   Next let me turn my attention to the assisted shaktipat, whereby ALL   
   will grant all of my current special abilities and special connections,   
   plus matchmaking (which I had from March 8 to March 20), plus   
   sustained productive creativity (which I should have after I come   
   out of the low years), to a large number from (A) in my region.   
   Also note that they will retain any special abilities and special   
   connections they had before the assisted shaktipat, so will be   
   ahead of me in some respects, plus many have specialized training   
   which should allow them to make good use of the abilities.   
   (A) is ghomo (which might just be ghomo sapiens), gnonhomosimian,   
   gcross if any, galien if any, and gcetacean, where the prefix g means   
   in my region, and cross is a cross between homo and alien.   
      
   The descriptive list of assisted shaktipat recipients is on the   
   Recent Changes/Working Notes subpage of my Salmon on   
   the Thorns webpage, plus I have added nonreligious UN   
   ambassadors as well as professional matchmakers (I don’t   
   mean just anyone who works for an online dating site, though).   
   But the list does include those ordained by ALL (other than me   
   if I am so ordained), and those ordained by human or humans   
   to bishop level or equivalent or higher, and Mothers Superior   
   in Catholicism.   
      
   So the first thing that has to happen before the descriptive   
   list can be expanded into a list of individuals is that ALL   
   has to ordain (or update the list if it has ordained some   
   already) some in (A). That process has begun.   
      
   What are the criteria for ordination by ALL?   
      
   1. ability   
   2. knowledge   
   3. experience   
   4. goodness measure as defined by ALL   
   5. subconscious interview conducted by ALL   
      
   I define bishop level or equivalent as the lowest level that can ordain   
   someone to a level below him or her without getting permission from a higher   
   level. It is also generally the level above the lowest level that can perform   
   marriage, though in Catholicism a deacon (which is two levels below bishop)   
   can perform a marriage but not a marriage Mass.
