Through his photographs, Satya Sai Baba revealed a new aspect of remembrance and healing; I experienced a vivid flow of grace, as each picture He gifted reflected the formless healing I had previously experienced, merging the dimensions of dreams, visions and ethereal moments to open the spiritual heart and mind as one… photographs became another story of healing through so many levels: from betrayal by channelers to physical paralysis and healing, to kundalini awakening and third eye opening, to betrayals of truth by censorship of His true Blessings. And the diminishment of women’s voices by routine. And shockingly by women themselves who pander to the censorship environment when it suits them. For me, there were no heroes other than the Avatar. The photographs became the alchemy of spirit and matter... healing through reflection and the story. Without the story, much of the photographs' solemnity is lost. In my experience, the photographs were as effective in my healing as the dreams and healing experiences in the hospital. My only intention is to follow His will for its release and express the discernement between the channeler's claims and His true essence. That is the main theme. The book available now is the bare-bones edited version, sanitized for the public. I am working on the compilation, raw and unvarnished, no holds barred, for release sometime this year or next. The photographs he gave me were as effective at bringing healing and explanation through symbolism as any inner vision or dream that arrives at a crossroads for any spiritual aspirant. the dreams I had once received in moments of solitude. now opened to a photograph and dream in the same day..Aligning perceived dimensions of inner and outer. Photography remains a new kind of language, and only Satya Sai Baba decides whether an image will have an effect beyond me. Whenever it did, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and placed my trust in the person receiving it to discover the value of the task that Satya Sai Baba had asked of me. As stated in the Sankalpa Blessing. The truth can only be discovered and felt in the spiritual heart and one's own reflection on it. The 'signs' He gave me in private were not intended for public claims or to increase my financial wealth. I am a senior living alone on a small pension. Though photographs of the avatar present a difficult case for assessment, I have studied photography. Satya Sai Baba also advises that one should use their education to earn a living, which is why the photographs are included and fall under two categories combined in this book. Healing is freely given, but paradoxically it cost me everything to receive it. I cannot prevent His image from being widely reproduced for sale or used by others without permission, in violation of copyright. Other than their existence is to be shared. Only after I snapped the photographs of Him, following the heart’s prompting, did I begin to consider releasing and publishing this retrospective of the spiritual genres of healing and gaslighting intertwined with His name. This release required private acknowledgment and guidance, since every effort I made for a “publisher to value His Blessings who claimed to be acting in Him and His name " was refused by silence. So for me to publish myself required more than my will or desire, I assure you, reader.

excerpt from chapter 4 The photograph of Shirdi Sai Baba hung by the entrance to an "old dhaba," a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the town of puttaparthy. The photograph struck me before I saw it the moment I passed in front of it. Whern I turned to what had struck my heart it was this photograph. I asked the proprietor if I could take a photograph of the photograph, which prompted the ancient proprietor to laugh out loud. He gave his permission, but prefaced it with the words “no one has ever successfully taken a photograph of that Photograph” They always turn out grey” or blank. As. I stood in front of the photograph the story of its history and rarity was retold. The specialness, so the proprietor told me is the depiction of the Linga at the heart centre. That it is an original photograph taken by the original photographer when Shirdi Sai Baba was alive. The story was, as he excitedly told me, his family, who were long time devotees who lived in Shirdi, were very close with the photographer who they received the original photograph from. That it was one of a kind. Not many originals exist as it was taken and developed by one of the 1st cameras around the turn of the century. ..the retelling of the stories of how the photographs were received were seeded in that moment and gift of the 1st incarnation of the Divine avatars and why they have come. His true image His true energy..cannot emit or create, inflict or exacerbate a wound it can only soothe it dissolve it heal it and honour it. The current is between Himself and the person viewing the photograph. now I have my say, with His Blessing to reveal the depth of the betrayals that lead to the gifts of megapixel healing that now exists in many devotees hearts the goal is to soothe those wounds.
