inner voice speaking to me quite loudly and I looked up and there<br />
was a photograph of Sri Sathya Sai Baba . I asked someone who this was ….<br />
he ‘d not even been on my list of masters to visit in India , of course ….<br />
and they told me that his was their national treasure . I knew that that was<br />
the master that I had been searching for …. for many many years …. or<br />
suspected it …. and got onto a plane and went down to …. Whitefield<br />
actually .</span></b></p>

</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">There were …. it was a Sunday …. there were probably the usual thousand or<br />
so people there and I sat back on the wall ….. if I didn’t sit , I stood<br />
….. dressed in black of course and Sai Baba came out and he parted the crowd<br />
and walked right up to the wall where I was standing …. and I had seen him<br />
move his hand for a few people ..and they put their hands out …. so I<br />
thought that that was what I was supposed to do . He made vibhuthi for me and<br />
that began my association with Sathya Sai Baba …. that was 1973 ..in fact,<br />
he said to me ,”eat it … very good ” so I did ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">…. . And I didn’t speak to him again from 1973, although I went there<br />
every year . I would spend a couple of weeks …. sometimes a month ….<br />
sometimes longer …. between 1973 and 1989 …. in fact , it’s sort of<br />
interesting. I became sort of the ashram joke …. to a degree …. it’s so<br />
funny, you go there …. and those of you who’ve been there know ..that<br />
everyone is totally preoccupied with getting an interview …. their egos ….<br />
I mean …. as they say it’s like doing your dirty laundry being at<br />
Puttaparthi …. and it certainly is …. people are certainly regurgitating<br />
all ceilings of desires …. if there’s such a thing there …. and it was<br />
quite phenomenal whenever someone was going through a traumatic state ..which<br />
seems to be a regular thing there …. they would wheel me out because I was<br />
the guy who that hadn’t had an interview …. or a glance …. or a look ..or<br />
a word … for 5 years …. 8 years …. 12 years …. and eventually 15 years<br />
that I spent going there without a glance from Shri Sathya Sai Baba …. but I<br />
knew who he was and that was all that was necessary . I still , to this day, am<br />
mystified …. why it’s even necessary to talk to him …. or why he really<br />
wants me to be there for him to talk to …. it’s totally unnecessary because<br />
he is not what he appears to be at all . He is much more dynamic than a little<br />
man with furry hair running around building hospitals and universities ….<br />
and I mean that quite seriously …. it’s a …. I’ll never forget those<br />
years …. it was so fantastic …. I guess …. it was in fact my dear<br />
friend Michael Hollander , who kept saying ,” Hang in there Isaac! hang in<br />
there! hang in there !” …. and it was always a great comfort to see him<br />
there , as I did , many many times over the years ….</span></b></p>

<h6 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(93,53,86);">Typical expression of Sai Baba</span></h6>
<p style="text-align:center;"><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I was really sort of in a state of shock when he did call me …. I think ….<br />
the reason being is that I had a number of fabulous experiences over that<br />
fifteen year period where he would …. I guess he was forced to reassure me<br />
who he was …. I had a very wild life …. to say the least …. I remember<br />
one time leaving the road terribly intoxicated at about five o’clock in the<br />
morning in a Porsche doing about ninety miles an hour …. in California<br />
…down a canyon …. this car flew off into the air …. about a three to<br />
four hundred foot drop …. and I had actually fallen asleep while driving<br />
home …. ( a little) inebriated …. and Sai Baba suddenly appeared next to<br />
me in the car …. this was 1975 maybe or 1976 …. put his arm around me<br />
….. and I just noticed him as the car started to spin in mid air ..it went<br />
over probably about ten times …. there was nothing left of the car ….<br />
there was no windshield …. there was no roll bar ..there were no doors<br />
….. there was no engine …. there was nothing …. it was totally and<br />
completely destroyed …. yet I got up and out …. I mean the pressure of<br />
this arm around me …. I guess …. protected me completely and I got up and<br />
walked out of this car without even a bruise …. much less a scratch . I<br />
got on a plane immediately and went to India to thank him …. and of course<br />
he ignored me the whole time ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Again, in 1977, I had an epileptic fit due to an intense drug overdose in a<br />
hotel room in Denver , Colorado about one o’clock in the morning . I went into<br />
epilepsy . I lost all motor response . I fell to the floor. I swallowed my<br />
tongue . I choked to death …. just like you read about , my spirit came out<br />
of the top of my head …. I was in a different state of consciousness and I<br />
was looking down at my body …. something in that state of consciousness<br />
…which was one of total peace and wondrous …. I will never forget it ….<br />
said to me,<br />
“your time is not now …. call your gurus name ” …. I called Sai Baba’s<br />
name and he appeared instantly in this room …. he picked me up and put me<br />
on a bed ..he pulled my tongue out ..I am watching this from above …. he<br />
places his hand on my chest and pushes on my chest and the spirit went right<br />
back into my body …. I was back into the state of epilepsy at that point in<br />
time …. and I don’t know how much time passed …. surely a number of<br />
minutes …. and shortly afterwards I was released from hospital because it<br />
was drug related …. not an actual mental malady. I left for India the next<br />
day to thank Sai Baba and he ignored for several months on that occasion as<br />
well ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I have to tell you , that fifteen years later, while we are working on the<br />
hospital …. he’s so wonderful …. timing of course is everything with<br />
him …. it was quite wonderful that while we were …. I guess I’ve been<br />
blessed to be with him for a number of hours with a number of distinguished<br />
surgeons who had been gathered together at Whitefield in his home there to<br />
discuss the hospital …. and he got everyone’s attention several hours into<br />
this meeting …. and I was sitting next to him ..and he said , ” I saved<br />
this mans life two times …. didn’t I?” This is fifteen years later. I must<br />
also add that I said ,”Yes of course. ” He leaned over and whispered in my ear,<br />
” And many other times too .” As you all know, Sai Baba is hilarious ….<br />
absolutely …. he is quite a miracle to us all …. but his humour is<br />
really something else.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I have to tell you a little bit about something that’s important to me . I told<br />
some folks about this and they seemed to think that it was important to them ,<br />
so I thought I would repeat it today .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I had a very unusual childhood and …. that …. not unlike many other people<br />
…. have suffered greatly in this life, probably due to things in a past life<br />
.. but I really had a wonderful childhood until I was about thirteen years old .<br />
at that time, I was playing with a little brother …. and we got into a<br />
little fight ..and part of this bank collapsed ..and he was suffocated …. I<br />
dug him out and he died in my arms . my parents blamed me for this death and<br />
they also blamed each other …. at the same time my parent never spoke again<br />
..</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">My older brother who had an extreme IQ was affected by this . I blamed myself<br />
for this actually at the time, and the next thing I knew …. he had become<br />
mentally ill . He flipped out completely and I spent a number of years in<br />
mental institutions with him . he wouldn’t talk to anyone else but me . these<br />
were tortuous years for me because I was locked wars with many other people .<br />
He eventually took his own life .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">My mother and father never spoke again … and again, I blamed myself for this …<br />
as well as my second brothers death .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">My father sort of committed social and business suicide …. and then he<br />
allowed his business , which employed everyone in our town of Jackson ,<br />
Tennessee , to fail on purpose to punish himself . I also believed that this<br />
was my fault . he eventually left Jackson Tennessee ..and left my mother and<br />
ran off with a young lady to England.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><a href="http://sathyasaimemories.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trishula1.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2458" title="TRISHULA" src="http://sathyasaimemories.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trishula1.gif" alt="" height="54" width="40"></a></span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">It took me many many years to deal with this extreme sadness . It went on for so<br />
long. It was so painful . Not anything different that many of you have<br />
experienced, I am sure …. and I was preoccupied with all of these tragedies<br />
for many many years …. and thought, “Oh ! what I terrible life I had surely<br />
had.” …. and on one occasion not long ago with Sai Baba …. and I must<br />
say that this occasion changed my life …. I asked him …. or rather<br />
during a situation together …. he turned to me and said ,” Tigrett , do<br />
you have any questions about anything which you would like to know about ….<br />
I’ll answer any question ?”. And I said , “Yes …. I would like to know why<br />
I was born into a family with so much tragedy and death and insanity and<br />
violence and …. and all these things that went on for so many years ….<br />
went on and on and on …. why was I born into a family like this ?”. And he<br />
smiled and looked at me and he said ,”To soften your heart ” …. and I can<br />
tell you now that suddenly I realised that I had been blessed to be born into<br />
that family …. and to have experienced those experiences, because what<br />
little I am today …. it has made me …. and God knows I have an massive ego<br />
….. and if I hadn’t had those experiences ????? what I would be doing . It’s<br />
important for each of us to realise that cards that we are dealt …. are<br />
given with great love and compassion …. and it’s simply your karma …. we<br />
are ..as Baba has said so many many times before , Past is past …. the<br />
future is uncertain …. NOW is the time …. you are making your future<br />
now …. whatever you put out …. comes back to you …. it’s a very simple<br />
simple formula in the spiritual world just as it’s in the laws of physics .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I have to tell you about my first interview with Sathya Sai Baba because it was<br />
quite fantastic . I think it was in 1974, the first time I went to Puttaparthi,<br />
that on leaving the canteen …. and by the way, I think the food there is<br />
fantastic despite rumours that it’s not so good, I noticed a little sign over<br />
the door …. a little wooden sign …. in fact that sign is still there<br />
….. it says ” love all , serve all. ” So I thought …. well …. he’s got<br />
me in this amazing crazy world , in this crazy business , and it struck me so<br />
strongly, that I said, “This surely is the only thing that’s important in<br />
life and I am going to put this into my business .” So I went back . This one<br />
little message changed my whole life . I went back and I started preaching to<br />
my staff , it was in my heart anyway , I had always felt it , that “love all ,<br />
serve all ” was the most …. it’s why we’re born …. it’s why we are here<br />
….. there is no other thing to think about …. and I adopted this expression<br />
for my business. In fact, in every Hard Rock Cafe throughout the world, you<br />
will find a sign that says “love all , serve all.” In fact, we put it on<br />
millions of T-shirts …. twenty million matches …. and buttons and this and<br />
that …. and everything else …. and I would give a speech about it to my<br />
staff once a month at some Hard Rock in the world …. and this is how I ran<br />
my business . I knew that I had to bring in my spiritual life into my business<br />
…that it was the only way to really survive successfully in creating what he<br />
wants …. because that’s what he does want …. he wants us all to be<br />
puppets for him …. if we can say the word puppets …. hard to deal for<br />
the egos a little bit …. but that’s really what it’s all about. He wants us<br />
to be instruments , and I tried to become this instrument for him . I am still<br />
obviously trying very hard . I have to say that “love all, serve all” became<br />
the motto of my staff and of all the people who admire what we were doing.</span></b></p>

