Power of Faith & Mantra
Lobsang Rampa was a prolific, albeit a bit controversial, writer of last century. He has written many books & pamphlets. The following are the excerpts of his popular book "You-forever," which is akin to the recent best seller "Secret":
Faith is a definite thing which can and must be cultivated in much the same way as a habit or a hothouse plant must be cultivated. Faith is not as hardy as a weed, it is indeed more like a hothouse plant. It must be pampered, must be fed, must be looked after. To obtain faith we must repeat, and repeat, and repeat our affirmation of faith so that the knowledge of it is driven into our sub-conscious. This sub-conscious is nine-tenths of us, that is, by far the greater part of us. We often liken it unto a lazy old man who just does not want to be disturbed. The old man is reading his newspapers, perhaps he has his pipe in his mouth and his feet are encased in comfortable slippers. He is really tired of all the racket, all the noise, all the distraction constantly going on around him. Through years of experience he has learned to shield himself from all except the most insistent interruptions and distractions. Like an old man who is partly deaf he doesn't hear when he is called the first time. The second time he is called he doesn't hear because he doesn't want to hear, because he thinks it might be work for him, or some interruption of his lazy leisure. The third time he starts to get irritable because the caller is disturbing his trend of thoughts while he is perhaps more anxious to read the racing results than to do anything which requires effort. Keep on and on repeating your faith and then the "old man" will come to life with a jerk, and when the knowledge is implanted in your sub-conscious then you will have automatic faith. We must make it clear here that faith is not belief; you can say "I believe that tomorrow is Monday," and that means a certain thing. You would not say "I have faith that tomorrow is Monday" because that would mean a completely different thing. Faith is something which usually grows up with us. We become a Christian, or a Buddhist, or a Jew because, usually, our parents were Christians, Buddhists, or Jews. We have faith in our parents — we believe that what our parents believed was correct — and so our "faith" became the same as our parents'. Certain things which cannot definitely be proved while upon the Earth require faith, other things which can be proved can be believed or disbelieved. There is a distinction, and one should become aware of that distinction.
But, first of all, what do you want to believe, what is it that requires your faith? Decide what it is that needs faith, think of it from all angles. Is it faith in a religion, faith in an ability? Think of it from as many angles as you can, and then, making sure that you think of it in a positive way, affirm — state — to yourself that you can do this or that, or that you will do this or that, or that you firmly believe in this or that. You must keep on affirming it. Unless you do so affirm you will never have "faith." Great religions have faithful followers. Those faithful followers are ones who have been to church, or chapel, or synagogue, or temple, and by repeated prayers, not merely on their own behalf but by others also, their sub-conscious has become aware that there are some things which must be "a faith." In the Far East there are such things as mantras. A person will say a certain thing — a mantra — and say it again and again, and repeat it time after time. Possibly the person will not even know what the mantra is about! That does not matter because the founders of the religion who composed the mantra will have arranged it in such a way that the vibrations engendered in repeating the mantra knock into the subconscious the thing desired. Soon, even though the person does not fully understand the mantra, it becomes part of the person's subconscious, and the faith then is purely automatic. In much the same way, if you repeat prayers time after time you begin to believe them. It is all a matter of getting your sub-conscious to understand and to co-operate, and once you have faith then you do not have to bother any more because your sub-conscious will always remind you that you have this faith, and that you can do those certain things.

