What this episode covers

Venture under Maharajji’s blanket as Erin Montgomery returns to the podcast and we discuss the issue of spiritual powers, like telepathy, in relation to the spiritual awakening process. We both use examples from our own journey and perhaps this show may give you clarity on this issue. “The game of powers is always very simple: Don’t use them. The minute you get a power and say, “I’ve got this power, I will use it,” then you’re stuck again. A new attachment, a new ego trip. Don’t use them, rather let them be used through you. Purity brings powers. Unfortunately, that’s one of the lions at the gate that brings you incredible powers. The minute you’re a little less attached than everybody else, you have incredible power over everybody, because you don’t want anything that everybody else wants so much. The minute you don’t want so much, suddenly you’re free, in a way that you can’t believe because you’re so used to being trapped in this network of needs and desires.” - Ram Dass Some experiences in life can leave an impression that effect a person on such a deep level that they are forever changed. Some people have these life changing experiences over and over again. And sometimes these experiences cause problems in their lives like difficulty sleeping, feelings of panic, seemingly irrational fears, and even believing they may be going crazy. Erin Montgomery is such a person, and with her training in the counseling field, has been able to unravel some of the mysteries in her own life that have contributed to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Risking her career and job, friendships, and family relationships, Erin explores her past as an alien contactee, her abduction memories, and how this phenomenon has brought her to understand her place in this world and others. https://www.amazon.com/Dirty-Little-Secret-Confessions-Contactee/dp/B08BF14DYB
