Has anyone ever had real success with Kalachakra without having empowerment? The vajrayana masters warn of the dangers of practicing without empowerment. One could have no results at all, bad luck, or become deluded thinking that Yidams are real entities when they are just emanations. They are not the same as pagan deities who are said to be lower and dont grant liberation from Samsara. Plus I dont want to take initiation using a visualization that involves violating a 12 year old girl as the emanation of wisdom. Yes that is the visualization which scared the crap out of me and makes me believe there are perversions in the teachings thus the means of keeping it secretive.
