A Lesson from the Spirit

I saw Babaji; he made a mudra — a prayer at the brow. A rhombus-shaped crystal lit up in his forehead. I repeated that mudra and felt light in the area of my brow — a very powerful stream. It was like the opening of a portal, as if a tunnel formed from rings of light. I flew through that tunnel and saw fragments, scenes of some worlds, and then I found myself in a white room. In the left far corner was a tree stump; it stood out against the white walls — with bark and green moss. It looked like a piece from another world — an earthly piece — while everything here was unearthly, all beautiful, divine.

Then I found myself in a long white hall. And along the edges of that hall the same stumps were placed. And I walked down the very center.

"Why did I see a stump among the white walls, what is it?"
"This is the place you have allotted yourself. The place you allot yourselves.
Those stumps along the walls are the place you allot yourselves, the place of the observer. Instead of boldly and confidently walking down the center of the hall, moving forward in full trust, you have allotted yourselves a place by the wall — you sit and watch.

You have allotted yourselves this earthly place. You cling to it and observe, afraid to take a step, afraid to leave this post. To take a step and walk with a steady stride down the center of the hall, to cross it, to simply let go and trust yourself. Even when you approach the spiritual, you bring with you a piece of the material world — this connection that drags you down, that keeps you sitting and watching by the wall. Instead of walking down the center of the hall with complete confidence and trust in yourself, with complete trust in that Divine Spirit that guides you. Release that place, take a step, simply go out into the center of the hall, turn and walk forward without looking back.
As you walk forward with confidence, all the others sitting in those places will rise and follow you. Much depends on your decisiveness, much depends on your feeling, on your openness to your inner Divine light, on your trust in yourself and in the spirit that guides you.
So be it."
