Namasté Beloveds,
Just before Easter of 2006 I had a meeting with the Military General regarding the idea of the inmates in the local prison receiving Diksha. I was a bit surprised by his response as he didn’t like the idea AT ALL as he was imagining the worst of what could happen for me in that ambience amongst all of the criminals and he was really worried for my well being.
He requested that I please forget that idea and focus on other groups.
I understood his concern and during the course of the following week I prayed that my intuition would guide me and it very diligently led me to the decision that yes, I needed to offer The Grace to the inmates. I also didn’t feel any possibility of danger to my physical well being from the inmates in this particular prison.
So the next day on April 11th I visited the Municipal Police Headquarters to speak with the Police Commissioner for the information on who to contact about offering a Diksha course at this Prison which has almost 1000 inmates. He was delayed in a meeting and I was to see him an hour later. During this waiting time I was spontaneously guided to visit a graphic design studio located just across the street from The Police Headquarters. Upon entering, an employee asked if she could help me and I commented that I really wasn’t sure why I was there and to my surprise, about 4 minutes later a uniformed man entered with a police type uniform that was different then all that I had been familiar with up until that moment.
And what a
surprise!
When I
looked closer at his
uniform, he was in
fact working at the
Prison!! I had to
laugh at
thecoincidence as
Bhagavan
sure
doesn’t waste any
time in making all a
reality! After
introducing myself,
I learned that this
particular man was
actually the Prison
Director’s
Assistant!
He informed me that
there had just been
a major change in
the Prison Staff and
this new Director
had a very nice
disposition and was
easily accessible. I
explained my work to
him and shared my
interest in offering
Diksha to the Prison
and he scheduled me
into a meeting with
The New Director
just 2 hours later!
I’m happy to report that it was a successful meeting!!
The following day:
April 12th at 5pm
I began giving Diksha Groups in the Prison.
The first one was with the general population of 820 male inmates!
And the Military General so lovingly provided me with a large muscled body guard to assure my safety as he stayed by my side during ALL of the groups inside of the Prison.
But to our
surprise, the
inmates were so
grateful for my
presence that they
behaved even better
then the soldiers
had, by maintaining
complete silence,
staying attentive
and obediently
following all
instructions!
The
first group was very
open & receptive as
I gave a lecture for
over 90 minutes then
introduced them to
the
Anandamandala
Meditation.
It
took a few minutes
for them to get thru
the resistance
But
they managed to
overcome that
rapidly as I made a
joke out of it by
accusing them of
holding hands
And
that was all it
took, as we all
laughed out loud
And
just before we began
the exercise, I
requested that they
demonstrate their
properly clasped
hands and that is
precisely when you
see in the photos
that they are all
raising their arms
in unison!
All went so
graceful and
smooth!!
And
they
all did the exercise
extremely well!!
They
really loved the
Diksha and enjoyed
sharing their
experiences
afterwards! They ALL
felt the energy
entering their
bodies and saw
colors, visions, and
many
had
floating
out
of body
experiences. They were
so grateful!!!
I
cannot even begin to
explain how high the
energy
was!
The
THUNDERING applause
to Bhagavan and love
As they so
proudly gifted me
with a handmade
piece of artwork
that the inmates had
themselves created
along
with 1200
pesos ($110
U.S.) that came
STRAIGHT from
their
hearts.
If I did
this for the money I
would spend less
time with the Police
& hang out with the
criminals more,
doing more groups
with them!!
Just
kidding, of course!!
I
hadn't heard
thundering applause
like that since the
group of 3000 people
at the Palenque
Event!!
And
as I bid farewell,
they sang to me in
unison a song of
gratitude that they
normally sing (I
think) when they are
very happy with
someone. And they
expressed such joy
and excitement for
the Moola Mantra
music that I playedduring
the course
that
I couldn’t resist
gifting them a CD.
I
want to share that
at each event I
ALWAYS play the
Moola Mantra
music....
As I
NEVER give Diksha
without
the
accompanying
music...
It
was SO MUCH fun!!
As
it ALWAYS is as we
laughed a lot since
I always
manage
to
find
laughter in every
situation!!
of
the
idea of grasping
their fellow
inmate’s hands...
the
idea of grasping
their fellow
inmate’s hands...
like
girls as I noticed
them just laying
their hands on top
of one another’s
instead of grabbing
them in a strong
grip like men do
when they shake
hands! 
and they
proceeded to clasp
their fellow
inmate’s hands as
was required!
that I
felt in return was
astounding! felt in
return was
astounding!
AND OF COURSE THERE WERE GOLDEN BALLS EVERYWHERE...
24 April 2006
2nd Group of Male General Population Inmates
- Murals Area-
In this second visit with the general population of 820 male inmates, we gathered in another area of the prison which is decorated very colorfully by painted murals on all the walls.
In this session I decided to speak extensively about the Ancient Mind.
Did you know that as human beings we actually experience the same thoughts as they pass through all of our minds at different times? Since the beginning of time all thoughts have originated from a base called ‘The Ancient Mind’.
So actually there are no “new” thoughts and these similar thoughts continually pass through all of our minds at one time or another during our lives.
Depending on our particular antennas, as each of us are ‘tuned in’ to specific channels depending on our beliefs, conditioning etc..
