There are some experiences that I thought I would never share. Mainly because they are beyond what we call common sense, but also because they might disturb others. The purpose of this testimonial is not to scare anyone, but to show gratitude to Mohanji, who has done everything to protect and save me. May this serve as a testimonial to Mohanji’s love and compassion, and to how powerful a connection to a Great Master can be in one’s life.
Over 20 years ago, I had a profound spiritual experience. It was a spontaneous kundalini awakening, where I experienced myself and the world as unconditional love. Only love was real. I will not go into describing that state now, but what followed.
After about a month of more or less blissful state, what came next was the complete opposite. I was exposed to negative forces; I could hear them and feel them, and was pulled into the whirlpool of fear, while for everyone else it seemed as if I was losing my mind. My family forced me to take medications for two years, as they had no idea what else to do with me. It was a horrible state, where I felt completely helpless, plant-like. Right after those two years, I met Mohanji.
At first, these things seemed to be behind me. I was able to connect to Mohanji, volunteer, spread his teachings, and things in my life started opening up. I moved to different countries and gained amazing experiences, but that also meant I couldn’t see Mohanji regularly.
On those rare occasions when I had a chance to take part in some program, I would have breakthroughs in awareness, as all people do. But after that, strange experiences would come, and I would again end up in total mental confusion and fear. Those periods would take time to fade on their own as I would push myself to continue with my life, but after almost every retreat the same thing would happen: voices, scary experiences, disorientation…
Then, right before the pandemic, I took part in another powerful program with Mohanji. The same thing followed, and this time Mohanji told me to seek help from MTM (Mohanji Transformation Method). I did a couple of sessions, and of course, negative forces were at work. To break this thread, which was going on across many lifetimes, Mohanji gave a part of his soul for me. I don’t think there is anything bigger someone can do for another being. I can’t even imagine what level of compassion that requires. And I wouldn’t even be aware of it if it had not been for an MTM practitioner who narrated it to me: such complete selflessness and absolute love.
Anyway, Mohanji said I should continue with the sessions, but somehow I couldn’t get sessions done with MTM and Mai-Tri practitioners. It was not the first time something like this happened to me, making me feel as if the whole world was against me. But he said not to give up and chose Elham as the right person for the job.
Elham was amazing: completely fearless and in full surrender. We started with 3 sessions a day and continued for several weeks. She kept removing hundreds of beings from my system, devices they installed on me, and even a portal I had within me through which they were passing. It was like the most surreal sci-fi.
During that cleansing period, I was just shaking in fear; it was so overwhelming. One of those beings was there to manipulate my voice, so the words I said would be misunderstood, or the intention misinterpreted. Other things served to amplify my emotional response to past-life experiences. Others were there to prevent me from remembering my true power and strength.
Each time Elham would do the session, they would try to intimidate and attack her, but they could not do anything to her. She is so deeply connected to Mohanji and in full surrender that she had zero fear. That is why she could do it. She had a full understanding that she wasn’t the doer, but that it was Mohanji at work, an entire army on him. And they didn’t have a chance, cause he is far greater than any army. Finally, after a couple of months, I was cleansed.
It did not feel like it, though. It took some months to get back on my feet and start anew. It was not an easy process, and what helped me most in those days was the service. I had no motivation to get up in the morning and welcome the new day; the only thing that pushed me was helping others. Through ACT, I was able to gain new meaning in life and rebuild myself from scratch. The power of service is so underestimated.
Mohanji keeps reminding us that we are doing it for ourselves, and that the purity and freedom it gives us are priceless and cannot be found in other aspects of our life. That was my salvation path.
During that period, I also had to work on installing Mohanji deep within my heart. Because a mental connection is one thing, and it might fluctuate, but the really big change comes when we place our Master at the centre of our being and become one with him.
Another thing that helped me on that journey was the Empowered series, especially part 3. I was finally able to overcome my fears and enter a state of complete witnesshood, where I no longer identified with my emotions and states. That brought an immense sense of freedom and power.
The reason for sharing this now is mainly to show by my own example how important the connection with Mohanji is for us. He saved my life several times, but he also saved my soul, which is much more meaningful. He sacrificed a part of himself for me and asked for nothing in return; that is how selfless he is. I cannot even comprehend the level of love and compassion that he has for us. Since we are often unaware of all the things he does for us, it is useful to remind ourselves always to maintain the light of gratitude within our hearts, no matter what hardships come our way.
We cannot be aware of what lies within us or what awaits us. These things are often hidden beneath the surface, and we aren’t aware of them. I was both a sinner and a saint through many lives, just like everyone else, and I even walked alongside a powerful Master. But when a true chance for liberation appeared in front of me, that was when things got nasty. In such situations, all we can do is hold on tight. The main thing these beings were trying to do was to pull me away from Mohanji and the path. So, if we hold on tight, with Mohanji by our side, any storm can be weathered.
Endless gratitude to Mohanji, who crossed many worlds to find me and save me. May his Light continue to uplift many across the centuries.
