    India and Spiritism

    Is it all devotees of Kali who commune with spirits? the skulls are representative ? is this a constant ? This is just my opinion but I think it bodes some degree of truth Monotheistic prayer and faith requires that the High God (see, Mircea Eliade) hear one's petition. In shamanism, it is...

    India and Spiritism

    occult knowledge is generally coveted and kept secret it is possible that the very same yogis who speak out against communion with spirits are the same who practice that themselves for personal power. and so, it is in their interest to spread untruths that other austerities are superior; to...

    India and Spiritism

    I've never done yoga so I can't really comment on that but as reiki is a western adoption of shinto but more based on therapeutic touch, it is still possible to solitarily undergo ritual purification and spirit soul transformation transcendence without any drug use, just like reiki practitioners...

    India and Spiritism

    It is really hard to get information about this sort of thing. Kundalini awakening psychosis is like the mark of Cain its not very sociable . nor is being a sorcerer for that matter . but at least now I have a word I can put to search engines for those interested, PENGUIN CLASSICS...

    Where does reiki come from? Has it been officially confirmed?

    I am 'attuned' and Motohisa Yamakage one of the most celebrated experts on Shinto religion speaks of attunement through Kami which are most certainly often human. he speaks of the transformation through purging the profane soul to the kami and although he could be clearer is very clear on the...

    Where does reiki come from? Has it been officially confirmed?

    In reading about British Spiritualism it would seem that it was probably actually a development from Therapeutic Touch and spirit channeling. So in this way it is a lot like Shinto then. but you see how it is more like therapeutic touch by itself than Shinto or Spiritualism? reference, The...

    Shinto outside Japan

    British Spiritualism is the closest thing to Shinto in the western world . You could say that spiritualism is the spirit-mythology of the post-industrial western world. Although you could not adopt Shinto practice with cultural observances like those of Japan's you could easily adopt...

    Korean Shamanism

    Well I have taken it out of the library so will go get that Essence Of Shinto is an amazing book I never thought I could be convinced to try using talismans and paper spell servants and this kind of stuff I see in anime but this author convinced me as to how and in what situations to use those...

    Korean Shamanism

    You seem yourself to be really focused on the hereditary style of korean shamanism, the ones who do it for a living and act in roles of priests. The reason the books by Hyun-key Kim Hogarth and Kim Tae-kon are so good is because they get into the discussion of the kangshinmu, charismatic, type...

    Korean Shamanism

    Reiki is basically a western, branded, Shinto I just started reading Essence of Shinto by Motohisa Yamakage like Korean Shamanism there is solitary initiation in there descent of spirits it is very much the same purpose as to what they're trying to do overanalyze the window dressing if you...

    Where does reiki come from? Has it been officially confirmed?

    Whatever. I will just abandon reiki all together I have found a book written by Motohisa Yamakage called, The Essence Of Shinto: Japan's Spiritual Heart he describes how shintoists worship kami, and the transformative process to become like them Reiki has an absence of spiritism which is...

    Korean Shamanism

    reiki is such an odd thing because many enthusiasts of this I have spoken to, or read posts from online, are very quick to add spiritism, and channeling from reiki guides to their worldview. on my youtube channel many of the more interesting videos in my favourites playlist are buried on the...
