   I think that it is easy to feel abandoned in this situation, but if I 
look deeper, and seek perfection I see it as the Swami surrendering to what 
your own body was telling you... that his teaching was no longer serving 
your highest good, and your body wanted you to stop.  
   Guru-student is a co-dependent relationship, like Mother and child. When 
the student is ready, the teacher appears, and when the student is done 
with the lessons that they came for, the teacher sometimes disappears 
again, and goes off to teach the next student. Weaning can happen abruptly. 
Poof. End of lessons, now you are on your own. 
 
  Having a teacher is useful in the beginning of the path, to build faith 
and learn meditation, receptivity and surrender... to help your spiritual 
self esteem so you can learn to have faith in yourself.  However, the stuff 
of the higher chakras is experiential.. it cannot be described, in words, 
to be taught in words. Experience is the language of the body, you just 
have to make a leap of faith. 
 
  Beyond a certain point, dependence on a Guru to provide Shakti and be the 
voice of God, for you, can become an addiction, a crutch that keeps you 
from seeing that the Guru is also a human, and noticing that the 
Shakti-power and wisdom you see in them, is also to be found within yourself.  
  The metaphor of digestive disturbances was your own body telling you that 
the milk of  Chetanananda was no longer compatible with your path. He 
obeyed and weaned you.. telling you to feed yourself. I suspect your 
interpretation of abandonment is connected to the lingering effects. Your 
resistance to being your own Guru.  
   What you are not seeing in his final message, is his faith in you, that 
you had learned enough to be able to work it out on your own. :) He knew 
you didn't need him anymore, so does your body.. but your mind hasn't 
accepted it, yet. 
 
  As a spiritual teacher,  I can tell you that the hardest thing for me is 
being so addictive. People feel my energy and fall in love, and sometimes 
are kind of unwilling to see Goddess in themselves.. to accept that what 
they are seeing in me is a mirror of what is inside of them.  
  It is nice to be loved so much, but I understand why Gurus create 
scandals.. to chase off the Shaktipat-junkies who are dependent past their 
need for guidance. To weed out the seekers  who no longer really need 
teaching, so they have more time within linearity, for those who do. 
 
If anything, that you were let go so easily, is a sign that such an 
organization is *not* a cult, because cults are notoriously hard to leave, 
they don't let people go, easily...

  No, it is more of the same process... your body wants you to "have none 
before it". The time for teachers is past, for you.. you must surrender to 
*being* that, which you are seeking, from them. 
 
>Given their

   I don't think so. That is a limiting belief of the ego, I think.. it is 
not real. It is a place where you don't trust limitless manifestation to 
take care of you, because you think that it hasn't... based on your 
interpretation of your pervious experiences. Let it go.. :)
 
   I joined this list 3 years ago, and one of my posts from back then about 
"how to get grounded" became the Grounding site, for awakening K. I dunno 
how many people have become awakened thru that website.. I have heard from 
dozens..  
  Everyone's limiting beliefs that I had read, before I joined this list 
said it was hard to awaken K., that awakened K was one in a million, etc. 
etc. etc.  
  It's not hard, it's easy.. a mustard seed of faith, a pinch of surrender 
and receptivity, and if it's meant to be, Goddess does the rest. Goddess 
has it handled.  
   
  One of the detractors to the website somewhere along the line said that 
some Guru had said that they wouldn't do an awakening unless it was a "full 
awakening".. all chakras open and into cosmic consciousness. The whole 
process in one go. 
 
  I wondered to Myself, to Goddess, "how do they do that, reliably?". Where 
is the difference..? Some folks have experienced a full awakening from the 
grounding site, most do not. 
  First I had to get there, myself.. and I was guided to manifest an 
elaborate ritual that I can see now was in proportion to my own lack of 
faith in Goddess to handle it.. how much propping up my faith needed, to 
believe, and manifest results... and then another year of opening to the 
wisdom of essence in all mythology and experimenting with different 
rituals, with my slaves..:)    It has taken me a year to move from a huge 
sacred marriage/ego-death 
ritual with months of preparation,100 witnesses in Circle, scripts, 
costumes and 
masks  .. to really understand what happened, well enough to strip it down 
to elegant essentials as I did with the grounding...  to simplify it into 
bare essentials, of a visualization of surrender in plain language, that 
manifests a full awakening, and can be put on a website. 
 
   I am the vessel of the information, but the effects of the ritual are 
"Goddess provides".. miraculous. The ritual is simply a form of "how to ask 
for what you want in the language of the body".. the wordless language of 
feeling. 
 
