I AM the Witness

 

Dear Mother,

I wanted to witness to the power of El Morya working through you. I am so grateful for the following experience, which I have cherished over the years while on staff. It’s been nine years but this is how I remember it.

It was one of my first years on staff and in the Graphic Arts department. I was new to the Teachings and was a bit sassy and ambitious. During the production of the book The Sacred Adventure, I was assigned to xerox the camera copy for the whole book cover to cover.

As I carried the plastic file cabinet full of camera copy to the main xerox in another building, my pride was whining. I was feeling quite sorry for myself because I was assigned to a menial task instead of being involved in the real meat of production on the book.

There was a picture of El Morya adjacent to the xerox machine and it came alive every time I looked over at it. The longer I was in the room, the more real it seemed. It made me a bit nervous, as I knew that I was not in the right vibration. Finally, in my impertinence, I muttered something like “Yeah, yeah, El Morya, I know I’m out of alignment but who will ever know?”  As if obedience was enough!

After finishing xeroxing, I returned to Graphics and delivered the xeroxes to the appropriate people. Later that day I was called to meet with the head editor. She explained that she had just left from meeting with you on The Sacred Adventure.  As you were looking at the xeroxes, you discovered pages out of order that did not read right in the Prologue; the pages were also marked incorrectly. The message from El Morya for the person(s) who worked on the project was “You are out of alignment!”

For a new chela on the Path, it was a very powerful experience!  And the lesson taught me about the very real presence of our Guru with us always. By God’s grace, I’m still in Graphics and deeply grateful for the privilege to work on any aspect of the publications!

In gratitude for God’s Presence with us!
