i had written only what i saw or what had occurred to me。
in hypnosis you can be taken as deeply inside your self as one would like to go。
but it will be done by someone else； you will be unconscious。
you wont know a thing。
under hypnosis you can be taken even into your past lives； but it would essentially be in a state of unconsciousness。
the only difference between jati…smaran regression and the technique of hypnosis is that while regressing you go into your past lives with consciousness； in hypnosis you are taken into your previous lives by being made unconscious。
the validity increases a great deal if both the techniques are applied。
suppose you hypnotize a man； ask him about his previous lives and write it down； then in his conscious state you lead him into meditation。
if even under the meditative state he gives the same account of his previous lives； you gather additional evidence and the validity of the story is established。
so the same memory can be revived by applying two methods。
although the process of regression is simple； it has its own hazards。
thats why i did not explain all the keys。
all the keys can be told only to an individual who is ready to experiment。
otherwise； ordinarily； they cannot be explained to everyone。
the whole technique can of course be explained saving one sutra …… this one cannot be practiced。
as i said yesterday； our consciousness moves with the aid of will； determination。
for example； when you sit for meditation and begin to go deep into it； make a resolve to go back when you were five years old and find out what happened to you then。
in that deep state of meditation you will suddenly find you have indeed bee five years old； and whatever happened to you at that age is ing back to you。
at first； enter into the memory of this birth。
as one gains clarity and depth in meditation； and as it bees possible to go back into the past …… which is not difficult …… one can go as far back as the mothers womb and revive memories of that time。
if your mother fell down when she was pregnant with you； her memory of that fall； that hurt； will bee part of your memory too。
or； if she was unhappy at the time you were in her womb； her memory of that suffering will be your memory as well； because in the mothers womb the states of your being and hers were not separate …… they were bined。
hence； deep down the experience that your mother had bees your experience too …… it is automatically transferred to you。
during pregnancy； the mothers state of mind plays a vital role in the formation of the child。
in the right sense of the meaning； one is not a mother just because she has carried a child in her womb； she is also a mother because she has given a special direction to the childs consciousness。
even a female animal is able to carry a baby in her stomach …… all animals do it。
sooner or later machines will do it as well。
it is not too difficult to imagine babies growing in a machine。
an artificial womb can certainly be created。
the same system that exists in the mothers womb can be created in a machine run by electricity。
a system with the same degree of heat； the same amount of water； can be produced。
and sooner or later； instead of growing babies in a mothers womb； they will be placed and grown in a mechanical womb。
but that will not be enough to meet the requirement of motherhood。
perhaps very few mothers on this earth have fulfilled the role of motherhood。
its a herculean task to be a mother。
and the task is； for nine months giving the childs consciousness a specific direction。
during these nine months； if the mother stays angry
and when she gives birth to an angry child； when he behaves angrily； she scolds him； rebukes him； and wonders who has spoiled him； what bad pany he must have fallen into。
mothers e to me plaining about their sons and daughters having fallen into bad pany。
but they dont realize that they are the ones who have sown the seeds of their childrens wrongdoings。
they alone are responsible for building their consciousness …… children are simply manifesting it。
of course； sowing the seed and its manifestation are two different phenomena。
we dont see the connection between the two because an enormous gap exists in between。
emile coue has written an anecdote in his biography。
he says a friend of his； a major in the army； was once reading a book on hypnosis。
somewhere in the book it was mentioned that when a child is in the womb； whatever impressions the mother may receive are automatically transferred to the child。
his wife was pregnant at that time。
he told her； 〃the author of this book says； whatsoever a mother thinks； whatever she feels； whatever she lives …… all of that is directly transferred to the child。
〃 they both laughed and took no serious note of it。
that evening they were invited to a party in honor of a general。
by coincidence； the majors wife sat next to the general at the dining table。
the generals thumb was squashed during the war。
the majors wife suddenly remembered what her husband had read to her that afternoon。
afraid that her child may be born with a deformed thumb； she tried deliberately not to see the generals thumb。
throughout the party she avoided the generals thumb； but the more she tried not to look at it the more her eyes wandered toward that thumb。
she forgot the general； she forgot the party； her whole attention remained focused on the thumb。
since she was sitting next to the general； she saw the thumb as he ate； as he shook hands with people。
it got so bad that she even shut her eyes； but by shutting her eyes she saw the thumb even more clearly。
it is easier to see things clearly with closed eyes。
she pletely freaked out。
as long as the party lasted； the poor woman remained totally obsessed with the generals thumb。
at night； she woke up with a start several times。
in the morning she said to her husband； 〃i am in trouble。
i am very much afraid my child will be born with a deformed thumb。
〃
consoling her； the husband said； 〃are you crazy？ whats in a book？ do you believe something will happen just because it was written by somebody？ drop the whole thing from your mind！〃 but the wife couldnt drop it。
the fact is； the very thing we are asked to drop bees difficult to let go of。
the more the husband tried to persuade her to drop the thing and forget about it； the more it became crystallized。
you know very well …… that which you want to forget； you never can。
in fact in the very attempt of forgetting you have to keep remembering it …… just to forget it。
it keeps ing back to your mind。
if you really want to forget something； you will at least have to remember it。
and in order to forget； the more you will need to remember it the stronger that memory bees。
as the days passed and the time of the childs birth drew closer； the thumb began to weigh heavily on her mind。
no matter how much she tried； she couldnt forget it。
as she went through labor pains； as the child was taking birth； the thumb was in her thoughts …… not the child。
and an incredible thing happened
