Chapter Ten:

Divine Radar

 

Soon after the holy days were passed I went to Honolulu to handle some legal matters for the Church, and was forced to spend the night on Oahu as Kauai had no night-time airport. I stayed with a recent 'ex' of a fellow devotee.

I flirted with this beautiful woman to the max, but she only laughed. I slept on the living room floor, disturbed I had been neither straight nor consoled. I had constant nightmares in fact, with monsters chasing me until finally I was gotten! I woke up in terror and without thinking called "Master." I looked at the clock, 3:04. It would be light soon and I could take the dawn jet.

I fell back asleep and into the dream state. Master Da came to my call, sat down, and gave me His knee to place my head upon. He placed His hand upon my head as well and, just like in the waking state, strong force rushed through me, like standing under a gushing waterfall.

The force rushing through me was extremely blissful, and the flow's only imperfection were ripples against the inside of my body-self. My attention was drawn within to examine this lack of flow. At last I came upon the rippling projection and it was my own contraction! The truth of the Teaching annealed itself deep in understanding. I was amazed and understood. I released the contraction and the divine Flow was uninterrupted, rushing me into uninterrupted samadhi.

I awoke at the proper time to catch the earliest jet. Grut picked me up from the airport at 7am as the last assignment of his night shift. As we were driving back to the sanctuary, Grut turned to me and inquired, "Oh, where were you just after three o'clock this morning?"

I wanted to be sure. I replied, "Why do you ask?"

"The Master woke up just after 3 and wanted to know where you were. I told him you were in Honolulu, is that right?

I told Grut that I had a nightmare and it woke me up and as I awoke I called out 'Master.'

Grut just nodded. His 'of course' disposition about the constant stream of miracles surrounding the God-Man struck me. Like the eye of the hurricane, Master Da stands perfectly still and all the energies rush and swirl in and up.

That evening I told the All-Pervading One in Person about the nightmare and the dream. He confirmed, "Yes, I heard you and gave you my knee. I was glad to help you."

Then He leaned forward and stared me eye to eye, "But I want you to use Me for a lot more than getting out of trouble."

I was in awe the entire evening. When the gathering broke into dance, I stood in the rear of the room to stretch my sore knees. People were rushing to and fro and the music began to blast. I just peered through the room and feasted my eyes upon the Living God. What kind of person hears your heart call across vast distance and comes to your help? Within the laughter and music, chattering of beers and clanging glasses, I softly whispered to myself the answer, "Master."

The Person of Love looked up across the party and found my eyes. "What?" I fell back against the wall. Again He blatantly demonstrated the primacy of the heart in matters of communication. It was no different from the night before when I called Him from the heart and apparently from afar and amazingly, miraculously, He heard me clearly.

Itold Him, "I want to give you a hug." Itoo spoke my heart. He opened His arms. The party parted and I stepped through the room, but tripped just before His chair, falling into His arms. He wrapped His arms around me for a long forever time, held my face in His hands, gave me at least one of His sloppy kisses and sent me into samadhi. Couldn't tell you what happened after that.

But this phenomena of what I call "divine radar," whereby the living god-man in person hears heart prayers, I and others experienced many times.

Iremember the first time I noticed. In 1981, we were in Land Bridge Pavilion with the Teacher of Wisdom; it was near 9 pm and we had been sitting with Him and listening to Him talk since three. He noted the lateness and asked if we weren't hungry. Amumble chorus of no's! (knowing food would be the end of the sitting occasion) and 'well, yeahs,' filled the air.

I was sitting halfway back amongst 360 voices and I saw the Master turn from me to get some water from a side table as I whispered softly to myself, 'You're the feast'.

As if the room had been silent He whirled back around and looked me straight in the eye and whispered back 'yes'.

There are endless divine radar stories surrounding the Person of the Heart and always an endless stream of blessing pouring from Him.

I forever remember a moment with Him, the day of the super bowl. Television had just come back after the storm and the Master invited all the men to his room to watch the game.

I was first to Free Standing Man. I went in through the kitchen as we always did and waited in the breakfast room, the chung room, for the rest of the guys. But the ladies in attendance in the kitchen motioned for me to go on to His bedroom.

I didn't want to go alone. The evening before I had been roasted to a crystalline black and feared what He might say to me alone. But I was ushered along and I remember turning the corner in fear and watching Him look up in love.

Volumes and simplicity were communicated to me, I remember knowing deeply that there is only this moment to love or not. No past, only won't you enter now into love? No future needed: only won't you join me in love with the Person of Love?

He was tapping cigarettes for His devotees so that they would already be ready to celebrate with gifts from Him; He offered me one and lit it for me, asking, "Who are you rooting for today?" I told Him the underdog Washington and we talked football bullshit for a couple of minutes. He was so sweet. By the Grace of the Master, this lesson on freedom stayed and grows in me. No past or future; only will I now enter into love?

 

 


95.

 

The Transcendental Self is Pure Radiance.

The Heart-Space is Bright with Bliss.

The crystal and the mirror and the mind reflect a light beyond, but the Heart is inherently Bright

with the Bliss of Divine Being.

In the Heart there is no doubt of God.
