An understanding of various concepts applied in the relationship between the physical and mental and the implications these theories have on religion.
Philosophy of mind is a branch of philosophy that studies the nature of the mind, mental events, mental functions, mental properties, consciousness and their relationship to the physical body, particularly the brain. The mind–body problem, i.e. the relationship of the mind to the body, is commonly seen as one key issue in philosophy of mind, although there are other issues concerning the nature of the mind that do not involve its relation to the physical body, such as how consciousness is possible and the nature of particular mental states
This document discusses how Maharishi Vedic Psychology addresses limitations of 20th century psychology by providing knowledge and experience of transcendental consciousness. It describes transcendental consciousness as the cosmic psyche, an unrestricted field of intelligence at the basis of human and natural functioning. Practices like Transcendental Meditation allow one to experience this cosmic psyche and higher states of consciousness. This resolves fundamental questions about the self/knower by revealing the ultimate knower is the cosmic psyche, and describes a hierarchy of mind from cosmic psyche to individual levels.
The document discusses spirituality and science. Spirituality is centered around inner values and meanings, and involves practices like meditation and prayer to discover one's essence. Science is the systematic study of the physical world through observation and experiment. While science is based on evidence and empiricism, spirituality is based more on faith and experience. The document concludes that to fully understand life, one must value both spirituality and science as complementary ways of exploring inner and outer realities.
The document discusses several theories of mind, including dualism, functionalism, behaviorism, and various forms of monism. It examines debates around the relationship between mind and body, and whether the mind can be explained physically or requires a non-physical explanation. Different theories propose that the mind is a separate substance from the brain, emerges from the physical properties of the brain, or can be understood functionally in terms of computational processes.
This document discusses several philosophical theories of mind:
1. Behaviourism views mental states as dispositions to behave in certain ways.
2. Identity Theory claims mental states are identical to brain states. Advances in neuroscience support this view.
3. Functionalism defines mental states based on their causal relationships and functions, not the underlying physical implementation. This allows for the possibility of artificial intelligence.
4. Eliminative Materialism argues that talk of mental states should be eliminated and reduced completely to physical descriptions of the brain. It claims beliefs and desires do not truly exist.
Scientific spirituality integrates science and spirituality to address global crises. It views the universe as composed of both material and conscious forces. Ancient Indian spiritual traditions explored consciousness through disciplines like yoga and meditation. Pioneers are now synthesizing the two, seeing consciousness as the next frontier for science. Gurudev Pandit Shriram Sharma founded the movement of scientific spirituality and established institutions like Brahmavarchas Research Institute to scientifically study effects of spiritual practices. A new age of synthesis is emerging where materialism and reductionism are replaced by spirituality and holism with physics leaping into the field of quantum consciousness.
Basic Spiritual Primer 8 (Inward Contemplation of Reality)Pardeep Sehgal
We always think in terms of something. That something is what we call life, or at least an aspect of life. We never see at any time our own mind contemplating its own self. The inward contemplation of Universal Reality is the theme of this Primer.

Postulating a Metatheory - 2009 - Csaba VargaVarga Csaba
1. The document discusses proposing a metatheory that integrates all forms of human knowledge, including science, philosophy, theology, and art.
2. It outlines three phases of integration: basic theories, supra-theories that integrate basic theories, and a unified theoretical system integrating all levels of knowledge.
3. Several possible starting positions are identified for constructing a metatheory, including that meta-reality and meta-consciousness are interrelated or independent, exist internally or externally, or are created by a higher power. The document argues for allowing all possible starting positions in developing metatheory.
I. Radhakrishnan's epistemology involves "whole-person knowing" through the full functioning of human faculties, arriving at knowledge through the "reaction of the whole [individual] to the whole reality."
II. This "all-comprehending" epistemology corresponds to the four elements of the complete human personality in yoga. Developing these domains through compatible yoga practices can strengthen abilities in different ways of knowing.
III. Intuition and experience are legitimate forms of epistemology alongside reason and the senses. A robust philosophy of knowing includes first-person insights from phenomena like mysticism and existentialism.
Philosophy of mind- brief introduction for non philosophersNoelia del Olmo
The document provides an overview of philosophy of mind. It defines philosophy of mind as the study of mental events, functions, consciousness, and the nature of mind. It discusses some of the main topics in philosophy of mind, including the mind-body problem of how the mind relates to the body and brain, and the problem of other minds of how we can know what others are thinking. The document recommends books on philosophy of mind and warns that studying consciousness and mind can change one's life.
