Psychic Vampires and energy stealers are everywhere! They are your family members, your friends and they are your co-workers and YOU may even be one yourself. A more common name is a Psychic Vampire and we all know what vampires do! In this case the vampire is sucking our vital energy, depleting us and causing us to become unhealthy emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Spiritual purification and cord cutting are some tools that can keep the vampires away!

What does the term ‘Psychic Vampire’ mean anyway? A psychic vampire is a person that steals other people’s energies because they are living their life in victim consciousness and believe that everything happens ’to’ them. Living in this manner is very dis-empowering. Therefore in order for them to feel better about themselves they need to attach themselves to another person’s energy field. In order for this ‘vampire’ to attach themselves to your energy body, they form cords attaching the two of you together. When they need a boost, they unconsciously steal your energy instead of using their own! These cords are also like highways and run both ways! That means that you will also receive their energy whether it is positive or negative. If they have a headache, you may also develop a headache. It they are depressed, you may become depressed. If they are angry, you may become angry and so on. As you can see this can be very detrimental to your health. At an unconscious level, you have allowed the vampire or vampires to attach themselves to your energy body through these cords. These cords are not visible to the naked eye but they can be seen with the psychic third eye. These cords prevent you from really being the real you! It is imperative that these cords be severed and sometimes a spiritual purification is required for your well-being and also for the growth of the other person.

How do we recognize a Psychic Vampire? Some traits of the dis-empowered energy stealer are:

• feels lonely or abandoned
• feels they have been rejected
• needs constant reassurance
• never feels satisfied
• doesn’t like to be alone
• seeks nurturing or feels they need to be taken care of
• low energy and fatigued
• they have a poor me attitude
• is a drama king or queen
• constant talker that never allows you to speak
• needs you to be their therapist or rescuer fixing their problems
• he blamer making you feel guilty about things
• vindictive by putting you down
• a person that is unhappy a lot
• tries controlling you or your life
• manipulates you to get things their way

How do I know if I am being psychically attacked?

• dizziness
• loss of energy
• muscle tension
• mental confusion
• headaches
• chronic fatigue
• sleep disturbances
• irritability
• depressed mood
• physical illness
• small diminishing aura
• leaks, holes and/or tears in your aura
• and a whole lot more!

I know, you are now thinking that is almost everyone alive! Unfortunately, too many people are simply not aware of their energetic bodies and how they operate. Once people start taking responsibility for creating their own lives and taking back their personal power this will not be an epidemic. (Granted other conditions also can be the cause of these symptoms besides being psychically attacked.) Those that psychically attack others either do this consciously or subconsciously. Either way it is detrimental to your health, in all areas of your energetic being, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

How do I protect myself from this? First you need to become aware of which individuals deplete your energy and limit your contact with them. But simply not being in their physical presence does not stop them from draining you! Know that not all people attacking you are people that you know either! Secondly, you need to release all the negative emotions that you carry within yourself. If you hold anger, hurt, jealousy etc. inside your being, it is like you are shackled to a ball and chain, holding you hostage with your own creation! Releasing of all negative emotions brings freedom as fear is the robber of peace. Why must I do this? Because any disharmony in our four energetic bodies will cause us to be vulnerable, so that darkness and confusion can enter. Being aware of this is empowering. I stress this, do not go into fear now that you are aware of this. Simply take the steps to protect yourself. Darkness consists of anything that is of a lower/heavier vibration such as anger, fear, depression, jealousy, hatred etc. When angry thoughts are directed at you, they can penetrate your weak and vulnerable areas like arrows. What happens is they take away your clarity and fill you with confusion and drain your energy. Following are some tools to empower yourself from Psychic Vampires.

Here is a simple cord cutting exercise. Cord cutting should be done on a daily basis and much more often when we are going through a stressful period in our life. These cords should be cut from our loved ones as well. No cord attached to anyone or thing is good!

Take some deep cleansing breaths. In through the nose and out through the mouth. Call upon Arch Angel Michael and ask him for his assistance in cutting all cords that are attached to your being. Visualize Michael swirling his sword around your entire being severing all the cords. Know that no cord can remain intact and they are returning to where they came from. When you feel Michael has completed this process, thank him for his assistance. It is done. Easy as that!

