Notes
Index

For centuries Eastern traditions have taken the subject of entity possession quite seriously. Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, recognizes bhutas or entities and their influence on mental and physical well-being, as well as the ways they can be evicted from the individual. Now, in a work that is unique in Western literature, Dr. Samuel Sagan examines the problem of these incorporeal beings that attach themselves to human beings as parasites, causing various emotional, mental and physical problems. A landmark study that presents sound analysis and treatment of this phenomenon, Entity Possession demystifies a topic that has long been overdramatized by the folklore surrounding possession and exorcism.

Using actual case studies of the "hungry ghost" phenomenon, Dr. Sagan analyzes their mechanisms and motivations, presenting the facts of entity possession, and including many tips on how to dislodge these parasites from the individuals whose lives are thrown out of balance by their presence.

7.2 Astral Transfers During Pregnancy

Let us now consider certain extraordinary mechanisms related to pregnancy. Mother, the French-born yogi who was for many years in charge of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India, commented in her Agenda on strange connections between parents and children. 1 Her vision was that, durning pregnancy a number of the mother's repressed psychological tendencies tend to "come out" and contaminate the baby. All sorts of vicious instincts and negative qualities that the woman had buried inside her subconscious and forgotten about are released, and pass into the child. Mother, who was ninety-one at the time, remembered something she had read a very long time previously, possibly by the French author Renan: "Beware of the children of nice, respectable parents because birth is a purge." (Mother was laughing while saying this) The same French author suggested one should also watch the children of really "bad" people carefully because these children too often show dispositions that are diametrically opposed to those of their parents.

Mother was puzzled by the horrible temper of the children of certain very well-to-do parents in her ashram. So she applied her immense vision to childbirth and came to the conclusion that having children for many people was a way of throwing out everything they didnt want in themselves, exactly like a purge. Seen from this perspective, the common saying that pregnancey heals many of the mother's troubles takes on a new dimension.

At the delivery an astral shattering takes place, not unlike that of death, but on a lower scale. Some fragments of the mother's astral body suddenly seperate and go with the baby. These fragments do not become an entity in the baby, but a component of its own astral body.

Other astral bits and pieces, both from the mother and child, are released and create a situation of "fallout" similar to what happens after death, but less intense. Naturally, the placenta will be a prime target for these various astral fragments. This is another reason why one should make sure that all the etheric placenta is eliminated in the weeks following the delivery.

Another effect of the minor astral shattering that takes place after birth is to contribute to the state of emptiness, if not depression, often experienced by the mother around that time. It would be excessive to regard this shattering as the only cause of postpartum depression. A pregnancy is a tiring enterprise and one does not need to be clairvoyant to understand why the mother may feel empty after the birth. Still, the shattering appears to be an important factor in influencing the mother's emotional reactions and the subsequent psychological transformations she may go through.

The main consequence of these astral transfers is that most human beings inherit a number of undesirable tendencies while in their mother's womb. Note that this does not happen entirely by chance. WHen observing the mechanisms by which wandering souls choose their parents, one realizes that there are usually good reasons why a particular soul is driven to a particular mother. In the astral worlds, like attracts like. A kind of resonance takes place between the dispositions of the baby-to- be and that of its mother-to-be. In other words, a soul is attracted to parents whose astral bodes have some kind of similarity to its own.

However, it is not at all rare for a soul to be attracted to a mother because of certain qualities of hers, and then unexpectedly inherit a whole package of other ones. The people who think that nothing is left to chance in the mechanisms of reincarnation overlook on basic fact -- the present condition of the human astral body is a complete mess. Remember, on the astral level, you are not a person you are a mob. You are made of a crowd of characters, and each has its own dispositions and desires. A baby may well be attracted to you because of a particular character,and then inherit features related to other ones with which it does not have any connection. A real solution to this problem can only come if parents undertake a systematic catharsis of their conscious and unconscious mind before conceiving their children.

Meditation might be one option. Maybe reading this book might help you find out more.

Asking is the first step. I don't have your answers though.
