The next Breakthrough Day is coming up – Saturday April 20. Pat Landrum and I were talking about how beyond great it would be if as many people as possible came to the Center and we all mediated together.
I know we don’t use this chat very often but I thought I would jump in this morning.
I want to encourage everyone in Denver to consider participating, live and in person, at the Center.
If there is anyone from out of town who would like to come to Denver for the weekend, to be in the Center for Breakthrough Day – PLEASE CALL ME. I can help find a you place to stay – arrange rides from the airport – etc.
Let’s see what we can do all together…..for the Lord.
Thank you Linda and Pat for encouraging everyone to come to the Center if they can.
It is really exciting that we have the possibility to be live at the Center together for this day.
And it is 2 days after honoring Kalindi on the day of her passing, so I am sure it will be a great day permeated with her energy.
love, Tamara
Dear Freedom Walkers,
I’m almost a year late, but what is time? We are timeless. The work is timeless. The love is timeless. I just watched the FW Path Call from March 4, 2023. It was the first one with a focus on The Lady’s Awareness Talks. To those of you on the call, I was full of joy to see you and be with you. For those of you who watched the recording – wasn’t that incredible? The timing today is perfect for me. I am so grateful for Freedom Walk, the Learning Center, the tools and everything we have together.
My “baseline” is self-righteousness in a particular circumstance (and there are others). I am feeling encouraged and confident that I will make progress to free myself and lighten the intensity. I even believe that in the specific circumstance, I can be free of self-righteousness. And then the illusion of my mind will give me another circumstance. I will play whack-a-mole with the illusion for as long as it takes, which will probably be the rest of my life.
I see how my self-righteousness is only hurting me. Just like unforgiveness is poison that only hurts me. (Not to say that my behavior and attitude do not hurt others at times.)
Thank you and Happy Birthday dear Lady. Thank you to you all. I love you. Kat
May Birthdays! Happy Happy Birthday!!

I am in the middle of packing for a trip and I was feeling uneasy about the clothes I was going to bring and how NOT to pack too many. I laid out some black and white pieces. I remember Kalindi’s “Anti Chaos Dresscode” when we were doing the SAC System. I always feel Kalindi whenever I am working on my bags, or my travel kits. So I am reminded of keeping my colors simple – black and what and one other color. So that is what I am doing for this trip. My whole nervous system relaxed. Thank You Kalindi!! Even through our clothes and bags, Kalindi found a way to help us learn to be more calm.
People in Denver. Remember there is Kalindi Mart. As you go through your closets, keep in mind nice items you are letting go of and bring them to Kalindi Mart. Especially Black and White!!! And when you go there, I”m sure you will find something for yourself!! It’s all in the spirit of Her.
I am ever so grateful for these Awareness Talks.
It has shed so much light on Tools of Light, and I am experiencing one I used in a meditation many years ago, when I had huge movement with one particular illusion.
Now, it comes back with more awareness and so much more clarity for the whole process of being aware of an illusory state, instantly using the Tool of Light and not even giving that illusion a chance at settling in through the mind.
And that, on a very good day, over and over again, one illusion after another.
Practiced with unwavering passionate desire, it leads me to a quiet place, grounded in Him.
Now, it’s about remembering to stay in enough awareness all the time, this is now my challenge and prayer.
These conversations with Rachael and John, show me also how our leaders put into words how this work is done, and how they open the way for all of us.
And it reminds me of flying back home after my 1st Intensive, and devouring “Breaking the Cycle” , the whole book, and being so amazed that it is possible to describe the way Home.
Until then, I saw the spiritual path much like a maze that one might one day have the luck to get out of. I had never thought it was possible to explain all this. To point so precisely, and doing that with the use of words.
And here we are, doing just that. Thank you Lady and team, for paving the way.
To all of you in Denver: I am so glad that physical proximity and togetherness is happening again at the Center!
And I say this with a little envy!
HI Lena – I just saw this today. Thank you for posting here. It helps all of us when we share. I am always happy when I see you on Zoom. Thank goodness we have the Zoom to keep us close. I hope you are doing well. Keep in touch. Love to you – Linda
I started a new strategy in my self-care. I turn my phone off – all the way off for periods of time. Last night I turned it off at 5:30pm and didn’t turn it back on until morning. It felt strange, but liberating. It felt grounding, calming and relaxing. I also sent an email to my siblings, told them what I was doing and gave them my husband’s phone number as an emergency contact.
I don’t know if I fell asleep or went to the True Realm. I went somewhere. Thank you Torsten. Thank you Gourasana. Thank you Lady. The was wonderful – the meditation last night.
Hello,
Birthday Days for April!!!
1 – Linda
1 – Teresa Incer
13 – Maureen
16 – Lyndy
Happy Birthday to you all. Love and many blessing to you. 🙂
I just read a post on-line on how the nuance of Isolation may look like Solitude. And I am wondering how many of us are still isolating – and calling it solitude? This really got me to thinking. I have talked to different people about coming back to the Center to mediate. I am met with an assortment of “good reasons”. So maybe ask yourself – am I isolating? What is it in me that I am not coming to back to the Center? You can be honest with yourself and get to the nugget of truth there for yourself.
I just want to invite everyone in Denver (Freedom Walk Path and Path to Ultimate Freedom – to step out and come back into the Center for Thursday Meditations. Of course if you are sick or immune compromised, that is the truth for you.
We just had a cleaning day and the entry way, lobby and bathrooms are super conscious. We are hoping to open Wednesday nights for Public Meditations, hopefully in May. So in April, we can breathe some life into our Center and each other by meditating together.
Just a thought and an invitation. Thank you for considering it. Love, Linda
I always love to hear from you Linda. I’m not in Denver anymore but I look forward to the day when I am back in the room with you all. In this moment, I can see it. Last night I was looking for several people on Zoom. Later I realized, “they are probably at the Center!” That brought a smile to my face.
So good to hear from you Kat!! Yes! There were over 15 of us at the Center last night. It is really so good to be all together in the Place of Prayer. Looking forward to when we can have Breakthrough Days there again and maybe you can come for the weekend or something.!! Wonderful to hear about your mediation experience last night too! Amazing we can be together and not be together physically. Lots of Love!!!
The Freedom Walk Path Call on March 4th was AMAZING! It felt like a Go Deeper Day exploring the Awareness talk from The Lady, and to have Ginny be with us…for me she can always help me go deeper. A blessing. It’s a call I will refer back to time and again – the teachings and sharings were so rich. Thank you everyone who had time to share!
The blessing for me is that during the call I delved into a situation I have been living with for a couple months and was able to see the illusory aspects of how I was allowing myself to be in a swirl / agitated by the circumstances…and that through this awareness I could stop that behavior. Let Go – Give Up – Surrender came to me full of Gourasana’s love.
Awareness has so much Light!
Please share what you’re experiencing. I love being on this spiritual path will of you.
Love,
Maureen
I was so happy to read your blog Maureen (on the day you sent it). You inspired me to watch the video of the FW Path call and to keep moving with The Lady. I wanted to write on the blog and today I did!

Thank you for your encouragement, Linda! One person is interested and now I’m posting the invitation on Instagram and Facebook. I might start going door to door. Kalindi did say some people might think we’re crazy, right?! Crazy for the Lord!!!! Love you all!!!!
I’m feeling so grateful today and have been nervous about inviting people to Kalindi’s birthday so I took action and sent an email out to about 25 people and I hope that at least one person who hasn’t gone to an event registers. That is my prayer and also that at least one person is touched by something she says.
Hi CJ! Good for you!! We can just share our love and connection with Kalindi, with God, with ourselves with everyone. You never know who will be touched by YOU just being YOU!. I can only encourage you to keep following your desire to share the love, share what you are finding. It’s all beyond our minds, right?!
Thank you for the inspiration to keep opening and risking to share!!

I just invited seven friends to east coast meditation. I mentioned it was a great way to start the weekend. Thank you Public Offerings for starting this earlier in the evening :).
Lord, send them the love and encouragement (there’s courage in that word!) to come be with you and let their light shine bright.
That is wonderful Maureen. Those Friday night mediations are so special – they are “live” now!!
And I was also reminded that people can also attend the meditations in Germany – they are during the day here. There are more and more opportunities to invite people to meditation and attend ourselves.
I did Munich’s meditation a few times when I was on east coast last summer/fall and it was great. Nice to connect with our European friends.
Friday meditation was wonderful – thank you, Bruce! Small but inspired group of us from all time zones. I was agitated a lot last week and mediation allowed me to let it go!
We are blessed with so many meditation opportunities to connect with God’s Light & Love.
April is upon us bringing an opportunity to shower these friends with Birthday Love :).

I am sitting here this morning in love with The Lady. It is Her Birthday Month. She is taking time for much needed rest. Thank God. I pray for Her every day.
We have Her streamed meditations on Thursdays, so we can meditate with Her, and feel Her in the room with us. I am in awe of what is happening fro me personally in these meditations.
We have received precious current recordings from The Lady to Freedom Walk. Sharing Herself and important teachings, as she responds so personally to people. Her straight talk about Covid, the world problems, venting, sex, all of it.
And then I think of Her Team. I feel so much love and appreciation for the dedication and devotion that this group of loving disciples embodies; day in and day out. They take such good care of Her in Her life. They are the gears that make it possible to us to have our current experiences of The Lady.
So I say to the Team for the Lady. Thank you from my heart for bringing us The Lady. In all the ways that you do. Thank you.
It was wonderful to have our FW path call, it felt like a gentle wake up after this rest period where I lost touch with my spiritual container. Going over Kalindi’s basic guidance I appreciate the spirit that we created together, that it is not about what I have or should do but rather what is fuelling my connection. I got connected to the reason I am doing this work in the first place, which is to be connected to love within myself and share it with the world around me. Then when I look at the list of suggestions, I could see what will support me in achieving that. I always want to take more than I can do, so I let go of a few things I wanted to do but seemed too much and I took on a few things that will support me in my connection to Love. I looked at what will be easy for me to do, what I can follow right now. Where 1-hour meditation seemed too much, I decided to have a cup of coffee with God in the middle of the day, to be reminded of Him. I took on reading breaking the cycle at the beginning of each day and at the end of it, both of those things seemed easy enough for me to follow. I also recommitted myself to the FW meditation on Thursday night. I feel that the main thing I let go of is trying to be a good spiritual follower and instead, I got connected to the reason I am doing it all, how can I use Kalindi’s basic guidance to support my connection. In the past, without being completely aware of it, I was too busy looking right that I forget the reason behind my actions. I could feel ashamed for not taking more or looking more like a spiritual follower (how does that look anyway?) I don’t care about this that much anymore, this is what I am letting go of. At the end of the day, I am doing this for me, to fuel my connection, and I don’t want my ego to feast on my true desire.
Much love to you all
Avi
Thank you so much Avi! When Sara mentioned the seven of you in Australia on our Call yesterday, I thought of you with so much love. Looking forward to a time when we can be together on Zoom (and someday in person). I know there is a big time difference. In the meantime we are here for each other – across the miles in heart and soul!!
The call today was incredibly helpful! I received so much from Kalindi’s Basic Guidance and from listening to everyone share. I am inspired to put what I found into practice!
Here is the information I shared about Jobs for God opportunities.
We need event managers for Wednesday night meditations. Currently we have three people on that team and would very much like to have one or two more people. If you are interested in an event manager job, you can contact Michele Campbell at michelec@miracle.org.
We need volunteers to transcribe and audio-check recordings and proofread and edit publications. Contact David Kramer at Davidk2010@gmail.com if you are interested in any of these jobs.
We still need at least one more person on the Media Tech team. You can contact Pete Stewart at petes@miracle.org if you are interested in a media tech job.
You can also contact Deborah Byers at deborahb@miracle.org to discuss anything about your service.
Thank you everyone for the call today!
Love,
Peggy

Yes, the month of Love! The world needs it now more than ever and I’m ready. I just read my promise after the last seminar to bring more Love, Compassion, and Joy to the world so I’m starting today. Here is a Sufi prayer for the new year:
O Thou who abidest in our hearts, most Merciful and Compassionate God, Lord of Heaven and Earth, we forgive others their trespasses and ask Thy forgiveness of our shortcomings. We begin the New Year with pure heart and clear conscience, with courage and hope. Help us to fulfill the purpose of our lives under Thy divine guidance.
If anyone is interested, to celebrate Rumi’s birthday there will be a Zikr this Friday both in person and by zoom. DEETS: Zikr in Denver – 7 PM MST (2 AM Sunday UTC) – WEAR ALL WHITE!! – Rocky Mountain Miracle Center – Supper with beloveds beforehand, join us at Mad Greens if you wish, 5:30 PM…bring a vegetarian snack or dessert to share during our post-zikr conversation – $15 to $30 suggested…Zoom Here!
Since we don’t have meditation tomorrow night, I’m going to listen to the amazing meditation with The Lady from last Thursday if anyone wants to join me in the True Realm.
I wasn’t able to join the session today and I’m so glad we are able to submit our prayers for the world. Thank you so much, CJ
CJ and Others that could not attend today –
You’ll want to watch the video – it’s 3 hours of pure LOVE. So much depth from people’s prayers for the world and personal sharing. Truly an inspiration. We’ve found a wonderful spiritual path 🙂
Wow, what an amazing meditation last night…THANK YOU, Bruce! You put so much love into the playlist and talks. Truly spectacular holiday gift. So much light came in. All the suggestions that Katy gave us for ways of giving was really wonderful too. I feel blessed.
It’s the holiday season! Please share your love and joy to our December birthday friends –

Thank you Linda and Ann Marie so very much for the Wall of Prayer. I did not know what to expect but when I joined Zoom Saturday evening it was as if I had walked into the room. An energy washed over me and brought me to tears. This was something I had not expected at all. As I reflect back now I am in awe of the power of our collective prayer and how it carried us all. It makes me wonder what could happen if we did the same with another focus. What if we prayed for the world to feel the Host or prayed for the success of the Mission or prayed for the Path members to break free? We could have a weekend event or we could do it for a month and have an hour each day to come together or some other combination entirely. Maybe this is our super power. What do you all think?
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Prayer is our super power!! For sure! I am so glad you (and everyone) participated in the Wall of Prayer. Our collective desire had a huge impact. We need each other. I love your ideas and let’s see what can happen going forward. Some other people have had a similar desire for more. Tamara invited us to write prayers and share them at our next call – I am looking forward to this. The sincerity and depth of our desire for God in this world is unstoppable. Sending you much love!!
Thank you for starting this post. Days before the Gateway things were so intense and I remembered that I am part of the seminar energy especially since I had at least 3 friends in it. The Wall of Prayer helped me to stay focused on them and the others so thank you so much. They had an incredible experience…beyond words as we all know. For me, I’m seeing how much I’ve changed and how much stronger I am than before my first seminar. I started a new job a month ago and it ended up being horrible and my boss was a bully (again ugh) so I just quit. I know in my heart there is something better and I’m meditating and taking action. To take a stand for myself is taking a stand for others. That is my purpose and I see it so clearly now. I can’t wait to see the video of The Lady talking to the participants tonight and to keep meditating with them and The Lady, Kalindi and Gourasana!!!
Thank you, Linda for listening to the whispers and getting the wall of prayer to happen. Thank you, AnnMarie for helping to technically produce it and for posting the prayers all weekend long.
I did not realize how many people were on through the weekend. It was amazing.
Nick and I had the zoom link up most of the weekend and had the music playing in the office or up in the living room. Everything I did through the weekend was in a state of prayer like we were all at the Center, doing our different service.
I was really touched to feel how much we all love to give this way and how an event pulls us all together in this blessed state of giving in prayer. Although I did not know the names or faces of each participant I went around each circle in my heart and gave to each one of the people in each circle…and to the leaders and staff who had the benediction of being in the room together.
At the end of the day Sunday when we put our cameras on and danced together I was filled with such an ecstasy – like when the staff all come out into the room for the final let go. AMEN!
I came away longing to have more days/weekends like this where we all just come together in prayer for specific people to be picked up and carried by the Host!
I love you all so much and am grateful we have this depth of connection that we were able to staff this Gateway seminar as the wall of prayer.
Love, Pat
I would like to take time here to personally thank everyone who participated in the Wall of Prayer for this first virtual Love’s Awakening Gateway. There was a continuous flow of people throughout the weekend. Friday night we had 43 people join in.. Saturday there were 65. And on Sunday 54 joined in. Whether you came on the Zoom for a short time or you stayed and prayer for longer – your prayers were felt. And if you didn’t join the zoom, but prayed to yourself knowing the Gateway was happening, you also made a difference. Thank you .We have the most amazing people in our congregation from all around the world, who come on the took the time to go within and prayer.
Thank you to those of you who also took the time to share their heartfelt prayers. On the screen, we all got to read and experience the depth of love and support in these beautiful touching prayers.
The leaders and staff felt you. And the participants felt the Love coming their way in support of their movement and connection God.
Please, you are all welcome to share on this thread what happened for you while you were giving selflessly to the Gateway.
I wasn’t exactly ready to post this – but it posted on it’s on – so here you go – typos and all! I don’t need to be perfect – I just need to show up. So really – we all would love to hear what happened for each of us, as we gave collectively to this Love’s Awakening Gateway. Thank you – Much Love!!!
As we celebrate Autumn in the US and Spring in Australia, feel free to shower these Beautiful Gems with LOVE on their special days in November.

I did not share on the Freedom Walk Call, so I thought I would write something here. It was so helpful to hear Tamara recap the year 2021. Wow! During our debrief week, I hope to debrief 2021!! At one point I couldn’t remember what my focus was…and then I remembered. Depth. An example of setting a prayerful intention and having it all evolve. I do feel more depth in myself, I am more in my body and present. I feel more grounded in my experiential knowing of Gourasana, Kalindi and The Lady. At the beginning of the year, it felt like an impossible thing. “With God, Everything Is Possible.” The St. Francis Prayer is also something I wanted to focus on this year. I have it framed in my office and read frequently. I got a St. Francis stature for our back yard. I love this prayer and will keep learning from it.
I also remembered that Ally, my bonus dog at work, died suddenly in July.. And my Aunt Sheila passed in September. My aunt had been fighting cancer for a long time and I felt so at peace for her when she died. She took me under her wing when my own mother died, from injuries in a car accident, when I was 18. Death and Dying has been a part of this year. It is always good to remember this.
I am so very happy about the Love’s Awakening Gateway in November. I am happy to be helping with Come to God. Sharing the Love. The Love that is possible even in the most terrible conditions in the world. The GMP is so important.
Speaking of GMP – if you were not at the Freedom Walk Meditation last night with Tor. I highly recommend you meditate with him at some point on your own. My take away from him is “Now is the best moment…..to……(fill in the blank) find more desire, increase your prayer, call on God. “NOW is the best moment” – that’s what I thought of this afternoon to share on this blog. Now is best moment……my new mantra….
Dear Freedom Walkers,
I wanted to let you know that we sent flowers to Jim Leonard’s family on behalf of everyone on Freedom Walk for Jim’s family memorial this past Sunday. (A beautiful bouquet– I wish we could post pictures) We got a note back from Jim’s wife and son:
Thank you for the beautiful flowers delivered to Jim’s celebration of Life at his home on Sunday….beautiful expression of the love he had and has for Freedom Walk and Center for the Golden One.
Much love and respect..
Cherie and Brody Leonard
We also had donated (on behalf of everyone on Freedom Walk) to the fund that Josh’s family asked for in honor of Josh’s brother Steven: We Rise Above the Streets Recovery Outreach in NY.
-Tamara
Tamara, thank you for representing all of us on Freedom Walk with condolences for Jim and Josh’s brother, Steven. Maybe this is something we can coordinate going forward, as our dear friends pass? Reaching out individually is important and there is a nice feeling about something gifted as a group.
I was inspired after hearing the Joanne was featured in March of this year. I went back and watched her video. I felt like she was right here with us. Her sparkle and zest for her life and her path touched me.
Thank You Tamara.
Thank you everyone so much for a beautiful call today. It was very nice to hear from you all. Lisa asked me what the song was at the end and I didn’t get a chance to answer – it is Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson. I love you all.
-Sydney
The Center News is out today!
I don’t have Andriana’s email and I have to reach out to tell her how much I loved her video – yes – Freedom Walk – day by day – a choice each day – and we can look back and see how far we have come. So real and heartfelt!! Thank you for making this video for us!! Sending lots of Love to you!!
And Julian!! – Thank you for your intimate sharing with us. Who you are and how you found your way. Sharing your connections with Gourasana, Kalindi and The Lady was a palpable gift I could feel deeply. Thank you!
Love,
Linda

Thank you, Kat, for posting and thank you for calling me today. I have been wanting to post and saw where I was judging myself like who wants to hear what I have to say? So, forget the illusion and here it goes. So much has been happening as I go back to school and classes are on Saturday mornings so I miss most of the events (not Breakthrough…I’m going no matter what) but I’ve been watching all of the recordings and feeling all of you and feeling the pain and heartbreak of what is happening in this world. I recently had to take my dog Milo to the emergency vet hospital and faced that he might die. As I was sitting in the hospital for 3 hours, I decided to use my tools of calming down my mind and nervous system. I went into a deep state of prayer and asked Gourasana what to do. The message I heard was “Give”. Simple, right? So, I started asking other people what was wrong with their pets and by the time I met with the veterinarian, I was feeling ready to hear whatever she said. She had some difficult information to tell me but I listened very calmly and focused. I then asked her what it’s like being an emergency veterinarian (a career I wanted myself at a young age) and she said that it’s really tough. She is still paying tons of student loans and everyday she has to tell people bad news about their pets. I listened and had tears in my eyes. She said, “You can cry.” and I said, “You can too.” We connected in that moment and I could feel God’s love right then and there. She then showed me photos of her dog and we ended up laughing. When I went back the next week to have a follow up visit, I ran into her and she said she was glad to see me again and we connected again. It’s still unclear if Milo is going to recover but I know that this experience is bringing me closer to Gourasana. He will never leave me even when everything else is gone. I’m crying just typing this as it’s opened up my heart even more. Every day that I have Milo in my life is a gift and I have been more present and feel a deeper love for him. Amazing! Thank you for listening to me and I think it’s important that we all stay connected in some way, through a phone call, text or song. Love you all, CJ
CJ – Thank you so much for writing! It really is a gift when we share ourselves – when you share yourself – whether its a woman at the vet, or your friends on Freedom Walk, You shine so bright!!
I’m sorry to hear about Milo – I didn’t know he had not been well. Yes take good care of him and be thankful for every day. I lost Ally the end of June (one of my little dogs at work) So I relate deeply. Let us know how he is doing.
Good luck also with the new job! I love sharing songs with you and keeping in touch!
CJ
I love your post – so real, so beautiful, so full of your heart and soul :). I realized that I know you have dogs and cats but didn’t know their names. I love the name Milo, and that he has helped you open your heart to more giving. What a gift. Be in the love, my friend. Love always, Maureen
Dear Sisters and Brothers on Freedom Walk,
I am catching up with you all by watching the recording of the FW Path Call from September 25th. I’m in the middle of it but I just want to say in this moment how much I appreciate all of you, that we are walking this path together, that we have such a precious opportunity for transformation, that we have The Lady, each other, the tools and teachings. I had to miss the call, but thank God for the technology that lets me be there – just in a different time and place. I will write again after I finish the recording and I will write to share how I am facing the climate crisis.
I’m still listening. I stopped the recording, inspired by Sharon, and called someone and invited the person to Breakthrough Meditation Day next week.
So good to hear from you Kat! Look forward to hearing more from you. I also missed the call and have not listened to it yet. I am inspired to catch up with everyone on the recording!! Much Love –
It’s time to celebrate birthdays! Tamara let me know that Kalindi always personally honored everyone’s birthday and sent them a prayer or a quote, so we wanted to keep up that tradition.

