As opposed to the jumped-up little sex-pest jivas who delude themselves and others into the belief they're "sharing presence" in internet chatrooms...
Presence is obviously OmniPresent and doesn't require the intervention of any jumped-up jivas.
That's just basic Hinduism 101...

No. That was not what I intended to convey.

I haven't watched that specific video, nor do I intend so to do because the title itself is arrant, superstitious nonsense, as anyone with even a modicum of विवेक will see.

2 minutes ago, C T said:Is being a mainstream spiritual brand a criteria for determining a guru's authenticity?
I have my own ideas, but would like to hear what others think in this regard - what qualifies a guru as authentic? Or mainstream, for that matter. Is Mother Meera considered mainstream? Is she regarded as authentic? What about Amma?
These are sincere questions.
The sincere answer is that unless the "guru" helps you to access fully the Truth yourself directly within 6-24 month, s/he's a fake.
The only True guru is ब्रह्म, the Ultimate Truth ItSelf.

2 minutes ago, dwai said:No, sharing presence is not their invention. It is done by spiritual teachers across the globe, across traditions. It is very much a daoist tradition as well -- they just call it something different. Whether you like it or not is another matter, and it boils down to your personal preference. My teacher initiated me by sharing presence and it put me in a sahaja samadhi state for 18+ months continuously. It is called Shaktipat etc etc in other traditions.
That aside, my note was intended for someone else, not those whom you are referring to.
You're demonstrating clearly to some of those observing your ignorant antics that you don't even begin grasp the fundamentals:

And whats the criteria you're using to qualify your opinion?
Which guru have you personally certified as authentic?
This is important to know, for obvious reasons.
Lol
Nice1! CT!

On a scale of 0-10, about 5.

For whom that this may apply —
Better way to share presence is using the MDT. The Lower Dantien is good for things but not good for sharing presence.
*** Note to Lurkers Begins ***
This refers to members of this site's underground Chaturbation sexploitation cult that was cobbled together from a toxic mixture of misunderstood religious theories and practices.
It stifled all criticism and most rational discussion until the previous administrator and moderators were removed by this sites owner.
This cult is now located at theprimordialway.com because their previous forum (at livingunbound.net) was closed down by its owners.
It should also be noted that most of it's activity takes/took place via PMs and Slack Chat.
Sharing presence is a reference to their invented practice of hanging out in various Chatrooms chatting their aforementioned bullshit.

Incidentally, if you're looking for practical TaiChi, I can personally recommend Dan Docherty, with whom I have trained.

Just now, CloudHands said:Consider yourself lucky for that. Or maybe you are an "escaper". Plus generally past the 30s people wise up or get softer.
I'm extremely lucky in where I live and aikido (and iaido) taught me to be situationally aware.
I also have a couple of quite large dogs, so when they're around, I don't even need to exercise much in the way of situational awareness.

Indeed!
1 hour ago, old3bob said:A most excellent teaching!
The statue does say it all (although, the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra certainly provide the keys).
1 hour ago, old3bob said:& 5 major powers.
Perhaps you were wise to say silent about the specific power of trampling upon ignorant dwarves.
I will therefore follow your excellent example and remain mute on that particular aspect of Trika Shaivism myself, as it's obviously wide-open to potential misuse and misinterpretation.
However, I do feel that it's important to stress that no ignorant dwarves were harmed in the casting of this statue.

Just now, mrpasserby said:There appears to be more then one def for tantra.I was trying to be supportive of this thread.I have practical experience in Non touching tantra magic, as used to enhance a creative word spell.What is Tantra magic?In the words of Vaman Shivram Apte in his The Practical Sanskrit — English Dictionary, tantra is. “a religious treatise teaching magical and mystical formularies for the worship of the deities or the attainment of superhuman power.” We might agree that the above definition is what we mean by “black magic”.As I said:

The Ultimate must (obviously...) encompass and transcend both masculine and feminine, as were that not the case, It would be polarised/limited.

You seem to misunderstand the term tantra.
Here's a précis:
QuoteTantra (/ˈtʌntrə, ˈtæn-/; Sanskrit: तन्त्र, literally "loom, weave, system") denotes the esoteric traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism that co-developed most likely about the middle of the 1st millennium AD. The term tantra, in the Indian traditions, also means any systematic broadly applicable "text, theory, system, method, instrument, technique or practice".[1][2]

Another major problem is the inherent sexism of contemporary Western and Eastern "culture", which generally denegrates the sacred feminine.
However, a closer examination might reveal that fundamental error:

10 minutes ago, SirPalomides said:I said “less serious about Buddhism.” You are saying they are not real Buddhists. I disagree. But if you really want to argue that put it in a different thread.
The difference that's no difference.
I actually did not assert that Tibetan "Buddhists" are/were "less serious" (about Buddhism...).
In any case, I'll probably continue to "argue" whatever I want, wherever I choose (ATM...).
However, do feel free to disagree.
That's part of the joy of the current anarchy.

9 minutes ago, SirPalomides said:I don’t think that’s a defensible statement. Yes, some of the lamas get into some bad shit, the theocratic-feudal order was bad, and the whole tulku system seems problematic but I don’t think it could be fairly said that Tibetan Buddhists are less serious about Buddhism that the ones in China, Thailand, etc.
Hello to the straw man.
I didn't assert that Tibetan "Buddhists" are/were "less serious".
