Civil War Cleansing Mission II .............................................................................. 3

Dear friends,Jarek and I returned to Poland on April 4th fromU.S. after “Civil War Cleansing Mission II”, acleansing of sites where there had been massa-cres of slaves during the American Civil War.As we learned on our first trip last year, therewere souls still trapped at those sites waiting tobe freed. And once again, the experience waslife-altering for all involved. The very thought ofbeing able to assist souls in being released froma state of limbo is beyond our imagination. Weare deeply grateful to have been instrumental inthis blessed task.

As I did from the previous trip, I have decidedto share the whole trip and what guidance came,what souls came through to tell their stories,and the process we went through. So, the text ofthe following messages includes some fromother sources other than Orion, but all are soconnected. The bold italic text is used for themessages (guidance), some from ORION andothers from Shree Vasant, whose direction andinspiration were invaluable to this mission.

Also in another type style I have insertedresearch results about some of the Civil Warsites we visited.

Seeing the effects of war on those who weremassacred in the 1860s in America, I am re-minded of the heinous crimes against humanitystill in existence today. How can we mobilizeour forces with love and compassion and movethem to action to prevent more wars and spreadthe word of peace? May we search for the ways

and never forget those who suffered then andthose who suffer now. Please include them inyour prayers and meditations. What happens toone of us, happens in some way to us all.

Thank you to those of you who assisted in CivilWar research, which sometimes seemed fruit-less, as so much real information is hidden ornot recorded in historical texts.

We found the ones we were looking for. Theircalls were louder than any history book couldhave recorded.

Much love to you all, on behalf of our group ofdedicated “freedom fighters”:

Henry and Jannette Gregory, Noni Faruq,Norma “Dimples” Wooten, Tom Couto,Darlene Haggerty, Jarek Bizberg and me. Andto all who were there in spirit!

Love,Parvati

March 18, 2007 Madison, VirginiaThe cleansing mission began. Eight of us—Henryand Janette Gregory, ‘Dimples’ Wooten, NoniFaruq, Tom Couto, Darlene Haggerty, Jarek andParvati (Rosen) Bizberg embarked on a journeyinto Civil War South on Civil War CleansingFreedom Mission II. We gathered at Darlene’shome in Madison, Virginia and got rechargedand energized for our morning departure.

Just two weeks prior to our trip, my dear friendDavid had passed away. I was still kind of in astate of shock when our group came together.The morning of our trip, last minute I had to gopick up some things just before we were sched-uled to leave. I was worried it would delay thetrip. As we started the car ignition, a song cameon the radio (which we had not turned on!). Thewords were: “Things don’t always work out like you want themto.”We broke into laughter, and what could havetaken hours ended up taking only one hour.Before long we were all ready to go. It was animmediate lightening of the spirit.

Shree’s message began our trip: “This is a good time to leave, to embark onthis mission of peace and release. You arewalking through lines separating one worldfrom the next. When you do these cleansings, itheals the earth upon which these atrocitieswere done. It releases the souls, frees them tomove on to the next level, to reincarnate, toevolve beyond present circumstance. It is allGrace. Big work. Great work. “When you stop for the disciplines, if time isessential to the work, to reach a place on timefor example, you can stop for five minutes andcontinue on. “How is Ross now? Good if you can meethim in Baltimore. He would have liked to come,so bring him with you in spirit. It is importantfor him.

“All blessings for this journey of Light, allof you. OM TAT SAT.”

All along the way, we were instructed to stop formeditation timings and we did. So, we stayed ontrack and focused, communicating via cellphones down the highway. Along the way, eventhe music which we were playing coincided witharrival at the sites. As we approached Plymouth,Sweet Honey in the Rock came on, singing, “Weare the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

PLYMOUTHResearch:

More than 800 black soldiers, recruitsand more than 1000 fugitive slaves (men,women and children) were massacred inApril 1864 as they fled into a swamp atPlymouth. When it appeared that the

Confederates were about to overtake theFederal fort and that the city was beingsurrendered, blacks fled for the ConabyCreek, followed by Confederate soldiers.Most were reported killed; many drowned.

