Hope to see some of you for meditation tonite (Sunday) at 9 eastern 10 central.

I will be meditating too and will include you in my prayers after the practice.

Kind regards

Ditto

I always felt a bit peculiar to say we are meditating together. As if to clear any confusion I might be feeling, Gurunath has answered in the last video I shared. The truth is we are practicing together but what we are practicing is concentration. I hold you in that sacred space after the practice, while the mind is settled and in a clearer state. Considering we will have to part with these thoughts through physical death it is wise to try and go beyond thought now whilst we have a say.

Will be ‘practicing’ tonite again at 9:00 eastern.

The moment you are calm in meditation, the top of your head opens and millions of light energy units come down to harmonize the body. Brother Turiyananda

Hope to connect with som of you again tonite (Sunday) for meditation

hello steve, i did ask for healing in our relationship with tonights prayer and meditation. my practices are brief as of late, i still try. the restless activity has rooted its way into the mind, having a dependency on caffeine and entertainment- i can see why. still, i am happy to counter it with these moments of reprieve- albeit shorter than what i'm used to. i will get back to deeper stillness... just posting to say, i thought about you... i start earlier than you with a small group of 4 at 7:30PM central... though we don't always make it at the designated time, so we send our intentions to what one of the ladies has coined "no-time." the no-time is accessible for all of us at any time of the day, because who is to say god is only bound to time/space and linear time? with that in mind i am happy to include you in our sessions.

namaste young bro

i greeted you tonight, and am feeling saturated with lovely and gentle feelings. our group may have met in the astral.

expanding, comforting love.

good night bro.

Your friendship and continued support here never seizes to amaze me. I practiced with a band this weekend so I see I have some reading to do; thanks. Think I should always remember to be grateful for friends. How many stick around and support us thru the years? Thanks Brother... I will remember that one while meditating on Sundays about greeting one another. My friend Tom and I had some challenges getting stuck in the sand on a one lane dirt road thru the Manistee Forest 🌳 late today. This life is full of duality at every turn! It’s best to be prepared if we can anticipate what the dangers are ahead! Seems you can never be too careful. How do we keep gentle thoughts towards everyone that comes into our life? Wow what an idea to ponder! At any moment we can alienate others with our reckless words!

P.S. please remember you are always welcome to visit, meditate, camp, swim, hike and see saints here in Michigan!

Could be days past
Not meant to last
But on the road ahead
Meditate with friends
Till the end

Pull them along
As we ourselves
Had to reach
For the raft
In so many days past

Look beyond
This world goes on
This drama play
Here today
Then gone away

But we bring this world
A comforting word
Never underestimate
The power gained
In spiritual shape

Sit tonight
With me in prayer
Try to feel
Your presence there.

Meditate
The hour of destiny
looks upon us
As out we reach
To find a place
Where are souls meet

Rite behind closed eyes
Lies the region
Beyond our minds
Confining place
That leads us on
Thru time and space

(Join us tonite at 8 pm eastern standard time.)

The hour of destiny looms upon us.

Tonight our group over at the 1111 forum is collectively sending pink energy to the head of the forums family G. G is most likely transitioning into the departure from his physical body. Calm, gentle and loving energy is the focus. If you could join us Steve, by Will, your intentions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Steve, this is more eventful than sitting and reading the news feed of the day. I really appreciate your generosity.

Thinking of you while praying tonite. 2 am England time.

It’s Sunday nite hope to feel some of your spirits presence tonite at 9 eastern.

just coming out of meditation.
deep, still experience. i have resistance with wanting to come back. still, i have desires moving me forward. tonights meditation was in the cold clear night under a beautiful moon. i found my self with a strong desire simply to be present, with god. ideas crept forward and i learned i am tired of idea's, and a reaching mind. i tried to abandon them. the breath became a beautiful experience. the busy street noises did not bother me. still, i wanted to go deeper. i want to turn the light inward and communicate with the self, free of fear. i realize the deeper we go, the more disconnected from the physical awareness we become, the closer 'things' feel to us. this might be why i feel vulnerable and scared at night, but it is the mind churning the imagination and creating a fearful experience. it was the desire tonight, to do without this always churning mind. only 30 minutes in before i was brought back by a sore tail bone, and a feeling like i wanted to come here and share. i guess the desire to connect is not so deep. still so many layers to work through. the gentle demeanor is the result of a still mind, highlighting a heavy slower sensation and appreciation for breathing.