Yes, I’ll be posting names and birthdays prior to the start of each month. I’m glad you love this!!
I missed the second EP sharing and this past Freedom Walk Meditation. These are the places that I love seeing everyone and hearing how each of us are doing. I will listen to the recordings for sure. My house had a really good sharing last Sunday. Such a beautiful example of how connected we are in the Love of God. We are committed to doing our inner and material work in this EP rounds of preparations. It really is on going and will never stop.
I am taking some time off from work and am on my own journey this month out of town. I will miss the Breakthrough Day – but will be back for the Freedom Walk call at the end of the month. I also missed the last call – I was in the middle of alot of feelings around someone close to me having just tested positive for Covid. I had been near, but not closer enough (?) to contract the virus. It brought up so much. It is all so very real. The person is now ok, their family is OK. I have tested negative twice. But this was yet another wake up call on so many different levels.
Come to God is so alive – I love that people are registering. I have a deep prayer for people to find their way – to this meditation – and the Gateway….into the heart of God.
On my drive I listened to The Lady’s commentary talk, for one of Kalindi’s Come to God talks. She (Kalindi & The Lady) pierced something so deeply in me. I was in tears and feeling the truth of really what we have here – what is sincerely offered. I really can’t put words to this feeling in me. I am thankful to have this path – this open Gateway –
test
I have so so much grief right now. The Emergency Prep program and the call on Monday night. The news, all of it. I planned to make time to watch Breaking Boundaries again and have not done it. So confronting, right? Yes, life is confronting when I wake up to it all. It feels like collectively we have already surpassed the “tipping point” and there is no return. The only place to go is within. Gourasana talks about this over and over in the talk we listened to. In Kalindi’s talks she talks about how bad the world is getting….if it so present for what is happening now.
Also I slipped down our stairs on my way to work last week, and really hurt my shoulder. I am taking care of it and it is so vulnerable to not be at my normal physical capacity. I pictured being in an emergency being fully able to physically care for myself and other people. And right now my purse and computer bag feel so heavy. I am looking at how to be selfless when I feel depleted. Giving from what feels like an empty cup. Turn to God and ask him to fill it. This is a really good inquiry for me right now.
Hi Linda,
It so good to talk with you the other day. I am glad you are getting better and sorry you fell. I was just reminded of how we need one another as we walk our journey home. Your love helped me and is still with me. Thank you for always posting on the site, I miss you when I don’t hear from you. I am sure others do too. I tall matters. xo
I am staying with my commitment to write and show up here. I don’t have many words this morning. Thursday night meditation with The Lady – all I can feel is Oh My God! It is God that is happening. A precious time of movement with The Lady I am so very grateful for – beyond words.
Saturday Emergency Prep was a sobering wake up. So thankful for everyone being united on the call. Kalindi pointing the way – we did our best to hear Her in the early 2000’s. I have shared “Breaking Boundaries” with some people. Some watched it and are moving with it’s message and other’s – not so interested – yet. I feel – Back to Basics with my bags, keeping them alive and current. And in my movement with God. Back to Basics.
Debriefing. I got some help today debriefing and organizing my iTunes and music and talks! Whew! What a process!
I have a question…does anyone have a good system that they use to organize their Road to Freedom Talks? So you can find them? I am good about printing out the text and putting them in a notebook…..but not so successful at organizing the talks in my iTunes! Any suggestions are welcome!!
I am finding music and talks I had forgotten all about. And I learned things about iTunes that is basic 101 but all new to me. I am always learning!!
Thank you for sharing about Breakthrough Meditation Day. I was so moved by the shares last Thursday night. I did not participate, as I choose to do some selfless giving and volunteer to work a friends wedding. It was an amazing experience and very much much in the Seminar Staffing energy. So something was clicked in me, in some way. I also realized that I really missed participating and in the future will not miss it.
I am totally all in for this debriefing week. I actually love debriefing. I feel Kalindi when I am sorting through….what ever it is, it doesn’t even really matter what….clothes, office, kitchen, storage room. A challenging place for me is my papers. They are in some order, but my day to day filing can improve so I can find things when I need them. Back to basics with the SAC System….
I also wanted to say how helpful the Gourasana quote is that Sara sent us. #76 on Observation. When I was focused on giving attention to someone, I could become aware of all of the chatter and commentary happening in my mind. Once I could really be aware of it, it was like I had the power to turn it off. I imagined a light switch with the ON & OFF. I flipped the switch in my mind. It sounds funny but it has really helped. Letting go is a decision. And I can make the decision to let go of my chatter and really give and care from a true place. It is a practice.
I have also used this when I don’t want to do something, resistance comes up or something. I flip the switch and let go. And when its a big one and the switch is more difficult, I have to get on the floor. Very Grateful for the GMP.
And so grateful for The Lady. For everything she is giving to us in the Center News. For the new Love’s Awakening Gateway. I am so happy for people to be able to be in that Gateway. Gourasana’s energy and movement. A very precious thing.
Since Breakthrough Meditation Day, I have been focused on the Peace and Solace prayer from The Lady. It helped me put words to how I was feeling at the end of the meditation – peace and solace. Empty and calm. Sunday and Monday, I visited my parents, remembering peace and solace as my essence. I read the prayer before I go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning. Last night I woke up feeling very disturbed from a dream. Even though I knew it was a dream, it took me some time to let it go. Peace and Solace was my mantra. Later I woke up in physical pain. Peace and Solace was my comfort. I am feeling the close presence of God as my very best friend in a way I never have before. I am able to peacefully, internally distance myself from the “chaos and weeping tears of humanity” without guilt. The prayer is available on the website in the May Center News.
Kat, I love this! During the breakthrough meditation, I faced so much pain about rejection and abandonment and at one point, I asked myself if I really want to suffer from this anymore and the answer was NO! So I made a decision to relax and let it out of my body and I felt so much love and freedom. I saw my parents yesterday and my mom started asking me what my plans are for the future (this happens everytime we meet up so I’ve been avoiding meeting with them). I said, “My plan is to stay in the present moment, not worry about the future and not feel bad about the past.” But then I did fill them in on things I’ve been doing and after walking them to their car, my mom hugged me and said she is proud of me. But I didn’t feel anything. I felt empty. I realized right then that I didn’t need her approval anymore. But I thanked her anyway. I realize that I have more distance from my emotions and pain and it feels different.
Selflessness has many aspects inside myself , I am finding . There is the part of me that feels the love of God expanding for myself and the one I am being selfless towards . I am aware of when I get “off” on being selfless , I can feel how that energy feeds my ego. I am praying for the awareness of this and not falling into discouragement because I am human and I make mistakes . I like practicing anonymous acts of giving such as packing up surplus veggies from my garden and leaving them out in our community area for my apartment friends . I put $5.00 worth of quarters in the washing machines in our apartment laundry room so somebody could be surprised by the gift. Anonymity helps me combat congratulating myself and feeding my ego. I am gaining awareness from this practice – and I thank God for the gifts . Humility seems to be the sister of selflessness. I don’t think I will stop this focus . I find myself more dedicated to listening without my own agenda , and surprised by how often I catch myself trying to steer the conversation. Breathing deeply and saying a prayer is helping me to let go and be with the person . I’ve got a long way to go!! Progress , not perfection 💕
I loved last night’s presentation and meditation! I hope it was recorded and will be posted because I could watch it over and over. I felt the energy all night and woke up this morning with so much gratitude and joy because I’m part of an organization that is both progressive and pure. I’m going to start telling people about the gateway meditation and I know Gourasana is finding the people who belong there. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard on this.
I wanted to acknowledge and thank Sara for the Kalindi quote in response to people feeling resentments. For me this Selflessness is a practice. I have to realize this within myself. Be honest with myself when I truly love and give selflessly. And to see the parts of my mind/ego that are even actually go against this level of care. At the end of the quote Kalindi sums it up: “there is a self-centered cork in the way”. When I see and feel the “cork” that is when I know I need to let go. The resentments are the cork in the flow. Learning how to uncork myself. Letting go is a decision. I decide I am going to not listen to my mind and just give. I hope some other people can share how this is going on this blog too.
Linda, I’m glad you brought this up because I’ve been trying to answer this question for myself. I think the key is to be sincere and clear. I had a situation this week and I could feel some resentment on my end because I didn’t feel the other person was listening. I realized that I wasn’t being as clear as I could be so restated what I meant to say. I was heard! And, then I thanked the person for respecting my time as it was a scheduling issue. People can sense if we are being sincere and if we do something out of obligation, it’s not sincere. This is causing me to have more awareness about giving, that’s for sure. And, being around children is eye-opening because they will tell you the truth. I actually had a three year old tell me that she didn’t think I was listening to her and guided my head to look at her. I told her thank you for being honest with me and now I’m going to listen to you completely. Kids will certainly uncork the self-centered cork!!
Thanks foe the cork reminder, Linda . I’ve got to get my cork out !
On my way to work today Kalindi’s talk “Come to God and Be Happy” came on. Perfect talk to start my day. I can forget to Be Happy. She reminded me that it takes 100% surrender and God provides. Yes He does.
There is talk these days on setting boundaries, personal space etc. From my experience in the realm of God there are no boundaries or personal space. I find that with selflessness – when I let go of how I want it, my time, my agenda and just give – miracles of connection happen. When I want to get out the door “on time” but stop and pay attention to the person – the is always always more connection. I walk away feeling so much more fulfilled than if I had my way and was on time (for the next material thing I needed to do).
The other reminder I got from Kalindi this morning is that we really are on family. And she said it is ok to really get to know each other and be there for each. That each of us has something to offer someone else. Sometimes I forget this since we don’t see each as much as we used to. And there is a palpable closeness that is ever present and I am so so grateful for this.
I have a couple of examples in practicing selflessness. I feel like I am finding more of a flow with it as I practice staying in my depth and connect from an authentic place. I used to have a “customer service” way of being. Kind of a fake nice – I learned it through being in customer service!! It feels so much better to me to just be real and kind than the false niceties that can happen sometimes.
I thought the woman at my dry cleaners didn’t charge me enough, so instead of settling, I went back and checked in with her. She was so happy I came back, she also thought it might have been little low. But we looked and it was right on the dot. We had a laugh that I am ironing my own clothes some now.
I went to a concert with a friend this week. The woman sitting on my right was singing along and had a beautiful voice. So when her husband went to get some food – I complemented her on her singing. That lead to finding out they had just moved her from Chicago to Arvada. And I learned more about her. When the concert was over and we said good-bye there was such a genuine warmth and friendship.
I started my own little practice of waving to people in my car. You know when another car passed and you raise your hand off the steering wheel just enough. I do in in my neighborhood where I live and where I work. And when I am out walking I wave to cars and other people. I love it. It doesn’t even really matter if they wave back. Some people don’t even look up, but that’s ok.
Something I’ve been contemplating is making sure I’m sincere when being selfless. A college friend was visiting this past weekend and there were some things that happened in the past that caused separation. I’ve forgiven her but find that I feel exhausted when I’m around her so I limited how much time I spent with her. When I was with her and her family, I just gave, listened and was in awe of how great a mom she is. It was cool to see her like that. Gourasana said that if someone is being obnoxious, to see that as the illusion. Try to see their true self. I just wondered if anyone has thoughts about this. Being selfless with boundaries.
Hi CJ – Two things came to mind when you asked about being selfless with boundaries. For me, if I can’t be in a place where I can be fully present with someone, then I set some boundaries with them. I offer to call them back, or as you say, only spend time with people when it feels right. And take the time to get in there with myself and ask “What is it that is bothering me?” It usually ends up being something about me. For me, selflessness takes me deeper when it is family and friends. Strangers in the grocery store is one thing, and people at work or home are another!
The other thought I had was about your prayer – Show me Lord, Where do you need me? Maybe He needs you with your friend – maybe to remind her what a great mom she is or maybe have a deeper conversation with her about how you felt in the past? I really don’t know.
I’m sorry I missed your call today. Would love to talk to you more about this. And maybe other people have another point of view. We just need to love people where they are at. Us included. Hope this helps.
Thank you Linda and Jet for reminding me to take the time to be present with others. I’ve been listening to the GMP series again and specifically the one from The Lady about prayer. My prayer is Show me, Lord. Where do you need me?
This blog is so rich in inspiration, help and encouragement. Thank you for the suggestions and quotes, Sara and Tamara. Yesterday, I saw a young man carrying groceries in both hands walk into my apartment building. I was headed to the elevator and he looked lost. He was from DoorDash and making a delivery. Our building is a little confusing so I helped him find the apartment he was headed to. Afterwards, I reflected on how sometimes I am on for helping folks and sometimes I am just not. I am tired, I am busy…. I also felt the “good girl” energy which feeds my ego. But yesterday was different and I think it is due to our focus. I felt the joy of connecting to this young man who is just trying to do his job. And I felt my appreciation for these workers who help my aging and sometimes disabled apartment neighbors get their groceries. It took me less than 10 minutes to help him. I felt the joy of “pleasing the Lord”. Not me, Lord, only you. Thank you for this focus and this BLOG!! Thank you to all my FW sisters and brothers. Doing this together is really a great gift for me.
Thank you for Sara and Tamara for the email encouragement and the quotes. I found that my “judgments, concepts and beliefs” get in the way of the self-less giving. I realized that is it “The” selfless giving, as opposed to “My” selfless giving. My ego is not the one giving.
My successes are that I do see the opportunities to let go and give. When I do, there is always expanded connection and care. Generally I am up for it, it is in my awareness, my intention.
Where I have needed to let go is when I notice, as I am listening, I loose interest in what the person is saying. Or they go on and on and on. I check out. So when this happens, I bring myself back and kind of shake myself back awake internally. I remember my care for the person and that what they are telling me is important to them. And sometimes I just get “full”. When I get full, I find a way to take a break from the conversation and come back to it later. The times I can stay with her – there really is a shift in her.
I have been on the other side of the coin, for example and sharing something. I can tell when the other person is not really listening. So I know people can feel any disinterest or distraction on my part at some level. And they can also feel the sincere care and attention when I am totally present and willing.
This week I met up with an old dear friend from out of town and her sister, who were visiting. I planned and followed through to see them two nights. (I tend to be a home body) One night I drove all the way up to Nederland to visit where they were staying. Another night we went out in Boulder, I drove them around. Dinner, the farmers market, live music. I totally flowed with them and listened – I was present. We reconnected in such a simple deep ways. It renewed a thirty year old friendship. I felt sad to say good-bye to them. I sat in my car after i dropped them off and had a little cry. There was so much love. Thank You Gourasana, I will keep practicing with everyone.
Today I took my mom to see the Van Gogh exhibit but initially I wanted to go alone. The look in her eyes was priceless…so much joy and excitement! I cried driving home and heard the song “I
want More” by Kaleo. Yes, I want more!!
I love that Linda! I’m working with young kids today and am trying to be selfless and help the teachers out. They are so burnt out.
I had an example of connecting when I didn’t want to yesterday. I was walking the dog at work on our street and an unmarked delivery truck slowly pulled up along beside me. I kept my back to him and thought – Oh No. I turned around and it was a very friendly older man looking for a person/house number on that street. I shrugged and said I didn’t know and he drove on. I thought about it for a bit. And up the way he parked and was out of his truck. I stopped to help him. I looked at the house numbers and tried to figure it out with him. I even called my boss (which I never do in these circumstances) to see if she knew the person. I pointed him back the other way. On the return loop of my walk, he was outside of a house. And we laughed that he found it. He was so grateful for the neighborly help. I say him again later and he stopped to thank me again and we had a good laugh. I have been more open on my walks now. Today I stopped to talk to a man and his golden retriever, we always wave and are friendly but I have not stopped to say hello and talk. Slowing down and making time for connection is so fulfilling all around.
Are you up for a challenge today or tomorrow?
Practice selflessness in an instance where you really don’t want to.
How did it go? What happened for you? We’d love to hear.
Love,
Sara and Tamara
I wanted to recap my week here. Practicing Selflessness has been in the forefront of my focus this week. Now that the COVID restrictions are relaxing a bit, people are more open to getting together in person. I reached out and made plans with a couple of different people to meet for dinner, and to hang out outside, and a coffee date. This took some planning and then letting go of how it all came to happen. And the time spent connecting with friends was wonderful!. There was actually a feeling of care and love that Gourasana talks about. I am used to spending time by myself and when I do make plans have little resistance to it when the time comes to “show up”. But it has been so nice to connect in person. I am continuing to keep opening and meeting up with friends.
I went to Aliza’s birthday party and it was so great to see so many “Miracle of Love People” (as Gourasana calls us) in one place. It was little over whelming at first but I was able to focus and connect in a Real way with different people. The care there was so palpable.
There have been a couple of occasions during the week, where I caught myself loosing interest in what someone was saying and felt they were going on and on. I felt my inward reaction and could bring myself back to being polite. I could feel the compassion for the person with what they were saying. It takes awareness on my part throughout my day. Am I being real?
I have not, in a formal way, evaluated myself on a daily basis or make specific goals, as the program outlines. I do have a sincere prayer each night to have opportunities to give more selflessly, be present and open with everyone.
I am listening to the Gourasana talk once a week during this time. What stood out today was that this practice is actually a tool to beat the illusion. And there is a ripple effect from this goes out beyond my own interactions.
I just wanted to say that I did fulfill my committment to take my neighbor out to dinner (I told my horseshoe on Breakthrough Day) and it was heartbreaking as well as joyful. She is elderly and has so many regrets, fears and is lonely. I know that I didn’t want to face being with her because I didn’t want to face those things inside myself but I did it because that is selfless giving. The next day I felt so much longing and decided just to sob with Gourasana and I had the realization that selfless giving is my ticket Home. So I’m going to keep doing it. Thank you for this subject, It is bringing me more humility.
Hi CJ, That is so wonderful that you took your neighbor out for dinner and gave to her in that way. So many people are really alone in the world. I am grateful for this focus too, I think upon waking , How can I please you today My Lord?
Love, Kathryn
So much has happened on every level this week – in ways I would never have imagined. Very early Monday morning one of the little dogs at work, Alli, died in the ICU at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital. I spent more time with these two dogs, over these 13 years, than any other human being. Heart ripping and gut wrenching loss. At 4am I met the family at the hospital and we were able to hold her little body and cry together. I am so thankful for all of the tools I have learned here. I could sit and cry and listen to each of them share their grief. And then we put ourselves back together. This week I consciously tried not put myself back together.
This loss for me expanded way beyond the loss of this little dog – it opened something in me to feel the heartbreak of people everywhere – in my body – feel the pain of people: who lost loved ones to Covid, war, gang violence (this sounds so crazy for me to write) but this is where my mediations carried me.
I also had to face my responsibility for this dog’s sickness, it crept up on us, we didn’t put the signs together. The hospital was crazy busy, we had to wait for hours in the parking lot….she died from the toxicity of the arthritis medication we were giving her.
How this relates to being in the month focused on Selflessness. Before, I associated Selflessness with also “doing” and “giving” to people. This week I could barely function and could not “do” beyond the basics. I could only “be” and was more open with people. Tear up with the UPS man, about Alli’s death and listen to him talk about his dogs. There was a big healing with my boss to sit and share with her in a heartfelt conversation. There are so many interactions and experiences all during the week that were deeper, like in slow motion.
And somehow, as I shared on the call – at some points I needed to be the one to have someone just listen and be there for me. Personally realizing the power of being open to receive and just how tender and precious that really is.
The Dishwasher. Unloading the dishwasher, I realized that I had a concept that selflessness and giving are hard and unpleasant. I don’t mind unloading the dishwasher. It is actually easy and pleasant for me. I was aware that I was in a consciousness of giving. But I (ego/mind) wondered if it didn’t count or I didn’t get points (ego keeping score) for it because it was not hard and unpleasant. I see now this is an example of the illusion trying to pull me out of the moment into the darkness. I am noticing more and more how the illusion trys to take my true qualities and use them for its purposes, which usually involves monkey mind and self-doubt.
P.S. I did apologize to my sister.
Selflessness:
Part 1, Sunday. I was not on the FW call Saturday, but I watched the video recording on Sunday. I moved with the contemplation questions. What is the transformational challenge for me? What is my opportunity?
I saw that sometime the challenge and the opportunity are related or even the same thing. The challenge may be in having a plan or a schedule and wanting it my way. That would be NOT open to God’s timing or God’s information. The opportunity (and the challenge) is moment-to-moment awareness.
Yes, I am on for this. This is a request from God. I want to bring more love of God to my family. This is related to my Humility focus for the year (lifetime).
My focus this week is selflessness related to an upcoming family visit. I wrote: if self-absorption comes up, be aware, let it go. If martyr comes up, let it go. (On Wednesday morning I was falling into the martyr abyss. By re-reading my notes, I snapped out of it.)
Part 2, Monday. I meditated in the morning on the topic of selflessness and the family visit. In thinking, I came up with a list of subjects and tasks. This helped me feel calmer, more trusting, and less overwhelmed. I love the simplicity of what Gourasana says, to find specific and deliberate acts to increase Love.
Part 3, Tuesday. Focus: selflessness related to family visit. Specific act: grocery shopping. Prayer: Lord, please help me stay in the light so that I may be filled with selfless giving to our family. I was in the light most of the day. Then I hit the wall of righteousness and judgmentalness. Maybe my defenses were down because I was tired. If that is true, I need to learn to keep my mouth shut and not speak. (It was not success, but it was learning. It was a missed opportunity to catch moment-to-moment awareness.)
Part 4, Wednesday. Listen to people. I messed up with my sister. It was an opportunity to just listen and be with her where she was. Instead, I let my illusory judgments and righteousness speak. (I was not practicing moment-to-moment awareness.) I felt bad afterwards and now I need to find a way to apologize.
These calls are the highlight of my month. I feel like we are all in a giant horseshoe together. It was really beautiful to hear the shares, vulnerable, sincere and strong. I am going to keep going with practicing acts of selflessness. My first step is to pay attention to “what I am holding onto” which prevents me from being present, giving and humble. My work is to do whatever it takes to get back in the present, open hearted towards myself and towards another. I am also going to look for opportunities to really listen, even when I am busy-tired-angry, fill in the blanks. This is a very rich focus and I am happy we are all doing this together.
What a wonderful Freedom Walk Path Call – thank you everyone for giving selflessly.
Wow is all that I feel I can say! To be with The Lady on Wednesday night with the public and then with Kalindi last night with Her Truth and Joy!!! I feel so incredibly blessed that we have 2 spiritual masters to take We of the We HOME!!!!
I woke up this morning with the lyrics, “Save me, I’m yours.” I have made it my prayer for the day. Before I got out of bed, I heard a whisper to go sit outside and listen to the birds. Later, as I was in the kitchen making breakfast, I listened to “Three Little Birds” over and over. Only then did I connect the dots. Birds. Kalindi. I felt her communicating with me. And me connecting with her.
I was also thinking of you Maureen. It makes me smile with JOY to think of you on your road trip. I have some travelling songs I will send to you.
Jumping in to join in the Day of Joy Blogs!! So fun to have some activity and connection here. Will keep singing Kalindi songs today and feel Her love. Have a God Filled Day!!
Maureen- I am thrilled to hear about your adventures – and this day of Kalindi and JOY has been great for me so far, too. I printed out the flyer we got this morning and shared it with Matt. I made a playlist w many copies of Three Little Birds on Spotify so it would repeat . After this, the app went into other Reggae songs and I was in pure joy 🤩. I’m taking myself out for breakfast and imagining Kalindi is with me . As she is always . Last nights Public Meditation was very deep and glorious . Sharing The Lady leading a meditation with these new people gave me such joy- to imagine how she is reaching them. I feel immense gratitude , joy and a lively energy today . Let’s keep going all together !!!!
Day 2 – Day of Joy! Thank you Kalindi for this day!!! I’m exhausted…and it has propelled me into liveliness for the day! I read #17 from Breaking the Cycle, got dressed, wearing my favorite pink crystal necklace from Kalindi Mart and driving (with 3 Little Birds playing) to Lincoln to go to a museum and have a nice lunch before I set down for the night somewhere in Iowa. I promise I won’t give you a daily trip experience – only noteworthy awareness, observations…I love you all.
Oh, and I put Magic Fairy Dust on, which I use on Let Go day. It’s going to be a magical and joyful day :). I know you’re all with me.
My spiritual focus this year is Calm, and I was able to practice it this morning! Today is Day 1 of my Summer of Exploration. It was to start with U-Haul installing a hitch to my car so that I could bring my bicycle on my trip. Not so. Apparently the call center didn’t set a realistic expectation because with COVID parts are taking a month (I just placed the order on Saturday). The manager was visibly distressed, and I just loved on her and told her how much I appreciated her for dealing with the world as it is. In another time I would have been upset and been unpleasant with her and the situation. I am disappointed, but I know it will open something else up for me. Like I get to hit the road a little earlier – maybe I will make it to Lincoln, NE today after all!! Traveling with love and joy in my heart…on my way to spend the weekend with Linn Stevens :).
Hi Maureen, I hope you have reached Lincoln, NE . I wish you an extra love filled, calm trip. That is so kind how you were at the Uhaul store, I think that is an example of what more calm brings, a pause to choose to be loving. Enjoy your love tour and then come back to Denver. xo PS. Hi Linn Stevens.. that is so cool you two together!
I was thinking about/praying for Jim Leonard. When I opened the email I was prepared to send a card – and it was his final good-bye to us. I am holding him and his family in my heart. I was motivated this morning to call my aunt, who is in hospice, just to say I love you. I could feel that she felt it.
I missed the past two live Freedom Walk Meditations for various reasons, I can feel the difference. I missed seeing everyone on the Zoom. I meditated last night along with one of the recordings. I am faced daily with being a 59er. Is what I am doing bringing me closer to or farther away from my connection with God? It is sometimes so subtle. Listening to the whispers, reaching out when I want to have solitude.
Anyway – I wanted to check in here so keep connected in some way. Much Love!!
I have been dipping my toe back into getting together with people. I had not realized how much I had adjusted to and actually loved being along during this year with the pandemic. I had an over load last weekend. I helped Maureen with her garage sale, it was so great to see everyone. We were all so happy to see and hug each other. Afterwards, I had to go home and take a nap. And then Sunday I went to an outdoor wedding. It was a stretch to get dressed up and get myself there and be present with everyone. I had coffee with Kathryn and Amanda – it was so sweet and natural to sit and talk and felt to “weird” at the same time. I am realizing that i need to take it really slow as I am out and about and beginning to get together with people. I do look forward to getting together with friends this summer. Hoping to have some outdoor barbecues, hikes, etc. I definitely need to listen within to not overdo. And also to still keep up certain precautions…as I am not fooling myself the we are out of the woods with this virus. I thought I would share this here, in case anyone else has this experience. And really look forward to getting together with Denver friends soon!!!

