What is ESP?The Power to Divine.

Some time back a book written by Peter Hurkos 'Psychic' was published. In this book Peter Hurkos claimed that during the second world war he was window cleaner in Holland. While he was cleaning a window a German Air raid took place. As per Peter, he fell off the perch and was rendered unconscious.

Once he recovered consciousness he realized that he had developed Extra Sensory powers of Perception.Thus he could visualize that the man next to him on the hospital bed was a British agent.He also had a fleeting vision of the Gestapo running towards the hospital.Accordingly he warned the agent about it. This particular episode only confirms what the Hindu yogis are saying all along.They say that man has certain sections in his brain which if activated can invest the man with these super extra sensory powers. They outline many methods which can help ignite these powers. These methods center on prayers, rituals and yoga. The last part also enjoins a man to remain celibate. Thus when you perform the Sir Asana - the head stand then over a period of time it may be possible to develop ESP powers. However one must remain celibate as the theory is that the sperms of a man who remains celibate go along the spine to the base of the head and form a flower there.In turn these life giving sperms help ignite sensory powers. Perhaps all this sounds far fetched but there are people in this world who have these powers. Some even claim that they can contact a departed soul. In this context the case of Ruth Montgomery is interesting.She was an educated lady and also wrote a number of books.She claimed the books written by her were dictated by writers from the spirit world. Even in Mumbai there are Moslem Pirs who are men of God who can read your mind with uncanny accuracy.There is one such worthy at Mohammad Ali road who requires the visitor to put his thumb in a small porcelain plate and then he will tell you why you have come and what your problem is. The world of ESP and the latent powers in man has as such so far not been subjected to scientific study.Most of the study is perfunctory and there is a need for scholars to sit down and evaluate all aspects of these phenomena. Perhaps this is the last frontier that needs to be crossed.
