Meher Baba

In late September of 2016, I began a Twitter account dedicated to tweets relating to Meher Baba. I'd used my original Twitter account http://twitter.com/seanreeves to tweet about Baba daily for an entire year between 2015 and 2016. However, this account contained other content, mainly tweets about my daily day count, so I decided to split accounts. The Baba account can be found at http://twitter.com/BabaParvardigar. Here are some links to Meher Baba sites:

LIFE ETERNAL is a collection of spiritual teachings of Meher Baba, arranged by subject, in the order in which he gave them. The collection is divided into four sections:

INTRODUCTION

BOOK ONE

BOOK TWO

INCARNATIONS OF THE AVATAR

I first came to Meher Baba in 1993 and the circumstances leading up to that and what followed are being detailed in a booklet that I'm writing. Here is a link to it, even though it remains unfinished:

Suffice to say here that my contact with Meher Baba has been of the utmost significance in my life. My life is really divided into before and after Baba, although even in the before part I was being led, unbeknown to me, toward him.

I'm adding a link here to Kevin Shepherd's website at citzenthought.net which contains references to Meher Baba. He is the author of Meher Baba, an Iranian Liberal. It is a book that is available on Amazon at the hefty price of A$120 and that, by the author's account, has been blacklisted by people associated with Meher Baba centres. I've read his comments about the conflict and they seem quite reasonable. Whatever the rights and wrongs however, the conflict highlights the bickering that inevitably follows a spiritual figure's demise. The custodians of his or her legacy naturally want to protect and promote that legacy but their ego-based decisions inevitably lead to conflict and rifts. As time passes, these differences of opinion can become quite lethal as we've seen with Christianity and Islam. Anyway, the site has some very interesting links and deserves further scrutiny.