Prayer is so powerful. Thank you for sharing all of the prayers. I love to pray then be on the look out all day for how my prayer is answered. My focus is Compatience.
Compassionate Patience.
Love xo, Kathryn
Thank you for sharing the prayers. They have really helped me to remember what my focus is. Focus, Discipline. Last time I posted I said wanted to listen to Final Journey at night and I bought the talk but haven’t listened to it yet. I will tonight. I am also going to listen to the GMP talks again.
CJ, I have been listening to Final Journey in the last week. I listen in all sorts of ways: before sleep, in the middle of the night, in the morning when I wake up, while I am exercising, while I am doing housework. Even though I have listened to it many times over the years, I am frequently amazed that I hear something that I feel like I have never heard before. The first time I listened to it, years ago, I was triggered, angry and resistant. I let go of all that. How can I support you in your desire to listen to the message from Gourasana? Let me know. I love you. – Kat
Thank you Kat! May I text you when I listened to it? I had issues downloading it last night but I’m not going to give up! I’m wearing my “Keep on Truckin” tshirt today (I gave one to The Lady for her birthday, isn’t that far out?). I’m going to wear my Beautiful Gem earrings and stay connected with Gourasana. I signed up for meditation tonight. YES, YES, YES!!!!
Saturday’s call was really deep for me and helpful. I pondered the questions and came up with a simple focus, more meditation. I allow myself to succumb to discouragement about Thursday nights meditation. I want to attend the whole 3 hours and judge myself harshly if I can’t stay awake for it all. I am seeing more and more that judging myself is a nasty habit and it is really an excuse to give up. I realized that discouragement has many faces for me and I am totally at cause if I let myself be stopped by it. I have a choice.
I have a buddy who is willing to support me in my goal to attend Thursdays (as much and as long as I can) and as Juan reminded us, stumbles are part of transformation. “What matters to God is your endeavor” I made a sign of that. I can attend meditation and if I need to sleep, I can keep my earbuds in and fall asleep listening to the meditation. I can schedule time during the week to listen to the recording of Thursday night, I can add more meditation to my morning time and day. I can be a 59er and look for opportunities to do my work, EOL document tasks, debriefing and praying.
I wear a different scarf daily to remind me to stay in the light. In a video, I am sorry I don’t remember which one, but Kalindi suggested we get up every day and put on a different cap and say, “I will stay in the light, today.” A statement to the illusion and my illusory being that God has me today and I ain’t gonna give in or up.
Prayer has changed for me these last weeks, I pray in the bathtub, I pray in my car when I get in before I start the motor, I pray before sleep regularly, I pray while I am cooking dinner. My mind really doesn’t get it and I am so OK with that. My mind is not my friend, most of the time. Reciting out loud, “What matters to God is your endeavor.” really helps me to shut up the noise of my mind around discouragement. Did David get discouraged? Wow. Maybe he did but he certainly never gave up and his surrender and path brought us all here, with The Lady, with Kalindi and Gourasana, with each other, with our souls together. “A fellowship of souls” as Juan said- we are connected beyond time and space.
I cannot believe how helpful it is for me to sit here and blog and just feel what is happening for me and for all of us. Thank you for this space to share and connect and help each other. Thank you!!
Saturday was such an amazing time together on so many levels. I was moved by the Prayer from Brother Klaus that Juan read. I am putting it on my alter and I am going to read it along with my prayers for Juan.. I ended up googling Brother Klaus and read more about him. There is also a movie I want to watch at some point. This is in line with my interested in learning more about St. Francis.
In case you would also like to have it, here is the prayer:
My Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you.
My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you.
My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you.
As an update: I still have not gotten my passport and never did go to Mexico for vacation.. I stayed at home. My time was spent at home with two kittens that were a delight and gave me a focus to take care of them. It was a God filled time of being with myself. Meditating, debriefing and cleaning, resting. Just being. I missed being with my house and there was something so special about my time at home.
Last Thursday, after meditation with Ginny, I decided to listen to Final Journey at night for a period of time. I have done this in the past at different times. I am playing it on repeat all through the night. I remember The Lady, at some point, suggested to listen to it during the day so you could hear the words Gourasana is speaking while you are awake. Those of us who staffed the Intensive with The Lady in San Diego, remember she played it in the Intensive. There was NO going in or out of the room while this way playing. I did everything I could be get into the room for that part. The recording was not available for sale. The only time you could hear it was in the Intensive Room. I feel to thankful to have it to listen to every night.
Thank you, Linda, for the prayer from Brother Klaus. It’s simplicity and power is undeniable to me. And sharing about your listening to Final Journey and how at one time, we couldn’t listen to it without being in the Intensive staffing. Wow. We have so much to be grateful for now on our Freedom Walk Path.
Dear Linda,
Thank you for that prayer from Brother Klaus. I happened upon this prayer from St. Ignatius of Loyola just now and I thought of you (and Juan).
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will.
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.
Thank you Kat! I copied this prayer to print out. Beautiful. I have not heard of St Ignatius of Loyola – will have to look him up…..I find the paths of these saints so interesting….
Dear Peggy,
I want to send you a quote. But I don’t have your email address. Mine is: kcoleman8553@gmail.com. Please send me an email with your email address. Love, Kat
I didn’t get the job that I thought was my dream job but what I’ve realized is that there is no such thing and that I need to focus on getting a job that will support me materially and my spiritual movement as well, not a job that will consume me. Yesterday I had an unexpected thing I had to deal with and was feeling so much frustration. I kept talking to Gourasana about it and he gave me each step to take and then kept saying to go to meditation last night. I had a bunch of excuses but decided to sign up and am I glad I did! It was all about the longing and I felt Kalindi with me as I cried. I woke up this morning with a different perspective and feeling so much gratitude. This is a quote that was shared at the Expand Your Awareness evening last Monday and this is what I’m striving for: Fulfillment of body, mind, heart and spirit brings you wholeness and completion within. You no longer search for the external world to bring you your heart’s desire, as you come to find it within from God, the source of your true pleasure and happiness. Finding wholeness within, to find your true expression of love and beauty within yourself in God, allows an abundance of love and truth to be shared with the world. What greater joy could you have than to share the love of God with others, to become a vessel of God’s love, truth, and beauty for the thirst of mankind? How glorious! Kalindi from Ultimate Freedom: Union with God, page 52
P.S. I bought a cheerleader outfit and am going to wear it tonight with my date with God!
Christine, I am feeling you!! What a good job of turning within and shifting your response to a challenging situation and how quickly you were able to shift and not suffer unnecessarily in the way we too often can. I too have recently felt a big shift from within by praying deeply to be in God’s Flow and to burn out anything that gets in my way. I have the experience of a Spring within, a little ‘reborn’ into the desire and actual joy and freedom that comes from surrendering my way (over and over again). Thanks for being an inspiration! By the way I have been keeping my eye out for a job for you (as we discussed) but nothing yet. Perhaps this is a time of going through the needle (which feels so challenging) in order to get into a whole new era, perspective, and world of possibility. I love you dear lady.
I woke up this morning really sad and “missing my mother”. Mother’s Day felt heavy. I couldn’t understand why. I was 18 when my mother died in a car accident. That was 44 years ago. I have “dealt” with this and “healed” this in many workshops and seminars. But today there was a depth of reverence for The Mother. And everything that is happening in the world. I also don’t know where I would be without the GMP. To be able to put on some music and sit and feel and pray and move into my longing is such a gift. And for all of the mothers and all of us have mothers – I wish you an opening in your heart and soul so that the people in this world can feel your powerful LOVE. It really needs it. (PS My passport never did arrive – it still has not come. So I had a full God Consumed Staycation – it was exactly what I needed) Love –
In a 30-minute meditation just now, I had a fleeting but real experience of the soul, spirit, eternal part of myself that is joined with the material body, in the material world. I felt acceptance, gratitude, faith and “that’s just how it is.”
Praise to God for the GMP!
I was also missing being with you all in our materials bodies at the material Center.
Hi Kat! I miss you too! Thank you for sharing about your meditation – I don’t know why it always amazes me that so much can happen in just 30 minutes (or a 10 minute let go). Sometimes it doesn’t take that long AND there are the times where long meditations on the floor are the only way. Much Love to you – Linda
My breakthrough is still happening as I saw how I was letting my fear of rejection and being hurt keep me small and hide. I had the interview of a lifetime today and could see myself go into overwhelm so I listened to a few let go songs, put on my makeup, calmed and talked to Gourasana. It went so well and I feel like the panel saw the authentic me. I am trusting the outcome and had the realization that if I have the energy of hiding, my presence will be weak. I want more than anything to connect with people.
CJ so nice for you to feel your authentic self at the interview!!! Keep us posted on the job and everything else!! Lots of Love!
CJ, this is so inspiring and makes me want to hug you tightly!! Congratulations on this “yet another” breakthrough. I can feel how much you want to connect with people and what a huge, vibrant love you give in this world. Keep it up, sister!! You inspire me so much.
Hello sisters and brothers on Freedom Walk. BMD goes on for me. I found some space in that day, space between me and my human struggles and my connection with God. I felt like I could look compassionately upon myself (my friend taught me the term “Compassionate Observer”) with more tender love and understanding. Judgments get me at times, well, actually it is more than at times. I have really seen how many times a day I judge myself, others, God… It really is staggering. I am praying for more awareness and I thank God when He shows me my judgments. Thank you, Lord, for more awareness. The space I found in BMD has maintained for me and I feel ready to go into this Debrief week with this. Space for thinking, space for God, space for letting go of material things, space for creating beauty and organization in my surroundings. Freer and Freer everyday, right, you guys and gals?? Much love to all of you.
Jet – Really good to hear how you are doing and integrating the Breakthroughs you found. Hope your Debriefing Week also carries you into more of God – Love to You Girl!
My spiritual focus for the year – Depth – St. Francis Prayer. I asked for and generously received a St Francis statue for my birthday, I had a vision of an area in our backyard to create a little garden around it. Over the weekend I put it outside and all of these inspiring ideas came with it. It brought so much joy to be out in the yard (it was sunny and warm!!)
To preface the next part:: my whole house is in Mexico. I was supposed to go, but am waiting for my passport. I have the time off from work….I really really wanted to be at the beach with them. So I have been faced…..with myself. Yesterday morning I felt very lost, I turned on the TV to watch the news….and in scrolling the channels, I discovered a movie playing: St Francis of Assisi. It was just starting!! I felt God holding me in this opportunity. I found such depth in sitting in front of the tv in the wee hours of the morning learning about this saint. It is one of the old time movies. This feeling reminded me of the 30 Day programs we used to do in the past, where part of the program was to watch these old movies about Christ, Bernadette and other mystics and saints. When it was over I didn’t want it to end. So I found another movie called God’s Fool. The first part is about St Francis and the second is about a young black man and his search for himself/God in parallel to the story of St. Francis. So very moving for me. Kalindi specifically told us that we are not a mission of renunciates – we will have what we need, no more and no less.
I have been meditating a lot. I am so grateful for the replays of the Freedom Walk meditations. I have been cleaning and debriefing – this is how I process and move. Debrief week is next week, but I got a jump start. Having what I need, no more and not less. God Consciousness in every drawer and bin.
I will go join my house when my passport arrives. And in the meantime and I am in my own little seminar here. Thank you for this space to share.
Opps! Debriefing is THIS week….so it seems I am right on time with it all. Much Love!
Linda, I hope your passport comes very soon. Thank you for reminding me about St. Francis. Watching these movies is such fuel for our souls. I love you very much:)
Aliza, Thank you for starting the discussion. I want to put words to what happened so I know something happened because the mind…well, you know…I had a counseling session with Daniel the Tuesday before Breakthrough and it was perfect because he gave me such a simple direction of talking to Gourasana when the illusion tries to tell me negative things about myself. It’s really working! I was taking my recycling bin out and said, “Gourasana, can you believe what the illusion is telling me? I know it’s not true, etc.” That direction caused me to see things differently on Saturday. I saw how I was making things more complicated and dramatic than I needed to and all of a sudden, I heard a whisper, “You might feel less lonely if you aren’t dramatic.” and I decided to believe it even though I didn’t have proof yet. I still don’t have proof yet but I’m trusting. I feel like I lost a whole bunch of self-doubt and anxiety and it feels as light as a feather. I’m also not so worried about what other people think of me. I think I lost a chunk of feeling like I need approval. Thank you everyone, thank you leaders, Maria, I loved the songs and feeling everyone. Love, CJ
How glorious was Saturday? “I know I am changed.” My BMD consisted of just having to have it out with Gourasana about how bad it is here and how I could not reconcile that it is going to get as Kalindi said “darker and darker and darker and darker.”
Sara suggested to have it out with God, from my connection to God, and that made all the difference. Trying to be angry at God outside of God just brought more angst.
I’m on the other side of something that I thought at one time to be “impossible.” I’m feeling a true breakthrough from the Breakthrough Meditation.
I feel reconciled at a deeper level about the suffering and the darkness that is here and I feel more resolved to go Home because there is nothing but suffering here.
During my meditation, God showed me how tight He is holding me in all of the suffering and darkness and I felt comforted in knowing that I don’t have to do a thing about any of it except to bring love and joy.
I feel even more freed up to just do what God wants me to do and not to fret about the things I cannot change.
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Love,
Aliza
Dear Aliza – I am so so happy to read this and feel the movement you shared at Breakthrough Day!! I know how heavy your heart has been. You have so much love to give!! Hallelujah!!
Yes! The Serenity Prayer is a living prayer. I love you – Linda
This might seem like an odd thing, but does anyone have a photo of Sophie they could share. I found myself singing to her this morning and wished I could see her face – I can picture her in my mind, but mostly feel her. Especially in meditation this morning. Last night, I was so taken aback by the news and somewhat surprised at myself as to the grief I felt.
Sudden death – I see and feel it with the shootings in Boulder, Indianapolis, the 13 year old boy in Chicago. I can barely watch the news. This morning I felt so grateful for Kalindi and her push and encouragement to all of us over and over and over. How to live with an open broken heart and be equipoised. She spoke it all. From last night’s Rememberance, I was inspired to take on listening and moving with Kalindi talks. I listened to a talk in the car today. She talked about opening to God’s energy and screaming. Scream!! She even screamed the words “Scream” over and over. I haven’t been screaming as she is directing. Good thing Breakthrough Day is tomorrow.
Thank you Grace for the beautiful photo of Sophie. Love, Linda
This morning I wanted to listen to the full meditation that Ginny played of The Lady; the one that Ronna referred us to. The meditations of The Lady from February have been removed. This is understandable. And I was wondering if someone could make this one available for a certain time period so we could listen to it? Thank you so much for everything that unfolded and happened on the call on Saturday. I feel like a new perspective was birthed, at least for me. In each moment, with each person, I can show up and be present in the Truth, and connect or I can avoid and hide in old patterns. I can’t really go back to the old, its gone and I have to keep stepping forward in the unknown with Trust and Faith. Risk Intimacy. Surrender in the moment. Anyway, I am still digesting everything and am so very appreciative of everything.
Hi Linda,
I reposted the February meditation from Ginny. I will talk to Sara and Tamara this week about how long we will leave it up but for now it is back up.
Love,
Ann Marie
Thank You very much Ann Marie – especially on today- a Sunday –
Happy Easter!
Love,
Linda
My focus this year is Calm. I am applying it to every aspect of my life, and it feels like it is working.
Like someone shared today “Please God”; when I find myself in overwhelm, or my mind is getting away from me, or someone says something that triggers me, I can practice calm, being present, and know that all things are possible with God.
I like that it is not complicated and it works!

