Views: 220 - The Subtle Energetic Interchange That Accompanies All Interaction in the World - by Submitted on Apr 22, 2024 from santosh krinskyOne of the reasons that spiritual seekers have traditionally been advised to seek solitude and not engage in society is that there is a constant, subliminal interchange that takes place between all human beings.

Views: 218 - Addressing the Fallacy of an Individual Perfection in the Absence of Collective Progress - by Submitted on Aug 15, 2024 from santosh krinskyWe start from the ego-consciousness and we treat ourselves, from that standpoint, as independent, separate and “walled off” from all other beings, interacting with them from our insulated status.

Views: 216 - Empowering Thought Forms Through Linking of Will and Emotion - by Submitted on Sep 13, 2024 from santosh krinskyPerhaps the biggest impediments to the exercise of the occult powers native to the human condition is our lack of willingness to acknowledge these powers for what they are, and our lack of attention and focus on understanding, developing and exercising them.

Views: 208 - How to Develop New Powers of Action - by Submitted on Sep 01, 2024 from santosh krinskyOne of the ways we tend to limit ourselves is to decide, in advance, that we cannot succeed at something, that we don’t have the education, the experience, the skill or the necessary training to accomplish that task.

Views: 208 - Opening the Door to Our Latent Capacities - by Submitted on Aug 30, 2024 from santosh krinskyFor the most part, we live within a framework set for us by our parents, community, society, education and the individual choices we make as a result of these things.

Views: 208 - The Manifestation of the Supermind Level of Consciousness As the Next Evolutionary Phase - by Submitted on Jul 09, 2024 from santosh krinskyEach successive plane of consciousness has a native action in its own domain and then, as it enters the material plane, it has to modify its action to conform to the limitations of the other principles.

Views: 205 - Effectuating the Formations of Imagination Over Time and Circumstance - by Submitted on Sep 25, 2024 from santosh krinskyCreating a detailed imagination is the first step in a future realisation.

Views: 205 - Infinite Grace: Overcoming the Law of Inertia to Effectuate Change - by Submitted on Aug 03, 2024 from santosh krinskyThe law of inertia holds that it takes energy to move something that is stationary, and the more massive the object is, the more energy required to move it.

Views: 204 - Consciousness, Its Powers and the Drive to Discover Our True Self - by Submitted on Aug 20, 2024 from santosh krinskyWhen we try to define consciousness we tend to do it from an individual standpoint, our own state of awareness.