<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Again, I always had this fear that I was doing something wrong ..I mean , it<br />
seemed so crazy to be in such a crazy world ….that I was living in ..and had<br />
this divine master plus psychic experiences all the time plus whatever …. it<br />
wasn’t till my first interview that I really understood ..or got confirmation<br />
from him that he was behind the Hard Rock. I’ll never forget when he said ,<br />
“You come in”. I mean after fifteen years ..I looked at the guy behind me ….<br />
(I was sure that’s he, he ) was talking about ..it can’t be me …. and it was<br />
quite wonderful …. he called me and terrified the day lights out of me of<br />
course by doing so, and he sat me right down in front of him, and there were<br />
ten or twelve people there and he said ,” Where is God ?”. And I said ,”Well<br />
he’s in my heart”. He said ,”No”. He said ,” God is everywhere …. it’s like<br />
fish swimming through water …. the water is above the fish , around the<br />
fish , below ,and inside . You are fish swimming through God .” This has been<br />
one of the most wonderful moments of my life and I am sure for those that were<br />
in the room, because we are swimming through God at this very moment. He is<br />
everywhere and it’s that consciousness which we are all trying to reach ….<br />
not just intellectually ..but to completely understand and merge with that<br />
consciousness. He then asked me , ” How do you get to God ?”. I just missed<br />
the first question so I wasn’t going to answer another one …. so I sat back<br />
like this …. and he asked another fellow, “How do you get to God ?” ….<br />
and he said nothing .. he asked, ” How do you get to God ?” and then he turned<br />
to me, and he asked me again, ” How you get to God ?” …. and I just sort of<br />
sat back …. and he winked at me and he said ,”Love all ,serve all “. It<br />
really is what it’s all about.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I really want to tell you also about the hospital a little bit. I was very<br />
blessed that Sai Baba brought me forward … and I had told my staff and my<br />
folks …. my brothers and sisters at the Hard Rock …. in which there were<br />
some three or four thousand of us altogether around the world …. from the day<br />
that I started it back in 1971, ..that this was going to serve mankind in some<br />
way … and one day …. no one would ever believe me …. I don’t think I<br />
believed it myself …. one day, something that this incredible success that<br />
we had had, will somehow serve mankind. I used to say this on a monthly basis<br />
for many many years. Swami brought someone, just in the nick of time, because<br />
I was near death and exhaustion from expanding my business all over the world,<br />
who offered me too much money for it. And I consider it to be a sign from God<br />
….. and sold the Hard Rock Cafe …. it was a public company … it was on the<br />
London Stock Exchange and also the American Stock Exchange … and after ….<br />
it was quite difficult to let it go .. but after a lot of meditation I kept<br />
getting signs …. yes indeed , this is what I want you to do . I had already<br />
set up a foundation called the “Rama Foundation” many years before and put half<br />
of my stock into that foundation. That foundation received the benefits from<br />
half the sale of the Hard Rock Cafe which sold for a miraculous hundred and<br />
eight million dollars …. I might say …. oh goodness ! …. in fact I<br />
will never forget ….</span></b></p>

