Introduction of a newbie - Welcome Sand

[Guest guest]

Hello Sand,

Please develop your personal discipline.

 

Let your intention for this to occur supersede anything else. Dedicate

your life to it and be willing to surrender to it completely. Follow

the safeties and partake of the Shaktipats. Do not waiver in your

discipline or intentions or practice.

 

If you cannot adhere to these techniques and systems then perhaps the

path as given here is not for you. - blessings Sand - chrism

Dear Chrism,

Many thanks for your welcome. I have had a brief look at

the safeties and they seem to be fine. I'm not sure which

meditation you use though, as I couldn't open the link to

that section.

 

My own practice is, in fact, one of " surrender " . I used the

breath as an object until I gained first Jhana. Then I

understood the process of 'release' and rode that right

through the next three Jhanas and beyond.

 

This is how I meditate - without object, expectation or

clinging. Just releasing. As a Buddhist, I do not have a

God that I worship, rather I regard all things as play of

the mind arisen from the state of non-duality. It is

similar to the Kashmiri Shaivite philosophy, but even

more stripped-down, with as little 'intellectualisation'

as possible.

 

My interest in kundalini stems from the fact that I once

experienced the full force of it, but I was not at a spiritual

level which would have enabled me to become awakened.

It was a one-off.

 

It was about 20 years ago in the dream state and was the

most amazing thing that has ever happened to me, so having

brought my meditative practice to where it is today I am

keen to re-discover this phenomena.

 

I will have a deeper read of the information you present and

perhaps ask some questions, if that's okay, so that I may

have a clearer idea of how your system works.

 

As you say, I need to develop my discipline. I'd just like to

make sure I have it clear in my mind before I launch myself

at it :-)

 

Namaste

Sand
