ShaktiMama

I received Shaktipat from a western Master in 1991, Dr. Larry Jensen. Here he is giving Shaktipat in a video. yeah, I have talked about this in great length in this thread how this happened in several posts...long posts. If you do a search on my name in this thread they are easily accessible to review. I went to see Guru Mayi with a friend. She thought that since my kundalini was pretty active that I might benefit from meeting her guru. The other gurus I saw in visions. They did not live on the earth plane anymore. They came and visited me. They gave me shaktipat and worked on my blocks. s

no you are not. i could make introductions to other brothas of different mothas if you are so inclined.

Yep, and that immeasurable would be compassion. I have said in the past that I thought compassion was over-rated. (blasphemy again). Maybe it is just that those who espouse compassion leave a tin like vibration in the air rather than a pure brilliant tone. So i usually just say that to piss them off. I think I was at the ashram in the summer of 95 or 96. It was there i heard Gury Mayi say, "shakti loves sugar". I knew she came into the kitchen to bless the meal before it went out. Who knows. Maybe we passed by each other. thanks for the input. it is fun. bedtime now...work comes early... s

I associate Shakti with that blue light. It is an electric blue and it emanates from my heart. It has a coolness almost menthol touch to it. The blue mist I see through the whole universes. I also have a Sri Yantra that sits within me. Other people told me that they have seen it so I don't feel like I am crazy. I see blue light everywhere in meditation and in my inner vision. When I give shaktipat it is present. Not to mangle or disrespect Buddhism...lol...but I have also been told that I am of the Vajra light by other adepts along the way. Dont' ask me to name names because I don't really keep track. I am not really sure I know what that means yet but I do know it makes me something of a bad ass on other plains (planes?) so I can protect students and others and myself from attack. I do not want to lead the thread off track so if you want to explain it to me you can send me a link or two. Listening to you and others talk makes me think I have racked up a lot of karmic brownie points because this is all about grace for me for this all continually surprises and fills me with wonder. May Shakti continually bless you, s I wanted to add that the blue light is very similar to the color blue in my profile pic. That is why someone made that picture because people associate me with that color.

I received Shaktipat from her at the South Fallsburg Ashram in upstate NY. I was taken up to her chair for a private intro and we exchanged a few Hellos and smiled at each other. Later, as I slept in one of the dorms I could feel the shakti responding and moving through me. The whole ashram vibrates with Shakti. The soles of your feet will burn from walking on the grounds. I love the gigantic statue of Shiva and the other figurines around the ashram. I relayed before in this thread that I have also received Shaktipat from Mutkananda after he died. He came also and worked on my third eye breaking up the crystallization that was there. That was a wild night. My spine was popping and cracking like I was getting a chiropractic adjustment and one of my knees popped and straightened out. I have also met Babaji, the boy guru, Nityananda, and Yogananda on other plains and have received blessings and Shaktipat from them. Pretty odd thing to happen to someone who self identified as a Christian at the time. This happened after I spent the weekend at an intensive at the ashram and had gone home, maybe a year later. Guru Mayi once came to me when I was deeply unsettled in my heart and she touched it. It was then I had the realization that peace in your heart was a physical expression not just a mental construct. Instant calm. s

His story is he is a devout Mormon who came to me and Dr. Morris and took KAP with us in 2005. He is a physical therapist and he would tell his family and friends that he was taking a "spine seminar". He had read Glenn's books and felt inspired to come take KAP. Someone was passing around a keeney book and it spoke to him and for the last 3 years or so he has been exploring the Bushman traditions with Keeney as a mentor. He went to Africa last summer and nearly died from dehydration in the Bushman camp. He has a deep connection to the Bushmen and Africa. He went there on a mission for his church when he was 18 and fell in love with the country and it's people. For him it is like going home to be with his people. He is very juicy with Shakti Kundalini and will probably be responsible with his students and friends of causing a Shakti revolution in Utah. His relationship with God and Shakti has transformed him and his service to the world. If you live in Salt Lake area and you have a pain I would suggest to go see him. His sessions with clients will activate the kundalini in those who are ready. Plus he is an intuitive healer. I have been to a couple of his fire dances in the late evening. I was sitting quietly by such a drumming event out in the wilds of Utah, in the canyons, and a Bushman came and sat next to me for awhile. I was not feeling well at the time and he gave me strength and comfort. I wish I could be more forthcoming but he tells his own story with greater heart than I could. If you like, write me off list and I will send you his email address. s

