The Great Sinner Who Became A Great Saint
One of the meaningful things about this Vardankar talk: Higher Consciousness - The Great Sinner Who became a Great Saint by Heather Giamboi is that it delves into the insight that no matter how spiritually advanced we feel we are or aren't, that it is possible to reach higher states of consciousness while freeing ourselves from the cycles of karma and reincarnation.
What is helpful about this is guilt is a barometer that can help us readjust ourselves and yet too much guilt will make some condemn themselves for the mistakes they have made in this life while others will unconsciously punish themselves and others for the harm they did in past lives. They end up unconsciously punishing themselves through painful karma over many incarnations. According to Heather there is an easier way, a direct path to to God and to a greater spiritual freedom.
In this talk Heather Giamboi of Vardankar discusses the life journey of one such man. A man who had a very rough childhood and as a result ended up doing brutal black magic. He used dark forces to conjure storms, destroy crops and harm people. Then he suddenly had a strange and different insight that hit him like a bolt of lightening, he has forgotten something very important about his destiny.
Heather Giamboi discusses the dramatic changes Milarepa made going from a great sinner to a great saint. In which he practiced Vardankar long ago. And how in-spite of his past, it ultimately lead him to spiritual freedom.
