"Karmic Relationships" by Dr. Charles Richards

I am not trying to write review for this book here now, I will write it some time later when I am in mood to write. This is just for reference.

I recently read this book called "Karmic Relationships" by Dr. Charles Richards, and I must say this was the first book on Karma that impressed me and I could read till end with interest. The reason I liked this book is more because it talks a lot about the proofs about reincarnations, the reasons behind we being in specific conditions in this life, etc. Dr. Charles Richards has a standard theray that he calls "Soul Journey" that he uses to bring his clients to previous life experiences, and most importantly to between life experiences. This is something that others cannot do with routine regression therapy.

I have read books that talks about between life experiences, and after death experiences. I must say that this book was not the greatest book to learn about after death experiences (just my opinion, might not be right to others), but this book captures experiences of people against other books that talks more based on dreams, or a person visiting back after death in dreams or something... can everyone have this kind of experience?? - No, only the initiated souls or lucky souls can have this experience of someone coming back to dream and describing what happens after death.. but people like me can only read those things, never experience probably.. I think it is very important to experience those things to believe them.. otherwise it is more like knowing things, but not really believing them from the bottom of your heart!!

Anyway, if interested, please try to read this book, and it will interest you after a few pages for sure...

Dooms Day - The End or The Beginning!!

Yesterday, I came across some material about the famous foretold Dooms Day!! 21st December, 2012. Since, I am a strong believer of prophecies, spiritual and super natural powers, acting of some force beyond our understanding, etc.., and at the same time an engineer who believes in Science, and believes that everything that happens has some explanation, I spent a lot of time reading about different prophecies and beliefs about dooms day.. I read about (only on internet)

• prophecies by different Oracles from Europe, Greece, Central America...
• "I Chi", "Mayan Calender", "Hipo Indians"..
• Scientific beliefs, what scientists have found - the movement of Sun into centre of Milki way, possibility of the effects due to Nibiru, scientific fears of Polar shifts on that day
• Biblical pridictions

All of them closes down to one date.. which make us believe somehow that something is going to happen on that day!! What?? - is it really dooms day??

Well, it's hard to believe that the world is going to end on this one day.. it is beyond our imigination.. but that is what is called "The Judgement Day"..

After all these readings, I kept thinking:

• If this is really the judgement day - Is GOD planning to balance the account of our Karma altogether? If so, it is a good thing, since, then we are going to get freed up from the cycle of birth-rebirth.. This is what humans have strived for.. and probably we are getting it..
• If the world is going to end, and if we are not getting the so called "Moksha".. what is going to happen? Are we going to get rebirth into the new world on earth or somewhere else? Are we going to evolve again from lower species, again going through sufferings, trying to awaken our lower chakras to come back to human birth??
• Probably the world will not end completely, there will be few of us alive to carry this forward.. probably the lucky ones..
• Probably nothing is going to happen.. as we predicted end of world so many times before, but we are still here..

Well, since I am not an initiated soul, I do not have any answers to my thoughts or questions. I can only wait and watch till the day.. hoping for the best to happen.. may it be end or not..

Moved to US or Moved back to Myself??

As everyone knows, I recently moved to US in Sept., 2007. After a few initial hick-ups and troubles, I (we) started getting used to life here, and started going back to our confort zone.. which everyone wants..

Before I moved here, I was too attached to my work and career, or rather I would say I was very impatient to go up the ladder.. in a way, that took the front seat in life somehow.. Opportunities to move to foreign land kept coming my way, but I never wanted to move out.. partly because of the attachment to the career objectives, and partly because of the fear of unknown..

I have been going around, and have been to many contries.. I always knew life is different in other developed countries, and people give priorities to different things unlike most of us who run after achieving something like position, money, social status, etc. But unfortunately, I never thought to experience that life before I decide to get settled to a place best for me and my family..

After coming to US and getting settled here for a while now, I think this country has thrown me back to my original nature.. I started living for myself, started thinking that it is most important for me to spend time with myself, and my family more than anything. I always knew this, but lately stopped living it, like we all know all the spiritual things, but don't ever implement in life..

I always knew that achieving certin things will make me happy for some time, but at the end of the day, when I will look back at my life, I will regret that I did not spend enough time with the loved ones in my life.. how much do we need to make it a happy living.. but as I said, I knew, but did not live that life.. just knowing doesn't help!! After staying here for half a year, I feel that I have started living this life now..

In a way, I have learnt a lot of things from people in this country.. People here are not really ashamed of whatever they do.. they live for themselves.. Even I started respecting everyone genuinely now, irrespective of what they do, what social or monatery status they carry, etc. It is more important to watch how they handle their lives with whatever they have.. I know most people will say that they also don't differentiate people based on money, or the work they do.. but try to think.. do we really do this??

I am very grateful to my wife for helping me or making me take the decision to move to US.. it improved me a lot as a person.. I have always been very patient, soft, and understanding man.. but lately those things changed.. but they are slowly coming back.. And I think those things are more important to me in life.. It is important to start accepting life as it comes!!
