Devotees Who Win, Why Some Fail

First off let us define that a devotee may be a devotee of Rasa, but

ultimately, he is the devotee of God. His relationship with Rasa is a

reflection of the big picture, the one where he and God unite, and

although it may seem to human eyes a man or woman relation to a

minister or shaman, it is a man or woman relating to God; for the Guru

is sent by God, empowered by God, and what the devotee does or does

not do is an absolute and accurate reflection of what he or she does

with God. Make no mistake about this, this is an ironclad doctrine.

If you speak seriously with anyone who knows the Guru/disciple

tradition within Yoga, you will know this is truth.



The Devotee and his Fetish



I can give you an example. A former associate of mine who was de

facto devotee although he never humbled himself to say it, was rescued

from a terrible relationship. When he recovered he was told not to

return to this woman. This man was struggled with and counseled much,

and never gave any donation although he had inherited money, which the

Guru prayed he would get. Meanwhile, he started going to the Catholic

Church again, and congratulated himself that he was right with God.

The plot thickens. Now recovered due to help from Guru, he has in a

few months spent his inheritance, and now, he says to save money,

moves in with the lady of the bad relationship. He, at least,

temporarily, is doomed. The Guru will not even speak with him as he

has committed great sin against HIMSELF. The delusion that he was

right with God for going to Church did not fool the Guru - because the

Church did not discipline him, or forbid him to do wrong. The Church

is a building which does not hold him accountable for his actions, he

can hide himself while sitting there, but the Guru saw what he was

doing, and as Jesus said,

`Whose sins you forgive shall be forgiven, whose sins you retain will

be retained.



This man is now under judgment from God.



I have learned one thing for sure that is the primary reasons

spiritual souls fail. In fact, I can think of no other, and that is

THE WORLD AND THE FLESH. The world and the flesh are not evil in

themselves, but yet, why then would being in this spirit, without

being born again, guarantee the destruction of the soul? Indeed, it

is a fact, that one who remains in the spirit of the world and the

flesh will be trapped there, and at the end of their life, they will

see they are trapped and the fires of hell will raise up around them.



Be aware that the world and the flesh is the stomping ground

and the deployment area of Satan. Although Satan roams

the world everywhere, and does target the holy and just as much or

even more so than the worldly, he has great power in the world and the

flesh, and less power with those who are in the Spirit of God.



When the devil wants to destroy, waylay or drag into sin a holy soul,

he does so in stages, by dragging them into the world and the flesh.

You could be saved and born again, and if you stand on your baptismal

graces, and hold onto the armor of God, he cannot touch you. But if

he pulls you away from God by getting your mind off God and onto the

cares, concerns and pleasures of the world, including most of all,

relationships of the world and the flesh, the next thing that happens

is a veil or cloak of darkness can be put upon you. When your mind

sinks down, it leaves the arena of grace which was given you, and now,

you enter into another spirit, which does not seem mean or cruel at

first, but benign. However, after a while, you will see there is

death in this spirit, as it is temporal, and by associating with this

lower spirit, not of grace, you will be spinning your wheels, make a

treadmill of your time, and go around in circles seeking to satisfy an

ever-hungry need. Welcome to three fourths of this planet! Welcome

to the emptiness and frustration of the dog-eat dog, rat race, where

the biggest dogs and the biggest rats consume everyone else and keep

them quaking in their corners. You left God for this?



And so, in the world, Satan has some sway over you. He has taken down

big Generals of God here, ordinary people are no problem. I will cite

a great Guru, known to millions, who did fantastic things in the

world. He saved and enlightened many, and he himself was enlightened.

But Satan took him, at the end of his life, into the flesh. He then,

at the height of his success, began to have sex with his devotees

(while preaching celibacy all his life!), all of whom were young

girls, even teens, while he was in his seventies. I am not sure when

his abuses started, if they started earlier, but there are numerous

records of his escapades on a certain internet site, which was read to

me. If such a great man can be fooled, then this says to us, that we

are all susceptible and must struggle day and night, night and day, to

stay clean and pure of the desires of the world and flesh.



