Dianetics explores the existence of a mind with three parts: the conscious "analytical mind," the subconscious "reactive mind", and the somatic [soma in Greek means body & this is the mind that is related to the body] mind. The goal of Dianetics is to remove the so-called "reactive mind" that scientologists believe prevents people from becoming more ethical, more aware, happier and saner. The Dianetics procedure to achieve this is called "auditing". Auditing is a process whereby a series of questions are asked by the Scientology auditor, in an attempt to rid the auditee of the painful experiences of the past which scientologists believe to be the cause of the "reactive mind".Dianetics uses a counseling technique known as auditing, developed by Hubbard to enable conscious recall of traumatic events in an individual's past.Scientology beliefs revolve around the Thetan, the individualized expression of the cosmic source, or life force, named after the Greek letter theta (θ).The thetan is the true identity of a person – an intrinsically good, omniscient, non-material core capable of unlimited creativity.
There are various methods by which you can deal through stress and other problems which one usually can not tackle without a guideline. For example the method as mentioned above or by Past Life Regression Therapy as practised by many in various parts of India as well as abroad. This was founded by Dr Brian Weiss, a psychotherapist who practises in Miami, South Florida. Many Lives Many Masters is the true story of a psychiatrist, his ’extraordinarily attractive’ young patient who worked as a lab technician in his hospital and the PAST LIFE THERAPY that changed both of their worlds.
Past life regression is an accepted practice in the west and you can find hundreds of centres and practitioners in all major cities.Universally the doctors & human race at large are now slowly accepting that one has to heal the mind also along with the body to bring about desired process of healing.
Let me ask you a question .What will be your reaction when you regress and realise that you had lived earlier and will live again after death?
I think, some may become more reckless! After all this is not the only life I have, the thought will cross the mind and also that this is not the end! While on the other hand, some may become more responsible when they realise that everything you do is being accounted for & that whatever you do now will have its implications in next life.
Many Lives, Many Masters is an interesting book. Since it is written by a prominent psychiatrist, and is based on true case observations, it becomes more acceptable while intriguing. For people who are interested in exploring "life after death "theories, it offers some fascinating facts.
Though there are many books, which may discuss this subject, but Dr. Brian Weiss has taken us as close to the truth as possible through his main character, Catherine. Catherine has everything one could want from life - a good husband, happy family , and yet, she finds herself getting depressed, not exactly knowing the reason, why. She begins to withdraw from her surroundings, struggling with her inner demons and finally, by the time she reaches Dr. Weiss for treatment, she is a wreck.
Intrigued, Dr Weiss turns to hypnosis to help Catherine understand the reason of her traumas. It is then, based on what Catherine reveals in the subliminal state of her session, is what shocks Dr. Weiss and us, readers too. It sounds so unbelievable and yet, it can't be a fallacy, for Catherine is not even aware she spoke what she did till Dr. Weiss plays the tape for her to work out if she can connect all that with her present in anyway. The subsequent hypnotic sessions reveal deeper mysticism that exists in this world or should I say the other world. Whatever conclusion or should I say, thought provoking beginning, each individual will draw from this book, one thing is true-it sure is based on the facts and not a fabrication weaved out of the author's imagination, and that is the selling point of this book.
Here I would like to add my personal viewpoint about this book
Am sure, many have heard of Patanjali. The concept of Past Life Therapy is as old as Patanjali’s YOGA DARSHAN which was written around the 4th century BC.He talks about the soul(CHITTA) being burdened with the impressions or samskaras of karmas from previous births.I would like to mention about one more timeless treasure of our country , the book "Bhagavadgita", which also tells you that your soul leaves this body and accepts another body just as you shed old clothes to wear fresh ones.!
These are just a few examples to show that we are much more than a body . Basically it is the concept of Karma which I am emphasizing. In this Life or the past which ever you choose to believe the discretion is your's entirely. On a different note, if you want to pick up the strewn parts of your life and gather them in one stream you better start acting on it from NOW.
There is no time other than NOW, according to me. If there was a past in which you or I have made mistakes, suffered, then , it is time to LET GO of it and begin AFRESH.
EMBARK ON A JOURNEY CALLED LIFE REPLETE WITH POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS. Its not every day that one comes across a person or experiences something inspiring. Self Inspiration is what I believe in and I promise you, each one of us can do this, provided we WANT TO !
