​We all see and relate with our physical body. This is probably the most “identifiable” thing about an individual for many people. But that is not the only body we have. Those of us who are sensitive to seeing energies are able to view another layer over our physical body called the auric body. This is directly related and always in sync with our physical body. This is where body stores its “physical memory”.
 
For e.g., many a times it’s been noted that people who lose a limb in an accident or other sudden occurrence, continue to feel that they still have that limb. When you view their auric body, you will continue to see faint traces of their limb. Once the physical part is gone, the auric body also diminishes over time and after a while- one will not see the “auric limb” for that amputee.
 
The other aspect of this auric body is that all kinds of physical ailments and other problems are first noted in the auric body. At this stage they can be dealt with comparative ease than when that problem manifests in the physical body. Most energy workers help people by utilizing, cleansing and other wise positively manipulating the energy of their auric body.

​ Now comes the most important and also the most complex body we have- our Causal body. This is our connection with our soul journey. It contains all our karmas and samskars (karmic memory impressions). EVERYTHING that one experiences first finds its source in their causal body. Then if that karma is ripe to be fruition-ed, then it will manifest in the auric body and then finally in the physical body.
 
When one dies, their physical and auric body perishes BUT their causal body continues. This is the main layer of a Jiv (or Jeev, individual soul).

Please note the article on Jivatma. Then, when it is time to manifest again in this physical world, the causal body which exists with the Jeev, then takes on an ego- which then provides the physical body and its associated auric body.

Many people wonder why I don’t do any “predictive” forecasts. That is because I believe that “predictions” do not really work for anyone who is on a true self-evolving or spiritual path.
 
Now let’s see, if someone had a very keen sense of observation and/or some innate ability to read another person’s mind (psychic) even then at best they could accurately narrate your past. But future- well that is completely another ball game! It has yet to happen- so how can anyone guess it??
​
Even Quantum Science and other theories suggest that there are definitely energy-potentialities that surround us. These energies do shape how and what we experience, but unless one is to “observe” it- the outcome is “undecided”. I.e. if you are not there experiencing it, then what outcome you “could have” experienced cannot be determined.

Then what about all those wonderful psychics and other folks who seem to do a perfect job of “predicting events”? Well to explain this- let us consider an example: let’s say you grab some takeout food from a nearby diner. Now let’s say, this place serves fresh foods cooked with healthy ingredients (I know it's hard to imagine that with a typical diner… but still try :-)).

So, you eat this meal- now, is it difficult to predict that you will feel good, your body will receive good nutrition etc.? Not really- since you performed the actions, which increased the probability of that outcome from myriad other possibilities. BUT now let’s suppose this diner does not serve good food and/or you are a celiac and ended up eating something with gluten in it- now again, is it difficult to predict the outcome? Not at all- since your actions (however consciously conducted or not) somewhere determined what the outcome will be in that scenario.
 
Ofcourse life is even more complicated than our simple takeout dinner example. In our simple example, we are not considering other folks and your ongoing interaction with them or the uniqueness of your own body and health. But even with this example it is fairly evident that our actions do in a strong way determine what can happen in any given situation. This is not only a Quantum Scientific fact but also the basis of Karma Theory.
​
Now- repeated and past karmic patterns (still called karma in the west, though the correct term is samskaras) do have their influence and because of this some outcomes are “always more probable” than some others. Why just psychics, but even good trend-evaluators do such “predictive forecasts” each week- from a person’s future, to what can be expected within an industry, the financial markets and sometimes even within a particular geographical location like a city, town or a country!
 
But think for a second- as a conscious evolving person, would you rather fatalistically accept an outcome or would you rather understand the energies that are underlying any given scenario- be it your own life or the collective consciousness. When you understand the energies that are effective in any particular day or at any particular time, it gives you a good premise to work with.
 
Seeds sown in the dead of winter are doomed to not flower, while seeds sown during spring and cared for with proper light and nutrition are bound to thrive- similarly our actions when they are in accordance with the general premise as well as incorporates self-evaluation and self-evolution through learning our own individual lessons, we rise ourselves above any typically fated outcomes. This way we allow ourselves to live not only as our highest selves but also as truly conscious living beings.
 
Creating our highest self each day by constantly evolving ourselves into our own higher version.

​Once Ji Won and Juma were discussing about how we as individuals give a lot of importance to people’s opinions. Even as a child, Ji Won was always concerned about what everyone thought of him. It was always important for him to atleast maintain face, in any situation. Since he was appreciated for his good looks from a very young age, he had grown up to depend on his appearance to pull himself out from any challenging situation. 

He asked Juma, “why are people so enamored by appearance?”

Juma replied, “our five senses provide us the ability to experience our world. But the sensory input from all these five channels is not equal. Eyes, our vision provides maximum input and because of it, we find that anything that appeals our eyes, attracts, and draws us to it. Though unfortunately, it is always short-lived.”

“What do you mean?” Ji Won asked.

