	27 January 2010</p>
<p>
	Dearest Pranananda,</p>
<p>
	Hello dear Teacher&hellip; I have a profound story to share with You, regarding an act of kindness You gifted me recently, and how much it meant to me.</p>
<p>	Last week, I returned from an 11-day, silent, Vipassana meditation retreat.&nbsp; If You&rsquo;re not aware of this technique, Vipassana (in a nutshell) asks participants to go deep into the sensations of their bodies, and learn to and remain neutral to what comes up, as a vehicle for just being with (i.e. accepting) &ldquo;what is.&rdquo; During what they call &ldquo;Strong Sittings of Determination,&rdquo; we sit for at least an hour&mdash;without moving a muscle&mdash;going deep into these sensations, and acting as the impartial observer as much as is possible. Our meditation schedule was intensely rigorous:&nbsp; 10 hours and 45 minutes a day, honoring noble silence for 10 of the 11 days&hellip; very little food&hellip; just depth, introspection, observation, and being with what is.</p>
<p>	On Day 4 of the adventure, they taught us the really deep part of the meditation technique, and that&rsquo;s when it was requested that we stop moving for an hour at a time. I had a story running through my head&mdash;that I wouldn&rsquo;t be able to do it, that I simply didn&rsquo;t have the stillness or stamina to stop moving, nor did I have the strength to remain impervious to the pain I knew would surface. But something had clicked in me earlier in the day:&nbsp; I had felt a deep trust in this process, sensing how much it could help me, and I decided to give it my all. If I could sit still for this first one-hour experience, then I would stay, knowing it was in fact &ldquo;for me,&rdquo; and that I was capable of completing this intense process.</p>
<p>	Roughly forty minutes in, I started caving in. The pain in my body felt devastatingly intense, and I felt as if I had nothing to hold onto. At the very moment I was about to give up and move, giving in to my ego&rsquo;s desires, Your image lit up in front of me. &ldquo;Why don&#39;t you ever call on Me for help?&rdquo; You asked me gently (or not so gently, if I recall correctly.) I really didn&rsquo;t have an answer (something about being stubborn). &ldquo;Do you remember what I said to You, the day you acknowledged that I am your Guru?&rdquo;</p>
<p>	&ldquo;Yes, I do. You said that You would never do anything that wouldn&rsquo;t serve me.&rdquo; I watched Your eyes very intently, and then finally uttered the words, inside my mind:&nbsp; &ldquo;Pranananda, please help.&rdquo; All You did then is lock Your gaze directly onto mine. I stared deeply into Your eyes and totally lost myself, as well as the story of the pain, the resistance to the process. Everything became fluid, and my strength rose up to greet my struggling mind. We shared a smile, and then Your image vanished. But I was strong again&mdash;rock solid&mdash;as I completed the meditation.</p>
<p>	For the rest of the retreat, my focus and strength would at times wane, but I stayed for the entire journey, and did a fairly decent job of transcending the resistance. The experience turned out to be incredibly profound. I have found a stillness inside, which I had never before accessed, and I&rsquo;ve been in a really strong, centered, and detached-yet-loving space in the days since. I want You to know how much You helped me access this divine center, and how much I appreciate all You do for all of us.</p>
<p>	Thank You for being there when I needed You most, and for reminding me that I only need ask.</p>
<p>	So looking forwarding to seeing You in a few weeks, here in Las Vegas. Zimmaron mentioned that You are planning to see the show &ldquo;Le Reve.&rdquo; I would love to buy Your ticket as a tiny reflection of my thanks. You&rsquo;ll love &ldquo;Le Reve.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s really enchanting.&nbsp; </p>
<p>	Much love to You, Master&hellip;</p>
<p>	Kitty</p>
<p>	&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><em>(Pranananda delivered this discourse by way of a correspondence with one of His disciples.)</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Dear Pranananda,</p>
<p>Having recently spent a few days with my parents has brought up a lot for me, and I am feeling a tremendous amount of pain and sadness. I allowed myself to be consumed by my Mum&#8217;s thoughts about how I should be living my life&mdash;she, being the voice of my ego, and me, just wanting to run away from everything and have all the things that &ldquo;I want&rdquo; and not what God wants for me.</p>
<p>It feels like my family have all split off and gone in separate directions. I am so scared and so hurt that my family has become this way. My Mum&rsquo;s sister is not even speaking to my parents anymore, and she didn&rsquo;t want to come and see me while I was there. I see my Mum and her avoidance of the truth and the pain it causes her. I see her husband just allowing her to manipulate and control him. I worry about them so much, I worry about their marriage, and I see and hear his confusion and pain of denying that part of himself that so desperately wants to be with God. Mum just puts a lid on it all; she won&rsquo;t even allow him to display Your photo in the house.</p>
