Ohio: Namaste Bhagavan!

Bhagavan. Nice to see you all. Love you all.

Ohio: We love you! Thank you for speaking with us and staying up late for us today.

Bhagavan: Thank you. Thank you so much. So could we start now?

Ohio: Yes, thank you.

Bhagavan: We'll go ahead with the first question.

Q1: The first question is, Bhagavan, how can we best connect to you and Amma energetically, so that we can converse energetically, we could directly receive guidance for both higher states of consciousness and for fulfilling our lives purpose?

Bhagavan: Well, if you could build up a bond with me like a brother, a father or a friend or whatever you want. If you build up a strong bond, it must be a real relationship. if you simply say "Bhagavan, Bhagavan!" nothing is going to happen. Who is Bhagavan to you? Or who is Amma to you? Your father or your mother, or your brother or your sister, or just your friend? And if you were to see Amma and Bhagavan as your parents, they must be your friendly parents. If you see them as your brother and sister, they must be very friendly with you, friendly brother, friendly sister. And if they happen to be your friends, very friendly friends. That friendship is very important.

And then after the bond has been built up, if you strongly desire that we should connect with you and guide you, we can connect with you very powerfully, either inside you or outside you. Sometimes it could be nearly physical. And we can talk to you, we can guide you step by step, we can do very intensive processes for you. All things are possible. But it depends upon how intensely you want it to happen and whether you have a bond or not and whether there is a friendship in that bond.

Depending on these factors, you can connect with us in an instance and we'll be right there as though we are right sitting next to you there and we can guide you. That's possible. Many people do it, you could also try it. That's the answer for the first question. So we move on to the second question.

Q2: Bhagavan, the second question, Bhagavan, our local blessing group will be growing quickly now that the new initiation processes are active for blessing givers. And since the initiation is after two days, less time is available during the process for releasing of charges and old patterns that are no longer relevant and may be blocking the growth. In order to speed the growth, what do you see now are the best methods for releasing blocks and charges? Do you see us doing classes and sessions on a local level for this purpose? Or is this best left to the individual to do it in privacy?

Bhagavan: I think for the year 2010, it will be good that after the initiation, you call them back for classes and work on them. Maybe in 2011, I think the processes could become automatic after the blessing. But until that happens, we shall wait for that to happen. If it happens after six months, it's very good. The moment you give the blessing, the processes could automatically start. If that happens, nothing more is required.

But as of now, we can't exactly say when it is going to start. Most probably it will start in 2011. So until then, I would suggest you call them back after the two days, whenever is possible, and continue with the work of clearing the blocks. That is very, very important and essential.

But hopefully, very soon, the blessings would also be able to do the processes automatically. So that is the answer for the second question.

Q3: We move on to the third question, Bhagavan. The third question is, Bhagavan, if blessing a particular business or organization, such as a school, on a regular basis, will be helpful to raise the levels of consciousness of that business or organization, how important is this in the larger picture of raising the levels of consciousness of all mankind?

Bhagavan: The blessing is a very unique and precious tool and you could use your intelligence and apply it wherever you want. The blessing could be given to animals, to plants, even to machinery, even to a house. So it could be used anywhere for whatever good purpose you want it to be used. So when you give it to a school, the school would definitely progress. The children and their teachers would definitely grow in their consciousness.

If you give it to a business, the business will prosper. It can be applied anywhere and everywhere. And whenever you're giving a blessing, either to an individual or a group or an organization, you're connecting them to the Divine. Because the deeksha or the blessing is actually coming from the Divine. And you're helping the Divine to reach out to mankind, to reach out to the individual or the collective. So that is basically your role. And with every blessing that is being given to an individual, or a group or even to a country, you are helping raise the average level of human consciousness. It will be moving up and up and up. Every single blessing is like a drop in the ocean. And with many, many blessing givers giving many, many blessings, the Divine and man are going to come very close to each other.

This whole work is to bring God and man together. You may use the word God or the Divine or whatever you want, but then it's about bringing these two energies together. And God, as far as we understand, is your own Higher Self. You are disconnected from your own Higher Self. We're trying to bring yourself and your Higher Self close together. The deeksha or the blessing in fact flows from the Higher Self. That is it's source. So the Higher Self is trying to connect to man and it's most likely to connect in 2012. It is moving in that direction and we have to help the Divine. The Divine also needs our help.

That's what we are trying to do. So when the two come together, most possibly in 2012, we can definitely see a shift in human perception on the planet. Man and man would come closer together. All divisions might cease, because all conflict arises from division, all kinds of divison, and division arises from the sense of separateness. That would simply disappear.

How would it disappear? Only the Divine can do it. We can not do it. The Divine can do it and it wants to do it. That's why we have said in the beginning, the One becomes the many and then the many becomes the One. We are at some kind of midpoint, probably for the whole Universe itself, and from now on it will be the many becoming the One.

The crucial turning point could be 2012 and we're just getting ready for it. But if you forget the Divine, everything is lost. If you only stick to the teachings, you're not going to get anywhere at all. All teachings must be accompanied by Grace. And the Divine is the one that sends the Grace, through the deeksha or the blessing. Unless we connect the two, nothing is going to happen. We're going to miss out on the whole thing. That's why it's so important that soon there are more trainers, who will be producing a lot of blessing givers, who will themselves be giving the blessing. It should be a virtual explosion, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Finally things must start happening. So I would suggest you are doing wonderful work, great work. Keep on increasing the blessings as much as possible.

So I think the three questions are over, so could we now meditate for three minutes?

Ohio: Yes..
