Dear Divine Souls,

The first days of my return to Penukonda were highlighted by a lunch with
Swami in his office.  As usual in casual moments with Swami, Telugu dance movies
blared from the TV, very loudly.  I spent many hours with him, and he asked me to
tell you my impressions of that wonderful time.

Swami is my big son.  That is what he tells me, something he repeated several
times during our conversation.  In the Divine Mystery Fort Volume One he signeda
statement that I was his soul parent.  I am his soul father and Monika is his soul
mother. He constantly reminds us that these were not empty words and that soul
parents have a special energy channel whose meaning will become clearer in the future.

As Swami's soul father I want only the best for my "son."

It is no accident that negativity would attack Swami as he released the first volume
of The Real Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ.  This book series will open the world
to the path to greatness followed by Jesus.  Imagine the change that will flow when
there are thousands, or millions, of the highest level masters.

Throughout history nature has protected the status quo by casting doubt on
those who seek to end the cycle of oppression that afflicts us all. Jesus was
executed for threatening the the existing order, and now Swami repeats the
truth that was so threatening when it came from Jesus - we are not small
creatures doomed to live lives of pain and then disappear, instead we are
beings who contain creative powers of untold magnificence; and it is easier
to reach these powers than to continue living in helplessness.

One of the challenges of Jesus' lineage, as great as it is, lies with their
failure to fully assume their own greatness, instead relying on the nearly
infinite compassion offered by Jesus.

Swami greeted me with a heart-to-heart hug that enveloped me in his huge
love and grace, and it was tempting to just become nothing and know that he
would take care of everything, just as he did in the past.  But then Swami started
to talk, and he made it clear that was not what he wanted from his students. 
Yes, he loves us but he also wants us to step into the same greatness that was
offered by Jesus.  

Be a creator not a victim. We have to take the world's response and
transform it into divinity.  The mistakes that blocked Jesus' full expression
came from the students, and it is us, today's spiritual students, who have
to correct that mistake.

The world is filled with negativity, but that negativity always is accompanied
by opportunity.  The energy is always both positive and negative.  All too often
we look at the negativity only as the world sees it.  A master sees the hidden
positive energy and uses it to make a new creation.

Swami has said that the present troubles in the world, and in Swami's life, are
Mother Divine's birth pains.  She is not punishing us.  Every mother suffers
during birth, but that pain disappears once the new baby is born.  We are about
to welcome a new baby, full of promise and potential.

New babies are a time when families celebrate, no one concentrates on
the birth pains.  Our family is about to be blessed.
We are present at the birth of the real game.  
We are family.  This is our time of celebration.

During this time of birth Swami has asked that no telephone or video
conferences originate from Penukonda.   I will try to transcribe some old talks
and forward them to you; a small way to continue to share the energy. 
I thank the people doing transcriptions.

I also want express my thanks for donations that have made it possible
to spend time in Penukonda.

And the love that surrounds me here is also wonderful.  I was greeted by a
room outfitted by Clint and Monika with everything from food to toothbrushes
to puja items to sheets and cleaning supplies.  I am being treated like a visiting
prince and I thank everyone.

And, of course, the love and support offered by Debora is what opened this
doorway, and makes it possible to remain here.  My infinite gratitude goes to her.

Love Always,

Philip