The document outlines several schools of philosophy including monism, idealism, occasionalism, subjectivism, and physicalism. Monism asserts there is only one fundamental kind of thing in the universe while idealism holds that only minds and ideas exist. Occasionalism rejects a causal connection between body and mind, believing God mediates all interaction. Subjectivism states that our own mental activity is the only undeniable fact and there is no objective reality. Physicalism is the view that everything is physical and supervenes on the physical.
Human body is the battlefield where this perpetual inner war is going on between the gods representing the spiritual or restraining forces and the demons representing the material bound natural inclinations. The seeker of Truth has to win this war if he has to regain his unity with the Universal Reality.
This document summarizes key differences between Western transpersonal psychology and Vedic yoga psychology. It notes that in the modern world, religion, psychology, spiritual practice and therapy are separated, whereas in the Vedic system, psychology and spirituality are seen as one. The document outlines the historical emergence of transpersonal psychology in the West and some of its limitations. It discusses how the Vedic system, as conveyed in texts like the Bhagavad Gita, teaches practical methods for inner transformation and Self-realization. The document argues that psychology remains incomplete without fully integrating spirituality, and that the split between traditional Western psychology and spirituality cannot be healed while psychology views humans as separate parts rather than identifying with an ultimate source.
Thinking about Thought - Theories of Brain Mind Consciusness - Part 1: Philosophy of Mind & Cognitive Psychology. I keep updating these slides at http://www.scaruffi.com/ucb.html
This document provides an overview of the Buddhist teachings on the Bardo, or intermediate state between death and rebirth. It discusses how the Bardo teachings relate to the Four Noble Truths expounded by the Buddha. It describes the different types of Bardo states, including the birthplace Bardo of this present life. The document encourages practicing Dharma teachings and meditation to prepare for navigating the Bardo states after death.
This document outlines different philosophical theories of idealism and realism. It discusses:
1) Idealism views knowledge as dependent on the mind and prioritizes ideas over the material world. Realism views the material world as primary.
2) There are three types of idealism - subjective, phenomenalistic, and absolute. Subjective idealism holds that ideas depend on individuals. Phenomenalistic idealism says we can only know phenomena, not things-in-themselves. Absolute idealism sees ideas and material as a synthesis.
3) Realism is divided into popular and scientific realism. Popular realism holds primary qualities like shape are objective, while secondary qualities like color are subjective
The document discusses different philosophical views on the relationship between the mind and body known as the mind-body problem. It describes Cartesian dualism, the view proposed by Descartes that the mind and body are two distinct substances that can causally interact. According to Cartesian dualism, the mind is a nonphysical, indivisible soul, while the body is a mechanistic system. Descartes believed the pineal gland was the point of interaction between these two distinct entities. However, the exact nature of their interaction remains mysterious.
The What of Vedanta, is the first of a series of basic lessons in the Philosophy of Narayana Guru. These basic lessons in Vedanta specifically reflect perspectives from the Philosophy of Narayana Guru, as expounded in various literary compositions authored by Narayana Guru during his lifetime (1856-1928).
The structure and content of this series of lessons are principally based on the prescribed text ‘The Philosophy of Narayana Guru’ authored by Guru Muni Narayana Prasad, the presiding guru and head of the Narayana Gurukula Foundation.
This is one of the topics for the All India Students' conference on Science and Spiritual Quest to be held in February 2014.
I was supposed to submit the paper for this which i prepared but got delayed and so its not accepted . i have submitted two papers. One is this which is rejected due to delay. So here I am publishing it .
Here is the link to the theme.
http://www.aissq.org/themes.html
Now the topic I have to submit the paper on was Life - Its origin and purpose. The paper manuscript has to be within 4 pages. The abstract within 200 words. So here is the paper I wanted to submit but rejected due to delay .
Buddhism views the mind as responsible for interpreting existence and determining what exists. The mind is comprised of two aspects: the prevailing consciousness and subtle consciousness. Meditation practices like samatha and vipassana are aimed at transforming the ignorant state of mind into an enlightened one by separating these two consciousnesses and attaining pure awareness through mindfulness. With enlightenment, one gains clear insights into past and future and sees all things as they truly are without delusion, though full liberation can only be achieved upon death when both consciousnesses are absorbed and no mind remains.
Sankhya philosophy believes in two realities - Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (matter). Prakriti is considered the root cause of the universe. It is eternal, the source of all creation, composed of three gunas (qualities), and exists in an unmanifest state. Purusha represents pure consciousness and is multiple in number. It is inactive and free from attributes. The interaction between Purusha and Prakriti leads to the evolution of the universe, with the goal of providing liberation to Purusha.
