Ask for Liberation

Siddhananda: (Showing a small lingam) We have another one! (referring to previous stone being a linga as well)

G: Oh, another linga, okay (laughing). Hopefully, that one was listening in.

Siddhananda: (laughing) (the linga rolls) Where'd it go! It rolled under the computer, it left for a minute. I don't know how these things move, but they do. They have feet or something, I tell you! All the sudden they're there and then they're somewhere else (laughing)

G: (laughing) 

Siddhananda: Maybe it was trying to hide under there, but, I don't know. We'll find out (laughing) I'm hearing that they do want to shrink a little after that [last spirit's session] because they're in the lingam and they don't feel like they can meet that or match up with that one (referring to previous spirit that was contemplating lingam and yoni)

G: (laughing hard)

Siddhananda: So, they don't even know, if they should go back to where they came from (laughing).. They're glad you're laughing, but that's the way they feel. They wanted to roll right under the computer as if they were never ever here. (laughing)

G: [It was like] "i was going to come and share all my great wisdom, and now i'm like hiding and hoping they wont' see me" (gesturing hiding under desk) (laughing)

Siddhananda: That's the thing, and he came in a lingam and he's just like "Oh, No!" (laughing)

G: That's so funny!

Siddhananda: He's glad you're laughing. He's glad we're laughing.

G: Tell them it's okay (laughing)

Siddhananda: Yeah. Okay, let's see.. (pause) i'm seeing the image of a householder and it sounds like he's done all those things, [rituals] to Ganesha where they're just wanting good things for themselves (smiling)

G: Right, exactly

Siddhananda: He doesn't see the cosmos in the lingam, i just see a happy household. I mean, he was a good husband and raised his kids, but, in that old traditional way of "give me, give me" and all the stuff that they do

G: Right

Siddhananda: So, he's just [saying] "Help me, please!". He's saying "After that example, my goodness. I really see where this can go and what I've [missed]. I've just not been in the heart of it at all"

G: Right. Now, see the Universe set that up so that's what he can follow (laughing) You may want to aim a little higher next time (teasing)

Siddhananda: He's like "that's in there, this whole thing!" (referring to the deeper message of lingam and yoni), He's like "My God, that's what that was about? I was just doing it as a rote thing"

G: Exactly, it's like "Ganesh, let me have good house, let me have good business, let me have sons..", I know the whole trip

Siddhananda: That's exactly it. He did all of that and he was pretty heavy into it, just like any of them.

G: Yeah, it's the thing, they're asking for gifts, they're not asking for the wisdom, they're not asking for enlightenment

Siddhananda: Right

G: So, this next time, ask the Ganesh for the deeper things, so that he can see that it leads to freedom, liberation in motion on all levels.

Siddhananda: (pause) He is on his knees, he's crying, actually. He didn't know what he was doing.. He knew that it was selfish, but, he did not know that [deeper meaning]. He just didn't do it, he's lost that chance.

G: Right. Well, he can have another chance. He can come in again, he can have another chance. But, this time, aim for higher things, ask for liberation,  don't ask for the physical stuff, ask for the things of the spirit.

Siddhananda: (pause) and i'm seeing a lingam coming up in my mind with a flower, like he's wanting to flower that, he's wanting to take that in a different way. I do see a cup he's holding [like] he wants to drink it in a different way. He didn't know and he's glad [he knows now], it was hard for him to hear that from the one that came before, but, it really jolted him.

G: Exactly, it's what he needed to see, that's called Grace! (laughing)

Siddhananda: "Yes, I see how Grace works, it's hard hitting, it's hard", he says.

G: It is hard. But, if he's ready, he can come in and ask for a teacher, ask sincerely for a Guru from his heart and he'll find a Guru in this next life time. Don't miss the opportunity again.

Siddhananda: (pause) Yes, so, he's wanting to know what practices he should be doing.

G: Yeah, he can do the COS,

Siddhananda: He's very grateful for that and he's bowing. He's got his rudraksha beads, his mala beads in his hand and he's holding them to his heart, he's crying and he's sad that he didn't honor that light the way he should have.

G: That's ok, just tell him "Don't be sad, you'll have another chance. That's why you're here. He's a good man and that's why you're here and you got the Grace to do it now."

Siddhananda: Yes, he's a good man and he tried to do the best with the rituals that he did, he just didn't know.

G: Exactly, he was just ignorant, he didn't know. He's a good man, so, now the Light has come, this opportunity has come. 

Siddhananda: And, he's offering you a flower and he's offering his heart as if to say i will sincerely try now, and saying thank you.

G: Thank you for coming (gesturing namaste)

Siddhananda: Boy, that worked out well! (smiling)

G: Yeah (smiling)
