Barriers to ‘I’ Awareness

There are many people in our lives – some we are friends with and some we do not treat as friends. The Master is all Love, pure love. How, then, do we love those who have hurt us, who have put us down, who have harmed us in any way? Love is everything. Our mission has begun, our Mission is Love. How, then, do we love everyone? We are told, Love All – Serve All. Read what the Master gives in meditation.


I wake up and direct my thoughts towards You. Soon I feel the barriers of ‘I’ awareness fading away into nothingness. This specific self-importance, sense of being somebody goes. I can clearly see the barriers damming the inflow of your pure and fresh love. It appears immediately after they crumble. What to say—I am so happy
with your happiness. All hitherto difficult problems have been solved all by themselves. Or rather it is You who solves them. Thank you for this, my beloved Baba.

Years ago in India, You told me to practice opening to people. During meditation I was to be telling them that I love them, and opening myself up people I was to be receiving the same from them. During the meditation I felt barriers of ego disappearing. It was not only when I was telling someone that I loved him but also while imagining others standing in front of me and saying these three wonderful words.

I noticed how scared my mind was earlier, how it was creating lots of questions and doubts like, ‘What do they want from me?’, ‘What is hidden behind their behaviour?’. I was observing my fears flowing out and finally I started laughing at myself. When at last the play of mind disappeared, the feeling of defencelessness descended on me, I felt as if I stood naked amidst the masses.

Could You, Master, comment on this practice today, please?


Yes. It is a very good exercise. It helps to free from many barriers obstructing the natural flow of love. You acquired these barriers in your current and previous lives. When somebody hurts you or fails to fulfil your expectations and hopes, then you withdraw into yourselves and build walls around you. It is an act of self-defence. However, this brings about consequences in the form of suppressing yourselves, of withholding the goodness that you have inside. The conclusion is that from time to time it is worthwhile to cleanse these kinds of blockage of energies from yourselves. Ask the inner Master to lead you safely through this process. Make sure the inner balance is in it.


Balance?


Yes. This is a sort of state of mind – calmness, joy. Does it remind you of anything?


Yes Master, I love your jokes.


When you somewhat calm your mind, ask Divinity to accompany you during meditation, to be with you and direct you. Next, imagine your friends, kith and kin, and later also strangers, approach you one by one. Say ‘I love you’ to everyone and let each of them answer ‘I love you’. Remain in calmness and love. Allow yourselves to accept that what you hear is the truth and without any implied meanings, without any concealed intentions.


The next step is to imagine that Divinity stands in front of you. You say ‘I love You’ and you hear Divinity say the same back. And believe that this is true, pure truth of all truths.


We end the exercise with a few minutes of calm meditation, without a thought about what had happened. Remain in peace and with love.


This meditation brings a lot of blessings. Practice it often.


Another kind of meditation consists in imagining that every person you meet, familiar or not, is an angel, truly goodness and love. Try it, and you will see how quickly your attitude towards others will change. Keep on smiling and speaking nice to everyone. Notice only positive qualities in them. But do not initiate them into our secrets. Enjoy the blessings that contact with love and goodness brings and integrate them into daily life. This is most important for you all. Love is everywhere. Love is Everything. Life is Lightness.


Practice frequently.


I sat in meditation for a moment and started visualizing the people who surrounded me as angels. I could not let go this chance to learn something valuable. It was a wonderful exercise. Soon willingness to help people, to cooperate, to smile, and many other nice, very nice feelings arose within me. In short, sorrows disappear, joy comes.


After a while a clear picture came up—a can opener in the form of a key. In the past, there were cans with sardines which were sold along with such a metal key attached.
Master, what does it mean?


It is simple… Smile. Smile, dear reader. Being interested in the subject matter is good, but your joy is even better. Stop reading for a while and smile to Me. I am. I am Love. I wave at you from behind the veil of Heaven every day. Do smile.


The fish is a symbol of egoistic qualities. You carry them inside yourselves tightly wrapped up in other energies. It is like a can. The meditation you described cleanses such states. It is like a key to the cans. Understand?


Thank you, Master, for such a perfect explanation. Thank you, Baba. How could I express my gratitude to You for Your goodness? I would really like to.


All right. Keep saying that you love Me and listen to what I say to you. I like it so much when people pronounce this wonderful word.


What flows from my heart towards You makes for many words. Despite barriers, please, my dear Master, accept my modest, as it is, love for You.
