Back to the future

Reading up Dr. Weiss, has perhaps been the most pleasurable experience I've had in many lifetimes! I'm embarking upon a journey, like never before, a journey into the past to reason out with the real me and understand, possibly, the purpose behind the raison d'etre!

I don't really bother, if all this has been branded as the fanciful extractions of a mad hatter psychiatrist, but for me, I seem to have found an instant connect, which is irrefutable!

Have you, not once wondered if there were something beyond the realms of proven science that cannot be quantified, yet so overwhelmingly ubiquitous?

The future is born from the past!

Don't you think so? Aren't actions done in the past, definite of consequences to come in the future?

The idea of a past, rather many pasts, may certainly sound radical and gibberish to many, but one cannot refute the wisdom of many cultures, that state with certainty, instances of a higher consciousness, multiple planes and so on, all in such striking commonness!

The ability to prove the existence of a certain phenomenon should not always be regarded as a conclusive measure for deciding its existence in the first place! For instance, the universe being such a hugely extended realm, stretching across billions of light years, makes it certainly possible for life forms far away, never to come in contact with its counterparts on Earth. Would it therefore be wise to conclude, merely as a result of non-established contact, that life does not exist outside of Earth?

Quite similarly, the duration of our lives, I believe is not entirely conclusive to a certain time, place or person, rather it is, I must say, many short windows in time before we embark into timelessness!

I recommend you read the works of Dr. Brian L. Wiess, not with the aim of acquainting yourself with a definitive understanding of the past or the future, but with an open mind that welcomes the knowledge of a certain subject and its deep intricacies, by which one can establish a certain sense of deep connect to oneself and the world around!

On an ending note, I must thank my colleague for having introduced me to a series of masterpieces, which even before conclusion in reading, are enjoyable to me and will continue to be so!

Footnotes:

Dr. Brian L. Weiss - The Website

This post, I'm sure many of you have noticed, has been written in a very characteristic abstractness, one that does not really outline the subject as it ought to. This is intentional, and done so to let the reader's mind not form many perceptions before beginning to read books written by Dr. Weiss.

I will, in the forthcoming post, take you through an elaborate vision, of the future and how important, rather joyous, it is to be a part of it. Stand by!

  1. YES Rak, The future is born from the past!

    present is a stop-gap....and I think we can only live in the present!
    don't worry -- this is another mad hatter whatever here :)

    Reading Wiess....well, i am back to sorting out my cluttered brain...and if I find some space I'll :)

    not kidding Rak -- Once I lost myself, my mind...and reading too much psyche-stuff was identified as one reason!.....really take care while going into depths on mind-body, past-future...micro-macro studies :)

  2. I've read the book you mentioned.. more than anything else.. reading such stuff is always intriguing .. :)
    people may say that the past is irrelevant and only the present matters but everyday around us we find people gloating about a sumptuous past.

    btw I love reading about the supernatural phenomena esp in the gothic literature of the yore.. the darkness is intoxicating.

  3. Rak a response to Aria's

    Aria -- this part strikes me...

    "people may say that the past is irrelevant and only the present matters but everyday around us we find people gloating about a sumptuous past."

    i have thought quite a bit about it too...and the answer I got was--

    after living life in the present, when one sits to write (talk) -- it is all past...

    and its a paradox of mind that it can feel the past more than the present..it takes great 'presence of mind' to feel the present....and so mind often retraces back and relives the past to feel it fully :)

    anyway, just thought of sharing my thoughts :)

  5. Sounds interesting . . .Will check out his works when I get time . . .And yeah it reminds me of this saying that,"Abscence of evidence is not evidence of abscence". I gues it's essentially the same thing that he's trying to elucidate.

  9. This is what they call Karma, right? Like in malayalam "thaan thaan cheyunna karmangalkku thaan thaan anubhavichidanney varoo" !!!

  10. Its one of those issues which one can only believe when one sees them.

    I had seen a series on re-birth on Discovery and how some of them remembered everything about their past life vividly.

    The mankind has come so far from the stone age still there are so many mysteries around the world which are yet to be decipher.

    Quite right you are when you say that "present is a stop-gap....and I think we can only live in the present!"

    You must read the works of Dr. Weiss, for they are very interesting and insightful!

    I will keep in my the note of caution suggested by you, for I know how easy it is to be carried away!

    And with regards to your response to Aria's comments, I fully agree that the past has a very fair share to play in one's life, for it is from the past the a number of things originate and become central hence!

    Cheers

    Well, yes, presently since a lot of this appears fanciful and exaggerated! But I guess, it will remain so for a long time to come!

    And like you said, life and evolution are surrounded with many mysteries!