And some of us may attract more negative thoughts then positive ones or vise versa.
The irony
in all of this is
that many of us have
actually committed
many crimes
(exclusively in our
minds of course) while
others have chosen
to
also act them
out.
So in
essence, the only
difference between
us and them is that
we think that
we are more
intelligent because
we either haven’t
yet acted on these
criminal
thoughts (as they
have) whether it is
due to our Fear...
or Awareness...
of the consequences that may follow….
Or, we
secretly have
acted them out and
we just haven’t been
“found out’ yet or
caught by the
authorities!
So when I give Diksha courses to the Prison Guards, I enjoy watching the expressions on their faces when I explain that the only difference between them & the criminals that they are paid to supervise, is that up until now THEY have actually been better at concealing their criminal thoughts and actions!
And so these inmates that are in the prisons are actually the part of humanity that have unconsciously acted or reacted to many of these thoughts and have been caught & punished for it.
So in
essence they are
paying for all of
humanity
.
All because they ‘lived out’ their ‘criminal moment’ creating reality in the physical world as they identified completely with the illusion... that the thoughts passing in that moment were actually theirs; and reacting 'violently' to them as if they were their own!
That is why
in many of these
prisons or jails
that I visit, the
inmates tend to be
quite well behaved
as their
criminal ‘moment’
has passed.
And now they are just passing the time behind bars as they live out their designated sentence of punishment without freedom.
An
interesting study
was conducted using
normal people to
research the
behavior of humans
under stress. This
study was set in a
prison and the
participants were
given 2 different
roles. Half of them
received the roles
of prisoners looking
to escape the prison
and the others were
given the roles of
the prison guards
which were to assure
that an escape
didn’t happen. The
results were
astounding as the
abuse that was
inflicted on the
prisoners by the
guards was
reportedly more
severe then in
‘real’ situations
!
They had planned on reversing the roles before the study was over but the researchers feared for the well being of the participants!
And this was a simulation! Imagine!!
I have to admit in my experience of working in jails and prisons I can see that at times the guards & the prisoners can experience a similar feeling as the guards actually live inside of the prison a full 12 hour shift with the inmates and the ambience is quite the same with the bars and fences & barbed wire. I can understand how the negative energy of being imprisoned can easily be felt also by the guards and suffering can begin if they are not conscious of this.
In Barcelona Spain the State Police are given the role of the prison guards and they are carefully rotated every month so that this very problem doesn’t have time to take hold in the psyche of the officers.
Unfortunately this level of consciousness has not reached Mexico yet, and I see the product of it in the level of suffering of the Prison Guards.
So I took the opportunity to speak of the ‘prison of the mind’.
And how many people who are NOT behind bars actually unconsciously live in the real world as if they are.
They are living in the illusion of limitation, (that the mind is so good at creating) out of fear, which is the base of our very being.
I am amazed at the majority of people who choose to identify with this fear and thus create a reality for themselves believing that ‘adventure’ is a very dangerous concept.
I
personally have been
traveling the world
alone starting at a
very young age. I
have had the
pleasure to
experience over 65
countries so far,
and when people
realize this they
are shocked and
their first question
to me is, “Oh my,
Alexis but aren’t
you afraid?”
My response
has always been to
laugh and ask them
in return, “What
exactly is there to
be afraid of? Fear
itself?
If I had identified with those many thoughts and feelings as they passed, I probably would have never set foot past my doorstep! ”
I have to admit that I have witnessed many of these thoughts over the years as they have passed thru my mind, but I just simply allowed them to entertain me. As if you would pay to see a scary movie and then later on leave the theater knowing that the movie wasn’t ‘yours’ at all and actually had nothing to do with you.
Now don’t misunderstand me, the feelings that arise within you during the film are your reactions and feelings, yes. But again, just try to enjoy the experience, being very careful not to identify with any of it, thus ‘becoming’ the drama that the mind so loves to create with it’s many stories of why you should suffer!
Oh how the mind so loves to suffer!
It’s sooo much fun to ‘watch’ this aspect of the mind and when you have had enough, just get up and walk out of the theater!
Yes, it is
that easy!
If you find
yourself getting
caught
in the
movie/drama of it
all
then just
stop,
and come
back to your
essence.
Breathe,
meditate, focus on
awareness, and
connect with your
heart
consciousness.
Take a walk in nature and ask for the Divine Presence to fill you.
Attend a weekly Diksha group in your city.
Read a book by Eckhart Tolle.
Be presence.
Or log on to www.onenessforall.com website and receive a Diksha thru internet in their meditation room.
And don’t forget to give something back for this great gift from the Divine!
We always have to give back when we receive.
In some form whether it be giving selfless service or providing donations to the lovely souls who are actually doing such work. Supporting them is enough if you cannot find the space/time to offer the same. And pay attention to the Karma that you are creating in every moment.
Are you taking/receiving more then you are giving?
If so, this circle is out of balance for you and you are creating more Karma that later on you will have to clear up or you will experience the imbalance in your reality.
So after this long talk, I introduced the inmates to the Chakra Dhyana Meditation.
They concentrated very well and had no problem with the position of the hands in this technique.
(Sorry for
the tiny photos as
my camera ran out of
memory space due
to too many groups
that day)
In deep love and gratitude to the Divine for Grace and Miracles! And all my love to you!!!
