Just finished the chapter where Yogis brother dies and he heals his sister.
Now I wonder, if wearing stones and armlets really help balancing energies?
What are your take on it?

i really dont wanna jump guns but chrolophyl being the agency for light which indirctly or directly energysis us in the form of food is one heck of a explanation given.
am floored. 
@h2so4 - if we considering our selves to be nothing but energy waiting to happen and made up of small atoms inturn made up of vibrations well amulets and colored snotes am sure have an effct of humans.
but i really would not overindulge on the same for it is quite a controvertial subject... am gradma would swear by the effect of pearl and ruby and silver on people where as a lot of people would think its just foolish.
but i do know for sure if u pick up anything with good intentions its output would be good only if u willing to work hard for it too.
@ Karma Kola - i was trying to understand what is written in the book but comtemplating on the diff plane theory u mentioned on some privious pages.
about parellel universes.

As I see the crux of the book is:
"Have faith in the universal god. Have good feelings and ideas. Seek for the truth with your determination and yeah have faith in GOD"
Though I should say that some of the incidents, ideas are just too baffling to believe
I gotta post a review about the book at my blog

too baffling...
he has actually given enough scientific inputs to support all his ideas...
u'd realise as u go ahead on this book.
plus u can read a book and keep it aside but to really get a mileage from it u will have to read up related stuff too... but that u sdo only when u really int in some thing..
i picked up spacetime, supernova's and black holes from other books...
and i really appriciated a chapter on Giri bala in Auto bio of a Yogi.
u asked about the amulets etc yesterday.. well u have to check out alchemist law which talks about similar things..
u might like this link
http://www.atlantisrising.com/issue11/ar11alchemy.html
basically they say there are five outer senses we humans have ... eyes, ears, noes etc... all these are reading same vibrations in diff ways... Red in VYBGIOR has the highest frequency that means it vibrates the fastest... hense is related to heat.. may be thats how red is also spicy.

I am still to reach that chapter
Yeah true, we gotta read about other scientific stuff that he has said from other places too coz he has given the ideas in a very concise manner. But somehow I find the telepathy etc. too hard to digest - maybe I have not reached that super-consciousness to comprehend it correctly. But I firmly believe his thoughts on Kriya Yoga. I practise Yoga and sometimes meditation myself so I know a little on that subject

Welcome back ishaan
Ok, my ragged bunch of 'thinkers' i have a question i would like answers or opinions too. It might be stupid , it might be excellently profound, but humour me in any case. Here it is...
We have always heard about Death & Doom religious cults right? The Branch Dravidians, Heavens gate, Aum Shinri Kyo, Al-qaeda and many lesser known ones. My question alludes to the leaders of these so called 'enlightened' groups.
They all have these calm, measured ways of talkin. A way of talkin thats easily stilling, comforting and enrapturing.And u automatically think.. ahh an 'aware' person. No wonder people are desperately tryin to kill themselves and other innocents to serve their deranged visions of a better tomorrow.
Q: How do you know what is real? Who is speakin the truth? How can you sift between the 'truly' aware, and the scammers?

I can figure out if a person is really enlightened one or just a show off by the way he speaks. I just have this intuition. On that basis - I find that Sai Saba (not shirdi one) a big charlatan.
And as the Yogi said in the book - everything in this world is nothing but energy. I think the wordsw of the wise men brings out positive energy and you can feel it. My mom says - One negative energy kills 10 positive energy. I think if you are listening to some asshole you mind and soul will notify you about that.
And I just dont believe in those Death & Doom cults. A person who is talking more about death then life is nothing but a chutiya....God has given use life to live not to think about death. Death is just a natural end to the road called Life.
Just my USD 0.02!

Agree on pretty much what u said EXCEPT.... (the above)
Death and doom cults prey upon the notion that there shall be a apocylaptic ending and stuff... Both Islam and Christianity belive in that notion. So it is important in a global sense. You may or may not belive in them, but that doesnt mean they dont exist.
As for Death being the end.. Baba.. u just read a whole lotta stuff that might refute that. (Autobio..) Especially since Hindus and buddhists believe in the whole reincarnation thingy.

