And
One of my first jobs. I wanted to be a filmmaker television film producer and one of my first jobs was as an associate producer on a one-hour Network special with a man named Robert reader.
And probably go ahead then admit really made a name for himself the United States mostly in sports. He's like CBS Sports was really rather dreamer and he asked me one day. He said, you know, he says what do you know of Mayor Baba? I said, I've never heard me I said, he sounds like he might be some Indian who was something I'm really not interested in that I put away.
Kind of My Religion days are over. I'm not interested in hearing about
And he insisted on telling me a little about his son is that my son was a you know, my son was we had given him up for lost. He was a drug addict. He was in and out of hospitals and he was a total mess and we didn't know what to do and suddenly he found this may have baba and it totally changed his life and he was making some sorts of claims about many Obama, which really didn't I didn't understand and I really wasn't that interested.
That was the first time I heard probably about a year after that. I came into contact with this group.
Headed by a man named Oscar each as o a Bolivian teaching teacher would been exposed to all sorts of different.
Spiritual traditions and formed a school which was dedicated to the raising Consciousness in a way, which I had only dreamed about in the priesthood, which I'd never had actual techniques for doing and in my first contact with him. He allowed allowed us to ask too many questions.
And one of the many of the questions revolve around different spiritual personalities and grooves and things and he had very little good to say about them. And then somebody said what about may have baba. He said may have baba is the Avatar of need.
And I've never heard the word Avatar the didn't mean too much to me. And he said the Christ would really shock the use the word that I wasn't familiar with. But there was something about the way he said it and the respect I have for this man even to this day.
In which a seed was planted at least I would not close my ears to that name again. I heard it find out more about and he told a story that
1969 he went to the desert in arica Chile, which is the driest desert in the Western Hemisphere to do a ceremony of dedication of his life to the work of the school that he felt he had to start ask this work that humanity is basically the work of ego induction.
And he said that in that desert experience. He had a vision of Meher Baba.
In which a figure came to him for very long distance was approaching him and he said I I never experienced such love and all my life.
And I think he used the word or the expression and he dove into my heart.
Well, I didn't hear Bob his name again until maybe a year or two later. I was in London teaching for the school.
And our school is in a section of London. It was very close to the men of Ava house in Eccleston Square indeed a thousand was very interested in our school and over a couple of times and was interested in doing some trainings with us, but he never did he did invite us once over to the Eccleston Square house here. I deduce who was going to be in town. It's somebody who had been with Baba and nothing to lose. Let's go over and see what
So we went to a constant square and walked in the house. And the first thing I saw was this picture of Baba and I said, I don't know who he is, but I have to have a compliment because I felt immediately an arc repeated patterns and house. No, it was the Eccleston Square house Ababa house and
I heard I bees talk about you very very highest reminded me a lot of my Italian grandmother the way she dressed and everything. It seemed like it crystallized in the 40s and the work I was doing in a RICO was quite different from what I was doing here. I mean it was it was very nice that I was hearing. But the work I was doing in a Rica was
Much more of a sword type of work than a hard work.
Introducing the eagle
Anyway shortly after that. I came into contact with God speaks and with all my degrees in Theology and I have five of them. I couldn't understand what was it, but I felt there was something
And
I thought maybe later in my life. I would appreciate it more.
Then I returned to the states and
After about a year went through a very difficult emotional experience.
And
Sort of a mini dark night and happy to be in a book store one day and came across Alan Cohen's move Master consciousness.
So I picked it up and I glanced through the new things and it really attractive. And so I said, all right, I'll leave the school. So I took this book home and I can remember those days with these a really intense suffering whose continual all my waking hours.
But moments of reading this book. I felt totally lifted out of all that
That pain and that pain seemed totally loses those moments and I began to feel really who bottle was. I began probably because I had followed Jesus in my earlier life very deeply. I began to really smell him. And so gradually I started to tell people in the school about Mount of Olives.
And there was sort of a wave action to me about it in the river school that right.
And we had a one of the officers of our school had an office directly across the hall from the main Ababa Center in New York city. So I resolved one afternoon. I felt so strongly about I was going to go there.
So I called him a telephone person has no one's I said I'll go anyway, so I went over there and there was a sign on the door swing open on Friday nights movies or something like that, and I was really disappointed.
