It is a beautiful 6 day program that teaches you how to handle your own emotions in response to what life throws at you. See, we learn how to read, write, talk, similarly we learn from our teachers, maths, physics, chemistry...we learn about our body, but no system teaches you how to manage your own mind and your own thoughts. This course allows you to go deep within yourself and find out for yourself who you really are. It is a fun course do it!

Yes, and its happened without my asking for it several times--the sensation of having left my body, observing myself and surroundings from a different perspective (like from above, or to the side) and then when my conscious mind took over with a thought like "Wait, this can't be happening" I'd be abruptly brought back with a jolt.\n \nIn meditation its occurred several times, especially if you've constructed it in such a way that you're open to it. One particular intense time was during a specialized meditation I've done only once, "Calling Back the Soul"--when you send your astral body to collect/invite back all the pieces and remnants of your soul that may still be "stuck" in emotionally charged locales. That was a very powerful and intense experience--I was travelling to a lot of places--but I did feel more complete afterwards.\n\nI also met a Medical Intuitive/Lakota Elder who has the gift (burden? privilege?) of doing it as part of her healing work. She was asked to find out if someone's brother had survived the tsunami in Thailand, so she projected herself in search of him and not only "found" him alive, but was able to accurately describe his surroundings at the time of her journey. She relayed it to the sister, and the very next day the sister received confirmation that he was alive and...you guessed it....in the location that the medical intuitive had described.\n\nSo its not just for personal experience, it is a gift that can be cultivated to help others as well.\n\nnamaste.

I've heard of this, but don't know of 1st-hand examples.\n\nthe best part? you get to explore spirituality on your own terms, yet within a solidly self-responsible framework. It's quite beautiful and liberating.

It is specifically temporal lobe epilepsy which has been related to "religious" experiences.  If you want to learn more, try Googling on that exact phrase, + / or on the name Ramachandran, as he continues to do research on "the God Spot".\n\nThey have put praying Franciscan nuns and meditating Buddhist monks into brain scanners, and saw the "God Spot" light up.\n\nSimilar brain effects occur during orgasm (but less intense, apparently).  This has interesting implications for anyone who is interested in Tantra; this is not just about sex, but about learning to manipulate one's own brain states.  OK... apparently, the traditional training uses sex, in early stages especially, but an adept can get past needing such props.  (or so I read!)\n\nThe westernised / Christianised version was called Carezza, if you are interested.

We all are interconnected with each other at energy plane depending on level of refinement of vibrational patterns...starting from rough to simple  to fine...subtle..........pure....and blissful.we feel and meet people according to the level of our vibrational patterns...past associations and creativity.The purpose of our journey is to refine the level of vibrational energy patterns reaching to the level of blissful existence which ultimately unites us back to the divine cosmic energy...our divine source.Any association(present,past,karmic) which help in  this creative journey is what our heart keeps looking for.\n\nConnectivity with innerself is key to self realisation.Feeling of love and oneness is the sacred thread  between peace and harmony.Mental independence from material world ,unbounded and unconditional  love are essential for  jouney to eternity.\n\nThe language and dynamics of intutive life(blissful vibrational patterns) is totally different  and helps in overcoming the barriers attached with mental dependence and life can be lived simlpy as eternal journey with no artificial barriers.\n\nonce you have overcome the barrier of mental dependence ,the life is an eternal journey,a musical melody,a love song,eternal union with innerself and cosmic divine self.\n\nlet us meditate together to be on this intutive journey forever.\n\nin divine union\nlove,peace,harmony

Adi Shankara, widely considered one of the most important figures of Indian intellectual history, begins his Gurustotram or Verses to the Guru with the following Sanskrit Sloka, that is a widely sung Bhajan: \n\nGuru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru Devo Maheshwara \nGuru Sakshath Parambrahma Tasmai Shri Gurave Namaha \n\nThis means: Guru is creator Brahma; Guru is preserver Vishnu; Guru is also the destroyer Siva and he is the source of the Absolute. I offer all my salutations to the Guru. \n\nYou will find the original verse in Devanagari script here:\nwww.chinmaya-chicago.org/BV/Gurustotram.pdf \n\nNamaste.\n\ncc

This book is a must for every aspiring Truth seeker irrespective of his religion.\n\nThis book has given insight milllions of people around the globe.  Yogananda has so bearutifully explained the complex Yoga system through his biography.\n\nI liked the chapter "Law of Miracles" and "Resurrection of guru.."  it has given awsome account of astral planes and an insight into what happens after death

A worthy proposal !\nIt has been incorporated by some of the most respected Christian innovators of the 20th century.\n\n1) Henry LeSault, A Catholic Priest who also became a Sannyasin\n2) John Main\n3) Monchanin\n\nAre some of the exemples of what you describe.\n\nHenri LeSault has the richest Hindu Christic experience. His Christian roots and the connection with Christ has been totally enriched by the depth of Hinduism and the Advaita Vedanta tradition.