March 19, 2007 Plymouth, North CarolinaOur first site was Plymouth, North Carolina.Because we arrived late in the evening, westayed at a motel arranged for us by RaymondSmith of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, whojoined us for the first two sites in North Caro-lina. He is an Agnihotra practitioner and Lightworker, and an old friend of Parvati’s andDarlene’s. It was a good reunion and he was sohelpful in locating and leading us to the exactsite by Conaby Creek in Plymouth the nextmorning, which was our first cleansing.

We drove through residential areas which bor-dered the river, until finally we came to a boatdock area which was public. We arranged ourvans in the parking lot to shield our little “picnicscene” and sat in a circle on blankets. We lit thefire and performed Vyahruti Homa, followed byPurusha Suktam and Sapta Shloki. As soon asthe fire began to flame, I found myself leaping tomy feet and running down to the boat dock bythe river. There, I walked out on the dock andcould see many slaves coming through the waterfrom the right side. They gathered around theboat dock.

Shree was blessing them. He said: “They are coming from the right. There aremany more souls being released here now.There are not 800, not 1,000. There are over1,000 souls being released on this date at thissite. There were many more lost here thanreported, and much work to do today…into thenight.”

Shree continued blessing the souls as they cameforward. I remained standing on the dock duringthe whole time, arm outstretched as I could feelShree blessing them and chanting Mantras.

Shree called to them: “Be free. Do not despair.”One man came forward, very close to the dock

with his family. He said, “Elijah. Son, Jeremiah. Wife, Mary. Wecome from Shenandoah.”The woman held baby Jeremiah up, and Shreeblessed him.Shree continued: “Good to go to New Bern. One fire, andcontinue. Do as many cleansings as possibletoday. Keep going.”

March 19, 2007 We stopped at noon for meditation. I heard:Shree’s Voice, “You are all an army of Light. Move like anarmy, taking first North Carolina, then SouthCarolina, on to Georgia. “If you do not sense how to proceed, orwhether to stop or not stop, just ask. Everystep is guided by Our Hand. “Today is a crucial day to complete NorthCarolina and South Carolina. “The site of the Fort is one which has alreadybeen attended to, having been the focus ofprevious healings over the years, but what Wedo is not akin to any other healing or cleansing.It is not a technique which is either taught orlearned. It is operated by Grace. We use thiswilling instrument as We wish. Therefore, theaim is pure, the action is pure and the resultspure. All of you walk in Light. “All blessings for this day. OM TAT SAT.”

NEW BERNResearch:

During the two year federal occupation(1862-1864) approximately three thou-sand blacks from the area surrounding

Plymouth to the Coast, and down to NewBern, joined the Union. Following thePlymouth massacre, New Bern became therefugee center for ex-slaves and fugitives.(More research is needed to determine thenature of atrocity/massacre againstblacks.)

March 19, 2007 New Bern (site of refugeecamp)We arrived in New Bern visitor’s centre wherewe were given information from a very helpfulyoung woman at the desk who indicated wherethe refugee camps had been all by the river. Onone side of the bridge were the aristocracy andon the other side, James City, were the slaves.

We drove to the area that was formerly JamesCity, again through a residential area. All theriverfront properties were privately owned.Finally, we found a space between two privatedwellings which was a public walkway down tothe river. We all walked down to the river and

overlooking the river was an old pier uponwhich was proudly displayed a Confederate flag!It was interesting how the flag had been wavingand when we did the fire, the flag stopped stilland didn’t move. I didn’t see any beings there,but it felt very strong. Shree suddenly said to us, “Stand up. “At this site, you will not be able to see thesebeings, for instantly they are freed. We haveasked you to stand to honour the people whoare being released. Now, you sing to themsongs of love and freedom, songs of justice andof righteousness. In your hearts, have forgive-ness for those who perpetuated this slaughter.Noni lead us in song now. OM.”

