The Four Emerables

In this episode I am once again joined by Dr K.A Shakoor: spiritual life coach, doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and author of several books such as ‘Ghetto Sutras’ and ‘Maahaah Yoga’. Dr Shakoor discusses his own meditation practice, including periods of extreme mantra recitation, and recounts his struggles to reconcile the Bodhisattva ideal with corporate culture and for-profit medicine. Dr Shakoor shares his experiences teaching energy and meditation techniques to the mentally ill, and discusses the discipline needed to acquire mastery of such techniques. Dr Shakoor also recounts his own encounters with evil, including anecdotes of exorcisms, sorcery, and occult attacks, as well as magickal self defence advice for healers and spiritual practitioners. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep187-the-bodhisattva-occult-self-defence-dr-ka-shakoor-2 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast’. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 00:54 - Training in Sufism 04:04 - Extreme Buddhist mantra practice 04:58 - Expressing the Bodhisattva ideal 05:36 - Disillusionment with corporate culture and racial politics 10:24 - Work as a social worker and counsellor 11:31 - The business of medicine 14:34 - The art of leadership 18:35 - Struggles navigating the healthcare industry 23:33 - Teaching energetic practices to the mentally ill 25:14 - Fake teachers of energy arts 27:05 - Discipline in personal practice 27:50 - 1-1 instruction is vital 30:05 - Direct teaching and Dr Nida Chenagtsang 31:27 - Facing challenges in practice 36:09 - Novelty seeking vs persistence and follow-through 38:23 - Old school teaching methods 39:03 - Wrong Tummo meditation and damaging chi 41:13 - Encountering evil 43:01 - Sorcery and ritual trauma 44:56 - Magick is easy to do, but difficult to fix 45:57 - Tools to help victims of magick 48:16 - Influence of Chagdud Rinpoche 49:28 - Exorcisms and spiritual healing 50:10 - Dr Shakoor’s first exorcism 52:58 - Possession vs psychological imbalances 53:30 - The importance of buy-in 54:29 - Occult attacks on Dr Shakoor 57:37 - Why healers and spiritual practitioners come under occult attack 01:00:35 - Psychic self defense advice 01:05:31 - Psychic recoil 01:06:39 - The basics are most important Previous episode with Dr K.A.