We may not always immediately know why we are drawn inexplicably to another activity. It can be because of restlessness as is the case if it is reoccurring and is an excuse for a lack of discipline. But other times it is good to remain flexible and open to the inspiration of the moment. It may in fact have quite a bit of significance to someone else in the process and/ or bring further revelations to understand  the spontaneity that inspired it.

I’ve often heard people very adept at meditation speak of remaining in a state of peace as long as you can or experiencing the after affects of meditation as long as possible. At these times we should never underestimate our ability to be a channel for inspiration to others or having personal insights.

I know that feeling when you are more in tune with the breath and drawn to it in focus. It is inspirational if only for a short time. You’re more conscious of it than usual and your focus is there feeling the cool air going up your nostrils and the warm air leaving them. Even counting the breath inwardly making it deeper and slower. Pausing in between breaths feeling the inner calm. There is kind of a ahhh sound breathing in and eee sound breathing out. You’re aware of the sound of the breath and the feeling of the cool awareness. And the sound of molecules of air waves hitting your ear drums in the quietness of inner peace. Often waking up is one of the best times if you’re sleepy at nite because your mind is not yet too overwhelmed by thoughts if dreams were not in abundance the previous nite.... You’re less likely to fall asleep in meditation because you just had a restful sleep.

I think the joy of this state is recognizing that being so present with such minimal thought is akin to being close to God- existing outside our (ideas) selves, often referred to Gurunath as "no mind" And is THE REALITY so many of us crave, at one point or another

Thanks for your contributions Eric. Let’s meditate remembering one another at 7:00 your time.

Please join us again tonite for an hour of prayer and meditation at; 7 am India time. (Monday Mornings)

hey steve!
i did a walking meditation sunday morning and felt my group around 7PM in the evening, made me think you were there meditating.

thanks brother for keeping the still vibrations for us!!

kind regards~

Hope all remember we still try to get together and meditate at 9 eastern till 10 pm

It’s 1:15 here … I’m on eastern standard time. That means it’s 7:15 pm in Italy. It’s 6:15 in London. We will meditate tonight at 9 PM eastern. 3 am Italy time 2 am London time. For those who can make it… I often wake in the middle of the nite and meditate.

Tonight 9 eastern 8 central 7 mountain and 6 pacific… our encounter with destiny as we meditate together!

If you are not that familiar with meditation put on some light new age or classical music to relax to for an hour while watching your breath and bringing your mind back to the breath when it wanders.

Lets pray and meditate tonite at 9 eastern. Thinking of all you folks that visit us.

I had a nice meditation in the no-time yesterday. The no-time is a way to meditate with the group if you aren't able to make the agreed upon time.

With that being said, Steve Kim has been feeling your presence a lot in her meditations lately. I will request the info she pulled on us and share it here if you'd like.

Really thanks Eric! Tell her if she will come to our site I will reciprocate and go where she requests.

Hi Steve,

I don't enjoy being a middle man but I delivered the message. She is a member of the 1111 message board, and you are welcome to engage in further contact your self. Rest assured, I've brought her attention likewise to the spiritual portal.

Here is her message, as I've asked her what card she pulled for you:

Thanks Eric

I am not allowed to send personal messages at that site. As a result I sent one on their site and await a response.

Jitendra

As usual we will have a meditation practice this Sunday nite at a ( 9 Eastern U.S. 8 Central etc.) time that is a bit more personal in the sense that we may consider the meditaion of those on the site meditating as well and our connection with them.

Jitendra

Hope some of you can meditate together at 9!eastern. I sincerely think of all others that contribute here!

Had an unusually inspired meditation!

Fantastic!

Let’s meditate and think/pray for one another tonite at; 8 central time.

Tonight all of us can meditate deeply and then pray for the light of insight and understanding to spread on us all.

I was meditating, and despite having eaten dinner, found I was getting hungry by the end of the practice.  :o
 ;D I realize I like buttered rice.

Oh no... drink a smoothie with fresh fruit a half hour before meditation to keep your mind off food. Give the dog a bone to keep it quiet.

I really look forward to Sunday night at 9 eastern because I have moments here-that extend longer than usual- with others in group meditation.