I put my hand in the door is open.
Supposed to be locked but it wasn't so that was like two or three hours. I just spent inside that it was like having my first Passion and to see his solder and his sandals.
And things that piece of rock from the tube from the floor of the Tomb these things touched me very much. Although they were very superficial truth. Is that the wrong but it would be having meeting. That's the room where they had me in this picture was everywhere and not and since I was the only one there. I felt free to go through every drawer every cabinet well,
Like you turn the key then you could ever you know, I felt that I said, oh these are Treasures of his pieces of his are here and what a tremendous Temptation there was to take just a little bit of something then I said, you know, he was here looking at
And so I guess yeah.
I started collecting pictures from my you see I'm one is very practical form. I have my heart in my eyes.
And I'm a carpet maker. So I started making profits and maybe four or five carpets of the size of this and in here you mean the Big Tuna problem. Yes. I haven't shown them. I have slides. I showed a beautiful and I would go to Baba meetings occasionally, but I wasn't really attractive most about him. I like the move.
Movies that are very attractive
And
And then one day I went is supposed to be a movie.
Thank you.
And me Nu cos unexpectedly and there was a story and IVs book to touch me more than anything I've ever read about new cross and it was the story about it was in one phase of Bob is life where he was like a football. He was kicked away from me and told not to look at him not to visit him and if he ever met him on the street, he used to turn his head in to walk the other way.
And evidently my new touch me new very deeply and well as the story goes, I'm not sure that I have it right enough.
He was in a city doing some kind of police work and
So happened that Baba was passed through that City for a day or so.
And he really felt.
The Binding of the injunction that he wasn't to visit him or seeing like, I don't think he had seen him maybe for five years
And you staying in the hotel Royal of the hotel Ruba? I'm not sure which it was and
He went to the station when Bob arrived and as soon as he saw the party get off he couldn't stay because he knew the injunction was not even look at father. So he turned and went away went back to the hotel and evidently went to the hotel and
And
Baba stated a hotel
All night long can Bob bothering the mandalas a new mule me know where to find me a new so the next morning they said how we going to find it with this big city. They said he said fine.
So they went out and looking here and there and it was totally hopeless. They didn't know where he was.
And then somebody I don't know who it was.
Decided to check some of the hotel registers and walked into this hotel right around the corner from Navasota Bible was at the Regal and this was the royal or something. They were hotels beginning with our and with five letters and back to back.
And
He saw me news name on the register went upstairs knocked on the door. This is how did you how did you know I was here. He said I saw your name in the register. He says Bob has been bothering us all night long to find it. He wants to see in fact. He's in the very next room. I mean of course didn't believe any of this is getting so the man believed every was does.
Baba from the other side goes
And it was just like a tremendous thing for me now. Well something very similar happened in my life and every house will use visiting so that story meant to not block somebody whom I love
Whom I was turned away from him.
And yet living with only a wall between us.
So anyway, we cut me a news headline who needed a haircut so he cut his hair and all the barbershops know there was somebody also living in our house from England eyes up here. You had another location. No, I don't care.
And just gradually over the years. I knew that I was going to have to come to India but New York City is like is like a Vortex, you know, I could not get out of New York City is very difficult and you need silence. I finally made it to Myrtle Beach under
I mean, it's very difficult to even get to Myrtle Beach. I finally made it to Myrtle Beach and I no sooner got there and it was a hurricane and I had to be evacuated.
About time, but
And just gradually I've I've come to Baba that way.
The reason I came to India was the living situation where I was in, New York.
It was fairly near the house on Grove Street, which some of you may be familiar with in Greenwich Village where Bobby gave his first public - I'm 1931.
And I've gone by that house many times and
I always wanted to go in and that house and meet the lady. I knew there was an old lady who lived alone there, but I had heard that she had been bothered by lots of Ava love is over the years and felt that she did really want the intrusion but one day I was walking by there and
I saw her putting the key in the door and I ran up to her and introduce myself to immediately and I don't know what I said.
That she thought she had known me and she said oh fine come tomorrow when I have tea.
And so I went the next day and she told me about Bob is saying and let me visit the room. The house hasn't been changed since problems and it's still as it is as it was in the 30s. And in fact, it's probably the first house were meetings were held in the United States 1931 for 25 years in a row every week. It was above me in that house, and I'm
Gradually, I became very close to this one.
