As a rule, since the basic intelligence of birds is extremely limited (restricted to fulfilling its basic needs of hunger, sleep, sex, etc.), it is impossible for birds to achieve the feat of talking and acquiring an extensive vocabulary. The ability to speak in birds is because they are either affected or possessed by a ghost (demon, devil, negative energy, etc.) or because the bird is a devolved human being, that is, it was a human being in its past life.

A human being can be devolved to be born into a lower species either because of his own wish or if he has excess of demerits or is cursed by a spiritually evolved person. In fact, Spiritual research has revealed that nowadays 30% of animals are devolved humans.

Why would a spiritually evolved human being wish to take birth in animals or birds?
A spiritually evolved being can opt to take birth in the animal or bird species out of his own free will to pursue his spiritual practice undisturbed by the distractions faced in a human birth. It is possible for spiritually evolved beings to carry on spiritual practice even when in the animal or bird species because 98% of spiritual practice is subtle and internal to the person, i.e. not in terms of any tangible actions. When a spiritually evolved being takes birth in a lower species, ie. as an animal or a bird, it is up to him to also decide when to end that existence.

Why is this parrot able to speak?

In this particular case, the parrot’s ability to speak and to acquire an extensive vocabulary is because he is a devolved human being.

He has not come down of his own free will. Hence, he does not remember his past human birth. He has come down as punishment for his demerits. He was a person at a spiritual level of 30% with intense desire to be the centre of attention. A strong attention seeking habit also results in a demerit as it enhances the ego, which is detrimental for spiritual growth.

Spiritual research has revealed that most houses around the world have some form of negative vibrations. These negative vibrations can be caused by a number of factors such as:
The residents in the premises – are they doing any spiritual practice? If yes, does it conform to the five basic principles in spiritual practice? What is their psychological profile? The premises – The type of construction, cleanliness of the house, the items in the house and their placement, etc. The plot of land that the house has been built on and the surrounding area – is it located in a spiritually conducive area or an area laden with negative, distressing energies? The purpose for which the premises is being used.

The Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) conducted research on some haunted houses/premises through the medium of ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) or an advanced sixth sense. Here are some results of this research:
In 50% of cases the haunting is due to the spiritual level of the residents, eg. if the residents have a lot of personality defects such as anger, greed, addictions etc. they would attract ghosts or departed ancestors who have similar personality defects. Up to 30% is based on the purpose for what the premises is being used. i.e. it could be used for spiritually unconducive purposes such as indulging in addictions, spiritually unconducive music such as techno or rave, etc. which can attract ghosts to the premises. The principle to remember here is simple and Universal: Like attracts alike. Good attracts good and bad attracts bad. Up to 10% depends on the premises itself such as hospitals where many have died unnatural deaths, or jails where inmates have been tortured to death. Up to 6% is due to other factors Up to 2% is due to the plot of land And the remaining 2% is due to the surroundings, eg. a cemetery or graveyard nearby.

Acknowledging the fact the House or Premises is haunted

Most people never realize till it is too late that there are distressing vibrations in their premises. This is because they are themselves affected by the subtle black energy of ghosts. They therefore do not perceive the presence of ghosts, departed ancestors nor the negative vibrations. The presence of a subtle black energy covering (on an average 4 cm.) over most people and lack of sixth sense makes them insensitive to the subtle distress due to the presence of ghosts.

This can be understood by the analogy of how medical personnel do not pick up or are not disturbed by the smell of medicines and disinfectant that permeates a hospital setting. So also those with an established covering of black energy feel good when spiritually unconducive activities are abundant in the premises.

What are the measures one can take to overcome haunting and negative vibrations in the premises?

Spiritual healing measures such as:
Sprinkling of Holy water etc. http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritualresearch/spiritualhealing/incensesticks/usingholywater.php Lighting SSRF incense sticks http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritualresearch/spiritualhealing/incensesticks/incensesticks.php

are extremely effective and tried and tested tools to reduce spiritual negativity in the premises. These healing measures have increased potency when done with devotion, spiritual emotion along with one’s regular spiritual practice.

There are various other remedies for the spiritual cleansing of premises with varying percentages of importance such as:
Spiritual practice of residents in the premises – 30% The pleasing personalities of the residents – 30% Rituals performed to cleanse the premises on and off or on a regular basis -14% Visits by Saints to the premises – 10% Keeping the doors and windows of the premises open – 2% Miscellaneous – growing the holy basil plant (tulsi) – 10%

Summary

Only spiritual practice that conforms to the 5 basic principles of Spirituality is a sustainable way to eradicate a ghost from the premises. The probability of an average exorcist/sorcerer/ psychic being able to remove ghosts is very low.

b. Moderate destiny: Cancer detected later when organic changes have well set in. Requires intense amount of spiritual practice (10-12 hours a day) on a regular basis.

c. Severe destiny: Cancer detected late after irreversible changes have set in and has terminal prognosis. Requires intense spiritual practice for a long time and the grace of a Saint or God.

