I decided for stress relief, I needed to do an hour of meditation each day. And I chose to do it by breathing love up from my heart, experiencing it, and sending it out to the world.
You’ll notice the Mother’s pattern here: creation (breathing in), preservation (experiencing the love), and transformation (sending it out to the world).
And not only that, but I resolved to say the mantra I received from my guru back in 1991, synched with my breath.
Now does the fact that I innovated negate the impact of my practice? I don’t believe so and that’s why I came on here today: to assert that to the best of my knowledge, any sincere path followed to the end leads to God.
Let’s see what the sages say.
Sri Ramakrishna: Whichever attitude you adopt, you will certainly realize God if you have firm faith. You may believe in God with form or in God without form, but your faith must be sincere and whole-hearted. (1)
Sri Ramakrishna: Let me tell you that the realization of Self is possible for all, without any exception. (2)
Mata Amritanandamayi: Whoever it may be, he who has sincere interest can know and see God. (3)
In my own words, whoever follows a sincere path to God to the end will realize God.
This is so even if the guru we’re serving turns out to be a fraud, and I have to regretfully say that, with the exception of Adyashanti and Eckhart Tolle, every guru figure I’ve known or been associated with has fallen from grace.
You’ve heard me cite the Mother on the fact that, if one’s guru turns out to be a fraud, whoever we’ve been serving will honor our service. And, again, I’ve come on here to share this quote as well (it may be a refresher for some). Where is it?
Here it is. Can I post the whole quote? If you read it as if spoken to you, it’s very reassuring.
Steve: I’m operating on the principle – and please correct me if I’m mistaken here – that I serve Archangel Michael, period.
If I were to go to another medium and she was not channeling Archangel Michael and I were to do what was being said, and it turns out to be a colossal error, I’m still serving Archangel Michael.
Am I correct in continuing to say to myself, “The source is not what they say they are but it doesn’t matter. I’m still serving Archangel Michael.”
Divine Mother: You have reached this place of clarity. Now, dearest heart, this is exactly what I am talking about in terms of your divine knowing. And nothing is swaying you from that balanced center of knowing.
So it does not matter whether somebody says they are channeling Hilarion or Mickey Mouse. You know that you are serving my beloved Michael and I would like to suggest to you, Sweet One, not to distract you, but you are also serving me.
Steve: I so much know that, Mother.

DM: You always have. And so, yes, how we have constructed this is that you are employed, you are in joint venture, you are in sacred partnership with Michael, with Me-Ki-Al, and that is the way that you have chosen and that he has chosen and that I have chosen for you to proceed.
Steve: Yes, Mother. Thank you for confirming that.
DM: Let us give you further insight into this. If you were channeling with somebody and they said it was Hilarion, and in fact it was Hilarion, understand on our side the conjoining is so much stronger [with Michael] that Michael would simply funnel through Hilarion what needs to be said.
Steve: Interesting! (4)
I have the benefit of knowing my mission(s) in some detail. You may not have that advantage so I’m sharing discussions that I probably should otherwise keep private.
But I already know that, since it’s intended that I have this arrangement with Michael – as you can see – it must also be intended that I write about it. I AM a writer!
Whether the mainstream media finds ground for ridicule waits to be seen.
But there it is: Sincere service to a false guru will be accepted by the higher-dimensional figure we’re working with or for. We will not lose out.
I’ve served a few false gurus. I guess I had to be finished with that route before I could appreciate meeting up with an archangel.