She's sort of an invalid and I would take her to museums and Wheeler around in a wheelchair and she take me to concerts New York Philharmonic and I was allowed to clean the garden which is a garden where Bob a wolf.
And I really felt that was in two minds and on silence station. Let me especially spend a long time in his room and it was like really being and I really felt that his presence in that house and I would drive by on my bicycle every day is to through tough times a day in my daily rounds New York City and always go by that house.
I always look up to the window.
So she gave me an invitation. She had an invitation card for that darshan of 1931. And this is the space where your name was supposed to be his blanket. Was that evidently an extra one? She had left over so she gave that
So I'm honoring it now.
Rapid breathing son Chris realistic. Chris Traeger is with the society and I sent her the babri to do some work on. Oh God. I didn't know that until the other division dipping. Well, then is pretty obvious because you know, that's what Jeff said. No.
Not only feeling strongly but in a knowing that this is somebody who is known about bada probably saw a card above a Cod looks like somebody's Uncle you mean he's God.
This was here.
The United Nations is some branch and what other what other languages besides Indian languages Spanish and English and English American Australian, there are different languages brother and some some composition is infringed. Also nothing here in Italian. Is it nothing you could begin with? What is that mean devious and
So nothing means Ancient One determines effulgence ancient one soldier inside reading like they're gonna means unlimited compassion.
What is this? What is this? What is that mean? Maybe Ramona are ready so mad even makes me my name is except said no mine mine mine mine mine mine mine. I mean lying Artie arteries that comes out spontaneously except she has except except my heart is
Is the Sanskrit word for the heart except that which comes out of my heart don't hesitate if we let them free give and feel Faith.
And so we went around the side around the men's side by the gate overpass the small house to Bob as room the door was open.
And Baba was Seated on the bed.
It was hot that day and he seated with his Audra down to his waist you a couple of other people in the room. I have no idea who at this point. All I saw is we went up to the first step that room where we stopped with a baba sitting there beaming
I was arrested by The Wanderers that he actually was there that all of the reading longing in searching that it had been brought to focus on that one extraordinary moment.
In which he basically the vision of his presence and all I could do was stare.
What I saw was only then neither before nor since
Was that I saw his face looking me in the eyes beaming in this great light coming from lights so extraordinary and so we found him that it filled the entirety of my vision the space of the exact center of it beaming in tears poured down my face.
Not so much. I think an emotional response would simply physically but the intensity of light brought tears to my eyes on the force of it and I simply looked at it and are rich with a rigid my side.
I heard his voice interpreting. Bob is gestures Bob and saying that I looked tired and Dusty first thing. He said was I'm happy to see you and I recall thinking later. He's happy to see me.
That I was blessed to be there here.
Then I looked tired and Dusty I can have a hot bath.
She have a good dinner and get a good night's sleep with you can see me in the morning. And with that average. Turn me around. You walked me back over to the side.
And of course, I followed Bob is instructions to the letter. He also then said that I should read a certain chapter of God speaks before the sunset. That's specific and I sat in a chair here in the yard between the two houses between this unduly Hall and the small house adjoining and sat.
The Sun and read that chapter God speaks and fun and back up.
Now remember that there is exactly enough light in the day more to allow me to read the last sentence of that last paragraph of that length page. And if it had been any longer, we would not have been enough life. So this is my first knowing example of bothers perfect timing. I had the hot bath and a good dinner.
And somewhat Restless sleep give us where he had done great seclusion and spent so much time and I should mention that in the blue bus at that time all that. I remember that was in it was small bed. It's not the one that's there now and I was struck.
That I was asleep in that bed that Baba had himself used.
Particularly as it is the first night in more than a month that I had slept in any bit and slept only on floors and hold of the ship.
On the cement platforms of the Railway Station and it did my first bed. This is that can only be grateful early the next morning Edward woke me I washed we had breakfast together the chatted for a while Miranda.
