This is a premie event blog from Vancouver.  They're trying to spread this Knowledge to every street and park.  Well, Gwenda and Marie, you've made the ex-premie forum and thanks for the guffaws.  Good luck with getting those mercurial beads together.

About:

This is a shared blog for people in pacific northwest to talk about what they are doing in their cities to spread peace through Prem Rawat's message.

Vancouver Folk Festival - bring your cheques to July 7 "The Importance of Joy" @ Ramada

Maria and I are doing fund-raising - what do you think of our pitch so far?
******************************************
Hi, this is Gwenda, is that Maria?

Do you have a minute to talk? I’m calling to ask you to participate in an outreach event to introduce people to Maharaji.

If, YES then - yippee!

We’re finding the old-style hall events don’t work so this summer we're moving into the parks and streets and do things differently. Nuthin’ to lose.

So we’re going to have a tent outside this year’s Vancouver Folk Festival July 14-15-16. We’re going to staff it 24 hours a day and sleep there one or two nights ahead to guarantee our spot. We’ll have two stations at the back where people can put on head-phones and watch special 7-12 min excerpts of Maharaji, and then in the evening we’ll put up the big white sheet like the old days, and show a full DVD. (just joking about the sheet - we'll have a screen).

We need volunteers for the day, and to contribute financially. Are you interested in either of these?

If yes, THEN talk about financial FIRST (that's why we're calling)

Well, I’m calling you specifically to ask for a financial contribution. Our budget is $1300 with biggest item being purchase of 2 Eliminator 1200 watt Power Box batteries. While one is being used, the other can be charged so we’ll have quiet electricity all day. We'll be using these batteries again for other outdoor events this summer. The second biggest item is purchase of Discovering More DVDs and other give-away materials.

If you are interested in contributing financially then please bring a cheque (no amount too small) to the Community Meeting and "The Importance of Joy " DVD screening, the Friday after next, July 7. See www.eventline.ca for details.

If you are interested in volunteering on the days of the event, I will take your contact information and John will contact you.

LOVE YOU Maria babe!

Whiterock Library Monday Night Lecture "Freedom Within"

I really enjoyed my first event at the Whiterock library last night. 14 peopled turned up - i was hoping for 40 and expecting 3, so it was great. Two even came from south of the border.

It started with music video, lots of library patrons popped their heads in and none stayed *but* obviously I've picked the right night (library staff told me Monday is the busy night), and right room (on the landing on the way into the library).

Maharaji was incredible - the DVD was from Malaysia with 4000 people in the room and 3,700 of them seeing him live for the first time.

Judith came with refreshments (tea/coffee/cookies) and the AV team was there with the big screen and other projector. Susan Lee Hem brought the bags with complimentary information for new people (although there were none).

This will change for my next event because of the SANDWICH BOARD which I'm going to leave up all day next time:

Prem Rawat
Public Lecture
Tonight 7:30 pm

Admission by donation

I'll going to design this myself and have it printed up at Staples. Lisa will construct the stand.

I made an announcement saying "If you can make a contribution, it would help us cover the cost of the room" and I collected $75!

I've had a lot of experience putting on events much larger than this one, but I admit I was nervous but through team effort the outcome was wonderful and I think was a great step to having regular Prem Rawat public lectures at the libary.

Yeah! Putting the "rock" back into "Whiterock"!
Best regards,
John Archer

All Day Peace Event in South Main

I felt a great relief 2 days ago when i postponed this event until the 24th. It will be more effective and more fun if I wait until the KIT (Knowledge In Transit as Susan Lee Hem calls it) is ready. I want time to create some great postcard invitations (well, not me as I am graphically challenged) and distribute them around my neighbourhood haunts, and also invite my friends. The planning part can be fun.

All the best,
Gwenda

welcome

welcome fellow lovers of light

there is so much inspiration from action going on with people acting on a small scale in a free-flowing way but each working in a little bubble like beads of mercury on a plate

this is an attempt to jiggle the plate to get the beads together

All the meaningful information is there in the blogs:

The second biggest item is purchase of Discovering More DVDs and other give-away materials.

I really enjoyed my first event at the Whiterock library last night. 14 peopled turned up

It seems like Canadian premies are the same as Australian ones. Nothing they do ala propagation works. But they know it's working great far far away like in Malaysia. Maharaji is incredible. They must never say anything that isn't positive.

Back in 2004-5 .I was living out west .I went to a meeting to discuss what we all could do to Help .It was before the Keys came out .An X american intiator lead the talk .We divided into groups .Filled out questionars.Then watch a video of how the web site was gonna work .The deal was this . You could pass out a prem pal what card to someone you meet or give them a schuldule of his cable acess TV shows or the website but that was it.No talking about anything eles .However the best way any one could help was to send money.  Then they talked about welcoming in the new people .there was a hypothetical video shown how a female lawyer gets a card watches M an TV get the keys and gets the K.all in isolation of course .Seems like he wants more lawyers to help shut us all up !!! Then there was talk of being nice to the new comers .I see this way of targeting propagation as isolation in cyber space and people relativly well off .  there was talk of helping pepole in prison OK cons know the religious game , what is he looking for sociopaths to do the game for him ?  anyway the point was keep your mouth shut and if you want to help send money .very insulting if you ask me .                 How did that song go ? SEND MONEY GUNS AND LAWYERS  what a MEATLOAF quess " two outta Three ain't bad " and I luv you to !                                                                Hear is something to think about Abusers isolate and censor their lover in order to control Like the whole bride and bridgroom metaphor                                                 It seems that the whole propagation and closing the ashrams is part of this tactic especially the censorship and the keep your mouth shut aspect .It is like an abusive family secret .   OH Well somthing to ponder !

Yeah.  It's all based on the belief that if they do something, anything, they are fulfilling the wish of Maharaji to participate in propagation.  There's also the belief that if someone just hears about Maharaji and never follows up, well, they've done their work.  Those people are blessed, because they heard Maharaji's name.

They must try, because that's what's asked of them.

I found the blog really funny.  Bring your cheques... LOL!  Nothing's changed except they can't get people into a hall even to listen.

Throwing money after Maharaji. Ah, the bad new days are just like the bad ole days...

Remember that song ?

I was told that just seeing a picture of Maharaji during a person's lifetime erased decades of Karma and zapped them, premie or not, towards becoming a "realised soul".

Having attended scores of endless wall- to- wall satsang/video weekends and programmes my mind was well fried............. and probably still is !

I thoroughly believed all this nonsense.

Today I was rooting around some of my deceased mum's papers when I found a letter from the local government, dated April 1973, offering me a University Scholarship ( University College London) to read Philosophy. It was sad to read.

..Two months later my father died suddenly and a couple of months after that I met a premie who ,quite honestly ,scared me into giving up my uni. place.He stood over me as I wrote the letter and signed it. I really didn't want to but I was afraid of disobeying "The Lord".

My family were very upset by this. 

Just two years ago I read EPO properly. It was just amazing to find out what a hero Bob Mishler really was and how ahead of his time.

I am sure I am not the only premie ( now ex) who feared that if I left the feet of the "master" I would die in an accident. This is due to the ridiculous negative spin that was somehow attached  by the premie grapevine to Bob's tragic death and also to the foolish magical thinking encouraged by the cult. 

Aaron Mishler sounds like a fantastic guy.I'm sure his Dad would be very proud of him.Warmest wishes to him and thanks to Susan for bringing us his inspiring story.

I'll bet people lined up to watch the videos instead of the bands at the festival, too.
