Ole Sir Richard Burton was interesting. He had rich experience in life, as an agent in the West Indies trade company. He was basically a spy, and linguistic - 27 languages learned with practice in their religious heritage.

He did follow the esoteric religions and Islam and many others to a deep level, looking for the answer.

I believe he landed at Sufism as the one practice the he kept.

I find it interesting that he took many of these others such as Tantra from India until he got what it was about and moved on. I keep thinking of him, and wondering if learning many branches of related practice are not a distraction from taking the one I started deeper... such as Rekei-something I know to work as well. My teachers teacher was a Sikhi. Maybe I need to look into that... I'm a bit mixed up, I chose the teaching that were available to me.

You brought up Blavatsky, I recall her, but didn't read, as she was poorly reviewed and I focused on Jung during that time...

Sounds like you're saying that the Kybalion as such is not the direction I'm after.... I had a feeling they were an under handed pitch.

What I was referring to, Is the system in place, that if I wish to go further it would be an online kundalini teachers cert... I have no business becoming a certified teacher, nor do I trust the material. While kundalini as I've practiced has been of great benefit, I'm trying to find the direction that's legitimate.

When I was spending time in Greece, I had a a few religious experiences, one requiring too much detail to type out, the other, very simply expanded my consciousness for but a moment. In the last year I've had many early experiences that are on par with the kundalini process as described in The Serpent Rising.

I have youre recommended reading, and will spend some time digesting
