​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.

“Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that is happiness.”
​
–Bertrand Russell

​This quote probably applies most to folks who are caught in a “karmic whirlpool”- where, at an apparent level things may seem to be good, pleasurable and ‘happy’; but in reality they are too blinded by the karmic fog and too deluded by Maya to see that their so called “happiness” is actual a fool’s paradise. They do not see the karmic-whirlpool they are stuck in.

Typically, astrology provides a good understanding of past life accumulated karmas. It also provides detailed indication of which “change opportunities/possibilities” could arise in a person’s life time. 

​The play of these two along with Divine grace determine the various life experiences an individual will encounter in their life-time.  More a person chooses to live consciously- more he will understand his karmic lessons and clear past baggage.  In this manner, he will clear his past karmas and his life course will proportionately deviate from his astrological natal chart.

What I have noticed is that at times, there are certain individuals who are very low in their consciousness but still seem to be “above karma”, i.e. astrological events do not seem to impact them. This is very counter-intuitive! When one is more mired in the Maya and delusion of this world, you would expect them to be under more karmic influence and as such be strongly impacted by astrological events such as Saturn transits, eclipses, etc.

So what’s going on here? Something is amiss! How come these folks seems to be “happy” even though they are living unconsciously? They also seem to be deviating from their natal chart and no astrological event seem to adversely affecting them. How is that possible?

What I have noticed is that such people are in a type of “Karmic Whirlpool”. As we know, when a person is stuck in a whirlpool, they are too caught up in it to get affected by the calmness or turbulence of the bigger water body. It could be stormy seas or high/low tides- all this will be meaningless to the one caught in a whirlpool.

Something similar is at play in the above scenario! Such folks either have a very crucial imminent lesson which they need to learn and/or their lower un-conscious living has got them into a negative energy vortex. Either ways, they need to hit their rock-bottom!   Only after that will they start getting “action choices” or start experiencing their other karmas.

​So in reality, it is not that these people are above their karmas. Actually, they are “stuck” at a soul-journey juncture and until they rise from it, all astrological event impacts seem to be suspended.

In today’s times when we there is so much of anger and unrest in the world, it becomes even more important to keep in mind this invaluable lesson from Jesus.

It is the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, which is also known as the Parable of the Ungrateful Servant and it appears in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of the bible. According to Matthew 18:21-35, it indicates the importance of forgiving others, so that we are also forgiven by the Divine for our own mistakes and trespasses!
​
This parable was told by Jesus Christ as an answer to a question by Peter (one of his key apostles) about forgiveness…

After narrating this parable, Jesus explained to his dear apostle- Peter, that the Kingdom of Heaven is also very similar! If we seek forgiveness for our mistakes, sins, and trespasses from God, our father in heaven, then it is imperative that we show kindness, mercy, and compassion to those who have wronged against us.

It is not for us to judge if their mistakes are big or small… what we need to do is show love and compassion, so that we in turn can receive love, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness from the Divine!

I hope this parable touches your heart.
​
Remember that even though we may think of ourselves as quite flawless, the reality is that we each have committed many mistakes and trespasses. Before we can expect the Divine to forgive our terrible sins, it is important we show kindness to his people, by forgiving those who have wronged us. If there is anyone against who you harbor anger or resentment, then forgive them… if you feel someone has deeply wronged you or terribly insulted you, still forgive them… forgive them, so you too can be forgiven!

Water is a unique substance that can simultaneously exist in all the three states of existence at the same time- i.e., as a solid (ice), liquid (water) and also in the gaseous form (as water vapor). There are many anomalies associated with water- one of the key baffling ones being how it contracts as it turn solid (which is the case with most substances) BUT water does it only until it reaches the 4°C. At which point, it starts to expand, instead of contracting!! There are many other properties about water- which make it very unique in its physical and chemical properties… BUT what is most important to you and I, is that water is essential for us to survive.

Water is not just a key natural resource that will determine our life here on earth- water is the very indication that we look out for to check if life is possible at any other galactic location!!
​
Water is found to have one of the best ‘memory’ of all-natural substances. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist has shown thru various experiments how water can easily retain memory of what was done to it or said over it, for long periods of time.

Even you and I can do a simple cooked rice experiment to indicate the validity of the fact that water (which makes up over 70% of our earth and also our bodies) retains excellent memory!! Now typically we speak of using cooked rice- but honestly, you could use any cooked grains… any natural substance- like a vegetable or fruit. More the water content (like cucumbers, watermelon), that much easier- it will be for you to observe your experiment-results.

