DISQUS

This is a really good article. I never tire of hearing this simple truth. Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,

Interesting article. Dealing with the ego can be tough. Sometimes I feel the need to dis-identify and disentagle myself from everything (ie the world of small stuff) and other times I feel the need to identify with everything and attune my ego to the will of God. Two sides of the same coin but it is taking me a long time to find a balance. :-)

Best wishes,
Andrew.

Mother Theresa said, "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there."

I recently met a very clairvoyant man who told me what he saw happens during Deeksha. He saw that energy is taken from the 1st and 2nd chakras and sent to some beings who are off this planet. Then about 98% of the energy is returned to the crown chakra of the recipient. The other beings keep the 2% for themselves.

I'm not saying that this is what happens, I'm just telling you what he told me...

Hi Jonathan,

Excellent article. I have been wondering about these Diksha people and if it's any good. Plenty of people say good things about it, but when I heard about the guaranteed enlightenment for US$5500 red flags popped up.

From what I gather all spiritual teachers and organisations have dark secrets, bitter ex-members and blinded devotees. Robert Adams lived with Ramana Maharshi and Yogananda and said that even they treated some disciples in unspeakable ways.

So I think I'll have to do what you did and try it out for myself sometime.

Wow. This is really interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Happy Birthday Jonathan. Long time no blog. What are you up to?
