Ek Thi Dayaan - The effect of Ghosts and Black Magic on the Mind?

3 common problems people approach me for are-
1. Feeling that they are being haunted by a ghost
2. Feelin as if someone is observing them and/or
3. Someone has cast a "black magic" spell on them.

"Happiness for most is defined as having everything as per your desire and demand."

When life is not going as per what you want, the mind becomes sad, fearful and negative.

As things go from bad to worst, the sadness, fear and negativity increases many fold.
The logical brain has a conflict with the "creative" brain... Eventually giving rise to "explanations" which one forces himself/herself to believe.

We live in a society, were since childhood people develop tendencies to blame others for their bad. Accepting one's own error is difficult and in some cases impossible.. This blame game has various forms.. the commonest are -

1. Someone has done Black magic – In majority cases the suspicion is upon a family member, friend, colleague or known person.
the extent of the "black magic" includes:
a. thoughts and actions are being controlled
b. bodily harm is being done as body is controlled by someone outside force.
c. the occurrence of diseases which were earlier not present shows that negativity is being send.

2. Ghosts are troubling -
a. someone always keeps following them.
b. someone who can read their mind.
c. someone inside their mind, who continuously talks to them or controls their thought process.
d. are able to see people, animals who only they can interact with.
e. their thoughts are being controlled.
f. unusual experiences of touch, smell that others cannot feel.


The reason for this is that one of the most socially accepted delusions is that of "Bhoot, Black Magic, Aatma, Gin, Ghosts or Possessions"...
Religious preachers and the audio-visual media (Radio/TV/Cinema) have together created a "dangerous and horror filled memory" within our minds.

It provides our minds with a great way to escape and find illogical but "socially acceptable" answers to whats going wrong.

Most of my patients who suffer from these "false ideas", have been visiting tantriks, astrologers and other faith healers for years... before they decide to come and meet me.

WHY DOES THE COMPLETE CURE NOT HAPPEN, EVEN AFTER VISITING A ASTROLOGER,BABA, PEER, OJHA, TANTRIK OR FAITH HEALER?

Because the mental restlessness has not been calmed.

1. While the battle of good vs bad is very attractive... the human mind can only take explanations to a certain level.. after that decisions have to be made..
If one is poor in decision making... and even poorer on action over a decision.. restlessness will always exist..

so while most of these faith-healers promise instant cures by doing rituals... till one isn't positive and logical about an action, it won't ever come true.

2. A mind accustomed to blaming others for his/her misfortune, will continue doing the same even after the "Astrological" cure is complete.
So the "Ghost is bound to come back and haunt you".. because the mind has now found a great way of explaining failure.

3. There is no instant, astrological or magical cure for Mental Restlessness…

Mental Restlessness is an emotional, biological and psychological issue... It affects your way of thinking,
it changes the blood circulation in the brain leading to chemical and hormonal changes... its a medical condition, that requires treatment.

TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE.. DON'T RELY ON OTHERS TO PROVIDE YOU THE CURE... DON'T EXPECT LIFE TO BE EASY ENOUGH THAT ONE "RITUAL" CAN BRING YOU ALL THE FAME, MONEY, LOVE AND GOODNESS...
LEARN TO CALM YOUR RESTLESSNESS AND FIGHT THE SITUATION.

LIFE WILL NOT ONLY BE MORE PLEASURABLE.. BUT FULL OF CONFIDENCE, LOVE AND PEACE.
