Deep inside each human being there’s a void that longs to be stuffed. One thing is lacking; and we’ve got a profound eager for it. It’s been there since we have been born, an aching want that by no means appears to go away. And we don’t know what that one thing is. We glance all over the place, in search of satisfaction, however quickly discover that materials issues don’t fulfill. Nothing lasts. Nor does energy, standing, or achievement. We lengthy for love and ultimately, peace. However, residing as we do in a time/area continuum, we can’t maintain onto even that. The whole lot passes. Early man was identical to us. Trying up on the starry sky, he too noticed the motion of the celebs, the seasons passing, our our bodies rising previous. And the previous acquainted heartache erupted right into a coronary heart wrenching cry for one thing that by no means modifications, one thing past himself, one thing ‘different’. It was a Copernican second earlier than its time.

That was when God got here into it, God, the final word ‘different’. Allow us to put ourselves into the place of our ancestors. Trying upwards, watching the celebs, our brains fell silent, awed by the immensity of the evening sky. Silent brains open their doorways to the ideas, feelings and concepts that float in from heaven is aware of the place and, being human, we share these ideas and emotions with each other. After which the ‘different’ turns into God and a complete faith is born to fill the void inside.

So many religions on our planet, very completely different from each other, however all centred on the final word different. The collective consciousness of all humanity stays, however there are additionally nationwide and cultural collectives. If we’re Hindu, we see the one ‘different’, the one God, in varied types. There’s one solar however its mild via a stained-glass window, we see it in all of the completely different colors of its spectrum, a lot because the one God is seen in its completely different elements by Hindus. However being human, we’ve got formalised our religions and folks have change into depending on the components, with out essentially making the desired-for contact with the ‘different’ and letting that different fill that crying void. Spirituality gave option to institutional obedience. And rationalism performed its half. Not solely did it result in atheism, nevertheless it additionally led to suspicion of spirituality and a consequent dumbing down and even concern of mystical expertise. And it wasn’t sufficient. The void cried out for extra. And within the west, a time got here when younger seekers sought one other approach. 

All of it occurred within the final century. Starting within the sixties, it took off within the seventies. It was a time of nice optimism, of hope and idealism. A person had stood on the moon. There was a passionate religion within the innate goodness of man, and a perception in a way forward for peaceable co-existence, primarily based on common love. ‘All you want is love’ was the mantra of the day. Vatican II was born of this time; so was Greenpeace, the CND, the European Union and the Worldwide Fund for Nature. The younger and the not so younger have been prepared to present themselves complete heartedly for his or her beliefs, whereas a renewed ardour within the seek for reality and the that means of life produced a burgeoning curiosity within the religions and philosophies of the broader world. The London exhibition, Thoughts Physique and Spirit energised a wave of recent non secular actions. And nobody questioned whether or not they have been good or dangerous. Rationalism had had its approach. Evil and the satan had change into outmoded, alien ideas. Now every thing was good. However the Pink Brigade was additionally born of this time and at present, residing the legacy, we all know in another way. We could have misplaced our naivety, however with it, a lot of our idealism. Now we have change into cynical. However then, in these passionate days, we have been able to consider. And so, I, amongst many hundreds of others set out on the yellow brick street of my era, in search of yoga, i.e., Union with the One we sought, the final word different, absolutely the, the everlasting by no means altering God.

Seekers should not silly.  They’re typically very clever and proficient folks. And fairly often they’re spiritually delicate. Their chosen path is difficult. It entails sacrifice. You should be prepared to surrender every thing for God’s sake. Complete devotion is important, however what to? You additionally want discernment as a result of those that would lead us astray aren’t silly both. They know what seekers are searching for and what lengths they are going to go to achieve it. We live ultimately instances when as Jesus warned us, we should always: ‘Watch out for false prophets who come to you disguised as sheep, however beneath are ravenous wolves. It is possible for you to to inform them by their fruits’ (Matt. 7. 15.) and in  ‘Take care to not be deceived, as a result of many will come utilizing my identify and saying, ‘I’m the one’ and ‘the time is close to at hand. Refuse to hitch them.’ Luke (21.8) ‘And if anybody says to you then, ‘Look, right here is the Christ…’Don’t consider it; for false Christ’s and false prophets will come up and produce indicators and portents to deceive the elect; if that have been attainable.’ You subsequently should be in your guard. I’ve given you full warning.’ (Mark 13, 21-23) And the extra delicate the seekers the extra weak they’re to magic. Just like the satan, magic too exists. And it’ll invade your life until your contact with God may be very sturdy certainly. As a result of God IS. (I AM, being the identify of God as given to Moses.) Like us, the satan solely exists. But when we’re on the trail to God, then we have gotten – one thing the satan can by no means be. 

Like many, I used to be led astray. And I knew that I used to be on a harmful course. However having gone to date, I couldn’t return. If I had solely recognized what I got here to know later, the outrageous cruelties and injustices the guru of Sahaja Yoga, Mataji inflicted on her followers, I may need discovered the power to tug out sooner. However I noticed solely what Mataji needed me to see. Magic has its personal logic, and my delicate nature was extra in a position to observe it than most. I noticed the indicators, telling me that I used to be on a coherent non secular path. However Mataji was laying a false path. I used to be hoodwinked. Mataji was not on the aspect of the angels, engaged in a non secular battle in opposition to the satan and I used to be not on target for eventual union with God. It was phantasm. This was a sect, a parody of the heavenly courts. And the hundreds wearing white waving palms, weren’t waving them at God, however on the enemy. With out realising it, I had slipped to the incorrect aspect of the mirror.

Getting out of a sect is difficult. You want braveness and help to make the leap via the mirror – from phantasm into actuality. The worst factor for me was understanding that I had knelt on the toes of the enemy of the God I sought. However that God got here to assist me. Mary, Mom of God rescued me and slowly drew me to her Son. The story is advised in God, the Satan and Me, the guide I used to be at all times meant to write down.
