There are a number of reasons why Her Divine Message will
eventually
triumph. i will not go into these details because some have
already
been discussed since this forum started three years ago. The
rest
will become obvious over the years. All i can say is that in
future
the vast majority of seekers will be those attracted by Her
Divine
Message. The subtle system Sahaja Yoga will recede further
and
further away; for years now it has hardly attracted any
seekers,
especially in Europe, North and South America. There is just
no hope
left as maximum effort has been spent for years with almost
no
results. Nobody seems to be interested in the free subtle
system of
Sahaja Yoga anymore. Modern seekers willingly pay a premium
to get
better equipped yoga studios and professional, educated
teachers.
So that leaves us with the last and only choice - TELL ALL
THE
NATIONS that the Holy Spirit/Comforter/Adi Shakti has come
to
deliver the Divine Message to humanity! That is exactly what
we
intend to do.
Right now the foundations are being laid that will take
years to
accomplish, but definitely by 21st. February 2013. By then
we will
be able to explain in detail to all seekers of all
traditions and
give evidence that their searching for purpose finally ends
when
they meet the Shakti within. All websites will be dedicated
to the
Divine Feminine and Her Divine Message to humanity. i assure
all
that we will not rest till this very important task is
accomplished
because more and more humans are searching for purpose. Only
Her
Divine Message will attract and awaken them.
Will it be a turning point? Yes, once it becomes clear what
She is
creating.

Searching For Purpose
BY PETER C. EMBERLEY
Spiritualism is on the rise as baby boomers seek meaning and
direction in their lives.
Baby boomers — the 8.1 million Canadians born between
1946-1964 —
are the best educated, most prosperous, and pampered
generation in
history. As they move through their middle years, however,
many
boomers are discovering that something is missing.
Increasingly,
they are looking for deeper meaning, greater satisfaction
and new
direction in life. In this essay, Carleton University
political
scientist and philosopher Peter C. Emberley writes of the
search for
spiritual purpose, much of it occurring outside mainstream
religion.
A baby boomer himself, Emberley, 42, is also director of
Carleton's
College of the Humanitarian in Ottawa.
"What we really need today is a spiritual version of
acidophilus,"
muses a devotee at Baba Haridass's asthanga yoga centre on
Saltpring
Island. She is talking about a herbal purgative, and
confiding why
she is enduring yet another round of one of yoga's
excruciatingly
uncomfortable contortions. "There's a lot to be scraped off
our
systems," she explains. I learn during the next few days
that she is
a best-selling author and accompanied consultant, yet
despite
prosperity, influence and all the conventional signs of
success, she
turns out to be a very unhappy person, profoundly alienated
from the
world, and seeking. In Buddhism. Vedanta. New Age. Kabbalah.
Angels.
A farmhouse in Ontario. A candle burns in at the centre of a
makeshift altar draped with an embroidered tablecloth... .
The
healer explains that during her own dark night of the soul
she
realized that the human world was torn and afflicted, the
result of
centuries of drastically constricting the range of human
experience.
Now, "we have to ground our energy in the earth, and open
our crown
chakra to the universe," to reach "being where we are." And
she,
too, seeks. In Shiatsu and Reiki. The human potential
movement.
Celtic spirituality. Goddess worship. Wicca. Archetypes.
The bells toll loud and long at St. Herman of Alaska, the
English-
speaking Orthodox church in Edmonton filled with converts
and the
curious... . "After centuries of beating the magic out of
religion, we are looking again for a little enchantment,"
says a
sometime parishioner. And so he, too, seeks. In the United
Church's
community of concern. The Anglican Church's prayerbook
society.
Anglo-Catholicism. In Opes Dei and Tridentine Catholicism.
Three seekers, each searching for spiritual consolation and
sanctification. Where none of these three baby boomers is
seeking,
however, is the mainstream. And they are not alone. For many
of the
baby boomer generation, "spirituality" is not happening in
the
churches, synagogues, mosques or temples. Canada's premier
chronicler of religious belief and affiliation, Reginald
Bibby,
offers incontrovertible data on the decline of membership
and weekly
attendance in the mainline faiths. In 1945, 60 per cent of
the
Canadians claimed weekly attendance and 82 per cent
professed
membership; in 1990 only 23 per cent attended regularly and
29 per
cent claimed to be members.
While many babyboomers are uninformed about the richness and
diversity of their own religious traditions, their plaits
and
hostility are understandable. Many women have no further
patience
for a patriarchal church that evolves glacially at best.
Sexual
abuse or hypocrisy by some clergy, historical injustices
perpetrated
by the churches on our aboriginals, unwillingness to
accommodate
progressive forces — all have dimmed the attraction of
institutionalized religion. "In church, it's all just yada,
yada,
yada," says a lapsed United Church parishioner. "We were no
longer
moved or touched by wooden rituals," claim Jewish and
Catholic
Canadians at an ashram in the Himalayas. With their exotic
swami, by
contrast, "we're listening to revelation, to live
scripture."
Charismatic Christians, Lubavitcher Hasidics, Sufis and New
Age
shamans all testify to the scriptural adage — the letter
killeth,
but the spirit giveth life. We hear in this clamor, perhaps,
the
death knell of 20th-century religion, institutions no longer
vital
with the spirit that engendered them.
But it is premature to herald the "death of God." Today,
thousands
of Canadians are embarked on complex spiritual searches...
. Very
few baby boomers admit they are "religious." They say they
are "spiritual," a signal that they are distancing
themselves from
the authority of creed, dogmatic theology and institution,
in favour
of a non-exclusive God.
Row after row of books on spirituality ... pilgrimages,
spiritual
labyrinths and wellness retreats; and television shows
proliferate...
There are also more subtle signs that another "great
awakening" is
occurring. Across the country, ordinary Christians, Muslims,
Jews
and Hindus meet weekly in private homes to study their
scared texts.
On weekends, dozens of groups meet in empty convents and
churches,
participating in Alpa and Cursillo retreats, spiritual
direction,
meditation — awash in tears, but also, amid gales of
laughter,
experiencing the transfiguring power of love and belonging.
Why the renewed interest in the sacred? An obvious reason is
that
the baby boomers, whose mean age is 43, are brooding on
their
immortality. Their bodies — objects of much pampering — are
now
showing the signs of decay. Many baby boomers for the first
time are
feeling fragile and vulnerable. Equally likely, with sick
and dying
parents, children needing moral guidance, ugly custody
battles, and
careers and family in sudden unanticipated tatters due to
severances
and "restructuring," many baby boomers are finally
confronting
primary questions of existence. Who am I? What am I truly
striving
for? What is the legacy I leave for the next generation?
They are
struggling at mid-life to achieve order and meaning in their
lives."