The fall down point does not have to be sex. Faith healer A. A.

Allen, the miracle worker, died of alcoholism in the middle of

successful ministry. Another of God's Generals, Aimee Semple

McPherson, became so lonely after a nervous breakdown she married a

whoremaster, then had to pay big money to the women who sued him for

`breach of contract.' Later on, Aimee died of an accidental overdose

of sleeping pills. This was one of the best evangelists and the

greatest faith healer who ever lived - she did not have to end this

way at age 52! By no means am I saying Aimee was in sin, but I am

saying that she fell down to mortal weakness at the end of her life.



A Divided Mind, Divided Loyalty



I have devotees who want to maintain relationships with women of the

flesh and also want to stay in touch with my enemies by belonging to

their groups. In the first place, this is dangerous, and in the

second, it shows they are interested in these other people, who they

should renounce and forget. Why associate with the enemies of

MotherGod and concern yourself with what they are doing? All devotees

should leave groups who have attacked the MotherGod Church and Rasa,

it would seem only logical, and yet some have these divided loyalties,

which is the same as having divided loyalties to God.



If I love God, will I hold membership in the `atheists against God'

fellowship?

And if you say,

`They are really a bunch of nice guys, I am getting a lot out of them,'



Then you are fooling yourself.



A devotee said to me, that when I was dating, a long time ago, I had

my fun, and he, the devotee, has not had much of a chance toward fun

and so it is hard for him to renounce such relationships.



I gave a long sigh. Did Anna Nicole Smith have fun? If she did, she

would not have been so bombed out on drugs that she finally killed

herself at the peak of her life. If sex was fun, why wasn't she

bubbling with joy, but she was medicating herself against pain.



SEX WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT FUN! This is what the world and the flesh,

give, an endless repetition of the sex act is not satisfying, it is an

illusion of happiness, a deceit, and it leads to nothing but emptiness

and desolation. Errol Flynn had a lot of `fun' and yet, when I

received him as client in Purgatory, he was at the end of his term of

over twenty two years - the longest stretch in jail of anyone, until I

ministered to my own mother, who spent over twenty four. People

always think sex is fun, until they suffer the broken heart and the

desolation, a result of sex when love is not there. Sex for spiritual

souls is one of the biggest traps; two saints I know of jumped into

thorn bushes to cure themselves of lust, knowing full well the evil of

this desire. Sex is not fun, it is a drug, an addiction! I cannot

explain it any other way, unless there is real love there, and true

feelings - which is usually not the case 99% of the time! The most

common danger, I would say, to holy souls, is lust and relationships

not of God.



The Devotee and the Predator



One of my devotees was had when a wolf entered the sheepfold and

ravaged him. Things did not go well, the wolf wanted to use him for

her purposes, and she did, and twice, she hurt him terribly.



I warned my devotee copiously, but he only would listen for a time

while he was recovering from ravage, then he would fall for her again.



I knew that my patience was needed, that I would not give up and keep

the devotee in my heart even when he strayed, for he was a lost sheep

who had got tangled in a thorn bush, and he did it twice. But would

he learn after the second time to stay away from thorn bushes, and to

stay with the flock and not wander off where he thought the grass was

greener?



The problem is that those in the spirit of the world and the flesh

know that they must entice the devotee into that same spirit. They

talk to the devotee about the things of the world and flesh, they lure

him in like a spider with the web, - did you know that spider webs are

stronger than steel and sticky as glue? The predator works on

emotions, whichever ones work. You get sucked in by con artists -

they put on a good show and their true motives are not evident. I

heard of one young Frenchman who was a liar, cheat and thief, who had

conned people out of 40 million dollars while still in his middle age,

and he had no regrets. He said those whom he robbed had it coming.