March 19, 2007 Myrtle Beach, South CarolinaBy this time, following dinner on the road, someof us were considering staying overnight inMyrtle Beach and continuing on to Fort Wagner,Charleston in the morning. We were quicklyredirected!

Shree’s Voice: “There is no question. Crucial means crucial.All of you are in the army now, so no mutiny.Go directly to the site, nearby the place, andthere do fire and same as all other sites. Thiswas the site of great peril and loss. This par-ticular cleansing is not only for any remainingsouls, but for the land and water purification.So, gather your strength and move the troops.Forward march.

“Then, after this, have good long rest. Go toEbenezer Creek, Savannah and take good timethere before leaving for Atlanta. Keep contact

for Atlanta.”

FORT WAGNER/MORRIS ISLAND/CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINAResearch :

Immortalized in the 1989 film Glory, thecelebrated 54th Massachusetts VolunteerInfantry Regiment (an all-black company)was sent out on a grand charge on FortWagner. The troops were in no physicalcondition to lead the storming against thefort, having fought a fierce engagementon nearby James Island, losing nearly 10percent of its men. After two days ofmarching in subtropical heat with norations, the half starved and physicallyspent troopers finally reached MorrisIsland just hours before the assault.Union commanders also failed to providethem with guides, engineers, or provisionsfor overcoming obstructions. Finally,these soldiers had no prior experience instorming a fort, much less leading anassault against one.

ORION’s original response of months ago was:“Yes, yes, yes. If time permits and this

site is accessible, there most certainlyare those waiting for release in theimmediate vicinity of this site.”

We continued on to Fort Wagner, even though itwas quite late already. We arrived in Charlestonaround 10:00 P.M. and began to search for a siteacross from Morris Island, where the battle ofFort Wagner had taken place. We again had todrive through a residential area and finally founda space between two private homes which wasan opening by the river. We couldn’t get down tothe river from there, as it was a swamp. But weknew it was as close as we could get to the site,which was actually an island that had beenpartially washed away.

We gathered in a circle on our blankets in be-tween the parked vans and the river, and did onefire.

I saw the black soldiers gather around the backof our circle. They took off their hats and heldthem in their hands behind them. They werereverent. They said, “Thank you,” one by one.

Shree’s Voice: “As We had told before, this site, original sitewas cleansed before. Here, many souls havebeen freed, though today there are some verynear you now being released. Their spirits arejoyous. This is what you feel, JOY. “When souls are released, the pain is liftedand this gives way to JOY.”

One soldier who appeared to be the leader of thegroup of men came up to me and said, “We were not afraid. We were never afraid.We laid down our lives, but we had no idea. Noidea. We were trapped. “My men thank you. I have never lost myhonour. I have stayed by my men. I have beenable to be free, but I have stayed with my men.We sang. Now, we are all free. For this, we aregrateful. “We hear you. May God bless you all. “I was from Salem.”

March 20, 2007 12: oo NoonThe next day our group stopped at an EarthFare food store and everyone went in to shop forhealthy foods for the remainder of our journey. Ialso went into the store, but found myself kind oflost, as I felt I was in between worldssomehow…a bit overwhelmed by the manychoices! Orion addressed it.

ORION: “Yes, yes. This is a culture of convenienceand of endless choices. Your European sensi-bilities are shocked by the many choicesavailable to you. Keep it simple and enjoy.Certainly, do not let it steer you off course.

“Today’s venue is different from all othersites. Ebenezer Creek holds the very most, thegreatest number of slaves to be freed at thistime. It will take your full concentration. At thissite particularly, sing hymns from this era. Thesouls here are ones who were most of a spiri-tual nature. Why have they not been releasedto this day? Indeed, this is baffling, but theywill tell you in their words. They have beenwaiting. “All across this land, souls are waiting. Youare guided by a force greater than the indi-vidual and you know and recognize the sourceas the Supreme Being. “What are you doing shopping anyway? Letothers do the food shopping. You should knowbetter. Keep your energies focused on theLight. Let others be the gatherers of food forthe journey. Stay focused, out of harm’s way. “We are moving with this army of LightWorkers. On to Georgia now. Without delay,but right on time.”