Here are some physical steps for purification.

• Burn all relevant photographs or objects holding memories of the person, place or situation.
• Write down all feelings of frustration, anger, hurt, fear, etc., and burn the paper, flush it down the toilet or bury it. Please don’t give it to the person! Repeat this step as often as necessary.
• Clear all the clutter from every room of your home. Rule of thumb. If you haven’t used in 6 months it’s not likely you will! Get rid of it.
• Clean and if necessary redecorate your home. Bringing nature indoors is wonderful energy!
• Check there are no books in your bookshelves or pictures on your walls that have negative energy. Surround yourself with high vibrational objects, spiritual books, spiritual pictures, plants, fresh flowers etc.
• Sprinkle holy water in all rooms starting at the center spiraling outwards.
• Smudge with sage, cedar and sweetgrass and invoke the help of God, the Ascended Masters, the Great White Brother and Sisterhood, the Archangels and Angels, your Higherself and I AM Presence.
• Play sacred music and sing, chant OM or say The Lord’s Prayer.
• Cleanse and purify your crystals and dedicate them to the Light.
• Light candles and use high vibrational pure essential oils.

You now have the tools and knowledge to take back your personal power. I invite you to empower yourself today!

Does a universal spiritual healing energy exist that can seemingly create miracles in your life? Can this energy accelerate your spiritual enlightenment? Can this energy also heal your body and mind?

Many cultures think there is. Let’s take an imaginary vacation around the world and explore this energy.
Imagine traveling to the big island of Hawaii. You investigate an active volcano and witness scientists placing steel rods into the lava.

The steel rods melt. However, much to your astonishment there is a woman walking through the lava unharmed.

Of course you want an answer to this mystery so you approach the scientists to ask them why. How can steel melt in the lava, yet the woman’s feet are totally protected?

The scientists look at you and shrug their shoulders. It’s an anomaly,” they explain. This answer doesn’t help you very much. So you ask the woman how she does it.

She explains that she is a Kahuna and that she believes in a universal spiritual healing energy known to her as Manna.

She believes this energy spiritually benefits her and it can also protect her from the lava. She further counsels you that it can benefit you as well but only if you believe in it.

Let’s continue our mental vacation and travel to Tibet in the winter. You are met by a Sherpa guide. Imagine you are wearing a parka and but are still cold. You travel to a location where you find several monks nearly naked, sitting upon large blocks of ice.

These monks are being filmed and to your surprise they are melting the ice! Of course your rational mind demands an explanation. You turn to the scientists and the camera crew that is filming this event.

The scientist proclaims, It’s an anomaly.” Again the explanation doesn’t give you any information. You approach the monks with your Sherpa Guide. You learn that the monks believe in a universal spiritual healing energy which they call Tumho.

They believe this energy will benefit their spiritual enlightenment and it can be used in spiritual healing. They further believe that it protects them from the cold. They wisely counsel you that this energy can work for you too, if you believe in it.

Let’s continue our investigation and travel to China. Much like Bill Moyers discovered n the 1980′s we find a small elderly man in his 80′s. He is a Tai Chi master and we learn that no one can budge him from his spot.

When we ask the scientists how this is possible, they proclaim, “It’s an anomaly.” Wanting more understanding, you approach the Tai Chi master and learn that he believes in a universal spiritual healing energy known as the Chi.

He believes this energy accelerates his spiritual evolution and it is also a healing energy. He further explains to you that if you believe in this energy it can work for you too.

The next leg of our journey takes us to India where we meet a spiritual yogi, perhaps the supreme yogi, Sri Babaji, the Immortal One. We speak with this young man, a spiritual giant in India, who never ages and wonder about his secret.

He tells us he believes in a universal spiritual healing energy known as Prana. He believes that this energy is most beneficial for spiritual enlightenment and it keeps his body youthful.

He further believes that this energy can be literally brought into one’s life with an intention. Babaji says that this energy can work for you, if you believe in it.

For the last part of our vacation, we journey to France, to Lourdes. While visiting the sacred healing area, we are faced with numerous miracles that science can only explain as an anomaly.

A man riddled with tumors the size of lemons bathes in the water and emerges totally free from them. Crippled women told by medicine they would never walk again bathe in the waters and walk again.

