Krama Diksha Krama means steps. So krama diksha is step by step initiation into higher sadhana. Krama Diksha has two styles. One is Mantra Krama another is Mahavidya Krama. In mantra krama any one Mahavidya is selected and Her low power to high power mantra is initiated. Sadhaka should do purascharana in each step. Now for example take Srividya. Bala mantra diksha is first. Bala means girl below nine. She represent first stage of kundalini shakti. Not much evolved kundalini. Some do one Abhisheka here known as Shaktabhishekam. Abhisheka Mantras are given in Mahanirvana tantra. Next step is Panchdasi diksha. This is much higher stage of kundalini. Paduka mantra should be given here. So sadhaka get involved in real sadhana. Then Rajya Diksha. Here Medha diksha starts. Rajya,Samrajya and Medhasamrajya medha given. Here mantra moves towards suddhshodashi. In Mahasamrajyamedha all mahavidyas can be given. Chinnamasta is prevalent here because Her sadhana is very tough. Here Kramadiksha ends. Then Poornadiksha should be conferred with Mahashodashi. In Mahavidya Krama Medha goes through Kali Tara Shodashi. Then Mahasamrajyamedha comes with all mahavidyas. Then Poornadiksha. So after getting Kramadiksha Sadhaka get permission of all mantra.

The author of the article, James Cowan further wrote:The paramashiva is pure consciousness in mayashunya. Darkness, silence, emptiness and without form or attribute. So this is the highest reality and ultimate truth as it is not subject to change. Shiva's nature is always pure and is not affected by appearance or disappearance of the universe. Since Shiva is without form or attribute, a jiva can only approach Shiva through a pure mind without thought.The manifest is the feminine energy of Shakti that Shiva created, so the universe goes from darkness to the attribute of light and all associated colours, silence is replaced with AUM, with all 50 Sanskrit alphabet letters giving rise to form and attributes/tattvas and emptiness goes to movement and change. From the gross to the subtle, a jiva experiences all forms and attributes through birth and death until finally all forms are shed when the realisation of one unchanging reality is experienced through sadhana. Eventually even sadhana is shed due to jnana of Shiva and all prabdah karmas have been experienced through pleasure and pain at which time the jiva dies and returns to the source of existence.

The use of the word "mirage" in this context is appropriate. If we accept that Pure Consciousness, or Shiva, is absolute truth and not subject to modification or change, then anything that is subject to change cannot be the highest reality. So gross, subtle and causal bodies are a mirage as they are subject to change. Further, any action and result of action that are not performed with knowledge that I AM THAT results in perpetual transmigration. You speak of samadhi, but experiencing samadhi or turiya is Pure Consciousness, so all other states are this mirage you speak of. If we accept Shiva is omnipotent and omniscient, and there is no difference between Shiva and jiva, then how can siddhis be a distraction. They simply are. If Shiva distracted by his own grandeur?

"I am That" is said in the context of Consciousness. The merging in Samadhi is only with Pure Consciousness. So why would Pure consciousness which is without attributes have anything to do with an individual's Karma. Again the connections of cosmic consciousness and individual consciousness, is in consciousness plane, and is beyond actions and results of action done by the gross, subtle and causal body. This article is mixing different schools of thought and non-duality is also being confused. To add, Samadhi is different from siddhi , and siddhi is a distraction to the seeker of liberation. Also experience from practice should not be confused with absolute knowledge. Mirage is experientially real, but still unreal. If you could pick on a specific philosophy on Non duality like Advaita Vedanta if you prefer Vedanta or Tantra of Kashmir Shivism, and present your case, it would be easier to show the flaws in reasoning.