EBENEZER CREEKResearch:

As Sherman made his way from Atlanta toSavannah, the slaves living along theroute perceived the rampaging Federalsas an army of liberation and trailedbehind them. Sherman and many of hisofficers considered the fugitives a nui-sance and an encumbrance to theirmovements. When they arrived atEbenezer Creek on December 9, 1864, the

troops erected a pontoon bridge. As soonas the Union soldiers had crossed thebridge, Brigadier General Davis orderedthe bridge disassembled, stranding ap-proximately 650 blacks on the far side ofthe stream in Confederate territory. At theapproach of the Confederate horsemen,many of the blacks tried to swim or crosson makeshift rafts of logs, but the signifi-cant number drowned.

Ebenezer CreekWhen we arrived, Noni collapsed in tears on theblanket we set up by the river. Noni didn’tusually break down, so we all knew somethingvery strong was at this site. However, the areawas quite popular and boats were being loudlylaunched from the spot. Men were arriving intrucks and unloading their boats and other boatswere noisily arriving at the shore. So, I foundmyself feeling uncomfortable, as if maybe thiswas too public and my concentration would bebroken. Tom and Henry inquired of the womanwho ran a small shop by the river. She was sofriendly and agreed to us setting up a “picnic”and lighting a fire as long as it was enclosed.When they told her we would be singing gospelsongs and hymns, her reply was that it was fineas long as we sang them loud enough for her tohear us, since she loved those songs.

Shree’s Voice guided us: “This is where the boats dock, so it is apublic place. See what Tom and Henry have to

10

say. It is always best when performing fire anddoing these cleansings, to be as focused andconcentrated as possible. So, as far as pos-sible, nothing should disturb the process.That’s all. Henry and Tom can tell what theyfeel, since they have approached the personbut as far as possible, let the energy not bedisturbed. “This site is one of the biggest sites, so wehave to take care and be clear. Your feelingsare accurate. It is difficult to perform a cleans-ing at a boat dock. Start the fires and let Us dothis now.”Despite the boats coming and going, motorsstarting and revving, once we began the fireeverything stopped. It was as if the rest of thepublic was frozen in time! I sat closest to theriver and looked out over the water. Suddenly,the water nearest to me began to ripple quitefast, slapping up against the shore. At that time,I didn’t see it, but Tom said later that he lookedup at the sky. From across the river, hawks flewout of the trees, formed a circle overhead andthen flew away. That is when the slaves began tocome toward where our group was seated insemicircle all facing the river.

One woman came close. Her head was down andshe had cloth on her head. When she lifted herface to me, I nearly fell into the water. I doubledover crying, because it was Noni! She held ababy boy in her arms, who could not have beenolder than 2-3 weeks.

“Bless us. Now bless all of us. Now you see,I am free.”The others came forward from behind her and

spoke their names. “Rae. “Bertha. “Hattie. A toothless old lady. She smiled and said Icould just leave it at that. A younger womancame forward proudly saying, “My name is Nyama.”One woman spoke for the group.”We comin’ free now. We comin’ free. PraiseLord. Praise, praise, praise Him. “Our children born and died here. “We don’t carry no hatred, no we don’t carryit. We sing. We pray. “We knew this day was gonna come. We bewaitin’ for you. “You our mothers, you our fathers. You ourbrothers. You our sisters. You our children. Youour family. We knew you would come. GoodLord had prepared us. Now we free. We free asa bird. Thank you. Bertie.”

