……another year has gone by………you are far from achieving your desired goals eventhough you have worked hard at changing your life and have followed your guru(s) advice to tap into the powers of the sub-conscious mind [and the universe]………
What has gone wrong? Is that sub-conscious mind thing a baloney?
No its not! I assure you!
Your sub-conscious mind is powerful! Very powerful indeed. However, what you won’t told is that your “experts” have “re-packaged” the authentic practices – practices that are tightly intertwined with Eastern spiritual practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and other faiths – to make it palatable to the Western mind.
One of the key ingredients which is conspicuously absent from the “re-packaged” sub-conscious mind enhancement techniques is bringing the mind to deep meditative state as this conflicts with some of dominant spiritual practices of the Western world. And those who do adopt some elements of meditation do so at a limited level. So, its like baking a cake without flour!
The same is seen in yoga. Commercialization of Yoga has been reduced it to mere stretching and body-contorting exercises. Little does the public realize that the authentic yoga is a prayer and self-realization science, and the physical movements are only one of the elements of a process to bring oneself in unity with some higher benevolent force.
