Question:
This week’s Silent Retreat has a remote participant – how does that work?
Almine:
Somewhere in the forests of Belarus, one of our Lightfamily, a light-filled brother with devotion in his heart, is sitting in silent solitude in support of our retreat. Due to circumstances he could not control, he’s unable to attend with the other fourteen Russian speaking students who are here this week. He’s fasting for seven days as a sign of his commitment; using no food and water. But although Viktor may be in the forest, I feel him with us every day. I bless and pray for him every day and know he is sharing in the profound changes the other participants are. The students have come from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Prague and Belgium. They know that Viktor would be with us if he could, and their prayers are with him too.
Question:
As Almine does her morning blessings during the silent retreat, do those of us unable to go to her retreats and thankfully at least can listen to any sharings from the retreat… are we receiving the blessings as well?
Almine:
Our Lightfamily are like mountaineers climbing a mountain, connected by a rope. Eventually when the student is ready, he or she is pulled up by those in front. However, it could happen more immediately… but daily activities make non-participants less receptive. It crowds out the subtle feelings – unless someone joins the silence in the way that Viktor in Belarus is doing.
Greetings dear Almine, When one being prays for the highest good and wisdom of all within one’s purity of heart and intention it is received into the collective consciousness and benefits all. When prayers are sent with love for all within one’s heart it creates positive changes within Mother Earth and for all of her children even for those who remains within their darkness. If we are to bring positive changes into this world we must be the change we need to be first. I thank Viktor for his offering of love in a place of purity in the forest where Nature connects all. I love you all my brothers and sisters.
What benefits one benefits all as long as they are open and in alignment with the intention of the one praying.