I wondered and asked “Only women here?” Bertie said, “They men,” as she pointed intothe river.Behind the women, the men stood back, shyly.“Thank you.”One man said,”That’s my brother. Some of usdone took our lives, after ones we loved haddied. We knew it was wrong, but so heavy wereour hearts. The good Lord has had mercy onus. The Lord is mercy, mercy, mercy. “But we were not afraid. Not one of us wasafraid.”As our group all sang gospel songs with greatemotion and vigour, they all swayed in the river,all clapping and swaying side to side.

11

I asked, “How many?”

“Oh they must have been thousands of us, butnot just here. All along the waters, we fell. Wejumped. We wailed, we called each others’names. We prayed. Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.”

I asked, “Where from?”Bertie replied,“All that’s not important, girl. That you havecome, oh that you angels of mercy have come,to set us free. We are so blessed. And with youblessings of the Lord. Sing.”

Later, as we were packing up to depart, Tommentioned that on the road in the van whichNoni was travelling, she had made an unusualcomment. “My goal on this trip is for all of you to setme free!” I was in the other van and was very surprisedat yet another confirmation!March 20, 2007 Savannah Georgia Sunset,Shree’s Voice: “Our work here is complete. Now tonightplan Atlanta and talk about what occurredtoday. It is nothing short of a miracle. “Now, Parvati has to travel many places forthis type of cleansing and healing. “We are moving you from place to place likean army and this is Divine work. Truly this isthe path of Grace, but We make no show of it.This is not channelling or any technique forfreeing souls. Guidance is given by Grace. It isfollowed to a tee and all of you receive bless-ings as blessings are bestowed. It is all Grace. “Atlanta is hidden underground. One contact

may help you. Be persistent. “OM TAT SAT. All blessings to all. Ourblessings to Noni. Big day, great clearing todayfor you.”

March 21, 2007 Shree 10:00 a.m. Savannah “If it is possible to meet this passionate,historian gentleman soon, then try to arrangeit. This work in the Atlanta area is crucial, soimportant. What was done here is complete forthis region of Georgia. What was done yester-day extends way beyond distance in miles orkilometres. “Atlanta has a time frame also and this istoward the end of the time frame. “Research should continue. Should furtherresearch uncover more sites in other states,the mission can continue at another time andplace. Meanwhile, Atlanta is calling. Good togo with a plan, as it is a large city. The land ofthe South is grieving. Suffering can only bepushed down for so long, until the land itselfrises up in protest. Tides will rise up and engulfthe history. Areas by the coast bear greattestimony to a divided nation’s pain. Manyperished at sea, many in various bodies ofwater. Because water carries the secrets, evengreater than the soil of the land itself, thestories are alive in the ripples of the creeks,the rise and fall of ocean’s tides, the swell ofthe river and where rivers meet, the greatestsource remains as yet untapped. Everywhereyou go, water is the key now.”

We called our new friend Jamal, a self-pro-claimed historian specializing in Savannah andcoastal Georgia Civil War history. He worked

12

for the city housing department and met us onhis break. He was very enthusiastic, passionateabout his research work and also did perfor-mances from the era. He confirmed thatEbenezer Creek had been a major site wheremany slaves had perished. He said many haddrowned there.

I still felt such a strong pull, not wanting to leaveSavannah. I had been drawn to the ocean,feeling a strong need to go there for some rea-son. We had been told that nearby Tybee Islandwas on the ocean and when I heard that, I hadfelt very much drawn to it. It turned out, Jamaltold us, that Tybee Island was one of the quaran-tine sites where when slaves arrived, they werekept. Now, I understood my pull to the ocean, onanother level.

1:00 p.m. Savannah, Georgia Shree’s Voice: “The pain and suffering of the people wasso intense here. This whole area resounds withit. The release of souls yesterday was com-plete. No more souls remain ready to be re-leased. The pull is in part a deep familiaritywith your own soul and strong connection here.We can explore it later. It is best to leave thisplace now, heading to Atlanta.”

ATLANTA, GEORGIAResearch:

Despite long hours and much research byseveral members of the mission, we werenot able to definitively identify atrocitiesor massacres against black soldiers,families or communities.

