Certainly one must do something in order to witness what you describe. >

P> Ok well then tell me what you do with thoughts and attachments in this model. What is the specific process? >

The specific process is what is outlined in the essay. The process gains power, with practice and time, based on the bindu-Vast Light connection. As that becomes more realized, your energies get more readily drawn into the…[Read more]
