When others come into contact with us bodhisattva types...
he, he, he :-)
(You are one, I can tell...
Know that you are...
Keep dissolving fear, uncertainty and questioning...
Keep your wonderment...
Enjoy the mystery of all this...
The graces, the gifts...
Grace, graces, gratitude and humility are a one-package-deal.)

So again, when others come in contact with us bodhisattva types,
in a situation where one simply assumes or invites...
(requires actually, but we are gentle about it.)
trust, love, truth... unconditionally...
(or to say it differently: when all BS is expelled :-)
something like shaktipat indeed take place.
It is nothing grand though... it most often is hardly noticed.
Except for a gentle sense of calm, the suspension of disbelief and fear.
A comfort sets in...
'Shaktipat petite' is hard to shake...
'Shaktipat grande' is hard to maintain.

Gentle handshakes...
But do not be afraid of a firm squeeze once in a while.
Compassion does not exclude firmness.
Loving kindness without firmness is just picking at the sores of suffering.

Love, Wim