His brothers owned and doing others and ever said well brother now it's time for the abduction. We came over here to London Lee Hall left her shoes outside and I noticed that Eric is carrying mine upset and I wondered at it and I was shown place to sit on the floor. But with Jimmy is sitting
They're cross-eyed be directly across from bottle and Irish place my knapsack next to me and I asked him. Why are you bringing in my naps? That doesn't he said I just wanted to show Baba a little you brought with you and I assumed it was because
Indians are famous for traveling with great quantities of luggage and I had a very small bad. Now this was the reason I had not told her nor anyone here that in that knapsack. I had three doses of pharmaceutical LSD. I had stopped taking other drugs, but let's see I wasn't sure about this was before Baba had ever given any public statements about it or any other drugs. I had some
Fantasy after the sahabas program
Which would have been over the end of Christmas this time of year that I would then go have gone up to Nepal and brought in the new year colorfully, but Eric's not knowing nevertheless place to nap sat next to me.
The other monthly the monthly was sitting here along the walls on both sides that time there were no Robbie's your cushions.
And through this these doors here my left suddenly. I looked over and Baba into the room wearing the white side ra with his hand resting lightly on Francis problems on and as soon as I saw him I stood and he looked at me down the length of the hall and waved me to sit down.
This is happened in those days to walk the length of the hall two or three times for his exercise for his seat in that chair and conduct what he referred to as the real news. Is this a work of his lovers in the world and I noticed my eyes fastened on him that he passed down the length of this Hall was two or three times that
Has he went I remember that along this wall Vidal was sitting in a chair my told them he had a beard Gray beard and Bob has stopped and gave his beard a little tug and that another one of the old ones that he stopped and patted his cheek, you know, these little exchanges of lung between the Beloved and his is old and somewhat higher mothers.
For all the years of service given them in spent in this company is his constant Companions and then he came in sat in that chair. We didn't have quite as fallible flower you're covering the clamp and he motioned to me jeffster. The diverse didn't have to interpret which was its to come to him from his embrace.
When I came and stood on the right side of the chair Baba reached his arms up and kiss me in both cheeks, and I kissed him in both cheeks and he looked me in the eyes smiled.
Emotions that I might mountains feet
Which I did and then doing so coming from someplace some deeper integration Within Me.
Out of the corner of my eye with my head on resting on his feet. I saw the Hem of His Garment the doorman and I reached up with my left hand and grasp it.
That moment I had the memory of his saying that we should hold on to his gumbo.
Motivated me and I thought that this is my opportunity for brief moments to do physically who I knew that was the least. What holding his Diamond really is then he motioned to me to sit down again against the wall.
And began to our church.
Speak to me from the silence. He gestured that.
He was in deep seclusion that I was blessed to be here.
He looked at me and asked me if I'd met God speaks. I said no bother but I was reading it but then I haven't completed it yet. I had it with me father said that it was good that I was reading it but I should read it again. And again until I quote felt it singing in my veins the way
Then ask me if I've read Princess Bubblegum's books in God and I said nobody and he came out to Francis and approximately two minutes later. I had a lot of got coffee and stable government. He then said that it was three types of conviction of the existence of God As the First
Is intellectual conviction and that this could be gained can reading God speaks. The second is conviction through site in this is the experience of the sixth plane for one saw him face to face and still it was not the real convictions. I think still the feeling of I am valve the Separation by seeing
But the third and highest the only real conviction.
Is Union of knowledge of oneself as the only one we said in how do you get this real conviction? This real knowledge said through surrendering everything at my feet all your good thoughts and bad all your actions all your words Give Them All to Me become dust at my feet. I will help you to do this.
Then just two. Is there anything you want to know?
And without a moment's hesitation and look at Barbara and said no bother there's nothing I want to know he smiled and said could you have had enough of words it is time now to have the knowledge of the heart.
Then he looked again at me and asked there anything you want and again without a moment's hesitation. I look at Bob and said yesterday there is something I want he went. What is it? I said Baba. I want to see you in everyone and everything always and to love you as you should be like
For the sake of others
That us mild gave the gesture Perfection and said if you want this Frame this love that you asked for.
It means that you must surrender to me. Totally. You must become dust at my feet. He said can you do this?
He said I will help you one day you will see me as I really am.
Unfortunately, I didn't ask when next time then I had a few weeks worth of gear and to break the tension. No tension Baba said why did I have a beard? I said Baba, you know, I was in Baghdad that she

That she thought she had known me and she said oh fine come tomorrow when I have tea.
