Lets see, I’ll try that one or maybe this one as if I was going to a new restaurant to taste their various delights.  Someone out their  must know the answers that my heart is seeking.   Sure enough, walking that fall day in October 1970, I picked up the Village Voice Newspaper in New York City and their was a picture of a funny looking man, somewhere in his sixties, who reminded me of the commedian Jerry Calonna (not sure of the spelling o f his last name).  Then there were those words, “Don’t Worry Be Happy” and he goes by the name Meher Baba.  So, I had to check this guy out.

They had meetings in those days on every Friday starting at 8 PM.  Sure enough as soon as I entered the room, I started, as I recall, having this uncontrollable laugh which I could not stop.  I hoped this Meher Baba had the answers to my existence.

Of course, like most guru’s, as most were called had many books to scan.  Some written by the guru and some by his  or her followers.   I did not know immediately that Meher Baba called  himself the Avatar  (God Man)of this age.  He proclaimed himself to be the same as Jesus, Budah, Krishna and others.

As I scanned the varous books depicting  his journey, I saw a book entitled God Speaks.  Finally someone has the answer to all my questions.  Whose on first, whats on second and so  on.   I   remember  two pages in particular  that read “out of the everything comes nothing and within the nothing is nothingness. ”  Now what the hell did that mean?  Well I picked up a dictionary to  find out the meanings to those words and I still could not understand.

Well, some years later, I got the meaning of that sentence.  God is Everything, nothing is the illusion and nothingness is all  the paraphernalia in illusion.  Wow, is that deep………….and of course true.

Yes, I have had many experiences with Meher Baba since those early days, some in dreams, some just visually  seeing Him and yes in meditations as well.  Because of my faith in  Him I traveled to India  to taste the nectar of His love.  He died in 1969 but at least, I could meet his disciples and visit HIS tomb.  That journey will be in another blog at a later date.

I am soon going to count up from one to three and when we get to three you will be fully aware, experiencing the radiant beingness of your own HIgher Self.  From this  perspective, you experience clear guidance and insight into any area of your life.  So the journey began with the Higher Self who has been with me since taking on human form, wow.

Connecting with one’s Higher Self is simply changing frequencies.  It was through Transformational Hypnotherapy that I began in earnest to understand that part who is non-judgmental, detached, loving and offering guidance when asked.  Connecting with the Higher Self is another sub-personality or part that comes fourth when shifting frequencies.  Some may have experienced their inner child, control, anger, wisdom part and so on which are truly different frequencies.  On another note, if I were to ask you a word or phrase to describe you, I could connect to that part.  Another words, we are a conglomerate of various parts or sub-personalities.

Yes, we all have a Higher Self which can be seen, felt, or heard depending on which of your senses is most dominant.  Mine came as light and offered me help to uncover my true and loving self.  I learned much on this journey (which began in earnest in 1990), releasing the false which hindered  me from accepting people as they are.  In order to begin to love, the Higher Self  had to teach me to  allow my heart to be vulnerable, and not be influenced how I was viewed by others.

The Higher Self can also be the gateway to uncovering your Spirit Guides.  If one has tried there are three very important  questions to ask. First, are you my true Spirit Guide?  Second, are you here for my highest good, learning, and growth?  Third, shine light from you heart to the Guide.  If the Guide stays it is a true Guide and not a mischievous one.  Most of our Guides hang out in the Astral Plane or somewhere close by.  One must be careful when  connecting with Guides and not be manipulated by the false ones who only want to use your energy for personal gain.

Since the journey began, I have now learned to align myself with other peoples energies in order  to find out what  keeps the individual from discovering his/her truth.  What triggers keep one from expressing their heart, what their lessons are, what are their gifts, etc.  When you know who you are truly are, you will know that you are not separate from God or Spirit.

Because of this journey to truth and knowingness, I am not  caught up in the worlds travail because it is all God’s plan. How wonderful to not be swayed by politics, famine, floods, drought, etc. because the planet must now cleanse itself before it can begin to heal.  My Higher Self knows this truth and so do I, the human who incorporates that which knows.  It is truly fun to be alive………………
