Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”The Journey of Consciousness” July 13, 2026, on Baba Zoom
The Journey of Consciousness Culminating in Divine Love
The spiritual journey of consciousness, lovingly guided personally by Baba, proceeds through lifetimes from the head down to the heart, and from the heart ultimately into the soul, the “realm of the spirit” as Darwin refers to it. The base of operations for most people is located in the head, the mind, the realm of thoughts, beliefs and t

Along with others, Irwin had the honor of putting handfulls of earth on Baba's burial box before it was covered. He continued to stay in India along with his brother Eddie until the Darshan bega
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Opening to Divine Grace” June 30, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
Baba has said that His grace “is flowing sufficiently all the time to fill one and all receptacles everywhere,” but “there is rarely a vessel which is not filled with other things. A vessel must first be emptied before it can be filled by the flow of my grace. It is also my grace which helps a vessel to become completely emptied in the first place.” And He added, “
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ” Loving What Is—Yikes!” June 30, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
Sometimes when I would be with Darwin, he would make surprisingly fundamental observations about the Baba community, not critical but insightful, and I would take special note. On one occasion, he happened to say, very casually, that the Baba lovers don’t seem to be content in themselves and with the world around them. He would say, “Be content with what you have and are…Be

Dear folks of Baba,
My computer is still being repaired and so I am handicapped in what I can do as far as writing goes. For this reason, I am sending out an exchange I witnessed years ago of a woman who was saying goodbye to Mehera at Meherazad. It was one of those pivotal moments for me in my inner life with Baba in what it conveyed about moods and detachment. Such priceless moments na
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ""Street-Level" Love," June 8, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba, In a recent question and answer session in the Original Kitchen, a fairly new person to the Center asked, with genuine sincerity, “What is love?” Because the question was so fundamental and deep, no one among the group was readily forthcoming with an answer. There was a pregnant pause, I called out for help to Baba within, and this is what came out: “I think most of us know wha
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Our Real Work” June 1, 2026, live Baba Zoom
The Topic: Our Real Work
Dear folks of Baba,
In this chapter on Our Real Work, Darwin talks about finding what type of service we feel suited to do for Baba. A large percentage of the Baba people are in the healing and service professions, but the majority have positions in a wide range of vocations. Whatever the field, it is possible to serve Baba and participate in His work in the world

Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Our Personality Self,” May 25, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
Back in 1970, I was a young adult living in Schenectady, N.Y. near Darwin and Jeanne Shaw, two of Baba’s early Western followers who had met Him in the 1930s. The meetings held at their home were magical and brimming over with love. Darwin would read one of Baba’s discourses and share invaluable insights with us, and we always felt free to ask questions about what we could d
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Loving Baba in Others,” May 18, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
Baba said that for this advent “the path is through people.”
Baba once said, “All differences between one another are merely superficial and cannot affect the love we feel for each other deep down.” I take this to mean that the love we have for each other doesn’t grow; it is already complete; the challenge is to remove the impediments, the veils, that prevent us from seein
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”A Glorious Culmination,” May 11, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
There was a woman who came to the Center who had lost the person most dear to her in this life. She was still in grief. In talking with a fellow Baba lover, he felt she was indulging in her feelings and urged her to get over it. She was deeply hurt but didn’t say anything. He had the mental conviction from Baba’s writings that this world is just an illusion, all its happenin
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Completeness in Baba,” May 5, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Most people feel incomplete, that there is something profoundly missing in their lives. It is not their fault if they think that such a fulfillment lies in fame, recognition, a soul mate, material success, expertise in some field or producing a great work of art. And unfortunately, even when pursued, these goals are never fully secured. In the partial satisfaction of what they think is missing, th

Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Surrender, A Giving Over,” April 14, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
In attempting to surrender to Baba as He has asked of us, if we were to experience that we are actually surrendering our limited love in favor of His supremely unconditional Love, it would be much more acceptable. But we have to actually know and feel this greater Love in the One we are surrendering to. We are not comfortable with blind faith, and fortunately Baba al
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”To be natural most godly,” April 6, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
In my early years with Baba, I tended to do everything in the extreme. During one period, I had decided to say His name inwardly with each footstep. It was during this time in the early 1970s in Meherazad that Eruch was taking a group of us up Seclusion Hill, sharing stories as we climbed. I was ten or so feet behind Eruch, and at one point I looked up from taking Baba’s nam

Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”The Provisional Ego,” Mar 30, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
In the chapter on “Changing Our Address”, Darwin discusses at length the provisional ego recommended by Baba as a means of bypassing our ego, that small, limited self that hides our wholeness, our inherent divinity. Putting the provisional ego into practice is profoundly challenging and elusive, but it is where we are ultimately heading. How do we get there? What are the inter
Caregiving Discussion Group, March 28, 2026, live on Baba Zoom

Dear folks of Baba,
Darwin used to say that our longing is an invaluable essential in carrying us on our journey home to Baba. As he maintained, it is critical in “redirecting our energies and transmuting our lower desires to a higher purpose. We slow down the wanting machine…by diverting the imagination to more constructive ends. This is sub

Late Night Chat with JeffWolverton: E&G: ”A Most Intimate Practice,” Mar 16, 2026, live BabaZoom
The Topic: A Most Intimate Practice
Dear folks of Baba,
Of all the meditations for following Baba, I have found that the practice of “dressing our soul with Baba”—sahaj dhyan--has awakened for me the deepest intimacy with Him. He has said that if we follow this practice which takes only four seconds, we will eventually feel His presence throughout the day. Four seconds a day? No
Late Night Chat with JeffWolverton: E&G: ”Invisible Inclusive Current,” Mar 9, 2026, live BabaZoom
Dear folks of Baba,
In the next chapter, Darwin speaks of an invisible current flowing in everyone. He would actually gesture at the heart level that for most people this current is flowing toward themselves, toward “I, me and mine” and often stops there. They are focused on what will benefit them. He would say that this current needs to be reversed, it needs to flow in to Baba and out toward t
Late Night Chat with JeffWolverton: E&G: ”Overcoming Worry,” Mar 2, 2026, live BabaZoom
Dear folks of Baba,
Overcoming worry, which Baba repeatedly urged us to do, is an ongoing challenge of a lifetime. By comparison to many other weaknesses in ourselves, worry appears relatively harmless with few real consequences; we think of it as mainly our own problem, a minor botheration perhaps, and on the surface doesn’t seem to seriously affect others. For this reason, we often don

Because of this, we put conditions on Baba’s ability to bring about changes in us, and we also place limitations on our own ability. All these limitations we believe to be real are entirely self-programmed.”

The Topic: The Harm of Judging Ourselves
Dear folks of Baba,
Darwin was very insistent that we give up judging ourselves negatively, maintaining that it is one of the most insidious traps of the ego. We were young in Baba, and this was welcome news, because most of us had grown up regarding judging ourselves as a normal thing to do. Darwin has said, “Baba is not judgmental in any
Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Ascending Spiral of the Path,” Feb 9, 2026, live BabaZoom
Dear folks of Baba,
Darwin would sometimes describe life with Baba using the metaphor of an ascending spiral encircling Him to depict the spiritual path. It starts at the outer ring, and spirals upward and very gradually narrows around Baba until, sooner or later (usually a lot later), we are face-to-face with our Beloved! There are walls that separate the ever-narrowing spiral. To ex

Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: E&G: ”Bad to Good to Love,” Feb 3, 2026, live Baba Zoom
Dear folks of Baba,
In our early years with Baba, many of us were surprised that the mandali did not give “good” the prominent place in life that we did. Rather than being the ultimate quality we need to cultivate, it is something in the end we need to rise above, for most of us mistakenly conflated good with love, often with binding consequences. Good is a learned or cultivated behavior

Darwin Shaw’s book, Effort and Grace, is an in-depth inquiry into the inner life with Baba. It describes one of the major approaches to Baba by one who was devoted to Him for over 70 years, which culminated in a glorious intimacy with Him. Darwin was always so encouraging and optimistic in what we can do to open up to Baba’s immediate loving presence. He asserts that many of

Whether we like it or not, Baba has built into Creation the conflict between the opposites such as good and bad, masculine and feminine, justice and injustice, superiority and inferiority, repression and indulgence, moral and immoral.

Dear folks of Baba,
Once in Mandali Hall at Meherazad during the 1980s, Eruch shared with us about the phenomenon and nature of the dual realm, which divides everything into opposites. The triune attributes of Infinite Knowledge, Power and Bliss, when they come down into this world of Illusion, are divided into opposites. Thus, the Infinite Knowledge of God is divided into ignorance and worldly k

Losing Ourselves in What We Do
Dear folks of Baba,
Most of us are struggling with how to live in and relate to this world. When we were with Darwin, he spoke often of being detached from the world, but in my early years with Baba, it was not really clear to me what this meant. It was Eruch who helped me immensely to see life in this world from a unique and more comprehensive perspective.
