Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 --- this is an extract from what i wrote to vijay... i really did not want you to face what i faced. if it was any other fanatic, i would have kept quiet, but i thought you are very sensible. unfortunately, all you heard was that called you greedy. missed that i wrote about my own greed. do you not see the crap. i have been through it. we are normal human beings we have normal desires. we want a great career,a great personal life, and free dom from mishappenenings in the present and in the future. And we indeed should do all in our right to get to it. but the problem with any thing that is cult like is that they have a hold on you, one more diksha, one more yantra.... we hypnotize ourselves into believing that things will not get ok until we get that extra yantra and take that extra diksha. fear of fighting, as arjun faced in mahabharat--fear of failure in sadhnas, choosing the easy path, downright laziness is presented to ourselves and others as devotion to gurudev.... and you get deeper and deeper into it till there is no escape. you were talking about positive spiritual experiences, i would tell you some negative things i have faced for years now perhaps a result of the same tantric prayogs-there was not one there were multiple. for many years now i had been having these strange experiences. they have in fact been happening for the past 10 years, but the frequency increased from say once in six months to everynight. it is difficult to describe them because all i can all them is vibrations, in some state of my sleep i felt an external control over my body when i totally loose control, i usually in that state chant some mantra and use will power to regain coontrol, but they leave me with a heavy head for days to come. i tried all theories spirits this that..wore this yantra and that yantra, there were also anusthans done for me-nothing helped. then thanks to GOD's grace i realized one simple thing. there is a problem with strong will gone astray. if you do not wish to be cured nothing will cure you....and you alone can help yourself. all this stuff even if they are ghosts have a hold on you through your subconscious. the remedy is not in seeking it outside, the remedy simply lies in changing your own fear pattern, telling yourself that whatever it is you will get rid of it, and consciously making the conscious stronger than the subconscious. all i do today is light a lamp -a simple candle before shiva, and chant a particualr kavach pertaining to him which appeared in an old issue of MTY by the grace of guruji. believe me i sleep well. it was when i was handing these confusions that you came to this group, and talked about scientific affirmations. etc in curiosity i bought them, i still have read only 3 pages of each because until i practice what is preached i will not go to the next. and so you were instrumental (god's instrument..)in some slight way in my seeing light. how can then i willingly push you to deep darkness..... i have to pay it back with interest. i am sorry i called you greedy. our faults anger us most when we see them in others, but i have made all the mistakes you are going to make.... good wishes jaigurudev, anu In , Yoga man <childofdevi> wrote: > Namaste! > > I have decided to "vanish" for sometime due to > personal reasons.