</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">This reminds me of something else …. Swami …. there was this big chubby<br />
lady came in one day and he was giving her a lecture about how to cook ..and<br />
he gave her a whole lesson on how to cook …. and we sat there …. how to<br />
boil water …. how to do the rice …. how to do everything …. went on<br />
and on and on …. and then …. all of you know this …. he turned and he<br />
said ,”Sai Baba weighs a perfect one hundred and eight pounds. I have (always)<br />
since the age of fourteen , I have weighed a hundred and eight pounds. ” Which<br />
is, I think quite wonderful. It’s very important in numerology too …. there<br />
is so much mystery in this world …. so much more going on than that we are<br />
aware of ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I got to the point ..in fact ..and I am getting little bit off the subject<br />
….. I got to the point where through meditation, I’d reached a certain state<br />
of mind …. I realised that I was&#160; detached from so many many things.<br />
Also material things that I’ve never cared about particularly …. and I wrote to<br />
him and said , ” Swami , because you have also graced me with this ability to<br />
pull energy into my body through meditation …. do you want me to just go<br />
off into a cave somewhere and do this meditation ?” And he said , ” In<br />
another period of history that would have been correct “, he said ,” but not<br />
now “, he said ,”I want you in the world , I want you with these things , but I<br />
don’t want you to be attached to them , I want you to stand next to them , but<br />
not be victimised by them I want beacons of light in the world , the world<br />
must be purified in this age …. this wonderful age that we are blessed to<br />
have been born into …. because the new age is upon us.</span></b></p>

<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Sai asked me to do the medical planning . We got the<br />
Hospital Corporation of America , which is the leading hospital corporation in<br />
the world. They’ve built thousands of hospitals around the world. They did the<br />
medical planning for us. He brought in some of the brightest minds in India and<br />
other countries …. also to take what the Hospital Corporation had done and<br />
tear it all to bits …. and to start all over again …. and he made many<br />
many changes himself as he told me …. he said , “This is a prototype ….<br />
this is an absolute prototype . ” And I thought , ” Well gosh …. what does<br />
that mean , I haven’t got a clue ? “</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">He sent me shortly afterwards to the World Health Organisation in Geneva. I<br />
went there and I met with a group of about twelve of their leading doctors<br />
there. When I put the plans out for them, they were outraged at the entire idea<br />
of this hospital . They said it will never work … “How could you build a super<br />
specialty hospital when we can’t even teach people in third world countries<br />
proper hygiene or how to get inoculations ?” …. or whatever . They tore me<br />
into little pieces ..which is pretty hard to do …. and …. I sat there<br />
calmly listening to them , knowing that they were absolutely correct about what<br />
they were saying , except that this was Shri Sathya Sai Baba’s hospital . There<br />
was a doctor Singh , who was late to the meeting of these ten gentleman ….<br />
one was from Japan …. one was from Ghana one was from ???? Dr. Singh came<br />
just as they were taking the last bit of skin off my body …. and Dr. Singh<br />
just took one look and said “Oh , Sai baba’s doing this ..if anyone can make<br />
it happen , it will be Sai Baba .”</span></b></p>

</span></b></h6>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">In fact it’s incredible …. because …. Sai Baba does not give you faith .<br />
I am sure that we have all been through this many many times before …. it’s<br />
earned, it’s something that’s part of the whole destruction of the ego process<br />
….. our ego wants to deny the existence of God …. period . But … I was<br />
amazed ..even with my own doubts …. to now watch and see exactly how he has<br />
performed …. the hospital. I say ” performed” because it has been a<br />
performance and a half. It has been a start stop process …. first of all,<br />
there is no other specialty hospital in the world , in the third world<br />
situation free… in fact there is none free ..period , that I know of . As you<br />
know that, the hospital is on an hundred acre site. It’s about forty buildings<br />
there. It’s not only the hospital ..it’s all the backup buildings …. a whole<br />
village has been built… it’s in the process of being completed now … which will<br />
house three thousand five hundred staff and their families for that hospital .<br />
It will be bigger than the ashram population . It’s also the Puttaparthi<br />
hospital …. which I am really excited about …. because one thing I<br />
learned ..I learnt a lot about the hospital business …. certainly in this<br />
type of situation …. the Puttaparthi hospital has been almost tripled in<br />
size …. they’ve being seeing on average, 350 – 400 people a day. In fact<br />
for every two or three thousand people that they see in the General Hospital ,<br />
only one needs to go to the Super Speciality Hospital .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">The Super Speciality Hospital is a hospital where they do …. you know ….<br />
heart transplants …. eventually . Right now they are doing open-heart<br />
surgery . When I was there two months ago, they just completed their one<br />
hundred and seventy fifth open-heart surgery …. in devastating conditions<br />
there …. and the amazing thing was that all the laws of statistics said<br />
that someone should have died of infection …. someone should have died<br />
period. ..but many should have died of infection because it’s still an<br />
construction site ..there is still dirt and dust and so forth . Not one patient<br />
has been lost . It’s quite fantastic . The hospital is a four stage …. it’s<br />
in four stages …. on his birthday this year, they’re going to open up the<br />
next wing of the hospital …. right at the moment the heart wing …. he<br />
wanted to start with the heart, which is apropos of our Lord…. the next will<br />
be …. I think …. the urology department …. and that will be followed<br />
by the other two departments over the next two years . In fact ,they want as a<br />
birthday gift to Swami, to have the urology department going …. it will be<br />
headed by Dr. Bhat , who is the father of urology in India. If you ever get a<br />
chance to speak to him , he is a wonderful amazing doctor …. Swami has<br />
called there…. Many people have said …. well …. what’s the story ….<br />
can we work there ? …. can we do this ? I think ..yes, the answer is .. ….<br />
in time that will happen …. he has given it to the Indian community to<br />
start off …. and I think it’s absolutely the way it should be done as well<br />
….. the way that he has done it , because the people at the World Health<br />
Organisation said ,” You ‘d be overrun …. it will be crazy there”, is that<br />
they will operate for two or three weeks and they stop …. he stops them<br />
…and this gives them the chance to go back and see what they are not doing<br />
right …. to get all their administration together. It’s a brilliant plan<br />
….. and he’ll start up again …. and they will operate for a number of weeks<br />
…and then he will stop them . The wards are packed …. twenty five percent<br />
are children that have been operated on ..they have holes in their hearts or<br />
whatever …. it’s truly a prototype as Sathya Sai Baba has said that it is.<br />
He told me it was a thousand year project …. that’s very exciting …. it’s<br />
a wonderful thing .. and I am sure in time, those who are qualified …. I am<br />
sure there are some among here who are doctors, will be given an opportunity. I<br />
know that he has just taken a gentleman from Chicago … is now going to be the<br />
head of the blood bank …. and an Italian gentleman has been chosen to help<br />
as the anaesthesiologists there ..so it’s only a matter of time and karma ….<br />
I am sure …. when all of us can play a role there ..and when I say ,”play a<br />
role” …. I think one of the great experiences I had with Michael Hollander<br />
….. is the year 1976 ..it must’ve been …. when we built the stupa that was<br />
there and there were about forty others there …. with the concrete …. I<br />
mean it’s a …. it’s really the energy that’s the most important thing which<br />
you do , not …. you know …. the importance in our minds …. and that<br />
brings me to a subject that I am …. you’ll find very curious.<br />

