Swedish Bhairavi Says: “Spoon Feeding & Lovers..”
Many people have had spiritual endeavors before reaching us. Sometimes even many different ones.
Sometimes it “clicks” immediately when they reach us and sometimes it takes them time, and then again more time for them to feel a settling feeling, where they feel like they can open up to learn.
This is due to to different circumstances usually related to their current eligibility and the attention of the person is directed elsewhere.
It is a hard thing to describe in words but it is natural and normal. And of course just to mention it, that there are those seekers also who have a curiosity to learn, suddenly find us, and immediately resonate and feel ready to follow the process to the end, with all the ability that they have.
The people who meet us without extensive past influences, thoughts and ideas about spiritual practices will usually have it easier because they will get the empirical Tantra straight from the top. They often practice whole heartedly and thus they will reap the benefits and the insights from their own practices. They usually don’t need too much of an an explanation or “breaking of the seed” because they are already, by their own abilities and agencies, sensing the fruits, flavors and textures of that plant that grew, from the seed of beginning spiritual practices with us.
The practices and the connection we have is “living”, alive and “lit” up by Siddha Guru Mandala, the council or mandala of Siddha Gurus. That’s why it works.
But for a person who has tried many different things, the fact that they once had the conviction that “this is it” regarding a supposed spiritual endeavor and that it later on was quashed and somewhat rejected makes the whole experience quite vulnerable and loaded. Maybe the person found something else that the mind thought was better or more suitable… Some hints at something real might have come from the previous endeavor but not in a cohesive way, rendering the person unable to settle and feel collected and satisfied. The relationship with the past experiences also are also often not resolved and the mind tries to understand, box, categorize and justify how in the world it could happen that they changed their mind so drastically. How could theu have been so into something, and it then just rendering sort of meaningless or less real, less truthful?
I sometimes see it as a person who has once been in love, or thought it was in love, and then later on due to different circumstances the relationship breaks, and when the person later on meets new people, who might be potential lovers, the idea of love, unity, surrender and “this is it” changes.
We know that many of you have had past experiences, have past ideas, fears, hopes, egos lingering in the mind as well as body and karmic tendencies.
So that is when Siddha Tantra Arts becomes important. The empirical approach, where you practice and yourself are the interpreter. This is why, in the foundation courses you do what resonates with you from what is offered, and we encourage you to stay awake.
We have seen that this is the only way in these times and in this setting to get actual results, actual tangible, long lasting development and integration of practices and experiences.
Yes, we do have the possibility to interpret dreams and also to source answers to questions regarding dreams and their patterns. And yes, sometimes we give an answer to a participant that asks about it, if the circumstance allows and is beneficial or needed. But do not be surprised if during the course you will again and again hear that our focus is to enable you yourself to interpret your dreams. To introspect and to have greater understanding into your own psyche.
In these current times where surrender is less and harder to truly resonate with for some, and when it comes to Dakini Dream Yoga practices and Siddha Tantra, only depending on us telling you A equals F and the Z equals XX will not necessarily help you after the course is over. You might get insights and instant pleasure of hearing an insight but why end your benefit there?
We want you to feel how it is to be responsible for your insights.
You may not know how to handle it and may get an inflated ego in worst cases…but we know that you will at some point need to learn to start a fire and to play with fire. We aim for the long run where you yourself are the one saying you want to continue, because you see and experience value in continuing. And we aim for you to reflect and be fully aware of what you are doing and be aligned with the intention of it.
Do it in a way that your being, years down the line, will thank you for it. Do it in a way that years down the line you will stand by your decisions and actions and admire yourself for step by step daring to be the experience being experienced.
Yes, you might not know what your future self would say or want. But you can hope and imagine it to be the best possible version of yourself, whatever associations you have of that.
In Dakini Dream Yoga we will dive into this ability to converse with the difference consciousnesses of oneself, to expand the reach and source of knowledge, insights and intuition. These are not low density activities. As Bhairav ji mentioned in the orientation live session, holding fertile space with an open hand is more difficult than mechanically clenching the fist with whatever clenching ability one has.
We don’t give lectures or bring up things just for the mental pleasure of talking and awing, and for you to feel satisfaction of an information/insight and then forget it because it didn’t internalize. We don’t have time for that. We need to do the ground work so that your soil is prepared for the specific kind of seed that your soil is perfect for, and so that it is nurtured in the best wa, so that it for sure bears fruits for yourself as well as the world to experience.
This is why we ask of you yourself to wake yourself up, ground yourself, integrate practices in a “realistic” slow-paced way, use the senses to become present so that you do not fool yourself in yet another doomed “lovers” story.
We talk sweet, but we do not sweet talk like an insincere lover, spoon feeding words like a pastime. We teach you how to be your own lover because we already love you.
With love,
Swedish Bhairavi