I love the whole tradition of the Bushman,the little I know of it. As for Brad Kenney, he has an amazing story. I would start with his book, American Shaman. His first awakening came when he was in college. He was flooded with an energy in a chapel that caused him to shiver and have a transcendent experience. This started him on the path he is now. You will see parallels to kundalini activity. He talks about his travels to learn from other teachers in other traditions. If you didnt think all this stuff is related this book will help you see the common thread of what is called kundalini appearing in other spiritual traditions. http://www.amazon.com/American-Shaman-Odyssey-Healing-Traditions/dp/0415948223/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277412387&sr=1-7 That book covers Brad's credentiasl as well-known, well-respected PhD psychotherapist who has written many scholarly papers and lectured around the world. People on this board might be interested in Seiki Jutsu, a thermo nuclear form of Reiki. Its probably not even Reiki like to tell you the truth. It sounds like a cross between shaking horse/standing stake, some asanas, beating the walls.. you can read the story of the last grand master here, Ikuko Osumi, little elderly lady who recently passed and made Brad her lineage heir if I am not mistaken. http://www.amazon.com/Ikuko-Japanese-Master-Profiles-Healing/dp/0966650913 The second book I would read is Bushman Shaman:Awaken the Spirit in Ecstatic Dance. http://www.amazon.com/Bushman-Shaman-Awakening-through-Ecstatic/dp/0892816988/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277412387&sr=1-5 This book details the time he spent with the Bushmen and what he learned. Keeney is powerful as an initiator and healer. I would recommend taking a weekend with him if you can drum up the money. s

re: weird resonance. I probably wasnt being clear. Shaktipat is about grace and it can be delivered through any vehicle in any condition or lack of condition I am more talking about those of us who in the course of becoming trainers and guides will give shaktipat to more than just family and friends. It certainly is a requirement to developed virtue, etc because if it is genuine kundalini awakening, SHE WILL MAKE YOU develop virtue or else. LOL This is why I wonder about the rabid attachment that some place on sadhana. My experience with Shakti is I had no choice but to meditate. She MADE me meditate and She Did the meditating of me which was nice cause I had really no meditation instruction except for a couple of times with the Maharishi crowd when I was 16. Sometimes when I lead kundalini meditations I say it is not necessary to know how to meditate (yeah, blasphemy )because the energy will meditate you. Really, wanting some sense of virtue in transmitters is wishful thinking on my part. Since Shakti flows through any vessel she chooses sometimes that vessel we wouldnt choose... well..it is wishful thinking. The vessel won't stain the Shakti (if it does, it is not Shakti) and the Shakti will certainly benefit the vessel even though my human eyes and prejudments might insist otherwise. I think we then enter into the realm of miracles and grace because the process starts entering into an area where we can't explain why. So it does have bearing after Shaktipat because all those things right action, etc. should start to arise naturally after Shaktipat. If they don't I wonder about the authenticity or process of the k rising. A teacher then is more of a guide to help refine what is already unfolding. That's what Morris and Santiago have given me, refinement. I tell people Shakti loves to be shared. She jumps from people to people. She's viral (this all interesting to study on an electromagnetic frequency level). I find this experience is often in direct contradiction to what I have heard guru types tell people....don't share it...keep it to yourself so it can work on you. In a sangha, the more you share the more it exponentially grows in presence. yummmmm. Everybody benefits. So, yes, I can sit and concentrate and send chi but I really can't do that with Shakti. It is someone else's yearning for connection with that energy, that opens me as a conduit and it begins to flow, giving me Shaktipat as it flows through me. Of course, it leaves a residue on me and the more I share the residue builds up till I beome supersaturated, an overflowing cup. I hope that clarifies some. May the joy of Shakti gently flow. L O V E s