</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Sai Baba is not that little furry haired creature that we all adore and love<br />
….. that’s a delusion. He has said that many many times before …. to be<br />
preoccupied with that form ..you’re deluding yourself …. to know him in his<br />
true form is to know him as everything everywhere everyone. One of the things<br />
I’ve practiced for many many years in my life …. in my business …. the<br />
payoff is fantastic, because I don’t see personalities …. I see God in<br />
every face …. and I try to practice but it does not come easy at times …. just like you practice meditation<br />
…. you practice any of the spiritual exercises that can be given to you .<br />
It’s essential that you get out of the ego conscious state. It’s important for<br />
you to realise who you really are. You are not the mind. You are not the body.<br />
You are all divine beings …. there is no self-realisation that’s given to<br />
you …. you already have it. It’s just the matter of removing the veil …<br />
the ego …. it’s there for the taking …. it’s available to you . I<br />
say this with conviction because over the last several years Sai Baba has had<br />
me, he’s shown me the other dimensions on a daily basis. He’s taken me into<br />
every level and plane I assume that one can go into …. I am sure there are<br />
a few more he could have (shown me too). It may sound bizarre and strange to you<br />
, but you must become aware of the other dynamics that are happening ….<br />
what Sai is really doing …. it’s all matter of your thoughts …. you<br />
talk about ceilings on desires …. I will give you a ceiling that you MUST<br />
be aware of …. and that’s your thoughts . The most powerful thing that you<br />
could do in this dimension is think. Every single thought is pure energy. That<br />
energy …. like the laws of physics , that energy does not die …. it<br />
collects on something that Sai Baba has given us the name “the astral plane. “<br />
This is where the trash is … this is where the thoughts are …. this is<br />
where all the thought forms are …. this is where the ?????, the Aztecs ,<br />
the other great civilisations …. when their priest class understood the<br />
powers …. the ancient wisdom they create ??? spirits … they’re still<br />
there ..the elementals are there …. there is a dimension that we interact<br />
with and our thoughts are also on that d ….</span></b></p>

</span></b></h6>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">…. lust , greed , anger, hatred have collected on these other dimensions.<br />
It’s the same as the positive thoughts … your worship , your love of God , and<br />
his many aspects …. all the Gods …. that’s collected into positive<br />
thought forms on the “etheric dimension” , as Sai Baba has asked us to call it.<br />
I can only tell you …. and give you an example of the thought form in something<br />
that Sai Baba is up to … and I am sorry to sort of burden you with this craziness …. but …. that’s the way it is..</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">The thing that I am trying to make …. the point that I am trying to make<br />
to you is that Sai Baba is God …. he is dynamic …. he is working on<br />
many many dimensions simultaneously. He is doing everything to bring in the new<br />
age . He has told me , ” I must … we must destroy the negativity on the other<br />
dimensions as well as this one because we are so closely connected . It would<br />
be useless to clean up the planet without cleaning up the other dimension (s)<br />
….. because we are affected by these things ” ????? we get back to the same<br />
shape all over again. He is absolutely amazing . He is cleaning up all the<br />
dimensions at once. He is working everywhere. So incredible.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">But he needs our help. Human beings and their thoughts created the mess that<br />
we’re in today . We’ve all been reincarnated into this glorious age where an<br />
Avatar walks among us …. a full (Poona) Avatar. He needs our help. We<br />
are his beacons …. I mean it’s a blessing …. all of us have come in<br />
contact with this divine being …. he is bringing us along …. in most<br />
cases he is speeding up our karma. He needs our help. We created these<br />
problems …. God cannot create negativity …. it’s impossible …. he is<br />
pure love …. divine love ..not like human love …. human love is<br />
contracting and grasping …. divine love is expanding it’s quite incredible.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">He has blessed me … with showing me the feeling of … that in …. a particular<br />
state of samadhi ….which he blessed me with for a short period of time . He<br />
said , ” Tigrett , that’s what the goal is !” … just to sort of tantalise me<br />
….. he gets a kick out of it too. But the point being …. don’t think of Sai<br />
Baba as this marvellous marvellous incarnation that’s down in Puttaparthi ….<br />
he is here …. he is in every one of you.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Again, I don’t want to confuse anybody with the metaphysical aspects which Sai<br />
Baba has blessed me with …. ???? and just to clear that up when you say<br />
,”Why this guy ?” …. because I’ve been saying that myself for a long time. He<br />
has taken me back to a past life. He’s shown me that I was a (shaman) master in<br />
an ancient culture and had the ancient wisdom, and then my ego got involved<br />
….. it was so wonderful, I thought, well I ‘d just fix everything ….<br />
I’ll just do this and do that …. and I misused this knowledge and this power<br />
and in the process harmed many many people. This life is an opportunity to make<br />
good that harm. Just as all of us are leading our own path, we have our own<br />
karma …. just know that he is with you … because he is absolutely there<br />
just waiting for you …. he does not interfere with your free will …. he<br />
will not do that …. it’s his own law …. but he is there for you when you<br />
reach out for him. We are all truly blessed to be with him.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I want to tell you one story that always tickles me. There was a group in to see<br />
him ..a Westerner group interview …. and he …. one fellow was from<br />
California and had sort of a Navajo ring on … like a blue stone a turquoise<br />
stone …. quite fantastic …. and Swami said ,” Can Swami have ring?”<br />
The guy says ,”Sure!” … and there are about ten or fifteen people there ….<br />
And he held the ring up and said, “What’s this ?”<br />
“Swami …. that it is a Navajo ring made by Indians in Arizona I believe and<br />
has a turquoise stone .”<br />
” Very good “, he said , “very good ” …. next person …. “What is this?”<br />
“Swami, that’s a silver ring with a blue stone “<br />
“Very good” …. all the way around the room …. “What is this? … What is<br />
this? … What is this ?” …. He then held it up and blew on the ring and it<br />
turned into a big gold ring with a ruby on the top …. “What is this ?”<br />
“Swami, that’s a big golden ring with a ruby on the top “<br />
“Yes , very happy …. what is this ?”<br />
“Swami … it’s a gold ring with a red stone “<br />
“Very good” all the way around the room, very patiently as always, “what is<br />
this? what is this ?” …. He stood up in front of the group and said , I<br />
must get it verbatim, “Swami very powerful . Has the ability to change all the<br />
elements of the universe at will …. but to change one of you Westerners ….<br />
very difficult. “</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Now there is something that I REALLY hate. Swami asked me to sing …. and I<br />
don’t know how to sing …. in fact I sing off key ..but I am going to try.<br />
This is a little song that’s very dear to me. One of my roommates sang it to me<br />
in Puttaparthi … 1974 , …. and it has been going in my head ever since …. so<br />
I will try …. forgive me …. I don’t know how to sing ;</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">” Oh make me like you …. Please make me like you …. You are a servant,<br />
make me one too …. …. Oh lord , I am willing …. Please do what you<br />
must do …. To make me like you Lord …. Make me like you. …. Sai Ram</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">Again …. thank ??? most of all …. for inviting me to come and be here with<br />
you this afternoon . So many people said so many sweet things to me after the<br />
chat …. really the only reason that I want to be here is to serve him … and<br />
if he speaks through me to some of you …. it would make my whole year ..thank<br />
you all for having me.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">“However , someone said to me,” You’re really special.” This upsets me a great<br />
deal because of a lesson Swami has given me over and over again. It’s really<br />
the problem that mankind has suffered from the beginning, and that’s the<br />
feeling of being special. We’re taught in today’s world that we are supposed to<br />
be …. better than …. different …. the second that we fall victim to<br />
feeling special we’ve lost the whole game completely” —-</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">… you know …. a&#160; Christian says I’m special …. I ‘m a Christian …. I am better than a Jew or<br />
a Hindu says …. well I’m special …. (I’m )better than a Parsi …. or a<br />
rich man says I’m special …. I’m better than a poor person …. this is the<br />
danger …. the danger in life in general …. we have this amazing<br />
association of mankind …. which it seems in today’s world we are so competitive<br />
with one another … wanting to beat the other guy out …. wanting to be more<br />
powerful … have a stronger position. You see this typified at Sai Baba’s<br />
ashram, where everyone is trying to get closer to the King and they’ll do<br />
anything to get there …. say anything. I just can’t warn you enough about<br />
feeling special . Someone came up and even offered me Sai Baba’s food that<br />
they had in the canteen. I was so upset …. or they even made me break in<br />
line to get my dinner… it’s just (a) reminder to me ..thank Swami for that<br />
reminder …. that we are all …. we are Him. Feeling of being special …<br />
being different …. being better than someone else …. someone came up to<br />
me and said ,”Well I’m so worried about what people say about me …. Swami<br />
gave me an object and people are jealous because of it and so they say naughty<br />
things to me all the time. ” Worrying about what other people say …. again<br />
….. the only lesson that I have learnt …. because I have had to ….<br />
with great love …. deal with my little Hard Rock family around the world ….<br />
every place in the world …. it’s been fantastic to practice looking beyond<br />
the personality …. to really see God in everyone that you meet. If you<br />
practice it …. (it’s) just like meditation …. and meditation is the way<br />
to God …. I can’t tell you enough …. it’s just like the Bhajans …. for<br />
years I thought …. well, in fact, I think I know three after seventeen<br />
years …. you know …. I didn’t understand the importance of that ritual<br />
….. how important it is …. it’s a form of meditation …. it’s a form of<br />
union with God …. even if you don’t know the words …. just to be there<br />
….. and be part of the music …. it’s so very very important …. but<br />
meditation is everything …. again I would like to talk briefly just for a<br />
minute or two …. and there are so many folks had questions about various<br />
things I had said …. I have questions about some of the things I’ve said<br />
….. is there anyone who would like to ask any questions …. because I am<br />
not going to take too much of your time this afternoon ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">I’d like to talk just for a second about attitude . It’s an attitude that’s<br />
important to understand. I was blessed to have money, and people have been<br />
asking me about money this afternoon, blessed to have money that I wanted to<br />
give Sai Baba and I didn’t know how to do it. It was such a strange thing ….<br />
the idea of giving Sai Baba something …. wanting to give …. being attached to<br />
the giving … and finally I realised that this money that I was giving could<br />
not be accepted until it was given for all …. who maybe don’t have the cash<br />
….. if they had it …. liked to have given. It’s when I adopted this<br />
attitude that I approached him …. this was …. this gift …. that he ???<br />
blessed ..in me in receiving …. was given in the spirit that it was given for<br />
all of us ….</span></b></p>