When you ask the nuns what is happening, they proclaim, “We believe in a universal spiritual healing energy we call the Holy Spirit.” They believe this energy furthers spiritual understanding, creating healing miracles in the body and mind.

They believe this energy will work for you as well, if you believe in it.

In our travels we’ve discovered a universal spiritual healing energy known as Manna, Tumho, Chi, Prana or Holy Spirit. It appears that this energy becomes available to believers.

What about you? Are you ready to believe and to receive the benefits of a universal spiritual healing energy? Do you want to feel more connected to a sacred energy that will further your spiritual enlightenment and assist in healing if needed?

If you are ready for the transformation from non-believer into believer, then take a tip from a successful pharmacist of the 1800′s.

His name was Emile Coue and most recognized through his affirmation, “Every day in every way I am getting better and better.”

Coue believed in the effects of his pharmaceuticals, but also believed that the mind was able to affect and even accelerate the action of these medications.

By consciously directing one’s thoughts, he observed that his patients could cure themselves more efficiently by replacing their thought of illness with a new thought of cure.

Coue believed that repeating words or images enough times causes the subconscious to absorb them. The cures were the result of using imagination or positive autosuggestion to the exclusion of one’s own, often negative thoughts.

Let’s use this idea to attune you to the universal spiritual healing energy. Start with the idea that you need to believe in the energy. Replace your thoughts of non-belief with thoughts of belief.

What is a belief? It is a thought held with passion. Just as a yogi consciously believes he can inhale this sacred energy, cultivate the belief within you that you too can breathe in and absorb this energy.
Place your body in a comfortable position.

When yogis want to relax and meditate, they lie down, allowing their shoulders to sink to the earth. They also focus their attention on the middle of their foreheads.

Next, they take a few cleansing breaths to relax their minds and have the right attitude. A cleansing breath is breathing through your nose and exhaling out your mouth while making an audible “aaaaaaahhh” sound.

While doing this, try to imagine you are sinking into a tub of warm, soothing water.

Now prepare your mind with some thoughts. Say the following affirmation aloud three times with PASSION:

“My body and mind are about to receive the universal spiritual healing energy.”

Pause after each repetition and believe this is about to happen. Believe this is the case.

Repeat this affirmation three times:

“My body and mind are now receiving the universal spiritual healing energy.”

Again, after each repetition, pause and feel it. Anticipate and expect it to happen.

Now for the final step with the affirmations, repeat three times:

“My body and mind are completely receiving the universal spiritual healing energy.”

Pause and feel that you are receiving and absorbing this sacred healing energy.

If you practice this affirmation every day, you will find that your ability to receive this sacred energy increases. You are learning to receive and absorb this energy. It doesn’t matter if you call this energy the Holy Spirit, tumho, prana, manna, chi or the power of thought.

The greatest discovery in human history was the discovery of mind. Your thoughts can draw this energy into your life and create surprising changes.

This energy exists if you believe in it. It won’t force itself upon you, but you can choose to bring it into your life. You have the power of choice. Your moment of power is always in the present. It’s your choice.

You now have the power to become a believer and a receiver of this spiritual universal healing energy.

Do you have the ability to recognize an old soul? By this I mean a soul who has traveled to earth many times and experienced many lives.

I am extremely lucky in this respect as my wife, Vivian, is such a person. She was born a medium and clairvoyant and has experienced many things in her life that we less traveled souls often consider strange or miraculous and when she asks the spirit world for help they listen and can cause miracles to happen.

One such miracle happened when Vivian acted as the birthing partner
for our daughter Sheryl at the birth of our grandson. The birth did not go according to plan and our grandson was stillborn. He had died in the womb after having no heartbeat for ten minutes. As soon as he was born the staff took him to the resuscitation room and started to work on him. My wife however was not worried for one minute, even when the doctor told us that babies don’t survive after this length of time, but if they did they would be badly disabled because of oxygen deprivation.

For a further twenty minutes after his birth the medical team tried to resuscitate him then suddenly he started to breathe for himself. He was rushed to the babies’ special care unit, where tests showed that he indeed had suffered severe brain damage. But joyfully, he was alive. My wife however, calmly announced that he would be fine and that he had been brought back at her request. She had confidence in her spirit friends!

