What
is beyond this world that’s better than our world? Everything
that we can imagine and can’t imagine. Once we experience
it, we know. No one else can really tell us. But we have to be
persistent in that, and we have to be truly sincere; otherwise,
no one else can do it for us. In the same way, no one else can
replace you to work at the UN office, and then you get paid for
it. It’s the same as no one else can help us eat and then
we get satisfied.

Beyond
our world, there are many different worlds. We can just give an example
like the one a little bit higher than we are, which we call the Astral
World in Western terminology. In the Astral World, they even have
hundred or more different levels. And each level is a world in itself,
and it represents our level of understanding. It’s just like
when we enter a university, each grade as we go through the university
represents our increased understanding of the university’s teaching,
and then slowly we move to graduation. In the Astral World, we can
see many kinds of so-called miracles and we can probably also be tempted
by miracles and probably work miracles as well. We’ll be able
to heal the sick and sometimes see things that other people can’t
see. We’ll have at least six kinds of miracle power. We can
see beyond the ordinary boundaries. We can hear beyond the limits
of space. Distance doesn’t make any difference to us… |

We
all heard that in different kinds of religious Bibles or Scriptures,
it is mentioned that there are seven heavens, there are different
levels of consciousness. There is the Kingdom of God within, there
is Buddha Nature, etc. These are some things that are promised beyond
this world. So, what lies in the Kingdom of God? Why should we bother
about the Kingdom of God if we already have enough work to do in
the world and we have a job, we have secure houses, and we have
enough loving relationships, etc.? Precisely, because we already
have all these, we should be concerned about the Kingdom of God.
It's actually just some level of higher consciousness. In scientific
terms, we can say, it is a different - a higher level of knowledge,
a higher level of wisdom. And this we can have access to, should
we know how.

I guess
it is just like the law of physics. You want to send some rocket
into, beyond the gravity, you have to have a lot of pushing power
behind that, and also when it flies very fast it also emanates some
light. So I guess when we go fast into the beyond, we can radiate
some Light also, and also we can hear the Sound. The Sound is the
kind of Vibrational Power that pushes us into the higher levels.
Now, there is a facility within us which is faster than any UFO
can comply. That is our own soul. We call it spirit sometimes. Never
goes out of order, except when we want to damage it by violating
the universal precepts, violating the harmony of heaven and Earth,
which is very simple to avoid.

Now, if
we go a little bit beyond this level to the Second Level, what we
call Second, just for the sake of simplifying matters. The Second
Level - then we will probably have a lot more abilities than the
first one, and including the miracles. But the most striking achievement
we can have at the Second Level is that, the eloquence, and the
ability to debate. And no one seems to be able to conquer a person
who has achieved the Second Level because he has tremendous power
of eloquence, and his intellect is at the peak of his power. In
India, people call this level Buddhi means intellectual level. And
when you achieve Buddhi, you become a Buddha. It's not yet the end
of the Kingdom of God, there are the Third, the Forth, the Fifth
Levels¡KAnd beyond that, there are many aspects of God, which
are difficult to understand. Once we experience it, then we know.

We may
have experiences one time, for a couple of times or some days due
to the power of that a Master who experienced God. Then we might
see some Light or hear some Sound, very naturally without our effort,
but in most cases, it doesn't last very long. So, we have to be
persistent in that, and we have to truly be sincere. |
