Divination

Hi Friends,


Everyone wants to know about the future. Throughout the ages, there has been many ways of doing so, Palm Reading, Tarot, Crystal Ball gazing and so on...Nowadays, because of the New Age and also the Western influence, these ways have become quite popular. Also, because of the mixing of the Eastern and Western influences in our country contributed to the rise of many superstitions and false beliefs about such.

All of us have many different beliefs about such things, and I take a stand on these things on a Mental Science basis. For example, I have always taught that in everything we should try to understand and find out the underlying cause. We need to understand how magick works, and so we can reproduce it everytime we need it. We do not believe blindly in things.

On the bus on Tuesday on the way back from Pulau Semakou, we saw a group of friends playing Tarot. I might have stated that Tarot was evil the last time, but that was because of Christian Influence. Anyway, my current stand now, is as such. I highly encourage people not to take Tarot seriously, or in fact other divination methods. If the results of the readings are good, I do not worry. But if the results of the readings are bad, then these readings if given enough attention will take a place in your subconscious mind, and will only lead you to disaster.

Therefore, my summary of Tarot is that it influences your Future by messing with your present.

The future is not really static, and what you do will influence and change it. I suggest that life is meant to be lived as it is, without trying to find out what the Future holds. I heard on that day about methods that are very accurate. I highly doubt it. I think that it is your subconscious mind that will make these results of these readings come true, because you fear it too much.

Also there is the problem of Ouija. I was thinking of buying an ouija board not too far back. Many people who are afraid shun Ouija, as a source of demonic power but remember as Sentients or Mental Scientists, we should know that we cannot believe in something unless we have tested it. I have 2 theories which may support about demonic posession after the use of Ouija, a case as given by one of my friends. Firstly is the case of Collective Belief. If everyone believes that something is unlucky, then they contribute their power to it, so bad things will have a higher chance of happening. No. 2 is that if you are afraid of something, fear means that you are giving the directions to your subconscious mind that you want the thing to happen, because you keep picturing it in your mind. Therefore, even if you are not posessed, you will believe and act so.

I have not conversed with a visible spirit before, but that does not really mean I do not believe in spirits. I think that every single thing has a spirit, and you can practise being in harmony with your enviroment, by being on good terms with them. That is what many of the beliefs of the ancient tribes, that everything has a spirit. I think that now science is getting closer to proving that.

Anyway, I'll update you all on this topic when I get an Ouija board :)

Hi Friends,

I have this book, which is published in 1922. Of course the edition I have now is the 2004 edition, but it doesn't really matter. It is rather confusing, so to speak, and after reading it I still wasn't sure what it was talking about. I guess I wasn't totally ready for it yet.

However, after I have thought about it, I think I understand a part, this part, which I am going to share with you.

Who are you---Really? Your Soul? What is it?

You are a infinite powerful being. You have a body to exist in this world. In this body, you are either male or female. So if you are male, you will naturally be attracted to females and vice-versa. But your soul-- it isn't male or female.

Jesus once clarified this when a person asked him what happens to marriages in heaven...and he replied that the person didn't really understand what was heaven, because we are no longer attached in heaven. Similarly, so do the Buddhists know that they actually shouldn't be attached to anything, because all urges or sexual urges come from this body, not from your soul.

I'll give another example to clarify this. Some people have Multiple Personality Disorder. These people can have different personalities. And some personalities may have different genders. Are you saying then that there are multiple souls trapped in one body? No!

In fact, your personality, isn't your REAL SELF, it ISN'T your SOUL. Think about it. Your personality can change, your interests, liking can change. Does that mean you are a different person? No, you are still whoever you are.

So similarly you aren't your physical body, because your physical body can change. Hence, you are, really, neither Male nor Female.

A person, who has reached enlightenment, will naturally have mastered his Real Self. He/She has let go of all his urges, he/she is neither male or female. He/She is neither 90 nor 10. He/She is just an expression of his/her soul, the Real Soul.

You see, the problem is, many people are straying away from their Real Soul. Who they really are. When you indulge in many different unhealthy activities, you are actually lowering your vibrations. In fact, I think demons are just people who have permanently strayed from their real soul. Angels are just those who have achieved and stripped away every single false layer, revealing their true souls of light.

We are all programmed to know our real soul. We have a conscience. We feel good when we do good. When we stray from our real soul, we feel bad. And some people who have strayed too far have lost their link with their soul, and they lose their conscience as well.

But once you can tell who you really are, then, you will have endless light (energy) at your disposal, to create what you truly desire and fufil your purpose.
