Power of Thought

Before explaining of power of thought, I wish to give a broad perspective or overview of the working system of man in all its potential dimensions. To know the nature of thought force in its fundamental depth, one must visualize the naturally sophisticated mechanism of the physical body and that mysterious phenomenon: the indwelling life-force. Visualize the Divine, Omniscient Consciousness, which, taking its seat in the life-force and working wonderfully, expands or shrinks to any dimension, linking macrocosm and microcosm

The bio-magnetic field, charged by the whirling motion of the life-force particles is the field for the functioning of consciousness, for all feelings, and for getting connected to the Universal Magnetism. It works unimaginable wonders in individuals, in the human society, and in the universe itself. Magnetically, electrically, and chemically the body is directed, controlled and conditioned by three systems:

The central nervous system (voluntary functions)
The autonomous nervous system (involuntary functions, like breathing, digestion of food, growth of the body etc.)
The universal wave system (comprising the entirety of unseen forces, imprinted from the beginning of time, in the universe as cosmic Consciousness.)

Similar to Recording on an Audio Cassette

When any sensation is felt in the mind of man, it first affects the bio-magnetic field and the limbs, senses and organs of the body. Then, with the constantly spreading wave, it affects the atmosphere, other persons, (particularly those related with feeling), then it reflects on the universe, and affects the Cosmic Consciousness.

All these effects are imprinted in the life-force particles of the body, the life-force particles of the people of society, and in the energy particles of the universal field.
Do not be puzzled by all this process of imprints, wondering how it can be possible. Remember, the wave from every particle, field or mass, has a magnetic nature. When it clashes on any particle, field or mass, its magnetism becomes mechanically, electrically and chemically characterized according to the nature of the mass or field.

So every clash makes an imprint in the energy particles. This is similar to recording on an audio cassette. Once imprinted, it becomes the character of the particles. Field and mass are the magnifying media for reflection of imprints. According to the media of imprint, the same media is required to induce and allow its reflection. The mechanisms of television, radio and computer illustrates this principle.

When the spreading wave is radiated from the particles, the wave carries all the qualities or characteristics of the particle. When it clashes against another particle, the same character, as conveyed by the wave, gets imprinted on that particle. This is the law of Nature. And this fact should be kept in mind when considering the nature of thought force.

Thought Psychic Scenario

Let us now proceed to understand the nature of the emergence of thought. Any feeling is the result of some shock in man's magnetic field. Various psychic activities develop following the feeling. For example, one feels hunger. Hunger is an uncomfortable feeling which cannot be tolerated for a long time. Food is taken and the feeling of hunger is satisfied.

The feeling, thought of taking food, act of consuming and satisfying the hunger, are all imprinted in the life-force particles. When the feeling of hunger comes again, the entire psychic scenario appears in the inner vision. This is thought. Sometime, even if one is not feeling hungry, when the mind is not otherwise engaged, the bio-magnetic wave automatically being emitted from the life-force particles, will bring out those imprints as thought. Every such imprint is made on the life-force particles through, the media of the body cells and the brain cells. A line of arrangement in the cells of the body, limbs, and senses is made depending on the feeling or action. When the same line is activated again, it will act and cause an urge for the same action by reflection.
Physical action goes to the spiritual imprints and spiritual imprints will activate the physical imprints. This will involve a person in the same actions repeatedly. Once the mind is engaged in feeling, the imprint occurs. Reflection of the imprints in the physical realm is the urge for action.

Pain, Pleasure, Peace & Ecstasy

In the waking state, according to the conversion level of the bio-magnetism, the mind can work in four stages:
pain,
pleasure,
peace and
ecstasy.

The Pain is aggravated state of conversion of bio-magnetism. It causes disturbance to the flow of bio-magnetism in the body cells and brain cells. Pleasure is an accelerated state of converting the bio-magnetism. It converts only the surplus bio-magnetism in the body cells and brain cells. It converts this bio-magnetism on a slightly higher level than normal by eliminating the surplus energy at a tolerable level for the body cells and brain cells. Peace is the state of normal conversion of bio-magnetism.

It maintains the body cells and brain cells in equilibrium. Ecstasy is a very low conversion level of bio-magnetism that results from engagement of the mind in the natural beauties and secrets of the universe and in knowing the existence and functions of the Self (consciousness). Every stage of mental function will affect, harmoniously or otherwise the entire body, brain, endocrine system and sexual vital fluid in their respective functions.

When one thinks of a friend and blesses him, then the working force of mind will be of a certain frequency and character whereby it will radiate a harmonious wave to all parts of the body. If one thinks of an enemy and curses him, the force of the mind will then be aggravated in its frequency and character.
As a result, this wave will disturb the whole body. By blessing or cursing, the thinker is first characterizing himself, and thereby does either good or bad to himself. The thought-wave then affects the atmosphere and the person concerned.

How to Sublimate the Psychic Function?

In addition, once a blessing or a curse is imprinted in two persons, the interaction between them goes on continuously, and the good or bad effect becomes perpetuated.
Such is the potential and power of thought. If one neglects dealing with the power of thought properly, through lack of knowledge, what will happen?

Our own treasure of life is the accumulation of imprints. All the imprints are derived from three actions:
thought,
speech and
deed.

