I AM the Witness

“I Claim the Mantle of Beloved Lady Master Maria Montessori!”

 

Beloved Guru Ma,

 This year has been a year of awakening for me more than any other since I first stepped on the Path fifteen years ago.

 Last August, while preparing to open a new Montessori preschool program, I affirmed in a very strong way, “I claim the mantle of Beloved Lady Master Maria Montessori!”  At that moment I felt the strength, the comfort, the determination and all it would take to do the work and to persevere. I felt as though I could see the victory from the beginning. I knew with her help, and only with her help, I could do it.

 This awakening gave me the experience of bearing the mantle of an Ascended Master. It was very real and tangible every day of the year. It was as though the Ascended Lady Master Maria Montessori had lent me her eyes to see and arrange every detail of the classroom with the beauty and order that she herself would demand. The discrimination I used seemed not to be mine but hers. It was as though she had lent me her heart to love each child in a way that would help the total child to grow the most.

 Through this humble and private experience, beloved Mother, I have  come to see and understand more about the mantle you bear. This awakening has brought me closer to you and has made me feel more deeply indebted to you for showing the way.

All my love,
