Well, I didnrCOt really start talking much with others much about my 1991
experiences until 1997, and I last saw Gioia in December, 1995
so I havenrCOt discussed it with her yet, but I probably should
write her a long email. But I doubt she knew the spontaneous
(not willed) shaktipat happened. Also I didnrCOt know it was
shaktipat at the time but have just come to realize that since
then. What happened was that I met her to give her a cheque
for yoga class and there seemed to be a transfer of energy
or tuning from her to me, and I sort of bounced up the hill
to home, and several hours later (after clear sky lightning)
my first manic episode began. I describe the shaktipat as
a transfer of the incredible lightness of being.
