-------I think they've depersonalized with Shamballah

motivation at MIU I was very messed up mentally and had to rejuvinate. I
didn't have the stillness of mind to get into rushan-like practices. As if.

Did they give Dark retreat instructions or togyal
sadhanas?
--Actually Malcolm did translate the
sadhanas even though they are old, archaic and very yogic. yes they gave togal
postures and such. It wasn't detailed, yes, some pointing out. That's what I
mean. And emphasis on compassion and it felt very whole and right. No
dark retreat instructions but I believe the permission are there. The
Nyingthig Yabshi is pretty much like Heart Drops of Dharmakaya. What info I
didn't get exactly many others have given me. The point being that I
didn't get into sutra or something that might have taken ten years to pay off.