  In the last ten days or so, I have done this ritual with 4 people, all of 
whom attained a full awakening that is lasting...  I finally have it in a 
form which appears to work independent of me, as the grounding does..So I 
feel ready to offer it as a gift, even tho I imagine it will get a lot more 
editing as it becomes a website...  
The choice to put it on a website came of my contemplating Pat the newbie's 
questions, last night, and the various responses.. and realizing that I 
don't wanna answer such questions anymore. Or rather, I want a single 
answer for all the questions, and more time at the beach enjoying life and 
just being.  
  "How long does the process take?" 
   I'm thinking, with faith and surrender? 0 to infinity in 30 minutes. 
Goddess provides.  
  
   The ritual is like a more graphic version of the grounding.. the 
language of the visualization is very sexual, but the sex is between you 
and the Light... no conflict for the celibate folks, and non denominational 
enough to be in no conflict with religion..:)  
   If you don't wanna read about sex, delete now.. 
 
 
  Start by getting very well grounded.. this is important.  
  http://www.domin8rex.com/serpent/spirit/ground.htm  
 
   When you are feeling well grounded, fearless and full of light, send 
your consciousness down the your lower grounding cord, to the center of the 
planet, and float there awhile, inside the fiery crystal.. say "I love you" 
to the Planet Mother, and open to receiving Shaktipat from Her.. 
  Which ever gender you are, your body is, it doesn't matter.. 
  You will be fem-receptive for this ritual. We are all hermaphrodites,  
at the level of the energy-body. 
 
  Imagine that you have a yoni.. spread your legs and invite a phallus of the 
inner Earth energy penetrate your yoni..  (ask for it to go up the central 
channel ...) Imagine it starts shallowly, going a little deeper with every 
stroke... getting longer and more penetrating.  
It is fucking you with the regular rhythms of your heartbeat and 
breathing.. 
  This part gets a bit tricky.. keep your consciousness inside the planet, 
but you will feel the energy Lingam in your physical body. Going deeper 
with every stroke.. because the yoni of the central channel is bottomless, 
and goes all the way up you and out your head. 
  However, as it goes deeper, you may find that there is a "hymen" at some 
chakras.. a spiritual maidenhead, so to speak ..  virgin place where the K. 
has not been, before.. Surrender it to the desire of the Wand of Light to 
penetrate deeper into you, in this sacred marriage Ritual.  
  Like they say to virgins, a brief pain the first time, then a lifetime of 
pleasure. :)  Like Mary said to the Angel who came to impregnate her: "Not 
my will, but thine, be done." Let the Light have it's way with you. :)  
  Focus on surrendering to the phallus.. deeper with every stroke. It will 
poke thru the flimsy barriers, like you are it's virgin bride.. :) and they 
will be gone. 
   Up and up and up.. when it pokes thru your crown chakra, it 
will keep on lengthening, and go all the way up the Sun, and penetrate thru 
there.  
  Just relax and enjoy that sensation for a few moments, feeling the light 
from the Goddess' Lingam radiating thru your whole being, and washing you 
clean of Karma. Bliss out on it, for a while.  
When you feel ready, imagine that the sun also has stretched out a Lingam 
to penetrate you with.. what is sent out comes back multiplied. The Sun 
Lingam is coming in your crown, and sending energy to the Earth thru you.. 
The Earth and the Sun make love to each other thru the vessel that is you.  
  Bring the spark that is your consciousness, which is still in the center 
of the Earth,  up the grounding cord all the way into the center of the 
Sun, and say hello to the Sun, and "I love you", and thanks for it's gift 
of Light to the Earth. 
  If you like, you can go on thru the Sun, and out into the stars.. to what 
ever is your concept of the Great central Sun of the universe.. the 
Godhead.. (how do you measure the center of infinity?) 
  I know a ritual for calling upon the Archangels that begins:  
"O, Thou, who givest sustenance to the Universe, from whom all things 
proceed, and to whom all things return: Unveil for us the face of the True 
Spiritual Sun, hidden behind a disk of light, so we may know our all duty, 
as we journey to Thy Sacred Feet."
 
  When you have had enough, come back into your body, and you will notice a 
few things.   
  You can feel your heartbeat effortlessly in your fingertips and toenails, 
and the ends of your hair, like the universe is fucking you with bliss in 
every cell of your body, radiating a wave of energy outwards from your 
heartbeat... everywhere inside of yourself..  *and* you can feel  the same 
rhythm in everything you touch. 
  This is the Holy Grail. If you focus on it, you can fall into it, and it 
expands to be the rhythm of Shiva and Shakti.. the heartbeat of the unified 
universe, in sync with your own. You are All that Is. Infinite. The 
universe is inside and outside of your heart, and there is no separation.  
  You may also notice that it appears like everything is made of little 
colored micro specks.. 
  You can also find that your awareness can travel freely, to hug a tree 
outside, or look in on a loved one.  Let your seed of consciousness come 
back, to rest in your heart after it's journeys, so your expanded awareness 
will not give you any discomfort.   
Blessed be!!
