Dear
Beloveds,
I am home from the South Pacific with an incredible perspective on life. I've learned
how the Divine Presence works in us, as us and though us, to help manifest our thoughts,
intentions, and efforts. Positive change
always begins with the individual but we do get help along the way.
Sri Anandagiriji, Sri Amma Bhagavan, and all the wonderful Dasas say there are three factors
involved to make positive change in our personal journeys as well as the planet:
- Intent
- Effort
- Divine
Grace/Divine Intervention
When we desire
to make change in our lives, it is about creating a shift in our own perception not changing another’s
perception or making external changes. The intervention happens first with intent and
effort. This means taking action toward a goal. It is not about forcing a shift in everyone
else’s perception about reality.
When Intent and Effort are added to Divine Grace, we are filled with love and are able to
resonate at a higher vibratory level to ideas that will instantly manifest around us. This is when we become
an instrument of change. This self-awareness is the beginning of world peace, healing a relationship
or having greater clarity in decision making.
The Divine Presence is available to everyone at any time. We need to practice awareness and
express constant gratitude for the Divine. Ask the Divine to help you when you hit a bump in the
road. Most people have lost touch with this simple way to navigate through life, as they are
weighed down with suffering, naming their pain, and attached to the emotional charges from old
circumstances that cloud their reality.
At the Oneness University we experienced grace pouring into us over and over again in the
form of meditative states, bliss, prayer, nature, or the Divine Mother's presence. The spiritual
teachings were extraordinary. Many of us had mystical experiences. There will never be any doubt in
my mind that the Divine is real and at work in our lives. It is an intelligence that loves us
unconditionally. Remember, our relationship with the Divine is natural. It is a constant dialogue that
invites the flow of Grace. This conversation brings us to the threshold of Oneness where there is no longer
a sense of separation and personal suffering. All that remains is causeless love, joy, and peace in the
present moment.
I feel so happy and honored to bring
back this energetic transmission from Fiji and India to
help you experience your own potential. This month, we will be putting together some new programs that
will make the Blessing available to you easily. We'll also work on a new website homepage
with a schedule Deeksha events.
Meanwhile, our office is sending out a few wonderful offers and news items that you may
enjoy!
May you be enfolded in peace and contentment during the early days of spring. May
Grace be with you so that you may live, enjoy, and feel joy today.
In Oneness,
Sponsor

Receive a Free E- Blessing by Intention
just by being on our list!
Before Charlene sends out each
monthly newsletter, she gives everyone on her e-list a Oneness Blessing (Oneness Deeksha) by intention for
healing and peace. The Blessing is a transference of intelligent, sacred energy which causes the
heart to open. It brings a shift in perception and the realization that the sense of a separate self is
an illusion. Deeksha can also help heal relationships and open the door to higher states of awareness.
If you are reading this
newsletter, please note that the Divine Presence is at work in your life. Take a moment to connect
to Source, in whatever wisdom tradition that makes sense to you. Feel gratitude for the
magnificence of the universe. Be open to receive Grace that has been sent your way with a loving
intention.
If you would like to experience the Blessing in a smaller and more personal setting, please
contact our office for blessings events coming soon. Check our homepage for Spiritual Salons and
Deekshas with Charlene!