This document discusses the relationship between Dianetics and diabetes. It argues that Dianetics, which aims to cleanse the mind of harmful images, can potentially cause diabetes if done improperly by depleting a person. It outlines key concepts from Dianetics developed by L. Ron Hubbard and compares them to concepts in Ayurveda. The stomach is identified as playing a key role in both mental health and the development of diabetes. Regular exercise and staying hydrated with electrolytes are presented as the cure for diabetes.
Prāṇa is a vital life force or energy in yoga and Ayurvedic philosophy. It is considered a subtle form of energy circulating through the subtle body that supports bodily functions and facilitates consciousness. The document discusses prāṇa based on ancient Indian scriptures, defining it as a highly intelligent energy that permeates all living beings and governs biological processes in a way that is not fully understood. Prāṇa is said to be absorbed through breathing and to use oxygen as a vehicle within the body, circulating through the nervous system. Yogic practices like prāṇāyāma aim to enhance and purify prāṇa to stimulate the mechanism of kundalini
Is there any difference between philosophy and common senseMahima Zaman
Philosophy uses self-examination to develop theoretical and practical understandings of the universe. Science progresses with support from common sense, which was traditionally viewed as an internal sense connecting the five external senses. Everyday struggles inspire further study, data analysis, and answers to community dilemmas through both philosophy and science.
Vajrayana Buddhism originated in India between the 3rd and 7th centuries CE. It arose from tendencies already present in early Buddhism, including ritual practices, symbolism, and making enlightenment accessible to laypeople. Nagarjuna and Asanga are considered the founding fathers of Vajrayana, transmitting teachings through extraordinary means, as depicted in their biographies. The 84 Mahasiddhas helped disseminate Vajrayana teachings throughout India, exemplifying new religious personalities like kings, ascetics, and laypeople attaining enlightenment. Vajrayana used ritual, symbolism, and allegory to teach the transcendence of duality and attainment of non-dual realization.

The document discusses several key topics in philosophy including ethics, moral philosophy, and the nature of moral judgements. It can be summarized as follows:
1. Ethics (or moral philosophy) is the branch of philosophy concerned with defining right and wrong conduct. It examines moral principles and rules that guide people's decisions about what is right or wrong.
2. Moral philosophy refers to the specific principles or rules that people use to make judgements about the morality of actions.
3. Moral judgements evaluate actions as right or wrong by comparing them to a moral standard. They are normative and involve applying standards to actions, rather than just describing facts.

Man can be understood from different philosophical perspectives. Some views see man as dualistic, composed of both body and spirit. Others see man as monistic, consisting of either just the spiritual or just the physical. Christianity typically views man as tripartite - with body, soul, and spirit. As a person, man is a rational being with free will and dignity. Philosophically examining the nature and composition of man can provide insights into human existence.
The document discusses the philosophy of man. It begins by defining philosophy as a search for meaning and a quest to understand reality. It then discusses different views on the composition of man, including:
1) Dualism, which views man as composed of body and spirit. This includes both radical dualism, seeing spirit as superior to body, and moderate dualism emphasizing their unity.
2) Monism, which views man as a single unified being rather than dual in nature.
3) Materialism, which sees man as solely physical and reduces the mind to the operations of the body.
The document explores these perspectives on the fundamental nature and components of human beings.
This document provides an introduction to the philosophy of man. It defines philosophy as the study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, and language through human reason. Philosophy involves thinking about and asking questions about the world, universe, and society. The document then discusses some notable ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and their contributions. It also explains the difference between holistic and partial thinking perspectives. Holistic thinking considers large-scale patterns while partial thinking focuses on specific aspects. The document emphasizes that philosophy utilizes holistic thinking to make sense of problems related to the human experience.
Philosophy is important for several reasons. It expands our understanding of the world and freedom of thought. It also raises public awareness and helps form engaged citizens. Philosophy can increase sensitivity to moral values and stimulate standing up for justice. Studying philosophy provides self-knowledge, foresight, and direction in life. Philosophical reflection considers situations from different perspectives by asking deeper questions about motivations and implications. This holistic view helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

The document also distinguishes holistic from partial thinking and discusses how philosophy utilizes more of a holistic perspective. It provides examples of how reflection and philosophical thinking can benefit individuals.
Sense of meaning in life is associated with
The feeling that one’s life has purpose and direction.
The perception that a person’s life matters and their experiences make sense.
A meaningful life is predicted by the following:
Positive self-views (e.g., high self-esteem and self-confidence).