You say low level and I say spiritual babies In my opinions (and I have a lot about this subject) Shaktipat at it's core is about Love and Grace. It's not about me and you, men and women or Gurus, regular gurus or Maha gurus. I won't get into a discussion/definition about Love because regardless people want it. Grace is unmerited favor or IOWs, it is not earned by good deeds, perfect practice, good character, or how many whats of what I know or can demonstrate. The Christian tradition says a lot about Grace. Grace was offered to one of the criminals who was hanging next to Jesus when they were being crucified on the cross. "This day you too shall be in Heaven with me." Whether or not you believe the event is true it does outpicture perfectly to me what grace is: heaven is given to those who don't deserve, in our human judgment, to go there. Babies will choke on everything but milk. Solid food and meat are actually causes for death to them (speak up dads and moms). I have given meat to spiritual babies. They either vomit it back up all over me, smelly and hardly digested, or they like to shit all over me. baby poop will clear a room like nothing else. I think Kundalini awakening is everyone's birth right. (Christianity would call this the second birth and call Shakti the Holy Spirit or the Comforter.)I think Shaktipat is something that people should be able to do but it is a long process that involves things like developing virtues, right action, right behavior, internal cultivation, etc. Muktananda wrote in Kundalini:the secret of life (out of print but what a great little book) that there are 7 levels of Shaktipat and within those 7 levels are 7 more levels and within those are.... So think on that. Mutkananda came to the west on direct instruction of his guru, Nitiyanda (sp?). He did not want to come but he did. In spite of the mistakes he made he did bring some authentic Shaktipat to the west and to the lay people. Reports are that he was a Shaktipat Guru, a powerhouse. Did everyone who got Maha Shaktipat from him, did it take and settle in their bodies? If it did I think the world would be looking a little different for he gave en masse to thousands and to smaller and private groups. So that tells me that there is some responsibility of the Shaktipatee to work on their own development. Adults are very often babies in grown up bodies both emotionally and spiritually. Full on Maha, Death touch shaktipat I am not sure about because it is not for me to say who needs what. Some people who get shaktipat from me are disabled, knocked to the floor from the 'force' of it. Some are like, "what? I don't feel nuthin." Same event, same time, same room but different responses. To me it all pretty much feels the same as a giver. (I recieve Shaktipat as I give.) Sometimes I don't feel it all from my end but people will write or tell me and share their experiences and thanks. Often times when I give shaktipat I just touch the heart chakra. Start there first. It is gentle, sweet, soft. Purists will talk about start in the base. Some purists will say No...crown first. Well, when working with the young in spiritual growth the heart can be the gentlest and safest. Yeah I work in the lower and higher but with beginners I often start with the heart. Global Shaktipat is for everyone whatever the level of development. Shakti comes to each as She sees appropriate. Life is a meditation. That comes to everyone when their practice has developed for awhile. So whether walking or talking or working or making a cake or fighting there is a meditative quality to all of it. I was sitting yesterday on the couch quietly thinking of my students and friends and the Shakti just ramped up and began to flow. My heart turned inside out and I was having trouble discriminating between me, the world, and the flow. In my inner vision I could see our earth hanging in space. I then saw this blue mist begin to cover the earth and I was told that is the movement of Shakti. My heart began to ache and beat with such an excruciating sensation of bliss and love. It still feels a bit achey right now as I write as tenderness and Shakti still flows. So Santiago and I work with the general public, the beginners. My students, after they become opened and flow is established permanently, I tell them to go try out other systems if they like. One went on to become a certified kunlun instructor. Another is a yoga teacher with a popular studio who favors Vispasanna. Another who was initially terrified to learn from myself and Dr. Morris and was equally terrified to get Shaktipat from us is now an appprentice to the Bushman Shamans in Africa and is able to transmit kundalini and heal with a very high level understanding. I have much to share about this but I really need to go do rounds on my patients. Speaking only from my own experiences, s

