The Human Aura The human aura is a subtle and magnetic emanation produced by ethereal forces. All bodies have this magnetic field, which radiates from each individual as the rays of sunshine emanate from the sun. The aura, although ignored by most people in their normal states of consciousness, is perceived and clearly recognized by individuals who are in the right conditions of sensibility. #aura #spirituality #energysystem #healing #energywork

What is a perverted intelligence When we encounter a person endowed with a sharp intellect, but is using this gift in an undesirable manner, we use the phrase “he is a person with a perverted intellect”. Such a man, though gifted with good mental equipment, chooses to tread the wrong path. In the realm of philosophy too, this phrase ‘perverted intellect’ is applicable to one who gets entangled in the grip of sense attractions with all their attendant evils. Adi Shankaracharya, in his work ‘Vivekachudamani’ uses the word ‘kumatih’ to denote one of crooked intelligence, who does not make efforts to realise the divinity inherent in himself, but instead moves towards sinful tendencies. He is caught in the jaws of the monster crocodile of delusion, which pulls him down towards the lower attractions and vices of life, ultimately leading to his downfall. Shankara explains this through a beautiful example. The rays of the sun fall on the waters of the earth, causing them to evaporate and form clouds, which finally obscure the sun itself. In man, the inherent divinity, the spark of the divine that inheres in him is like the sun, from which arises the individual sense of ‘I’ or the ‘ego’. This ego swells with pride, vanity and other negative emotions, smothering the underlying divinity. Thus, man fails to see the effulgent divinity within and struts about in pride, arrogance and ignorance. But this does not mean that the effulgence of the inner divinity is diminished by the swollen ego, just as the sun’s brightness is in no way affected by the clouds. The inner soul or ‘Atman’ as it is called is always there as a mute witness to all of man’s deeds, good or bad. This ego sense makes the mind to transform itself selectively in accordance with the external attractions, just like the image in a container of water gets broken up if the water is agitated. If the water is undisturbed, the image too remains still.

In traditional cultures shamanic practitioners take healing journeys into a spirit world (possibly the realm Jung called the collective unconscious) and in this altered state of consciousness interact with beings (archetypes?) whose communications and energies they can express in the material world. Neo-shamanism draws on a range of beliefs and practices, some newly invented, but many inspired by indigenous cultures. The modern shaman’s altered states do not necessarily need mind-altering drugs, depending instead on the use of breathing, fasting, dance, drumming and imagery; or simply deep engagement with nature.

Delving into the sublime realm of extraordinary experiences, we find two profound phenomena: encounters with the spirit world and experiences with divine or subtle energies. The Spirit World These are not merely tales of haunted houses; it's about our connection with the unseen and immaterial entities, like spectral figures, departed loved ones, or spiritual guides. Such encounters provoke introspection about life, death, and the unseen world beyond our ordinary perception. Divine Energies Moving further into the mystical, some claim direct communication with a higher power or an unexpectedly transformative energetic happening. Often interpreted as divine messages or signs, these experiences point to an interconnected universe far beyond our everyday understanding. These extraordinary moments pose intriguing questions about the nature of our existence. Have you ever experienced the uncanny or mystical? #divinejourney #spirituality #energeticconnection

The Cosmic Sun, as the mandala of light and expanded consciousness, and the World Tree, as the great connecting link between the sanctified realms of earth and cosmos, represent classic archetypes of the sacred. The creative and contemplative use of these and other mythic images are employed in both Jungian Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism as vehicles of psycho-spiritual transformation, and we'll explore these highly potent symbols, methodologies, and much more in the next segment of my comparative study of these two fascinating disciplines.

Angel numbers are sequences of numbers believed to carry spiritual significance and messages from the spiritual realm or higher beings, such as angels, guides, or the universe. These numbers are often repeated patterns that people notice daily, appearing in various ways, like on clocks, license plates, phone numbers, or receipts. Each number sequence is thought to have its own unique meaning or message. For example, seeing the number sequence "111" might be interpreted as a sign of new beginnings or manifestation. At the same time, "444" could be associated with guidance and protection. Interpreting angel numbers often involves intuition, personal belief systems, and spiritual or metaphysical practices. Some people use numerology or consult spiritual texts to understand the messages they believe these numbers convey. The meanings attributed to angel numbers can vary between individuals based on their personal experiences and beliefs.