The hospital staff members were amazed at his progress and called him a little miracle. At four months of age he was scanned again and his brain was proven to be completely normal. Now he is developing into a beautiful little boy with the brightest smile you have ever seen.

This is just one example of the way unusual things happen around Vivian. She has such a calm personality and focuses on helping other people to achieve the best that they can.

You may also have someone special in your life. Someone you may recognize as being different and in touch with the world in a special way.

Old souls are highly advanced and I believe, very rare. They are rewarding to work with and are usually placed here on earth as incarnated guides. Advanced souls usually go about their tasks in a quiet and unassuming manner helping people to achieve fulfillment in their own lives.

These souls have exceptional insight and are calm in the face of adversity. They create calmness around themselves and can raise another person’s consciousness just by talking to them or even just by being with them.

They may often disregard their own physical needs. Older souls are recognized by their serene nature and often, penetrating or searching eyes that are able to see into your soul.

When these individuals are regressed under hypnotherapy you may find that they have been returning to earth for eons and so have lived many lives. Normally our souls reincarnate to experience life. When we are on the other side everything is very simple. We can experience another individual’s feelings just as we can feel the emotion of a living person. It is like playing a film with the ability to jump into the bodies of the actors and experience their feelings at that moment. This gives us a better insight into human emotions and many of us decide to experience this for ourselves, so we agree to come back to earth in a new body to experience new feelings.

Life on the other side is full of brightness and love. Fear does not exist nor hunger, want or need. Our emotions are based on love and happiness. The people with old souls remember this feeling and know for certain that there is nothing to fear on earth for they have been here many times, suffered many things and died many deaths, always to return safely to that spirit state. When a soul remembers this, what else is there to fear?

An old soul looks upon death as a natural progression that brings a person home and not as a deep loss or the end of everything. Sometimes this outlook is misunderstood by us younger souls on earth, as we do not yet have the ability to remember a time without fear, need and want. Old souls are content with helping others rather than trying to make a place for themselves in this life. They give out love and are happy if this is returned to them.

Children can easily identify with an old soul and immediately feel at home in their presence. The same applies to animals, as these innocent souls are still connected to the afterlife in a strong way.

I hope that you have an old soul in your own life, but if not, I am sure you will recognize one if you are lucky enough to cross their path.

Recently featured by lifestyle.inquirer.net/wellness, a psychic reader answers reader questions regarding curses, the causes, and how they can affect your life.

The other question comes from Jane Nuevo (not her real name) and the question is about “curse.”

“I just want to be enlightened about curse. I know it was mentioned not a few times in the Bible, but does it really apply in our time?

“If someone cursed me and said, ‘malasin ka sana!’ (may you have bad luck) will it really affect my life? If so, can I do something to protect myself from such thing? If already a victim of a curse, can I do something to free me from such?”

This is not so simple a question to answer. First, let us define our terms. What do we mean by a curse? It is a word or thought uttered to another with the intention of causing him harm or making him suffer pain or disease.

So, essentially what they are saying is that a curse is a ‘negative thought’ which can be used as a weapon directed at others, by those who have and are abusing their great gifts and psychic power – these negative thoughts have POWER and seem to affective people physically!

Try asking around three to five persons in your office to play a psychological game on an officemate. When this person “A” reports for work, employee “B” tells him, “Oh, you look pale and weak, are you sick?” He says, “Of course not, I feel fine.”

Then he meets employee “C” who is part of the conspiracy, and he tells “A”: “Hey, is there something wrong with you? Why do you look weak and sluggish? Are you sick?” He ignores it.

Then a third employee, “D,” tells him the same thing, that he’d better see a doctor because he didn’t look good. By the time he sees employee “E,” employee A is just about to believe he is really sick. He then begins to feel weak and may even develop a headache or fever. All because several employees had suggested to his mind that he is sick. And if his mind accepts that, then he will indeed become sick.

Curses work in a similar manner. If you curse a person and he believes he is cursed, it will have its desired affect. But if he doesn’t believe it, the curse will not have an effect on him, unless this is accompanied by a powerful ritual intended to overcome his mental resistance to it. I’ve heard and read that there are some sorcerers in Haiti and in our own Siquijor Island who have the power to make a person ill at a distance through black magic.

