AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

But as I said I am really trying to study the Soul👼. And this author Michael Newton claims to take his patients thru their death and then beyond in “ spirit world “ and asks them what their souls are doing?

The reason I even went beyond the first chapter is that the first patient described the death and the soul escaping from top of the head, and saying (the soul talking ) how free he is feeling.I won’t describe everything but the whole conversation is exactly what we ( Hindus, Integral Study students ) have read or thoughts (dreamed ). More and more I had impression that the author had studied Hindu scriptures, tho he has not given any credit to them or has even mentioned them. He has given details of some 29 cases, from beginner souls thru advanced souls. He has given details thru the souls what they are seeing or experiencing. The souls describe how there are layers in spiritual world, how elders one soul called them Sadhus, how they are topmost. As for author asking them about ‘God’ they, most of them said there is no ‘God’ as such it’s just intensely accumulated energy, and that they don’t know much about it or reach it. What I want to know is is it even possible? The author says he takes patients deeper during hypnosis using Beta waves. Can this be done and is it even believable. I have not reached those chapters of Savitri yet, and don’t know what to believe.

It is possible to take a person back in time under hypnosis because all the memories are stored up somewhere in the subconscient as memories. However in the process of bringing them up it gets mixed up with number of things in the subliminal being.  As such the memories in the subconscient are quite disorganized. In PLR personal ways of looking at things, fantasies and beliefs all get mixed up in the consciousness of the person.  Past life memories can be brought out only by coming in contact with one’s soul and that is not an easy task. 

As to the experience of God, it is the cosmic being that the departed souls, after having gone through the vital and mental worlds, come eventually in contact with. Whether one feels the contact as some Energy or Being depends upon the lines along which the soul has been developing in an individual. Energy that is conscious is Conscious Force and Force that is conscious is Being. The Being whom we call God can assume the form to which the mind of the devotee is accustomed to. 

Affectionately,

In one of his letters, Sri Aurobindo says that the mistakes of Thought, Speech, or Action should be kept away and considered something superficial that the Power and Light will deal with and remove. But in ‘The Mother’ book, he specifically says to reject the lower movements. Then, what is the difference between the movement of Aspiration and Rejection? 📖🤔🌷✨

It is always best to have the exact quote from Sri Aurobindo. He is very precise with words. Secondly, he has covered each subject from different angles of vision which when read in totality make a complete whole. 

Lets take what he writes in the first chapter of The Mother. It is a letter written to a disciple. Here he is giving us a complete overview of the working of the Divine Grace in response to the human aspiration. What he emphasises…

There is this Theme of Fate and Destiny that Sri Aurobindo explores throughout his Writings and Poetry, and he has this Aphorism: “God’s laughter is sometimes very coarse and unfit for polite ears; He is not satisfied with being Molière, He must needs also be Aristophanes and Rabelais”. 🗺️🌄🦚😅🙏🏻🌷[…]

Fate is a complex play of forces, both individual and collective. Regional and national or what we may say collective destinies are far more complex than individual. They also follow long curves of Time. Imagine, for example what the Hindus must have gone through the centuries from 1500 till just about a century ago, facing …

Dear Alok da, “When you are conscious of the whole world at the same time, then you can become conscious of the Divine.” Every time I come across this New Year Message of the Mother, I am always puzzled. What does it mean ‘To be Conscious of the Whole World’ and how to become Conscious of the whole World at the same time? 🌍😯🌷🌼

By whole world is not meant all the details of the outer events happening all the time though that too can be known. 

Becoming conscious of the whole world means to enter into the universal consciousness in which it is possible to know all that needs to be known simply by an act of concentration in that direction. This state is called as the….