So, we would give due respect to thought force and always be aware of our thoughts whether they are reflection of another's or our own. Focusing our thought on our behavior and personality is a process of streamlining and sublimating all our psychic functions.
Imaginary expectation resulting from greed without reference to Providence or to our own action or hatred such scheming to cause pain and loss to others, these are manifestations of improper thinking and wasteful use of the thought force.

Because we have hereditary imprints and imprints of deeds committed in the present life, degrading thoughts and pain-resulting actions may get reflected again and again. But, through the systematic psychic practice of meditation, and through the practice of disciplining one's deeds under guidance of spiritual preceptor, one can come to the right path of life.

Concept of golden energy ball

Energy can be made to flow with respect to our goals. This Energy ball brings the expected results from cosmos/almighty.

We are making energy into flow (Dynamic state) from static state. According to Quantum Physics, the origin is only empty space , but filled with energies. Einstein derived Mass Energy Equation (ie. E=Mc^2). According to this formula, energy can be converted into matter and matter can be converted into energy.

Similarly whatever project you have, it has its own frequency and energy. If we knock the project with right frequency, it will be exhibit its own. According to De-Broglie's Wave Length thoery, in this universe each and everything exhitibits/vibrates with its own frequency and wavelength.


Project to be materialised = Amount of Energy Required to that Project "divide by" Emptyness/Almighty penetration.

If the project has greater energy, result will be out of frame. If it has lesser energy, project will be failure. Energy is constant for the project. We can regulate the denominator factor. Thus the equation is balanced and project is getting into materialisation.

Meditation Shown to Reduce Aging

A recent study by Harvard instructor Dr. Sara W. Lazar, has shown that meditation can help to increase brain function, reduce the effects of aging on the brain, and improve concentration and memory. Lazar, whose primary appointment is at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), initiated the study as a response to claims that meditation improved brain function and reduced the effects of aging.

According to Dr. Lazar, no previous work had been done to actually analyze the physiological effects of one’s thoughts. However, this study provided “some really strong physical evidence that there are some long-term physical affects” of meditation, she said. “Dr. Lazar’s findings are relatively unique; they show that the mind, through practice, can increase the thickness of the prefrontal cortex,” according to fellow corroborator on the study, Dr. Herbert Benson—the Mind/Body Medical Institute Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. This thickening of the cortex is contrary to what should happen as the brain ages so the researchers concluded that the meditation was responsible for this physical effect. “When compared to age match controls, the people who weren’t evoking the relaxation response had thinner cortexes,” commented Benson. The group that was tested ranged from 25-50-year-olds who meditated lightly—approximately 40 minutes a day. The implications of these findings could be very important, said Lazar and Benson.

After completing this study, Lazar said she believes, “The effects of meditation can counter the effect of age.” If the findings of the study can be confirmed through follow-up research, meditation could be prescribed just like any other healthcare, said Benson. Benson said he believes this study shows that meditation is just “one of scores of techniques that bring about a physiologic response.”

Meditation, according to Benson, is one of the weapons in the arsenal of fighting aging of the brain. A follow-up study is being planned by Lazar to confirm the findings of her research. In the new study, people will be tested at two points in time, once before meditation starts and once after to show the effects meditation has specifically on memory and attention, she explained. As people live longer than ever before, aging brains become a significant problem.

Lazar said she hopes to shed more light on how meditation might be used to combat this aging and perhaps even reverse it.

Protection from Psychic Attack - technique

The protection techniques presented in Protected by the Light will assist you in dealing with any form of psychic attack. Some simple approaches you can take to avoid being victimized by an energy vampire are:

1. Keep your head inclined forward, and close your mouth when not speaking to this person.
2. Look only at their left eye, when meeting their gaze.
3. Fold your arms, cross your ankles or legs and place your folded arms across your solar plexus.
4. Don't sit or stand directly facing them. Here is a simple exercise to protect yourself from a psychic attack:

Imagine that your physical body is a honeycomb. You are so porous that any energy coming towards you will flow right through you without affecting you in anyway. Keep your attention completely focused on this image.

Now visualize a trap at the back of this honeycomb mesh screen. This receptacle traps any form of negative energy and immediately neutralizes it.

Perceive all of the negative energy that you are exposed passing through your aura without affecting you in any way. This negative energy now is trapped in this receptacle and is immediately neutralized.

We can all learn to strengthen our aura and protect others and ourselves against any form of psychic attack. This psychic protection also brings with it a form of empowerment like no other we have been exposed to. We can all finally learn to take control of our lives.

LIGHTING A YERCUM FIBRE WICK

Yercum is a milky plant that grows even in a mound of trash all over the Tamil landscape. Yercum sports small white flowers with violet veins along the edges of the petals. Children are often advised not to play with the milk of Yercum plant, as it is feared to be poisonous. Although ruthlessly destroyed if it is found in the backyard of any house, Yercum is believed to be the most favourite plant of Ganesh, the remover of all obstacles. During Ganesh Chadurthi festival there is sudden demand for Yercum flowers. Ganesh figurines made out of Yercum stems are considered to be of extraordinary significance and auspicious quality.

Lighting a Yercum fibre wick in front of Ganesh is believed to bring boons unparalleled.

Tying a Yercum fibre twine around the hip of a child is believed to cure diarrhoea and ward off any possible stomach ailments. It is possible that Yercum kills shigella, a highly virulent microbe responsible for half of all episodes of bloody diarrhoea in young children. Nobody has ever proved it yet.
