Oatmeal

Siddhananda: OK (Showing a crystal clear stone with yellow edges) There we go. OK, i don't know why but I heard "oatmeal."

G: Oatmeal? (laughing) Are you hungry?

Siddhananda: I'm feeling mushy? I don't know, I heard oatmeal.

G: Oatmeal

Siddhananda: I just put out what's there

G: It can only go up from here (laughing)

Siddhananda: Hopefully it's got brown sugar on it (laughing)

G: (laughing) Oatmeal.. Okay

Siddhananda: Ok, so, what about [oatmeal]

G: What about oatmeal (laughing)

Siddhananda: (laughing) We'll see what else is there [with] that? if it means anything at all? Oatmeal! They like oat­meal..Okay

G: Okay, that's good. I'm glad you like oat­meal. I guess you (Siddhananda) like cherry blossoms, they like oatmeal.

Siddhananda: They like oat­meal

G: So, there you go.

Siddhananda: Hey, i like oat­meal too! so, anyway. Oatmeal's nice on a cold morning. (smiling)

G: That it is (laughing)

Siddhananda: (laughing) OK, so, let's try to get at least a little bit deeper.

G: Can we get a little deeper, yes (laughing)

Siddhananda: (pausing with closed eyes) I think there is something with that Oat­meal, but i think it is a little bit of... I don't want to say mush, but kind of (pause) mushy, i mean. Does that
make sense?

G: Yeah. It's mushy in what way?

Siddhananda: (pause) They just don't feel they have the life...

G: Ok

Siddhananda: The life that they...

G: Aha (nodding)

Siddhananda: Their true life potential,  (both hands on the heart) life in there.

G: Aha

Siddhananda: it's just kind of mushy old thing.

G: Yeah

Siddhananda: They like oatmeal, they just...

G: They don't have any real kind of convictions and stuff.

Siddhananda: well yes, it's just not...

G: Maybe they have kind of gone along with the program or something.

Siddhananda: Let's see..

G: Yeah

Siddhananda: It's sounding like it's part of their character.

G: Yeah

Siddhananda: ...but nothing they really can say is their heart and soul.

G: Aha

Siddhananda: ..maybe passion even.

G: Right

Siddhananda: Something that gives them that fire.

G: Right... So, what i would say for this one is they need to take birth again and find something to hold to.

Siddhananda: Makes sense

G: Find something they can have some conviction about.

Siddhananda: And, i'm hearing some joy about.

G: And some joy.

Spirit ­ ..the joy is gone, in my ways.

G: Yeah, so, we'll ask if the guides and masters on the other side would come and council this one.

Siddhananda: perfect!

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: (pause) I do see them coming around a bowl of oatmeal.

G: Yeah

Siddhananda: but, it's Ok.. just teasing, no. (smiling)

G: (smiling)

Siddhananda: It's just kind of that image is there, but, i mean, to have that fade­ away.

G: Right, right, they're surrounding him, yeah.

Siddhananda: Yeah, That's all that they need..

G: Yeah

Siddhananda: ..that particular feeling that he has within himself

G: Right

Siddhananda: ..and that is starting to [fade]... always a good thing I see is images begin to start dissolving/fading..

G: Right

Siddhananda: ... as a new energy begins to emerge...

G: Right

Siddhananda: (pause) and i do feel a surrounding of that "love"

G: Yeah

Siddhananda: It's very nice

G: Yeah, he needs to gain some backbone. He's lost his backbone somewhere along the way.

Siddhananda: There, i think you said it perfectly. That was exactly what this was about

G: Yeah, yeah. He kind of became trampled in life and lost his backbone and lost his word.

Siddhananda: Just almost gave up.

G: yeah, he gave up, he gave up. He was domineered by something or someone, and just...

Siddhananda: Lost his fight, lost his strength.

G: Yeah, yeah

Siddhananda: Anything, that holds him

G: Right, he needs to gain some of that back.

Siddhananda: Right

G: ..in a good way.

Siddhananda: Right, and i think this love will help him, as you were saying, take on a new form eventually, it will guide him in a good direction.

G: Right, so, he will get to take rebirth again and gain that back.

Siddhananda: I think that's good

G: Thank you for coming (gesturing Namaste)

Siddhananda: (gesturing Namaste) Thank you.. Ok, you never know what the first thing is going to be.

G: Well, you have to say that oatmeal was one of the most unusual ones we've gotten 
(laughing)

Siddhananda: (laughing) i guess it was just the way they convey their message.

G: Yeah, It's always interesting.

Siddhananda: Interesting, if anything.