i posted on this page this morning for review. no one saw it. http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/7759-shaktipat/page__st__320 #388

something you might also try to increase sensitivity go outside just before the sun comes up tune in to your environment you might be able to feel when the energy turns from yin to yang and feel the earth exhale as the sun breaks across the horizon good luck s

don't know much about this subject but i think you are all buddhaful s

hairbreathing. yep that's what i said, hairbreathing. like skin breathing or bone breathing but breathe through the hair instead. you will look like a yeti soon enough. i got hair growing in places that women don't really like now... damn s

I miss those winds. They are a lot of fun. Sensation, pleasure. Sigh... damn s

no problem. i like what you say about death touch shaktipat and wimpy shaktipat. in my experience i have seen a wide variety of demos or have had it. there are a lot of variables which can determine if you have what type. i have seen shaktipat that knocks people to their knees will full on spontaneous kriyas for hours or even days. that has been my experience with Dr. Jensen. But I have seen people get Shaktipat from him that has no effect that I can see but what I now know is that the affect can be accumulative over the years. Another variable is how much prep has the "shaktipatee" gotten before the transmission. Generally, the cleaner the "pipes", energy body, because of some internal cultivation practices like qigong or yoga or even therapy and in the presence of an authentic shaktipater...these people will have profound experiences. So, I would say those are my favorites to work with. I remember once giving Shaktipat to a guy who had a three year qigong practice with Shaolin GrandMaster Jin Fa of Vancouver. When I give shaktipat in person to someone who has a half hour or so appointment with me I spend time removing energetic blocks, looking deep within them, and sharing what I find. When I got to his heart chakra and laid my hands on it he spontanteously erupted into deep bliss and the most beautiful mudras, asanas, and spontaneous qigong that I had ever seen. I never did get to his crown. This activity went on for a few hours and then we took him to where he was staying. I received a phone call the next morning that the process was continuing and he was having a hard time because the boundaries between the real and the REAL were dissolving. He was scared. Seeing all kinds of things so he was a bit in overwhelm. I had them bring him back to my apartment, made a "nest" for him on the floor of my living room with lots of pillows and blankets, and let him stay for the next five days. There I could keep an eye on him and soothe the flow which sometimes just required a touch or a look. My cat Hunter also helped by curling up to him and giving him comfort. Not that it was painful physically but there is some fear when these changes happen. As a side note: Jin Fa wanted to know who zapped him with "bad" energy when my friend went back to Vancouver. I came to learn that bad energy is really an expression of territorialism because you learn with one teacher and one teacher only. Anything else is bad. One reason I know this is because I eventually met Jin Fa and we actually taught a couple of seminars in tandem together. He became quite fond of me. We never told him where that "bad" energy came from. Sometimes people come to me and demand to get Shaktipat with the idea well, if I pay I can get. No one gets it who demands. Never. I don't care how much money you give me. People are paying for my time, expertise, etc. never for the actual Shaktipat. I have turned away my fair share of people seeking shaktipat. Santi does too. Santiago has also given some serious thought to taking all comers. You really only have to be shit on a couple of times or in his case more than a couple of times and realize that might not be such a good thing to offer everything to everybody. People who are responsible Shaktipatters will look after the person's welfare long after the Shaktipat is over. Some people, no matter how much prep work they have done, it is like throwing seed upon rocks. Nothing grows. That's alright because if they got death touch shaktipat they might just feel like they are going to die. The most powerful death touch shaktipat came to me not from a person. Generally, that comes from an appearance by Shiva, Ganesh, Kali or sometimes it is just Consciousness. I once gave shaktipat to an individual because he kept pestering me over and over and over. So when I cleared a block, 5 minutes later it would grow back. I would clear and it would grow back. I tried for several times and Shaktipat did not really take in him. I can also speak to Shaktipat by holding an object that is worn by someone who gives Shaktipat. I just love holding Santi's prayer beads. He has been using them in prayer/chanting for so long it's like sweet bliss Shaktipat to wear them. Some of my students like to put on my shawl because it absorbs the Shakti when I teach and they like to sit and just smile. There has to be, in my experiences, a quality of longing or desire for whatever Shakti/God/dess/Spirit/Source can bring to the person. The more it is like uniting with a lover, a la Rumi, the deeper the unfolding the more Shakti settles in. So if that is in place and even if there is no previous prep work the process can be profound. Some traditions substitute teacher/guru/spiritual personage in that place of the Source. So the characteristic of submission to that which you adore is an important ingredient. It is important though that that substitute knows that they are just the vessel and not the Source. Some get confused and begin to believe the adoration of the students is about them and not about the Source. Big trap. I tell my students that I am an initiator, a catlayst. The energy/kundalini/bliss they feel is their own, not mine. When someone has a cultivation practice and a combination of a submissive adoration it can be a recipe for something incredible. I will not attempt to describe the incredible because what is incredible to one is not so to another. Whatever unfolds is only meaningful for that person. The biggest variable is the Unknown. Sometimes Shakti says, "no." hope that helps some, s

