Deeksha: The Fire from Heaven

by Kiara Windrider, Grace Sears (Primary Contributor)

On a trip to India’s Golden City, psychotherapist Kiara Windrider discovered that enlightenment — whether called Christ consciousness or that experienced by Buddha — is not based on a particular teaching, morality, or effort, but is in fact a neurobiological process. Under the guidance of Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, he learned that over time, humans developed a membrane that separates their individuality from the collective consciousness. Deeksha — the transfer of enlightened energy from person to person — begins to puncture this membrane, allowing humans to experience oneness and divine grace. In Deeksha, Windrider describes his journey to enlightenment, and explains how readers can experience it as well — and how they can pass the gift on to other seekers. The book also includes seven case studies of others who have experienced deeksha, an interview with Bhagavan, and two essays on the science of deeksha.

This wasn't what I was expecting. The title was misleading. It is more of a autobiography about the authors quest to become enlightened. I found him annoying and egotistical. I only got a few chapters into it and then flipped to the back where it had much more information on Deeksha (without his story) which is what I was wanting to read about, so I did enjoy that part.

It was ah-ight. It DID make me want to go spend 21 days of silence with my Guru in India, sleeping on the floor and meditating all day.