Seeing oneself as distinct (i.e., different from others in a positive way).
Sense of self-continuity, meaning a connection between the past and present.
Satisfaction of basic psychological needs—The need for
Autonomy,
Relatedness, and
Competence.
A sense of meaning in life is based on:
Perceptions of life as making sense
Feeling that one’s life matters and is worthy
Having a purpose and moving toward valued goals
This document provides an overview of philosophical views and concepts. It begins by defining philosophy as the love of wisdom and discusses its meaning and importance. The document then outlines topics that will be covered, including the pioneers in different fields of learning, philosophical schools of thought, and theories of determining truth. It also lists learning outcomes around understanding phenomena through philosophy and tracing its development. The document then delves into defining philosophy in more depth and outlining its three main branches of metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology. It closes by emphasizing philosophy's importance in clarifying beliefs, stimulating thinking, and developing analytical abilities.

5 key differences between Hard skill and Soft skillsRuchiRathor2

In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.

The Most Important Book You Will Ever Read On Metaphysical
Matters
5. - 5 -
Chapter 1:
Introduction
Synopsis
Metaphysics is known as the branch of philosophy that observes the
exact nature of reality, whether invisible or visible. It includes the
relationships between matter and mind, attribute and substance and
a lot more.
6. - 6 -
The Basics
Metaphysics is a comprehensive scope of philosophy and is not a
science. Even if it is closely related to spirituality, it is not tied to any
religion. Through understanding metaphysics, you can easily answer
any questions you like.
The confusing fad about the term “metaphysics” is that it has been
used to explain multiple subjects. The typical examples of these are
God, Religion, Life after Death, Psychology, Positive Thinking, Laws
of the Universe and alike.
In understanding metaphysics, you have to know that it is very
unique. It tackles all details related to exploring reality. This field
teaches you to be open-minded to possibilities, new ideas and
interpretations.
Metaphysics is a fascinating expedition beyond the physical world.
While studying its principles, you will ponder on the questions that
the logical mind cannot figure out. With this field, you will learn
about yourself and true scenery in the process.
To get more information about metaphysics, this is your chance to
explore more. Simply use this book as your guide.

Chapter 2:
Metaphysics Basics
Synopsis
Metaphysics is considered as the oldest branches of philosophy. This
study is the most essential and fundamental type of all branches.
Unlike other philosophies, it explains the vital relationship that takes
place between the person’s metaphysical view and his/her manner of
interpreting the universe and the world.
According to metaphysicians, this field has answered a very simple
yet deep question--what is?” This question includes everything that is
in the world, from the creature nature, the appearance of the outer
world and the existence of reality. All philosophical and scientific
schools are based in different metaphysical views. The diversities in
metaphysical views enable the uniqueness and distinctions of every
school of thought in sciences and philosophy.
8. - 8 -
A Closer Look
The Origin of the Word
The word “metaphysics” comes from the Greek terms, “meta” and
“physika”. Once it is combined, it translates as “beyond nature”. Most
individuals think it was Aristotle who first invented the word
metaphysics.
However, it was Andronicus of Rhodes who claimed to have used the
word in describing the body of work Aristotle formed after
concentrating on physics. Through this, “meta” referred to the
immense philosopher’s work which started “after” physics.
Currently, metaphysics have taken on an innovative meaning. This
field may be classified as a subject. As compared to physics,
metaphysics explains things which go further than scientists.
Therefore, third eye and paranormal activities came under the
introduction of metaphysics.
Metaphysics is a very crucial area. Believe it or not, every individual
possesses a certain metaphysical system even if they have never
studied the discipline. Say for instance, the nature of survival is one of
the most fundamental concepts in metaphysics. People who believe
that the world around them is real and has a physical subsistence
possess a metaphysical vision.
9. - 9 -
Another essential area of metaphysics is the law governing the
universe and the world. Among the different laws, the law of causality
is considered as the most significant. It defines each action as a result
of an earlier action. This law defines metaphysics and it leads to two
distinct perceptions of the world. The predictable causation can either
lead to a primary cause or endless causation. Those people who
believe that there is a primary cause trust in the reality of God.
However, those individuals who believe in the chances of endless
causation possess an anarchic or a chaotic view of the world’s
existence.
Furthermore, metaphysics is not limited to these areas of study. With
comprehensive studies, it is quite complex for anyone to offer a
detailed definition of metaphysics. The reason behind this is that this
area encompasses all the nature of metaphysics. Regardless of this,
one thing is certain – all individuals have a metaphysical perception
that enables them to view the universe in a definite manner.