<p>I feel completely heart broken, and I feel myself wanting to be there for them to protect them and reach out to them. I miss them so much. I feel somewhat desperate and distressed because I just don&#8217;t know how or if I can get through this one; it just feels so big.</p>
<p>I feel really bad writing to You time after time, talking of all this sadness, because in my heart I trust You and I know I am in the right place. My mind just feels a bit crazy at times and I feel clouded over with emotions, and it makes me feel so far away from God.</p>
<p>I just miss my parents so much, and I worry about them all the time. I feel very resistant to the situation that we are in as a family, and at this time do not feel the blessing it is gifting me. I am overwhelmed and do not know what to do.</p>
<p>Thank You for listening to my cry and holding me up when I feel I cannot go on.</p>
<p>I love You.</p>
<p>- Your loving disciple</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<strong>(Pranananda&#8217;s reply):</strong></p>
<p>My beloved,</p>
<p>Thank you for your letter. As for your perceived &ldquo;plight&rdquo; regarding your parents, it is important to remember that it is not your job to &ldquo;fix&rdquo; them. They are big boys and girls; and their problems existed long, long before they ever met Me. It has been through the Master&rsquo;s grace that their problems have now been illuminated and exposed for them to finally heal them. Please remember:&nbsp; All of what they are experiencing was going to happen anyway, had they never met Me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The Guru illuminates and accelerates the (inevitable) destiny of every soul.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your mother and aunt have been battling with mental and emotional illness since years before you were even born, and none of it has anything to do with you (aside from your having great compassion and caring for them, all of which is both beautiful and proper). Their problems and sadness came from their childhoods. And now they are forced&mdash;thank God&mdash;to have to face what they have avoided all their lives.</p>
<p>By exiling the Guru from their lives (Gu-ru = one who leads others out of darkness), they have pushed away the help which they prayed long and hard for God to send to them, and left themselves with a now-larger version of the problem. This is tantamount to going in for a triple by-pass, open-heart surgery after suffering with a life-threatening condition for years, and then jumping off the table in the middle of the surgery&mdash;running down the street, screaming, with tubes, pipes, and human entrails dragging behind.</p>
<p>I was, and still am, in the middle of performing this restorative heart surgery (except without a scalpel, drugs, or scars) on your parents and on all who have called out to Me in pain. Some choose to courageously stay on the operating table, despite their fears; and others choose to play out the cowardly and more painful scenario depicted above. I, however, do not have that option. My surgery continues, regardless of the patients&rsquo; choices. Thus, I am working with whatever My beloveds bring to the (operating) table.</p>
<p>Your Mum&rsquo;s husband has been battling with his fear, and lack of courage and personal conviction all of his life, ever since he was a child and his parents (wittingly and/or unwittingly) saw to removing every shred of it from his being. He now has the perfect recipe&mdash;at his request (a very important factor for you to remember!)&mdash;for reclaiming that crucial part of himself. Without it, he is relegated to continue living as a shell of a man.</p>
<p>He took his Guru&rsquo;s picture down (not your mother) because he has placed his wife before God, and this is why he walks in this world with such an all-pervading sadness in his face and aura (recall the First Commandment, delivered by Moses when he came down from Mt. Sinai:&nbsp; &ldquo;I am the Lord, your God. Place no false gods before Me.&rdquo;) Eventually, your Dad will put God first, and neither his wife nor anyone is going to stop him. He has not betrayed Me, only himself.</p>
<p>Your role is to love your parents, not fix them. And you are in the best geographical and spiritual location to learn how to better do that, while protecting yourself from their same fate. Be happy for them, and be happy for yourself. I am taking care of all of you. Trust. Your living and training where you are IS the best help you could ever give them, and it is sourcing them more than you will ever know.</p>
<p>I am also sending (to live with you) one of your dearest angel friends in the Cosmos, to source a kindred soul. You two have much in common, and you will be a great support for one another. This will bring you both great joy.</p>
