who I am and statement

November 25, 2007

hello chrism and everyone else

I am happy to have found this site quite randomly while searching

around for info about kundalini.

i am mikael, but call me misha. it's my russian name and i'm growing

fond of it.. a little about me. i'm currently in college studying

eastern philosophy and asian culture/history.

i've never had visions of angels or guides. the only paranormal

experience i've had was seeing the ghost of my grandfather when i was

10 years old. this experience has stayed with me as a deep thirst for

truth. the scientific explanation of death was never sufficient and

the question of what happens has always loomed over me.

i came upon the path about a year and a half ago, i took a year off

from school feeling very lost, alienated, and confused --i didn't know

where i was going and what i was doing. on one hand i wanted to follow

the path given to me by society, make money, and the other being

follow my passion for music. during my year off i really had a lot of

time to myself to ask questions and seek answers. i've always asked

questions.. i remember being 4 years old and wondering if people still

exist when they leave the room but i realized that i never asked the

right question, being " who am i? " this question i could not answer and

i dwelved deep into eastern philosophy which provided some answers.

buddhism taught me that the " me " i thought I was, was not the real

" me " and this set me firmly on the path of figuring out who the real

me is.

after studying the many paths, learning about nature from a shaman,

reading any book i could find on buddhism, hinduism, daoism, kabbalah,

gnosticism, shamanism and mysticism in general I noticed a 'universal'

philosophy behind all the teachings. i came to the conclusion that

every path leads to the same source and none is better than the other.

the traditions may differ, but the core is the same.

then, finally, after filling my head with more knowledge than it could

bare i realized that the only way to know, truly know, was through

experience. that is where i'm at now.. and that is what has led me to

kundalini. i seek direct experiential knowledge of truth mainly to

answer the question of who i truly am but also i seek answers about

reality and the purpose of it all, if any. I understand that shaktipat

is not a shortcut and is only the beginning. I am ready to begin, show

me the door and i will pass through it.

I shall keep in mind the safeties every moment I can and practice them

earnestly. I also declare the intent to work with the Kundalini to

positively affect the true Self no matter the effects it has on the

egoic mind. Finally, I give permission for a scatterfield to be placed

on my aura to help safely guide the kundalini.

well, there you have it.

thank you for reading my long and boring post

Welcome Misha, you have come to a good place. I am from the US but I

am a night owl so I am here a lot of time at night. Looking forward

to getting to know you more. I agree with Becky, your post was not

boring at all. I think doing the safeties for a start and joining in

the Shaktipat that is coming up would be that door your are seeking

to open. Blessings.

Welcome Misha! Not boring at all. I think it is wonderful that you

are a seeker. You didn't find this group by " accident " , you were led

here for a reason. I think you will learn much here. Glad to have

you with us!

actually, i really need to change my sleeping pattern as I hardly see

the sunlight anymore haha

i forgot to mention that what really set me on the path towards

kundalini was reading Glen Morris' works, path notes and shadow

strategies. i consider him my first teacher and am happy to hear that

Chrism has known him personally.

November 26, 2007

Yes I knew Glen and yes he was and is a good teacher. A good man with

a powerful message. - c