Juma replied, “you see, the sensory input from all these five channels go to the ‘control & process mechanism’ which is our mind. Initially, the mind feels drawn to what the eyes see as appealing. But mind is very fickle, unless there is something deeper to keep it anchored, it tends to lose interest very fast. That is why we find that even though people date a person they find ‘attractive’, the marriages that last are not the ones that were based on looks but on some other deeper quality about that person, it could be their intelligence, their caring heart and so on…”

Ji Won thought about how he had always dated Korea’s most beautiful women, but after couple of evenings of fun, he had found them silly and boring. He said, “what you are saying makes total sense. I have seen it in my own life. Then why do we give so much importance to looks? Why don’t we pay more attention to other qualities in a person.”
​
“Because the allure of appearance is very strong. One either needs to have a strong intellect that can see beyond the appearance and know what is truly important or one needs to have gone thru pain and suffering after falling prey to good looks, to obtain the wisdom to see beyond someone’s appearance.” Juma said with a smile.

One of the evenings, as they sat enjoying fresh bread and wine on the porch, Ji Won asked Juma about love. He asked her, “what do you think is the meaning of love?”

Juma replied, “it is the most touted and misunderstood word in the dictionary!”

Ji Won smiled and agreed. He was in the entertainment business, where ‘love’ was frequently used and abused. They even had a heart sign in Korea, which all the celebrities freely used to show appreciation to their fans. He had indulged in that behavior too, not because he wanted to, but because it was part of a marketing strategy that was given to him. Though in recent times, he had pushed back on it. Ji Won took a sip of his wine and asked, “why do you think that is?”

Juma said, “because people do not know themselves.”

That seemed a strange answer to Ji Won. He thought she would say something about how people do not understand the true meaning of love or people do not understand the different types of love that we feel, but instead of speaking about love or another person, she was indicating that people misused the word- love, because they did not understand themselves!

​“Please explain,” he said.

Juma said, “all our experiences happen within us. The nature of our reality makes it seem like they happen outside, but in fact they happen within ourselves. Think about it for a second, you are drinking that wine. Even though that action is external to you, but the experience of enjoying the taste of the wine, its aroma and so on, where are you experiencing it?”

“I feel it inside of me.” Ji Won replied.

“Exactly! Now let us take this line of thought a bit further. Now, take the time to truly evaluate and sense what exactly you are feeling within as you drink this wine and then express what you feel. Given your analytical bent and amazing English vocabulary, I am sure you will do a great job.” Juma said with a smile.

Ji Won took a sip from his wine glass. He closed his eyes and really sensed the wine in his mouth. He noticed how it felt as he swallowed it. He sat still with his eyes closed and a calm peaceful expression on his face.

Finally, after a few moments he opened his eyes and said, “I had read that there are many fine nerves in our mouth that can provide phenomenal sensations, the closest I had ever felt that was during a passionate kiss, but what I just experienced was even more amazing. It was like the experience of wine just exploded into a million amazing sensations. I know I speak English very well, but I don’t think I can describe what I just felt. In fact, I don’t think I can explain this feeling even in Korean.” Ji Won replied, still stunned by the sensations he had just experienced.

Juma said, “people rush thru life. If we are to take the time and experience life with complete attention and depth, then we will see that each simple act becomes astounding and phenomenal. What you experience is an amazing sensation, beyond words and description. You cannot define it. You cannot express it. And at the same time, you cannot deny its existence or its profound impact on your psyche, your very being-ness. What you are feeling is ‘love’. It cannot be described, but if we need to describe it, then that would be the closest way to put it.”

Ji Won always thought of love as with respect to someone or something. He could not believe that taking a sip of wine had anything to do with love. But at the same time, he could not explain the sensation he had felt- not just in his mouth but in his entire body. It still tingled and blood rushed through his veins even at the thought of what he had just experienced. He was confused. He asked Juma, “So you mean to say that love is not something we feel for someone or something but that it is a sensation that we feel within ourselves? Is that right?”

“Yes.” Juma replied.

“Does it have anything to do with wine, what I mean is, does it have anything to do with wine being an alcoholic drink- or can we feel it with anything?” Ji Won asked.

“Love is what you experience as a state of being, of awareness. When you are in that state, then you could be eating a piece of bread, just walking down the beach, or idly looking at the sky, you will still feel that amazing ‘indescribable’ sensation. It is who you are, your state of existence.” Juma explained.

“Sorry. I still don’t get it. I always thought that love involved someone or something else. The object of my attention, a person or a thing that I sought, I craved. Isn’t that correct?” Ji Won asked.
​
“Unfortunately, that is how most people think of it, because when they are seeking someone or craving something, it is the only time they give maximum attention and because of it are able to experience a little portion of what can be experienced as love” Juma said.

