Today morning i was updating some files and decided to confirm yet

again what has been cross-examined numerous times over the years. At

about 7.30 am 10-year-old Lalita was asked about the Light:

 

 

Question: What is above Shri Mataji's head?

 

Lalita: The Light.

 

Question: Can you look at it for a long time?

 

Lalita: Yes, you can look at it.

 

Question: Does it not blind you?

 

Lalita: It doesn't blind me.

 

Question: Is it different from the sun you see on Earth?

 

Lalita: Yes.

 

Question: Why?

 

Lalita: It's smaller.

 

Question: Anything else?

 

Lalita: It doesn't blind you. What else ...... It's brighter. OK?

 

myself: Thank you Lalita.

 

 

This Light is always above the Great Divine Mother, and this Spirit

of God Almighty resides within the Sahasraras of all humans. Unlike

Her incarnation on Earth as Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, now an aging

octogenarian, She is eternally youthful and of unsurpassable beauty.

Kash, Arwinder and Lalita have always maintained that they have never

seen any woman as beautiful as Shri Maha-Devi who is truly the Great

Primordial Goddess. (Shri Saraswati, Laxshmi and Kali are also

extremely beautiful but none are comparable with the Maha-Devi.)

 

" The Devi Gita, or Song of the Goddess, presents a grand vision of

the universe created, pervaded, and protected by a supremely

powerful, all-knowing, and wholly compassionate divine female. She is

Maha-Devi, the Great Goddess, wielding all power (Shakti) in the

universe. Yet power is not just an attribute of the Goddess; she is

power or Shakti itself. To her most devoted followers, known as

Shaktas (worshippers of the supreme Shakti), she is the auspicious

Mother of the World, ever anxious for the welfare of her children.

Unlike the ferocious Hindu goddesses such as Kali and Durga, the

World Mother of the Devi Gita is beautiful and benign, although some

of her lesser manifestations may take on terrible forms. And unlike

some other beneficent female divinities as Parvati and Lakshmi, she

is subject to no male consort. Subject to none, she is the Shakti of

all. " (The Devi Gita, pg. 1)

 

It is the last sentence that is most profound and true: " Subject to

none, she is the Shakti of all. " Unlike Shri Shiva, Krishna, Brahma,

Rama, Vishnu with their female consorts, neither Kash, Arwinder or

Lalita have ever seen the Great Divine Mother with any companion. She

alone sits on the Timeless Throne with the Eternal Light above Her at

all times. All the greatest gods, prophets, and messengers bow

down in humble reverence and homage before meditating on Her. Each

and every soul in the Spirit World also meditate on Her at all times.

There is nothing higher or supreme to the Shakti in heaven or earth!

 

Jai Shri Mataji,

" The value of direct experience is many things. One benefit is the

ability to follow ourselves, to guide ourselves, rather than fully

handing ourselves over to spiritual leaders. Recently, a spiritual

leader with innumerable devotees throughout the world was uncovered

as a paedophile. He used the guise of a spiritual leader very

convincingly, as a way of attracting unsuspecting people for his

horrible desires. This is one of many examples proving the dangers of

blind belief and the lack of inner investigation.

 

Another benefit is apparent in the person's own spirituality. While

many spiritual people seem to walk a vague and abstract path that on

inspection has no solid foundation, a person who is able to

experience spiritual phenomena themselves comes to realise the

concrete nature of spirituality. We lose the misty fog that surrounds

much modern spirituality. Instead, we develop along a tangible

spiritual path due to the fruits of our own efforts.

 

Directly experiencing mystical things is magical, strengthening and

beyond our imagination. It is exciting and clarifying, gradually

giving us everything we need, answering our many questions and

putting us personally in the realm of the esoteric. The experience of

astral projection, for example, coming out of our body and

encountering awesome spiritual beings, occult temples, etc is

incredibly liberating and refreshing in that our experience

solidifies the reality of things, blowing all the tedious theory that

clogs our mind out of the water. What we are capable of is beautiful

and we are all able to do it, no matter who we are — even you.

