Reply 		Principles and laws of Spirit
We must not forget the laws of God which make us who and what we are if we are to continue our spiritual advancement. If we forget, we stagnate or backslide. Remember, we are existing in Brahman and are of Brahman. Brahman is vibratory, thus, we are vibratory. Do I need to remind you of karma? Its law of cause and effect is ALWAYS in play. Surely you know this, so why do you toy with this law at your own expense? Your thoughts and emotions radiate vibrations. You know that these vibrations eventually seek out their source, which is you. If you keep the thought alive that you are a victim, you create a bubble of victimhood in which you live. This bubble is a portal into which the vibration of victimhood enters and re-inforces the idea that you are a victim of whatever you think you are a victim of. You then become a feeding cycle and do not even realize it. STOP IT! Remember, you are here to grow spiritually, not to wallow in anything. Not in your feeling of victimization or your feeling of spiritual superiority. These are both karmic attachments. Get away from karmic attachments and grow.
Concerning SRF: Forget it, let it go. SRF means nothing. SRF is just an institution composed of some peoples' mentalities. That is all. SRF can be a wonderful experience like the fragrance of a rose, but you move on to the next experience. SRF can be a tramatic experience, like a nasty marriage and divorce, but you accept the lessons and move on. God is always giving you what you ask for (karma, vibration). If you need to learn a lesson from SRF, God will or has arranged it. It is your responsibility to understand that something specific to you has happened, learn from it and move on, no attachments. This is how you grow spiritually.
We are in every moment creating, just as Brahman is creating every moment. We do this with vibration. Vibration is energy. We are transmitters of energy, the energy coming from us (but originating from God, of course). In maya we have finite energy to use. Think of how much energy is wasted on useless karmic thinking: I'm a man, I'm a father, I'm a kriyaban, I'm a democrat, I'm a victim, I'm a minority, I'm a pauper, I'm overworked, I'm too old, I'm going bald, I'm not good enough, I'm a terrific salesperson, I'm going to change the world, I'm pissed about my crummy childhood, etc. and etc. This constant renewing of your identity begins when you awake. Instantly all the old thought patterns are feed valuable energy they need to exist and be maintained. The maintanence of these thought patterns creates karma which reinforces the false identity or idea of who and what you are, and uses up enormous amounts of energy that could be used for constructive results, like only needing four hours sleep, and development of intuition, and projecting healing energy to the sick and needy, like gaining greater and greater contact with your blessed Guru, becoming more illumined as a being of light, gaining control over your temple and your thoughts, or becoming the master your Master wants you to become.
If you want to change, then you have to change your thoughts so that you create a new thought pattern of who you are. By the way, who you are is maya. Who is a composit of adjectives. What you are is a child of God, a noun - this is the Truth. Who is a false notion or identity. Your only true identity is what you are.
The point is that we are vibrational beings subject to the laws of vibration and we are enacting these laws every moment, for good or ill. Thus, we create our own little worlds of reality, which we may or may not like, but the world is of our doing. We are like tuning forks that emit certain vibrations. If we are forks tuned to the frequency of negativity, anger, jelousy, fear, etc., then that frequency of negativity will recognize us and visit us. This is so fundamental. It is how life and Spirit works. To consciously use the law with wisdom is to be a god, as a personal creative force. Otherwise, you use the law stupidly and get God knows what in your life as a result.
I have chosen to be in control of my life. I monitor my thoughts, and my emotions, and my meditations. I see all as karma and give it all, good and bad, back to God. For why do I need any brand of attachment when I have God, the source of all?
So I could care less about what SRF is or is not. SRF is only a stepping stone on a path. What matters is that I was vibrationally drawn to the Avatar my eternally blessed guru Sri Paramahansa Yoganandaji.
Through my Master's wisdom I know that only he is what is important for my development, not an institution. I do not meditate on SRF. I tune in to the vibration of Master who channels me to God and God to me. I use the law of karma (vibration) to evolve and unfold. It is Master, not an institution, who fills my heart with joy so strong that it hurts. It is Master's vibration which says "Have faith in me, send me your prayers, without doubt I will show you the way." I have learned to surrender, which means simply to refine one's thoughts and state of being to the point of being a vibrational being in tune with another vibrational being. This surrender is expecting nothing to the point in which meditation becomes a 24/7 state of being. This is Master's wisdom in action. As such, it's not that I receive miracles every day, it's that I am aware now of the everyday miracles. To grow, all that matters is to change your thought patterns instead of letting ego rule, which only keeps you enslaved to energy deprivation and maya.
Life as maya is an ongoing stream of tests created by karma which is you. To grow, you must accept, (which means take responsiblity), for what comes your way, learn your lesson and let it go. If you do not, you empower the karma.
I am flooded with wonderful happenings every day. I accept them, thank God and then give them back to God. I let them go. I possess nothing. I leave myself open by not being filled with the vibration of possession. For this life is not about this life, it is about moving on to the next level. This life is a stepping stone. It is a play, as you know. I do not let my ego entangle me in the play. My only entanglement is with the call of my beloved Master. All else is wasted energy, time, and karma. With love to all, sos.