<p>As you can see, all is in order. All is in perfection. And it just may be that your parents will separate. Your Mum&rsquo;s husband is too hooked into what I call &ldquo;God or Bust&rdquo; consciousness. He has seen too much; he knows too much of what is available and of what is calling him. He has come too far to turn his back and walk away. How fortunate for him. It is now only a matter of time. He is like a spaceship which has entered the gravitational field (and pull) of the Sun.</p>
<p>This same fate will happen to every soul at some point in a given lifetime&mdash;your Mum, too. It doesn&rsquo;t matter when it happens. It happens when it is time. None are &ldquo;better&rdquo; or further &ldquo;ahead&rdquo; because it has happened to them. It means nothing in and of itself. It is just an &ldquo;Is-ness.&rdquo; And right now, your Mum is pretty adamant about not wanting help, as well as about trying to quell her husband&rsquo;s hunger for God-realization and freedom from the madness and suffering, the latter of which is ultimately fueling his fire and passion for God even more (though neither of them knows that) and will only serve to further accelerate the inevitable&mdash;even in My physical absence.</p>
<p>&hellip;So, you see, it was never about Me. Blaming others is only another excuse people give themselves to continue avoiding facing themselves and their own pain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;<em>The Guru is the cure to your problems,<br />
not the cause of them.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What you really need to do is to keep re-reading this letter and all those gushing-from-the-heart letters you have sent Me in the past; the ones devoid of your current lapse into madness and fear. Please&hellip; use this letter and those others as your Bible!! Read them over and over and over, and especially when you go into the &ldquo;crazy&rdquo; place&#8212;especially then! Furthermore, I highly suggest that you immerse yourself in My teachings:&nbsp; lose yourself in our website&mdash;audio discourses, written ones, photos; listen to our various products, discourses, and tapes of retreats&hellip; over and over and over. And, very importantly, transcribe some of those same tapes, which are your own training into self-mastery. By doing so, you will be receiving not only My wisdom and love, but My very darshan (vibration) in more ways than you could from any other means, short of being in My physical presence. Transcribing IS the fast track for those who do not live with Me. Finally, stop indulging your mind. Shut it off. It often gets in the way, more than it helps.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lend credence to the illusion<br />
and you become the illusion.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I can help you; I can source you; I can guide you&hellip; but I cannot do it for you. You must discipline yourself to stay focused on the truth, and you must be obedient to Divine guidance in order to uplift and transform your life. How many people do you know who pay a fortune to go see the best doctor in the world to treat their condition, after suffering long and searching everywhere for help, then receive the diagnosis and subsequent prescription, then go home and throw it away and later tell all their friends he was a lousy doctor (just because the condition or ailment still haunts and troubles them)? Answer:&nbsp; None. By the same token, how many do the very same when it comes to following the advice (i.e. taking the prescription) that their Guru&mdash;the Doctor of all doctors&mdash;gives them? Answer:&nbsp; 90%.</p>
<p>You, My beloved, have now finally and very masterfully succeeded in surrounding yourself with ones who are strong in their faith, in their devotion, and in their loyalty. Talk to them! During My own training, I had to cut Myself off from My parents and siblings for close to two years. It was far too difficult to do what I had to do while enduring (what I then perceived as) their lack of support. Yes, I felt some guilt, too; but I knew the Truth, and I was not willing to betray that!</p>
<p>Please do not expect Me to keep writing this same letter to you, again and again, every time you choose to pretend you have seen and learned nothing. Discipline yourself. Make a file of all our correspondence, yours and Mine, and read it next time you choose to go &ldquo;belly up.&rdquo; Reach out for help from those who are right next to you! You may write to Me anytime you wish. I will read all your letters, and I love them. I simply will not keep writing this same message to you if you are unwilling to help yourself. IF YOU FOLLOW MY GUIDANCE, I WILL LEAD YOU TO THE LAND OF PEACE, FREEDOM, AND FULFILLMENT&mdash;like you could never imagine.</p>
<p>My last words are these:&nbsp; You (like so many others) came to Me so that you would not end up, ten or twenty years from now, in the same predicament and circumstances as your parents. Remember that! That is not your plight or your destiny, and you would be letting them down if you give up on yourself, too. Be strong. You can do this, and you will be victorious.</p>
<p>I believe in you!</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