<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">It was the same as the symbol of this bowl which he gave me at the birthday. I<br />
was shocked …. they came and woke me up at five o’clock in the morning and said<br />
,”Sai Baba wants you to sit up on the podium there with him.” …. and I did<br />
so with his command. I was very embarrassed to be sitting up there …. and<br />
then suddenly he brought out this magnificent bowl …. huge thing …. and<br />
presented it to me. And I realised as I was sitting there …. that it was<br />
just a symbol …. it represented his grace for the two thousand workers who<br />
worked on this project twenty four hours a day …. it was a symbol of grace<br />
for the two hundred draughtsmen which drafted day and night to create this<br />
hospital …. everyone had told that it’s physically impossible to create this<br />
hospital …. first of all it takes at least one years planning and it will<br />
take at least three years to build. It was planned through his grace in six<br />
weeks. It was built in one year. You know …. he announced …. first of<br />
all, he said that he was going to do the hospital …. couple of weeks later<br />
he says it’s going to open in a year from now …. he announces at the<br />
birthday there …. and we all said ,” Oh my God …. what we’re going to do ?”<br />
…. not one of us on the project believed it could be done …. talk about<br />
being close to Baba and having no faith …. but indeed it was done ….<br />
and …. and …. it’s an amazing achievement and I look forward to all of you<br />
being able to go over there and certainly have a look at it.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">It’s a beautiful thing that Sai has created for everybody. It’s amazing what<br />
he’s done as he’s predicted ….( that he was would) …. was first going<br />
to build a model for education and he announced this twenty years ago when he<br />
inaugurated the university . He said ,”I am going to set up a model for the<br />
Indian government …. of what free education could be all about …. this<br />
school that I am setting up now will be the model .” With the opening of the<br />
hospital , the prime minister , Mr. Rao came , and he gave a speech. In that<br />
speech he said ,”We are now accepting the university as the model for the<br />
Indian government of how free education can be given to the masses .” …. and I<br />
have met several of the teams that he has sent down subsequently, to study<br />
what service and education could be …. now Sai has announced that this<br />
hospital will be a model to the world on how a hospital can run in a third<br />
world environment …. as we all know what Andhra Pradesh is …. with fifty<br />
five million people just in the state of Andhra Pradesh alone …. let this<br />
hospital be a model of what free medical care to the masses can be …. I<br />
believe that that ’s what we are …. people say , “Why isn’t everybody a Sai<br />
Baba devotee?” …. I don’t know what karma that we have …. to receive this<br />
blessing …. this small Sai family …. on the Earth …. of course Sai<br />
has many many other names …. and many other cultures. I believe that we are<br />
models …. models we must be as well, to the rest of the world . And it’s<br />
so important that we get over our failings as quickly and fast as we can, to<br />
become beacons for him .</span></b></p>

