Topic: Your Baba, Then and Now, Part 2

Dear folks of Baba,

As I mentioned in the last email, I thought to have a second session on the topic we just had: how our life with Baba was in the early years and where we find ourselves today. Only a few of you had the opportunity to share, and I find it so interesting how Baba has worked in us over the years to bring us to where we are now. In thinking about my own life, I find that so many different themes have emerged, so many aspects to my relationship with Baba that have unfolded over the years, and just one of them could easily make for a substantial check-in. Several examples of these aspects you might consider: your inner relationship with Baba, how you remember Him during the day, your efforts in bringing Him into your work, your struggles with overcoming weaknesses, how your relationship with others has changed, the evolution of your self-esteem and self-compassion, the increasing gratefulness over the years, the development of your intuition and receptivity to grace. There so many aspects to how Baba has entered our lives. In our session two weeks ago, I found it very touching and engaging to hear how beautifully some of you shared the evolution of your relationship with Baba from the early days up to the present. I find it so helpful in my own life to hear how others experience Baba.

I realize that this sharing may be very personal and intimate, and yet hearing from each other can really expand and deepen our view of who Baba is. As I’ve written before, when Eruch was asked how we could keep Baba from becoming a religion, he said, “If His lovers would get together in small groups and share their mystical experiences, it could be averted.” He said that in 1970, and I think that today he would have used the term, sharing “our inner experiences of Baba.” How can you make a religion out of so many uniquely different approaches to Baba! Kitty Davy was once asked by a reporter from the Charlotte Observer, “Is Baba a cult?” In her proper and rapid British accent, she replied, “Oh no, no, no. You could never get two Baba lovers to agree on anything!"

In His love, Jeff
