Views: 185 - The Human Consciousness Cannot Comprehend Fully the Vastness of the Universal Creation - by Submitted on Aug 04, 2024 from santosh krinskyWe spend little time or thought on the place we occupy in the universal creation.

The power we can consciously receive and utilize is a minute amount ...
Views: 185 - The Utilization of Powers That Arise Through the Development of the Yogic Practice - by Submitted on Jun 20, 2024 from santosh krinskySpiritual seekers are frequently advised not to indulge in or display any ‘powers’ that arise along the way.

Views: 185 - Transitioning from the View of a Body With a Soul, to a Soul With a Body - by Submitted on Jul 07, 2024 from santosh krinskyThe primary standpoint for most people is that they are a physical body endowed with Life, Mind and (potentially in their minds) a Soul.

Views: 185 - Biological Energy Developed from Food and from Other Sources - by Submitted on May 22, 2024 from santosh krinskyPeople are not generally consciously aware of the energy interchanges that take place to fuel their bodies and drive their live energies.

Views: 184 - Do We Have Subtle Sense Organs, Beyond the 5 Physical Senses We Recognise? - by Submitted on Jun 29, 2024 from santosh krinskyWe are generally so fixated on the impressions we receive through the action of the five physical sense organs, that we fail to recognise that we frequently sense things without these senses providing any input.

Views: 184 - The Significance and Action of the Supramental Manifestation - by Submitted on Jul 11, 2024 from santosh krinskyWhen Life evolved out of Matter, substantial transformations occurred.

Views: 183 - Vital Vibrations and the Response to Them - by Submitted on Aug 14, 2024 from santosh krinskyWe are able to perceive and respond to specific frequency ranges. Anything above, or below the frequency ranges to which we are attuned, does not register with us consciously, although there may be some subtle impact and energetic action that takes place, even so.

Views: 182 - The Inner Spiritual Light Exists in the Entire Creation and Maintains the Balance of Existence - by Submitted on Jul 28, 2024 from santosh krinskyOur normal human view of things is based in the framing of the mental process which relies on distinguishing differences between one thing and another, between one being and another, between one event and another.

Views: 181 - Science and Occultism - by Submitted on Jun 01, 2024 from santosh krinskyScientists study the hidden, let’s admit, the occult powers of the material world and of our lives.

Views: 177 - The Influence of Unseen, Unperceived Beings and Forces in Our World - by Submitted on Jun 27, 2024 from santosh krinskyWhen we can once appreciate and accept the fact that forces, unseen by us, unperceived by our senses, can, and do, act upon us, pushing us to act in certain ways, pressing on us to move in certain directions, it is but a small step to recognize that there are beings who inhabit these unseen and ...

Views: 174 - The Subtle Energetic Interchange That Accompanies All Interaction in the World - by Submitted on Apr 22, 2024 from santosh krinskyOne of the reasons that spiritual seekers have traditionally been advised to seek solitude and not engage in society is that there is a constant, subliminal interchange that takes place between all human beings.

Views: 174 - Addressing the Fallacy of an Individual Perfection in the Absence of Collective Progress - by Submitted on Aug 15, 2024 from santosh krinskyWe start from the ego-consciousness and we treat ourselves, from that standpoint, as independent, separate and “walled off” from all other beings, interacting with them from our insulated status.

Views: 173 - Applying the Scientific Method to the Understanding of the Yoga-Force - by Submitted on Jul 25, 2024 from santosh krinskyHow do we determine whether there is any such thing as a ‘yoga-force’?
