To Sivadancer

[Guest guest]

Greetings Sivadancer, just the right person. I have been waiting for

you. But before that I like to reply to your statement :

 

"Nora, I'm surprised you are not shocked."

I am as shock as anybody. My first concern is for the new members who

are not familiar with Tantra. The other moderators are shock too,

that we have a conference at night to discuss about the group focus.

I shall post the transcripts of the conference for the members to

read so that everybody have an idea what we talked about [ this is

with the permission of the other moderators]

 

`Now you must be wondering why on earth did I ask the question . Lets

go back to message 4429, what did I asked : "Can you tell me more

about this dirty being?"

 

Why am I interested in this dirty being. Over at this part of the

world, there is a myth about a "pontianak" [ a malay verse ].

According to the myth these are woman who died during childbirth or

during their pregnancy. They are supposedly a blood sucking being who

target man only. I heard so much about her, that it is my wish that

perhaps DEVI would allow me to meet this "pontianak'. Are

they really

what society perceived them to be or it is just a myth, used to

disseminate fear amongst the people here. She might just be another

innocent lost soul, seeking salvation. So I am trying to connect

these "pontianak" and the Dakini the dirty being that Dakinic

monk

mention. From what I gather there is no ritual or sadhana with

regards to this `pontianak' That is all !

 

"Any sadhak with any sense of responsibility will explain the

symbolisms, especially to a group

where no one claims to be a master -- EVEN THE ONE GIVING OUT THE

SADHANAS"

I agreed with you on this 100%. There are certain things one cannot

discuss in the group.

 

"No. It's like pulling teeth to get him to say anything "useful"

and

then he comes out with this kind of sadhana which NOBODY asked

for"

 

Do we know that this will happen? Sometimes the unexpected events

happen, which jolt us all. That is why I laugh, not at anybody but at

myself.

 

Now for something serious , I like to bring to your attention to this

statement :

 

"In the deep, dreamless sleep, one rests with Brahman.In the

waking

state, one rests with Brahman only after rising beyond Maya. All else

is illusion whether waking or sleeping."

 

What is your opinion with regards to this statement as a Shakta? And

Mary Ann question us : What is the goal of Shaktism? We have discuss

this briefly last night during our conference, but I love to hear

you comments on this.