Branches of Metaphysics
There are three branches of metaphysics. These branches include
ontology, theology and universal science. Ontology is the main branch
of philosophy. It deals with the study of the nature of reality. The
theology, on the other hand, is the study of God. It answers of God
really exists or not. Among the different types, universal science is the
hardest type. It involves the search for the principle such as the origin
of fundamental laws, universe, logic and many more.
10. - 10 -
Why Do You Need to Understand Metaphysics?
The application of any metaphysical principles helps the acceleration
of one’s evolution. Through understanding this field, you can easily
answer the different questions that come into your mind. You will
also beable to distinguish reality from fantasy.
The concept of metaphysics is very comprehensive. The more aspects
you learn, the more you understand this field. Metaphysics has an
inspirational value. It covers both the spiritual and physical aspects of
man. It begins where the conventional psychology leaves off and goes
dogmatic religion.
The information about metaphysical can help you in many ways. It
can teach you the existence of numerous cosmic laws that operate in
the universe. It will also help you understand the different miracles in
the environment and many more.
What is Metaphysician?
Metaphysicians are people who seek to understand the essence of
reality. These individuals desire to know why things exist and the
reasons why they exist. With these professionals, people are able to
understand the real concept of the metaphysician. Their main task is
to keep on searching for the truth behind every action.

Chapter 3:
Using Meditation
Synopsis
Meditation can be done in multiple ways. It can occur as chanting,
imagery or as a prayer. These schemes are all valid to improve your
awareness of a higher flat of existence.
Meditation calms the mind and allows the freedom to see other
reality levels. Some meditation types have no further uses other than
to tranquilize the mind. This is considered as a very therapeutic
solution. To obtain this, there are several strategies you can use.
Prayer is intended to have relationship with the Divine. Visualization
also develops the capabilities of the mind to attain outward
manifestations of what the person is imagining. Mantra meditations
insert a term which activates a reflective state. Each type of
meditation procedure involves a metaphysical use and purpose.
12. - 12 -
The Metaphysical Use of Meditation
Calming the mind is significant in metaphysical work. In fact, it is
considered as the first step. In this meditation process, the idea is to
concentrate on your thoughts. You must always be free from any
distractions and negative thoughts. Visualization in meditation, on
the other hand, is a vital element in metaphysical healing. To get what
you desire, a mental representation of your achievement must be
present in your mind. However, if you are confused or distracted, it
would be quite difficult to keep this representation. In some cases,
other practices may persuade you to use a religious image as a visual
icon. Whatever you use, these two methods are effective for
meditation.
Prayer is a similar word of metaphysical treatment, even if it is
performed in a different way. Unity with a Higher Power offers a
metaphysical “juice” in attaining superficial manifestation of your
ultimate goal. Inspiring one’s spirit is also a significant aspect of
metaphysical treatment and meditation. The most effective solution
includes the idea that in the method of receiving one’s desire, every
person involved also gets benefits.
Chakra Meditation for Healing Mind, Soul and Body
Chakra meditation is the fundamental key to mental clarity,
emotional stability and physical health. Why? It is because the human
chakras work as conductors, sorting out energy from the earth and
heaven to unify. These chakras are energy vortexes that stimulate
13. - 13 -
multiple endocrine organs in the body. They are depicted as a funnel
with a tiny tube inside that funnel. Chakras are doors which acquire
life energy to flow throughout the human aura. Their main purpose is
to vitalize the physical body and to promote self-conscious
awakening. They are also connected with mental, emotional and
physical faculties.
The aura is considered as the 8th chakra. The human’s first chakra
extends outside the body. It can be found between the thighs and
halfway of the physical body and knees. The 7th chakra, on the other
hand, is located on the top of the head. Other chakras are organized
in sequence along the neck, spine and skull. Even if the chakras are
not seen with the naked eye, they can be recognized by professional
subtle-energy workers.
Why Chakra Meditation?
Most people prefer to look for a reputable and professional individual
who is trained in subtle-energy. With his/her assistance, they learn
how their body operates on a metaphysical level. These metaphysical
energy workers can inform you which chakras are in a poor state and
overworked. They offer help through giving tips on how to alleviate
that burden.
Say for instance, if the chakras are performing at a poor level,
remaining chakras will be forced to get the slack. These non-
malfunctioning chakras can “blowout” any healthy chakras. If your
hip or back goes out of alignment, you need to visit a chiropractor for
14. - 14 -
immediate remedies. Similarly, a metaphysical energy specialist can
help you in adjusting misaligned chakras.
