"For example, once I meet in a chat room (highly unusual!) a very developed individual... I think he said he was a Quaballah master... I don't remember... he was trained in some middle east tradition."
My path was one of the qabala as was my teacher's. He also went through a spontaneous awakening of the kundalini. There were times when people could not be in the same room with him because of the "bath" of K energy. So, I know by experience of the effects a person can feel in the presence of a man who is able to touch power at will.
But still there are "keys" left out. Details not put into print or given by the teacher to the student. Instead, during an experience, a student recognises these keys and relates them to the teacher thus confirming to both teacher and student the veracity of that experience.
We used to have weekend long meditations once a month or so and I've seen this technique used many times in many ways.
Any two people having had the same spiritual experience, will recognise another's description of that experience by the way they describe it.
My teacher and Gopi Krishna having both gone through the same experience of spontaneous awakening of Kundalini are a good example. Gopi tried to find a "holy man" in India to help him survive his ordeal, but they could not help him not having went through this themselves. In fact, one got so sick he could not stay in the same room with Gopi.