understood. thank you s

I would send you a membership card but it is not a very exclusive club. s

No worries. I know you do. I can feel it. So i don't know how to do individual quoting things. JAJ: not my finest hour. I was wrong and wrong in my approach. I got caught up in the male frat behavior that sometimes goes on here. That was a major fail. I apologized many times but was still chopped up, shredded and shit on until the moderators intervened. Max: One of his certified instructors was at first a student and is now a friend of mine. I keep out of it. Criticism: All well and good but I often feel like shark bait. I am not used to being on a list of mostly men who think shredding each other is all in good fun and then lets all go out and have a beer. Santi just shrugs it off and forgets about it. Men do that. Women don't. I don't think I will ever get used to it. Attacks: eh, forget it. For the record: I do not feel attacked by you. Never have. Master stuff: For the record, I see myself as more of an older sister/tribal elder who has something to share. Some of the younger ones, especially from Europe, call me Sri Ma or Mataji. Uh, that took awhile to get used to cause I sure don't feel like someone's mom. My understanding of mastery, my take on it, requires balance in all areas and not just a spiritual discipline. I aint there yet. I may be an idiot savant in a some area but in others I am still a learning. How often can we talk about gurus and spiritual leaders who have difficulty keeping their penis in their pants? Hello. That's not mastery no matter how well they can expound on sacred scriptures and what kind of mojo juice they radiate. It doesn't diminish from their accomplishments but it certainly calls into question definitions of enlightenment and Master. It took me a long time to learn how to differentiate talent from virtue. They aint always related at all but it is common to equate talent (shaktipat wizard) with virtue. Own some of this: I have no control over what people say about me. For years I have jumped in and said, no don't say this for I am no one. One time someone built a website and put me up as a shaktipat master. It looked like a freaking shrine. I made them take that down immediately as soon as I found out. Jeez...calling me a master makes me terribly uncomfortable. I have never gone to master school. I know my personal life. I fuck up way too much to ever wear that title. Where in the world people still get the idea that we think we are perfect we will never know. I swear, I have never heard the word fart said so much until i sit on a chat with some of the KAP students. Maybe cause a good portion of them are young men in college. Ok...maybe I deny it too often so it makes people think differently but I do get tired of it all. No one has given me a guidebook on how to do this what I do.I am a practicing human being, one of the last imperfect ones. I am immature. I just can't win. I say I am not a master then someone comes and says I am and then someone comes along and says we are both full of crap. I give up. I can only speak from my own experiences. When I share my experiences people think or say I am a master or enlightened or whatever. Sorry...those are just experiences. Experiences don't make a master or enlightenement. Just byways on the path. I am, like stoner says, learning my stuff along the school of hard knocks path. I was fortunate to have met Dr. Morris and Santiago who do have traditional training and had, have there fair share of gurus and masters. So the unit, as you call Santi and myself , has both to offer. Makes a unique offering and can make things more efficient in operation. Santiago has said to me, "You need to work on such and such. It's done like this traditionally." He actually say it in the most kind way. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. He is saying i need walking practice now. I believe it. I try to walk like they teach in KAP and I start falling over on my own feet. I look like an idiot. One can certainly be a master or enlightened without kundalini. It might take longer but it does happen. So that is just a little bit. s