Benefits of Metaphysical Meditation
Metaphysical meditation has multiple benefits. Regardless of the type
of meditation, each session leaves you feeling renewed and refreshed
with a better ability to focus and a clearer mind. If you don’t know the
different meditative benefits, here they are:
Offers General Well-being and Improvement of the Body – When you
meditate, you are entering a condition of concentration that develops
nutrient and blood flow. It also boosts your strength and health.
Provides Improved Concentration – This focus is applicable to both
physical and mental matters. Those people who keep on meditating
also have a healthy nervous system.
Lowers Your Oxygen Consumption – Meditation reduces and deepens
your breathing. It also reduces your heart rate and blood pressure
while developing the efficiency and strength of blood flow.
Free from Heart Attacks – If you keep on meditating, you will never
experience the different symptoms of heart failure. Meditation also
increases the serotonin production of your body which in turn helps
in boosting your behavior and mood patterns.
15. - 15 -
Helps in Treating Major Operations – Meditation improves your
immune system and increases the number of valuable “killer cells”. It
also helps in combating pathogens and cancerous cells.
Reduces Anxiety and Muscle Tension – This healing process helps in
developing relaxation levels. It also helps eliminate headaches and
continuous body aches.
As you will notice, these different benefits are perfect for relaxing
both the mind and body. Whatever types of metaphysical meditation
you use, expect that you will get its positive results.

Chapter 4:
Remote Viewing
Synopsis
Remote viewing is the ability to recognize events that are happening
at a distance from you. Even if remote viewing is often associated
with psychics, it is an inborn ability that most human beings possess.
However, most people have not developed this ability.
17. - 17 -
Concepts of Remote Viewing
Remote viewing has complex concept. It is often based on
spawning applications and scientific protocols. At present, most
intelligence specialists learn remote viewing methods through
workshops and websites.
Some, on the other hand, prefer to learn this ability through
gaining information from specific people or objects known as
structures. Everyone can practice remote viewing. You just need to
maintain an open mind and keep on practicing.
This ability is unique, as it covers the intuiting or inter-
dimensional experience of a certain place, person, energy, idea,
emotion, abstraction, dimension, vortex, event, emotion and
activity selected by the viewer or other person involved.
Steps on How to Target Remote Viewing Structures
Learning how to perform remote viewing is not too difficult.
However, it requires an accurate process and strategy for effective
results. The following are the step-by-step procedures on how to
perform remote viewing:
Step 1: Look for Quiet Place – Similar with other psychic abilities,
remote viewing requires a quiet place. With a peaceful
environment, you are more open to subtle perceptions of your
intuitive mind. To look for quiet place, make sure that you are
18. - 18 -
completely alone. Remote viewing requires deep focus. Therefore,
it is essential to pick a position that makes you feel relaxed and
comfortable. Depending on your choice, you can lie down or sit on
the floor.
Step 2: Relax Your Body – While performing remote viewing, take
a deep breath. Continue this process in a slow rhythmic process.
Always feel the air coming into your body.
Visualize that the air you breathe is refreshing your body. You also
need to imagine that the air is cleansing your whole body and
anxiety is leaving you with deep relaxation. Follow this step for at
least ten minutes.
Step 3: Empty Your Mind – Since your body is relaxing, you have
to push all your doubts and problems away. Also, you need to
concentrate on what you are doing. Once the thoughts still come
in, don’t be annoyed. Just focus and continue to clear your
conscious mind.
Step 4: Pick a Structure that You Prefer to View – Simply think
about the structure you wish to see. The structure can be a person,
thing or a place.
While thinking about the structure, never allow your conscious
mind to fill in any information. Let your subconscious mind
perform all the tasks. While focusing on the structure, certain
19. - 19 -
feelings and thoughts will increase in your subconscious mind. You
also need to pay attention to details such as taste, smell, shape, size
and color.
Step 5: Jot Down Your Observations – After collecting details
about the structure, open your eyes and get your notebook. You
have to record everything you feel, see and thinks.
If you can, it is best to sketch the structural parts. The main
concept is to use the information that you receive to search real
details about the structure. Once you are done, check your
accuracy. Just visit the structure to see if you are correct.
Upon following these procedures for remote viewing, it would be
easy for you to master this ability. Take note that the more you
practice, the more precise your remote viewing will be.

Creating Sacred Spaces
Synopsis
Creating your own sacred space restores your peace of mind. It also
gives you a chance to reconnect with your sense of self and get your
power back. Exploration of the sanctuary is designed to make a bond
with the Divine as your soul. Spirituality is more than an emotional
and psychological need. It is also an inherent biological need, as your
spirit, energy and personal power are united.
