NOTE: At the end of this article there is a text excerpt from a talk
given by Tat Wale Baba.

I told you I would tell
you about the day I was God-smacked.
Yeah, like I wrote in
previous articles, I sure wasn't looking for “it” when “it”
happened.
In fact, I was heading in
the opposite direction. I think God had had enough of my bleeping
around, and decided enough was enough...and let's get this party
started.
I'd had one experience
prior to the one I am about to tell you about...of what I consider to
be conscious and genuine telepathic communication from...where? What?
In and around February,
1983, one evening I was standing on the fire lane at the Ideal
Village Coop in Orleans, Ontario. It was winter. And I was outside.
I
was seriously thinking about doing something I hadn't done in about
ten years, and it was a big decision for me, at the time.
I'd been meditating
regularly for about ten years. And I was an Executive Governor of the
Age of Enlightenment. So...a teacher of Transcendental Meditation and
the Science of Creative Intelligence.
I
was 27 years old.
I had two kids, and was
married.
And I was thinking about
smoking some cannabis. A guy I knew through work had some first class
weed, and he'd offered me some for free (he grew it himself),
and I was sorely tempted to try some.
So...what happened
was...I am standing in the fire lane, and it's evening...and as I am
contemplating smoking some dope...into my consciousness comes
this...presence.
And I immediately
recognize this presence as Swami Brahmananda Saraswati...the
teacher of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Only
thing was, Maharishi's teacher had been dead since 1953.
Think what you want, to
me it was so clear...that it was him speaking directly into my mind,
into my thoughts. It was so obvious, so distinct...from anything I'd
ever experienced before in my life.
I want you to understand
this. IF you've never had this happen to you...it is certainly
difficult to comprehend what this is like...when the clear and direct
thought transmission comes into you from outside of...your
own consciousness.
Anyway, he told me,
“Robert, you don't have to do this. You have already done this.
And you know everything you need to know from doing this before. You
do not need to do this again.”
It was a very clear
warning, by the way. I was being given the chance to avoid the
suffering which was yet to come.
This direct intercession
by the guru (dispeller of darkness) is not uncommon. I think
there are many people who can tell you similar stories.
Okay, so let's roll the
time conveyor belt forward to 1985...Sunday morning, Labour Day
Weekend. It was around 9 a.m., and I'd been having a lost weekend
with my friend Ray Forget.
My
plans for that day did not include having my first bout of direct God
Consciousness.
It started with this
thought coming into my mind. Just one word: God.
Yes, that's right...just
one word: God.
And it kept coming.
God.
And then there was a
pause.
And then: God.
The pause was out of sync
with my breathing, by the way.
And the one word came
into my head: God.
Just like that.
And I wasn't thinking it.
Really.
In fact, I tried to stop
it. But it kept coming...not linked to my breathing...and
independent of anything I was doing, too.
It just kept
coming...with this pause in between that was steady and
consistent.
Well, I didn't say
anything about what was happening. And my friend and I went out and
went over to another place where some lost weekend friends were
hanging out, doing lost weekend stuff.
And all the time I was
there...into my mind came this one word: God.
It wasn't really loud.
And I didn't hear it with my ears. It was coming from outside of my
own mind, too. That's the way it felt. And that quality of coming
from outside of me was really obvious, distinct, and very clear.
I want you to understand
this aspect of my experience. I am not making this up. I am not
adding this “touch” to my story, to try and give
credibility to what happened to me, or my version of my experience.
Anyway, I didn't stay
long at the lost weekend place, and said goodbye, and left.
I had to leave so I could
be on my own. What was happening to me was so real...I just had to
be alone.
So I got in my car and
drove away.
The one word kept coming
into my mind.
God.
God.
God.
I got on the Queensway (a
free way in Ottawa), and after a few minutes, I started talking out
loud, and cried out, “What the bleep is going on, here? Am I
going crazy? Is this really happening to me? Is this really God?”
And that's when the dam
broke, and this...very clear and powerful and direct and
telepathic communication came into me from outside of me...in
the form of specific, fully formed thoughts...just like someone was
talking to me, but in my mind...and it wasn't me talking to myself in
my own head.
Really.
It was God.
Oh, I know how crazy this
sounds. Boy, do I know. But it really was God, and it really
did happen to me.
During this process I was
given a very clear experience of God's unconditional love...and it
was infinite, eternal and the source of all.
Oh, there was a lot more
that happened, too. And maybe I will write about some of that stuff
in future articles.
But what I really want to
share with you is that my life did change. I could never be the same
again.
But...and this is really
stupid...I kept bleeping up many, many things through my own choices
that I made over the coming years, and decades.
