Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,

A loving Jai Baba to all.

We want to inform nearby community folks, as well as those who are coming to the Center from out of town for pilgrimage, that the Horry County Covid community level is now at HIGH. This level makes it especially important to wear masks when indoors. Please continue to refrain from coming to the Center with any symptoms. We are also reminded by those in the medical field that the virus is very contagious even a few days before symptoms appear.

As we look toward spring, Meher Center is very much hoping to host a Spring Cleaning Sahavas over the weekend of March 10-12. The event is meant to be a time when Baba’s lovers of all ages can come together and serve the Beloved at His home in the West. The focus of the event will be cleaning the buildings of the retreat and completing outdoor projects in preparation for the coming year, all in the spirit of sahavas: the give and take between lover and Beloved. 

Please keep a lookout next week for more details about the sahavas, and registration information.

This week we are featuring the first of two talks given by Kitty Davy, early disciple of Meher Baba’s and long-time resident of Meher Center, on ‘consciousness.’ Many of us remember the time when Kitty worked on and presented these talks. She saw this presentation as a way of further developing the relationship with her beloved Baba internally—now that He was physically gone.  

Kitty once said: “Looking back, however, I realize that above all other aspects of our early lives with Baba in India and in the West there was one fine thread that went onto the canvas and that fine thread, as I see it today, concerned consciousness.” Later she adds, “He was working to try to bring consciousness away from self and away from the many objects of illusion and duality, its wants and desires, to the one object of Himself. … And this gradual shift in consciousness grew as our love for Baba deepened.”*

In Baba’s love and service,

Family Letter #52

Read by Alisa Genovese

These are readings of a collection of letters written by Mani, Meher Baba’s sister, to the Western family of Baba lovers between 1956 and 1969.

In this inspiring and illuminating talk, Kitty Davy shares what she has learned about consciousness over the years. She begins with her personal experiences of Meher Baba’s patient and loving work to help His early lovers shift their consciousness “from the many to the One.” Then she focuses on what she has realized about consciousness from Baba’s writings and the writings of His lovers—and her own decades of trying to remember, please and serve Him.

Leatrice Johnson, daughter of Darwin and Jeanne Shaw, shares some of the magical times her family spent with Meher Baba. From her first embrace with Baba at the Lagoon Cabin, to cleaning His house, to glimpsing the unfathomable silence of His presence, Baba gave her gift after gift of understanding and love.