So, there must be something to this matter of curses, even in our so-called modern scientific world. And if already a victim of a curse, how can one free himself or herself from it? By breaking the psychic connection between the sorcerer and the victim. There are psychics who can do this and who can return the curse to its originator or source. But this must be done only by somebody who has the power and the ability to do so. Otherwise, it can boomerang against him.

An interesting article and viewpoint that curses are essentially directed ‘negative thoughts’, which can essentially be used as a weapon by those abusing their own psychic powers.

The Need for a Guru in the spiritual, metaphysical path, various disciplines and exercises are conducted to aid the awakening and the unfoldment of the faculties and virtues of the divinity within. To attune with the Higher Self, one is required to undergo the process of purification and to carry-out meditative exercises. Meditation, concentration, visualizations, chanting, esoteric rituals, and other spiritual disciplines are utilized as aids on the path of spiritual and metaphysical development. In order to tread the metaphysical path a spiritual teacher or Guru is indispensable as a way-shower. The Guru or Adept having been on the spiritual path for many years, or for the greater part of his/her life, or even for several lifetimes is qualified to guide the enthusiastic aspirant. Treading the spiritual path alone without outside assistance and guidance is a difficult task. Only a few great souls are able to do this. However, it should be noted that according to tradition and occult revelation, even great souls like Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad had Guru-Chela relationships with Spiritual Masters, both physical and non-physical. External spiritual preceptors are here to “push” or motivate the aspirant, just as the inner divine Master is present within our beings to “pull” us inwards, to help us gravitate towards the Inner Light.

Learning from books has its disadvantages; firstly, one is unable to bask in the presence of a Guru. A genuine Guru radiates powerful energies that stimulate slumbering souls in his immediate vicinity. The Master’s aura prompts the energy-level of those around him to step-up in frequency. By constantly being in the presence of a Guru one gradually transforms one’s microcosmic vehicles to a higher expression. One accelerates spiritually by being in the proximity of a Spiritual Preceptor. It is like a magnet that induces iron bits to become magnetized just as it is simply by the association.

Secondly, books do not provide all of the keys or knowledge necessary that would open metaphysical doorways to higher worlds or to higher states of awareness. Many keys are omitted in books. Thirdly, books hardly present a two-way interaction that a Guru-Chela relationship offers. From these three points (and there are more) it can be seen how necessary it is to have a Way-Shower. Genuine spiritual/metaphysical teachers are not easily found or met. One meets a real Spiritual Guide partially because of spiritual merit. There is an occult saying, “When the student is ready the Master appears.” The student has to prepare himself for the Master’s advent by attaining a certain soul-level, by spiritual works and study. It should be realized, however, that those individuals passing themselves off as Spiritual Gurus and Metaphysical Masters are hardly what they claim themselves to be. Here lies the problem for the occult tyro–how to discern the true Master from the “false prophet,” or the wolf in sheep clothing and the true Shepherd of the Spirit.

In the traditional teachings of Christianity we are told that St.Peter, one of the Apostles of Christ, guards the portals to the Kingdom of Heaven. He holds within his hands various keys that would unlock the gate and allow the soul to pass the threshold and enter into a world of heavenly delight, to a land where one could pluck and eat the fruits of the Tree of Life. The average Christian interprets this teaching literally. In truth, this is merely an allegory, an esoteric precept referring to the principle that a Spiritual Guru or Murshid, (St.Peter) is necessary to guide one’s spiritual development. The Spiritual Guru holds and preserves the keys of metaphysical (mystical/magickal) development. By applying the keys (the cosmic laws and spiritual principles) that the Guru transmits to his disciples, it would be possible to acquire a spiritual consciousness (the Kingdom of Heaven) and consume the fruits of the Tree of Life (a constant awareness of one’s immortality).