With My eternal love,</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Pranananda</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The person we should be thanking for caring and making the world a better place is Michael Jackson. He is the most loving and caring person you would ever know. I know that he might have done some strange things but that is because he had no friends and had no child life, he was always on stage. He liked anyone. It doesn&rsquo;t matter if you are black or white, he would still like you. I don&rsquo;t know why people would tease him about his face. His face was fine. You don&rsquo;t judge someone from what they look like on the outside, you look inside. </p>
<p>Michael had a caring heart. He made the whole world have peace and to understand that we are not different at all. I know that we might look different but we are all human beings that is why Michael came down from God, so he could get people to understand. We should not be fighting, we should be loving to each other. If you listen to the lyrics of his music, it doesn&rsquo;t matter if you are black or white, heal the world, make it a better place. See, he did his job. He is not really gone. He will be back, you just won&rsquo;t know it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose <u>of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will</u>.</p>
<p>Over the 7 years of my life with His Holiness Beloved Pranananda, I have to have great confidence in Pranananda&rsquo;s ability to work things out. No matter what is going on or how obscured my understanding of a situation is, I believe Pranananda is always working things according to His great sovereign plan.</p>
<p>It is as if there is this giant tapestry that Pranananda is weaving and my life is part of it. I sometimes get caught up with temporal things and the stuff that is happening, but Pranananda reminds me, &ldquo;Hey, nothing is taking me by surprise. I&rsquo;m weaving all of these things into this great pattern. Your mistakes the stuff that happens to you, it is all going to turn out alright.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Has it ever occurred to you that nothing occurs to Pranananda? The thing you are embroiled in right now did not take Pranananda by surprise. He did not look at your situation and say, &ldquo;Oh no, I didn&rsquo;t figure on that. Francis do you have any suggestion? What are we going to do?&rdquo;</p>
<p>I know that sometimes in my microscope view of things I have said, &ldquo;Lord, such and such has got to happen.&rdquo; And Pranananda has replied, &ldquo;Well you don&rsquo;t have the big picture.&rdquo; Then as time went on, Pranananda pulled the camera back and I got the wide view, and I realized Pranananda was up to something very cool&mdash;totally apart from what I thought had to happen.</p>
<p>Whatever your situation, you can rest assured that Pranananda has plans to work things out. Pranananda is working all things after the counsel of His own will. So relax, Even if your present circumstances have totally taken you by surprise, Pranananda saw it coming and made provision far ahead of time.</p>
<p>Many who do not believe can take example of my recent experiences. </p>
<p>God Bless You All, remain in your faith.</p>
<p>
With Much Love,</p>
<p>Disciple Francis<br />

<p>2 February 2008</p>
<p style="">Beloved Louix,</p>
<p>With deep honoring and gratefulness. I am returning to you God/You with my heart weeping. i feel so much loved and blessed by God/You.</p>
<p>It is this situation that we Kenyans are in that we seek the soul food that I came a cross your letter &quot;A letter to the World.&quot; It is amazing how this message is similar to what we are going through at this time. It is even amazing that it has taken over seven years that i today found the message.</p>
<p style="">My beloved Louix, with your permission I would wish to get copies of this message to thousands of Kenyans. Your blessing are forever upon us, guide us to the deeper God&#8217;s heart.</p>
<p>Thanks so much as this message will help us heal. I humbly call upon you to write me and Kenyans as message similar to the one. I wish I could be able to put the message in the newspaper so that Kenyans can get the message. My beloved louix, please advice me of how to disseminate the message. Today, as i write you thousands of Kenyans are refugees in their own country. They spend the night in the cold, women and children have been left with with no clothes after their houses were burnt down. no food or even the basic needs.</p>
<p>Gangs in their hundreds work with weapons in their hands, hatred and murderer in their eyes. You cannot believe that today we are divided by our tribal ethnics groupings. I trust and believe in you humbly offer us solution.</p>
<p>My beloved Louix, let me know what role I can play to bring sanity.</p>
<p>Thanks for taking me back to way, may God bless.</p>
<p>Lots of love,</p>