30 जून 2015 को विश्व भर में मानक के तौर पर मानी जाने वाली लंदन में रखी एटॉमिक घड़ी में 12 बजने से पहले समय एक सेकंड के लिए ठहर गया ! या यूं कहें कि इस घड़ी के अनुसार दिन 24 घंटे की बजाए 24 घंटे 1 सेकंड का हो गया. लंदन में रखी एटॉमिक घड़ी के एक सेकंड के लिए रुकने के महत्व को इस तथ्य से समझा जा सकता है कि इस अतिसंवेदनशील घड़ी में 1,400,000 वर्षों में 1 सेकंड का अंतर आता है. इसी घड़ी के समय के आधार पर, जिसे यूटीसी या कॉरडिनेटेड यूनिवर्सल टाइम कहा जाता है, विश्वभर की घड़ियों का समय निर्धारित होता है. वैज्ञानिक भाषा में कहें तो 30 जून को धरती के सेकंड में 1 लीप सेकंड या एक अतिरिक्त सेकंड जुड़ गया. साधारणत: एटॉमिक क्लॉक में 23:59:59 के बाद 00:00:00 बजता है, मगर उस दिन 00:00:00 बजने से पहले 23:59:60 बजा यानी दिन का आखिरी मिनट 60 की बजाए 61 सेकंड का हुआ. ऐसा विश्वभर की घड़ियों को धरती के परिक्रमा के अनुरूप बनाए रखने के लिए किया गया . भारत में १ जुलाई २०१५ को ५.५९.५९ के बाद ५.५९.६० बजे ! दरअसल हमारी घड़ियों का समय धरती द्वारा अपनी धुरी पर चक्कर लगाने के समय और सूर्य के चारों ओर परिक्रमा करने में लगने वाले समय के आधार पर निर्धारित होता है. मानक के अनुसार हम आमतौर पर मानते हैं कि एक दिन में 86,400 सेकंड होते हैं लेकिन धरती द्वारा अपनी धुरी पर चक्कर लगाने में 86,400.002 सेकंड लगते हैं. ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि धरती, चांद और सूर्य के बीच मौजूद गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल के कारण धरती कि गति धीरे-धीरे मंद होते जा रही है. वैज्ञानिकों के अनुसार सन 1820 से औसत सौर दिन, मानक दिन के समय से 2 मिली सेकंड लंबा रहता आ रहा है. सेकंड का 2 हजारवां हिस्सा वैसे तो पलक झपकने भर के समय से भी कम होता है और यह मुश्किल से मापा जा सकता है. लेकिन हर रोज 2 मिली सेकंड जुड़ते-जुड़ते साल भर में इतना अधिक समय हो जाता है कि आज के आधुनिक विश्व में उसे नजरअंदाज नहीं किया जा सकता. 2012 के बाद यह पहला अवसर होगा जब लीप सेकंड जोड़ा गया . आमतौर पर लीप सेकंड 30 जून या 31 दिसंबर को जोड़ा जाता है. सन 1972 से लीप सेकंड जोड़ने का सिलसिला चलता आ रहा है. क्योंकि लीप सेकंड जोड़ने का निश्चय वैज्ञानिकों द्वारा सूक्ष्म गणना के आधार पर 6 महीने पहले ही लिया जाता है, इसलिए कंप्यूटरो के लिए ऐसा सॉफ्टवेयर तैयार करना मुमकिन नहीं होता जिससे वे स्वत: अपने आप को समय के इस अंतर के अनुसार एडजस्ट कर लें. पिछली बार यानी सन 2012 में लीप सेकंड के कारण लिंकडीन, रेडिट, फोरस्कॉयर जैसी वेबसाइट क्रेश कर गईं थी. लेकिन इस बार ज्यादातर वेबसाइटों ने एहतियाती कदम उठाएं हैं. गूगल ने निश्चय किया था कि दिन के अंत में एक अतिरिक्त सेकंड जोड़ने की बजाए वह एक सेकंड के कई हिस्से करके दिनभर नियमित अंतराल पर अपने सर्वर में फीड समय में जोड़ता रहेगा. स्टॉक मार्केट के इस युग में जहां हर सेकंड करोड़ों का करोबार होता है, एक सेकंड का अंतर कई सारी परेशानियां खड़ी कर सकता है. इसके मद्देनजर विश्वभर के स्टॉक बाजारों ने भी एहतियाती कदम उठाए. अमेरिका में जहां रात 8 बजे लीप सेकंड जुड गया वहीँ स्टॉक मार्केट 8 बजने से पहले बंद कर दिया गया. न्यूयॉर्क का नैसडैक आज 7:55 मिनट पर बंद कर दिया गया !