In the early days of Christianity, “priests” functioned as Gurus and not merely as preachers. In the centuries that followed, the priesthood lost the keys to Heaven because of their corruption and degeneration. They subsequently grew envious of those that did possess the keys, the gnosis or spiritual, esoteric knowledge. This was one of the factors that instigated the attack of the orthodoxy upon the Christian sects called Gnostics. These Gnostics were the custodians of the secret, esoteric, spiritual teachings of the Essenes, the Master Jesus and the other divine avatars.
Now it should be realized that not all Spiritual Gurus are of the same evolutionary level. They are of various initiatory grades. Some Gurus offer their services specifically to the masses, to the average person on the street; others are here on the physical plane to help higher-evolved persons, or those of disciple status to attain the first and second planetary initiation. Rarely do we find Gurus who are real Adepts and Masters guiding those who have heard the call of the soul to attain liberation, enlightenment, and the ascension. Each person who is interested in metaphysical and spiritual culture will find himself at the doorstep of the Guru most appropriate to his present state of soul development. When he grows spiritually to a certain point with the guidance of his Preceptor, he may eventually find himself being led to other Gurus of a higher grade or different ray-ashram for further esoteric instructions or for developing a different soul-quality..

Metaphysical Development
In the Path of metaphysical development it would be advantageous and worthwhile for the spiritual aspirant to study the spiritual teachings of various religions and philosophies. Anything that would help refine one’s soul-character and expand one’s metaphysical knowledge is beneficial. The student should be equally comfortable studying the teachings of Alchemy or Zen. By the exploring of various teachings we do not imply that one should build one’s spiritual philosophy upon the foundation of syncretism. This would hardly work if we strive to integrate the superficial, dogmatic aspects of religion. What we would like students of metaphysics to probe is the essence or core of religions, back to the source of all religions, or to the Gupta Vidya–the Ageless Teachings. In the Old Testament, for instance, we were admonished by God to walk the ancient paths (Jeremiah 6:16). This “ancient path” is an esoteric term for the Ageless teachings, or the Ancient Wisdom. Followers of the “New Age” movement may consider the revelations received through the phenomenon of “channeling” as something novel; however, the essence of what is revealed is nothing new and is to be found in the spiritual teachings of all ancient cultures. We admonish the novice not to focus on or speculate too much upon what lies above in the cosmos. It really does not matter what or who lies “up there,” whether it is “Ashtar,” “Kryon,” or the “Pleaidians,” or any other beings flitting around in their merkabah vehicles; what really matters is what lies within you. Pay attention to that, to the task at hand. Improve your character, your spirituality, your evolutionary status, and your awareness. Unfold unconditional love and compassion. Beware of self-complacency and arrogance, thinking that you know everything, or more than others.

The first step of spiritual unfoldment is the purification of the lower aspects of the microcosm of all psychical and physical toxins, negative energies, psychological complexes and fixations, karmic effects, record, and memory; and the transcendence of the false ego. Not only should these unwanted energies be discarded or transmuted, the spiritual aspirant should also be vigilant that they no longer be generated by the mind and emotions or attracted into the microcosmic force-field by establishing a point of attraction through negative thinking and feeling. Conversely, the aspirant should strive to express the divine qualities of the Spirit, such as compassion, tolerance, affection, beauty, order, generosity, selflessness, etc. In Patanjali’s Yogic philosophy these two steps are called Yama and Niyama. They comprise the dos and the don’ts in religious moral teachings.

According to Patanjali’s metaphysical system of development, breathing and physical exercises should next be conducted to maintain healthy and vital bodies. These are called Pranayama and Asana, respectively. Pranayama actually means the control of the life-force within the physical/etheric body, and not to the control of the breath as some occultists would have us believe. Asana means “body-position.” In Hatha yoga we are taught various asanas to help maintain a supple, healthy, vital body. Although beneficial to a certain degree, in our metaphysical system of development we do not stress Hatha yoga too much for this form of yoga actually belongs to the Lemurian Age (the Third Race) where physical cultivation was the basis of spiritual unfoldment. In the days of Atlantis (the Fourth Race), it was Bhakti yoga that was of certain importance, for it helped cultivated the emotional nature. In our present Aryan Age (the Fifth Race), Raja yoga is indispensable for it aids in the development of our mental nature. Metaphysical development should therefore, be concentrated more upon the mental/spiritual plane for it is the most appropriate for our present Soul-Race. Below is a tabulation and clarification of the above information:

1) The First Race — Polarian – No yogas, involutionary race.
2) The Second Race – Hyperborean – No yogas, involutionary race.
3) The Third Race – Lemurian – Hatha yoga, related to the physical/etheric principle.
4) The Fourth Race – Atlantean – Bhakti yoga, related to the emotional/astral principle.
5) The Fifth Race – Aryan – Raja yoga, related to the mental principle.
6) The Sixth Race – Unknown – Yoga unknown, related to the Buddhic principle.
7) The Seventh Race – Unknown – Yoga unknown, related to the Atmic principle.