Eric tonight during our meditation I saw us walking together in another land. Not this one. But a place where we did not have such divisions as here. We were free of the ideological differences that divide others here on earth. We were happy 😊 once again in each other’s presence because the differences of those around us was not there to destroy our peace and divine friendship. It was a feeling of lightness we recognized together that we were no longer weighed down by the oppression of the opinions  and actions of others. I believe that when we sometimes talk on the phone we experience that space together. We recognize that timelessness and that is why we rarely have differences at those times. Quite possibly it was a prophetic experience. I have also had such an experience with others after they passed away. The battles and challenges in this material life were dissolved because of the higher realm of connection that the astral realm can give.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for sharing, the grasshopper made me think about your message here- as well as the opportunity before us. Yes we are quite humble on the phone and I am sure we'd be more respectful of each other in person than how we've allowed ourselves to behave on the internet.

I'd like to discuss more about, division.

Divisions are okay. It's only when we try to force our way of being unto others that I find disturbance. For instance, my coworkers Uncle believes the Earth is flat. No joke. It's not something you want to share with people. Yet he is an intelligent man(successful in life) and the love they share is quite real. She allows him his opinion, and he hers. There is no oppression there. I'm learning when we take things personal over matters of opinion, it might mean we were hoping others would align with our views. It is also quite difficult to endure someone who would want to convince you of their views- I'm embarrassingly referring to my self. Many times I find a little "something" to validate my views then share to say, "Look! See!"

We share the things that interest us, and we sometimes hope others agree with the content. We are aligned with a lot of "information" that is fed to us through third party-mediums. There is something to be said for addiction and need for entertainment as cautioned by Swami V. I've recently posted a picture in the "Social Media" thread of various stages of the brain- a healthy one vs. one on heroin or even pornography. Lately I am able to take a step back(not without challenge) as I have to reassert my understanding that sometimes there is no convincing people- such is the case with my coworkers Uncle. So I have been given yet another opportunity- to learn how to navigate through these stark differences.

If we feel inclined to rebuttal the other, it is unknowingly out of Love- and therefore, not the prettiest response when offense is taken. Though, is it love for self or love for other? Hmm..
We are all going to be effected by this mini-era. I'd like to remind us that Swami V. said there is no escaping this karmic movement- specifically that RIGHT NOW, at this time, no one will be able to idly sit by or hope to watch from the sidelines. We've all taken a stance, whether we realize it or not, and now we have to move through this mini-era together.

So, thank you for sharing. We can do this and we should remind one another to look at our selves whenever we find conflict because it is only our self that can find peaceful resolution no matter the circumstance. 

Thanks for the reply Eric. My thought is that even on a small scale we can meditate together weekly for an hour and transcend the chaos of the mind that is the outward force keeping us here in physical form life after life. It is also the attachment to our ideas that brings us to physical form to encounter those with different ideas. Interestingly enough; if we at any time rise above our personal perspective and our personal ideas everything will be as it is supposed to be ... peaceful and blissful. Let us get together again tonight for meditation!

Jitendra

Here's to our continued efforts to free ourselves from the grips of a reaching mind.

When my body is malnourished, or when my mind thinks it needs sustenance, then my mind desperately reaches out and tries to satisfy any craving habitually defined as relaxing or comforting. Unfortunately those definitions are paired with most unsettling activity, that does not stop the mind from seeking fulfillment. By way of indulgence and mutation, perversions are accepted as a satisfactory means for relief.

I hope meditation can free me from my self created shackles. So I may finally transcend the life times of karma I continually gravitate towards.

Om~Om~Aummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
<3 See you in 3 minutes Brother.

We are going to meditate tonight together at 6 pm pacific 8 central. You can use some music here at the portal if you need some outward relaxing guidance to take your thoughts away from distracting thoughts of satisfying sensory thought forms.

Often I go to the creative corner here at the portal and zero into for instance; the Native American section under ‘child boards’ and pick out a link to accompany my meditation.

Eric I continue reading some of your old posts. I have  some of the same experiences you mentioned in the last post. I just remember what Paramahansa Yogananda said once and I will relate the story again when I find it. But for now just want to remind you he told us to ‘ go ahead with those cravings but continue your meditation and slowly the mind and soul will want more subtle and spiritual experiences.’ So we think of each other more every Sunday because we meditate together tonite at 9 eastern and 8 central. Hope that continues to bring us together dear friends.

Who ever this reaches… if you can meditate with us between 8-9 central time we would appreciate your participation.

Well it’s that time again folks on the caravan. We will be meditating and praying together about an hour from now at 9 eastern till 10 then you will pick your ride on another bus to your destination. Thanks for using the Portal for travel.