<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">“ …. when Baba asked you to get started on the hospital …. did he give a<br />
sense of direction or did he just say …. “work on the hospital ?”<br />
“ the question was …. when Sai Baba said to start the hospital … did he give<br />
a sense of direction? ” …. I think about forty of us ran off in every<br />
different direction there could possible be …. not knowing which direction<br />
to go in. It became obvious real quickly that only with his grace would we be<br />
able to come together and make it happen …. it was a …. I am a very<br />
strong hard headed character and Sai Baba sort of put me in front of the entire<br />
Indian culture …. and tried to …. you know …. bulldoze my way through<br />
….. it’s very interesting because I learnt a great lesson from it …. he<br />
allowed me to go full steam like a little steam engine …. “right up the<br />
middle” as they say in football …. and then one day he said , ” Tigrett, I<br />
don’t want you to talk anymore .” I said ,”Okay” …. later he explained to me<br />
….. He said ,”Look …. from your background …. the way you were raised ,<br />
there was no harmony in your family …. there was no family unit …. you<br />
realised that the only way you ‘re going to get anything done in life was to go<br />
out and do it yourself …. and you never had the teaching of what a family<br />
unit is all about. ” He said , ” This hospital experience, for you personally,<br />
is a learning experience of how to work as a team …. everybody has their part<br />
to play .” …. so indeed …. we all ran off in different directions …. but<br />
he …. absolutely …. we would have meetings for hours …. and he’d say<br />
,”No …. little left …. no I want that there …. that should be green<br />
….. this should be red …. this should be twelve feet tall …. this should be<br />
six feet wide …. he knew exactly what every room and every specification<br />
was going to be …. and he was actively involved with every aspect of<br />
building of that hospital …. just as he is actively involved with the<br />
running of the hospital as well. I mean , the fact that nobody has died there<br />
defies medicine in general because it’s a construction site and you cannot have<br />
an operating room with even a speck of dust , because when you open the body ….<br />
if a speck of dust or dirt gets in …. you will have internal infection and<br />
you will die. I think the fact that he comes over there a couple times a week,<br />
while these operations are going on …. he visits the wards …. he goes to<br />
the operating rooms …. obviously his vibration is cleansing …. so it’s a<br />
divine hospital … that’s for sure …. with him over there all the time .</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">“Yes Sir ?”</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">“Will you talk a little bit about the meditations that you do …. how<br />
frequently …. ?”<br />
” The question is …. would I talk about the meditations and so forth?” ….<br />
again …. I had no idea …. I’ve been aware of other dimensions and other<br />
things going on. I didn’t know if I could ever play a role in it ….<br />
obviously I now know that we each can …. through meditation …. learn a lot<br />
about other dynamics and it humbles you greatly when you realise that there are<br />
more dynamic things than yourself going on. It all started four years ago. He<br />
asked me to work with Mrs. Phyllis Krystal …. and it happens probably ….<br />
he brings us together for two or three weeks at a time …. we will meditate<br />
for about 4 – 5 hours a day …. we had these sessions and then after two or<br />
three weeks he’ll give us a break and I’ll go off and do some business …. she<br />
will do her thing …. and then he brings us back again. This is the way it’s<br />
been for four years. He asked us to record these journeys. We now have about<br />
four hundred hours on tape of these amazing journeys into other dimensions<br />
….. many discourses that he has given explaining how things work sort of and<br />
it’s so interesting …. most interesting of all ..is that it’s just like<br />
grass growing …. it’s so simple …. really really simple …. the<br />
unknown always scares all of us …. it’s a natural phenomenon … but this<br />
work …. primarily means to me that he is working on many levels at once. It’s<br />
dynamic to see it …. again let me sort of tell you …. obviously there is<br />
no way for me to share these things …. even the experiences I have had ….<br />
I find difficult to believe …. but the effect is what’s important to<br />
understand ….<br />
Every time you think , you put out energy. Every single thought. Thought is<br />
more powerful even than action. That’s why he says ,” Watch your thoughts. “<br />
….. it’s so very important because it’s pure energy and it’s powerful energy<br />
….. and it doesn’t just dissipate somewhere. It gathers together, in what Sai<br />
Baba has called in our work ,”the astral plane ” …. which is where our<br />
negative thought forms come together …. just like the Russian experience<br />
which I told you about …. all this negativity …. this negative fear that<br />
these Russians have had …. it created a thought form …. a living powerful<br />
beast really, that was still holding them and suppressing them and keeping<br />
them in that particular place. The same thing happens with lust , greed , anger<br />
.. Over the yugas, all of this has collected into huge dynamic form (s) and what<br />
happens is that when you get angry …. when you get lustful …. when you<br />
get hateful …. when these thing occur …. you are put up like a tuning<br />
fork …. these thing(s) are made of human energy …. and they feed off<br />
human energy …. if you are not careful …. you can cross a line of<br />
attraction to them …. and they will attach themselves to you …. and when<br />
they do …. then they will keep you in that frame of mind …. they will<br />
keep you lustful …. they will keep you angry … they will keep you in this<br />
negative …. this is their food …. they are feeding off of you, as crazy as<br />
this may sound. This is one of the purposes of Mrs. Krystal’s book …. is to<br />
show you how to get away …. protect yourself from these things … it’s Sai Baba’s<br />
book …. not Mrs. Krystal’s. It’s the most important work or word that I can<br />
give you really today of my experience in this life is …. you must watch<br />
your thoughts …. it’s so important. A lady came up to me this afternoon and<br />
says ,” I am so bloody angry, I am furious, I am …. ” …. it has<br />
consumed her …. anger …. I believe that she has contacted one of these<br />
thought forms …. and that it has control over her. It is the way things are<br />
…. it’s very difficult to understand …. but it’s the way things are ….<br />
“Yes maam” …. “<br />
???? how the thought form pattern over the United States compared to the<br />
thought form pattern …. “<br />
…. well …. you know …. it’s the Shiva energy that’s at work right now.<br />
There has to be death to be birth. It’s just like flowers dying in the<br />
wintertime so that there can be rebirth. It’s just like our lifetimes ….<br />
there is death and there is birth. It’s part of the wheel. It is part of the<br />
whole process for a new age to begin an old age has to be swept aside. Look<br />
what’s happening to the planet right now. The planet itself is being destroyed<br />
by mankind. The biosphere is in danger of collapsing …. totally collapsing.<br />
This awareness is slowly seeping in to not just America …. or one country<br />
….. but the whole world is becoming aware that we have fouled our own nest<br />
….. and by being so …. they’ve connecting themselves to nature because they<br />
realise that nature and ourselves are one the same …. we are a part of<br />
nature …. nature is God …. God is everything …. so suddenly we are<br />
being …. really …. (it would seems )like a total disaster …. we’re all<br />
tuning in to our higher nature through this awareness that the biosphere is<br />
collapsing around our heads. I worked with the environmental groups , in fact<br />
I started an environmental group in the UK called “Ark, ” …. and got very<br />
much into it after I sold my business …. and became very concerned. I’ve<br />
spent a lot of time with NASA and several other organisations and saw …. in<br />
fact, part of the global forum …. the scientific community was the leading<br />
scientists around the world …. it was headed by Carl Sagan, the famous<br />
scientist …. at the Moscow conference …. all they could say was that<br />
we’re doomed. I got so concerned that I went to Sai Baba and asked him<br />
,”What’s going to happen to the biosphere ?” And he said to me ,”God is<br />
allowing mankind to destroy the Earth …. only when man is brought to his<br />
knees will he turn toward God. ” It’s the same thing that’s happening to all<br />
the oppressed nations that have been around the world …. look what has<br />
happened …. who would’ve believed that he would have broken up Russia and<br />
Eastern Europe …. and some of the South American governments …. and some<br />
of these oppressive countries …. I mean, in a short period of time ….<br />
look what he has done to the world economy …. we are all marching in the<br />
wrong direction …. we think materialism is going to bring happiness ….<br />
so let’s just stomp out materialism around the world …. and he has brought<br />
the economy of the world almost to its knees …. there has to be death to be<br />
birth . There is a new age upon us …. a new age of consciousness …. I<br />
think we are all blessed to be here.<br />
“Yes Sir.”<br />
“We know so little about life after death …. you said that Baba saved you<br />
when you swallowed your tongue ?”<br />
“Yes.”<br />
“Could you expand on that …. what exactly did it feel …. what did you<br />
experience …. ?”<br />
“Life after death …. you mean life after delusion …. don’t you !?” I<br />
can only tell you , that as far as my personal experience was concerned, it’s<br />
really two fold. I had this experience …. yes …. he wanted to know<br />
what life after death was like or you know … what’s going on . Not that I am<br />
an expert , but I had a small glimpse …. and I have had others through<br />
meditation. It was a state of total bliss …. there are no five senses ….<br />
you are ???? (not) bound to anything …. I was in a state of pure …. its<br />
like to be described just as electricity …. but it was totally peaceful<br />
….. it was wonderful …. I didn’t really want to go back. In fact if you<br />
recall, Mr. Cowan , who Baba brought back to life …. I think there was a<br />
group that interviewed him at one time …. ” What’s it like to return back<br />
to earth ?” He said it was like returning to a sewer …. I don’t really care<br />
about being in the etheric plane or this plane …. I just like to be merged<br />
with Sai Baba permanently. I have had visitations from my own brothers and I<br />
have constant visitations , in fact, from people on the other side. They’re in<br />
a continuous state of learning. It’s still a learning process , but the action<br />
is down here. Everybody is waiting to get down here, because this is where you<br />
burn the karma off. This is where the action is …. in this dimension ….</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">“Yes Sir “</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">” I heard that you are incorporating these management practises …. that you<br />
used in the Hard Rock Cafe …. is there some sort of book or lecture series<br />
….. .”<br />
“This is it ! The question was …. putting the practises of Sai Baba into<br />
your business …. and no I am not writing a book about it and I hope Swami<br />
doesn’t ask me to …. but , what I am doing is practising …. and I think any<br />
person who has a business …. it doesn’t make any difference what it is<br />
….. people say , “Hey ! that guy is not a Sai devotee ..he runs a bar ” ….<br />
another devotee may say , ” He’s just a street sweeper” …. you know …. or<br />
this guy …. “he’s just a carpenter …. how can he do big things ?” It’s<br />
nonsense. It doesn’t make any difference what anyone does. It’s how you do it.<br />
Work is worship …. as long as you do it “dharmically” , “right thinking ” ,<br />
“right acting. ” I thought I’ve retired from a business that just about ran me<br />
into the ground. Sai Baba now has me doing it again, and he has just blessed a<br />
project …. and I’m opening something called the “House of Blues ” …. which<br />
is a series of rhythm and blues places …. three of them will open very<br />
shortly …. before the end of this year …. and I can’t believe it …. he<br />
has me doing it again ….enough is enough you know …. but he has told me that<br />
it must be done “dharmically. ” “The Hard Rock was a high school …. you<br />
passed …. just barely, Tigrett “, he said,” now it’s time to go to<br />
college.” …. I don’t have to learn a whole new scene but …. the point<br />
being is that now I am doing it totally different from the last time …. the<br />
last time it was done with the heart and probably less mind …. it’s so very<br />
important ….<br />
…. and there’s a meditation , in fact, there are two meditations I’d like to<br />
give you today …. because …. he’s told me just recently that …. he is<br />
everything …. he is all action …. he is the Kundalini power. The Kundalini<br />
power …. the action of God …. this incredible creative force …. is like<br />
a freight train. Unless it is balanced between the male and female aspects<br />
….. it will run off into a (cull de sac) …..”This is what causes wars ,” he<br />
told me …. you know …. too much of the male thinking …. It’s a<br />
combination of the head and heart . It has to be balanced …. it must be<br />
balanced …. all of us are out of balance …. usually in one form or another<br />
….. we all have a male and a female aspect …. ying and the yang …. it’s as<br />
ancient as the day is long and we have to be guarded at all times to balance<br />
this. There is a meditation which he gave to Mrs. Krystal and myself several<br />
years ago. He has now reiterated that this is the most important meditation you<br />
can do . It’s called the TREE MEDITATION . In fact, in many other cultures, in<br />
the mystical side of other cultures, starting with Christianity , this<br />
meditation was a predominant one. It’s very simple. I’ll give it to you very<br />
quickly.<br />
You simply sit in a quiet spot … you imagine yourself …. you’re sitting in a<br />
lotus position or whatever you can get …. as close to it …. as a tree<br />
….. as a tree …. your favourite tree …. maybe it’s an oak tree. And<br />
then you imagine that above you …. rising to the sky are the branches of<br />
that tree …. bellow you …. going down into the Mother Earth …. is the root<br />
system of that tree …. which is the duplicate of the branches, really ….<br />
and then you must now pull in the energy …. the branches in the sky represent<br />
the Male Father …. the roots in the Earth represent the Mother …. the Divine<br />
Mother … and you must breath in this energy …. first you imagine pulling in<br />
energy through the branch system into your body …. and you exhale ….<br />
because when you pull in divine energy …. it replaces something …. this is an<br />
very important meditation …. probably the most important for this age as well<br />
…. and as you exhale …. you exhale all that is replaced …. the<br />
unnecessary parts …. and you pull in …. and you exhale …. once you<br />
feel that and you’ve got that going …. then you …. go to the root system ….<br />
this is the Divine Mother …. this is the yin …. and you must pull in this<br />
energy from those root systems …. this is starting to keep the balance<br />
going …. you pull in this energy …. you exhale what is unnecessary ….<br />
then you do both simultaneously …. you pull in from both sides at once<br />
….. if you practise this …. you will be amazed at the actual power that<br />
you’ll feel and the harmony within your own being . He told me that this is the<br />
most important meditation that you can do ….<br />
There is one other …. which is a matter that I do …. and have done since<br />
he gave it to me. I do it everyday . I don’t know if it’s of interest to you,<br />
but I feel I should tell it to you. I ask him for five things, he’s just given<br />
me a sixth recently. First I ask him to “think through me” …. and as I ask<br />
this, I breathe in. The breath …. the ( Pranayama) is so powerful …. I ask<br />
him to “think through me” …. I ask him then to “feel through me” …. again<br />
…. this is the head and the heart once again …. I ask him to “speak through<br />
me” …. I ask him to “feel through me” …. I ask him to “act through me”<br />
….. I ask him to “love through me” …. this is really …. one of the ….<br />
this is the whole (ball) of wax really …. because it’s the yin and the yang<br />
….. the head and the heart . Speaking …. that’s a result of the balance<br />
between the two …. acting …. that is the action …. and loving ….<br />
that’s the divine aspect which covers the whole (ball of wax) …. He just<br />
recently asked me to add to that …. “breath through me” …. so it’s a very<br />
very important meditation.<br />
Those two, if there is anything I can give you today that has been meaningful<br />
to me in my life …. and into hopefully getting a little bit further down<br />
the path …. though I can’t confess getting very far …. those two meditations<br />
will help in every way.<br />
“Anyone else ? …. yes Sir “<br />
” When you breath out …. do you breath out through the branches ?”<br />
“ No, just breath out through your mouth” …. and what this is , really is<br />
all the negativity, every energy that you bring in from the divine source<br />
replaces something in your body and that must be expelled. Imagine breathing<br />
out all the negative unnecessary things. Very important, concentration is<br />
everything …. and I know we all have trouble with concentration …. we<br />
meditate when we go home …. our mind goes here, there, everywhere. Keep at<br />
it . I have trouble everyday …. but …. I just …. through these exercises<br />
….. in time… it’s very simple …. it’s just like seeing God in every single<br />
individual …. seeing beyond the personality …. soon you will see God<br />
everywhere ….<br />
“You breath out through the mouth ?”</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">“Yes …. yes Sir “</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:rgb(146,86,141);">(QUESTION NOT RECORDED CLEARLY) “You were speaking about the negative thought<br />
forms and the positive thought forms …. is it accurate to say that ?????????<br />
we are trying to focus on one at the expense of the other ????”<br />
Well you hopefully are tuning into more positive things than negative things<br />
….. the five senses …. you have to conquer …. …. and that is what<br />
leads to lust, greed, anger, envy, hatefulness, and things like that. Prayer<br />
….. meditation …. that is putting out energy in a positive sense …. that is<br />
connecting yourself with your true nature ….<br />
(QUESTION NOT RECORDED CLEARLY)<br />
“By doing something positive …. you’re setting the negative aside ….<br />
depends on how you spend your time …. “Yes sir “<br />
(QUESTION NOT RECORDED CLEARLY) “????? do we have the time ?”<br />
..of course …. you have thousands of lifetimes you’ve come from and<br />
probably there will be a few more in the future. You got to realise that once<br />
you become aware in reincarnation …. and I think you have to be …. to<br />
intellectually understand how things work …. once you become aware that you’ve<br />
been here before and you’re liable to be here again some other lifetimes ….<br />

