Views: 160 - Applying the Scientific Method to the Understanding of the Yoga-Force - by Submitted on Jul 25, 2024 from santosh krinskyHow do we determine whether there is any such thing as a ‘yoga-force’?

Views: 158 - Latent Occult Powers Are Being Recognized and Acknowledged - by Submitted on Aug 22, 2024 from santosh krinskyOur attitude to the development of what many call “psychic powers” is ambivalent, at best.

Views: 153 - Vital and Mental Life Forms Interact With Us in the Material World - by Submitted on Jun 28, 2024 from santosh krinskyWe scour the galaxy for signs of intelligent life elsewhere.

Views: 152 - Receiving and Utilizing the Universal Vital Forces - by Submitted on May 18, 2024 from santosh krinskyIn our fragmented process of understanding, we frequently create an artificial separation that does not exist in reality.