Underneath this suave and charming fellow was hidden a hate and a

destruction of the devil, the hate was well hidden, and he charmed

many famous movie stars! It was all on a TV documentary. `This is

hate' I thought. Yes, he hated these people because he himself was

left in an orphanage in France after his mother died and his father

did not want him. He saw happy and wealthy people all around, while

he was rejected and poor. Here were the seeds of envy and hate. How

did he con these people? His personality and convincing everyone he

was a Rockefeller, signing into the luxury suites of the best hotels,

where he never paid the bills. I assume he convinced these people

that when they forked over their money he would double or triple it

for them - he played on their avarice or greed, and since he gave the

impression of being filthy rich, suave and charming, you know the rest.



A predator is like a python. You feel the touch of the predator on

your body, and you don't know it's a python. You think,



`Someone likes me, it feels good to be touched.'



The python slithers around and around you, and you smile.



`She needs me'



You think. Yes, she needs you for food. Now she begins the

stranglehold, tighter and tighter. You begin to hurt. Why are you

hurting? Because now the true nature of the python is made known, she

likes you for prey and needs you for food. Soon, she will choke the

life out of you and then swallow you whole, and in the end, she will

shit you out of her anus. You will be nothing but shit.



When I say chokes the life out of you and swallows you whole, I am

speaking spiritually and allegorically. She will consume your grace,

your light, and your happiness, she will separate you from God. And

when she has got what she wanted out of you, you will be worthless

like shit, without grace, and since she does not really like or love

you, she will discard you like crap. People of the world and flesh

have no conscience, they do what is expedient - desperate people do

desperate things. They consume one another, whoever can con the other

out of something. The world is made that way, beware of the world and

the flesh!



I could go on and on with stories of devotees who failed or are

ineffective for the Church, and 99% of the time, the world and flesh

lures them away, or makes their loyalty divided so they are halfway,

and lukewarm for God.



Most Successful Devotees



Two of the recent devotees, Nicolas and Michael, have been most

successful, and examine why.



Both were willing to practice celibacy, which means renunciation of

the flesh. Nicolas has practiced celibacy for a time and prays all

night every night to an altar where Mary and Rasa preside. He has

broken all records for number of visions, about forty or more visions

in two months.



Michael has distinguished himself also, by following the same program.

He voluntarily gave up his girlfriend, and is even thinking of moving

from his present quarters and changing his job. He is doing this not

for Rasa personally, but for the good of his own soul. Do everything

for your own soul, Rasa does not need your celibacy, changing your

home or job, IT IS YOU WHO NEEDS IT!



What GuruRasa is is this. It's like the silverback gorilla who knows

where all the vegetation and fruits are, the danger areas, good places

to sleep. She leads you here and there and protects you against

predators. A sat guru like Rasa has been through the trials you are

facing, and got over the hurdles. She climbed out of the pits - she

has experience. She also dedicated herself to God and made all the

renunciation/sacrifices that were needed, and she received the grace

of God. All she is doing is guiding you, as well as transmitting to

you the Power that she has that God has given her. It is not for

Rasa, but for you that she is guiding you, so you will reach the end

of your spiritual journey.



It so happens that part of the way of reaching that journey is through

charity. Charity is wholly opposite than helping a predator or a con

man! The predator/ con man CONSUMES you, eats you up and shits you

out. The con is you will get a physical reward for forking up to the

con artist, the desired reward is temporal. But when you give in

charity, it is because you love and trust God. You believe that God

who knows you and loves you will give you spiritual as well as earthly

rewards, with the spiritual being the main thing. You do works of

charity because you know God sees you and what you are doing, and God

is fair, and sooner or later, somehow, God will reward your charity.

The best of disciples is willing to wait as long as it takes to be

rewarded, even if it at the end of this life, when he receives

Heavenly rewards, he does not have to have a guarantee of return on

the dollar. Only the most sincere and holy souls give in this manner,

the ones who are totally renounced.



And as I said, service to the Guru and the Church is service to God,

which is rewarded, and the devotee does it for the good of his own

soul. The Guru went through all these steps herself.

