Conceptions of God are not just religious matters but a matter of everyday living. We may not call it God but simply the idea of what is the source of all things. This search for a lost reality is interwoven in man’s fabric of life. Yoga explores it in its own unique way. Yet in the process it can and does enrich all other areas of human activity such as science, art, psychology, religion and philosophy.

“Our Centre is neutrally positive, positively neutral — a positive without any negative.” What to make of this, a received flash? Is it an intuitive dawning or an intellectual arrival, at that moment, rising as a hitherto unseen and unrealised dimension and expansion as the received? The query arises, maybe because of many reasons, of which, two are prominent. One being the ‘human’ tendency to be always ‘right’, and another, which makes its presence felt as the yearning to be ever guided by the ‘highest order’, the Will of the Divine, the Centre, yearning for the constant conscious reception and transmission as per the Central Will — more so, when one has even once, however fleetingly, experienced the Guidance…

Modern society has centred itself around the animal side of humanity. It glorifies the beast in us by accepting fear, suspicion and anger as normal as long as they don’t disrupt our ‘normal’ function.

It looks upon man as a social animal modified in appearance but the same in his core, an animal under the skin of man.

This article proposes that war and trauma have multiple side-effects. They directly damage not only soldiers, their ‘victims’ and descendants, but also the wider population indirectly as collateral. People in the general population may energetically ‘pick up’ or spontaneously access the trauma of entities who don’t know they are dead. This may cause deeply uncomfortable visionary memories, depression, or result in further acts of terror. The author provides her personal experiences when memories from beyond influenced her mind and body. She assumed that these traumatic ‘memories’ were normal, though uncomfortable and she did not pathologise them. She discusses unusual, anomalous or extreme experiences and assumes these experiences are a normal part of being human. The author explores the proposition that crisis experiences are caused both by trauma in our present incarnation and they reach us from dimensions beyond. She explores how insights may be transferable to healthcare practice.
