Both of these have definitely had a profound effect on me. Like any practice that expands awareness or enlivens the nervous system (or however you want to describe spiritual expansion), I have had both very positive experiences, such as an increase in love, and experiences which I would call "purification". Overall, however, since becoming involved with this, there has been a very positive trend. For many years I experienced an inner silence, but it seemed separate from activity and the mind was still very dominant with its old conditioning (habitual patterns of thinking such as worry, over-analyzing, etc.) Since deeksha, this has changed quite a bit. The silence has become "thicker" and is more infused into my activity and day to day experience, with the sense of separation being less. The mind is less dominant and there is more detachment from the old patterns which just don't seem so over-shadowing.
I was extremely skeptical about deeksha and the whole Oneness Movement before trying it. What got my attention is that when my husband became involved and went to a one day intensive, there was a dramatic shift in my experience throughout the day (as I am very affected by his state of consciousness). It was undeniable. I've continued to maintain a "wait and see" attitude and some skepticism, but what I am experiencing is definitely different and in a positive direction. Unlike the TM program where teachers teach in a very standard way and have a uniform way of presenting the program, the Oneness Movement does not have a teaching per se. The common element is the experience of deeksha. The "deeksha givers" talk about it from their own perspective, so I don't pay a lot of attention to their descriptions and interpretations. I rely on my own experience. ------------------------ Yahoo!
