Magnetism; Self- Realization Fellowship Lessons 46 & 47

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

Eat abundantly of fruits and vegetables to increase magnetism. Fruits especially have a magnetic quality, and they don’t clog the system. Too much protein and starch food retain the poisons in your body.
People who Eat meat three times a day have doll eyes where is those who eat plenty of fruits and invariably have bright eyes.

Always center your whole mind on whatever you may be doing, however small or seemingly unimportant it may be. Also learn to keep your mind flexible so that you can transfer your attention at a moments notice. But above all do everything with 100% concentration.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Again some of this is old school, we know more now than when PY was alive. I mean face it he changed things as he grew as well. He evolved things that came before him. I think we must continue that pattern as far as knowledge of health and foods. Bananas for example are not what they used to be.

Fruits are good, but too much is too much. Especially dried fruit. Sugar is sugar, whether processed or not, you have to watch it as you get older.

I don't know about the dull eyes thing. I met a man once about 10 years ago, 80 years old, certainly not a vegetarian. Shook his hand and I could feel this guy's strength, and there was nothing dull in his eyes.

Went out with a girl once who literally had eyes like floodlights. Was not a vegetarian.

I think we know that it's a balance, moderation, knowledge.

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

Not many people know that you can steal others’ magnetism. When you shake hands with someone a magnet is formed. The other persons feet and your own form one magnet; and both of your hands form a higher magnet. The one who is stronger gives his vibrations to the other. The weaker person receives the vibrations. The moment you even look at a person you have formed a magnetic exchange of vibrations.

~Paramahansa Yogananda

I remember once having a girl friend that was psychic and and experienced the presence of spirits and ghosts. She had unworldly eyes. My father met her and later explained to me that ‘she was spooky and could see behind the windows.’ Through being in her presence for years i was exposed to departed spirits still inhabiting this realm.

~ Jitendra

If you look at a sensual person a magnet of a lower or grosser vibration will be formed; and if you mix with spiritual people exchange of magnetism will be of a higher vibratory plane. You are constantly exchanging  magnetism, often unknowingly by thinking of, by shaking hands with, or just by looking into the eyes of another person. ~P.Y.

I have been in the presence of some people that suddenly I felt my body feel lighter as though I was floating. When they left me, I thought; please don’t go!

 ~Jitendra

I remember taking my mother to see Brother Anandamoy after she met him she explained to me that he was extremely handsome and that he knew her thoughts.

~ Jitendra

I used to see Brother Bhaktananda quite often. He could read my spiritual state and tell me where I was and he once told me I had fallen from a higher state. He was once of the most humble people I have ever met but he was so full of wisdom that I never once remember him not having an answer to difficult questions I posed to him about life on this planet.

~ Jitendra

It is strange but true that as soon as your heart is with someone you draw all the defects and good qualities of that person.~P.Y.

I had a friend who was an administrator here at the portal Nikki- known here as - Into Blue. She experienced the presence of angels help. Through being in her presence I was exposed to the blessings of angels. We agreed to attempt to contact one another when one of us passed to the other side. After she left this physical realm because of cancer…she returned to me once and I will never forget that strong experience.

~Jitendra

I received darshan ( the touch of a Master or saint. ) from Amma once. She hugged me. When I walked out of the building I felt so much love and ecstasy that I broke down crying and prayed that she would not leave me with the blessing I was experiencing.

~ Jitendra

Take care therefore not to concentrate on wicked individuals for you may attract their bad qualities. It is different, of course, if you want to help those who may need it, but you must be stronger than they are or instead of giving them something you will attract their deficiencies. If you want to be an author, think of a great writer. By concentrating on anyone personality you can attract that personality. Therefore you must place your love in true individuals.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda

I remember driving over an hour on Sundays to see a certain Brother speak at Self-Realization Fellowship in Pasadena,California. His vibration was so strong and high that I felt very happy just to be in his presence standing near him. A friend was with me and asked me if I felt the electrical energy going up my arm from just standing next to him that he felt.

#47

Those who are not mentally and emotionally strong enough to control themselves, should run from the scene of trouble. Those who are sure to be subdued by others nagging should take temporary flight, and thereby prevent their opponents from having the satisfaction of crushing them with unkindness. One should take such flights as often as necessary; indeed, he cannot take them frequently enough if anyone very dear, to him constantly loosens shafts of unkindness upon him.

PY

I find that as meditation becomes more effective and regular we can also feel the undercurrents around us and know when it is better just to remain silent and not contribute to the drama that others make of life when it does not work towards a productive outcome.

Lesson #47

People in ugly moods should be left alone and given an opportunity to seclude themselves when they are thus spiritually and mentally sick. This "quarantine" will prevent them from spreading an epidemic of inharmony.~ Paramahansa Yogananda

Many times i have left people when I found their moods very dark. It is really the best thing to do because you may be drawn into their darkness and react in ways that you never intended.

When it is impossible to do so it may be better to say nothing to unkind moods of those around us. People’s challenging moods can affect our well being as well but when we are quite confident we are ok, it is better to just ‘lay low’ and let others ride out their own roller coaster moods, especially if we are aware that anything we say can be used against us. Kinda like ‘I have nothing to say, because anything I say may be words that will be used against me. There may be events in our life taking place that it is better that we insulate ourselves from such turmoil going on in the minds and moods of those around us.
