Bhaktananda Analysis of the Mind Part II  LR 10/19/82

Psychics (newspapers etc) are not intuitive and usually are just clever guessers. Those who know don’t work that way.

Voices – entities – you stay in the subconscious realm like the psychics and you tune in with them. They are just as ignorant as the psychics. They gain your confidence, then mislead you.

If you dream and want to know the meaning of it – as you waken ask “what is the meaning of it?” but you have to wake up and not go to sleep.

Ask Master to raise your mind’s consciousness if you see faces from the lower astral.

Clairvoyance and clairaudience are higher powers: from the astral. These will help you rise above earthly vibrations, they are good, even though so many people say they are not – these people don’t know.

Regarding predictions from SRF sources regarding depression, war or the founding of lay disciple communities – don’t repeat these. Sometimes we trust words subconsciously.
Master never gave dates for anything that Bhaktananda knows of regarding these things.

Bhaktananda Topic Unknown LDG 1/25 /84

God does not accept the future to be revealed; so we will never really know, in spite of all the fortune tellers etc. Why? Because God wants us to do our best now, to do what is right now. The future will be OK then.

Bhaktananda Concentration Saturday January Class 2/6/99

Hold one thought until you reach superconsciousness. Dupont’s president’s wife said she could move furniture without his knowing.

What is concentration? Master: “freeing the mind for all distractions” and “reducing the activities of the mind to one thought” or “keeping the mind one pointed”.

What interferes with concentration?

Life energy
Breathing
Heart
Sex energy
Mind

It takes determination, you have to work at it. You can’t be wishy washy about things.
All five of these are controlled by Hong Sau.

Use a woolen blanket under your chair or silk, or both. Sit with feet flat, good posture, eyes turned up. Practice the 20/20/20 breathing and the tensing and relaxing.

Superconsciousness  takes over the body, like in hibernation. Do 20 minutes Hong Sau in the morning and 20 in the evening as a start. In the superconsciousness you are always aware of something – a heightened awareness, or else you are asleep.

Then sit a long time in the stillness. Do not think. Gently close the eyes and say into the spiritual eye: “God, God, God”. For a time it helps.

When we learn to meditate we don’t have to come back to this earth plane.

For insomnia – do Hong Sau
For any trouble – do Hong Sau

Leonardo Da Vinci saw visions and wrote them down by concentrating on hot coals for one and one half hours. So he saw future inventions.

Bhaktananda on Diet and Colds 9/18/82

5 meals a day is better than 3; you don’t overload the system and have energy to work. (must ask about this; small meals or mistake in numbers.)

Fasting: “the rule is one day per week or 3 consecutive days per month”

Master on colds: Colds are caused by too much sweets and starches. Fasting for two days on water or non-citrus fruit juice. Don’t continue eating bread and all. Keep the throat warm with a scarf. Yogis do this in India.

“When I get that certain tickle in the throat I will stop all starches, dairy, sweets and at least cut the cheese in half.”