ORION: “ In Georgia, there were many atroci-ties done against those of the enslaved popula-tion, before, during and following the war,during the Reconstruction period. We wouldsay that in terms of loss of life and suffering ofthose enslaved ones, Georgia would hold arecord, should one ever be proposed. It doesnot have a good civil rights record, although inpresent time there is much more tolerance inthis state than in others surrounding it. Perhapsthis is due to increased trade and the presenceof Atlanta, the great southern city.”

March 21, 2007 En route to Atlanta, Georgia.3:00 P.M., Shree’s Voice: “Atlanta is a very important area of cleans-ing, particularly for release of souls. Since allnames are coming up Kennesaw, go there first.Still, your connection to that area by the coastbetween Charleston and Savannah is moststrong. So many brave, courageous soulspassed through that arch there. May they restin peace. “OM TAT SAT.”

At sunset, Shree’s Voice: “Good you are here in Atlanta. Go to theKennesaw place because it is one site which iscoming up. Actually all of Georgia bears greatscars from the Civil War atrocities whichoccurred here. It is correct that along the coastthe pain is palpable, but this Atlanta carries it.See to whom you can speak about this.Kennesaw is one place We know there aresouls to be released. Sit together and openyour hearts to receive direction where to findthem. Once the intention is declared, they will

13

just come. We do not say like this and We donot encourage others to do this alone. This iswork for which you have been trained andguidance is moment to moment. “There is a major river which runs throughAtlanta area. Along that river were many slavefamilies. Look deeper. Listen more. “Now we have to look at clearing an entirearea, clearing energy which has choked theregion for many years. Being instrumental incleansing and purifying entire regions is not atask any one of you knows how to do. Yet, itgets accomplished when all of you come to-gether as ONE. “Move the army south, following the river.Begin below Roswell, Georgia. You will find theriver. “Yes, where the rivers meet there is aconfluence of energies. There, one fire can beperformed.”

Our group convened and actually found thatdirectly south of Roswell was the ChattahoocheeRiver. We planned to do the site at KennesawNational Battlefield Park and then head southbelow Roswell to where the Chattahoochee Riverwas.

March 22, 2007 Sunrise, Kennesaw “After cleansings of this nature, so profound,so miraculous, this instrument needs more rest.We need to release the souls and then do notcarry them. Let them go. Others may also befeeling the need for more rest. This is not easywork. Release. Release. Release. Go first toKenessaw. Then south as instructed.”

We drove our two vans into the KennesawNational Battleground Park. We checked out themuseum there and spoke briefly with a younghistorian at the desk. He agreed that there hadbeen slave atrocities, especially confirming thatthere were many slave families who followedbehind the armies, who often got left behind toperish from lack of food and shelter.

There was a mountain road and we drove up itto the end, where trails went through the forest.It was quite public and a lot of cars drove in andout while we were there. We decided to pull thevans together and do the fire inside one of thevans, since regulations against fires, etc. werestrict.

As we began, I could see the slaves approachingour vehicles. Many were children.Shree spoke: “Those ready to be released have come.”I saw children nearest to the van. Then, people intattered brown garments walked forward towardus. A young girl of about 13 came to the car andspoke: “We were walkin, walkin forever. My broth-ers were fightin’. I got so tired of walkin’. Thensomeone picked me up like a baby and carriedme here. Eliza is my name. I am blessed to befree. I thank you kindly.”

3:00 p.m. Kennesaw, Shree’s Voice: “Move directly to the next site. There, dofires by the river, as near to the river as pos-sible. Put the ash into the river. Many souls areto be freed today at the Peachtree site. After-wards you will be guided.

14

“It is most important to have SATSANG. “All beings are being freed. Your instrumentneeds clearing and rest for rejuvenation. “This heals the land and water, the scars of anation so divided. These divisions still remain,some with fine lines, others with walls andboulders between. Division leads to disintegra-tion. Come together as ONE. From this, learnhumility. From this, learn UNITY. Let yourbrothers and sisters not be counted by theirrace or by their faith. All are ONE in the Eyesof GOD. This is the lesson for all humankindand individually, for each and every one of youinvolved with this very sensitive, highlycharged, blessed work. May you experiencethe blessings of Almighty. OM.”

