Synopsis
Explains the phenomenon of shaktipat, the spiritual transmission of power from a teacher to a devotee - Shows how technology has eroded personal power and how insight and awareness can play a higher role in our lives - Reveals how insight is the vehicle for profound self-transformation Shakti is the creative force, the bonding power, that holds the universe together. Shaktipat is the moment when enlightenment is conferred upon a student instantaneously by his master's touch. The guru conferring shaktipat creates a bond of power in those who have accepted him or her as their teacher. In Spiritual Initiation and the Breakthrough of Consciousness Joseph Chilton Pearce describes his experience of shaktipat from his teacher Swami Muktananda. From this awakening Pearce experiences a dramatic shift of mind and comes to the realization that perception is reality and that insight is our only vehicle for profound self-transformation. Oneness with God is the birthright of every individual, though we are culturally vaccinated to resist experiencing this higher consciousness. Our search for objective truth has lead us not to wholeness, but instead to the belief that we have no bond to each other, to God, or to an inanimate, physical world. Our technology reduces our ability to experience revelation and leads us instead toward the chatter of confused thinking. The challenge faced by modern humanity, which is the challenge Muktananda gave to his students, is to passionately gather up the scattered fragments of our lives and channel them into the creative realm, where with insight or revelation we will be able to become more than ourselves., Explains the phenomenon of shaktipat, the spiritual transmission of power from a teacher to a devotee * Shows how technology has eroded personal power and how insight and awareness can play a higher role in our lives * Reveals how insight is the vehicle for profound self-transformation Shakti is the creative force, the bonding power, that holds the universe together.