<p>Maina</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;Let us hold in our hearts this day, on the 2nd of February, in the Year of our Lord 2008, all the people in all the tribes in Kenya. And let us see the people in this land&mdash;in the heart of Africa, the very birthplace of civilization&mdash;as one tribe, one family&hellip; a family of God, a family in love. Let us radiate our love to these peoples and to this land, and see the madness dissolving:&nbsp; anger, rage, and hatred turning to love, compassion, kindness, sweetness, friendship, camaraderie, sisterhood, and brotherhood. See the exchange of weapons and offensiveness, right this very moment, being replaced by embraces, caresses, and gazes of adoration,&nbsp;compliments&#8230;</p>
<p>As the mystical phoenix rises, now, in this Year of Rebirth on Planet Earth and throughout the whole Cosmos, it is not only natural, but necessary, that all the ways of old must die and fall away. That is all that is happening, the last desperate cries of separateness. Of course it would begin there (Kenya), in the very heart and origin of the human race.</p>
<p>And, like Christs among all people, may the crucifixes these ones are carrying now lessen the burdens and the experiences of ones to come, as the falling and dying away spreads through lands far and wide&hellip; as it must, in order for this phoenix to rise up and out from the demise of its former self, its no-longer-useful self.</p>
<p>Let us bless and thank and anoint these souls in Kenya for paving the way for others. Let us also speak to the souls walking in the forms of ones with maddened minds, and acknowledge them and bless and thank them, and let us take heed from <em>their</em> experience and <em>their</em> suffering, too. From the madness we are witnessing now in Kenya, let us each call forth, claim, and commit to a new and unprecedented level and promise of transformation within ourselves, this very day, this very moment, and from henceforward, so that others may not have to suffer so much, if at all.</p>
<p>We can be&mdash;and are&mdash;the harbingers of a New Way. It was never God&rsquo;s intention for His/Her children to suffer. Through our deepening surrender and acceptance, others will not have to, and the suffering in Kenya can end. Each one of us individually has the power to achieve this&mdash;for a whole nation, for a whole race, for a whole world. All it takes is One.</p>
<p style="">So heinous and so intense is what humanity is witnessing in this sacred land of Kenya because it is the microcosm of a much larger (Cosmic) event taking place. The current strife in Kenya is the amalgamation and concentration of the entire collective consciousness on Earth. In short, this global transformation has begun in the epicenter of the human race and will now spread outward.</p>
<p><img hspace="15" height="241" align="right" width="300" alt="community lc prayer kenya A Prayer for Kenya" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/community-lc-prayer-kenya.jpg" title="community-lc-prayer-kenya" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3937" />So, let us channel and direct the energy of surrender&mdash;individual, personal surrender&mdash;of free (separate) will to God, replacing that separate will with a deep, dauntless, and unabiding acceptance of Divine will:&nbsp; for our personal lives, for our families, for our vocations, for our earth, for our world, for our existence, and for our future. And let us be strong and unwavering in our promise and commitment, so that the suffering and the madness may end, for indeed it shall&hellip; indeed it shall.</p>
<p>What we are witnessing are the growing pains of a human race that is verily molting its own shell. Let us hold these ones, and all ones in this same experience, with great tenderness and compassion, as we hold ourselves and would like to be held in this way by others, as we, too, are in the process of recreating, redefining, and rebirthing ourselves as the phoenix.</p>
<p>Let us call upon the angelic realm to descend upon Earth, like never before, and upon all their mighty legions, in their full power and presence, to guard, guide, and protect each and every soul embodied who must walk this same walk&mdash;however that may look&mdash;into the very tabernacle of God&rsquo;s heart.</p>
<p>So powerful a time is this on Planet Earth, and so rapid is the transformation and acceleration now occurring. We must be steadfast, sincere, pure and chaste, ardent and dauntless in our commitment to becoming greater and greater love, in our commitment to surrendering all which no longer serves our souls&rsquo; highest good, in our commitment to loving and serving our fellow sisters and brothers and all God&rsquo;s creatures.</p>
<p>And so, finally, we send this blessing, with our deepest love and compassion, to you, beloved Kenya, as epicenter and wayshower for this burgeoning divinity of the entire human race. We bow before you and we stand strong alongside you&mdash;as you shall for us, everyone and everywhere&hellip; as we are in this together, in our own time and place&mdash;for truly are we One in the heart of Love.</p>
