Kirlian photography (electrophotography)
In 1939, Semyon Kirlian discovered by accident that if an object on akirlian butterfly digigraph by R. Carroll photographic plate is subjected to a high-voltage electric field, an image is created on the plate. The image looks like a colored halo or coronal discharge. This image is said to be a physical manifestation of the spiritual aura or “life force” which allegedly surrounds each living thing.
Allegedly, this special method of “photographing” objects is a gateway to the paranormal world of auras. Actually, what is recorded is due to quite natural phenomena such as pressure, electrical grounding, humidity and temperature. Changes in moisture (which may reflect changes in emotions), barometric pressure, and voltage, among other things, will produce different ‘auras’.
Bach flower therapy
Bach flower therapy is a type of homeopathic aromatherapy developed in the 1930s by British physician Edward Bach (1886-1936). Bach claimed to have psychically or intuitively discovered the healing effects of 38 wildflowers. His “discoveries” were arrived at by “inspirations.” For example, while on a walk he had an inspiration that dew drops on a plant heated by the sun would absorb healing properties from the plant. He claimed that all he needed to do was hold a flower or taste a petal and he could intuitively grasp its healing powers. From these intuitions he went on to prepare “essences” using pure water and plants.
Bach claimed that these wildflowers have a soul or energy with an affinity to the human soul. The flower’s spiritual energy is transferable to water. Devotees drink a homeopathic concoction of flower essence, mineral water and brandy in order to get the flower soul to harmonize their own soul’s energy. According to Desde San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo of Uruguay, flower remedies “do work.” Bach thought that illness is the result of “a contradiction between the purposes of the soul and the personality’s point of view.” This internal war leads to negative moods and energy blocking, which causes a lack of “harmony” which leads to physical diseases. “Each of the 38 flowers of the Bach system is used to balance specific emotional pains or, in advanced stages of the lack of balance, to remit physical symptoms” [personal correspondence]. I have no idea what is meant by saying that this therapy “works,” but I do not see how it could be tested since its main claims are metaphysical not empirical.
Astral Projection
Astral projection is a type of out-of-body experience (OBE) in which the astral body leaves its other six bodies and journeys far and wide to anywhere in the universe. The notion that we have seven bodies (one for each of the seven planes of reality) is a teaching of theosophist Madame Blavatsky. On its trips, the astral body perceives other astral bodies rather than their physical, etheric, emotional, spiritual, etc. bodies. In an ordinary OBE, such as remote viewing or the out-of-body near-death experience, there is a separation of a person’s consciousness from his or her body. In the near-death out-of-body experience, there may be the experience of hovering above and perceiving one’s body and environs,and hearing conversations of surgeons or rescue workers tinkering with one’s body. In astral projection, it is the astral body, not the soul or consciousness, that leaves the body. The astral body, according to Madame Blavatsky, is the one that has an aura. It is also the seat of feeling and desire, and is generally described as being connected to the physical body during astral projection by an infinitely elastic and very fine silver cord, a kind of cosmic umbilical cord or Ariadne’s thread.
There is scant evidence to support the claim that anyone can project their mind, soul, psyche, spirit, astral body, etheric body, or any other entity to somewhere else on this or any other planet. The main evidence is in the form of testimonials.
“Meditation is the totality of life, it cannot be divided into segments of time and space. Its impact should be felt on every activity from the time of waking up in the morning till going to bed at night. Walking sitting, standing, sleeping, speaking, eating, drinking etc. Only when all these activities are seasoned with meditation, the perfection of sadhana manifests itself in conduct. It is because of this consideration that various forms of sadhana have been determined - walking yoga, standing-yoga, sitting-yoga, asana-yoga, sleeping yoga, speaking-yoga, eating-yoga, etc. Yoga in these words is symbolic of the fact that any action when complemented with full awareness, becomes yoga.”
Acharya Ganadhipati Tulsi in Transmutation Of Personality
Hermann Jacobi 1850 - 1937
A fool is one who goes on trusting; a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience. You deceive him, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you. Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn. His trust is tremendous; his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it. Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense. Don’t try to create a wall of knowledge around you. Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying to the past so you remain in the present, herenow, as if just born, just a babe. In the beginning it is going to be very difficult. The world will start taking advantage of you…let them. They are poor fellows. Even if you are cheated and deceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is really yours cannot be robbed from you, that which is really yours nobody can steal from you. And each time you don’t allow situations to corrupt you, that opportunity will become an integration inside.
The hypnopompic state is the transition state of semiconsciousness between sleeping and waking. For some people, this is a time of visual and auditory hallucination.

Visualization for pain
Before the visualization let’s touch the basic knowledge about matter. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter (The word ‘atom’ is derived from the Greek word atomos which means indivisible). They are composed of three types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus, while the individual electrons are just vibrations and certainly their fields are vibrations. And those field vibrations negotiate all physical action. The nucleus, which contains nearly all its mass, has about 1/1000 of the radius of the atom, so 99.999999999999% of an atom’s volume is just empty space!
Now, close your eyes and imagine your pain as a solid heavy stone or a heavy metal of your choice. Try to observe that stone/metal from every possible angle; try to touch it; go behind it, above it, try to lift it, try to see it… Now, go inside the stone. You are surrounded by heaviness. Remember that this heaviness is just an illusion and go even deeper into the matter of the stone/metal, until you arrive at an atom level. Pick one atom and go with your awareness inside that atom. You will see electrons moving around the nucleus. Imagine the electrons moving very slowly, like a slow-motion movie. (Slowly moving electrons indicate the heaviness and the slow vibrational energy of the matter). Now, intentionally make the electron speed up, go faster and faster, until you can no longer follow their motion. The speeding electrons in stone /metal are now transforming the energy of matter into the energy of light. Go out of the stone/metal knowing that its electrons are moving faster and faster around the nucleus. In your vision there is no more stone/metal; only light remains. With light there is no pain, only health and wellbeing.
Invention of Zero
Although ancient Babylonians were known to have used what is often called “place holders” to distinguish between numbers like 809 and 89, they were nothing more than blank spaces or at times two wedge shapes like “. More importantly, they lacked the realization that zero has a place in the number system as well as it comes with a baggage of abstract interpretations. Hence, while they can be credited with intelligently solving a practical problem of avoiding misinterpreting two numbers like 809 and 89, they can hardly be credited with the invention of the complex notion of zero and the even more complex notion of the abstract idea of “nothingness”.
