I was writing this resonse to a post on F7 by admin "We are working on it , plus, O - mi - Gaud" when the whole board froze and I could not write any more text.
So I'll do it here.....
Admin quoted a post from a Kathy Carlin on EKL - I have reproduced part of it below in sections in italic with commentary ;
"I just feel I still have a lot of growing to do and Maharaji has been so patient and kind with me and I know that he never gives up on me and has given me so much grace in my life. He has faith in me when I have lost faith in myself. He loves me when I cannot love myself. He listens to me when no one else does. He dries every tear and gives me the strength and inspiration to continue on this journey.""
Well that is a classic case of 'imaginary friend' if ever I saw one. It is very confronting to think that I too helped create and sustain my own imaginary friend for over 25 years. With considerable help and support I managed to project the most amazing qualities and powers onto this fantasy figure.
" I could never express how much Maharaji and Knowledge mean to me, or how much they have changed me on the inside. ""
Because if you had ever tried to conceptualise this (which of course would have been against the rules anyway) you would have realised it was all fluff which is, after all, hard to put into coherant sentences.
"I know he understands that I have a hard time with the stresses of daily life and that I lose hope too easily." "
Your imaginary friend understands you completely - he's right inside your head.
"I always think why does he put up with me? Why does he continue to allow me to experience this gift because I feel so undeserving?" "
He puts up with you because he only lives inside your head and has no choice.
"And in my heart I feel the incredible love and compassion that he has for me - so gentle - so kind. ""
Yes honey, the love you feel is all yours - it always was - and it's still there long after the apparition fades if you would only allow it the room.
"I want to realize Knowledge more than anything.""
The more than anything bit is going to cost you dear - more than you can ever afford.
If only you knew, you realised it all in the first few minutes. The rest of the time was failing to realise what it wasn't.
"I want to feel what he feels, understand what he understands. "
That's easy. Your imaginary friend is everything you ever wanted him to be.
"Whatever there is between us I want it taken all away that is my prayer – that is my greatest desire."
There's nothing between you and this fantasy that you have.
Of course if there was nothing between you in real life, Maharaji would be horrified - he'd be out of there so quick. Unless of course, you were a gorgeous blonde then he would dally a while and then he'd be out of there so quick
"I know that I am home, but I want to completely know that I am home.""
Is there anybody home?