I want you to really
pay attention to this, because you don't have to do what I did.
It doesn't have to be that way for you. That is the value of having
someone like me writing this stuff for you.
IF you are wise enough to
latch on to this information and really get your teeth into it, you
can cut out so much suffering and stupid, horrible errors of
choice mistakes...that eat up so much of your life...and hurt other
people, creatures, places and things...along your merry way.
Along this merry way of
my own life, I have had the great honour of being told by God not to
do...not to perform...not to choose certain choices.
Very clear...warnings:
“Don't do it.”
And yet I went right
ahead and did whatever “it” was. And yes, disaster followed. I
caused harm and hurt to myself and other people, creatures, places
and things.
And there were
consequences that I did not like. And I suffered. Man, did I ever
suffer.
But on I went.
This is...foolish and
stupid. It does NOT help you, at all.
My strong advice is
follow the guidance and do NOT do the choices that you get a clear,
divine warning NOT to do.
Go for the highest first.
This is a very good principle of Cosmic Law.
Okay, that's enough from
me.
All the Best!

amazing video of a holy man:
Now
here is a sample of a text from a talk that Tat Wale Baba gave in
1969:
What
is the aim of all the beings? It is the attainment of
infinite happiness. A life free from suffering, and the attainment of eternal
happiness is what we want.
Now,
we should discriminate and analyse if there is anything in the world
which can give us permanent,
eternal happiness. From the ant up to the giant of the
Creator, all are in the field of change, that is, relative values.
Infinite
happiness can only come from something which could be immortal,
non-changing, eternal.
This
which is the goal of everything, this infinite, is our own Self. And
in order to experience that Self which is the basis of all, we don’t
have to seek, we don’t have to search, we don’t have to make
efforts. It’s there, present everywhere.
Wherever
you are, in whatever reign of time or place, that Self is there -
wherever we are in whatever time. Only, we have to
take our awareness to that level and that is it.
Having
forgotten that level of life, we are seeking for that eternal
happiness. That Self is. It is being and it is blissful. Having
forgotten that, we now are seeking for it. We have forgotten what we
ourselves are and we’re trying to find that in the world. As long
as we don’t enter into that area which is infinite happiness, free
from suffering, so long we will not be free from
suffering and we will not get into that eternal
happiness. There is no happiness of significant nature in the world;
the child is gone, and the youth is gone, and the man is old, and
even then he is not fulfilled in the world. When he gets established
in the Self, then automatically freedom from suffering and
attainment of bliss will be there.
That
which is omnipresent doesn’t have to be sought. It’s there
already. Start to be. That which is omnipresent is not to be sought;
only our awareness has to be brought to that level and that bliss is
there. You don’t have to seek it. Understand? Unless we
get into that omnipresent bliss, satisfaction is not going to come.
If it were to come, it would have come by now through so many
avenues in the world. But, it has not.
Therefore,
that which is the Self is your own being. You don’t have to look in
the outside. And, it is irrespective of any religious faiths or
beliefs; Christians or Mormons or Hindus. That being is the knowledge
itself. Only, you have to know. All these various manifestations of
happiness that we experience in the world, they also are the
manifestations of the same eternal being which is our own Self. If we
are aware of the Self, if we know it, fine.
Otherwise,
we have to be. And, therefore, it is necessary to bring our awareness
deep within ourselves. As deeply as we can bring our awareness to the
Self, so intensely we can inherit that which is omnipresent in our
day to day life. Having known that Self we will be eternally
contented; remaining in the world we will live contentment. And, it’s
not a matter of detaching ourselves from the world. Only, we have to
know It, and having known It, then, all different manifestations in
the world will be experienced as manifestations of That. We don’t
have to detach ourselves. It is just a matter of bringing the
awareness to that area, and be, and live It.
Having
gained this beautiful, perfect human nervous system, if we have known
that element of the Self, then we have really used this wonderful
diamond-like gift, this diamond-like nervous system which is capable
of giving that eternal bliss. If it is not experienced, then we have
wasted that gift of diamond. We have taken upon ourselves this human
nervous system, not for the sake of petty enjoyment of changing
nature in this relative field of change, but to live and be that
infinite bliss. And, we will have to attain that thing whether we
attain it in this life, or in the next, or in the next. We just can’t
forego that. Therefore, with the assistance of the guru and the
scriptures, better to attain it quickly. Why postpone?
All
this world is in a state of pure Consciousness, and it is through
That that we experience everything.
Pure
Consciousness,or Transcendental Consciousness is nothing that we
experience. Through That we are experiencing everything. That is the
basis of all experience, and experiencing. So enjoy that
state.
