Clearing Misunderstood Terminology

The issues explored on this site are extremely profound. The presentation covers an immense range of material in a very concentrated form. The point of view is often located in higher spiritual dimensions. The material being presented may challenge your preconceived ideas and stretch your personal spiritual and intellectual limitations. At times you may experience strong emotional reactions to the material.

Some participants may feel like the information on the site makes no sense, or may experience forgetfulness, short-term memory loss, or loss of comprehension of material immediately after it is presented. You may also feel tired, sleepy, yawning, distracted, dreamy, dizzy, spinny, lightheaded, intoxicated, introverted, fearful, panicky, paranoid, angry, belligerent, or rebellious. You may have a strong irrational urge to disrupt the community or escape from the site. Some spiritually immature participants may desire to project their personal opinions or negative emotional reactions to the material on the presenter or staff.

All these symptoms have one and the same cause: you have encountered a misunderstood term or symbol and gone past it without getting it properly defined. Much of the terminology used on the site is extremely specialized, scientific or technical. The most important of these terms are in the Sanskrit language and may have no direct English equivalent. Some terms used in the seminar are so laden with significance that thousands of lines of esoteric Sanskrit codes and years of esoteric study are required to define and understand them completely.

You are strongly encouraged to observe these symptoms, realize their actual cause, and note down your misunderstood terms. Please request assistance to define esoteric spiritual terminology, Sanskrit words and other technical terms used on the site by posting queries to the New Students' Forum. Failure to do so may make your experience of the site, and the value you receive from it, less than optimal.

It is very important that you understand the real cause of these symptoms, take full responsibility for their reactions and deal with them appropriately. The Master Teacher, webmaster and community members are not responsible for these symptoms or the consequences of failing to define misunderstood terminology. You are fully responsible for observing when you feel any of the symptoms above, and recording any technical terms that you need to clear up.

The Master Teacher is trained to handle these symptoms without disruption to the community but your cooperation is required. Please request clarification on the New Students' Forum especially if you continue to experience any of the symptoms of misunderstood terminology. It is not acceptable to disrupt the sacred space of the site or community in any way. If you do not observe these cautions and disturb the seminar, your site membership or posting rights may be terminated without warning or explanation.