my dad used to say to me when I was little girl, "no comments from the peanut gallery" when he thought I was being a smart ass. So you liked to watch Howdy Doody too? Before my time. My dad is 86. So maybe you don't think what I say has value and is detrimental to this conversation? I did not know this conversation was just about you and your info. Was it your intent to be so dimissive of me? It is hard for me to know for sure because you won't say my name in public although you seem to like to talk about me and my perceived shortcomings a lot. I wasnt even talking about you but referencing how often people quote and quote their gurus and copy and paste text after text to justify what they believe rather than hear from their personal experiences how their lives have been transformed by their practice. Here's my quote for the day taken from a review of "Ordinary People as Monks and Mystics" by Marsha Sinetar (1986) A good question for the journey is, how can we laypeople best avoid the spiritual vanity of a self-constructed "holy" life or a preoccupation with self-fulfillment, and how can we most humbly and authentically, like little children, love God and neighbor? You come across as paternal and even patronizing. Do you know that? s

I have much gratitude and I feel your love. Thank you so much. I am always on the beginner path or as they say, "always a white belt" Much love back at you. May the joy of Shakti gently flow, s

Time: June 21st at 1130 pm Miami time facilitated by Susan and Santiago Note; This event will not be on Skype. It is simple to participate in the Global Shaktipat. First, it does run for 24 hours so if you are sleeping at the time transmission is set you can tune in later. Second: all you need to do is to do your normal meditation posture. You can even sit in a chair or lay down. It helps to have your spine straight and relaxed to facilitate the flow of energy. If you sit in a chair, sit with your palms face up on your lap to receive the energy. Breath your normal breath. If you are familiar with abdominal breathing, use that. It helps to sit in a quiet place where you will be undisturbed. You may play music if you wish. Third: Say in your heart, "I give consent to receive Shaktipat. May the Divine bless me as I am willing to receive." Fourth: Maintain an attitude of gratitude and give thanks to your Creator for the transmission. Fifth: Think and visualize of your head and heart chakras opening to receive just like a flower opening to receive the sun's light.... You may experience many symptoms, a few symptoms or no symptoms during the transmission. Some common ones are heat, coolness, feeling pressure on your skin or in your body, a sensation of a breeze or wind moving in the room, visions. Your hands or other parts of your body may feel tingling. You may feel lightheaded. How to participate safely Please drink plenty of water during that 24 hour period and try to get some quality rest. Shakti brings about change and can some times detox negative energies from the energy and body rather rapidly. To benefit the most out of the experience place the tongue on the roof of the mouth on the upper palate above front teeth. This connects your Yin & Yang circuits and aids you in having a safer experience. Also make sure to afterward, or within that 24 hour period, go for a nice walk barefoot on Mother Earth so you help to ground your energies. Maintain your spine ERECT naturally. Only Beings that speak the truth are allowed to participate. This event is for the blessing and benefit of Mother Earth and all the beings who walk upon her. To show your gratitude: Please donate to earthquake relief organizations: http://www.haitihosp.org/lHopital_de_la_Communaute_Haitienne/Home.htm http://doctorswithoutborders.org/ http://worldvision.com/ http://mercycorps.org/ http://www.samaritanspurse.org/ http://islamicrelief.com/

This might be helpful. But as you can see on the other thread it is debated hotly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaktipat s