If you are reading this article, then you probably are someone who is looking for answers to your life questions, or solutions to your situation or concerns that are troubling you.
​
People look for magical pills. They feel that if they approach a spiritually wise person- a guru and get his/her blessings, then things will easily ‘remedy’ in their life!! What they don’t realize is that it is this very mindset that allows them to get duped by unscrupulous people, who promise quick-fix remedies or fictitious solutions! 

We need to remember that we cannot escape karma… repercussions of our past actions, as well as the actions are currently performing and will need to perform as we live our life.

If you are truly willing to do what is required i.e. take appropriate action- not an action that is easy or that you would like to take; but an action that is appropriate for your specific scenario; then and only then proceed with gaining more spiritual information and understanding.

It is only after you are sure that you are not only wanting but also willing to change, that approach someone, you believe can help you. If not, you are not only wasting their time, but also your own.

And what is even worse, is that, you are deluding yourself into thinking that you are reading about self-help guidance (there is much helpful information here on this website as well as elsewhere online), inspiring and motivating words and all these will make you feel temporarily good- but they will not, they cannot address or resolve your situation.

Something to think about and reflect as you get serious about “Walking your Path”.

Some initial knowledge and information are essential to even make a decision, but I know of countless people who read such books and articles for months and years on end, but do not take the required action to truly better their life. So, even though they may know many good theories on ascension and what that state entails and so on, the quality of their life does not improve.

Do not get ensnared into such a knowledge-trap. Work on yourself and take the required steps to transform yourself and improve your life situation and your overall wellbeing.

We are all connected by invisible strands or quantum strings; called "Yoga Spanda" in ancient Sanskrit. So, when you wonder how your actions can matter in this vast universe- remember that even fluttering wings of a butterfly can create a storm on the other side of our globe. 
​
We are all like pearls strung on the same strand, what happens to one can impact everyone else...

There are times in our lives when we wonder about the “meaning” (or lack thereof) in our life. As we go about our daily duties, we wonder if any of those actions can impact anyone beyond the few immediate people. Lest do we know the far-reaching extent of our thoughts and actions!!

According to Wikipedia: Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics focused on the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. 'Chaos' is an interdisciplinary theory stating that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, self-organization, and reliance on programming at the initial point known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The butterfly effect describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state, e.g. a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas.

So, when we wonder how our seeming small actions can impact the greater good- remember that we are all connected. Each to everyone and everything else forming a web of matter and information- distinct and yet intertwined so that it is affected by the smallest of change.

Knowing this it is very important to carefully choose our thoughts and actions. There is so much pain and misery in our world- with rising anger and violence. Ordinary citizens like you and I may not be warriors on the frontline, but we can help to bring peace and equanimity by exhibiting it in our everyday actions. Being loving or at the very least kind to everyone we interact with, showing grace even when we may feel that the other person is totally out of line- such small actions can play a pivotal role in bringing balance to our increasingly un-balanced social and global environment.

​Tantra is one of the path towards liberation.  It is believed that the real spirituality started off with Tantra.  The path is not advised for all the levels of people in the society like the other path – karma yoga, bhakti yoga, etc.  

The basic objective of Tantra is to liberate the soul by expanding the consciousness.  Unlike other practices, tantric path can be followed only under the guidance of a spiritual master who has attained self-realization. Guru initiates the disciple to this path through “diksha”. 

​This is for highly evolved spiritual aspirants who are competent enough who can fight with the nether forces of ignorance in the self.  But that doesn’t mean that one who has passion towards tantric path cannot follow this route for the self-realization.

​For any type of aspirant, tantra finds the right starting place for him.  It naturally means, the aspirant has to perform the practices based on his level of understanding about himself.  Controlling the mind through the control of senses are the ways of tantra. 

The way of tantra is to understand the functioning of the mind in various situations, without the help of senses. From the scientific perspective, it is detaching the matter from consciousness.

One has to come out of the body consciousness in order to experience the self.  It is based on the principle of Shiva and Shakti – the consciousness and the energy manifested through the body. Existence is the combination of both the energy and consciousness. To reveal the real nature of the mind, it is necessary to free the mind from the past impressions, the unimportant knowledge, samskaras, etc. 

The entire human existence is based on two forces – prana and mind. These two forces are responsible for action, life and knowledge. Whenever there is a problem with the balancing of these two forces, there arises problems throughout the life. These two forces symbolize the ida and pingala nadis (energy channels). 

All these concepts are described in tantra by the ancient sages. Tantra is basically expansion of the mind and then liberation of the soul. When the mind is expanded towards several other planes of existence, mind starts experiencing the internal consciousness. This process increases the internal awareness by liberating the mind from its unlimited functionality.  

As a result of the intense spiritual practices performed by the spiritual aspirant performed under a guru, he evolves to the higher planes or existence there by expanding the consciousness. 

The serpent power symbolizing the human consciousness called as Kundalini shakti is awakened gradually as the aspirant goes forward in this spiritual practice. Starting with hatha yoga, the practices involves kriyas (physical purification), yoga, meditation practice, japa, etc. Yoga is part of tantra.