The devotee who is succeeding is the one who gets to a point where he

or she can



1 Give undivided loyalty to Guru/God, renouncing all the things that

separate him/herself from God.

2 Prays faithfully for long periods of time to God/Guru

3 Serves God/Guru in ways of charity, by helping in whatever way is

possible



An example of failed devotee is Bogdan. Bogdan complained about

having to write a monthly letter to the Guru, as the postage stamp was

too expensive, even if he did not have to send the dollar. He has

been sending letters of love to Rasa for two years. Rasa sensed that

he was not willing to give at all, this was just an excuse, and so she

made a new rule. Those who cannot write a letter or send a dollar can

do the following service. Join ten groups a month and post Rasa

articles on them. Bogdan has not been heard from since.



Most devotees just disappear. Is it a loss to Rasa? Hardly, although

it does not make her happy, of course, because of the loss to God -

Rasa wants souls to reach God. But if one chooses not to find God, it

is his loss primarily, not Rasa's. Do you want God or not? Rasa is

your tool, if you choose not to make use of this tool, it is your free

will. The work of God and the Church of Rasa move on, and God informs

us not to grieve once a soul has been lost to Hell. You do all you

can to stop them, but once they have made up their choice, and end up

there, you do not grieve over them, you simply try and stop others

from going there.



And now, since we are talking about Hell, here is the beginning of a

good sermon by Edward Roberts about it. This is what happens to the

enemies of God, in case you didn't know:



Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)

Enfield, Connecticut...July 8, 1741

Their foot shall slide in due time. Deuteronomy 32:35

(Excerpt)

There is no want of power in God to cast wicked men into hell at any

moment. Men's hands cannot be strong when God rises up. The strongest

have no power to resist him, nor can any deliver out of his hands. --

He is not only able to cast wicked men into hell, but he can most

easily do it. Sometimes an earthly prince meets with a great deal of

difficulty to subdue a rebel, who has found means to fortify himself,

and has made himself strong by the numbers of his followers. But it is

not so with God. There is no fortress that is any defence from the

power of God. Though hand join in hand, and vast multitudes of God's

enemies combine and associate themselves, they are easily broken in

pieces. They are as great heaps of light chaff before the whirlwind;

or large quantities of dry stubble before devouring flames. We find it

easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth;

so it is easy for us to cut or singe a slender thread that any thing

hangs by: thus easy is it for God, when he pleases, to cast his

enemies down to hell. What are we, that we should think to stand

before him, at whose rebuke the earth trembles, and before whom the

rocks are thrown down?



They deserve to be cast into hell; so that divine justice never stands

in the way, it makes no objection against God's using his power at any

moment to destroy them. Yea, on the contrary, justice calls aloud for

an infinite punishment of their sins. Divine justice says of the tree

that brings forth such grapes of Sodom, "Cut it down, why cumbereth it

the ground?" Luke 13:7. The sword of divine justice is every moment

brandished over their heads, and it is nothing but the hand of

arbitrary mercy, and God's mere will, that holds it back.



They are already under a sentence of condemnation to hell. They do not

only justly deserve to be cast down thither, but the sentence of the

law of God, that eternal and immutable rule of righteousness that God

has fixed between him and mankind, is gone out against them, and

stands against them; so that they are bound over already to hell. John

3:18. "He that believeth not is condemned already." So that every

unconverted man properly belongs to hell; that is his place; from

thence he is, John 8:23. "Ye are from beneath:" And thither he is

bound; it is the place that justice, and God's word, and the sentence

of his unchangeable law assign to him.



They are now the objects of that very same anger and wrath of God,

that is expressed in the torments of hell. And the reason why they do

not go down to hell at each moment, is not because God, in whose power

they are, is not then very angry with them; as he is with many

miserable creatures now tormented in hell, who there feel and bear the

fierceness of his wrath. Yea, God is a great deal more angry with

great numbers that are now on earth: yea, doubtless, with many that

are now in this congregation, who it may be are at ease, than he is

with many of those who are now in the flames of hell.



