*The phenomenon generally called "transmission" or "initiation" (also variously known in different traditions as darshan, diksha, shaktipat, empowerment, etc.) is an experience of transformative vision or deep insight that may seem to occur in the presence of a clear being. What this phenomenon IS is a mystery, but that it can occur is an evident fact. It is characterized by occurring as a result of proximity, and not through normal means of communication like language. *It might be a direct resonance of ones own energy state with that of the clear being, resulting in the opening of ones experience from its habitual frame of reference. But whatever the mechanism, this phenomena is a significant aspect of the efficacy of satsang. . | |