Try this out: Take three cups of cooked rice. With the first cup, convey your love and gratitude to it. Thank the rice for its existence, its presence in your life and the fact that it can fill your up and curtail your hunger and so on… with the second cup- be very nasty in your interaction. Express anger, resentment and even hatred (if you want to go to that extreme) and with the third cup- do nothing special. It will work as a baseline!!

You will find that the cooked rice cup that was the baseline and did not receive any special treatment- neither positive nor negative, goes stale within the expected timeframe! The cooked rice cup which received praise, gratitude and appreciation is still fresh even when the baseline cup shows the signs of staleness!! But what will shock most people is how easily and with what intensity the third cooked rice cup deteriorates- the one which was the recipient of anger, resentment, and negative emotions!! That one will not just go stale that much quicker; it will also turn moldy and stink more than the neutral cup!!
 
As I said, this is an experiment we can all perform in our homes. 

What is important to remember is that we do not need to know why something works- till we know for a fact that it works and then we are able to benefit by following those process steps!! As they say, a truly intelligent person learns from other’s experience.

Having said that, we may or not believe that this is true science. We may or may not believe that water ‘retains memory’- but the evidence of the experiment is very clear. We also know the fact that almost 70% of our bodies is made up of water- so if the rice cup reacts that badly to anger and resentment, then how do our bodies react to such negative emotions?? Have you felt ‘withered’ when you were heavily criticized or felt ‘almost light, joyous and expansive’ when people appreciated you??

Something to reflect on and keep in mind when we interact not just with others but also our own self​!!

How often do we actually take the time to notice our self-talk?? Do you tend to judge yourself? Do you tend to criticize yourself? Are you less forgiving of yourself when you eat that extra slice of pizza or do something for the umpteenth time, even though you have sworn to not do that behavior!!
​
It is true that we need to treat our intensions like a true Sankalp (if you are wondering what it means, then you can read more here…) … like a genuine commitment, but at the same time, we also need to ensure that our self-talk which is the most important talk that we ever have in our life- is filled with true warmth, affection, love, and kindness.

We are all looking for loving and fulfilling relationships, but how many people truly take stock of all the people in their life. It could be our phone contact list or our social media network. We all tend to have many contacts on our phone that have been there for years on end- where we have neither touched base with them nor have, they contacted us!!

Now I do understand that social media network has different dynamics- though frankly speaking we should a give our social-network a good re-look as well, particularly if you use social media only to keep in touch with friends and family- i.e., you do not use it for professional reasons.

Everything in our “sphere of reference” takes up some energy from us. This is the reason that all Feng Shui, Vaastu and other spatial energy experts- ask us to declutter and remove old and un-used things from our life!! 

But what about the people in our life?? Do we really take the time and make the effort to give a “clear look” to all the people in our life… to ensure that those who surround us are the very type of people that we really want to be hanging around us. If we do not do that, then there will be un-checked toxic and/or stagnant people who will continue to be within our sphere of reference- sapping energy and vitality from us!!

Here is something I like to periodically do in my life- particularly at the start of the year, on my birthday and other personally relevant days.
​

• I will go thru my phone list and check out all my personal contacts.
• If it is someone that I have not spoken to or interacted with for some time, then I will send them a quick note (email/text) or give them a quick “hello-call”.
• If we are able to get in touch and rejuvenate our connection, then great. I keep that personal contact on my phone.
• But, if I find that the person did not bother to reply or that there was no meaningful re-connection, then mentally I wish them well, thank them for the time that we did know/interact with each other and then delete their contact information. I remove them not just from my phone-list but also from my mental space and sphere of reference. 

Doing this allows me to keep a clean and clear ‘relationship doorway’ in my life.

This not only ensures that I don’t clog up my ‘personal space’ with uninterested/dis-engaged/toxic folks, but it also gives me a chance to set forth a heart-felt intension out into the universe that- “I am grateful for all the people that it has sent me and that by clearing up my surroundings, I have created the ‘space’ to have new, more meaningful relationships and connections in my life. That I am willing and ready to welcome new, wonderful people in my life.”

Hope you take some time out this new year- to clear up your people-space and make way for new, loving and caring relationships in your life.

​Passion, emotions, likes-dislikes and so on are considered very normal. We all think that this is part of our ‘life’. What this does is, it tends to constantly sway us- one way and then another!! It seems like our well-being is in the hands of those around us- who seem to control us by invisible strings! But we fail realize that we are the ones who have given them that power.

A person could truly have behaved in a very rude or nasty manner. We could choose to address the problem at hand and then let that incident slide from our mind or seethe and fume over how that person behaved. And when we do the later, we are somewhere giving over the control of our mental peace and wellness into that person’s hands. See how we are orchestrating this?

