As there are so many contractions about which techniques he really taught... ask him to clarify it

Hey Buddha have you seen zorba?

The eye can't turn round and see itself, so you can never meet the Buddha, only be it.  If you see him, kill him.

Squawk!  

But really, if I saw someone Buddha like, I'd ask them to shoot woowoo rays into my eyeballs and wake my ass up.

I’d ask him who he really is, and I imagine we’d both die laughing.

Matt Kahn says he shot woowoo rays into someone once and woke then up.  I have no idea if it's true.

But I'm really talking about direct transmission, just trying to be funny.

Ramana Maharshi and countless other teachers believe in direct transmission, just being in the presence of someone fully awakened can help along the process, so I'm told.

What do you think?

@MiracleMan Yes. This is a ‘real’ thing that happens.  The obviousness hits them like a tidal wave, and then it’s all laughs and tears for a long while.

I have been with my mentor for 2 years and that neverh appened

@Ether I don’t now how to offer help with that. I’ve been meeting with people, doing this thing for a few hours, starting with them writing down what they are, and mostly listening while they go through self discovery. It’s been successful. For the most recent person, it was very short and spontaneous, and very beautiful.

I like to use woowoo rays, I've seen it used as a derogatory term against spiritual folks but I remember Matt Kahn embracing it and using it anyways, and I just thought it was the most hilarious thing.  So hopefully folks won't take me too seriously.

Hit me with the juice!

Also, I've seen this in Christian mysticism too, laying on hands and what not, and I've been to events like that in my youth and the energy of the atmosphere was unbelievable.  I have my own personal hang ups about organized religion, but i remember 'feeling' much more than 'thinking' in those times of being in the church.  The words went right by me.

I had a huge falling out of my religion when I became a teenager and I focused much more of the words, thoughts, instead of that feeling I could only describe in words as just 'yes, Lord, yes'.  So I definitely do believe in direct transmission, I imagine it could even be more effective than sharing words! 

Sorry for the long response but you always seem to bring stuff out Nahm lol.

Maybe it has!  Haven't you made progress?  Sorry I did over exaggerate a bit, I'm not sure if the person became enlightened after that event with Matt.  I can find you the video where he describes it if you like. 

Adyashanti has said that someone woke up right then and there in front of his eyes through direct transmission, but this seems rare, I guess the guy was on the tipping point.