<p>As we partake of prasad (holy communion, blessed offerings), and when we break bread at every meal, let us all know that we are, through this act, transmuting and purifying the dross and the madness that has laid siege upon the sacred land of Kenya. By so doing, shall we here and now reduce the amount of like circumstance that would have taken place in other lands, other countries, other tribes.</p>
<p style="">Through your sacrifice, beloved Kenya, heart of the world, may we <em>all </em>find peace, harmony, unity, and oneness, and love for self and one another&mdash;as equals, as divine, and as God loves us.</p>
<p style=""><img height="279" align="left" width="350" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1728" style="margin: 0px 15px 10px 0px;" title="girl-boy-closeup-small-resizedjpeg" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/girl-boy-closeup-small-resizedjpeg.jpg" alt="girl boy closeup small resizedjpeg A Prayer for Kenya"  />Let us see this blessing permeating and having permeated the land itself, and all of the elements, as well as the people&hellip; and it shall continue to do so, for this is an open and expanding vortex, not a one-time event. Our continued thoughts and prayers will continue to amplify this blessing, and it will radiate out, continuing to cleanse and transform, encompassing the entire world and the entire Cosmos.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I encourage everyone to really become more and more disciplined, more and more pure and chaste. It is so vitally important, more so now than ever before. Be very discerning, be very exacting as you look upon your life and see what needs to be let go:&nbsp; what habits and disciplines that are weak and need strengthening; which inauthentic ways of being need be released and/or transformed&hellip;. Please, please&mdash;I beseech you&mdash;do this now, and do it every day. Now is the time. The gains you will make are beyond comprehension; and resisting this way of being will, likewise, bring incomprehensible pain and suffering&mdash;incomprehensible. Really, there is no choice, for one who is wise.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And do this not out of fear, but with great passion and excitement. This energy of Rebirth that is available and radiating unto and through all of Creation this year is so purifying, profound, and all-transforming. To simply watch it go by would be, itself, the greatest of tragedies. Take hold of it, befriend it, romance it. Let this be the first and greatest year of your life. So much wonder lies before you, before each of us.</p>
<p style="">Take heed to My words, and take them seriously. Be the demonstration, be the example for others. Let God&rsquo;s grace take hold of you and sweep you away, that others may be inspired by your life, by your transformation. Let the following words be your mantra, your Mission Statement:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&ldquo;Take me Lord, for I am Thine, and Thou art mine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Take me, Lord; I surrender.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">All that I am, all that I was, all that I shall ever be,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I give unto You.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I do hereby surrender my free will into Thine,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to live and reign as One.&rdquo;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">6 December 2007</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dear Pranananda,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wanted to share with You the huge gift Jafeth&#8217;s mum left with us. She transitioned yesterday morning, just before 6:00 a.m. The feeling of unconditional love and peace was palpable! Her mother (that is Jafeth&#8217;s grandmother) was the first one in the long line of people welcoming her. She extended her hand to her daughter and the minute she took it, she took her last breath&#8230; it was nothing less than divine. This whole experience is such a beautiful gift she gave her daughter (Jafeth&#8217;s sister), as she was able to see all of this happening. She saw her mum leaving her body as an orb of light and going momentarily into her and giving her/showing her unconditional love briefly before going.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She was able to see the beauty and be in reverence of the moment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was truly magical.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you so much for your guidance, as I was able to share with Ariadne (Jafeth&#8217;s sister) Your words in regards to death and the privilege to be present.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking forward to see You and Ariel!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Love,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If I were to play the song of my heart, it would be a symphony of instruments playing notes of love, slow and beautiful tones that would bring any soul to tears. My song would speak gentle whispers—soft, clear, and pure. Singing soulful melodies laced with gratitude:  “Thank You, God. Thank You for knowing You. Thank You for knowing Me. Thank You for the honor of knowing and walking with my Guru, Bhagavan Sri&nbsp;Pranananda.