Hello friends! Om Mani Padme Hum, may you all attain the accomplishment of the Primordial Lord of Compassion.
I don't usually approach people like this, but I'm asking for a little help from my friends.. I would appreciate greatly if you read this message and consider it amiably.
Several years back, for an "underage drinking" charge (yes it really was that long ago! 5+ years!) my Driver's License was suspended until I completed some courses, paid 300$, completed community service, and paid another $1800 to the courts.
Needless to say that after this happened my life practically came to a screeching halt; however this was very much a mixed blessing; on the one hand, I lost a group of friends, and a chunk of my social life, on the other hand, those friends were inimical to the Dharma and my social life was even more so.
So (thanks if you're still reading this by the way :), after my life slowed down, and I started to develop an interest in things which were no longer 'mainstream', as my connections to it were severed, I gradually moved from researching conspiracies, illuminati etc. to the New Age movement, to studying Buddhism, Hinduism, Qabalah, Hermeticism/Gnosticism/Platonism, Western Occultism, Tantra, Taoism, Theosophy, you name it!
After practicing meditation for a few weeks... A thunderbolt came from the Heavens and struck me with Kundalini Shakti. I gradually began to feel the gentle waters of Prana flowing in my brain, spine, throat, where they were cool like the air of the upper atmosphere.. Then heart, where they burned like air meeting fire in my chest.. Now, they move downward to the secret organs where true attainment is gained, but that's neither here nor there :D
Needless to say, ever since that first experience with the Thunderbolt, subsequent divine visions have made my faith in truth as unshakable as Shiva resting upon Mt. Kailash. After this I became the "Shaktipat Seer", a name I chose because of the effects of Sakti - Patta - the descending spiritual force that people were reporting feeling from my guided meditations, and dedicated myself entirely to teaching what I know from my study and experience to my friends and followers on the internet.
Now to the point of the post! :p
I've learned and gained all I can from being a hermit.
I'm ready to advance my life to the next step, from a lunar, integrating, amalgamating phase, to a solar, expanding, spreading phase. I'd like to give seminars, have a social life again, and try my best to influence people face-to-face.
I can't do this until I raise the $1800 to get my driver's license fee paid, I've done all the other things, and this is the last wall holding me back from being able to start to live life more on my own terms. I've saved aside about $500-600 that I'm desperately trying to hang on to in spite of bills and everything, through this tough economic crises in the States, and collect more from selling some things on ebay and some of my products from Lulu.com and Zazzle and other websites (Links to my Zazzle/Lulu stores with Mandalas, deity posters, my books, and other fun spiritual trinkets http://www.lulu.com/shop/search.ep?contributorId=560974 & http://www.zazzle.com/majickwear)
