    Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: “Effort and Grace,” June 1, 2025, live on Baba Zoom
    Jun 3 2025
    We have some informal chat after every arti, the "post-arti party"! But once a week, Jeff Wolverton joins us for some serious mining of the spiritual depths. Join us for conversation, more readings, songs, quotes - you never know what treasures will be uncovered! Topic: Reading and Discussion Dear folks of Baba, From our last meeting, I felt the consensus from most of you was to delve in depth again into Darwin Shaw’s book, Effort and Grace, and perhaps see its insights in a new light. With each reading, as with Meher Baba’s Discourses, our inner camera angle no doubt has since then shifted to fresh perspectives, and the landscape of the heart is seen with new clarity. This is the first book of its kind in the Baba literature, and it is significant that Darwin, with his rich inner experience, was the one destined to write it. It is about the conscious inner journey from the head to the heart to the Soul--our Beloved Baba. Most all books about the inner life describe the path to realizing our spiritual potential by ascending the planes of consciousness to arrive at Self-Realization. Darwin’s book is quite different and unique in that it describes the path leading to the goal of total self-effacement, where we empty the heart of all strangers so that Baba Himself can live in us, as St. Paul says in the Bible, “Not I, but Christ liveth in me.” To give you a little background of how I stumbled upon all this: Seemingly by a lucky circumstance, a buddy and I found ourselves at the doorstep of 2 Castine Street in Schenectady, NY, in 1970. We had no idea what a fortunate destiny was about to unfold. It was the home of Darwin and Jeanne Shaw, two of Meher Baba’s early Western mandali, who had first met Him in the 1930s. So profoundly moving was our experience with this dear old couple that we decided then and there to drop all other plans and stay in Schenectady. In their modest home chock-full with Baba memorabilia, we had the impression that their house was a favorite resting place in the world for Baba, and the three of them enjoyed a most sublime and yet informal camaraderie. How did Darwin and Jeanne arrive at such an intimacy with Baba? We were about to throw all hesitancy to the winds and ask! Fortunately, in the years to come, Darwin remembered and shared with us the many stages that he and Jeanne went through to reach such an unspeakable intimacy with Baba. We had no idea at the time about Darwin’s mystical side. The uplifting atmosphere of their home, reminding us of the Lagoon Cabin at the Center in Myrtle Beach, should have clued us in. Up to this point, my buddy and I had read just about everything by and about Baba, and He would make reference occasionally to the inner life with Him. We had only a vague idea about this and just assumed that it would somehow unfold automatically in time. Darwin, to the contrary, made it absolutely clear that we can actually be pro-active about our inner life. He shared with a few of us many inner practices, and one of the main ones came directly from Baba to their family. In 1956 in New York City, Baba said to them, “If you love Me, you must give Me everything, all your pleasures and pains, your strengths and weaknesses, your joys and sorrows. Hold nothing back and be free. And this will please Me.” Darwin, in his very low-key, unassuming way, shared with us a method of giving the contents of our heart to Baba. It involved first focusing deeply on a particular troubling emotional complex we were facing such as anxiety, taking time to bring it up within in its many aspects and how it is experienced in our heart, and then imagining it flowing energetically to Baba. Darwin would say, “The deeper the feeling, the deeper the healing.” On one occasion, he said, “Baba is impression-less Being. Whatever you give to Baba is gone forever. But there is a layer behind it that looks exactly like the one you just gave Him so it appears that Baba didn’t receive your offering. Give Him that next layer.” In doing so over time, we create what Darwin called “inner space” in the heart where Baba has room to live and where we can become aware first-hand of the emotions, desires and deeper feelings passing through us. It is like lifting up the hood of a car to observe all the internal parts of the engine. This is just one of the methods of opening up to the inner life with Baba that Darwin shares in His book, Effort and Grace. In our zoom sessions, we will discuss many of the nuances of this inner journey with an emphasis on examples of how this can be lived in our daily life, with its many inevitable challenges and breakthroughs. For many, Darwin’s book has provided a key to unlocking the door to their interior life with Baba. If you don’t have his book, below is the link that will take you there.

    May 27 2025

    Celebrating Meher Baba's Declaration as the Highest of the High in Hamirpur.

    As Pukar traveled from his gathering in Portland Oregon with Gil Alverado and many others, we have learned of at least three more stops as he made his way back to the East Coast. Pukar met with the Nordeen family in upper Michigan, Peter Nordeen then brought Pukar to visit with David Stoiber in Wisconsin.

    As far as we know, his next stop was in Chicago as Pukar reconnected with many of the 12 Meher Players who performed at the Mela in Athens, Maine. We are very fortunate to have with us, David Miotke who has vivid memories of Pukar's time in Chicago. David, is well known in Baba circles as an incredible composer, pianist and vocalist. Please join us at the usual hour, 8pm, Monday, May 26th.
