Lesson #46
In this lesson 'Paramahansaji' speaks about magnetism and the properties inherent in magnetic fields. Magnetic fields have dualistic properties. For instance; have you ever noticed having a strong attraction to something followed by a strong antipathy? Perhaps you have noticed the reactions of others towards you. They may have felt attracted to you and then suddenly you begin to see a reversal and they are repelled or vica versa. What amazes me is that many times people are not aware of this phenomena. If they are they still let these reactions control themselves. They are very affected by these dual states. We attract living objects that have a relation to us... to our magnetic field.
He also speaks of increasing magnetism. Though i am a vegetarian i must admit that at times i eat a lot of protein and starches. He states that 'to much protein and starchy food retain the poisons in you body and that fresh fruit and vegetables increase magnetism. "People who eat meat three times a day have dull eyes, whereas those who eat plenty of fruit invariably have bright eyes.
I have been eating much more fruit lately and trying to start limiting my protein/starch diet. I remember Yogananda talking about his stay in the monastery with Sri Yukteswar and being fed .. simple fruit meals. All this starch food turns to sugar. No wonder so many people get heavy here in the states. We are always told we need protein and the wheat fields and potatoes are abundant here. All to make us look like porky and his friends!
