Returning to Goloka

when our subtle bodies are poorly formed. Guru Dev said that this defect in
the subtle bodies is present in almost everyone today.
In time, Guru Dev gave me a number of techniques, which he designed
to repair the defect in the subtle bodies that makes communication with the
Divine extremely difficult. Once we have restored the full functionality of our
subtle bodies, we spontaneously “know” the mind of Lord Brahma, the
Creator. This is Brahman Consciousness where everything we do is in accord
with the will of God and our lives become a blessing to all that we come into
contact.
One of the first aspects of the techniques he gave to me is to
systematically become acquainted with all the important celestial beings. I met
Ganesha, Indra, and all the Grahas (Budha, Kuja, Surya, Chandra, Brihaspiti,
Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu) and also the gatekeepers for the universe, Jaya
and Vijaya. Lord Krishna became my constant companion on the vijñamaya
plane as did Guru Dev. Mary continued to provide guidance and care and Jesus
gave me some very important advice: he told me that I must not doubt what
has happened to me because doubts will delay my progress.
One important thing I had learned is that the rakshasas and asuras
dominate and control. They will come on nicely at first, but once they get in,
they turn nasty and try to control you against your will. You are constantly
fighting with them because they want you to do something that is against your
better judgment or harmful to yourself or others. The whole relationship is
based on fear. If you ask for help, there is always a price. It is a master/slave
relationship. If you want out of the relationship, that is too bad. They will not
let go of their “property.”