But to return from our digression:
Following Pranayama and Asana is Pratyahara, or the withdrawing of the senses from external stimuli. This act of withdrawing the senses results in Dharana, a deep concentration upon some inner point within the consciousness. Deep and intense concentration of a lengthy period establishes the state of Dhyana, or meditation. The culmination of the Dhyana-state is Samadhi, or a higher form of consciousness where one experiences the state of bliss and peace. There are various consciousness levels in Samadhi; for simplicity sake we may designate them as “Christ Consciousness” and “Cosmic Consciousness.” The former is related to the Soul-Consciousness of the Higher Self, or the threefold aspects of the Soul–the Higher Mental, Buddhi, and Atma. The latter on the other hand, is related to the Spirit-Consciousness of the Monad, the Divine Spark within the microcosm. The eight steps of the above are often called the “Eight-limbs of Patanjali.”

In metaphysical development we strive to attain ever higher states of consciousness or awareness. In mystical teachings this is often illustrated as a climb towards a mountain peak and we are often advised by mystics to climb the highest mountain. In Holy Scriptures, when the tale is told of mystics “going up” to the mountains to pray and meditate actually refers to an inner ascent in the consciousness and not to an actual physical journey.
In the early stages of metaphysical development it is advisable for the neophyte to introspect and reflect upon the various elements forming his present desires, motivations, ideals, attitudes, beliefs, and feelings–all of the psychological stuff forming his world-view, his belief-framework, his religious-view, and his understanding of life as a whole, as well as its purport. There is much that we take for granted, much that we assume to be true because humanity as a whole or certain groups of humanity have believed in them for centuries. We have been taught many things as “truths” by our elders, our religious leaders, and pedagogues and we accept them at face value without any meaningful effort in reflecting whether they are of any real substance whatsoever. This the neophyte has to rectify first and foremost in his consciousness. The beginner in metaphysical development has to know why he is on the physical plane and for what Cosmic purpose. He has to discover the meta-philosophical truths concerning life and death, and the real reason why he embarks upon metaphysical study. In short, the neophyte has to awaken himself from his ignorance at the first Cosmic level. Until he realizes that in his present condition he knows nothing, the neophyte has not yet arrived at the state where he may acquire true knowledge.

Metaphysical development entails getting rid of the demons of the mind, the idols that drains one’s energies. Idols are not simply statues made of wood and stone; they may be anything at all. Idols at our present stage of soul-unfoldment are glamours and illusions of the psyche. We may define idols do be anything that distracts the soul from carrying-out its evolutionary obligations. Thus, television or the obsession of psychic powers may be considered as idols, and irresponsible Gurus teaching psychicism sans spiritual unfoldment as fabricators of idols. This in fact is one of the avenues of dis-service (dark services) offered by the Fallen Angels. In Islamic tradition Harut and Marut were the two Fallen Angels that taught humanity psychicism/occultism irresponsibly. Low-calibre paranormals and metaphysicians perpetrate this shameful tradition.

Nowadays, people who are interested in psychicism are so eager to unfold paranormal powers. It should be realized that this is not a spiritual goal, because sometime and somewhere along the spiritual path psychic powers would have to be renounced as they simply blind our inner eyes to the spiritual state of Light-Consciousness, symbolized by the saviour-gods in the world mythologies. Psychicism prolongs our needless stay in the lower dimensions. Psychic powers may corrupt the human soul.

Getting rid of or destroying idols is not an easy task. In order to do this we need the help of the Christ-Krishna force, or the light of Muhammad. Invoke their power into your lives; pay more attention to their presence until the intrusion of the demonic idols lose their power and hold over you. In the end you will truly become a holy one, unattached and untainted by anything of this world–”to be in this world but not of it.”
