personality. Yet, I continued to feel timid. Then I wrote my first book, Cuing the Ties that Bind, and took it to Swami. Swami said that I would be talking to many people. I said to Swami, ‘But Swami, I’m afraid to talk to a lot of people.’ Swami looked surprised and answered, ‘But you speak to people all day.’ ‘Yes but only to one at a time.’ He countered, ’But one plus one plus one plus one equals one. All are one.’ Then he reassured me that he would help. He is always there.”
Swami says that in spiritual arithmetic, one and one equals one, that there is an underlying oneness in the seeming diversity. By this arithmetic, by speaking to one, you are speaking to all.
So Phyllis thought that she would try. At her first speaking engagement, the hall was filled, and she trembled. She made up her mind to try Swami’s suggestion. Of course, that takes a bit of courage, but I’ve heard Swami say, “Stand up and walk forward boldly on the path, and I will be with you, leading you, guiding you, and bringing you through safely.”
Phyllis was in front of the audience and began to tremble with fear. She said, “Oh, Swami, I pray that you speak through me.” To her uer surprise, she experienced herself stepping aside, and Swami did come through!
That was the beginning of Phyllis Krystal’s speaking tours. Now, at age 90, she has found the strength through Swami to travel the world talking about Swami, explaining her psychological approach to detachment and love, and to finding God inside. She has been all over Europe, Russia, Australia, and the USA. She told me that she knows that the only way she can be so active is because Swami is doing the action through her. When she offers her actions to Swami and accepts the consequences as his, she finds unlimited strength. Phyllis knows that this inner feeling of Swami’s love and strength is a sign of her oneness with Swami and that as the experience evolves she will realize her total oneness with God. Dr. Hislop made this very same statement when I asked him where he got all his energy at such an advanced age.