March 22, 2007 By the Chattahoochee RiverFollowing the map to guide us south, we foundthat most riverfront areas again were all residen-tial and quite palatial residences at that. Askingdirections from several sources, we finally foundthe riverfront park by the Chattahoochee River.We parked our vehicles and walked into theforest overlooking the river. It was beautiful andwe all felt that we had found the exact spotamongst the trees. There is a feeling that comesover us all once we have located the site. Cer-tainly, because of lack of outer direction, oftendenial of events having happened in the firstplace, we find ourselves falling back upon ourinner guidance which is always clear andpresent. Whether the guidance comes via voiceor vision or through one’s individual or collec-tive intuition, we all moved as if a greater Handwas at play. And we always knew it was!

We gathered in a circle on blankets in thewooded area just bordering the river. It wasquiet, but as always as we began the fire birdsseemed to be more present. Tom saw a whitegoose fly overhead and a flock of geese flewnoisily by us.

At first I didn’t see anything at all and I heardShree say: “At this site, it will take longer. They arecoming. They are coming in droves. Here theyare.”

My vision blurred and I felt a chill. I “saw” theslaves climbing up the banks through the forestapproaching our group. They all came from onedirection, which later I was told was from thenorth. A weary, fairly young woman cameforward to the front of the others and said, “We fell into water. We was carryin’ ouryoung ones. Some of us was carryin’ ourclothes in sacks and what little food we runaway with. “When they burnt the plantations, we hadnowhere to go. Some of us they pulled up andcarried with them, the army that is. Me, I ain’tmuch use to them with babies. We hid in thewoods. We walked and walked, dear Lord. Wethank you. But when you talk about us, whenyou write about us, please tell them all we wasnever scared. We know who is guiding ushome. We never had a doubt about that. Wefree now. We free now.”

A large man wearing big pants held up bysuspenders came up. He said his name. “Amos.”

15

Next, a man said, “Jesse.” “Oh, there was so much fightin’, all to freeus, but we never were free. Only now, becausethe good Lord has freed us. Tell our story withour words.”Another man with a deep voice said, “We never meant no one no harm. Theyscared of us. “We sing. We sing with you. Remember us. “May the good Lord bless you all.” “All is forgiven,” Amos said. “Yes, all is forgiven”, the woman added.A tall thin man spoke up. “We didn’t cheat no one. We didn’t takenothin’. We just got outa there fast as we could.The walls was comin’ down. We slipped out theback and ran. No way to live. No way to live.”I could feel he was angry. So, I said, ”Forgive. Have no anger. Let it go. Forgivethem, so you are free.”He replied instantly and with more peace, “Yes I forgive. And I praise the Lord.”The woman commented, “This is one bitter river. So many of us waslost in these waters. You be cleaning this rivernow.”

All of us sang hymns and songs, releasing oursorrow to make way for the joy. At the end, aswe were gathering to return to our vehicles,Shree said, “The work that has been done on this trip isphenomenal. All the souls made ready forrelease have been freed. Celebrate this re-lease. Rejoice in the Grace of Almighty Father.

OM TAT SAT.”

We returned to the same hotel in Kennesaw justin time for sunset. Shree’s voice guided: “Rejoice in work well done. No one wouldbelieve what was done here. At each site, soulswere released.”

We ended our journey all together, dining out atan Italian restaurant near our hotel, followed byan impromptu Satsang. It is hard to imagine theGrace of Almighty which guided our every step.We came together with love and positive intentto heal, and Shree led us to our sisters andbrothers who were calling out to be freed. Whatcompassion Almighty has and is teaching us. Weare His foot soldiers, grateful to be in the Armyof Almighty, with love as our only weapon andHis Grace, our shield from all harm. Thank You,Shree!