21. - 21 -
Creating a Sacred Space – How to Do it?
Making a room where you can reflect is not too easy. However, if you
know the right steps and procedures, you will find it simple. Below
are five ways on how to create a sacred space:
Convert a guest room or attic or just make a window seat in your
living area for self-nourishment. A space that you consider “sacred”
sets the tone for your ultimate purpose.
Hang a billowy curtain, screen and beads to emphasize the
significance of the environment as a place of privacy. This space can
be used to get inner guidance and knowledge. You can also draw,
write, paint or listen to birds singing outside the window.
To make the mood for prayer, meditation or contemplation, place
pillows on the floor. You also need to purchase a comfy chair that
supports your back.
Arrange an altar with spiritual objects to carry the energy of
spirituality. In making an altar, all you need is a small table with a
specific fabric.
Insightful book or soft music will also give you inspiration. You can
use this to make you feel at ease and increase your spiritual energy.
What Items to Place in a Sanctuary
22. - 22 -
There are several things you can place in a sacred place. Depending
on your choice, you can use scented candles. When burning, they can
help you concentration on meditation.
Scented candles also add a touch of aroma to your environment.
Another item that is best for sacred place is the plants. These plants
can be used to add a sweet fragrance and color to your sanctuary.
Adding desktop water also adds to your place of sacredness. It
provides the calming sounds of water and removes other noises in the
surrounding. Live fish and sounds of water also offer healing energy
for your sacred space.
Types and Characteristics of Sacred Spaces
There are three distinct types of sacred spaces, and these include a
room, a location for a specific item and a location for an interruption-
free block of time. They share the same characteristics such as being
clutter-free, clean, quiet, and peaceful.
These sacred spaces are all easy to maintain. Therefore, it would be
easy for you to decide which type of space will meet your needs and
preferences.
Importance of a Sacred Space
If you want to relieve your stress and achieve peace of mind, you have
to create your own sacred space. Imagine a messy room with noisy
23. - 23 -
kids. If you have this kind of room, do you think you can refresh your
mind?
To have a tranquil environment, you have to ensure that no one will
disturb you. While inside your room, you can experience rest and
relaxation, and with a sacred space, you can do anything you want
without any distractions.
To create the best sacred space, some people prefer to ask assistance
from experts such as an interior decorator. Take note that you don’t
need to spend a high amount of money just to transform your room
into a sacred one. By using your creativity, you can do it all alone
within a short period of time.

Chapter 7:
Learn Remote Influencing
Synopsis
Remote influencing is always the top concern in all magic
communities and psychics. This practice began several years ago. Old
traditions of voodoo, shamans and huna have different techniques of
remote influences. In the past, they were often used to curse, to heal
and to wage war.
28. - 28 -
Remote Influencing Defined
Remote influencing is a mind technique that helps in boosting ESP or
extrasensory perception skills. This is achieved through the use of the
subconscious mind. It also includes the ability to affect other people’s
decisions from a distance, through suggesting some actions to be
taken by an individual receiving the suggestion.
Remote influencing is a vital tool that permits you to become a master
of your own future. This ability comes naturally to any person who
will see and hear. Take note that there is no mystery underlying in
this mind technique.
Manifesting Your Desired Results with Remote Influencing
Using remote influencing to manifest your desired results is quite
simple. You need to have your desired goal in a simple affirmation.
Your indication for this goal should be prepared before beginning.
At first, you have to go into a comfortable alpha to theta mind state. A
quick and easy way to do this is through focusing on breathing from
your abdominal part two to three times. Then, imagine a white cloud
of light energy in front of your face. This signifies the intelligent
matrix.
You also need to visualize a symbol of having this condition in your
life. Say for instance, you may want a symbol of the dollar for money
29. - 29 -
and scale in balance for health. Then, say “I attract money” or
anything you want.
Afterwards, you have to watch the cloud and change its color. The
color depends on your preferences. Like green for money, orange for
health and pink for love. Always follow this step at least eight minutes
a day.

Chapter 8:
Understanding Reality Correctly
Synopsis
What is real? Are things like houses, trees and cars real? Is God real?
Through understanding reality, you can answer all your questions.
With your knowledge about reality, you can strengthen your beliefs
and resolve inconsistencies in the beliefs of other people.