So that it is not because God is unmindful of their wickedness, and

does not resent it, that he does not let loose his hand and cut them

off. God is not altogether such an one as themselves, though they may

imagine him to be so. The wrath of God burns against them, their

damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made

ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do

now rage and glow. The glittering sword is whet, and held over them,

and the pit hath opened its mouth under them.



The devil stands ready to fall upon them, and seize them as his own,

at what moment God shall permit him. They belong to him; he has their

souls in his possession, and under his dominion. The scripture

represents them as his goods, Luke 11:12. The devils watch them; they

are ever by them at their right hand; they stand waiting for them,

like greedy hungry lions that see their prey, and expect to have it,

but are for the present kept back. If God should withdraw his hand, by

which they are restrained, they would in one moment fly upon their

poor souls. The old serpent is gaping for them; hell opens its mouth

wide to receive them; and if God should permit it, they would be

hastily swallowed up and lost.



There are in the souls of wicked men those hellish principles

reigning, that would presently kindle and flame out into hell fire, if

it were not for God's restraints. There is laid in the very nature of

carnal men, a foundation for the torments of hell. There are those

corrupt principles, in reigning power in them, and in full possession

of them, that are seeds of hell fire. These principles are active and

powerful, exceeding violent in their nature, and if it were not for

the restraining hand of God upon them, they would soon break out, they

would flame out after the same manner as the same corruptions, the

same enmity does in the hearts of damned souls, and would beget the

same torments as they do in them. The souls of the wicked are in

scripture compared to the troubled sea, Isa. 57:20. For the present,

God restrains their wickedness by his mighty power, as he does the

raging waves of the troubled sea, saying, "Hitherto shalt thou come,

but no further;" but if God should withdraw that restraining power, it

would soon carry all before it. Sin is the ruin and misery of the

soul; it is destructive in its nature; and if God should leave it

without restraint, there would need nothing else to make the soul

perfectly miserable. The corruption of the heart of man is immoderate

and boundless in its fury; and while wicked men live here, it is like

fire pent up by God's restraints, whereas if it were let loose, it

would set on fire the course of nature; and as the heart is now a sink

of sin, so if sin was not restrained, it would immediately turn the

soul into fiery oven, or a furnace of fire and brimstone.



It is no security to wicked men for one moment, that there are no

visible means of death at hand. It is no security to a natural man,

that he is now in health, and that he does not see which way he should

now immediately go out of the world by any accident, and that there is

no visible danger in any respect in his circumstances. The manifold

and continual experience of the world in all ages, shows this is no

evidence, that a man is not on the very brink of eternity, and that

the next step will not be into another world. The unseen, unthought-of

ways and means of persons going suddenly out of the world are

innumerable and inconceivable. Unconverted men walk over the pit of

hell on a rotten covering, and there are innumerable places in this

covering so weak that they will not bear their weight, and these

places are not seen. The arrows of death fly unseen at noon-day; the

sharpest sight cannot discern them. God has so many different

unsearchable ways of taking wicked men out of the world and sending

them to hell, that there is nothing to make it appear, that God had

need to be at the expense of a miracle, or go out of the ordinary

course of his providence, to destroy any wicked man, at any moment.

All the means that there are of sinners going out of the world, are so

in God's hands, and so universally and absolutely subject to his power

and determination, that it does not depend at all the less on the mere

will of God, whether sinners shall at any moment go to hell, than if

means were never made use of, or at all concerned in the case.



Natural men's prudence and care to preserve their own lives, or the

care of others to preserve them, do not secure them a moment. To this,

divine providence and universal experience do also bear testimony.

There is this clear evidence that men's own wisdom is no security to

them from death; that if it were otherwise we should see some

difference between the wise and politic men of the world, and others,

with regard to their liableness to early and unexpected death: but how

is it in fact? Eccles. 2:16. "How dieth the wise man? even as the fool."