FAMOUS PEOPLE - who believed in Re-incarnation
The following are the views about Re-incarnation, of 10 most famous persons across the globe:
Benjamin Franklin "I look upon death to be as necessary to the constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning & finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other always exist."
Mark Twain "I have been born more times than anybody except Krishna."
Leo Tolstoy "As we live through thousands of dreams in our present life, so is our present life only one of many thousands of such lives which we enter from the other more real life and then return after death. Our life is but one of the dreams of that more real life, and so it is endlessly, until the very last one, the very real the life of God."
Henry Ford "I adopted the theory of reincarnation when I was 26. Genius is experience. Some think to seem that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives".
Mahatma Gandhi "I cannot think of permanent enmity between man and man, and believing as I do in the theory of reincarnation, I live in the hope that if not in this birth, in some other birth I shall be able to hug all of humanity in friendly embrace."
General George S. Patton "So as through a glass and darkly, the age long strife I see, Where I fought in many guises, many names, but always me."
William Wordsworth "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting. And cometh from afar."
Jalaluddin Rumi (Islamic Poet of the 13th century) "I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?"
Carl Jung "My life often seemed to me like a story that has no beginning and no end. I had the feeling that I was an historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing. I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer; that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me."
Socrates "I am confident that there truly is such a thing as living again, that the living spring from the dead, and that the souls of the dead are in existence."

William Thomas Stead (5 July 1849 – 15 April 1912) was an English newspaper editor & a pioneer of investigative journalism. Stead published a series of hugely influential campaigns, whilst editor of The Pall Mall Gazette and he is best known for his 1885 articles- The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon, written in support of a bill to raise the age of consent from 13 to 16, dubbed as the "Stead Act." C.W.Leadbeater, a highly developed clairvoyant & writer of sizeable no of Theosophical books, has mentioned him prominently in most of his writings. In the 1890s, Stead became increasingly interested in spiritualism. In 1893, he founded a spiritualist quarterly, called Borderland, in which he gave full play to his interest in psychical research. Stead was editor and he employed Ada Goodrich Freer as assistant editor: She was also a substantial contributor under the pseudonym "Miss X". Stead claimed that he was in the habit of communicating with Freer by telepathy and automatic writing. The magazine ceased publication in 1897. Stead claimed to be in receipt of messages from the spirit world and in 1892, to be able to produce automatic writing. His spirit contact was alleged to be the departed Julia Ames, an American temperance reformer and journalist whom he met in 1890 shortly before her death. In 1909 he established Julia's Bureau, where inquirers could obtain information about the spirit world from a group of resident mediums. Stead died while travelling in the ill-fated Titanic. Ten years after the Titanic went down, Stead's daughter Estelle published "The Blue Island: Experiences of a New Arrival Beyond the Veil", which purported to be a communication with Stead via a medium, Pardoe Woodman. In the book, Stead described his death at sea and discussed the nature of the afterlife. The manuscript was produced using automatic writing, and Ms. Stead cited as proof of its authenticity the writer's habit of going back to cross "t's" and dot "i's" while proof-reading --- which she said was characteristic of her father's writing technique in life.

At 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, the British ocean liner Titanic sank into the North Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles south of Newfoundland, Canada. The massive ship, which carried 2,200 passengers and crew, had struck an iceberg two and half hours before. Many people had some kind of premonition about an unavoidable mishap, prompting them to cancel their tickets at last moment. Morgan Robertson wrote a short novel "Futility", published in 1898. This story features an enormous British passenger liner called the SS Titan, which, deemed to be unsinkable, carries an insufficient number of lifeboats. On a voyage in the month of April, the Titan hit an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic, resulting in the loss of almost everyone on board. There are many similarities to the real-life disaster of the RMS Titanic. The book was published fourteen years before the actual Titanic hit an iceberg on the night of April 15, 1912 and sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic.
This incident forces us to believe- "Do people really have clairvoyant or clairaudience capabilities??