And so I went the next day and she told me about Bob is saying and let me visit the room. The house hasn't been changed since problems and it's still as it is as it was in the 30s. And in fact, it's probably the first house were meetings were held in the United States 1931 for 25 years in a row every week. It was above me in that house, and I'm
Gradually, I became very close to this one.
She's sort of an invalid and I would take her to museums and Wheeler around in a wheelchair and she take me to concerts New York Philharmonic and I was allowed to clean the garden which is a garden where Bob a wolf.
And I really felt that was in two minds and on silence station. Let me especially spend a long time in his room and it was like really being and I really felt that his presence in that house and I would drive by on my bicycle every day is to through tough times a day in my daily rounds New York City and always go by that house.
I always look up to the window.
So she gave me an invitation. She had an invitation card for that darshan of 1931. And this is the space where your name was supposed to be his blanket. Was that evidently an extra one? She had left over so she gave that
So I'm honoring it now.
Rapid breathing son Chris realistic. Chris Traeger is with the society and I sent her the babri to do some work on. Oh God. I didn't know that until the other division dipping. Well, then is pretty obvious because you know, that's what Jeff said. No.
Not only feeling strongly but in a knowing that this is somebody who is known about bada probably saw a card above a Cod looks like somebody's Uncle you mean he's God.
This was here.
The United Nations is some branch and what other what other languages besides Indian languages Spanish and English and English American Australian, there are different languages brother and some some composition is infringed. Also nothing here in Italian. Is it nothing you could begin with? What is that mean devious and
So nothing means Ancient One determines effulgence ancient one soldier inside reading like they're gonna means unlimited compassion.
What is this? What is this? What is that mean? Maybe Ramona are ready so mad even makes me my name is except said no mine mine mine mine mine mine mine. I mean lying Artie arteries that comes out spontaneously except she has except except my heart is
Is the Sanskrit word for the heart except that which comes out of my heart don't hesitate if we let them free give and feel Faith.
And so we went around the side around the men's side by the gate overpass the small house to Bob as room the door was open.
And Baba was Seated on the bed.
It was hot that day and he seated with his Audra down to his waist you a couple of other people in the room. I have no idea who at this point. All I saw is we went up to the first step that room where we stopped with a baba sitting there beaming
I was arrested by The Wanderers that he actually was there that all of the reading longing in searching that it had been brought to focus on that one extraordinary moment.
In which he basically the vision of his presence and all I could do was stare.
What I saw was only then neither before nor since
Was that I saw his face looking me in the eyes beaming in this great light coming from lights so extraordinary and so we found him that it filled the entirety of my vision the space of the exact center of it beaming in tears poured down my face.
Not so much. I think an emotional response would simply physically but the intensity of light brought tears to my eyes on the force of it and I simply looked at it and are rich with a rigid my side.
I heard his voice interpreting. Bob is gestures Bob and saying that I looked tired and Dusty first thing. He said was I'm happy to see you and I recall thinking later. He's happy to see me.
That I was blessed to be there here.
Then I looked tired and Dusty I can have a hot bath.
She have a good dinner and get a good night's sleep with you can see me in the morning. And with that average. Turn me around. You walked me back over to the side.
And of course, I followed Bob is instructions to the letter. He also then said that I should read a certain chapter of God speaks before the sunset. That's specific and I sat in a chair here in the yard between the two houses between this unduly Hall and the small house adjoining and sat.
The Sun and read that chapter God speaks and fun and back up.
Now remember that there is exactly enough light in the day more to allow me to read the last sentence of that last paragraph of that length page. And if it had been any longer, we would not have been enough life. So this is my first knowing example of bothers perfect timing. I had the hot bath and a good dinner.
And somewhat Restless sleep give us where he had done great seclusion and spent so much time and I should mention that in the blue bus at that time all that. I remember that was in it was small bed. It's not the one that's there now and I was struck.
That I was asleep in that bed that Baba had himself used.
Particularly as it is the first night in more than a month that I had slept in any bit and slept only on floors and hold of the ship.
On the cement platforms of the Railway Station and it did my first bed. This is that can only be grateful early the next morning Edward woke me I washed we had breakfast together the chatted for a while Miranda.