(TWO QUESTIONS NOT RECORDED CLEARLY)<br />
He has, in a meditation about a year ago …. both …. Mrs. Krystal and I do<br />
this together …. we do this because we were both naughty in a past life ….<br />
and this is an opportunity …. we balance each others energy out for some<br />
reason …. I don’t understand it …. but Sai says,” You don’t have to ….<br />
just do it !” He brought us to an abyss …. it was like an abyss … it was a<br />
cavern …. what can I tell you? …. and there was the other side ….<br />
and he said ,”Turn around and look behind you .” We turned around and looked<br />
and here were all of the lives of every human …. of every human experience<br />
since the very beginning of time, and they were all connected with three<br />
chains. One chain was the lineage of their father. One chain was the lineage of<br />
their mother and one chain …. it was a karmic chain. He then said , “Look back<br />
the other way. ” …. I know you all think it’s a fairy tale …. but it’s not<br />
….. we looked back …. and he said ,”Over this crevasse …. that is the<br />
new age “, he said , “none of this can come with us …. we must cut the<br />
chains first …. before we can pass over to the other side. ” Now ….<br />
it’s a process that I think he is doing with all his devotees …. I think we<br />
are blessed …. and will be blessed to help others over …. and I think that<br />
is one of the reasons that he has created the Sai family.</span></b></p>

