I have written somewhat ‘controversial’ things in my book 'Karmasutra The Karma of Sex', which has even led to some of my friends blocking me on Whatsapp or unfriending me on Facebook. Let me continue now and write some more ‘controversial’ thoughts on two questions which someone recently asked me, namely, ‘Do events happen in our lives directly at the physical, material plane?’ and ‘Does our blood circulation have anything to with spirituality?’ Needless to say, whatever is written below is my personal understanding, distilled from various direct and indirect sources. Please feel free to completely disagree with it or disregard it totally. Due to paucity of time, I will answer the first question in this post, and the second question in another post which I will put up in a few days.
As per my understanding, things
first happen in the spiritual non-physical world and then it is repeated in our
actual physical, material world. For
example, if a person is about to meet with an accident, it first happens in the
spiritual-astral realm and then it happens in the real world. Now, when something happens in the astral
world the same imprint is released into the physical world.
To help us understand this
better, let me use an analogy here from the earlier era – that of the old non-digital
camera and the film negative. When a photograph was clicked there was some sort
of impression on the negative. However, if we did not want the picture to be
developed we could expose the negative to sunlight or strong light and the
picture would be erased. Hence, although the event was recorded and impression
was made on the negative, the picture would never develop because the
impression was erased by exposure to light.
Similar is the connection between
events happening at an astral (or spiritual non-material level) and the
material level. Hence, if a person is about to meet with an accident, the event
impression first happens at the astral level.
Then this event manifests itself at the material, actual earth level. Between the astral/spiritual impression
happening and the real event happening, there is a time lag, during which the
actual negative happening can be prevented, if it is not strictly mandated
by a person’s strong karmic fate or mission on earth.
In order to do so, we must be
aware of what has already happened at the spiritual-astral level. One way is
through approaching some genuine astrologers on a day to day basis or psychics
who are able to pick this information for us from the astral/spiritual realm.
Some of us are lucky enough to see some of these forthcoming events, about to
replicate at the material level, in the form of a dream with some imagery. Most of us are not.
At this stage, it is pertinent to
note that I am not talking about some far off future events’ predictions, but
merely the information about events which have already happened at the astral
level. There is a subtle distinction
between predicting the future and receiving information about events which have
already happened at the astral level. Although for the uninitiated, both these
seem to be ‘future predictions’; for those who know about these things, both
are different. Let me use an analogy. If I am waiting for a friend who lives
about 20 miles away to come to my house for lunch, I can ask him a month before
and he can give me a tentative answer stating that he plans to visit me after a
month. This is somewhat like a prediction of the future using astrology or some
other method, where the events are tentatively scheduled. Yet, several circumstances can happen during this one month that can cause this schedule to
change. On the other hand, if my friend
calls me on the mobile phone on the day he is supposed to visit me and tells me
that he is in his car and has already covered half-way of the journey, then
there is much greater confirmation that my friend’s arrival is impending and is
about to happen. I now know that this
friend of mine is going to reach my house soon, unless something very drastic
happens. This is like an event which has already happened at the
spiritual-astral level. Once an event has already happened at the astral level,
it is just impending and a matter of time before it replicates at the material
plane.
Coming back to our ability to
feel what has already happened in the
astral plane, it is possible for every one of us to develop this ability in a
gradual way. What usually happens is that the subtle impressions of the event
which has already happened in the spiritual-astral world are received in the cosmic
receptivity area of the brain (which I have referred to as CSB in my book ‘Karmasutra
The Karma of Sex’), but since our human mind is too full of ‘noise’ to perceive
these subtle signals at a conscious level, we are never aware of the event
which has happened at a particular spiritual level. We only know the event (for example, the accident) when
it happens to us at the physical level .
How do we tune our minds to
receive those very subtle vibrations of future events? The simplest way is through meditation. For
those who are not trained in meditation, prayer is another way. The key idea is
to improve the great sensitivity and sharpness of our mind by silencing it from
within, such that even the subtle vibrations sent at spiritual levels reach
us. In my next post I will elaborate upon this idea of 'silencing the mind' from a perspective of blood flow to the brain.