To tell you the truth, I really dont know what these death/doom cult teach or preach but the very idea of preachings based on death is sickening. Maybe they have some meaning to their thoughts but I am not that bored to follow them
About reincarnation and death - I guess I need to run and read the Autobio a little more

Just keeping my thts down on the above......... may seem like go green types but just used them as examples .
death is not a gory thing but the truth as the conciousness survives beyond brain death BUT ,............... thinking over and reeling in the (non) fact of doomsday etc. is somewhat being very non ethical towards life and its karma .......... these cult actually want to scare the shit out of people and wanna get some following actually ......... true islam or christanity do not speak about the universal doom to the extent that it is going to happen but just suggests as is suggested in Geeta the balance of nature and good karma and bad karma and that is logical ................. if you see bad karmas as polluting the earth on a progressive scale and than the unnatural ways of humans trying to have their way on this planet ......... we can surely say more calamities on its way ..... sure enough we shall find more solutions to them but in the end all unnatural, so one day (may be thausand yrs. or hundered yrs from now ) the earth may just peuk it all out (sorry to go way far ) but see if you get the point the techings in any religion logically suggests that be fair and dont get carried away with what you achieve and invent . . . look at the consequences ........................ there was a day say 70 yrs backwards and the earths orbit was clean and the ozone layer intact ............ lesser death tolls by hurricanes and stuff but more and more we advanced in the field of science and lost our touch with the spiritual side more we have come to a point where results have become everything ........... today average human has a stress level way beyond acceptable level ............. the quick reliefs are instant yoga and stuff ............................................ So this is what might be indicated by the so called dooms day is what i think .... just my opinion
Now coming to what u asked KC the leaders are right or wrong in their saying and beliefs can only be found if logic worked which is much closer to the truth........................... but many times when those seeking salvation from the day to day confusions on life want to get away with it all without concious thinking do succumb to someones logics and beliefs and get guided to any direction but the real truth cannot be still found unless they used their own but thats next to impossible with all the preoccupations of the mind........................ some leaders may take it to the right direction and some to wrong ................... the only way to decide right or wrong is to think whether its towards creativity / peace or destruction and hatered as the end result
peace

Very legitimate question i might have the answer or might not but before that i need some answers my self too
- Who decided to call or state energy as positive or negative... we devised these terms for what they are today... and who decides how to measure up beauty set parameters...
we who see colors only when they are reflected back at us. we see green for plants absorb all other light frequencies... so we all reflectors who are not powerful enough to reflect always... other than the sun or some distent star that too might be a star that exploded ages back but we see it twinkling today for it is that many light years away.
@ h2so4 - i think u should read Tibetan book of the dead to understand why death as it is plays an important role in the way u live today. If u understand death u understand fear and with out fear only can one live a fulfilling life.
@ Karma Kola - it is written in all the scriptures that after every some time there is evil that tries to come forth and pushes harder if it succeeds that would be the dooms day... Dooms day... World war... how can i be sure Hitler was not the devil himself... there was fire and violence and blah blah thru out… am sure it looked straight out of hells Hall of fame or is it that hell was created by some one who did not like heat and fire so thought that would be its perfect depiction.
scriptures are stories written by homo sapiens about other homo sapiens and most of the times the figures and tales about each other were mare exaggerations like a powerful god (Hercules) having the strength of Hundred men
so another question : do we believe in our scriptures to be absolute... always or are we just picking up all that we understand and leave the rest behind.
last question : are u willing to question everything and start from ground Zero everytime or do u make some assumptions based on some one else’s recollection of assumptions (of what he might have seen)
whats absolute today might be fiction tomorrow… I still do not believe in dragons and nor would I have believed in dinosaurs if I had not seen so many progs on the same on TV… for I still have not seen Dino bone
I think belief pays off… for it makes our lives simpler…

The more I read on this thread the more I come to know that how ignorant I am. I still need to read & study a lot to get those thoughts and questions.
Maybe I should reduce my isratrance posting and coding time and read more books