On our FW Call today, I remembered a personal CTG story. Over 16 years ago, I met someone at a social gathering. She was joyfully talking about the Seminar and how she got to spend several days with God. That was a complete mind tweak. My ego thought she was a kook. My soul said, “I want that.” A few months later, I registered for my first Seminar. This is an example of a person speaking and being her true self. And an example of how we never know what we will say that might reach another person’s heart and soul.
Hi Kat and everyone, I love your example for how simple our speaking can be – simple truth. For me, it was a friend (I thank Charlotte from Munich!) who gave me a Seminar brochure and said “Let’s go to San Diego! X said we should do it.” I saw the Light Beings on the brochure, and 4 words struck my soul: “…the pain of separation….” I knew I had to go do the Seminar. My ego said, “you already meditate, why travel across the world?” Thank God I didn’t listen but trusted what struck my soul.
Thank you all for a spectacular call today!
My focus this year is focusing on one thing at a time and discipline. My phone is a big distraction so I’m limiting how much time I spend on it and simplifying my life because really all that matters to me is being with God. I have 5 new rules to live by to support me in my desire and endeavors:
1. Never Give Up
2. Trust The Lord
3. Always have a positive outlook.
4. Rest, receive and say yes.
5. Give it away.
I listened to the recording about David Swanson and it reminded me of what he did to help us to go Home. He completely surrendered. What am I willing to give up? I’m looking forward to being with Freedom Walk on Saturday.
I promised myself I would blog here….and then I had a calamity with my passwords for the website. Yikes, took a while to figure it all out. If anyone else has trouble, Bruce was a big help.
As far as my focus, depth, the shooting in Boulder has driven me into the depth of my broken heart. Kalindi’s voice in my head – Do Nothing – do not put the pieces of your heart back together again. I had an errand in Boulder yesterday and by chance I drove by the police station where Eric Tally’s patrol car was parked, covered in flowers. I had to pull over for a minute.
When I am in my depth, I can feel how precious life is. I don’t know day to day what will happen. Live each day like it could be my last. And the illusion does come in and I forget…..I have to keep remembering and stay connected within. It is a daily practice.
LInda, Thank you for sharing to intimately and for your continued blogging here. This is very helpful to read. Eric Talleys service was today and I am expect many are feeling the loss of him. Thank you for saying that part about how Kalindi would say, “Do nothing- do not put the pieces of your heart back together again.” Hearts broken, light can get into these cracks, and we keep practicing, daily, to go within and fall into Him. With Him. I keep repeating the words, “My salvation lies in Your love.”. This is a daily practice, a minute by minute practice. I am deeply grateful we all have each other and are walking this FW together. Thank you, my friend.
I watched the funeral today for Eric Tally. I am familiar with the Flatirons Church Community Church where it was held. They have the stream on their website. I was very impressed with the catholic priest and what he said. Surrender. Giving one’s life for something greater. And it is not for personal gain, but putting other people first.
He answered the question people so often ask, Why God? Why did this terrible thing happen. Terrible things happen to good people. .He talked about how God can take something horrific and use it for something good. Eric Tally’s death – no more people were killed after he rushed in there.. He referenced Jesus. Since Easter is this weekend, it seemed so fitting. I thought of David Swanson and his suffering and surrender – he did it for us. And we just honored him in our meditation last week.
Jet – I put on the song Orange Sky by Alexi Murdoch I’ll send it to you and you can sing your prayer. I’ll sing it with you. Here are the words…..Love
Well, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said, brother, you know, you know
It’s a long road we’ve been walking on
Yes it is, yes it is, you know
Brother it is
Such a long road we’ve been walking on
(Oh brother, oh brother)
And I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said, here is what I know now, sister
Here is what I know now, goes like this
In your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
In your love, in your love
Oh, but you know I am so weary
And you know, my heart
My heart’s been broken now
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong, too strong to carry on
But when I am alone
When I’ve thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I’ve lost all care for the things I own
That’s when I miss you
That’s when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home now
Here is what I know now, brother
Here is what I know now, sister, goes like this
In your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
In your love, in your love
Your love, now
Well, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
Hello brothers and sisters, I read Kathryn’s post and Linda’s and it was just what I needed today. Thank you, Ladies, for your deep and insightful shares. I came to the blog for solace and I found some today.
Yesterday, 10 innocent people lost their lives in Boulder. I have been crying, praying for them and for the shooter and all of their families.. The first police officer on the scene was killed. He had seven children and a wife, he was 51 yrs old. I feel such sadness, I feel shock, I feel fear. We have mission friends who live in Boulder and thank God, they weren’t part of this tragedy.
Kathryn wrote about hate and dehumanizing and shame. Linda wrote about her fall and her being reminded of “no time to waste”. It helps to read these truths.
None of us know yet what propelled this man to take his rifle to the store and shoot at the customers. I am listening to my memory of the Lady asking us to take a spiritual perspective. I will keep trying to do that. I have put on some church music and lit a candle, and will do the GMP next. How to live in this world with an open, broken heart? That is what I am asking God for help with today. I love all of you very much.
Here is my update for the week. After surviving the tons of snow over the weekend – I was out walking the dogs on Monday. The sun was out and I totally slipped on some black ice, fell flat on my back and hit my head. (I am totally fine now). Wow, what a wake up. I have learned to really take good care when things like this happen. On Monday night as I was falling asleep I was at bit worried that maybe I would not wake up. I thought about it for a while. For this I felt totally at peace actually. My will, advanced directive, paperwork, etc are all in order. Nothing felt really left unsaid. I slept in prayer and I did wake up. I went to see Janet for some cranial work. I am totally fine. This again points to anything can happen at any time in the blink of an eye. In meeting with one of my End of Life buddies, Claudia I had to confront the fact that I am not so prepared: if I life a long time!? Yikes. I have my work to do here. I have resistance about it all. I need to finish streaming the End of Life calls. I find lots of other things “to do” instead of scheduling time – but I promised myself I would do it. Sooner than later.
An aspect that came up for me this week, connected to the St Francia prayer, were the hate crimes in Atlanta. In my bones I don’t “hate” Asians. And I have laughed at the satires about them, the skits about the Nail girls and other stereotypes. There is an article in Medium.com titled “Hate is a Virus”. So from the prayer “Where there is HATE, let me bring LOVE. I am looking at all the places I didn’t think I had hate, and how it does show up. Thank you for letting me share this here. Love, Linda
Linda, That is so scary indeed, and I am so very thankful you are ok. Be extra gentle with yourself, those types of falls are shocking to the system. That is incredible how you are working your realizations. Yesterday I decided that my end of life plans will always be something to come back to. I will put in my calendar to do every quarter or so. I keep finding ways to make it even tighter, more caring, clear. I imagine myself not alive and walking through my life looking at what was not in place like I’d want. That helps me with knowing it is always something to be looking at. Then it stays alive in my consciousness, the reality that there is really no time to waste, and we have no idea when It will happen. I also have found myself, sitting with The Lord, and imagining what it will be like when so many of my close friends die. I am younger than most the people I am closest to. I may die sooner as we never know, but it is more likely I will be around as many of my close friends die. I felt The Lord preparing me to face that so I will not be so shaken by it. I also am feeling the reality of how we are all souls in a body, always together in the True Realm. That brings me great comfort. Also, I feel Kalindi so alive and with me, with us, so the love never leaves, the True Realm remains the true reality. yes the Asian hate crimes, so so painful this world with hate. Do you know that you remind fo Brene Brown, some essence/vibe of her, have I told you this before? Anyhow here is something she posted yesterday that I found so impactful. I think of Gourasana, Our Lord pleading for us to at the minimum respect others , not even love everyone , but respect. The language of hate is a tool of evil, and I strive to love even the most disrespectful of people on the planet, and have compassion. I am always a work in progress. This place really is hell so I hold tight to all my friends that hold His love. I am grateful to have you all on this path as my friend. Here is the quote:
“The dehumanization of women.
The dehumanization of Asians.
The dehumanization of sex workers.
The dehumanization around class.
The dehumanization of immigrants.
Dehumanizing language is a radicalizing tool of white supremacy and white evangelical extremism (which are inextricably connected).
Combine a long history of discrimination and bias with leaders who talk about the “Kung Flu” and “grabbing them by the pussy” and you can see the very short distance between our language, our thoughts, and our actions including everything from violence and diminishing that violence with “just having a bad day” to “Well, look what kind of work they did.”
This is why shame, humiliation, and dehumanizing make the world a more dangerous place for all of us.
We shouldn’t tolerate anyone being shamed, humiliated or dehumanized – even the people who bring out our rage. It’s easier than accountability, it’s a quick way to discharge our anger, and it can even get some “likes” and fist bumps. But, there is no question that dehumanizing makes the world a more dangerous and vicious place for all of us.
I just finished watching the Freedom Walk Path Call and the song is still in my heart – Shower the people you love with Love!! I feel so much love for everyone on this path – I personally moved so much with each person who shared – it was like you were showering me with your essence and desire. I am focusing on staying in my depth and in the light – with God. I will think more about specific actions I can do when I pop out. When I stay connected with myself I find that I can be open and more real. I don’t abandon myself or try to hind or be invisible. Showing up. With the St Francis Prayer, I did print out several copies and have them different places, in my planner, my bathroom, in the car. Someone told me once that when you have little signs, that it is good to move them around. Out minds stop really seeing them after a while. I thought I would share that. The St Francis Prayer seems like a tall order for me – and I will find ways to break it down. I am going to carve out time to really sit with the prayer and see what I feel – I do want to have it be alive in my and realized, not just nice words on the page. I feel inspired and so grateful to have the recording to connect with you all. And thank you Ann Marie for all you do behind the scenes with the website. i love having access to the past events to go to when I need them. I want to find a way to honor David Swanson this month in a personal way this year. In the past I have always depended on the Retreat for his remembrance. So I am looking forward to finding depth in my gratitude for him.
PS sorry for the typos – I hit submit before I had a chance to check it over……
I know we don’t have meditation tonight but my plan is to redo the Lady’s meditations tonight and this weekend in honor of Her birthday. Feeling so grateful today!
P.S. “Rock This Town” by The Stray Cats was playing during my Tai Chi class this morning!!! One of the songs that remind me of Kalindi!!!
I love that video of her with that song! Of course CJ I had to play is just now really loud!!! Thanks for the reminded! I also did a meditation last night – I watched a Freedom Walk evening with her from a few years ago.
I was cooking today and had The Lady on (in the background but not really in the background) and something happened – I had so much joy in cooking! Was so nice to feel the ecstasy in the giving.
I feel so much gratitude today for The Lady.

I know we don’t have meditation tonight but my plan is to redo the Lady’s meditations tonight and this weekend in honor of Her birthday. Feeling so grateful today!
Let go. (worry)
Give up. (control)
Surrender to Thy will be done.
Help me have more trust, patience, kindness, gentleness and compassion.
My focus is on every day increasing my connection with the Lord, letting go, going deeper, waking up, feeling my longing moment to moment, seeing the illusion, walking away from it. Every day breaking through. One of my actions is to meditate daily on what I am letting go of or how I am going to go deeper and then do that.
On the Freedom Walk call, when we were asked to go within and find our spiritual focus I choose, Depth. Staying in my spiritual depth. Staying in the Light. I have discovered my personal concepts about what depth is. But how do I live from this place. I pop out into my personality, or “people pleasing”. I have awareness about these and can catch myself. The Lady has talked about moment to moment awareness. So asking myself, is this bringing me closer to God or pulling me away? The only way I know to be successful in this is day by day, moment by moment, be aware of the illusion and use my tools. I have been so drawn into the meditations with The Lady. I find I want to put the recording on and meditate with her more often. Meditation and prayer is the key. Prayer for depth and connection.
Also this year I am focusing on the Prayer of Saint Francis. This prayer is special to me, as I have a connection with Kalindi with it. When I read it, it brings me deeper into my longing. So I am going to see how I do to be in action as this becomes a living prayer this year. I feel very tender sharing this, but this is what this space is for, right. I will put the prayer below.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is offence, let me bring pardon.
Where there is discord, let me bring union.
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
O Master, let me not seek as much
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that one receives,
it is in self-forgetting that one finds,
it is in pardoning that one is pardoned,
it is in dying that one is raised to eternal life.
Thank you for sharing Linda – that is a powerful focus. By your side in friendship and support.
I love this prayer, Kat. My prayer is:
Dear Gourasana, Please help me. I can’t do this alone. Help me let go of what doesn’t serve me anymore. Love, CJ
This was my prayer last night. Family means my parents and siblings.
Dear Gourasana, I want to help my family but it seems impossible and hopeless. I know and trust that Thy Will be done. Please help me discern the accurate action for me.
Hello Freedom Walk family, I have taken on managing the Center Facebook Page as my next area of service. This entails posting quotes and public event reminders on our page. I have a request. If you are inclined, please send me short quotes that are inspiring to you. Space is limited so keep the quotes to a few sentences. Quotes can be from our founders, or from other inspiring people. Please include where you got the quote, and who spoke it, so our review team can verify accuracy and give proper credit. You can email your quote to nick@miracle.org.
I’m excited to be able to help get the truth and love out to more people. THANKS!
Love,
Nick
Nick – So happy you are the Facebook Manager!! Such a wide open opportunity to share truth and inspiration!! You are perfect for this Job for God!!! Love – Linda
Thank you Nick for stepping into this service. I will keep my eyes out for quotes! Love you.
Nick, this is really great. Thank you for taking this on, I will send some quotes. love to you:)
As a new member of Freedom Walk, let me start by saying how grateful I am to reconnect with so many of my old friends, as well as getting to know those of you who I have yet to meet. I did the Seminar in February 2010 and have lived at the VNP since 2012. Some of you may remember me as Suzie Simmons … and now I go by the name Sophie.
Next is my answer to the 2 questions above. My spiritual focus is (and will always be) … humility, wanting to be nothing, and surrendering to His will. The words of Rev. Thomas Thellusson Carter (1808-1901) brilliantly express what humility feels like to me:
“Humility is perpetual quietness of heart.
It is to have no trouble. It is to be never fretted, or vexed, or irritated, or wounded, or sore, or disappointed.
It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody notices me, nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised.
It is to have a blessed home in myself, where I can go within and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am quiet; as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around me and above me is troubled.”
I look forward to being with you all.
Thanks Sophie, It’s great to have you on our Path. I’ve always thought of you as one of God’s Flowers.
Sophie – This quote touched me in a way I did not expect. So deeply. Thank you for sharing it with us. Much Love to you – Linda
Welcome Sophie! The humility quote is a very special one for me too. If you have not done it yet, check out a recent video from The Lady to Freedom Walk, along with the God’s Flowers book. You will love it! It is on the FW learning center site. If you have trouble finding it, let me know and I will help you. Love, Kat
I loved the God’s Flowers book too! Such a uniquely spiritual creation.
I loved the God’s Flowers book too! Such a uniquely spiritual creation.
The End of Life Preparation event today was amazing and I am making a checklist of things to start working on. Thank you to everyone who helped prepare this event. It was very sobering!
Holy God! Holy God! Holy God! I am still immersed in The Lady after meditation last night. I woke up with a humming in my core, that is always a nice sign for me that “something” happened in my sleep. Amazing – I was transported on the floor in the Center at Her feet. I was inspired today to contact people that I know who have done the Intensive and have a love and relationship with The Lady. I invited them to come to at least one (or all) of the Thursday night meditations. I have had very sweet deep conversations with people and I have just started. I wanted to share this in case any of you have people in mind that you have been “meaning” to reach out to – and would like to reach out – whether to invite to a Wednesday or Thursday night meditation. Or maybe just to talk – I listened to a podcast yesterday about the effects of isolation physically and emotionally. How very important connection is. Anyway – I am so so grateful for The Lady and this month of her birthday is meaningful to my heart in a way I did not know was possible.
I have not known what to say since the Breakthrough Meditation but I have been quieter and feeling more humble. I had a blow out with a friend of mine and the conversation didn’t end well. I apologized but she went away angry at me. I see how the illusion works to keep us separate and my old ways were to make this person wrong, I’m right, I never want to talk to her again, etc. but the truth of the matter is that I love her and I am feeling the pain of us getting in a fight. I had to watch the latest video of The Lady tonight to hear some Truth and it is helping me to stay humble and quiet. I need to cry and feel the deep pain and pray to Lord Gourasana to help me and to help her too because she is suffering too. Please help us God! Trust, Faith and Surrender!!
HI CJ – Thank you for sharing about how you are doing – especially with your friend. Life is messy isn’t it. We get hurt and we hurt people we care about. If you would like to talk with someone, about what happened with your friend, please call me. Sometimes I find it really helpful to talk things through with a friend.
Thank you so much, Linda! We are not alone!!
Oh CJ, that is painful to experience but good you are growing from it. Linda is so great to talk things through with so I hope you call her. I have called her at very random but important times in my life .
And Yes, you watched The Lady.. , She is so much help. I send you love dear friend. Yes we are not alone at all, Thank God. xoxo
Hello- wow! the FW call was great today. I am focusing this year on humility and discipline. I don’t think I will ever stop focusing on these two qualities, and actually that gives me space to not feel I need to reach any zenith. I just want to go deeper and deeper with it, with God and with my heart. Also I wanted to tell you all that if you’d like a copy of the God’s Flowers book, the company is doing a 1/2 off coupon right now. Click on the link you were sent and then click on the “order” link and the coupon should come up. Love to you all, around the world!
Thank you, all you servants, who sent us the video of The Lady receiving her present and her message for us.
And thank you for the link so we could see the finished product. 86 pages of God’s presence, light, love and gratitude. God’s Flowers book is a masterpiece. Seeing everyones names, from all over the world brought me such joy for our Freedom Walk. I am beyond grateful for this FW path and for what the Lady is giving us. I took my magnifying glass out so I could drink in all the details on these sacred pages. To see Our Lady so happy, so filled with joy, was the best present ever. The quality of this book is stellar and I want to thank Anne Marie and all the people who supported this gift. I see the names of my brothers and sisters in Argentina, Germany, France, Australia, Holland, California, Honduras, Colorado (and many more locations) and I just want to cry. Reading it reminded me of the joy I feel when I see your faces at our annual retreat. I want to hold you all close and tell you how much I love you and appreciate your courage and devotion. We may be separated by distance but we are together in His love, of that I am sure. I love you all with all my heart. This was a tender, devoted and beautiful gift for Our Lady. Each of us can go back to it over and over, meditate with it, and lean into it when we need help. It is magnificent. Thank you!!
Hi everyone! Yes, that was so sweet of her to share this video and recording with us. I felt deeply touched to feel her love and enthusiasm when receiving this gift.
Thank you Anne and everyone else involved in this project, really first class!
With love and gratitude,
Jessi
I just watched the video from The Lady and I am crying with joy and love! Thank you Lady for loving Freedom Walk, God’s Flowers!! I am so grateful to be a part of this Mission and this Path. Love, CJ
CJ – my reply went under Kat’s post…I must have hit the wrong reply button…see below!!
When I was a kid, and I wrote to my grandma or my great aunt or they wrote to me, we put the postage stamp on the envelope upside down. That was code for a kiss. The upside down postage stamp symbolized a kiss. Let’s all do that as a way to spread the love! xxoo
Kat, I love this idea and I’m going to do it. Love, CJ
I opened the email tonight also. I had to watch The Lady more than once. I could barely take in her love and enthusiasm. I also spent some time with the contents for the God’s Flowers book, The beauty and quality of the book is amazing. The Lady is right – the depth and richness of each person’s quote and writing touched me so so deeply. It was a meditation in itself to take it all in. Thank you to everyone who was involved with gathering the quotes and write-ups and putting it all together in such a first class way. The size and quality of the book…the graphics…its all so so beautiful. I am so grateful we were able to give to The Lady so personally ALL TOGETHER. And thank you for including the link so we could experience the book this way. Thank you! I have been really missing people and this was such a special way tonight help me connect. Thank you.
I love this idea. I will do it! Kiss, kiss.
Our prompt is still about Kalindi – I am finding that I love listening to Her.
Kalindi – Kalindi – Kalindi – I can actually “hear” where I couldn’t necessarily hear before. Seeing her on her birthday was everything – she soaked in to me. I want everyone to experience Her is that video – I think people can hear her message now. Put this on You-Tube!! I have been listening to Kalindi in my car. Specifically lately the Come to God series – it all just lands – somehow – differently. And then to listen to The Lady and her commentary – puzzle pieces finding their way.
At our house, after the birthday call, we all came together and made lunch and put on Kalindi/old Intensive songs. There was so much energy happening – all the love just moving around. It was all so incredible. It was so great to see everyone on Zoom from all over the world. We kept saying – oh did you see “so and so” oh yeah – and we would be so happy to see them and have everyone together – anyway I feel this is such a wonderful way to start the New Year 2021.
Thank you Lady for sharing the talks with Freedom Walk. The talk about selflessness really helped me when I visited my parents on Christmas and even when I got triggered, I worked on controlling myself because really it’s not about me but about putting the other person first. I decided to buy one of the Vortex signs to put in my house so that I can remember to keep the illusion out of my house.
I’m feeling in the Christmas spirit and have been listening to “Joy to the World” and made a little altar to honor this time of year. I love all of you and hope you feel love, joy and peace on Christmas. Love, CJ
I get so many emails at times, and I am guilty of not really reading them all. (I have not gotten to read the newsletter yet). But thank God I did stop and really receive the gift of The Lady with the talk from Kalindi. I was mesmerized by The Lady. So grateful to see and hear and feel her. The talk from Kalindi has deepened my Christmas experience. Bringing and feeling the Christmas Love and now the depths of the Supreme Almighty Almighty Supreme, The Father. I am so moved by the purity of Kalindi and the Truth I can hear in this talk. Prayers for the Father Almighty. I am deepening my prayers.
Hi Everyone- Holidays are hard for me. I see how much expectation I put on myself and it is pure suffering. My prayer is, “Please, Lord, let me change how attached I am to my suffering and let go, into You.” I am taking the time to be still, drop into my heart, and just breathe. I am saying, “Thank you, for the awareness.” I want to stay situated with Him, inside my deepest core and cells. So becoming aware of when I am not is also a huge help for me. I am reading all of your quotes and they are fuel for my soul. Thank you.
dear friends all over the world,
in the spirit of our enriching, non material gift exchange I also like to contribute with my favorite quote:
“Attitude is Everything.
Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet
is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply, love generously,
care deeply, speak kindly…..
Leave the rest to God.”
(Author unknown)
I received this quote several years ago in one of our Seminars. It stands in a frame in my kitchen and I love the reminder of it’s message.
After having read it loud to my friends on our Freedom Walk Path call I discovered to my surprise that until now I had not given my attention to the one last sentence 🙂
So there is something to contemplate more for me:…….leave the rest to God.
With all my love and best wishes to all of you!
Oh my, I listened yesterday to the FW video call and it was out of this world! I feel so blessed and grateful to have found myself amongst all of you on this walk we call Freedom. I was sobbing and laughing and so touched by all of you. Your Mercy Melodies were golden. You all let go and just went for it and shared your vulnerable, sweet and willing voices and Kalindi’s teachings. Hearing all of your meaningful quotes was a great gift to my soul. I can feel how each and every one of you are deep into your relationship with Him, with Her, and it is grace in action. Thank you! Sweet Kalindi, she must be dancing in the True Realm for all of us and for the streams of God’s Love we are sharing with each other and the world. How this group must please the Lord….
Tamara and Sara take us places we couldn’t imagine, right? Thank you, to our devoted leaders. A million thank you’s. Your lives of selfless giving is humility, is God’s love, is being the change you wish to see in the world. It is taking all of us to places we couldn’t get to on our own. Thank you.
My quote is a simple line of poetry by Tagore. “Faith is the bird who feels the light and sings while the dawn is still dark.” I have had this poster on my wall for 25 years. This line takes me deep into my heart and I feel my faith when I read it, and I pray for more.
Merry Christmas to all my brothers and sisters, whom I am blessed to call my spiritual family. I love you so much. Joy to the World!
The call was so amazing and inspiring. Thank you to everyone!
My quote is from Breaking the Cycle of Birth and Death, Quote 32
Remember I am always in your heart. Any time you turn your attention within, I am there in My full power.
This quote helps me remember that I can always turn my attention within-any time of the day or night, wherever I am, and whatever I’m doing. Gourasana is always there. I can feel His presence and His love and I can feel my longing. When I don’t know how to do something- when I don’t know how to find my connection, or fall asleep in prayer, or let go-I always know how to turn my attention within and I can find my way from there.
The Freedom Walk call yesterday was magnificent! Exchanging gifts of quotes is so much better than giving each other “stuff”. My quote is 3 words from Gourasana that express the truth that my heart knows is true. It is very comforting to be led by something that my mind can’t understand. I long for union with all of God. No separation.
“It is Everything”
My quote for 2020 is by Albert Schweitzer
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us”.
I thank each of you for what you have given to me, in simple personal ways, so personally: meditating near each other, staffing together, sharing in breakout rooms, waving to each other on Zoom calls, – it was deeply felt.
God is our pilot light – and sometimes we do need the spark from another and sometimes we are the spark. We can stoke the light of Gourasana’s Mission together and spread it around.
Love, Linda
I am overwhelmed with so much love and connection from all of you today. Thank you for the space to just be. Here is the quote I chose to share
“But first you will need to take a step back. You have to accept yourself and love yourself just the way you are. Only by loving and accepting yourself the way you are can you truly be and express what you are. You are what you are, and that is all you are. You don’t need to pretend to be something else.”
– Don Miguel Ruiz from The Mastery of Love
These words are so powerful because I see how 2020 has been the best chance to step back and see where I am not accepting where I am in my journey…where the judgements and negative thoughts are still deterring me from connecting more deeply with the power of God.
All my love ~ Happy holidays!!
Thank you for the call today. It was overwhelming to feel so much love.
The quote I shared moves me because it makes me feel the aliveness of my connection with the Lord and my sincere desire to be always within Him.
“He said: in the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy.
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me there is something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
Albert Camus
Happy Holidays to everyone 🙂
Silvia, this is incredible. I love it. Thank you.
Wow what an amazing gathering we had. I am so deeply moved by each on of you and all we have.
Here are my quotes: “If we live by the spirit, let us also walk by the spirit.”
“The Holy Spirit removes abrasive qualities from one who is under His control”I love The Lady and these words from Her guide me and give me peace knowing HE will make me into who I am for Him to serve. The Lady’s Grace, for me, does this with prayer and vigilance in Her arms miracles of transformation occur daily. I am so grateful The Lord gave us The Lady.
and here is the poem I shared:
I know the way you can get
when you have not had a drink of love.
Your face hardens.
Your sweet muscles cramp.
Children become concerned
about a strange look that appears in your eyes
which even begins to worry your own mirror….
Squirrels and birds sense your sadness
and call an important conference in a tall tree.
They decide which secret code to chant
to help your mind and soul.
Oh, I know the way you can get if you
have not been drinking of love.
You might rip apart
every sentence your friends and teachers say,
looking for hidden clauses.
You might weigh every word on a scale
like a dead fish.
You might pull out a ruler to measure from
every angle in your darkness
the beautiful dimensions of a heart you once
trusted.
I know the way you can get
if you have not had a drink
from love’s hands.
That is why all the great ones speak
of the vital need
to keep remembering God,
so you will come to know and see him
as being so playful and just wanting–just wanting–to help.
That is why Hafiz says:
Bring your cup near me.
For all I care about is
quenching your thirst for freedom!
All a sane man or woman can ever care about
is giving love!
–Hafiz
I found this poem when searching for something that would help my friend. This reminds of God’s desire to always help me to let go into His love. If you are having a hard time you can place a cup of water on your altar and pray all day to be quenched by His love. Then it is so wonderful to drink from the cup and receive His divine love.
I am still filled with so much love from today’s event. I’m excited for The Lady to receive our book of quotes. I know She will love it! Here is my quote to remind me that I always have the choice of whether I go to God or the illusion:
From Breaking the Cycle of Birth & Death by Gourasana – Number 282
The future is not as concrete as some would like to believe. There is a certain destiny with which you may take birth, but you can change that destiny by changing your desire. So do not be afraid to find the truth, because at any point you can go back into the illusion, if that is your desire. Your desire will be fulfilled. If you change your desire, then that desire will be fulfilled.
I pray these prayers every day as a foundation of my daily practice.
Before sleep:
“Dear Lord, While I am sleeping tonight with Your power and mercy, will You please drag me out of the hold that the illusion has me bound by so that I can achieve everything that deep in my heart I know is true”. Gourasana
Whenever I go out of my house:
“Please Lord, never let me forget those who are suffering because when I forget them, I forget you”. The Lady
This quote is hanging over the sink as a reminder:
“If you want to be with God, then what you have to do is pay attention and focus. Have a part of your focus within on God, and never leave that focus. A part of you can work and do what you have to do, and the other part of you is keenly focused on God, in every way. He never goes out of your consciousness-never”. Kalindi
When I become frustrated in my service, I feel Gourasana rise up in my heart and I hear: “Remember what is happening here at Center of The Golden One, Remember what THIS is. Remember the gift you have been given to be accountable for bringing God’s Mission into the world through our websites and communications. It is not you, the illusory person doing anything. It is you letting go, opening to God, listening and taking action – calm, determined and humble”.
Thank you all for today’s call. What a glorious way to move forward into the world together this season.
Love, Pat
I am also very grateful for today’s call. So much love! The quote from Gourasana that has helped me so much is : “Know this: You will never meet a person whom you are better than.” This quote has helped me in dealing with others – my husband, my children, my Arizona community, my job, my patients. Thank you, Gourasana.
Thank you everyone for a beautiful time together during our last Freedom Walk Path call of the year. I needed to be filled so I can keep giving and you did just that for me!
My quote was “Who you really are wants nothing more than to get free.” This quote is in the sign book.
I also wanted to share a second quote from my daughter this morning. She’s been frustrated with her dad and still chose to go see him today. I asked her why. Her response was “because even though I don’t like how he lives and disagree with his decisions, I still love him”.
I thought that was a perfect example of love and giving without judgement. Something I need to continue to practice.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you for replenishing my heart and lifting my spirit today. My quotes are from Our Lady, whom I am falling into and trusting completely as I navigate big transitions in my life and know is the protection for my heart, soul and child:
1. “May we always feel gratitude for living in the wonder of a blessed life of heart, soul, prayer and meditation, Self and God-Realization”. This reminds me of how fortunate I truly am, to stay situated in gratitude and to completely trust every circumstance of my life is leading me to freedom, Ultimate Union with The Lord.
2. “Lord, please help me to “Come into the Light and Stay in the Light” so that I may be a presence of calm in the eye of the storm for others” – allows me to trust that amidst these troubled times in the world and despite what I am going through that my consciousness, giving and loving truly has an energetic impact in the world and makes a difference.
All my love to all of you ALL WAYS!