31. - 31 -
Reality Defined
The term “reality” comes from the Latin word “res”, which means fact
or thing. It also pertains to the actual existence. Ultimate reality, on
the other hand, refers to those things that exist at its deepest. Your
knowledge about reality may be largely incomplete, conscious or
unconscious or highly systematic. It is structured and controls your
life.
Your understanding of reality works as a filter and monitor incoming
sensory signals. It also undergirds what you do with your life, what
you believe in, what you think and feel and much more.
Why Do You Need to Understand Reality?
An accurate understanding of reality is vital to human being. It helps
you reconcile the diverse and conflicting claims of the secular world,
modern science and religious faith. It also integrates multiple
dimensions of your life, faith, thought and systematic framework that
will offer you with everlasting strength.
If you understand reality, you can make better choices because you
are familiar with what is real and not. You can also take away
misconceptions and false beliefs which could lead to pain,
disappointment and anxiety. Your knowledge about reality can also
provide you with a great and deep satisfaction. It will also help you
understand other people even more, thus making you more mature.
32. - 32 -
Chapter 9:
Understand Consciousness
Synopsis
Consciousness is an elusive phenomenon. It is when the ideas about
what is happening around are crystal clear. People can predict the
outcome of the stimuli of the surroundings. They can also sense the
bad and good about your feelings and thoughts.
The study of consciousness is quite complex. It depends on the
integration of multiple interconnected networks in the nervous
system. Healthy individuals pass through these shades of
consciousness both day and night.
Consciousness doesn’t mean that you are lucid of fears. It means that
you can perceive your own fears.
Even if consciousness keeps on expanding through the experiential
method, it has no mass or portion. Therefore, it cannot be defined
through scientific inquiry. Consciousness uses matter as a covering to
create physical reality possible. It dwells in the smallest possible unit
and manifests as an atoms.
33. - 33 -
Do’s and Don’ts for Controlling Your Self-
Conscious
If you do not know how to control your self-consciousness, then you
should gather more facts on how to manage it. For better
understanding, here are some tips you need to consider:
Self-consciousness is natural. It is a means for human beings to
interact and understand others. To manage it, you must first develop
a strong belief and understand yourself.
Meditate and reflect on your value. Identify that you are your
feelings and thoughts. Always know and accept them for what
they are. Nobody can take them away from you, unless you
permit them to do it.
Taking responsibility for your own self. Simply recognize how
you communicate and behave, as it is your responsibility.
Develop your self-consciousness. You can do this through self
inventory, internal stock and image of your success or
achievement. These things are effective while having a
reflection.
Learn to relax and improve an anchored key for that leisure.
Increase the ability to breathe and attach this to your condition.
Then, overlay this condition in your positive self-image.
34. - 34 -
Avoid self-criticism, constant seeking of approval and self-
doubt. Always learn to love yourself for who you are.
Subconscious vs Conscious Mind
Both conscious and subconscious is coined to show the aspects of the
mind. Subconscious gives meaning through the language of images
and symbols.
Conceptual thinking, beliefs, creative ideas and abstract forms of
thinking are the common forms of expressions found in the
subconscious. It also grasps the memory of the life experiences and
follows the generic behavior.
Consciousness, on the other hand, provides expression to your
awareness or waking state. Individuals’ sensory experiences supply
details from the outside world.
35. - 35 -
Wrapping Up
Metaphysical vs Man-Made
Creativity requires that men don't take any man-made fact for
granted. It needs an “unborrowed vision”. It is the ability to question
the man-made facts that others view as an unchanging and eternal-
given. Men are not restricted to judging the man-made. They have
creativity and the ability to reorganize the aspects of reality. They do
this through the use of their imagination.
The power of creativity does not oppose the fact that the
metaphysically given is complete. It is not the power to make or
redefine reality, but to rearrange the current aspects in reality. The
main purpose of this is to achieve their values.
The essential difference exists between the rules of metaphysics and
those which men create to manage themselves. The confusion about
the two come in different types of issues. Here they are:
The belief that the man-made is metaphysical. Its essential distinction
is that the preferences of men are not necessary. Say for instance, any
particular law is chosen. Most people claim that things are the way
they are and nothing can modify them. If they are man-made, it is still
wrong. This error is often an excuse for not moving.
36. - 36 -
The belief that the metaphysical is man-made. This flaw is often made
in the aspect of ethics in which hypothesis shows that a man can act
in such a way that he is allowed to. Say for instance, a man can be
selfless, but this is very destructive. In order to live, that man must
act in his own awareness to continue his life.
With these details, you can easily distinguish the real meaning of
metaphysical, reality, consciousness and other related details.
