John, what an interesting timing...I'm a premie from South America, attended the recent event in LA and stayed in the US for a couple of weeks to visit with friends.  Maybe you don't remember me, but I did service in your team at Amaroo 1997, and saw you as one of the nicest premies that I ever worked with (as I mentioned it to several people) so emailed you in 2000 to do the same service again but you replied that you were not doing service anymore and directed me to someone else.  When I read your journalistic posts about Maharaji and Knowledge, I was truly sad because I had told some people that the path of the heart can use bright and sensitive and focused people as I considered you while doing service with you.

In any case, I know of someone who did much more damage to Maharaji a very long time ago, sincerely apologized to Maharaji, and was completely forgiven.  Premies...all types and with all levels of consciousness...I have walked away from several service areas due to unbearable people involved in them.  However, I was able to maintain my focus on Knowledge, which was what brought me to this path among all these people in the first place, and on my teacher, who always fills my heart with song.  And my desire to do service remained ever so sincere within me that my ship did come along and I've been in a very good service situation these last couple of years, enjoying myself to the max.  Hopefully one day you'll want to enjoy life with Knowledge again; as Maharaji has said many times, the door is always open.  But even if you don't, John, I know in my heart of hearts that you'll be alright after the storm, simply because you're a fine person and thank goodness for confirming it to me this second time around