Happy Holidays to you, your friends and family. I love this quote from The Lady because it inspires me to give love even when I don’t feel love. Love is an act of will not just a good feeling.
“Love is an undefeatable benevolence, an incomparable goodwill that always seeks the highest of the other no matter what he does. It is the self giving love that freely gives without asking for anything in return and does not consider the worth of its object. It is more a love by choice and it refers to the will rather than the emotion. It is the unconditional Love God has for the world.”

This is how my connection to Kalindi shows up today. I had another of those can’t sleep at 3am nights. Too many thoughts were keeping me awake. I knew I was not going to be able to fall asleep, so I got up and wrote a list of projects on an RE pad. Then I straightened up several messy piles of papers on my desk. I went back to bed, still not falling asleep but at least my mind was calm. Eventually I went to sleep.
The next morning, I looked for a Kalindi talk to listen to as I did my exercise. For about a week, I had a list of three talks I wanted to listen to. But I hadn’t done it. I found “Stop Illusion from Spinning in your Mind.” One of her main points in the talk is to write everything down. Get it on paper. Get it out of your mind. That is exactly what I had done a few hours earlier.
Sometimes a talk will motivate me to take some action. At other times, as in this case, I feel like the talk is a confirmation that I am on the right track. Like Kalindi is saying to me, “Good job!.”
I put the list of projects in front of me and talked to Gourasana about “what’s the next most urgent thing?” This is another point in Kalindi’s talk.
At meditation last night, Bruce suggested we empty out by writing. I still had a page more stuff to put on paper so I could let go into the sweet meditation.
Thank you Kalindi. I am grateful to you Kalindi.
Thank you Kat!! I have been using my REs a lot – when I sit and wait for a call of meditation to start I have my list right by me. Since the last debriefing week I have been trying to debrief every night – at least empty out and and plan for the next day. Once they are on paper, it feels good to cross them off the list. I am looking forward to more debriefing coming up. I did not follow through with my plan to journal but maybe I can try again. See you tomorrow!
I hope everyone will go to meditation tonight. I feel like something big is going to happen!!
CJ – I am so glad you posted about meditation. I am so grateful for these mediations. It carried me into the night and then this morning I grabbed onto a song – True Love by Angels & Airwaves. OMG. What i thought was going to be a 5 minute let go turned into something else all together. Moved to tears, to movement to prayer and of course I played that song over and over and over……. Thank you CJ for forwarding songs my way….music & friends really help!
Thank you for the flood of true holiday cheer this morning! Love is infectious and we are blessed to get to feel it and spread it.
For those of you in the US, I look forward to be together on Saturday. I can’t wait to hear all of your quotes.
Love, Tamara
Yesterday these words poured onto the memo pad as I tried to capture the feeling I woke up in, from an amazing dream. I call this poem “December Seminar 2020.”
OMG
OMG
OMG
OMG
I’m a Participant in a Seminar
That’s all I have to say
OMG
Tears
Tears
Tears
Tears
All I can do is cry
I can’t function
Fear is realized
I see people
Many people I knew and had not seen for a long time
OMG
OMG
OMG
OMG
Kat!
Sophie!
She is happy to see me
She loves me!
I am happy to see her
She runs up to me and jumps in my arms
The mechanics
The logistics were very different
The location?
I don’t even know what city I was in
Love
Connection
Intimacy
Tender
Vulnerable
Joy
No words
Words
I saw how words can be a doorway to illusion
Because they put me in my ego-mind
I had a dream
I was a Participant in a Seminar
It was REAL!
OMG
OMG
OMG
OMG
Tuesday 4am after the Seminar
In the bathroom with a candle
Writing so my roommate is not disturbed
OMG OMG OMG!! I get this. Yes – the Hosts are there with us as out bodies rest and our souls are in the Seminar!! I miss the Seminar so much. As soon as we can have them again I am staffing – no matter where in the world it will happen!! Thank you for sharing your poem with us. Much Love to you!!
Kat – THANK YOU! I received your poem yesterday and Linda’s call (THANK YOU!) today when I needed connection most. I trust G put a whisper in your ear. I’ve been struggling. I feel lonely and pissed off, to be honest. The lack of friendships and connection during isolation has been consuming me. I know some of this is on me, and some of it is on the people who’re there when I’m doing well but not there when my heart is heavy. The disillusion has been hard to process. I don’t want to be a burden so I keep quiet. I’m finally today allowing myself to fall apart with God after both of you beautiful souls reached out and showed me there’s still hope and I just have to do my part. Your messages mean more to me than you know right now!
Sophie, yes I trust G put a whisper in my ear. I’m so glad I listened. xxxooo
Actually, I trust those words in the “poem” were not even mine, but were coming through me. I just allowed my hand to move on the paper.
Thank you Linda for your expression of so much joy. It has been a joyous time for me as well. Here in the VNP several of us are getting together to give to families in need – even a specific child in a home. Hugh and I are giving gifts to an 11 year old girl, Samantha. All the shopping was done at Target.com – and what fun it was! I was trying to feel into her, feel what she might want. I have been holding her in my prayers each day, and wanting her to feel some joy at opening the gifts. Also giving to people on the street is wonderful. I put some $5 bills in my car to be ready to be give. Also when I shop at Sprouts I have been adding their grocery bag of food for $8 or $9 each time. After all, I have a blessed life where I have all the food I need (plus more!) It feels good to give. One last thing – there is a sense of relief this holiday at not feeling the stress of being with family – all the expectations and disappointments. Buying all our gifts on Amazon has been a pleasure. Staying home instead of being in the stores has also been nice. And we decided NOT to decorate this year – and just keep it a quiet time for us.
Anyway it feels so good to give back. Happy Holidays Everyone!
Grace – Samatha is a blessed little girl. I love hearing how you and Hugh are choosing to celebrate the holiday. It is just the love right – ??!!! The extra tips mean so much more that we know to people!! Cheers to you in a stress free holiday – quiet and loving. In His Perfect Peace. Love –
The month of LOVE! Kalindi’s Christmas teachings just fill me up. Giving to others gives me the energy to just keep going when I want to pull the covers over my head. We have really embraced the Christmas decorating at our house. Last weekend we put up not one but two trees (well – one big and one really little). Garland down the staircase. Hug lights on the outside of the house. I love outside lights – our neighborhood is glowing. But it is not just the material part – there was a feeling of coming together as we decorated with a flow to the day. So homey!!
I have been listening to different kinds of Christmas music – I found a piano version on Spotify that is my “go to”. I am wrapping a lot of gifts at work and have it playing in the back ground.
Some mornings I wake up heavy hearted and teary – alittle empty – I can’t figure out the “why” part, but I just meditate for a bit and connect – get filled up and get on with my day. And I keep in mind that the people I interact with may have that same empty feeling behind the scenes – and I can just give them some extra love – even with my mask on. Or being extra nice to people on the phone when placing orders.
I am very grateful for our mission. I so enjoyed the Holiday Party – was so fun to laugh!!! Thank you to everyone who organized it. And the cookie deliveries!! WOW! I think Kalindi would have loved it too!!
Looking forward to our call on Saturday. Much Love – Linda
Thank you Linda for helping me this morning. I’ve felt a little Grinch like and decided to put up a little tree and it’s helped so much! I’m still working with kindness and to bring joy to anyone I come across with just a smile if that’s all I have. I’m looking forward to being with everyone on Saturday and celebrating Kalindi on January 2nd!! I feel her in my heart telling me to keep going!!!
Ann Marie, is there a way I can attach a file to a comment?
Hi Kat,
Unfortunately, no.
Love,
Ann Marie
Does anyone know who sings the song from tonight about Heart of a Child? That really brought me to my innocence with The Lord. Thank you, CJ
Hi CJ that song is sung by Liz Longley and you can get it on Spotify if you have that.
Love,
Leslie
The song is about isolation during COVID, btw. Their voices are beautiful.
Hello everyone. I found myself singing out loud this morning in my car, driving to work. Singing out loud has become a way to pray for me. Kalindi and Gourasana don’t care if I am not hitting the right key… I wanted to share this song from the cast of Hamilton for us. It really made me smile. I love you all very much. Let’s keep going together. I am really looking forward to the World Wide Holiday Party this Saturday.
With love,
Jet

Oh, thank you Jet for that song. It made me laugh….and cry, deeply! Love through the pain….
Everyone, I seriously miss you all and send you much love. Thank you for posting, for keeping going and giving. Looking forward to being together at our Christmas Call!
Love, Sara
Hi All,
I was so moved by The Lady’s talk on the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. I could feel how much effort, research, thought and heart she put into creating this talk. I will be listening to it several times. Also I love that she has given this gift to us, to help us on our journey. It amazes me how much The Lady holds us all, on both paths with so much love. I love you Lady!!!
Hi Everyone,
Can anyone tell me where to find The Lady’s new talk on the Fruits of the Spirit? Thank you….
With love, Grace
Hi Grace – You can purchase the talk at the BookStore on line. It is a new release, sold individually. I just got it myself this morning. You pay for it and can download it right away.
Love, Linda
Hi Everyone,
What an amazing Freedom Walk Path call we had last Saturday. If you could not join I hope you will make time to review it online. I have been listening to the Lady’s newly released talk: Fruits of the Holy Spirit . It is exquisite. The Lady starts off by saying how Kalindi wanted us to embrace the qualities of the Fruits of The Holy Spirit and The Lady expands on each Fruit and speaks of The Holy Spirit and Jesus., “The Prince of Peace” It’s just very incredible to hear The Lady and the way She takes us through what I feel is a meditation on the Fruits. I am finding more self realization in each Fruit through listening to this talk, and I feel closer to Kalindi and The Lord and all of us together. How incredible to have a this truth come in that is not of a concept (or lie) and really I feel how Lord Jesus intended it to be shared. Love, Kathryn
I love the new talk from The Lady and the quality I’m hoping to have more of is kindness since we are almost into the month of Love. I’m going to bring dollar bills with me in case anyone asks for money. I think I’ll pass out snacks and sanitizer too.
I feel like last night’s meditation was a continuation of last week’s meditation and I haven’t stopped meditating with Kalindi. I was disturbed by something while shopping at Sprouts and all of a sudden “All I Need is a Miracle” played on the speakers and I was dancing in the aisles with Kalindi. Last night hearing The Lady with the Gourasana song in the background broke me. I was in a puddle of tears because I know I’m going Home and Gourasana is with me always. TRIPLE YES!
Hello Brothers and Sisters, Kalindi has been with me in new ways. I find myself having conversations with her and it’s like she really wants to listen. I feel her care for me, for all of us, and it is precious. I have a jacket of hers I was given and I wear it and feel her. I love her perfume- it’s on a cotton ball in a special box. Reading Ultimate Freedom has been joyful, too. Listening to the Road to Freedom talks has been enriching my relationship with her, too. Mostly she is telling me to “wake up” and “sharpen up”. I am beyond grateful for all that she gave in her lifetime and all that she continues to give. She is the waterfall and all I have to do is step into her.
I completed the Volunteer Training Night on Saturday. Honestly, had it not been a requirement I would not have watched it. Because my ego knew better having attended many of these evenings in the past. I am glad that I did watch it. There was new content. I got very triggered by one presentation and that led to a cascade of movement. I also was overall uplifted by the event and inspired by the people speaking. I appreciate who they are and how they are changing. I appreciate their commitment to the Mission and keeping us out of trouble and moving forward into the light.
The tools I applied to being triggered were – “Let go, give up and surrender” and “Listen, say yes, and act.” I moved through the triggered feelings. I wrote a letter of constructive criticism related to the area that I was originally triggered in. And then after writing the letter another idea came into my awareness – a big idea – that I am going to submit to the “Suggestion Box”. I am feeling very empowered by all the ways we have available to us to speak up and contribute. I have pushed through my “pleasing personality” over and over again in the actions that I have taken. It is uncomfortable but I am finding that it is easier to speak up than to stuff down.
I am seeing that as I let go and act, my awareness changes and then from that awareness comes more action. It is an upward spiral.

