From http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/sunstare.html :


"Then on the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 31, 1991, I walked 
down the hill to deliver a deposit cheque for my fall 
Iyengar yoga class to my new teacher, Gioia Irwin, who I 
had not met before except by phone. When I met her it 
seemed as though there was an energy about her (not visual), 
a lightness, and this transferred to me --- after I gave 
her the cheque I bounced up the hill. This I have come to 
realize was a proximity-induced raising of kundalini, or 
shaktipat, though in some cases it is more sudden, and can 
even manifest like an epileptic seizure. In this case it 
was one of many factors (including music) and was gradual. 
But it is well known in the Kundalini literature that such 
shaktipat awakening of Kundalini can trigger or be 
equivalent to a manic attack. I wonder if some of other 
such cases still living have cycles similar to mine, most 
bipolars do not."


And I did go on to have a mystic manic episode in the days 
after that, culminating in a naked sun stare, naked thorn 
hill climb, and blue rose vision on Sept. 5/6, 1991.

So do you know of any living or past (including in
folktales, mythology and religious history) figures
who have experienced shaktipat and have had experiences
and cycles similar to mine (including waning crescent
highs)?