Legitimate spiritual experience reveals the spiritual path. While

this is lacking, we can't really penetrate into the heart of what is

spiritual. Belief in itself is not enough. We need to know.

 

There is no requirement in Gnosis to believe or disbelieve, to accept

or reject. All that is needed is the interest in approaching the

techniques with an open mind, testing the information through sincere

effort. We would all testify that the teachings are real and

effective — but you don't need to take our word for it; aim for

the first-hand experience. "

Is God All in the Mind?

A review by Michael Shermer

 

 

Why God Won't Go Away Brain Science and the Biology of Belief

Andrew Newberg, Eugene D'Aquili, and Vince Rause

Ballantine, New York, 2001. 234 pp. $24.95, C$37.95. ISBN: 0-345-

44033-1.

 

 

About ten years ago, when I began to research why people believe in

God, I asked a colleague in a religious studies program to recommend

the latest path-breaking scientific work in this area. " William

James's 1890 Varieties of Religious Experience, " he responded

sardonically. In his opinion, he explained, the field was largely

moribund.

 

That perception was an exaggeration, of course, but his point was

that with the exception of a handful of psychologists teaching at

theological seminaries, mainstream social and cognitive scientists

had largely ignored the question. The situation has changed

dramatically in the past decade, as the renewed debate on the

relation between science and religion has exploded onto the cultural

landscape and scientists from a variety of fields have entered the

fray. Why God Won't Go Away presents an interpretation developed by

Andrew Newberg and Eugene D'Aquili, physicians at the University of

Pennsylvania. Newberg holds joint appointments in radiology and

religious studies, and D'Aquili, now deceased, was a professor of

psychiatry. Co-author Vince Rause is a free-lance writer. Their

breezy and speculative book was written for general readers, but it

provides enough new material, especially on the neurophysiology of

mystical experiences, to hold the interest of professional scientists.

 

God won't go away, the authors argue, because the religious impulse

is rooted in the biology of the brain. When Buddhist monks meditate

and Franciscan nuns pray, for example, single photon emission

computed tomography scans of their brains indicate strikingly low

activity in the posterior superior parietal lobe. The authors dub

this bundle of neurons the orientation association area (OAA). The

area's primary function is to orient the body in physical space;

people with damage to this area have a hard time negotiating their

way around their surroundings. When the OAA is up and running

smoothly, there is a sharp distinction between self and non-self.

When the OAA is in sleep mode--as in deep meditation and prayer--that

division breaks down and, consequently, the lines between reality and

fantasy are blurred. Is this what happens to monks who feel a oneness

with the universe or with nuns who feel the presence of God?

 

Yes, say the authors. They claim to have " uncovered solid evidence

that the mystical experiences of [their] subjects--the altered states

of mind they described as the absorption of the self into something

larger--were not the result of emotional mistakes or simple wishful

thinking, but were associated instead with a series of observable

neurological events. " Although this is an odd distinction to make,

the authors maintain it throughout the book. They recognize that a

skeptic might explain " all spiritual longings and experiences,

including the universal human yearning to connect with something

divine, " as delusions that stem from misfiring brain cells. Indeed, I

am one such skeptic, but I fail to see the difference (outside a

minor linguistic distinction) between a delusion and a decrease in

OAA activity. Delusion is simply a description of what happens when

the OAA shuts down and the brain loses the ability to distinguish

self from non-self. It's still all in the brain. Unless, of course,

one believes these neurologically triggered mystical experiences

actually serve as a conduit to a real spiritual world where God (or

what the authors call " Absolute Unitary Being " ) resides. That is, in

fact, what they believe: " our research has left us no choice but to

conclude that the mystics may be on to something, that the mind's

machinery of transcendence may in fact be a window through which we

can glimpse the ultimate realness of something that is truly divine. "

Thankfully they are honest enough to admit that this conclusion " is a

terrifically unscientific idea " and that to accept it " we must

second-guess all our assumptions about material reality. "