I’m going to see if I can write something here and not mess it up when I post it. Again pushing through to share something – it does help me to write here, I go through something with God to show up. I watched the recording of the COVID evening with Bartleby and Mary and Daisy last night. Thank you for everyone who shared also. Our house came together this morning to go over our situations and plans in our commitment to keep each other safe. We played The Lady’s talk to begin our meeting. It is all very sobering. Tonight I worked on my bags – specifically my Emergency Bag – To Go Bag. Whenever I “work” on my bags, I always feel Kalindi. I debriefed and reorganized to keep everything current and together. I repacked some different clothes, things like that. It felt like I was sitting on the floor with her looking in all of my little kits. I love feeling her close like that. Feeling very grateful for all we are given.
Dear Linda
I used your recommendation of the Kalindi remembrance Meditation from April 18, 2019 to start my Sunday yesterday. It is truly a rich and beautiful meditation, and so perfect for these challenging times.
Thank you very much for reminding us.
With love, Teresa
I am so glad that you had such a beautiful mediation with Kalindi through the Remembrance of Her. Than you for letting me know – Much Love -Linda
I feel super grateful for the GMP these days. I have to release, so many tears. The Thursday night meditation with Ginny was one of those special meditations that really altered my internal life with God. “Supreme Almighty Almighty Supreme”. I find myself repeating this to myself during the day. More intent of finding Him, within. He is as close as your very breath. My prayers before I go to sleep have deepened. I am using the prayer Kalindi said in that talk right now. Feeling God in my heart – and calling on the Light Beings.
On Friday I found myself on looking for a mediation and scrolled through 2019. I want to recommend April 18, 2019. The Kalindi Remembrance Mediation. There is a beautiful video of Kalindi. She is speaking along the same lines of this talk – opening to the heart of God and who she is. It is so fitting for this focus on Kalindi. She looks so beautiful in this video and is so so clear. We don’t have so many videos of her and this one, I love it. The meditation has many of her favorite songs. I found myself really taken by it all.
I feel super grateful for the GMP these days. I have to release, so many tears right now, for everything on the news, for what is happening to people that I know and don’t know. I guess that is what it is to have an open heart, I feel so much more. It is a very serious situation we are living in. And the only place to go is to turn to God.
Great song Linda! I am letting go to VNV this morning.
I am connecting in to the “Just do it” energy of Kalindi and The Lady. I began the project of stacking a cord of wood yesterday. I have never stacked a cord of wood before. I was daunted by the pile of logs dumped on my driveway Saturday morning. I am findint it is a fun and very satsfying project especially set tomy car radio. I like tossing the logs. I cleaned the deep ashes out of my wood stove and scrubbed clean the baked on black film off the wood stove window early this morning. I am reminded that ashes are the final destination of my body intimately breathing in that fine ash.
I started my make up of the “Volonteer Education Night”. It is pretty far out and am once again reminded that our basic tenets are the keys to the kingdom.
I continue to see my pleasing personality in action and am in the moment starting to chose the light over that grooved habitual response. I am catching it in my thinking. Who I think I am has alot of ideas about who it thinks people are and how they will respond to my action. None of it is real or true. I am seeing the subtleties of how I think and gaining some ground when I don’t apply that thinking. I am not who I think I am and no one is who I think they are…it is just a giant mind trap to play it safe and avoid feeling. Done, done, done! Can anyone relate?
I can’t believe that it is November already. I promised myself I would show up and post here and I did not do very well in October. So I recommit here. I got very discombobulated in the Go Deeper Day -with the fires. It was another level of the rip from my life with the Team for The Lady. I was not there with them as they were evacuating. I had let go to a certain level, feeling God’s direction in my move – it was so clear and so right. I now could see that I had closed my heart a bit, I think. In the week following God just cracked me open to the pain, the longing, the love. My deep love for The Lady and the group of people, my friends, her team. And at the same time feeling so at home in my new house.
Once in a while, for me, there is a song, that helps with the letting go. When I hear it, I can not NOT move. In one of Pepe’s meditations, he played “Where is The Light.” I have played that song over and over and over…..when I get stuck I just put it on. I have a purple and white boa wrapped around the passenger seat headrest in my car. So I have Kalindi sitting next to me in the car. I put this song on and fly with her.
I am still digesting the Kalindi talk on Swallowing the Ego. My ego tends to like staying quiet, I need to swallow my ego to in fact speak up. And again the floor work is so important. There have been times lately where I have felt just plastered to the floor. And all I could manage was to get up and as Kalindi told us “to just jog in place”. But I’m working it all. Using my awareness. Day by Day.
PS I was recently gifted a whole bottle of Kalindi’s perfume oil, White Musk. CJ mentioned that she got some from Sara. I would be so happy to send anyone some – I have some cute little bottles left over from my SAC. It really is another sweet way to fall asleep in prayer with the scent of Kalindi. In big events Kalindi would hold something up and say “Who wants this” and you would have to raise your hand pretty quick. And run up to get it. Her gifts were just The Love. So please let me know if you don’t have any of Her perfume I would love to share it with you……with Love –
Linda, who is the artist who sings that song please? And I would love a little bit of Kalindi’s perfume! Love, CJ
The song is “Where There is Light” by VNV Nation
Yesterday’s FW call was very impactful for me. This week there was a very upsetting situation at the library in which we had to have a lockdown. My boss came to meet with me and was talking at me and I was still shaking from the incident so I said, “I’m not able to answer your questions right now. I still need to calm down.” So she wants to meet tomorrow and I’m going to let the fire of wanting to be right to burn in me. I’m trusting Gourasana that He is with me. Also, I saw my mom yesterday after not seeing my parents since March and I had so many feelings but I could feel her Longing. I could feel that she loves me and wants the best for me. At one point, she looked like a little girl with so much hope, joy and innocence and I had to go to my car and sob. I realized that I’ve been keeping the love from her because I’m afraid to feel it. I’m afraid of the love and rejection. But I want to pleasure God! And I feel Him holding me as I let my heart break more and more each day.
Thank you Grace for your inspiring words. So powerful what you are saying about what matters is the love and forgiveness.
Thank you Melinda for your inspiration. I have been going through some feelings and a feeling of being stirred up with the changes happening in the VNP structure. So much expectation. I was helped by Tamara’s share of “expecting an apology.” I had that feeling with a friend here. The Lady’s words really helped me with that.
What I know to be true is that none of it matters. Whether I am right or not does not matter. What matters is the love. What matters is forgiveness. What matters is living with an open heart. What matters is to never blame or put anything on others.
I am grateful for the direction and movement of this call. Love, Grace
Thank you Grace for your inspiring words. So powerful what you are saying about what matters is the love and forgiveness.
Thank you everyone for a most powerful Freedom Walk Path call. It was consciousness expanding. I really feel that. I felt something new coming alive me in after the call. I am praying for more of whatever it is.
I just finished writing and sending an apology to two women I do service with me – (I spoke about my illusion and how it showed up in a service project yesterday). I woke up this morning and got information about what to say in my apology, but as I laid in bed with it, I could see that even in this apology I was writing in my mind, that I had a sincere intention to be real and sincere with, there was my ego right there again weaving righteousness into it. I deleted that apology from my mind and started over later on my laptop. I took my final draft and ran it by a friend. She suggested pulling out one sentence that was putting something back on the women. So, I did and I went further. I am so grateful to have friends that can help me to be more aware of the illusion in me. The letter is sent, I feel good about it, and I am drawing a line in the sand with it in terms of my commitment to be fully responsible for my service projects, to not operate inside of my pleasing personality and then blame and judge others for everything that does not work because I did not make sure it would work from the start.
I don’t think I would have written the apology letter if I had not exposed my illusion on the call yesterday. I am glad I exposed the illusion, and I am glad I wrote the letter. I know these small steps and choices made are important even though they were both uncomfortable to do including the feeling of embarrassment that lingered on in me quite a while after the call. I am reminded from the clip we heard of The Lady yesterday, that making choices for the light and turning away from the pull of the automatic conditioning towards separation of my ego, pleases God.
One step after the next in trust and faith and with love in my heart for all of you. —- Melinda
I just love your comment CJ! What a way to demonstrate the “essence walk” as we were asked to. Like being vulnerable with co-workers and not needing airs. Amazing!
I too had an exceptional experience in the Breakthrough Day. I had no idea so much anger was inside, in several different areas of my life. And when Daniel had to leave to evacuate, it took me to a whole new depth. God please, I hate it here, please take me Home. I don’t want to have to come back. I want Home above all else. I am grateful that everyone is safe. The meditation was very deep and it went so fast. I let myself “vomit” – figuratively – release what felt really dark inside. I am experiencing more energy in my body and my mind is bothering me less. Letting go of fear around my kids. Trusting that God has them too and that they are strong, stable adults who can think for themselves. They don’t need my two cents. So I am finding greater trust in Gourasana and Kalindi. This is an amazing Path. I am so grateful that I found Him and that He found me. We are so fortunate. Love to all, Grace
Breakthrough Meditation was incredible! I pushed through some anger and shame and all of a sudden I was dancing to Madonna and Mike and the Mechanics with Gourasana! This morning I danced to AC/DC with Gourasana in my kitchen. I see how the illusion makes me believe that I am separate from everyone else. I have had so many stories about my co-workers, family, friends, etc. and today I feel very open and vulnerable and am sharing that vulnerability with my co-workers and just being me. I don’t have to put on any airs. I am feeling so much longing though and what I realize is that I am craving and longing for connection. So, I am reaching out to people and I listened to The Beautiful Gem on the way to work. I heard it from a different place than before. I am starting to really believe that God wants a relationship with me, more than I want one with Him, and why I chose to be in this material world. It’s beyond words, it’s an understanding in my heart and I’m talking to Him about it and listening to what is coming through. I am so blessed to be in this Mission! Thank you all, I could feel everyone through the streaming! Love, CJ
I had a venting session with a friend from FW and it was quite amazing. We read the instructions together and we got clear about what we were doing. I vented for 10 minutes and I felt so much space open up inside of me. I felt clear headed, calm and completely different than I had. I felt my Venting Partners love and care for me and I found some different realizations when I preached truth to myself. I want to try it in the mirror. This is a really great practice. Thank you!
Jet, I am really happy to hear of your experience of venting. I loved that you both read the instructions together before beginning. Let us know how it goes using a mirror. love, Tamara
I am loving the Kalindi talk called “Who’s Watching TV Anyway?” from the Ultimate Freedom monthly talks, It’s helping me to understand why there is the material world and how it creates more love in the True Realm. Without the pain and separation, there wouldn’t be the Longing, which I’m feeling a lot of lately. Going deeper with Gourasana!
CJ, I am so happy you appreciated the talk. I have been holding on to that talk for a year wanting to send it out but wondering if people would really get it. When I listen to it, it propels me to feeling the True Realm. And like you said, it helps to accept and feel the pain and separation.
I loved the meditation last night and I listened to the sleep meditation and went to sleep in prayer. Something happened for me during the night and then this morning I danced to “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere” by The Moody Blues with Kalindi and The Lady. A meeting I worried about went really well because I was trusting and calm.
I mentioned I was going into self quarantine. The reason being that in two weeks, I am going to visit my parents for two or three days/nights. They are starting a self quarantine too. I have a project that I need to help them with and it needs to be in person.
I have been crawling into Kalindi’s lap every night as I go to sleep asking for more connection and to expand my capacity to receive and give love. I can feel her tenderizing me. I just love the song “We’ll Shine Bright” that Bruce played at last Thursday meditation and have been listening to that song and the other Kalindi songs this week. It’s been very sweet to be in my awareness of Kalindi throughout the day.
Jet, Triple Yes! Kalindi la Gourasana is by our sides!! Her guidance for me lately is to take the high road so that’s what I’ve been doing. And it’s giving me so much humility! I love you soul sister…Keep Going…Never Give Up!
Hi everyone,
Our focus with Kalindi is really waking me up to her love and to my part in loving her. I feel her pushing me from the inside, telling me to “Wake UP!”. I look at the book, Ultimate Freedom, and I just cry. She was/is so beautiful and she wanted so much for us and for our freedom. I’ve been listening to , “See the being of illusion” talk, it’s only 17 minutes long, but it is rocking my world. I am praying for more awareness around my being of illusion and how it works inside of me. I am journaling and asking Kalindi, “What is next?”, and I am writing about all sorts of things. Getting the darkness outta me!!! The second most powerful force in the universe cannot win. Feeling more of Kalindi’s love for me has brought me simultaneous desire to keep going and a compassionate gentle love surrounding me. She was so many different energies and they are all here for me, for us, for the world. I feel all of you in my meditations and picture us all meditating in a temple in the true realm. It really helps me to keep going in my meditations, and especially Thursday nights. I just look at all your beautiful faces on the Zoom, send you a prayer for your meditation, and I tap into the energy. It’s really great!! I sing to her while I wash the dishes, while I put my makeup on in the morning, and I pour my heart out to her. This focus has been a Godsend, in more ways than one. Thank you, Lady, and all of my brothers and sisters here. I know I would be a lost soul without you all. I love you!!
Dear Linda,
Good luck with your move! I’m in some sort of parallel universe with you. I have been sniffing my little box with the Kalindi perfume on a cotton ball. It has been on my altar since the Pepe/Kalindi meditation a couple of weeks ago. I just meditated to that meditation again last night. Love, Kat P.S. Thanks for writing/journalling on the blog!
Dear Linda,
You inspired me to push through something too. I wrote a letter to my buddy Grace. I am going to let go and share the letter with everyone as a snippet of how I am moving with Kalindi.
Dear Grace,
I am a little shocked at how fast the laziness illusion has come back in the area of clothing, makeup and jewelry. I have “good excuses.” My eyes have been bothering me – first from wildfire smoke, then gardening, then changes of seasons. Now, I am going into self-quarantine. Blah, blah, blah… I even imagine that Kalindi had lots of days in her pajamas with no makeup; and yes, I am judging myself. Today is a house cleaning day. I will find something appropriate and pretty to wear. I will put on some blush, eyebrow pencil and lipstick (no mascara). Pockets would be good so I can listen to music or talks while I clean the bathroom. Love, Kat
Well I have to push through here to post. Usually once I start typing I can navigate where I am going here. I am in the middle of a big energetic push-and I am doing it with Kalindi and The Lady. I am moving. This has been a long meditative process that I have used the GMP and prayed about for months. I am moving in with Tara, Marcus and Siddh. Leaving the Extended Team house – Not my service for The Lady – is a big letting go. It feels so right. Gourasana has His hand in it all. Trust and Faith. I am so joyful about it. My mind is suspicious of joy – but this is the kind of joy that happens when I follow the pull/push from God within and Listen, Say Yes and Act. It is all falling into place. When I was packing I wore my lavender t-shirt and a small soft boa from an old Let Go. One of my friends gave me a bottle of the White Musk perfume. That fragrance can only bring me to the feet of Kalindi. I have so appreciated the meditations on Thursday nights – I have meditated to them again this week. I look forward to our gathering on Saturday. I will be unpacking at the new house and still hope to arrange to be on the call – the wifi should be working by then….. Love – Linda
Hi Everyone, so nice to log on after a little while and read how you all are doing and how we are all moving with The Lady and going to sleep in prayer. Amongst my nightly wake ups we have plenty of opportunity to practice and I must say as a result I feel Gourasana and The Lady with us, tangibly their arms around me and baby Benjamin. It’s quit a priceless gift during these early days of motherhood for me and for his entry into life this time around.
I could go on but before I run out of time, I must send a HUGE THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU with a virtual warm hug to all of you. We loved the birthday gift you sent to Benjamin (thank you for dropping it off Sara) elephants are our favorite and the one you gifted us sits on his book shelf near his changing table and we think of you all every time we see it. You know it’s equally a blessing to feel such an in-pourng of love surrounding us energetically. I’m personally feeling more love and support with out being together physically than I ever have before and it means so very much. It’s like a cocoon of love beings on earth surrounding us.
I’ll try to write again and logon soon, much love.
Last night’s meditation was epic and just what I needed! Listening to “Like a Prayer” and dancing with Kalindi caused me to be very connected to her and let go in my living room!!! I feel more serious today and more grounded.
Hello dear friends,
One area that I have done some research in since the COVID discussion evening with Mary and Bartleby is in money available to small businesses from the government to help with losses and added expenses incurred as a result of the virus.
For small business owners, I want to give you heads up about a new program that came out about 2 weeks ago. It is called Energize Colorado Gap Fund. It is a combination of grant and loney money. The program favors women owned and rural business, but any Colorado small business can apply. Applications for the first of 3 rounds of funding are due Sept 15th. Here is a link. https://energizecolorado.com/gap-fund/ They walk you through everything very clearly. They are giving 15k in grant money and up to an additional 20k in loans if you are accepted.
Pat Landrum gave me some excellent advice with respect to my application and if you seriously take on applying please reach out to me and I will share it with you.
Love to you all. I won’t be on the call tonight but look forward to listening to the recording over the weekend.
Is nice to spend time on a Saturday morning on this website. It is such a gift. I had a good talk with Kat about Journaling yesterday. I got a small flat notebook that fits in my purse. I am going to use it in conjunction with my prayers and information I get from them. When Kat and I were talking we remembered Kalindi’s talk: Go to Sleep in Prayer (Simple Path). I listened to it last night and this morning. She reminded me to have Consciousness, Desire, Awareness and Prayer during the day. I loved listening to her talk about this and sharing her own experience of doing this practice.
Hello My Dear Friends,
For me the practice of going to sleep in prayer this month has been very powerful and transforming.
I chose the The Lady’s Prayer about coming into the Light and staying in the Light to go to sleep with and wake up every morning with that prayer in my heart. My mood has changed, I feel a depth and sense of seriousness and responsibility which is helping me see more and be more aware every moment, if I am in the Light or not. And by seeing more I can choose better.
My spiritual practices have changed as well, I’ve been listening to talks from Kalindi almost every day since the last BMD, which have helped me connect more deeply with my longing, my desire to transform fast, my commitment with our Mission, and my responsibility as a spiritual seeker. I’m so grateful for all that is happening. And with this my Trust and Faith are increasing every day.
I love you all and miss you so much.
I hold you in my heart and feel you in my meditations.
Love,
Jessi
Hi Jessi – So nice to hear from you and feel your movement. Seriousness – like we talked about on our call/gathering. With all your desire – keep going and going and going! Much Love – Linda
Things are pretty rough at my library; in fact, we ended up being on Channel 7 news Sunday night with a story about how bad things are. All I could do was go to Gourasana and had a very deep meditation with Him. All of a sudden, my new 5 Rules to Live By were downloaded and here they are:
1. Go to sleep in prayer with Gourasana every night.
2. Listen to Sleep meditation every night.
3. Meditate everyday.
4. Listen to “Nothing Else Matters” everyday.
5. Trust the timing.
Hi CJ – Sorry that things are challenging at work. From your sharing though it sounds like you use your tools to help you move through it all. God is right there with us. Amazing that you got your 5 Rules!!!
When I was a girl, my parents would come and tuck me in to bed and I would say my prayers. Basically reciting “Now I lay me down to sleep…” I would really wonder what would happen to me if I died in my sleep. I knew I wanted to go to Heaven! At different times in my life I would talk to God before going to sleep and it was very powerful.
This month it has been good to have a concentrated focus on prayer. I love some mornings when I wake up, there is a humming in my body – it is familiar – and somehow I know something has happened in the night. I did find answers when I had a focus on something specific. It didn’t happen “overnight” but I kept working it and discovered what God was trying to tell me – it kept the prayer alive during the day. And then had to take the action on it. Listen, Say Yes and Act!
I have not done much with journaling. I had a thought on the Freedom Walk Call/Gathering – that I would like to call Cat about journaling.
I just did a big debrief of my papers and files. Notes from really old meditations/journaling in little books and notebook paper. I didn’t really know what to do with them – I basically shredded two bags full of paper. I did look through some of them. Trying to keep things more current. It feels really good to have my files more organized. I have so many quotes and signs. I have a binder of them – and it is nice to sit and look through them, like a meditation.
So in September I will follow more closely what Kalindi is recommending here and will fine my way into journaling. I don’t imagine I will make the time in the morning before going to work to journal – but before going to bed? I will see how it goes – maybe I will get a pretty journal to write in, make it special……
Hello my brothers and sisters, These posts are nectar for me right now. This has been such a rich month with the Funding Call, Breakthrough Meditation and the FW call. My mind has been blown and I really needed it to be blown.
I have been feeling such deep sadness lately for this world and for myself. My seriousness has grown deeper from these feelings. I feel my prayers before sleep are my plea to our Lord to “Please, keep taking me fast. Please keep me awake and engaged in my search for truth.” I wake up in a state of calmness sometimes, but other times, I wake up feeling like I just landed on an alien planet. I feel agitated and raw. I am trusting this time more and not spending as much time in my mind, trying to figure it all out. My mind is not my friend.
I feel my meditations with the center on Zoom Wednesday nights and Thursday nights are changing, too. I feel my own determination being pulled on to give the meditation all I’ve got, to find my desire and pray for more. I can’t depend on the room of meditators at the Center to lean on and inspire me to keep going. Thank you all for posting here, for doing your work, and for your serious devotion to Freedom Walk. We are all in this together and we have each other to be inspired by and to lean on when times get rough. I am here, if anyone wants to talk or needs an ear.
Hello to everyone around the world and here at home. I watched the Freedom Walk Path Call last night and I found it awe inspiring how I witnessed some people walk themselves right out of the illusion right in front of my eyes. I’m so grateful for the association of such a high caliber of people. Witnessing such truth, awareness and transformation in everyone is always so humbling.
I’m feeling a new clarity during my days and I am seeing a direct relationship between the clarity I have the prayer that I pray before sleep.
For me, being serious is a way to stay focused and present to the reality that this is a place of suffering and at anytime anything can happen and I could be thrown into the most unimaginable hell if I am not careful. So yeah, seriousness for me is a safeguard against the illusion. The illusion hates people to be serious. I’m just so grateful to be surrounded but such serious seekers that I can learn from.
These times……
they are motivating me a lot to turn within, to meditate more than ever and also observe my own darkness. Against negativity towards what is happening in the world it helps me a lot what Gourasana said: “when you go out, like for work, see it as a classroom, see people’s illusion and then see the same illusion in you. In the evening meditate, go to sleep in prayer….” .
Going to sleep in prayer with “doubled effort” made me desiring to also wake up in prayer and I decided to get up early enough in the morning to be able to meditate 1 hour before going to work. I
choose the meditations that The Lady introduced, for example from the evening with The Lady from June, or the “love and gratitude meditation to The Lady’s birthday” on. Freedom Walk Site playlists. I feel getting closer to The Lady and her qualities in this way.
It makes such a difference in how I am going through my days that I am very motivated to continue with this practice.
My love to all of you.
Thank you all for the calI together yesterday. I am touched and uplifted by everyone that shared.
I watched the movie recommended to us by Sara and Tamara that The Lady had asked The Path to watch, and I asked myself the question that The Lady posed to The Path– which was something like– would you have that kind of love and forgiveness? My answer is that I don’t know. But, I want to have that kind of love and compassion for people now. I know my desire is a big key to success. I had a troubling work situation a few months ago where I felt hurt and betrayed over a commission check that was not what I expected it to be. That event triggered alot of anger in me – way more than had to do with the check. I am very close with my then employers and I did not know if I could get through the situation without separation and that was devastating and unacceptable to me. I faced the pain and anger and got some very key help in navigating communications staying out of illusion the whole time. It was a brand new experience for me to approach people that I felt wronged by with only humility and love. I learned that this way of going was much better and easier than hashing things out in the illusion and trying to convince people that I was right and they were wrong or that I had been wronged. I learned that the situation triggered pain and darkness already there versus causing my reaction. I learned that I need to keep facing that pain and darkness in me and letting it go so that I can love, forgive and have compassion. I don’t want to be separate from people. I also see that I have preferences about who I don’t want to be separate from…easier for me to hold separation with people that I don’t know, that are strangers, than with people that I share personal love with. The level of forgiveness that The Lady asked about is outside of my experience. All I know is that by doing my work I can keep taking ground. Letting go of judgement of people that I see in the news doing bad things to others and holding them in my prayers with love is also a good starting point.
Seriousness to me is willing my way out of this world of illusion as I strive to come all the way in with love…and strive for that love to be as pure as possible to become a point of light – a point of God’s pure love. I love that Freedom Walk is a path for becoming a point of light! Kalindi was a point of light. I always think of her when anyone talks about points of light.
I was so touched by everyone’s sharing today. We all are on our own journeys with God and we are all in this together. I feel like I am serious inside of myself and yet I want to be light as a feather in this material world…not let anything stick so I can let go and be free and wild inside of myself. I feel like Gourasana is doing that with everyone during this difficult time. He is painting our canvases. And we, we, we are all listening to His whispers.
Hi Everyone,
I loved the call today – the topic of seriousness – it seems this is one of those areas that just keeps going, not like a place to reach as an end goal, but – similar to humility – something to constantly strive for. As serious as I hold myself to be, there is always more serious, more reaching for deeper connection, more letting go of illusions. Thank you Lady, Tamara & Sara for this very engaging and moving topic.
I was also going to read a part of a letter I wrote to Vince about The Lady’s suggestion to have the same attitude toward Covid that I have toward my spiritual path. It has helped me to reread my own words and I offer it to you as well. Here is what I wrote: “How I see this Covid thing is that it really is the same as my work at getting more awareness of the illusion. First of all, I see it as the enemy, as I see the illusion as the enemy. I see it as something that requires constant vigilance, as the illusion also requires. I see that it doesn’t play favorites and can get anyone – seeker or not, healthy or not, young or old, rich or poor – at any time. I see that when I am out – grocery shopping or working – I have to be in a constant state of awareness and focus, like I need to be doing with the illusion.”
One more thing: I have been working toward getting on to the Pre Path -which has now been put on hold until after the Think Tank. While I have so much desire to break the cycle of birth and death in this lifetime, I also am aware that at age 68, I really don’t have much time to get through everything I need to let go of. My movement has greatly increased in the last year since making this commitment. And it is out of my control how it goes. My job is to give everything, do everything I can to make it. To keep going, to not give up. But most importantly to trust God, and want and do His will. So….my next Fruit of the Spirit is Peace. Peace about timing. Peace about how it will go. Trust and Peace.
Love to all,
Grace
Hi everyone. I am so happy to have found the new blog. Today’s call was awesome. Seriousness is a subject I want to go deeper with, inside myself. I printed out all the quotes we got from The Lady on April 14th in our emails. Wow! what a huge gift we have been given. All around, the gift of the call, the gift of each other, the gift of our teachers, the gift of our mission and of our founders and of course, The Lady.
On another note, Shannon’s new baby boy, Benjamin Francisco Boren, was born on Aug 12 and he is doing great. Shannon is doing great, too. Taylore Morgann is organizing help for Shannon and her care team with deliveries of prepared food to her house. If you’d like to help out, please text Taylore at 828-231-0906.
Thank you to all of you that share on here on a regular basis. I read all the emails and am always inspired by everyone’s movement and all of our “togetherness.”
I listened to the talk “Jesus in the Marketplace” again and what stuck out for me is when she said to read the poem by Khalil Gibran on Love.
I have been looking at God’s love and His ways with me in this area. I’m looking at man/woman love, family love, love with my friends etc. I’m also studying different parts of the poem and I’m letting it move my consciousness. In the poem, to me, he is talking about the master disciple relationship. It reads.
“So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.”
All I want to have happen to me is the above. To just be made naked, free from husks, ground to whiteness to become pliant for God’s sacred feast.
On Breakthrough Day I got a small taste of being made naked and pliant. It was exquisite. I changed on a cellular level and I found more of this love that I so desperately long for.
Love,
Aliza
Thank you Aliza – I have that poem in my bathroom.
And from your Facebook share today about turning to The Lady. This talk. “Jesus in the Marketplace” is The Lady’s direction for us, personally.
For me in the Breakthrough Day I found a new level of being tenderly intimate with myself. Not right/wrong or good/bad or should/shouldn’t. I was reminded of this quote: “God Realization and Self Realization happen simultaneously”. I am “realizing” this quote. As I connect more intimately with myself, as I really give space and allowance for the human parts of me, I am also finding more of God.
This is a precious time period we are in -so much is happening.
Hi Tamara, can you tell me which Road to Freedom month and year the talk “God is All there is” came out? I’ve looked for it, but can’t find it. love, Kat
Hi Kat, The talk came out November 2013. If you lost it, let me know, and I can give it to you. Love, Tamara
Hi Lyndy,
Thank you for sharing so intimately with us all. From your sharing I feel the truth of our connections with each other – how they are not limited by time or space or anything. We are just moving forward together.
I am happy to hear of your deepening connection with Kalindi.
It is wonderful to be with you and Nikola on Thursday nights!
I am grateful to be on this Path with you and everyone.
Sending love, Melinda

I am so sorry for your loss of family. I am sure you are being a beacon of love and light for your cousin. Such difficult decisions to have to make for a daughter. Touched me how important having our end of life documents and intentions are to not add any unnecessary addition struggle to our loved ones. Peter G is my medical person and I am so aware how I don’t want him to have to carry that potential weight alone. I can be a partner by having everything in the best order I can.
It’s so hard not being able to see and be with my family now in COVID but I can also feel The Lady’s intent for the care we have for our family, ourselves, and others. And it’s taking daily perspective shifting to keep my view there.
I like Kat’s comments about staffing the Seminar and I can add that perspective to holding what might feel like discomfort for me personally in the perspective of surrendering with devotion and from love, the love and care COVID protocols needed as if I was in the Seminar
Trust me. Believe me when I say this because I am not going to try to explain it.
I am staffing the Seminar. Right now. My heart and soul are screaming for the Light. I just had a powerful staff meditation (by myself.) Starting in this moment and until at least Sunday I am letting go of my time, good ideas, preferences, maybe even some sleep because I am staffing.
It is not about me. It is about the participants, leaders, and staff. Lord, please help me help.
Breakthrough Meditation Day is a piece, a hugely important piece of the Seminar. I am lucky. I feel so grateful that I can have the Seminar in this way in these pandemic times.
We are all in it. Either as participants, staff or “outside the room” praying for the participants. Because we are all outside the room.
Good luck and Godspeed on Saturday, however your BMD looks. Love, Kat
Thank you Kat for sharing this – I can feel your desire for this and it is contagious. I miss the Seminar and love when I can tap into that feeling of staffing – whether in meditation or just making a cup of tea. Yes our bodies are “outside the room” but our hearts and souls are walking hand in hand with the light beings – praying for the people. I had a deep connection in meditation last night with Kalindi – and loved Pepe’s reminder that the light beings are all around. I look forward to keeping the flow going right into Breakthrough Day on Saturday. Much Love – Linda
I watched the recording of the last Freedom Walk Path call yesterday and felt myself being drawn so close to each one of you. And now, it’s Sunday for me and I’m feeling you all in Break through Meditation Day (because you are a day behind us). I am loving that Nikola and I are now doing the Freedom Walk meditations with you. Seeing all your faces on the screen and knowing we are meditating together is such a joy. Hearing you all share on the call increased my desire and feeling of being connected, knowing that we are really all doing this together. Kat, I loved when you said about living in the intensity of consciousness that we hold ourselves in when staffing the Seminar. It helped me to wake up my own consciousness and to realise that I don’t actually have to be with the group to do this but that it’s my responsibility. I really am getting that by elevating my own consciousness, I am helping raise the consciousness of the planet. Linda, I could relate when you spoke about ‘just going through the motions of transformation’. I feel like for some time, I have been just going through the motions, but recently I have felt something change, a settling, an acceptance. I am hearing Kalindi from a different place – Her words are seeping into my soul and I can feel change happening. I feel I have more to give and by giving I keep my connection alive. Thank you all for your posts, Linda, Katherine, Melinda, Kat, Constant, Christine and to all of you who shared on the call. My heart goes out to you Shannon – maybe you have already brought your little baby boy into the world and I wish you so much joy and fulfilment in your life together. I feel so very grateful to be on this Path together.