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have heard the words “unconditional love” spoken so many times in my life. I have also thought, at each point when it was spoken, “Yes, I understand what unconditional love is!” I can safely say that, after spending even the first moment with my Guru, I still have not even an inkling of the enormity of true, unconditional love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pranananda is the embodiment of a love where judgments, thoughts, feelings, and opinions never existed. This is God’s love, and I never would have believed it—not for a second—if I had not found Him. I would have continued on with my life, accepting a struggled attempt at not reacting to others (and to what I “thought” they had done to me) as my truth of God’s love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am continually awe-struck:  How big can God’s love really be? How far it can reach? Every time I think I know the answer, I see Him push the threshold and love us all the more. I have witnessed Him bear what my mind perceives to be the hardest of trials I could imagine, and He has never once—not even for the smallest moment—taken one step, one glance, one thought out of this unbridled, endless love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He inspires me beyond words. As His disciple, I have the very proof and model of what I am striving for. He lives His teachings. I have a true, physical, tangible experience of what it means to love without restrictions, to love everyone without judgment, including the self.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How can one allow God’s will to be done, no matter how it might affect her? How does one stand in the face of anger? of blame? of betrayal? He has known all of these and more. I, myself (in my ego mind), have tested His love many times. Pushing, trying to see if I could prove God wrong about this love that wears no masks. But I have never won, and He has always pulled me through each lesson, shining brighter than I ever had before.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am so grateful to Him for loving me this much, for loving everyone this much. I am inspired and moved by the immeasurable devotion He wields for all who walk through His door—and all who don’t. And the magical part is, I know that His love and acceptance will only grow, the more it is pushed, for God’s love (I am starting to realize) knows no boundaries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you were to ask me:  Who inspires me? Who motivates me to grow and expand myself? If you were to ask me:  Who is the one who moves me? Who ignites my heart? My answer is:  my Guru, Bhagavan Sri Pranananda. The single, greatest soul I have ever known. The One who said, “I will serve You, Lord,” and who lives each breath committed to His promise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">5 August 2006</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dearest Pranananda,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well YOU did it! True to Your word, ten days short of the three months that You promised it would take to transform my life, You have done it!!! “My Miracle” is complete&#8230; I have begun my new life. You have set me on my magical journey and, as my heart told me on that first night when my eyes drank of Yours, I now know, for a fact, that my life will NEVER, ever, be the same again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Scared at first, I allowed Your wisdom to shine as a lantern over my head to light the way. I then watched, with trust and with Your hand in mine, the transformations that have occurred all around me. I have sat in child-like wonder at all the simple beauty of it all—the synchronicities, the opportunities for growth, the people (Oh, all the beautiful people!), and all the love and miracles—every, single day!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The affirmations You gave me have swept away the deeply buried sadness that I have held from my past. The meditations have revealed to me, with magnificent magic, the ancient wisdoms of the past (ME, an ordinary girl, sitting with Sages&#8230; who would ever have dreamed!). And You, the greatest miracle of all, have guided me by Your example. I will hold Your beautiful smile forever in my heart, and the sound of Your laughter will always ring in my ears. You are a wise and gentle Teacher, with just enough firmness to help me not to waver, but to stay true to my convictions. I can see now the amazing opportunities for growth that the gift of the cancer has given—not only to me, but also those around me. I even LOOK different now, and people keep commenting on “the glow.” I can see now how we can all recognize the Truth, even if we cannot always put our finger on what it is. But our hearts always know, as You have taught me:  If we listen with our hearts, we will hear our souls singing our song.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank You, from my soul, deepest within, for opening the ears of my heart. You are a true and wise Leader, and I wish you God’s speed in Your journey of awakening us all to the Secrets of our Souls. Please continue to let others know, as I will, that miracles can happen to even the most “ordinary” (even though I know that none of us are really that!)&#8230; for I am testament to that!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With all the Love that my Heart can muster…</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Always Yours,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">

