Nov 11-13 Kai Chi Do Weekend Retreat
with Charles Robinson at Flowering Heart
 How do you hold onto your sense of Connection – to yourself, Source, and to other people in your life – on a daily basis? You learn to find and hold your Connection by making it familiar. There are some basic principles that guide you. So that when things happen that throw you off balance – as they inevitably will – you find your way back easily. The Kai Chi Do Weekend is a discovery of your Path of Connection – what it feels like, how to get there, how you live there. We teach through example and tangible experiences that bypass mental chatter and uplift your consciousness through simple but profound movements, Energy breathwork, and the dynamic power of community. Join us in the transformation.

Subject: Message from
my heart
Dear Friends in
Oneness,
I rarely write to
you at such length,
but I feel deeply
moved to share with
you some things that
have been in my
heart.
An important quality
for spiritual growth
is BALANCE. In our
Passionate pursuit
of Awakening & God
Realization it is
all too easy to lose
BALANCE. What is
called for is
passionate steady
perseverance on the
Path. There is often
a fine line between
genuine healthy
passion for growth,
balanced with a calm
ACCEPTANCE of
ourselves exactly as
we are are in the
present moment,
versus a
not-so-healthy
ego-driven fanatical
desperation to get
where we want to go,
to become something
other than we are.
Growth begins where
we are, not where we
want to be. All
growth blossoms
naturally and
spontaneously from
simple AWARENESS of
"what is" in the
present moment,
without resistance,
and the acceptance
of ourselves exactly
as we are.
Recently, I have
seen many of my
sisters and brothers
struggling to BECOME
Awakened and God
Realized at the
expense of simply
BEING in peaceful,
trusting awareness
and acceptance of
themselves and of
reality as it is in
the here and now.
The struggle to
"become" is
suffering. Simply
Being in Awareness
is Bliss. Awakening
is a gift of Grace,
not an attainment
achieved through
Herculean efforts,
ego-driven by
desperation. Relax,
breathe, let go. All
is well. The Divine
is in full control
of this process and
all is unfolding
just as it should.
Trust the Divine,
and calmly persevere
in a gentle balanced
way.
Many of us have been
so focused on
"making it" to Full
Awakening, a sort of
"enlightenment-or-bust"
attitude, that we
may have become
disappointed if it
hasn't happened in
an expected
time-frame or we
haven't had the
means to attend a
special process in
India where we are
sure enlightenment
awaits us. Because
of our
tunnel-vision, we
may be unable to see
and appreciate with
Gratitude and
Humility the
profound Growth that
has already taken
place in us and
continues day by
day. As a result,
our faith for
Awakening could
begin to suffer and
we could lose our
enthusiasm for this
whole endeavor.
The Divine is fully
present here and
now. All the Grace,
everything you need
for awakening and
transformation, is
available to you
here and now.
When I come to the
Divine to receive
Deeksha for
Awakening & God
Realization, a
journey without end
or destination, I
drop my expectations
in trust and
surrender springing
from the awareness
that I am in fact
totally helpless. I
say to the Divine,
"You already know
what I want, my
passionate intent.
Give me what I need,
what I am actually
ready for, what is
best for me, what
will serve your Will
and Purpose and make
me a more effective
instrument for your
Grace in the world.
I trust you. I
surrender." Whatever
happens then, I am
humbly grateful and
full of awe, an awe
and gratitude I
would have missed if
my desires were set
on an imagined
outcome that did not
occur as I had hoped
or expected.
Remember that
Awakening is not
anything we may have
imagined it to be.
It is our natural
state. Our
expectations and
concepts get in the
way. Many of us have
had our sights set
on a full blown
cosmic fireworks
display, the
experience of some
paranormal
super-state, so much
so that we have
missed the simple
gentle
oh-so-ordinary and
nothing flashy
awareness of the
present moment free
from the resistance
and interference of
the mind. Too many
of us, obsessed with
the goal of our
dreams, have not
fully appreciated
how much we have
already grown in
Awareness, how
different our
experience of life
is now than when we
first began
receiving Deeksha.
Awakening is a
process, not an
imagined
destination. Enjoy
the journey. Be
patient. Take your
time, and remember
to smell the roses
along the way.
Many of us have been
going though
overwhelming
challenges and life
circumstances this
year, all while
passionately
pursuing spiritual
growth. If we dwell
on the melodrama,
rehearsing it in our
minds over and over
again, telling our
friends the story to
gain their sympathy
and support, we just
perpetuate the
problem, because the
outer world will
faithfully reflect
our inner state
which we are
perpetuating by
continuing to dwell
on the story. As
long as this
continues, we are
increasingly caught
in illusion thinking
"something is
terribly wrong", and
our consciousness
contracts in fear,
which is the core
charge of the mind.
Sri Amma Bhagavan
teaches that all
other emotional
charges are
by-products of fear,
and that all
so-called human
suffering is the
result of running
away from suffering.
If we find ourselves
caught in this web,
we need to return to
the core teachings
of Oneness and
practice the "Art of
Suffering". That is
to drop the story
and ask for Grace to
become aware of the
underlying emotional
charge, the feeling
of contraction
rooted in fear.
Embrace it in
awareness without
resistance and it
will begin to expand
and release its
grip. Causeless
peace, joy and love
will result, and we
will begin to see
that this situation
has been the perfect
occasion for our
learning and growth.
Insights and answers
will come, and we
will again remember
that the Divine is
in control and all
is well.
We need each other
to make it through
the journey ahead.
Community is
essential. This is a
collective awakening
and shift, not an
individual obsession
with our own
personal awakening.
It helps our process
dramatically, maybe
more than we
realize, to receive
(and give) Deeksha
regularly, to share
our struggles and
breakthroughs with
our local community
and to pray for one
anothers needs.
I encourage you to
commit yourself to
support the work of
an active Oneness
Trainer and to
participate in as
many of the the
meetings and
processes offered by
that Trainer as you
can. This could be
the Trainer who
initiated you as a
Deeksha Giver or the
one who first
introduced you to
Deeksha, or it could
just be a Oneness
Trainer who lives
close to you that
you feel drawn to
work with. We
Trainers have been
given special tools
and grace to assist
you with your
process, and we have
each been asked to
gather a core group
of at least 35
people to work
directly with us and
to to be part of the
70,000 beings who
will help Sri Amma
Bhagavan bring about
a shift in the
collective
consciousness of
Humanity. If you are
called to be part of
this aspect of our
work, let us (or
another trainer you
feel drawn to) know
as soon as possible.
One more thing:
Deeksha is a gift to
all of Humanity. It
does not belong to
any single spiritual
tradition, religion
or belief system.
You may be Jewish,
Buddhist, Christian,
Muslim, Taoist,
Hindu, Pagan, New
Age, Indigenous,
Agnostic or Atheist.
Oneness is for
everyone. Some
people approach
higher consciousness
from a purely
secular and
scientific viewpoint
with no interest in
religion at all.
Deeksha supports all
paths. Not everyone
has an enthusiasm
for rituals and
devotion to the
Divine in a personal
form as embodied in
Bhakti Yoga. There
are many different
paths to Oneness
suited to people
with different
interests and
temperaments, like
the path of "Self
Inquiry" which asks
"Who am I?" as a way
to Awakening that
has nothing to do
with ritual or
devotion to God. If
Oneness Bhakti Yoga
hasn't been your cup
of tea, don't worry,
you are not alone.
Although I
personally love the
path of Bhakti, I
have been hearing
this lament from a
number of people,
including Christians
who would like
something more
focused on Christ,
others who have no
devotion to a
personal God and
still others who
just need a
different approach.
Oneness has
something for
everyone. There are
many teachings and
processes, like the
Oneness Experience,
the Oneness
Awakening, 64
Deekshas, weekly
webcast meditations,
secular and
inter-faith Oneness
Blessing meetings
and teleconferences
being offered
throughout the
world. There is no
need to insist that
everyone share a
common passion for
Indian spirituality.
As Oneness Trainers
it is our job to
offer Deeksha in an
way that is open and
sensitive to all
paths and responsive
to the needs and
traditions of the
people we are
serving. For
example, in response
to many requests
from Christians in
the Oneness
community, I am
developing something
for the exploration
of Mystical
Christianity for
those with a
connection to Christ
and the Christ
Consciousness (more
on that in the
future). How about
Oneness and Kabbalah
for our Jewish
friends, Oneness and
Sufism for our
Muslim friends,
Oneness and Brain
Science for the
scientists among us?
There are so many
possibilities. Let's
keep the door open.
We love you, and we
are here to support
you in your process.