I listened to “Jesus in the Marketplace” again today while taking a walk this afternoon. An illusion that I can see and feel in me is that I think I know who Kalindi is and even though that thinking changes over time, I always think I know. She moves from one box to a deeper box in my consciousness but she is still in a box. I am not situated where Kalindi is asking us to be situated in our consciousness with her to speak of her as The Voice of God. It is humbling to see that. I have to let go of thinking I know who Kalindi is or what “Voice of God” is. I have arrogance to let go of. Action – meditate on Kalindi’s definition of what is a Master, Master for The World and Voice of God. Take it to Kalindi. Meditate on what needs to change in how I approach my transformation as I discard all boxes and let go of knowing anything.

I am commenting on my own post. Something, I started doing on my Facebook posts.
What a powerful Breakthough Meditation! Thank you to Maria, to all the staff, and to everyone that participated. I feel our collective movement out of fear, resignation, anger, unworthiness or other illusion that kept us out out of God’s flow and locked in concepts of our own design, and movement into greater trust, faith and surrender.
As I have been letting Kalindi out of the box, I find that I am letting myself out of the box. Yesterday was a huge step in that direction with letting go of self-judgment, anger, feeling a depth of pain and a powerful sex/heart/energy/longing connection — not sure how to put words on that but it was nice to be all alone in my house and completely cut loose.
One of my actions today was to create a buddy relationship where we could support each other to keep going in this opening. I was a little afraid to ask the person I had in mind but did it anyway and she was most open to the idea. We both have specific actions we have promised each other to do in the next week that will support us to keep going. I know that if I do these actions my breakthrough will expand…so here we go!
With much love!
I watched the Freedom Walk Path Call yesterday and I am so inspired about what people shared. It makes me proud to be part of this Mission. I loved when Jet said, “What would this Mission be without The Lady?” and Sara said something like, “What would the Mission be without you, Jet?” That really touched me, I remember Juan saying that we all matter when staffing a seminar. We all matter, no matter what Path we’re on and we all have our own special relationship with God and Gourasana. We are all Beautiful Gems and unique.
I love the reminder from Juan in the Seminar and how important each of us are – we do out part. I am watching the Mission Seminar. At one point John Valentine talked about staffing the seminar and the focus and Yes that we all have when staffing. And wouldn’t it be farout if we all lived our lives and did our service as if we were staffing the seminar. I love this and really aim my arrow high to live in this consciousness all of the time. Live in God’s structure. And in that, yes we all are so important – we each have our part to do. Thanks CJ
I was reading the invitation to the August 10th discussion with Mary and Bartleby again and was so overwhelmed with gratitude for the care we receive. For me it is an opportunity to stay informed and reinforce my diligence during the pandemic. It also is a solid action I can take to live as God desires me to, I feel that very personally. That is my constant prayer “Please Lord, Thy will be done, show me and guide me how to live in this world with You for others. And Lord I want to be with You as much as possible all the time, show me how to walk with You and I will hold Your hand and be more thank ok, always.” On another note, I hope many of can make the discussion because I care so much for each one of you and want us all to be as safe as possible. My cousin (by marriage who was also one of my closest friends growing up) Both her parents are in the ICU in Laredo, Texas. Her mom is intubated and her dad has a serious lung condition already so he does not want extra treatment. He signed his DNR a few days ago. He woke up in a panic the other night and ripped off his oxygen, monitors . My cousin and her immediate family were able to have a zoom with their mom, could see her in an induced coma, they sang to her, prayed out loud, talked to her.. and were completely devastated to see their strong, supportive, vibrant mom fighting for her life. They believe she contacted COVID at the grocery, the bank or Walmart. Her children had pleaded with her, asking her to NOT go out because she is in a high risk category. Both parents are admittedly stubborn and went anyways. So now they are both fighting for their lives. Both in the ICU a few room down from one another.
Yes Kathryn – you never know with this virus. Personally, I may have been exposed to someone who may have been exposed (she had some symptoms but did not get sick). But taking it very seriously – I am isolating at home until her test results come back. I don’t have any symptoms, and some people don’t. A big wake up. And I have been the most cautious and proactive in my comings and goings at work and at home. We are vulnerable. I hope as many of us as possible can be with Mary and Bartleby on Monday night. Prayers for your family, Kathryn.
I wanted to follow up that the person I was exposed to tested negative. These tests have a 30% failure rate. So its good that is was negative and a strong wake up for everyone.Still taking stronger precautions over all. I know this call on Monday will be beneficial for all of us.
Hi Linda,
Let us know when you have the test update. The day after I wrote my post my cousin’s dad passed away from COVID in the hospital. He was already struggling with lung problems caused by being exposed to agent Orange chemicals in Vietnam. He was a police chief, then owned a motorcycle escort service for many years, a very strong, independent man, and a wonderful provider to his family. Her mom is still in an induced coma, intubated. She is improving steadily, but yesterday some of her oxygen stats were very low again. Other tests show improvement tho, but it is so unpredictable. She will wake up and learn of her husband’s death. My cousin is in charge of all medical decisions and funeral preparation. She is says she in her worst nightmare. Monica is her name, and she is finding the most comfort in praying, and feeling all her friends and family praying with her. She feels “Our Heavenly Father was with her dad.” That touches me deeply. Never is God not with us and to some He is ever present in tragedy. This is just one story of millions around the world. I stay in prayer, and focus on how I can do my part everyday.
HI Kathryn – You may not have seen my reply – the test was negative for both people. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your cousins dad and Monica – It’s really hard. I’m sure you are a good support for her. Love you – Thanks for keeping in touch.
Ok great. xo
Hi Linda, It totally helps me. I have it in a few places and I glance and it and do like a quick scan and then just stop anything that has to do with the 10 no’s. I feel Kalindi’s care for us in it. Love you dear friend!
Kathryn
I noticed several people are focused on self – control as their “Fruit of the Holy Spirit” this month. I gave it some thought and I am joining them in that focus. First of all, I appreciate the reminder from Grace and Christine by virtue of their posting to have a focus. Thank you both.
My desire with this focus is to increase awareness, become more awake moment to moment, have more choice in terms of my actions in the moment, create more distance between myself and my being of illusion, become more detached from both the gifts from God and the trials and hardships, and increase my focus on desire for God and truth.
One of my daughters was trying to drive in one shot from Florida to Connecticut by herself yesterday after recently splitting up with her boyfriend of many years. When I checked in with her I discovered that she was having some significant challenges after 11 hours of driving. I had a really good opportunity to practice self-control when she was reluctant to take some of my advice – which in part was to not try to complete the 17 hour drive that day by herself but to stop at a hotel. I eventually let go and she eventually did stop later that evening. I can see that self-control is between me and trying to assert my will on to other people or the flow of the way things are going. It kept me from worrying when I knew I had given her my all and then there was just letting go and trusting. It helped me to give care and respect without judgment even when I did not agree with my daughter’s choices and it helped me find patience and give encouragement.
I am grateful for what I learned in this situation to give me trust to practice increasing my self-control this month.
I will also join in and focus on Self-Control for August! Thanks for the prompt Melinda!!
It reminds me of “Why Were The Saints, Saints”
To be cheerful when I want to cranky, to be Patient when I am at the end of my rope, be in Action when I want to procrastinate, to speak up when I want to keep silent (opposite from the quote for me!). Another slightly opposite one for me – is the agreeable part. I tend to be quiet and just agree, rather that speak up and risk rocking the boat. I know that’s different from the quote, but I’m applying to myself here. Looking forward to working this one.
I have meditated with Ginny’s Thursday night mediation a couple of times. I was moved with how The Lady spoke about the two masters – living masters. I had to re-remember that Kalindi’s energy is here, even though she left her body. And how critical it is to go deep enough to attract/be open to the special assistance. I have so much grief – raw grief in my meditations – and I can’t wallow around in it. Reminded that there are people who need to find Kalindi – they need to learn about how the mediation and the special assistance. Anyway – still processing and moving. And I thought if I am, there other people are. Thank you Ginny for the power in Thursday night that keeps going and going.
(I realized that I hit submit before I actually was finished.) I loved the Gourasana quotes that Ginny read also, I don’t ever remember hearing them -or at least they really landed in me in this meditation. I cherish the times I actually feel the presence – when I let the love and energy really take me over. This has taken extra focus on my part in meditating alone it my room (as opposed to all being together at the Center). I am finding my way though – anyway = I promised myself I would participate on this blog – finding my way…
Hi Linda. Thank you for the inspiring posts about your meditations. It is not easy for me to feel that kind of raw grief that you described. I hope you give yourself space to feel it to the depth. It might take some time and doing that may not be wallowing around. Only you know… but I hope you give yourself a ton of space to feel it all. I think in that you will go very deep into your longing and be receiving God’s help and energy.
Christine, thank you for your comments and posting Kalindi’s quote. Really impacted me. Helping me to also realign with moving toward a crumbled heart, unprotected and open.
I am really focusing on ‘Calm with Gourasana’ and listening to church music in my AM meditation the last week. Seems what I need right now. I sense there is a kind of back door opening into my open heart through calm. Quiet and still helps me feel my connection and in that is openness and a kind of strength or courage to feel deeply, but somehow it isn’t big emotions. So many different flavors of open hearted ness.
I was really struck by this Kalindi quote from the Road to Freedom page on Facebook:
And once He finds you, and once you find Him, then the search is over. The search is over in this world; the search is over in that world. And it is just a matter of more and more and more connection and then longing for more and longing for more, longing for more, and just climbing out of this world into the true realm.
People are thinking that you heal your heart. But no, you break it wide open. And knowing love is to know a complete broken heart that stays open. Isn’t that incredible? . . .
You can understand The Prophet, “On Love” too: “Just as love crowns you, so shall it crucify you.”
So everybody – break your heart open, you know? And just get on with it, and don’t try to fill it up with anything else but God.
But for most people it breaks, and before they can even tolerate it for even one month they have another relationship going on. Because they can’t stand that pain. And that pain is pain from the separation from God. So you just keep going from what you’re really separate from and from what really broke your heart . . .
Kalindi.
I think I have still been trying to heal my heart and I saw today how I started to shut my heart down, to protect it so I won’t get hurt by family, coworkers, etc. and once I had time to release, I listened to a few songs that caused my heart to break. I’m so grateful to have this awareness. I think I used to just walk around with a protected heart and didn’t realize that I was suffering from that. It is much better to let myself feel the pain of an open heart, much more fulfilling. P.S. The songs were “Love is” by Vanessa Williams and “This Love” by Taylor Swift…kind of mushy songs but whatever it takes to break the heart open. Now I feel like I can go to work tomorrow with an open heart ready to give. Thank you Kalindi for speaking the Truth and ripping my heart open. I love you!
Thank you CJ – I know what you mean. It’s like when I am in the depth of mediation and can allow the pain to break my heart open – when I’m in it – it is everything! I could keep going and going in the pain and the longing – that is the love – right? I have been doing that this week – Doing the Practice the Presence of the Lord – with a longer release part…. I will check out your song suggestions also. – songs that remind me of Kalindi also help me. Thank you for writing!!
Thank you, CJ, for posting these words of Kalindi. Reading it today, even though I listened to the talk twice, I felt her words differently.
Keep trusting what you need to open up. No concepts or comparing. The music that helped me 5 years ago is so different now.
You always inspire me….
Love,
Grace
Dear FW Friends,
I was not able to attend the FW Path Call on July 25th but I just watched the video recording of it today. I felt that it was important to watch it right away. I’m grateful for you all and grateful that because of technology it was like I was with you all.
I realized that I have been going in and out of complacency, numbness, and boredom with the pandemic. I have parallel voices – one of them looking for distraction, entertainment, and activity. The other one saying, “no, that is not essential, that is not necessary, that is not safe. Stay home and tolerate the discomfort.” Or I ask myself if something I want to do is worth dying for. It is not.
I also realize that I have been wasting time that could be spent on spiritual practices. On the other hand, I am also grateful and trusting that it is OK to slow down, rest and wait for the “next thing” to show up. I am balancing staying just informed enough but not so much that I go into sadness and depression with the darkness and suffering of the world. I am balancing feeling so much gratitude for my life and feeling so sad that so many people are suffering. Love, Kat
HI Kat – I’m glad you could watch the call right away. You were definitely missed!! I can relate to what you wrote. I also have to look daily at only doing what is necessary – safer at home. I have felt like I have been going through the motions with things. This week I took a stand and have meditated the past two nights – active meditations!! It has really made a big difference. Take good care and keep in touch!! Love!!
Dear FW Family,
I am so grateful for our FW Path Call yesterday. I found it so rich and helpful. I reached out to someone who was extra challenged and suggested they plaster the “10 NO’s ” all around their house. I noticed a lot of us struggling with deep areas, which is so wonderful because it is movement closer to God. I also noticed how the “10 No’s ” were sneaking in there. I have found that keeping a sign up of the 10 No’s is really helping me. I woke up this morning and had had nightmares and felt totally anxious. My first thought was one of oh no, not again, some kind of negative vibe. Then I remembered: That is a 10 NO, and stopped. I could detach, go deeper, let go and I found so much compassion for myself, and in turn felt this for all of us, and the world. So as we all go through deep opportunities to let go, let’s all together stay out of the 10 No’s. I know that if I stay out of it, it helps my fellow brothers and sisters to stay out of it. We are all connected. Kalindi’s teaching and guidance to stay out of the 10 No’s is so important. What is also really cool is then I find I am open to give more. Also I am can be with My Lord in my loving relationship. So this can be our quarantine wall paper, all the words of truth plastered on our walls to remind us. I want to say how very grateful I feel to be part of our FW Path, and how much I love each of you, and how much you give to me. I am so very blessed. Love, Kathryn
Hi Kathryn – you are a breath of fresher girl!! So nice to see you on the call! I have the Ten NO’s in my bathroom. I will make some copies and put them around – great idea.
Hi Linda, It totally helps me. I have it in a few places and I glance and it and do like a quick scan and then just stop anything that has to do with the 10 no’s. I feel Kalindi’s care for us in it. Love you dear friend!
Kathryn
Hello All,
The fruit I am picking for this month is Self Control. In 2 areas – with food and with speaking – or more specifically not speaking when I want to speak – an opinion, a judgment, advice.
Also I listened twice to Jesus in the Marketplace. At first I felt triggered, remembering some of the crazy things we did in the early days and how confronting it all way. When I listened a second time I was so grateful for the qualities in Kalindi that came through on the talk. Not caring how she looked or what others thought or how they reacted. She only wanted to speak the truth and to get it out into the world. She has so much passion and energy and the feeling of never giving up.
Thank you Kalindi – I love you so much and am so grateful to you.
Love to all, Grace
My new Fruit of the Holy Spirit is going to be Self Control. I realized today that I have been working on controlling my being especially when I get triggered and want to vent or gossip. I have been using the venting guidance from Kalindi to get out my frustration and then let it go and it is helping so much. I have been choosing silence rather than unnecessary talking during work meetings for instance. I don’t always need to give my opinion. It causes me to go deeper within myself and to be in a deep state of prayer. I know that I’m getting freer and freer each day and that brings me Real Joy. Love, CJ
Dear Linda,
Thank you for your post about how you are experiencing Kalindi talk “Jesus in the Market Place”. I am also really opening up in a bigger way to letting her energy get into me – it is just so powerful, to say the least – it’s amazing to approach a talk from her like that. Like you say, she wakes me up, on all levels, and I need that. So grateful to Kalindi.
I have also been using her “Pray for Courage” talk (it’s available on the bookstore); is short and so powerful and practical to pray to when I am facing obstacles, when I feel weak and need strength & courage. I focus on her voice equally as I focus on her words, and really receive help when I do this practice.
And yes, Linda, please do bring your questions to the next Freedom Walk Path Call! I look forward to being together with everyone. Love, Sara
If you don’t have a copy of the poem that Kalindi is referring to in the talk – I cut a pasted a copy. Didn’t know if I could add an attachment. Love, Linda
The Prophet
By Kahlil Gibran
On Love
Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love.
And he raised his head and looked upon
the people, and there fell a stillness upon
them. And with a great vice he said:
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Through the sword hidden among his
pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he
crucify you. Even as he is for your growth
so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and
caresses your tenderest branches that quiver
in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and
shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your huskes.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred
fire, that you may become sacred bread for
God’s sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you
That you may know the secrets of your
heart, and in that knowledge become a
fragment of Life’s heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only
love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover
Your nakedness and pass out love’s
threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you
shall laugh, but not all of your laughter,
and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes
naught but from itself.
Love possess not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say,
“God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am
in the heart of God.”
And think not you can direct the course
of love, for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have
desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook
that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
And give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstacy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the
beloved in your heart and a song of praise
upon your lips,
Thank you so much Linda for posting the poem Kalindi mentions on her talk. You inspired us to post it on the Current Focus.
Love, Rosa
I can feel the intensity in Kalindi in my body as I listened to the talk. It felt like fear, but I am not afraid. It is like she is shaking me awake. Transmitting the seriousness and urgency that she carries. There is so so much in this talk. I knew I needed to write something to participate. This is an example of doing my part every day – participating in this path that I am on, whether I feel prepared to not. She made this in 2006 and it is right on the mark in 2020. I feel like we have entered into the worldwide problems she points to and it is just beginning. Currently in order for Kalindi to be out of the box, I have to get out of my own box. Her energy is alive in her talks and also in the people who have been with her. So for me, it is to live her teachings and be a point of light and share the love of God in a REAL way. There are people looking for the truth of this Mission. With COVID restrictions, there are a lot of opportunities on line now with programs and Zoom workshops talking about enlightenment – the dream of enlightenment. And there are very serous seekers and the REAL light-workers. She said 4 times “find the real light-workers”. I need to fortify my confidence to talk about this work – have deeper conversations with people in my field. I do have questions about how to share Kalindi talks on-line and practical things like that, maybe we can talk about on our call? Personally I am grateful for The Lady and how she set us up to listen to this talk. I have listened to it several times and did not know how to “blog” about it – It is all happening now in this current day – we need each other, we need the Love of God, our meditations, doing our work.
Dear Linda,
I really like what you said that for Kalindi to be out of the box now, you need to be out of the box. That is a reminder and inspiration for me to get out of the box. It is all too comfortable in that box…but not really because it is very dead in there.
Finding the real light workers was such a strong powerful command in “Jesus in the marketplace”. I am taking that as direct orders from God since it was spoken by the “Voice of God”. I am your partner and I think we have huge opportunities in front of us…but we need to think outside of that box to find them. After listening to the talk 7 times I shared it with a new friend who is a very serious Zen Buddhism practitioner. He is a light worker. I created alot of context for the talk. He received the talk with openness and gratitude. I believe that talk set the stage for our relationship where some unusual things are happening. We walked out to a Buddhist Stupa yesterday and he did his bows and prayers and then explained who he was praying to to me. We have very different paths but are finding common ground in friendship. I also learned yesterday just how long it takes to make it Home on his path. All I could say was, “Wow! That is a very long time!” I am very grateful that we have what we have been given. I can see more clearly how unusual it is and that we are going at a speed the world has never seen! Hallelujah! With much love to you. Melinda
Thank you Melinda – lets talk soon! I’m inspired by what happened with your Buddhist friend. I am also having incredible connections with people – mostly on line. Finding my way in sharing – all I can share it what I have found within – which motivates me to keep going, deeper, you know… deeper and out of the box at the same time!!
I am re-listening to this talk several times. And will look at these questions. I wanted to jump on the blog even though I don’t have my answers to any of these questions yet….
I wanted to remind us that The Lady has shared how she listens to Kalindi. My remembering of what she said – She has the transcript in front of her and she follows along and highlights and writes in the margins. She has a notebook of the transcripts for the Road to Freedom talks. I kept up with printing out the transcripts and made the notebooks which I love having. But I have not used them in this way, as much as I would like. I usually listen to Kalindi on walks. Anyway – looking forward to moving with this along together…..Love – Linda
Linda,
Can you remind me which talk this is that you listened to?
Thanks.
Love
Grace
HI Grace –
I think she talked about this on the Thursday evening meditation on June 25 – this is what sparked my memory of this. And encouraging us to study Kalindi. I don’t know what events she specifically talked about this in the past….I’ll see what I can recall. Maybe other people have good recall and notes about it. I hope this is helpful. I found that I love sitting and listening to Kalindi – especially this talk – there is SO SO much in there.
Much Love
Linda
The Kalindi talks have stirred me up and I’m seeing so clearly how I let unworthiness and resignation still run the show. Sometimes all I can do is pray for some light. Help me God! I just want to be with you! I still don’t know how to be in this material world right now. But I also know the Truth is that everything that is going on is helping me to get closer to God.
Hi everyone! I was going to wait until later to blog, but could not contain the energy! On the FWP call, Sara suggested for me to listen to “Cry of the Soul”. After downloading it from the bookstore, I immediately put it on and got transported to another realm. The power from Kalindi and The lady in that meditation was so healing and vitalizing. I am so grateful right now… for Gourasana,Kalindi, The Lady and all the beautiful souls of the mission. I love you all!
I can’t believe the Breakthrough meditation was just last week. I know I have changed so much since then. I made a commitment to scream in my towel everyday and it really helps. Last night I was feeling gloomy and started to meditate to the song “Torrent” and then “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere” by the Moody Blues. I love the line that I’m being protected with the Truth. I know that the Highest Truth from Kalindi, Gourasana and The Lady protects me from this material world.
Good morning, I’m embracing”The Vicinity Prayer” because The Lady told me to use it. Not only am I praying it, I’m praying the prayer with fervor like She said to. I’m also simultaneously praying the prayer with the deepest desire and fervor for Home in this lifetime. I’m doing both because in the prayer it says, “Please Lord, prepare me to return to the Home of God at the soonest possible moment.” I hope I am not splitting hairs, i’m just trying to cover all of my bases. For me, the writing is on the wall that the world is getting worse, not better and now my focus has turned towards a seriousness that I have never had before. My focus is to keep turning towards Him and praying “Thy will be done” along with preparing for the end of my life which could mean 2 days or 20 years from now I do not know. The feeling is that I want to live out of my bags and be ready for anything. The part of The Father Prayer that I keep on my desktop is “I commend my will, desires, life and soul into Your keeping….Not just my soul but for all of our souls. I love you all very much and God speed to each and everyone of you/us. Aliza Moore
I am beyond grateful for these times with The Lady. Who knew the Retreat would come to us this way? I know I have been changed by this work we are doing. I can look back even to a week ago and know how much i have changed and moved. Here in the VNP we are really looking at the grand illusion and how it has us all. We are looking at death and dying in the face, and I notice I have less fear happening. I put a note on my computer that says “Is today my day to die?” I want to keep that consciousness, looking to see if I am prepared, meaning where am I with God right now if I were to die right now? There is so much freedom in this perspective…it is not negative and it’s not morose.
A big thank you to all of you, my spiritual family, as we all go towards Home together.
It is simply absolutely fantastic what the people of Munich Center are providing technically and spiritually!
This morning I woke up with silent, peaceful joy in my heart after another moving and deep Online Breakthrough Meditation Day that happened yesterday:
Gourasana’s Mission is unstoppable!!!
Could we have ever imagined to share in horseshoes online, being held and come together so lovingly Online?
As a rather scared person towards technique I have experienced by now that it is possible for anyone to join. We always receive well laid out step by step instructions how to log in to the different offers and if someone has any difficulties, support and care comes right away in order that everybody can participate. Never giving up!
Gourasana’s teaching in practice through this extraordinary time.
I am so so so so so so soooooooo grateful to be part of this Mission. Thank you everyone for also being part and your giving in countless many different ways!
Teresa
Good day everyone!
My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude for The Mission and the Freedom Walk Path. I am realizing more and more that there are a couple themes that have become illuminated since Breakthrough Day and being with The Lady. The first one is Discipline – More discipline in my everyday spiritual and material life to ensure that there is no procrastination. The second one is Detachment – Several attachments/expectations have bubbled to the surface (Relationships, money, prestige). I have a strong desire to detach from the way I think my life should look and surrender to God. The last theme is Awareness – More awareness of the truth so I can seek and find the ways to gain and share more love.