We tend to think of fortune as a wheel. We also tend to think of time as a wheel. The reason being, we are all very familiar with the cyclical nature of time and aware of its ups and downs. But, what we do not realize is that though various part of the wheel goes up or down as the wheel moves, the center of the wheel is always stationary. It moves from one place to the other- BUT does not experience the “up-s and down-s” and does not feel the turbulence that the rest of the wheel experiences.

Though negative turbulence seems to create imbalance, strongly positive situations can also many a times make us feel imbalanced.

When we get caught in the various situations and events- the various happenings in our life; we tend to go up and down with the wheel of life… with the wheel of time and ironically, though it seems to go along a linear path, we truly get stuck! As if we are simply spinning, but the actual wheel is stuck in the mud! 

As people who intend to live a conscious life, it is important for us to relinquish our strong attachments and passion, and instead center our self... to live our life from that center. 

The word meditation comes from ‘medi’ which means center. When we live life from our center, we are constantly in meditation- even while being fully active and conducting various tasks.

The best way to do this is, each time you feel your mind drawn to strong emotions over something that has happened in the past, you recognize the emotion, you evaluate what it is about the situation that still makes you feel involved and vulnerable.

Maybe you regret something you did or said or feel upset over what you perceive as someone’s betrayal and so on. If there is a concrete, conscious action you can currently take to address that situation and positive modify it in some way then surely evaluate your possibilities and if not simply choose to consciously let go of your “reaction” (i.e. the pain, anger, frustration etc.) and let that situation flow away in peace, as time is flowing away (each moment)…

​In English we address the consciousness essence of man as soul. So the question that comes to many is if that be the case, then how come we are all the same and considered to be similar to our creator. I.e. we are all supposed to be similar and at the same time are very different and have our own individual tendencies which we carry thru many lifetimes.

The original Sanskrit word helps us understand this better. Soul or Atma is our consciousness-essence and for a manifested individual it is called as Jivatma (sometimes also written as Jeevatma). Jivatma is made of two words, Jiv (or Jeev) and Atma.

The “Atma” part of the Jivatma, is the microcosmic representation of the macrocosmic divine Consciousness. It is the same in essence and so at this level we are all the same.

Then what makes each one of us unique in our soul journeys is the Jeev part. If you have read the article on our numerous bodies then you understand that we carry all our karmas and samskars (i.e. karmic memory impressions) in our Causal body.

​This causal body makes up the Jeev part of the Jivatma. Since each one of us have had different experiences and our interpretations of life scenarios and resulting actions have been different; we each have our individual Causal body and in this way are an “individual Jeev”. The word Jeev in its most literal sense means a “living form”. Such a living form or Jeev is our basic individual identity.

When we speak of cleansing our karmas and learning our lessons, we are basically working on this part of ourselves. As we progress, we come to the stage of “Enlightenment” which is nothing but true understanding that even this existence of “Jeev or Life-Form” exists because of the delusion of Maya (what maintains the manifestation of separateness and duality).

At this point one is truly aware of the Atma aspect of one’s being. I.e. one is truly aware of our “Atmic Self”- this is nothing but a microcosmic drop of the macrocosmic Consciousness.

But till one is living a physical life, Enlightenment is as high an energetic state one can be in- since without letting the body go, which includes the Causal form and Jeev aspect, one cannot truly and completely merge in the macrocosmic Consciousness. This requires not just the awareness of one’s Atma but also detachment from one’s “Jeev-self”.

​If one has reached that stage of realization, then at the end of that lifetime, their Jeev would drop off! I.e. their Causal body along with its karmas and samskars would get dropped off and their Atma, their very essence will merge with the macrocosmic Consciousness. This is called moksha. It is ONLY after moksha that one will not be entangled with any further cycles of birth and death- since there is no “jeev- karmic causual body” creating the need for further births (and deaths)!

What I have observed is there are several folks who reach Enlightenment in their lifetime and continue on their “Soul Energy (Atmic) journey” for further understanding and awareness of their Cosmic self. Such folks are at higher energy states than of Enlightenment, but since they still have their physical life-form, it is imperative that they continue to lead their lives with non-action, i.e. without incurring any karma or creating any further karmic samskars. If they are able to do so, then at the end of that life-time they can reach Moksha.

In case, they incur karma or get caught in any delusions of the Maya, then their causal body will not drop off at death and will continue with their Atma- leading to further cycles of birth and death.

So, along with understanding one’s true nature of “Consciousness” it is important for us to lead our life in non-action: i.e. action which does not incur karma or create any forms of “attachment”! We will address this concept of Non-Action in another post.
