Dearest Students, For those of you who make the effort to visit the Open Classroom (even if you do not participate) I have a special message for you. You can find it by clicking here: a special message (if you have trouble opening the link, let me know). This message can only be accessed through this link and cannot be publicly viewed, even though it is on my website.
When you are in the Open Classroom, you are in the presence of people who, like yourself, are dedicated to higher truth - to being free - becoming conscious. We are not meant to do our spiritual work in isolation. We were not born in caves. We were born amongst other human beings. Our interactions with other human beings help us to see ourselves - as we are, as we are not, and as we long to be. In the Open Classroom, you may experience the same kinds of thoughts and emotions that you do in your ordinary life....except that here you are in a safe and protected environment, where fears and embarrassments have the opportunity to be healed.
So do your best not to let your fear of being embarrassed or exposing yourself stop you from expressing here. Be selfish! Let your spiritual growth be what matters. Because, I promise you, it IS what matters. Your evolution is part of the evolution of all humankind. As you grow in peace, you naturally share this peace with the world.
The other day I was with a little seven year old girl who wanted to sing me a song she had written, but she was too afraid. I said to her, "You can be afraid AND you can sing your song." She tried again, but she said the words wouldn't come out, because she was too embarrassed, and I said, "You can feel embarrassed and you can still sing your song. Feeling embarrassed doesn't have to stop you from doing what you want to do." After that, she sang like a bird. And her song was amazing.
So this Easter and everyday, sing your song! Sing like a bird, free and lovely, just because you can!

Dear IndirA;
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely words and also for your special message.
I loved this story also from your book.
I had wonderful Eastern. It was a miracle to see how from a long wintertime with a lot of snow suddenly the spring exploded.
We had the most wonderful weather. Since 12 days sun all the day and suddenly within 3 or 4 days all the nature blossoms, the trees became green, the buds were coming out and became colourful blooms.
I even heard how the buds were sprouting and cracking while springing out becoming flowers. I watches this amazing change in nature.
What a miracle, enrgy and joy. Also the birds were coming and singing.
All nature is celebrating God.
Love to everybody!
Elisabeth
Dear Elisabeth, What beautiful writing. It is nice to share the feeling of joy that comes through your words. Yes, nature is a perfect manifestation of God for me also. Thank you for sharing spring in Munchen with all of us.