<p style="justify;">I first saw you on the Wisdom channel last week in an interview and was immediately drawn to your words of wisdom. At once, your face seemed familiar to me but I couldn&#8217;t figure out where I&#8217;d seen you before. I visited your website and sent the URL to a friend. I spoke to him on the phone a few days later and his first reaction was “He looks familiar to me.” Then my husband finally had the chance to go to your site, and his first reaction when your photo came up was, “He looks familiar to me.” God gives me/us signs of miracles every day and this was one I became aware of consciously. It is a recognition of Love. I look forward to discovering more of Your teachings and discovering more of All That Is and bringing it into my Being. Thank You for Being.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Dearest Guru Louix,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for having me over and accepting me as your disciple. I know you are liberating me, and I have no words good enough to explain all that I am feeling. I beg you to give me the strength to walk on the path led by you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even before I was contacted by your disciples, I had already accepted you as my Guru. It just happened by reading your most beautiful poems, articles, and some chapters from your book. You reminded me again of my childhood dream to fall in love madly with God. I always used to want to be like all those lucky souls who could live in this world and yet be deeply, deeply in love with their Beloved God that they could remember him and sing about him with every breath they took. I also never thought that was/is actually possible for me to be like them, that selfless. But it was something to aspire to.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This dream was long forgotten in my race for what I thought the way my life should be moving. I got too busy controlling, planning, hating, crying, and finally ending up completely closing up my heart so much that it has been hard to feel any joy or look forward to waking up each morning. This has gone on for almost 8 years now, maybe more. And then the miracle happened:  All my longing and sincere questing did finally lead me to you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The moment I read your articles I knew that I was very attracted to your writing and wanted to learn more and more and more. The biggest gift you gave me was reminding of my childhood ardent desire to lose myself in loving Krishna/God. In the last 12 years, I have come to love Jesus also deeply. It would be wonderful if I could follow Buddha&#8217;s path too. So I had started jumping from one boat to another and then another, and I was totally exhausted, and yet, could not give up. I thought that my search must be for my Twin Flame—and so pursued different psychics, books, channelers, astrologers, etc. Finally destiny/God/You took pity on me and lead me to Vipassana meditation, my friend Margaretta, Neale Donald Walsh&#8217;s CWG and other books; to glimpse 4 Masters in less than a 6-week period. I saw the Dalai Lama, Ammachi, Ching Hai, and Yourself. I am glad it came in that order.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When You asked us yesterday to give example of our faith, I was reminded of a story about Krishna, which I wanted to share with You. Krishna had 2 wives—Rukmini and Satyabhama. Satyabhama was always insecure thinking that Krishna probably loved Rukmini more. Maybe to teach a lesson on love and faith (I am not sure of exact reasons) Krishna announces that he can be bought by the person who can match Krishna&#8217;s weight with the weight of whatever commodity the buyer intends to buy Krishna with. Seizing this opportunity, Satyabhama, who wants so much to have Krishna for herself, asks Him to sit on one end of the weighing scale while she heaps all the gold in the palace on the other end of the scale trying to balance the scale. No amount of gold or other things could balance the scale and Satyabhama is in despair. Then comes Rukmini, who is shocked at what she is seeing. Satyabhama asks Rukmini to give a try herself. Rukmini then asks the side of the scale containing all the gold and heavy objects to be emptied out. She just places one tiny Tulsi (Holy Basil) leaf with all her faith and love and the scale immediately balances!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With all my Love and gratitude,</p>
