Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hello Beloveds, I've come to understand and experience the Shakti Energy as something very Sacred. In trying to build a needed context in the Christian tradition one Scripture reads, " Be Holy, for I AM Holy. " Refining my life in surrendering to the leadings of this awesome Energy and Presence, I find it leading me more and more into a life of holiness. The Refiner's Fire is a very well known concept in a Christian's life, and I find this to be a very real experience, and may be the connector I've been looking for. Today I found myself welcoming the Scatterfield with a deeper sense of what is happening, and a firmer commitment to surrender every part of my life that this Fire wants to consume, reflecting on the verse that says, " Our God is a consuming Fire. " In receiving Shaktipat I am saying, " Yes, Lord, I welcome Your Fire to purify and transform me, surrendering my bodies to Your Will. Another thing to think about, for the Christians in our Group, is that Chrism's lineage is rooted in the lineage that has been passed down through some of the great saints of the Christian world. And maybe he will say more about this. It is not foreign to our Path, just not well known. Our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit will surely cleanse the Temple. We are not our own, and the surrender that we are called upon to make, is our " reasonable service. " I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Rm. 12:1 Love, dhyana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Dhyana, I enjoyed reading your post. Even before I knew about kundalini, I believed the fire to be a good thing. I saw both the fire and the water as cleansing and purifying. Just as some see the glass half empty, some see it as half full. I see the water and fire as cleansing and purifying the world, where some see it as destroying it. They are not elements that cause the end of the world, but only cause the end to ignorance and illusions. Water symbolizes knowledge/logos and I guess you could say fire/Spirit is the ingredient that is needed to use that knowledge wisely. There is a verse in the old Testament that says, " My people perish because of the lack of knowledge and wisdom. " We need the cleansing of the word and the purifying of the Holy Spirit by fire.