Lord …. there have been many many souls that have, and there are many souls<br />

dynamics of everything. I know that that’s my (gold or goal ?) . In fact, I<br />

</p></div>
<p>&#160; </p>
<p>I generally wake up early in the morning before the sun comes up. Before 5:00 AM it is extremely dark and if I did not remember where everything in my room was I would most likely run into a few things. I enjoy the darkness and the quiet with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning . Recently I decided I would light one small candle. After lighting the candle I sat for a few moments pondering the power of one small point of light. I was amazed at how much illumination one tiny tea light produced. This small light made a huge difference in my ability to see and move about my room. There was no struggle between the light and the darkness, Light Just Was. </p>
<p>This same principle applies to our thoughts and feelings also. One small, new thought can shed light to our whole perspective of life and how we live it. Mostly we have the same thoughts or same type of thoughts over and over again. These are the energy we bring experiences into form to interact with. How much difference would just one small, new type of thought bring about? It is an easy thing to change your life, you simply light a small candle of new thought within you. This light spreads illuminating other thoughts of similar value, giving way to new types of experiences and physical forms to interact with. </p>
<p>There simply is no reason to sit and curse the darkness when by lighting a small candle light will spread throughout. There is also no reason to sit in sickness, disease and poverty when a new thought will lift you from your present state of lack into one of abundance and bliss. </p>
<p>Just as there is no battle between the light of the small candle and the darkness, there is no reason for struggle between a new thought and an unwanted state of being. You have only to hold onto your new thought and watch in amazement as it sheds it&#8217;s creative power to all aspects of your life. </p>
<p>Change is really easy. Going from darkness to light requires only that you hold to the light. A new experience requires only that you hold onto a new line of thought. No struggle, no battle. Just the easy action of allowing one to flow effortlessly into another. </p>
<p>Get up early tomorrow and sit for a few moments in the darkness, then light a small tea light. Let the truth of the light work within you so that understanding flows. Now go forth and speak into Being a new State to experience. </p>

<p>Si les alliances brisent les serments<br />
Si les serments brisent les absences<br />
Si rien n’est vain<br />
Si le courage flambe encore dans les yeux de demain<br />
C’est qu’un homme à se perdre a retrouvé l’amour<br />
Et que l’amour lui rend tous les secrets perdus</p>
<p>Les astres dans les feuilles<br />
Une hirondelle sous un baiser<br />
L’herbe des sources sous l’écorce des corps<br />
L’air un souffle un soupir un sourire<br />
Le soir le ciel et les saisons dans les caprices d’un visage.</p>
<p>Métamorphose indéfinie la liberté s’enflamme<br />
L’homme marche longuement<br />
L’homme foule le ciel<br />
Il écoute à travers les trames des années<br />
Retentir et tomber l’écho froid de ses pas<br />
L’écho de tant de pas<br />
L’écho d’un pas, d’un seul.</p>
<p>Il rit.<br />
Silencieusement.</p>