Thank you, sos, for an interesting posting. It contains some thoughtful comments, and I'll think over some of the things you've said. You make good points about not getting sucked into the maw in the wrong way; indeed, perhaps you're right in all that you say. A few comments, though, and I'm sorry about what's to follow, but some of what you said just didn't sit right. You wrote:

Yes, sos, the energy can be used for many constructive results. One can add to your list the discernment of wrongdoing, the development of understanding and discrimination, the development of compassion and fearlessness, attempts to alert others to possible wrongdoings and thus prevent them from suffering (seems that's what Master was doing). I just didn't know that concerning oneself about justice and right behavior was less important than only needing four hours sleep.

I suspect a number of people who have participated in this endeavor are using energy in very constructive ways. It may not be readily apparent to others such as yourself. Yes, there may be ego involved, and we sure are far from perfect; this "false identity or idea of who and what you are" does seem to be a bit of a theme in some of the Walrus discussions.

Very true. It's also true that if the negativity is originating from the leaders, then that presents a bit of a problem. That's why so many had to get away from the negativity expressed in certain quarters of SRF.

I don't mean to be unkind and I, for one, do appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts, but it sounds like you don't care about much else besides your self. Are we all just stepping stones to be trodden on by your divine self on your path to perfect bliss? I can't imagine that you really think this . . . but that's what it sounds like.

I'm glad you've figured out your path to divine realization; I hope you have a most happy enlightenment. Be sure not to trip over the bruised, bloodied, and naked bodies in the gutter. And, thinking of gutters, what's that Good Samaritan story all about, anyway? What would you do if suddenly your beloved Master called you from one of those gutters?

Perhaps your path is not necessarily anyone else's path.

Are you really so sure you understand us so well?

But I'll continue to think over what you've said, and it goes without saying that I might have misunderstood you (and misunderstood a lot besides . . .). If so, feel free to straighten me out, and maybe it's just my ego, but some of what you wrote just grated.

SOS

From my limited experience and knowledge, you have cracked it. It is pleasing to me to hear someone who thinks and someone who thinks for their-self. You are no sheep.

The posting has got me thinking. I apologise as my point is somewhat tangential.

I have been blessed with having met more than one Rishi in my time. The thread which so many politically correct people so completely fail to grasp is that they are all ruthless. True detachment is pure ruthlessness . How can we have true love for all if we are attached. True love is pure spirit and has no attachment in the material plane.

To illuminate my point, Christ went beserk with the traders at the synagogue for trading with worshippers on the Sabbeth. We all knows he loves all but the story demonstrates how ruthless he was.

Or my own example. I knew a baba in India who was shouting at one of his students. The temple shook. I was terrified to witness the event. After he finished the scolding the baba noticed I was in the room and smiled at me. As he smiled I felt his pure love sweep up my body and I was overwhelmed with joy. Again ruthless and full of love. (I later found out the student had started getting power through mantra and had started to use this power to bed young ladies).

To respond to quote from Chuckle Chela,

'...it sounds like you don't care about much else besides your self. Are we all just stepping stones to be trodden on by your divine self on your path to perfect bliss? I can't imagine that you really think this . . . but that's what it sounds like'

I thinks SOS understands the need for being ruthless. This does not necessarily mean that he steps on people. Just that the events of life itself are the stepping stones.

SOS please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi, Roland. I wonder if you could help me understand a few things. I can appreciate that the events of life are “stepping stones.” That makes perfect sense. All experiences are opportunities to be seized or not, as the individual chooses. But I’m not sure I understand what you mean by the need for ruthlessness. So, I have three questions, and I hope you can help me understand.

First, what should be our attitude when others (not the guru) are ruthless towards us?

Second, what is the role of discrimination?

Third, what should be our attitude towards the suffering of our brothers and sisters, particularly when it appears to stem, directly or indirectly, from the actions, perhaps the ruthless or misguided actions, of others?

Thanks for your help.

Reply 		I will speak for SonofSpirit and one of the many.......
For all that may be following this thread, for the guests,

SonofSpirit is this very day out among the homeless, and he does this on a very regular basis, having a position in a shelter among other things. Who of us [chuckle chela] is spending our lives doing this?
As I understand it, SonofSpirit, is in no different circumstances than the average wage earner, he makes time to help others.
Among others who he actually took into his home in the recent past, in 2002, he gave a homeless person housing in his home.
SonofSpirit also in the past couple weeks sent me a gift out of the blue, of the kindness of his heart.
I very much doubt that he would want any of these details known by the public.
So Chuckle Chela, meet parts of SonofSpirit you hadn't met.
As Jesus [possibly] suggested, "Love one another as I have loved you!" SonofSpirit does. I have no doubt that you do too, Chuckle Chela and others and guests.
SonofSpirit has permanently lifted one person that I know of out of homeless. If all of us who have homes and hearts such as his, lifted one fellow being out of homelessness, who would remain homeless???
There is no doubt in my mind that had I asked you SonofSpirit, you would have asked that these details be kept private. Forgive me, you are a gem SonofSpirit, enough light is in you to light the world. You may deny even that you have done so much, some of us know better and love you deeply.

That we all may have a person in our lives like SonofSpirit,

In speaking for this third person who SonofSpirit loved as himself, one of the many grateful to this Good Samaritan, may I say SonofSpirit is caring far, far beyond what normal hearts seem to exhibit. Mr. SonofSpirit, THANK YOU! :D