His brothers owned and doing others and ever said well brother now it's time for the abduction. We came over here to London Lee Hall left her shoes outside and I noticed that Eric is carrying mine upset and I wondered at it and I was shown place to sit on the floor. But with Jimmy is sitting
They're cross-eyed be directly across from bottle and Irish place my knapsack next to me and I asked him. Why are you bringing in my naps? That doesn't he said I just wanted to show Baba a little you brought with you and I assumed it was because
Indians are famous for traveling with great quantities of luggage and I had a very small bad. Now this was the reason I had not told her nor anyone here that in that knapsack. I had three doses of pharmaceutical LSD. I had stopped taking other drugs, but let's see I wasn't sure about this was before Baba had ever given any public statements about it or any other drugs. I had some
Fantasy after the sahabas program
Which would have been over the end of Christmas this time of year that I would then go have gone up to Nepal and brought in the new year colorfully, but Eric's not knowing nevertheless place to nap sat next to me.
The other monthly the monthly was sitting here along the walls on both sides that time there were no Robbie's your cushions.
And through this these doors here my left suddenly. I looked over and Baba into the room wearing the white side ra with his hand resting lightly on Francis problems on and as soon as I saw him I stood and he looked at me down the length of the hall and waved me to sit down.
This is happened in those days to walk the length of the hall two or three times for his exercise for his seat in that chair and conduct what he referred to as the real news. Is this a work of his lovers in the world and I noticed my eyes fastened on him that he passed down the length of this Hall was two or three times that
Has he went I remember that along this wall Vidal was sitting in a chair my told them he had a beard Gray beard and Bob has stopped and gave his beard a little tug and that another one of the old ones that he stopped and patted his cheek, you know, these little exchanges of lung between the Beloved and his is old and somewhat higher mothers.
For all the years of service given them in spent in this company is his constant Companions and then he came in sat in that chair. We didn't have quite as fallible flower you're covering the clamp and he motioned to me jeffster. The diverse didn't have to interpret which was its to come to him from his embrace.
When I came and stood on the right side of the chair Baba reached his arms up and kiss me in both cheeks, and I kissed him in both cheeks and he looked me in the eyes smiled.
Emotions that I might mountains feet
Which I did and then doing so coming from someplace some deeper integration Within Me.
Out of the corner of my eye with my head on resting on his feet. I saw the Hem of His Garment the doorman and I reached up with my left hand and grasp it.
That moment I had the memory of his saying that we should hold on to his gumbo.
Motivated me and I thought that this is my opportunity for brief moments to do physically who I knew that was the least. What holding his Diamond really is then he motioned to me to sit down again against the wall.
And began to our church.
Speak to me from the silence. He gestured that.
He was in deep seclusion that I was blessed to be here.
He looked at me and asked me if I'd met God speaks. I said no bother but I was reading it but then I haven't completed it yet. I had it with me father said that it was good that I was reading it but I should read it again. And again until I quote felt it singing in my veins the way
Then ask me if I've read Princess Bubblegum's books in God and I said nobody and he came out to Francis and approximately two minutes later. I had a lot of got coffee and stable government. He then said that it was three types of conviction of the existence of God As the First
Is intellectual conviction and that this could be gained can reading God speaks. The second is conviction through site in this is the experience of the sixth plane for one saw him face to face and still it was not the real convictions. I think still the feeling of I am valve the Separation by seeing
But the third and highest the only real conviction.
Is Union of knowledge of oneself as the only one we said in how do you get this real conviction? This real knowledge said through surrendering everything at my feet all your good thoughts and bad all your actions all your words Give Them All to Me become dust at my feet. I will help you to do this.
Then just two. Is there anything you want to know?
And without a moment's hesitation and look at Barbara and said no bother there's nothing I want to know he smiled and said could you have had enough of words it is time now to have the knowledge of the heart.
Then he looked again at me and asked there anything you want and again without a moment's hesitation. I look at Bob and said yesterday there is something I want he went. What is it? I said Baba. I want to see you in everyone and everything always and to love you as you should be like
For the sake of others
That us mild gave the gesture Perfection and said if you want this Frame this love that you asked for.
It means that you must surrender to me. Totally. You must become dust at my feet. He said can you do this?
He said I will help you one day you will see me as I really am.
Unfortunately, I didn't ask when next time then I had a few weeks worth of gear and to break the tension. No tension Baba said why did I have a beard? I said Baba, you know, I was in Baghdad that she
