Q1: The intention is to make as many people blessing givers before 2012. I organize blessing meetings, but I find it difficult to interest people to come to such a meeting or to interest people to become a blessing giver.  I always speak about oneness and about my personal growth. And I am growing a lot. But still the people around me don't get interested. Is this because of me, because of my state, or is this something that is a more general situation? What can I do? Can you give us blessings to help with this?

B:  The situation will start changing in the next few months.  Actually, the first shift will occur on March 18.  It's only a few days from now there will be an energy shift.  And in the next 3 or 4 months the story is going to be different.  So you don't have to worry about it.  I will of course be giving you a Blessing now, but then things are going to change rapidly, very very fast, so don't worry about it. The next question.

Q2: Yesterday I experienced despair. I went into the despair and then I saw it was not my despair, but the despair of everybody who felt this.  I then gave blessings to all these people and it became softer.  I have it sometimes with sorrow as well: that I feel an immense sorrow and I have the idea that it's not my own sorrow. I find it very heavy to experience all this.  What is the best way to handle this?  How can I make it more manageable?

B:  What you are describing are the symptoms of a natural process.  Now there are texts which describe a classical process.  There are many, many things that happen during a classical process and this has been recorded for thousands of years, and what you are describing to me is a very classical process, and there's nothing much you could do about it.  The process knows what to do and what not to do.  Your job is just to go along, that's all.  And I see this as quite an advanced stage.  So any time now you should become awakened now.  I don't want to talk too much because then you would make a concept out of it.  Just leave it alone.

Q3: Dear Bhagavan, shortly before I went to the Trainers course a very spiritual woman met me in private and came for her first deeksha. She had a strong and extraordinary experience. When she received deeksha, she said, You was in front of her and asked for complete surrender...... and so she did.  After the Deeksha she hardly could express in what state she was; she said there was a huge expansion in her and around her. This state lasted for some days. When I came back from India she phoned me and told that she was very doubting.  Actually she felt disconnected from everyone and everything and it  was a very deep and lonely state. For me, I think, she was experiencing 'the dark night of the soul'.  Bhagavan, can you comment on this?  Thank you Bhagavan!

B:  You seem to be a teacher. (Laughter) You are correct.  It is a dark night of the soul.  The kundalini goes up.  In the first rounds it comes down.  And then it goes up and it comes down.  Sometimes it stays down for a long time, which we call the dark night of the soul.  What actually happens is, finally the kundalini goes up, it is supposed to be Shakti, and there's supposed to be Shiva on top - the male principle and the female principle - and it unites.  It takes some time to unite and then it comes down and stabilizes at the bottom only.  That's when the process is complete.  Until the process is complete, you will have these ups and downs. So this again is yet another classical process, and, as you rightly said, in spiritual circles it is the dark night of the soul, but technically, in the initial stages, the kundalini cannot hold on for long.  It will come down.  It'll go up again, it'll come down, and then, after several rounds, a kind of union takes place for some time, and then again that also comes down, but when it comes down, the state is not lost.  So you're to allow it to simply go on, that's all.  It has its own intelligence.  We cannot do anything about it.  It is intelligently directed.  It has its own intelligence.  It knows what it has to do. 

Looking at you I have a strong temptation to put you through a program and make you awaken now and here.  Maybe next time we'll do it.  You seem to be such good energies as I look at all of you that I'm finding it hard to resist the temptation, but as it is late in India, maybe another time I'm not going to let you escape but to finish you off back there in Holland itself.

So, shall we now meditate for a few minutes.