Deekshas & PROCESS
FOR FLOWERING OF THE
HEART AND HEALING
RELATIONSHIPS WITH
PARENTS (Samskara
Shuddhi). This will
be deeper than
Relationship
Processes we have
offered before with
special Grace to
help your heart
flower so it can
feel more deeply.
Dryness, numbness &
rigidity of heart
hinders the release
of emotional charges
(samskaras) and
makes Samskara
Shuddhi less
effective. Healing
parental
relationships is one
of the most
important steps on
the path of
Awakening, opening
the door to a deeper
relationship with
the Divine and with
all of life. Even if
you been through
Samskara Shuddhi
several times, there
are deeper layers to
access and this will
help you do that.

soon!

and join together around the world with others whose hearts are flowering,
the Light of Infinite Love will flood the Earth! - M.M.
SRI AMMA BHAGAVAN'S 2011 NEW YEAR MESSAGE
Accelerating change has led to uncertainty in every sphere of life. At the individual level there is insecurity with regards to relationships, work and health and on a global level there is anxiety about the fluctuating market economy, precarious ecology and conflict. It is this experience of humanity as a whole that is affecting the individual all the time. Just as the pressure of the entire ocean is exerted on every droplet so does the entire universe impacts every individual.
The assertion of separateness has destroyed our capacity to work together. It is becoming more and more essential, if we are to survive, that there be a spirit of cooperation with the universe. And one possibly cannot cooperate with another, unless one in himself/herself is harmonious, not broken up or in conflict. As long as the mind dominates all our actions, there can be no cooperation.
Awakening is the flowering of the heart from which the cause of a problem and the arising of suffering is seen. Personal suffering is a thing of the past. All feelings arise and cease without any resistance. Emotional hurts are hard to sustain. One is at home even amidst strangers; the world is home. One feels a greater sense of connection to all people and all things.
This is attainable only when one establishes a powerful connection with the Divine. It is only then man’s responsibility undergoes a radical change. Awakening is a journey to be made not a destination to be reached. Awakening is a process where you wake up from the dream to reality. Life this way is so ordinary that it is extraordinary. One feels that, that is how one has always been.
This New Year would see more and more people ascending into the Divine and the Divine descending into people.