It's 10PM central... I am moving through heart palpitations. Per usual. But I lay under the moon tonight. It was quite surreal, maybe the clouds were playing with my vision. The line that halves the moon and creates shadow was wavering ever so slightly, up and down.

Well I will meditate just a wee bit more before bed, and am sending loving thoughts.

Kind regards.

I do not know of your state of health accept what I can glean out of such inferences above. I always pray for your happiness as well as other members that support our role in encouraging meditation, in this as yet dark period in world history. In the early initiative of the Dwapara, or otherwise known as Bronze Age of our planet’s history it is important to sew seeds of meditation into our cultures, which we do with diligence, and with the Masters’ help.

Meditation again tonight 9am eastern and 3am in Italy. (Central European summer time.)

I got to meditate on the beach with LaurenLoo.We had two very comfortable foldable chairs parked right infront of the ocean. The sounds of the waves, the cool breeze and the lunar eclipse were so magical. We had blankets and just before silencing our minds and entering into prayer I had so much joy and excitement. I'm still fairly energized. Wish I could have stayed out there all night meditating. The stars were easy to behold with little light pollution. Near the end of our meditation we saw a shooting star. The gentle tide stopped just infront of our feet. My thoughts at one point were with Gurunath. As if he was there guiding us in meditation. Then I thought about you Steve. We are able to move through the motions. I thought about others and started feeling so much love and felt so much magic in the vast ocean before me and the sky above me. I started feeling it in my spine and felt healed on some level. God is great. There was a lot of magic in simply being in nature. There were no mosquitos and no critters to crawl on me. The temperature was perfect. It was ideal meditating scenery.
Namaste from Galveston TX.
My camera is broken but tomorrow I'll see if any of the photos managed to come through.

Thanks …. I went back at her posts to review. Let her know we miss her presence here Eric. I’m happy for you … that you have found someone else to meditate with and it does make a difference in our meditations.

Where two or more are gathered together in my name. There I shall be also.~ New Testament

I have thought about you last nite as well and have pondered the importance of our long lasting relationship. Also putting it in relief in the test of time with other friends who have come and gone.

I never pray that you should change or that you should be like me or should understand me but rather usually the most;  that you find your happiness in life. Happiness grows with time and effort.

Happiness is a choice ~ Amma

Please join us tonight for meditation at nine eastern standard time.

I'm sorry that I cannot join in these times. My present dharma is revolving around the recovery of my son (although he will never recover from his autistic condition).
I am sure that to neglect this dharma/krama would be worse than neglecting meditation.

The ideal would be to do both, but my energies alas are not the same as 20 years ago.

I am hoping that you and your son will be able to see Amma if and when she goes on another tour of Europe. Having seen her many times I have seen all kinds of people with different challenges come to her retreats. These people all seem to recognize that we all have souls and Amma brings this recognition to everyone present. She represents karma yoga so much more than Yogananda did… her emphasis has always been on service mccoy. In her compassion she recognizes that there is still the largest percentage of the population that have yet to assimilate meditation into their lives. She does have a meditation technique called IAm but it is much less demanding than Kriya Yoga. There are also a couple versions of it, one shorter than the other. I practice the longer version which still is done in less than one half hour.

She always leads every one in a guided meditation before speaking. Besides Bhaktananda I had never felt I was in the presence of a living Master till I met her. Being the embodiment of Divine Mother she is much more demonstrative than for instance Brother Bhaktananda who I believe hid much of his divinity behind the veneer of supporting the Kriya routine and Paramahansa Yogananda’s mission on earth. However when it came to saying what were his convictions even Mother Center did not seem to dissuade him otherwise.

It was quite interesting the unusual things he would suddenly say in a sermon. They appeared to be unrelated to the subject. Yet they answered very important points that people needed to hear. And I would hear that he would for instance would say something about aliens and was asked to not repeat such things in sermons but a month latter he would again say the same thing. He was a bit of a maverick in that sense. Being directed by an inner source rather than the the concern of what other people may think.

Looking forward to being with everyone here in 8 minutes to meditate an hour!

Though I was unable to join last night, I am there now- in what a group and I have called the "no-time." It is in the no-time we connect with others while ourselves feeling centered by AUM.

Anyone wanting to meditate and pray with us: we again will practice tonite at 9 PM eastern standard time.

For those of us interested in tuning into the vibes of other members and raising our consciousness together we will have a meditation tonight at 6 pm western standard time and 9 eastern.
