But power manics who want to dominate the world, say that God is on our side against the heathens, the godless people, so that the soldiers feel that they are justified in killing people. In USA, many solidiers from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are commiting suicide when they come home, because they can not handle their feelings about what they have been forced to do during the war.
I remember when I applied for community service as an alternative to military service when I was 15 years old. To assess my right to alternative community service instead of military service, a military psychologist travelled to my birth town in the north of Sweden and checked into a suit at the most luxurious hotel in the town. During a three hour tough interview and psychological investigation, the military psychologist made an assessment of my right for the alternative service.
During this three hour psychological investigation, I presented God as a light, which is the essence of every human being. God is the consciousness in all living beings, and therefore I can not engage in a training which means to learn to kill people.
This military psychologist was very tough during this three hour interview, but in the end he loved me. In the conclusion of his psychologist assessment, he wrote that the “candidate is a young man, who presented his arguments with methodical calm” – and then he recommended the alternative community service instead of military service.”

LOVE, TRUTH AND GRACE GO TOGETHER
INITIATION WITH GITEN:
SATYAMA PADMA
NOVEMBER, 7, 2016
Darshan with Giten with on November 7 was both a birthday and a new birth when Toshen’s birthday was celebrated and she was also initiated by Giten.
Toshen is initiated and is born again to the spiritual path. Giten gave her a new name and a a personal meaning to her name, which is a spiritual guidance for life.
Giten told Toshen during the initiation: Your new name is Satyama Padma. Satyama is your path, which means truth. Padma is your individual name, which means a lotus flower of God’s grace, love and light. The meaning of your whole name is a lotus flower of God’s grace, truth, love and light.
The lotus flower is an ancient symbol of the ultimate unfolding of consciousness.
The lotus flower is the most beautiful flower in the East, the most fragrant, and it has become the symbol of ultimate awakening, ultimate awareness and ultimate flowering.
The highest peak of your being is thought to be like a lotus flower.
The lotus flower has become the spiritual flower for certain reasons. One is that it grows out of the mud. It is such a revolution to see the mud, and the lotus growing out of it.
Padma commented that the initiation was a gift and Deva Emanuel said that there was an underlying silence during the whole evening.
The birthday and initiation was celebrated with exquisite ecological cake and delicious ecological strawberry lemonade.
As birthday and initiation gifts Padma received a dress from the Italian designer Missoni, whose exquisite design and colours was like a lotus flower.
She also received Giten’s book “The Language of Silence: From Darkness to Light” and two necklaces that emphasized the lotus as the symbol of enlightenment.
Padma commented that this initiation was a new beginning to her life.
Both Giten and Padma also received beautiful pink roses, whose fragrance was like a scent from heaven.
The next darshan Giten will be a combined Christmas celebration with satsang in December.
Hej Giten,
Läste det du nu skrev på FB, om GANGA HOFFMANs förtal. Jag vet att du tidigare skrivit att de förtalar dig, och jag begriper inte varför. Enligt det jag begriper så bottnar det mesta av människans destruktivitet ur rädslor.
Det enda du gör är att du är en ”andlig lärare”, inte en ”andlig ledare”. Kan det vara så simpelt att Ganga ser Dig Giten som en konkurrent? Någon som drar potentiella kunder från dem själva? Eller tycker de att du har ”fel sanning” som strider eller konkurrerar med deras sanning? Varför skulle Ganga och sannyasorganisationen vara rädda för dig?
Obegripligt!
Jag själv känner inombords att andlighet & medialitet inte är något som skall blanda in girighet i. Naturligvis behöver de som gör extraordinära insattser få kompensation, med det är inte girighet. Olika andliga lärare förmedlar oftast samma budskap/sanning med olika förklaringar, olika aspekter. Men kärnan de vill förmedla är dessamma. Det är ju som fingret som pekar på månen, budskapet är månen, inte fingret som pekar på månen. Vi väljer alla intuativt vilket finger som får oss att se på månen. Många fingrar försöker få oss att se på månen, men en majoriteten väljer att enbart se på fingret, och gärna diskutera det. Om nu Ganga är en av fingrarna, varför försöker hon då slå bort andra fingrar?
Jag lyssnar ofta på dina satsanger från youtube. Tack Giten! Tack att du är så generös och gör dessa åtkomlig för så många. Jag känner igen så mycket av det du berättar, det främst från en bok som jag läst flertal gånger, som berört mig mest: ”Den sanna revolutionen : en berättelse om ett uppvaknande” av Nukunu Larsen. Han är idag också en andlig lärare, en av mina närmaste vänner var flitig på hans (svin-)dyra kurser. Inget för mig.
Jag ska någon dag boka tid med dig, vet inte när, men jag kommer återkomma då det fungerar för mig.
Tills dess… ha en så underbar sommar

Matthew 13
AND WHEN HE WAS COME INTO HIS OWN COUNTRY, HE TAUGHT THEM IN THEIR SYNAGOGUE, INSOMUCH THAT THEY WERE ASTONISHED AND SAID, WHENCE HATH THIS MAN THIS WISDOM AND THESE MIGHTY WORKS?
IS NOT THIS THE CARPENTER’S SON? IS NOT HIS MOTHER CALLED MARY? AND HIS BRETHREN, AND HIS SISTERS, ARE THEY NOT ALL WITH US? WHENCE THEN HATH THIS MAN ALL THESE THINGS? AND THEY WERE OFFENDED IN HIM.
People were not so offended with Buddha or Lao Tzu as people were offended with Jesus.
With Buddha, he is so far away that you either do not understand him, or people could understand that he was the essence of the Upanishads.
With Jesus, people were offended, because he was just like them. They could not understand him. The said: “We know him! Isn’t he the carpenter’s son!”.
Buddha was also the son of a king, while Jesus was a carpenter’s son.
People could not understand. From where comes his wisdom?
They were offended, their ego was offended.
BUT JESUS SAID TO THEM, A PROPHET IS NOT WITHOUT HONOUR,
SAVE IN HIS OWN COUNTRY, AND IN HIS OWN HOUSE.
It has happened so many times that the people who are closest will always misunderstand.
We could expect the contrary, that the people of Jesu’s village would understand him first. The pepople of Jesu’s house, his family, his relatives, would understand him first.
But that does not happen.
A deep insight into the human ego is needed to understand it.
With those that are closest to you, it is very difficult to believe that they had gone beyond and above you.
If somebody else, who is not close to you, goes beyond you. the competetive ego does not arise.
But if your brother goes. and you are left behind, your ego is hurt.
You feel defeated, a failure. Then the easiest way is to deny that he has gone beyond.
Jesus offended his own village, family and relatives.
They knew Jesus’ birth date, they knew his father, his mother, his brothers and sisters.
So Jesus can not be forgive.
Jesus is a quality of love, but to be able to see this quality, you have to drop your ego.
The presence, the quality of Jesus offends, because you will feel that you have failed.
His very being, his presence, offends you.
With Jesus there are tow qualities: either you follow him or you deny him, you become an enemy.
When Jesus was crucified, many felt a relief.
Very rare people could follow Jesus, because they were ready to drop their egos.
And even those that followed Jesus, hesitated and had doubts before they could say yes, before they can trust.
Jesus is a total yes to life, a total trust in life.