Dear Ones,
Today, I was writing out my goals and what I want to achieve spiritually, personally and materially.
I have been thinking a lot about my direction. I know completely, without doubt that Gourasana’s Mission is my life purpose and destiny.
I wrote a personal mission statement for what I want to achieve with my life and decided that I would read it every morning, for the next month to keep me focused and on track.
Then I thought about the greater mission and how I could hold my vision on the highest purpose and big picture of what we are doing and why.
I have decided to read the Mission’s, mission statement, every morning too.
I feel so blessed, beyond comprehension for all I have received from our path and I want to lay on my death bed, knowing I gave everything.
I love you and thank you
Daryl
Hello beloved Beloveds!
I just listened to the Denver follow-up call from the 30th of May. How cool, that you have the congregation from Latin America on your calls!
Your shares were heart warming, thank you so much.
The day with the Lady was an eye and heart opener for me. I did have so many questions about “the breakaway” that no-one could answer and were a mystery to me for such a long time.
I understand now, why nobody wanted to talk about it, as it was clearly the Lady’s story to tell.
I loved how there was loving forgiveness AND consequences.
There is a word in German called “fremdschaemen” (could be translated with the unpleasant feeling of being ashamed on someone else’s behalf), this would accurately describe how I felt during the Lady’s revealing talk.
Ultimately, the feeling of shame is another trap of the ego and the illusion.
After using the scream towel and practicing calming, I saw clearly, that these things had to be said for transparency and prevention of gossip, and that the shame I felt only had the function to look into, where don’t I follow Kalindi’s orders?
Some things come to my mind immediately… But I’d like not think a bit more before sharing about it.
I guess that makes it a “to-be-continued”-post.
I promised myself, that I won’t let the fear of sounding unreflected and stupid stop me from sharing myself on this blog on a regular basis. I feel so connected to you all when YOU share. How can I NOT give you the chance to feel connected to me by holding back my sharing?
On this note “seid umschlungen Millionen” (Be embraced you millions) with lots of love

Hello everyone, my name is Mark Antonio from Australia (the 7th Aussie dwarf) and I am so grateful for our path that guides us to truth, light and love. The connections we have from all around the world is so wonderful and our recent FW call with Tamara & Sara delivered many Golden Nuggets.
Firstly, the reminder that we are on a path and we need to take step by step approach to get our destination. The reminder that small steps are fine and just keep working on what’s in front of you has help me slow down and be more present. Also, the reminder that mistakes are not bad things and that we get more out of mistakes then successes. This alone has helped me recognise where self-judgement is prevalent in my ego.
As I sit here and go through my notes from our FW call, so much guidance and light. For example quotes such as – Effort is the Key to Advancement – Just do it – Live to Give, are wonderful reminders to just keep going.
On our call we also spoke about growing our awareness when hitting up against our illusions or fears.
And using a simple 3 step approach, 1 – Be Aware (see it) , 2 – Expose it (without judgement) and then 3 – Take Action in the Light. A few days ago I was able to use this approach in a very difficult situation at work and without going into all the details the result was amazing, in fact some others at work called it a miracle. Yes a Golden Nugget for sure.
We receive so much guidance so my actions are to blog more regularly and to review my notes more often, meditate daily even if it’s only 5 minutes. Pause, slow down, keep calm, peaceful, observe and feel the Love of God.
I love our teachings, I love that it’s all so simple. I’m so grateful for our world-wide community, I am so grateful for everyone’s support and efforts.
Thank you Thank you Thank you, and my Love to you all.
Mark
Good morning to everyone all around the world,
My fruit for the last three months has been Love. I’ll trust that I will know when the time will be to move onto another fruit but for now it is love.
My actions are Calm with Gourasana, staying quiet, reading The Father Prayer every morning and daily meditations. I’m also starting back up my gratitude list for which there is so much to be grateful for. Thank you to everyone on here who is sharing of themselves so freely and openly.
As some of you shared, I also find daily meditation so important, it keeps me in focus on my movement and it is a connecting to God and remembrance to Turn to Him throughout the day. I feel blessed to have found a path that brings me a life of connection, letting go of illusions and finding more and more love, Thank you.
What a lovely delight to hear from our Aussie friends from across the world! This really is a worldwide “happening.”
I watched the video of The Lady’s day and I was so impacted. I am grateful for her words on politics. I used it with a friend of mine who has different political beliefs than mine. I shared what The Lady spoke (she has done this work many years ago) and apologized for any separation I had on my side. We had an amazing conversation – she was so open and grateful that I shared some of what The Lady spoke.
Since the Covid 19 change, I have been zoom meditating 5 days a week with a friend here at the VNP. It has truly saved me. Having a daily appointment to meditate has helped me so much; left on my own, so many things seem to get in the way of a daily practice. Even making playlists has been a meditation for me. I feel that these meditations have truly saved me during this time.
Thank you, dear Australians, for sharing so deeply.
Love,
Grace
Dearest friends in Australia
Just before going to meditate with playlists of this website I read all of your so very inspiring posts.
Thank you very much everyone for your touching sharings!
It expands my heart too with joy and gratitude to recognize how deeply we are connected within through our common dedication to Gourasanas Mission, teachings and guidance. Holding hands, around the globe, is the picture that your sharings create in me.
One of my actions is to meditate daily, intense and deeply praying to be shown of the darkness that is in me and to surrender this to Him. I need to daily meditate in order to be on my knees, to admit that I am a fool and that I cannot break free by myself.
Thank you all.
Much love,
Teresa
Hello Everyone, I love the new website, so much dedication and beautiful work. Thank you.
As you’re aware, as others have shared, we here in Australia have been very fortunate to have our first FW call with Sara and Tamara.
We here in W.A. are incredibly lucky in that slowly life is opening up more on a physical level. I have very much felt the physical distance and seen how the illusion has played out to separate me more. Technology is amazing, yet there is nothing like a real hug.
Having the call this morning made me realise this more, as we came together as a community, locally and globally. I thank you deeply for the help and reminders, putting on a song spontaneously to feel my deep tears and anger, or joyfully dancing around my new home. God keeps shining the light on what needs to go and sometimes it gets all a little too much. It’s much easier to find gratitude when life is running smoothly, so my action is to pull on gratitude even during the tough times.
I will continue to focus on Gentleness from “The Fruits of the Holy Spirit” so as not to be hard on myself.
A big thank you to Sara and Tamara and to all that make this path happen.
With Love,
Dawn
Dear Friends on the path, as my other friends shared, we in Australia had just finished our first FW call with Sara and Tamara and it is wonderful to be together, friends in the light.
Tamara reminded us that we don’t need to look for what we should work on, as God will put it in front of our faces.
Thank you for allowing me to share what is in front of my face and what I am doing about it.
When I am feeling unloved, rejected, not cared for I will respond in mean ways aiming to hurt the other, to put them down. Judging them, thinking I am better. All born out of the deep pain of lack of care and unworthiness I carry within. I will avoid the pain. I will be righteous, intense, cold-hearted, selfish, manipulative, judgmental, shutdown, wanting to hurt.
Most people will only get a sense of that from me, but my wife and kids can get the full front of it. I have been working on it and I am doing much better, but I had a slip-up yesterday and I am taking this opportunity to expose this darkness that is within me but I want no part of and I am letting it go.
What I am going to do about it?
• Think before I speak
• Only positive communication and never out of intensity.
• Communicate from vulnerability – this is such an antidote to negativity. Vulnerability helps me own my pain, show the other where I am hurting, cry my tears. it moves me away from making it about the other and takes me deeper into my lifelong pain and my prayers to God.
• Burn That being of illusion – it is ok to feel the burn. More than ok, when I feel the burn, as hard as it is, some part of me can be happy, finally, I am letting go.
• Floorwork – Deep letting go in meditation.
• Pray to God to help me burn that darkness.
Thank you for reading my post and for our shared battle against the darkness that is as much within us as it is outside of us.
Love
Avi
We’ve had a wonderful morning here together with Tamara and Sara being reminded of the serious Path we are on. We have all committed to taking an action and were reminded of – what better way to consolidate that action than to blog and share it with everyone. We as a group probably haven’t been the greatest of bloggers and have maybe used the excuse of being so remote. However with now having the experience of online meditations and with having had several international participants joining us, it’s clear that we can be so close with each other no matter where we are. My action is to have more trust and faith both in myself and in God, to realise my own strengths and keep going for it. Every time I walk in or out of the door of my house (which is very often) I am repeating “I am doing this for God” and if I feel myself holding back in any way, my mantra is ‘JUST DO IT’.
My love to you all
Hello everyone, I just got out from our FIRST Freedom Walk Call for our Australian community (the “Seven Dwarfs” as Sara called us so endearingly)..!!!
Here’s what happened:
We started with a Kalindi talk (“Do you have a destiny?”) and we were asked to listen to where this talk speaks to us personally in regards to our own transformation within the Freedom Walk Path.
For me, I joined the Freedom Walk Path after the June 2018 seminar in Munich, because in all my lifelong spiritual searching, I found that this path and its teachings is the most advanced path I have encountered so far (except the Path to Ultimate Freedom, for which I’m not ready yet but working towards…).
I love the connection I have with God, my community here in Australia and of course the worldwide community. You are my people and my family, and my heart always flows over with joy, whenever I see your faces in the little screens during worldwide day events or the Thursday evening (our Friday morning) meditations.
Do I have a destiny? I really don’t know… But I think if anywhere, I can find my destiny within our Freedom Walk Path.
One part of the actions I committed to take from our call today was, to get more involved in the world community by getting familiar with this webpage, what it offers to me, and how I can participate by blogging (for example).
Hence, here I am, doing something actively against the illusion of feeling worthless, or that, what I want to share doesn’t really matter to anyone etc…
In hindsight, I can see my whole life (more precisely: all my lifetimes) unfolding towards more and more advanced spiritual practices, and I’m so grateful to have landed exactly here, hanging out with you and doing some SERIOUS work.
Again, our community is so important to me, as I have tried (and failed) numerous times, to do it all by myself.
I’m so glad, that we are all here for each other…
Greetings to all of you, lots of love
Nikola
Thank you to everyone who makes this website happen – what a great resource.
Here in Western Australia we have just had our very own Freedom Walk call! I have listened to the recordings of the Denver ones and get benefit from that but I felt so special and honoured to be able to share the wisdom of Tamara and Sara so closely and to feel closer to (in the vicinity of) our spiritual master.
For me, Freedom Walk works in so many ways to give me the extra support to nurture my connection to God and I feel lucky to have found it and be part of it.
Our call was inspiring, of course, and I have many actions and ideas for further work:
One is that I am going to re-read the handbook and find the wisdom that sits in there. I read it back in 2017 when I joined up but so much has changed since then so I know there will be whole new levels to access now.
I was encouraged that even the smallest effort gains me territory against the illusion.
Dealing with what’s right in front of you is as important as working on ‘the big stuff’ – it doesn’t matter where you apply the work.
This is SERIOUS work and the fact that I am showing up to do it demonstrates that I am serious so I shouldn’t judge my commitment.
Which leads to the reason behind posting this comment: we each committed to share with everyone what we plan to do as a daily action to further our movement along the path.
I am going to work on catching the moments of self-judgment while not judging myself for having those moments! I am going to just ‘notice what is happening’ and then choose instead to be grateful that I noticed – so apply gratitude and, if I can get there, find a moment of joy instead. And that joy can be just a little more opening to God – it doesn’t have to be full on ecstasy.
So thank you again and I send much love to all of you.

Hi Sophie! So fabulous to hear from you and all your mates in Australia. The pandemic has brought us even more together as a WORLDWIDE community. love, Kat
Hello everyone, I’m Daryl from The Australian community and we just had our first live FW call with Tamara and Sara and the FW community here. It was a super rich call and great to be together. My action is – I am working on judgements at the moment – seeing them, letting them go because I want so much to be with God. Prayer helps me turn away from the illusion and redirect my attention to God. I have noticed when I make a mistake, fear of punishment comes in. Then I recognised I was punishing myself through my self-judgement. I am letting this old pattern go. My chosen Fruit of the Holy Spirit is gentleness. Thank you so much to everyone for all you give. I am incredibly grateful for our path of transformation. Love to all.
These are the ways I am in action. Daily meditation has become essential. I feel off when I miss a day. I pick up my Humility journal to remind myself and then practice an act of Humility. I am serious about choosing to control my mind, senses and emotions. I listen to music while I fold the laundry. I remember gratitude. I am in my third month of focus on gentleness and I think it is time to switch to another fruit.
Dear friends who created and take care for this wonderful website:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the playlists to meditate with. Thank you for naming them with categories and time indication, – thank you for the great music they contain!
I find it very helpful!
all my love,
Teresa
I also love the new format of the playlists! Thank you.
Thank you Bruce for a wonderful, deep meditation tonight. My question was how can I be more of a YES and be more CALM in the storm? The answers were about taking care of myself, meditating and staying silent more. I really resonated with the line from one of the songs, “In this silence, I believe.” So I’m going to go to sleep in prayer tonight, meditate tomorrow morning and stay in silence unless I need to talk. Thank you Kalindi, Gourasana, The Lady for helping me find more love, compassion, joy, freedom, humility and TRUTH!
The follow up call: I felt sobered just getting ready for the call – reading Maureen’s email and following the preparation steps. I held it like I was getting ready to be with The Lady.
The call allowed me to put some words to what I had been feeling. People left the mission. I didn’t leave the mission, but I left Denver and many friends. I have been feeling re-stirred up about that. Feeling uncomfortable and missing everyone. The move was sudden on many levels and in mid-February when I left, I didn’t fully feel it because my plan was to return a short month later for the Retreat. I was going to say goodbye in March, so I didn’t say a proper goodbye in February. I have regrets about that and it is a big lesson in no time to waste and no assumptions and I don’t know what is going to happen.
On Thursday in meditation, Vince said the ego is NEVER satisfied. Self-doubts creep in. I have been feeling the truth of that. I loved the questions that Christine V shared – What is free will? What is destiny? What is deep inside and what is from the mind?
My move to a truly remote place in Washington state feels like a calling and “right” in my heart and soul. Is it my will or God’s will or both? I don’t know but I think it is both. And my ego mind cannot come up with the words to explain it. Sometimes that is the door to self-doubt. Not that. Not that.
My sister Deb has been a significant element in my time with The Lady. It was Deb’s first time with The Lady. I was preoccupied at times wondering how it was for Deb. She was fine. She is fine. We have had some rich conversations since. This is an opportunity for me to practice how to support someone and listen to someone and sit in the humility of knowing that her path is different than my path. Of course – how could it be any other way?
Thank you to The Lady, our leaders and all of us for the Follow up Call. I love and appreciate you all, Kat
Thank you, Kat! I miss you but I feel you in my heart! Love, CJ
For the next month, I’m going to focus on gentleness because my illusory self loves to be hard on me.
Dear All,
The day with the Lady was so tender, heart breaking and real and pure! I am experiencing so much internal movement, I can’t even speak of it or write about it, really. All I know, is I am transitioning from self control to gentleness–as my new Fruits of the Holy Spirit focus. I am so humbled and grateful to be on this path. I really don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have the GMP. And all this association–each and every one of YOU. Thank you.
Love, Taylore
Hello my Dear Friends,
It’s my first time on the new web and I wanted to thank all those who were involved and made this new step possible. It’s really beautiful! I imagine it’s been a lot of work, so thank you for your time and efforts.
As regards being with the Lady, all I can say is that I feel so blessed to be part of this Mission, guided by the most humble and pure being I’ve even seen on earth. I felt deeply touched by her sharing about the Core and all she has gone through, it broke my heart.
Now I can feel all the movement that comes after being in her presence, a lot has happened in the last weeks, and I’m finding so much trust as well as a deeper sense of calm and peace that comes when I surrender and let go of control and doing things my way.
Every day I wake up in gratitude for the abundance I have in my life, for having a Path where I can transform seriously, friends with whom I can share my heart, a Master by whom we are guided to the ultimate truth.
God bless you all.
I love you,
Jessi
Hello Everyone, Grace here. I was not able to be on the call on Saturday so it is very helpful for me to read your comments, your inspiration, your challenges. I was on a call last night with the VNP community and the same thing happened. I know it will help me to receive The Lady when the recording becomes available.
I am so grateful to be part of this Mission and to have so many friends around the world. Kalindi really wanted us all over the world and that is being fulfilled. I am grateful for the challenges which move me forward more than the easy times. And that we are all together as we grow and change….
Hi everyone! Since being with The Lady this past Saturday, I’m more committed than ever to this path. And, it feels like this brand new site gives me the opportunity to start fresh.
I’m so grateful for how The Lady exposed. I had had questions and had been confused about the participation of The Core. Having been raised in a religion where so many things were swept under the rug, her speaking the truth with strength, compassion, and a love that’s so different from the “love” we’re used to in this world, increased my faith so much. It was confirmation of the purity of this mission and what it looks like to stand unwavering in the truth however uncomfortable.
My heart broke for The Lady and what she’s been through. She shared herself so vulnerably, showing us all what it takes to let go, forgive, confront with love, determination, compassion. She also inspired me to see how I’m contributing. I could see my own illusion and the behaviors I need to “just give up”. I saw my laziness and where I’m not being consistent (not walking my talk). I saw where I cut myself some slack or pretend I have more work to do before I can stop the behavior so I don’t have to do my part. I saw how my awareness of the behavior is enough to stop it, give it up.
No more excuses. I need to show up for God and my freedom. Controlling my being and knowing that’s my stand against the illusion instead of victimizing myself, allowing unworthy thoughts to take me over, or “giving myself a break”.
I couldn’t stay for the entire call because I had to get back to my 8-year-old daughter who was so supportive and even made her own lunch so I could be with The Lady. And, I walked away hungry for more. I cannot wait to figure out whether the rest of the call is already on this new site, but in the meantime, recognizing I need all the guidance I can get, I’ve watched the quiz on the humility talk and have been listening to Gourasana and Kalindi daily, even if for only 15 minutes, as well as meditating and praying daily.
I will not give up. The Lady never gave up!
What an incredible opportunity we have to sit in front of a Master and receive the benefit of a transformation beyond words and beyond the mind.
I love you, all! Thank you for being here!
Sophie
Dear Sophie
Thank you very much for your sharing.
It touches my heart.
Love, Teresa
A post from Jet from PowerSchool about the Worldwide Day with The Lady:
After being with the Lady on Saturday, I am having the feeling of speechlessness. I am trusting that I am percolating inside my self all of the truths and help and love which she poured out for the 240 something precious, tender souls who showed up that day.
The deepest feeling I can describe is the 100% awareness that this place is not my home. There is another world where I reside fully in Him, with Him and held by Him. I pictured myself in a dream last night huge as a mountain, like the monsters I once dreamed about as a child. I had one foot on the earth and couldn’t see my other foot as I looked down, but I knew I was standing half way in a place not called Earth. It felt joyful, free and very quiet on that other side.
My quality is Self Control because self control is one of my four words for focus this year. Creativity, discipline, inspiration and self control. It’s a different quality of self control than I have expressed thus far in my life. It is not about push, lack, guilt, shame or obligation. It is first me connecting to the Lord Almighty, then breathing deeply and settling into my heart. I ask God for help in what I am trying to accomplish, and I trust. And I listen.
This has brought me to a different way of eating for the health of my body, to two on line yoga classes a week, debriefing my house and paperwork, weekly Zoom meditations with our fellowship, time outside in the sun hiking and resting in the grass, hiring a business coach, weekly calls with support friends around finance, weekly zoom calls with my family and son, a deeper relationship with my partner, and mostly a gentle, trusting and stronger certainty that He is in charge, Your will, Lord, not mine. I may not know where I am going, but I know where I came from.
I love all of you and am so grateful that He heard our pleas, we felt His pull, and we came to this mission. We are so lucky to have been in the vicinity of a Master and to have found this mission. So, so blessed. I am beyond grateful for my brothers and sisters here and for our Lady, Kalindi and Gourasana, and David. Sweet David, my salvation lies in your love. Thank you.
A post from Denise S from PowerSchool about the Worldwide Day with The Lady:
Dear friends,
Being with the Lady is difficult to put into words. It has so many aspects, changing feelings, …I find the truths she is speaking heavy, shaking and surprisingly they bring love, gratitude and a clear inner spaciousness in me. I’m more outspoken, taking time to answer mails of friends, wanting to know what they meant and felt,…sharing..
My focus on faithfulness which I take at the moment as being true to myself was/is challenged by questions of what is it that I know to be true: perceptions? feelings?,…what are THE or my criteria, THE or my orientation points? And what if my spouse, closest friend “feels” totally opposite. What is true? There were moments I felt intensly confused.
Talking later to friends exposing the topic gave me relief. I don’t need to solve it only inside of me and with myself, which is where illusion as hiding is working.
I hope my sharing makes sense. Love to you all
So good to have friends on the way, which I don’t even know personally, but nevertheless friends to write to and clear my mind by writing.
Thank you, love Denise
Denise,
I love the statement, “clear inner spaciousness”! That is what I’m feeling too!!
Love,
CJ
A post from Ryan from PowerSchool about the Worldwide Day with The Lady:
Hello FW’ers!
Being with The Lady is the most special happening!! She gave so much to us. I’m going to be patient as I let this event sink in more. My heart is bursting to connect with you all.
How was it for you?
Personally I feel the intensity and seriousness of this path and this moment. More Desire, more humility, more love. Please Lord, continue to pry my fingers loose from this world. I loved how She spoke of brining more and more illumination into the darkness. And how important this is to become free. I feel the truth in that, and I am grateful to drop deeper into this tremendous path we are walking. I feel so much more inside, but don’t really know how to express it right now as I am still wiped out from yesterday. Soon though
My fruit this month is humility. What’s yours?
And that in the end it’s about Love????!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!! Love that
A post from CJ from PowerSchool about the Worldwide Day with The Lady:
My Heart is Full!
Yesterday was so fulfilling with The Lady! I woke up with so much gratitude for finding this work and to be with a living Master. Thank you everyone who helped make this profound day happen. My determination, joy and awareness have all increased because of it.
Just wanted to leave a message that I am all signed in to this new site. I used to procrastinate things like this – anything that was new or different – change. I also have been debriefing alot on my computer and had it updated with the newest operating systems – so lots of change on my computer. I am embracing change everywhere! Jumping in. Being in ACTION!!
That’s great Linda! Thank you for posting! I hope you like the look and feel of the new site and it serves you well. Let me know if you see anything that needs improvement.
Much love to you Linda,
Donna
