Dear Open,

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to answer my questions. I am sorry that you felt the urge to judge my motives for asking them on an "Open" forum. You may have a valid point about my reluctance to "dive in" but, to be fair, you don't know me or the many paths I have wandered along for the past 73 years, so I won't be trying to justify myself on the forum.

I admire your tireless work and your presentation style and I believe I may benefit from your guided meditations - but I am nobodys "groupie". I practice tantric kriya pranayam for 30 minutes every morning around 3 am followed by at least an hour and a half of silent meditation, so I am not just dipping my toe in while sitting on the spiritual river bank. I discovered your work via David Ickes Ickonic platform as I have followed Davids work since I first met him in Oxford in 1991. You have since parted company, I would suggest due to a difference of opinion on "karma" and on your insistence on its importance. I am inclined to believe that karma may be an Archontic trick to trap souls within the simulation through a guilt trip - much like the concept of sin. The fact that we don't remember our past life actions makes the idea of "working through our karma" a tad tricky. I don't see the 5D as the ultimate goal of my spiritual quest as it is possibly on one of maybe 12 dimensions within the simulation. So, I suppose my goal, if that is the right term, would be the one that Gautama realised - the "emptyness" of the true void of infinite potential or Nirvana.

Respect and Blessings,

Shantiram
