THE FOURTH GLOBAL CONGRESS OF SPIRITUAL SCIENTISTS 2011
October 1

Brahmarshi Patriji

Patriji started the GCSS sessions in his own inimitable style of energetic simplicity. People responded to his unreserved warmth with ease. He began by stressing on the ancient wisdom of ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ and ‘Tat Twam Asi’ to remind us that we are all Gods. Hence we are all creators. We are creators of our own reality. Once we understand that we are Gods and creators of what we choose we can ‘declare’ to be Spiritual Scientists’. It is not a designation given to us by anyone…we have to ‘KNOW’ it.
Patriji explained that the movement he founded – PSSM was after reading ‘Secret Power of Pyramids’ and experimenting with it himself. This movement is dedicated to spreading Anapanasati Meditation and Vegetarianism. Both are inseparably interlinked. All can solve their problems through Meditation. Today there are over 20,000 Pyramid Centres across India and the globe.

He pointed out that there are five simple ways to intensify Meditation for maximum benefits:

Jasmuheen

On the very first day of GCSS, the President –Jasmuheen, spoke very lovingly about five ‘Pathways of Peace’ in her session. She stressed on the need for people to understand the Science of Energy. Energy is never created or destroyed. It only changes form. We have a choice to harvest this energy in different ways. Here are the five ways Jasmuheen discussed in her session and wanted everybody to understand the following Peace Pathways:

Path of the Law and Rhythm of energy:
We all have our own energy rhythm. Meditation is a powerful tool to change the rhythm we carry. For example, if we tell our physical bodies to take nourishment from the surrounding cosmic energy, we are no longer hungry and we become self regenerating system of energy. We can become givers of energy rather than takers of energy.

Path of Blessing: 
Say goodbye to yesterday and the past while honoring it and give future a perfect frequency. Change your energy into the feeling of gratefulness. Understand the ‘Law of Resonance’ which states that ‘like attracts like’. When we live with an ‘attitude of gratitude’ we attract the best of energies.

Path of conscious choice of claiming space:
If we choose to manifest something which is for the highest good of all we can exist in mutually enhancing energy flows.

Path of Oneness:
Realise the ‘law of One’ and the field that interconnects everything as the ‘Atman’ and pure love. Seek absolute unification of lower and higher self.

Path of Love:
As you surrender to the ‘Law of Love’ it changes everything into itself! We should be flexible, fluid and holders of joyous energy.

Jasmuheen ended her session with a gentle reminder not to accept anything if it creates limitations because in our true essence we are limitless. Her message is to use mind as a servant and Master it.

Dr. Susan Shumsky

Dr Shumsky spoke as only a Master from deep experience of truth can speak – very simply and very profoundly. Her topic was "How to Hear the Divine Voice Within," and her specialty is helping people to listen to that inner divine voice, to experience the divine presence, and to follow inner divine guidance. She explained that there are two aspects of inner divinity, the personal or divinity in form, and the impersonal, or the formless absolute. Our ‘mind’ is the movable part of our outer and inner life composed of our physical body and spirit environment.

We all are surrounded by benevolent cosmic energies, divine beings, spiritual masters, and deities. To connect with higher spiritual energies, hear their voice and receive guidance from them – all we have to do is ASK. They do not come on their own without asking.

The signposts to this inner divine journey are as follows:
1. Inner Divine Contact: Can be made with both impersonal and personal Gods
2. Inner Divine Name: Can be given to any personal God that one wishes to contact
3. Inner Divine Signal: It can come in any of the following six forms:

  a. Seeing: Visual- light, star, rose, sunrise, face or figure of a deity, etc
  b. Hearing: Auditory- Rustling leaves, rushing water, bells, harps, angelic voices, om sound, birds singing, etc
  c. Smelling: Olfactory- Fragrance of jasmine, sandalwood, gardenia, rose, etc
  d. Tasting: Gustatory- Pleasant flavors in the mouth
  e. Feeling: Kinesthetic- Rushes of energy, hair standing on end, goose bumps, heat, cool breeze, tingling,   spiraling sensation, etc
  f. Involuntary Movement: Eyes rolling back, head or any other body part's movement, shaking, etc

During meditation, when one receives any of these signals one should ask for the name of the divine being who’s trying to contact the person. If we have the name and the signal, then we should ask for the message.
We have to make sure we receive messages from the Spiritual plane only. There are four planes of existence:
  i. Spiritual
  ii. Mental
  iii. Astral
  iv. Environmental

It is best to receive messages from Spiritual planes only.

4. Inner Divine Message: This can come through in three ways too:
   a. Seeing: Clairvoyance – visual experience
   b. Hearing: Clairaudient – auditory experience
   c. Feeling: Clairsentience – kinesthetic experience

These are the four ways in which we have a breakthrough from our ego and experience what we are – the ‘atman’. When we do that, we may have one of these experiences or not:

i. Rush of energy
ii. Tingling or chills
iii. Light headedness
iv. Love feelings
v. Warmth or Cold
vi. Electrical currents
vii. Involuntary laughter /tears etc
viii. Deep relaxation
ix. Swaying/ rocking
x. Cleansing of emotional body
xi. Inner ecstasy or rapture
xii. Celestial fragrances or taste.

If one had to summarize what she wanted to convey today it would be – we all are surrounded by benevolent cosmic energies and to receive guidance from them – all we have to do is ASK. We have to watch out for only one thing – Fortune telling is NOT allowed. So no ‘will I get this /will that happen… all will I’ questions should be avoided in seeking answers and guidance.

Susan’s lecture was followed by an experiential session of guided meditation session in which participants were very carefully led into a profoundly deep visualization and encouraged to seek divine signals and receive messages. She then shared the message she received from her divine guru ‘Babaji’ with all of us and very lovingly guided us back from one of the most wonderful meditational experiences. When we opened our eyes we could look straight into the deep eyes of ‘Babaji’ in a very rarely seen photograph that Susan had put up on the video panels on both sides of the centre stage. It was as if ‘Babaji’ could see directly inside our souls and knew what blessing each of us needed! All of us present were indebted to Dr. Shumsky for opening the portals of divine communication and making us aware of ‘How to Hear the Voice of God’ right on the first day of GCSS.
