      2. Continue to participate in the circle, which tends to amplify the trigger further, while adding more dimensionality to the underlying pattern 3. Leave the circle and use the bioemotive framework to process and release the underlying emotional wound (aka lots of crying) /4

      4. Come back in the circle with a greater sense of freedom and connection 5. Repeat This seems to be a fast track for cleaning up. 🧹 /5

      This sounds like you guys are building a tantra? Any environment where people are interacting with each-other with meditative intent will basically turn into tantra. Surprising direction of development.

      I'm curious to know @Meaningness's take on how this (Vinay's remark, in the context of Daniel's whole thread) connects with eg the Aro Buddhism > "Self-liberation means allowing emotional energy to be as it is." http://arobuddhism.org/community/an-uncommon-perspective.html …

      Not sure what you are asking?, but: - Circling has always sounded creepy to me (but I know almost nothing about it) - What Vinay says seems right, if hedged for the vagueness of “meditative” and “tantra” - Self-liberation is the principle of Dzogchen, not tantra

      Yeah, been there, done that. All good fun if you are into that sort of thing. The problem was springing this on people who weren’t prepared for it.

      It sounds from the rest of your writing about these guys that they were well under prepared. The Kali stuff will generally very nearly get people killed when done right. I've never seen it done badly. But "going well" means "nearly died" so... yeah... Why would they teach it?

      Well I speculated about her motivations in the post, but that’s just psychoanalyzing a public figure based on texts.

      So "and then one of them died in a meditation cave" would be considered potentially auspicious for his future incarnations, and in any case a sign of the power of the Kali initiation he had just taken. This is why I don't teach. The tradition is marginal even in India. Here? NO.

          yep. I mean, it's fine in India. India is a fine place to study dying. not so much New Mexico. Medieval. It's all just so very medieval. And much less compulsion to modernize than the Tibetans.
