Re: This is fascinating, RB; I want to know more

I am 58 and have had this Depression since around 12. Mercury poisoning IMO does make it worse but is probably not the cause although there is no way to be sure the mercury did not cause permanent brain damage.

I have never met anyone who really understands the disease and none who have gone to the extremes that I have. I traveled across a continent to see a living God-Man. But I never really expected a cure from him. However truly Enlightened Functioning Gurus are able to transmit powerful spiritual energy called Shaktipat to their devotees. Different people experience it differently but I felt like a powerful electric current descended my spine.

I have never had shock therapy but I will say that this energy made me feel much better for months. Unfortunately He left CAlifornia for Hawaii and then Fiji so I never saw him after that first year.


Real Meditation is not something you do, it is something you find that you are already doing. Real meditation is Death. It is the death of a part of the EGO, when it is perfected it is the complete death of the ego. That is Enlightenment.

Real Meditation is called in Christianity being born again. Hindus would call it Satsang.

It changes your perspective on life. You no longer identify with experience, you observe experience instead.

It is very simple, you just observe that you are always seeking, always trying to modify your state of consciousness, and when that observation becomes profound you just FALL in that state of bliss that is prior to experience.

So you end up in a state of bliss and still depressed, the more bliss you have the less Depression you notice, but it is still there. Funny thing I read the other day on a blog that Adi Da at some point took anti depressants.

If you want to experience bliss then all you need to do is read The Knee of LIstening and the Method of the Siddhas which you can read online at:

If you want to talk about suicide you go to ASH,alternate suicide holiday at google groups.

There is a new therapy using super magnets like they use in MRIs which seems to make some people feel better. I would try it but I dont have any access to it and at this time it is somewhat experimental.

Oh yeah, there may only be a handful of people in the world who can transmit shaktipat like Adi Ad once did. And He did appear to be God to His devotees. Tweet