What ever it is you have you have direct experience of what ever it is. Your energy runs deep, cool, and soothing. It feels anchored, expansive, and smooth, like Shiva consciousness. You obviously know what you are talking about not just from reading in books or parroting a guru. Thanks for that little bit of darshan. Much gratitude, Susan

When I read yangui's posts I always get the distinct impression he doesn't really read what I post because I feel accused of things I have never said. It seems he chooses words to make into flashpoints without reading the context they are in. Sound familiar? So what happens is whole posts are created around his impressions of things he assumed, creating an illusion of me of which I have never claimed or put forth. I said on June 12 in this thread I think it is not a good thing to call oneself a master of anything. Mastery is a life long pursuit. Walking the path of kundalini development is no different. Let other people say who you are....remain silent and let the results speak for themselves. All I have ever talked about in this thread are my own personal experiences with Shakti. It seems that people who read what happens to me believe then that I am calling myself a Master or Enlightened or whatever based on what I share in my experiences. I never made those claims. People get so offended about what I say it is important for them to run to other people and tell on me. "O.M.G!!! She just keeps talking BULLSHIT" I have been almost physically attacked in person by people who get so offended by my story. Maybe we should be asking why that is instead of saying I have no right to claim mastership of which I have NEVER done. What's that bumper sticker I see every now and then: "well behaved women never make history"? This happens a lot so I am getting used to it. I share my experiences freely and there is always one or two ( or here 10)in the audience who start this "how can she call herself a Master... She is not enlightened....etc." I have never, ever, said I was (never have in my 20+ years) so why do people get so angry and defensive? How many times since I have been on this board for the last 6 months have people seen me post that I am not enlightened. Personally, I think enlightenment is a cultural myth. I think enlightenment is an attachment and conceit of the luxury class. Who fucking cares? Tell me what you do for world service and not how bright and shiny your brain and lineages are. I see the shining light of Consciousness everywhere, in Matter and Antimatter, living and dead, material and immaterial. Kundalini runs through my bones like a Living Electric River. Does that make me enlightened, a master, an enlightened master? It does not matter to me and there are plenty of people already who have decided passionately one way or another. I have no secrets. I have no lineage. Everything I initially learned and still learn (95%)I know about Shakti/Divine Source/Cosmic Energy/Shiva/Consciousness comes from DIRECT EXPERIENCE. For some that is valuable and for some it is not. I still learn like this every day in my walking with Shakti/Shiva/God. I am going to say things now that you can find written about me and by me anywhere. Please pay attention because I am not here to take over the world of Hindu Shaktipat and make it my own so stop being so offended and scared that I am. 1} I have never said ONCE since my k awoke that i am a master. 2) I have never said ONCE since my k awoke that i am enlightened. 3) I have said many, many times that no major spiritual tradition has a lock on Divine Energy, Shakti, Shiva, God, Ruah, etc. etc. etc. 4) Shaktipat is easy. No big deal. 5) Awakening Kundalini is simple. It's living with it for the rest of your life that can be difficult. 6) When I got shaktipat I did not know what it was. I did not know what the term kundalini was. I did not know what Shiva Shakti, etc was. Hinduism was/is as foreign to me as being born in India. 7) I am a mystic and I am not a spiritual technocrat who identifies with one system. Some people need that and it is OK. I don't. So I could carry on this conversation but I have to work. lovely, soft, shakti blessings to you all, s

Just musing here: Does recognizing that you have a rainbow body make you a Buddhist or just that you have a rainbow body? Can one describe the rainbow body without using Buddhist or Taoist terms? I always think of what we are as something indescribeable. It is the description that limits what that is. People from 5 completely different traditions are looking at a shining light. Does each traditions perceptions make them have ownership of that what they are looking at or just ownership of the descriptions? And do we beat people up because our descriptions and perceptions don't match even though we are looking at that same thing. There are far more similiarites with this than differences the higher you raise your level of looking. It all gets so confusing for me because I am just standing there in awe looking at the shining light. s
