Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 My pleasure Dr Nachiketa! No I have never tried planchette, I might try given the right circumstances but I believe there are other, more effective and safer ways to summon spirits. I dont know exactly the psychic mechanism of planchette so I cant be sure whether its the spirits or the subconsciousness that communicates through it. I believe that both cases are possible to occur. A spirit would have to use the etheric energy of the people who are calling it, to manifest its ideas on the board. So this might not be a good experiment for people of poor health, who dont have enough pranic stocks . Generally, it is said that many mediums and psychics have poor health because their astral- etheric body is not constantly fixed on the physical. This is what makes them perceive etheric phenomena more easily but this deprives them also from a lot of energy. I have felt this once, during an effort to astral project. After returning my attention into the physical body, I had absolutely no strength to get up. I had to lie for 30 minutes until I gathered enough energy to use the physical body again. (and this was nothing like sleep paralysis, this was pure lack of energy). I dont know why this happens. This has happened to me only once and I hope it will never happen again! I believe yogis and tantrists are more intelligent than the western occultists when it comes to using extra sensory perceptions (ESP). Many of the them use spirits to help them evolve spiritually (aghoris), others avoid any sort of contact with spirits apart from concentrating and calling on their deity through japa. After all each mantra connects us to the astral region of the deity it represents. A good question: Is a deity (such as shiva) a spirit of a higher level? Or is it pure impersonal astral energy? Many might argue that dealing with spirits and their worlds is not a goal acceptable for a sadhaka and a person who wishes to raise above all limitations and attain moksha. However, a person who meditates will inevitably be confronted with the subtle worlds and potential spirits. If we are ignorant of what spirits are and how they can interfere with us, we might get into trouble. This is one of the very important reasons to knowing and studying their world. If we dont accept their influence upon us, this does not mean that they dont exist. PS: When I say spirits, I mean any astral entity, be that a ghost (a person who has just died), or a permanent astral dweller, an elemental, or a mere thoughtform that has come into life due to occult experiments. Most of the spirits which we encounter easily, must be lower kinds of spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact one of my friends just raised this question " what a sadhaka has to do with spirits and ghosts" and i was about to write this, when i saw your post with the same answers. YES i agree with you, though knowing abt life after death is not a pre-requisite for a sadhaka, but it certainly helps one during pre- samadhi encounters. Moreover if we know about life after death, perhaps our fear of death will vanish. Many sadhakas have told me, that they were helped in their sadhna by unknown spirits, by giving them guidance. One of my friend who had no knowledge of pranayama, japa etc. got the information from a holy spirit through planchette. But planchette has one drawback, it needs at least three persons to work. I have personally found dowsing to be the best for the moments of doubt and it normally gives right directions. Have u tried dowsing ? It is normally used to find underground water etc. but if properly trained dowsing can help in finding answers to the unknown world even for guidance in sadhna. nachiketa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 dear ajit. We can communicate with our sub-conscious through many physical means, and dowsing is one of them. Dowsing is used throughout the world mainly to find water source hidden behind earth but it can be used to know future to get guidance in material as well as spiritual matters. The best dowsing appratus would be a non-ferrous cone of about 50- 60 gms. tie a thread on its base and tie the other side of the thread to a wooden stick about 1 feet long. the length of the thread should be also about one feet. for dowsing the wooden stick is held by both hands keeping the hanging cone on the other side of the stick. Some people have natural powers to work on dowsing, but it is my experience that anyone who has faith in para-normal phenomenon, can develop his skills. For developing skills, we should not just start dowsing and start asking for future and difficult questions. First thing is to train the appratus and tune it with the sub-conscious. Some simple exercise need to be done for about a month before starting actual dowing. You can put a white paper and draw a circle on it and in the center of the circle draw a big dot. Now on the horizontal radius write YES and on vertical radius write NO. sit in a comfortable position hang the cone on the center of the circle and start gazing the cone without any disturbance around. Then ask a simple question like "Am i a male? if yes then start moving on Yes line and if No then start moving on NO line" After some moments the cone will start moving on the yes line. In the beginning the motion will be slow and of lesser distance. Keep asking simple questions like"Is it day now? Am I sitting at North Pole? etc etc. such questions whose obvious answers are firm Yes or No. This exercise will start tuning the cone to your sub-cons. You can slowly start putting long question but with simple yes or no answer and after each question you can give clear instructions to the pendulum that it has to move horizontally in case it wishes to say Yes and vertically if it has to say No and start moving in a circle if the answer is uncertain. This training of pendulum has to continue till you start getting quick replies correct replies and faster movements. The time depends on one's high will power, imaginations and spiritual development. Once trained fully with known answers, you can not take the dowsing outside where u know there is a water pipe passing underneath. Instruct the pendulum to move horizontally if there is pipe underneath. Some such experiences and then go on asking very simple questions of very near future. In the beginning the answers may be wrong too, but if you are getting 50% correct replies, it means the dowsing is working and it is only a little more tuning that it would start giving abt 90% correct replies (10% is still with god - as no dowsing can give 100% correct replies).
