Book Reviews of Deeksha: The Fire from Heaven

Book Review: Enlightenment is given rather than earned
Summary: 4 Stars

A deeksha is the transfer of cosmic energy from a trained, enlightened being to a non-enlightened being. It's said to be a divine gift of grace which creates a neurobiological shift in the brain. Deeksha usually involves a hands-on transfer of power but can also be transmitted just by being in the company of an enlightened being and through other forms of communication. The deeksha method of enlightenment is directed by an Indian avatar known as Bhagavan. Bhagavan is a common Indian name for anyone who is God-realized, and avatars are divine beings in human form who come to earth to advance humanity in some way and make the impossible possible.

Author Windrider defines enlightenment as the realization that "underneath all our separate illusions of reality, there is essentially one soul, one mind, one body, and one consciousness." Enlightenment is not viewed as a spiritual event, but rather as a biological event related to a change in brain chemistry. This books makes the prophecy that once a critical mass of enlightened beings is achieved, "the collective DNA of humanity will change and global enlightenment will occur." Windrider's goal is to quicken this process by making the deeksha transformational tool accessible to all those who wish to use it.

The most important feature of this book is the compelling real-life sharing of the enlightenment experience by the author and six others. Reading these contemporary stories about ordinary people fills the reader with "can do" energy. Further contact with the story-tellers is subtly encouraged by providing their personal email addresses.

The concept that enlightenment is given rather than earned is grist for the thinking mill. What if you really don't have to be a saint or meditate all day every day for 30 years? Windrider firmly insists no striving is necessary. All we ever have to do is let go of our linear, step-by-step expectations about how and when it should happen and just receive it. "I was expecting enlightenment to be a high, like an LSD trip..." Whereas enlightenment is simply allowing reality to be what it is. To be enlightened is to access the soul directly without the interference of the mind.

Windrider's scariest, most woo-woo idea has to do with the push for enlightenment coinciding with the "new creation cycle," which is supposed to start in 2012. This is the zero point in time when evolution speeds up; there's a rise in our base harmonic frequencies; a deterioration of magnetic fields, and it all somehow works together like the perfect storm to cause a 3-day reversal of the magnetic poles. Windrider's interpretation of the 2012 event is linked to predictions of the Mayan calendar that "signify the end of linear time, and represent the beginning of the great cosmic shift."

This book is worth reading because it has a clear and persuasve purpose and because it inspires the reader to become enlightened.

Summary of Deeksha: The Fire from Heaven

On a trip to India's Golden City, psychotherapist Kiara Windrider discovered that enlightenment - whether called Christ consciousness or that experienced by Buddha - is not based on a particular teaching, morality, or effort, but is in fact a neurobiological process. Under the guidance of Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, he learned that over time, humans developed a membrane that separates their individuality from the collective consciousness. Deeksha - the transfer of enlightened energy from person to person - begins to puncture this membrane, allowing humans to experience oneness and divine grace. In Deeksha, Windrider describes his journey to enlightenment, and explains how readers can experience it as well - and how they can pass the gift on to other seekers. The book also includes seven case studies of others who have experienced deeksha, an interview with Bhagavan, and two essays on the science of deeksha.