3. Time of beginning spiritual practice

It is always advisable to initiate the spiritual practice early in life as a preventive measure against cancer. Depending on the time when one begins spiritual practice, one can either avoid a destined illness like cancer altogether or substantially reduce its intensity, which is directly proportional to the quality and quantity of spiritual practice done in relation to the severity of destiny.

4. Has organ degeneration occurred?

If organ degeneration has occurred, in almost all cases the changes cannot be reversed with spiritual remedies. The intensity of the illness can however reduce.

5. Give-and-take account with the doctor

By give and take account we mean sum total of positive and negative interplay of actions between two individuals as per the Law of Action (Karma). If the give-and-take account is negative, the doctor may overlook key aspects of the patient’s cancer thus extending the suffering. This is also why sometimes a patient can become even more ill which we may see as negligence on the doctor’s part. If the account is very positive then it would seem that the doctor has a golden touch. The give-and-take account is also the reason why we choose a certain doctor over another.

Summary

1. All major life threatening illnesses like cancer have a spiritual root cause and are destined.

2. The factors affecting cure of cancer are complex and understanding of modern medical science is limited to the physical and psychological dimension.

3. Complementing medical treatment with spiritual practice and spiritual healing remedies enhances cure rates or in cases of severe destiny at least helps to reduce the intensity of the illness.

100% cure is possible if both:

• 100% specific diagnosis of the spiritual root cause is done.

• 100% specific spiritual healing remedy is applied in required quantity and for the required time.

In all cases where a person has psychic abilities or is able to look into the future, it is generally a gift due to past-birth spiritual practice. How we use this gift can influence our spiritual journey and the region we go to after death.

Spiritual research on the reasons for Nostradamus’ gift

Before his life on Earth, he had done spiritual practice in the subtle region of Heaven (Swargaloka). Because of this spiritual practice, Nostradamus obtained two types of supernatural powers: Supernatural power of vision i.e. he could see visions of what was to happen in the future. Supernatural power of speech i.e. he could verbalise what was seen or heard through the subtle and it would come true.
Spiritual research on the reason for Nostradamus’ birth

People who have supernatural powers generally tend to use them for worldly reasons either for self or for society. According to Spiritual science, use of supernatural powers to orchestrate any fulfilment of worldly desires for people or to gain popularity can have negative effects on the person’s spiritual growth. It is for this reason that people who have supernatural powers are advised to use their powers for their further spiritual practice towards God-realisation and only under the guidance of a spiritually evolved guide (Guru). A Guru directs the student to utilise his spiritual powers towards realising God.

Nostradamus had to be born on Earth to rid himself of the sway/hold that his supernatural powers had over him. His spiritual goal was to obtain guidance about practicing Spirituality to continue his onward spiritual journey into the further positive regions.

Spiritual research on the life of Nostradamus from a spiritual perspective

Through the medium of his supernatural powers, Nostradamus made many accurate predictions. Many times, he would clearly hear or see the future through the medium of sound or visions. In the beginning of his career, three divine beings from the higher subtle regions would guide him. They did this through the medium of Nostradamus’ supernatural power of vision.

Over the years, Nostradamus became over ambitious and invested a lot of time in his gift of seeing the future. He would receive prior intimation of many events through his divine supernatural powers. As he would disclose what he saw, people would come to know of future perils and take measures to protect themselves against them. This infuriated the ghosts, as their plans to create problems for people would be foiled.

Spiritual research indicates that his personal life was steeped in internal sorrow, which the people around him may not have been aware of. In the beginning, by virtue of his supernatural power of vision, Nostradamus would receive knowledge through visions/scenes. Over time, he got carried away with his fame and the accolades of people.

This defect in his personality weakened him spiritually. Nostradamus used his wilful action (free will) to get further entrenched in his fascination for supernatural powers and his fame. As a result, he deprived himself of further spiritual practice on Earth. The effect of ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies etc.) only made matters worse. Slowly the stores of his spiritual practice from his previous lifetimes were depleted. In short, instead of using his time on Earth to do spiritual practice and attain a higher positive region, he regressed from the subtle region of Heaven to the subtle region of the Nether world after his life on Earth.

We often look at our lives from a very myopic viewpoint i.e. we are born, we live and then we die and there is nothing before or after that. However, according to Spiritual science, our life is but a part of a continuum of many lives from our first birth till we finally realise God or until our dissolution. In other words, we all come from God and finally have to go back to God. Every time we are born on Earth, it is an opportunity to make spiritual progress so as to move closer to our final goal i.e. becoming one with God. From the standpoint of spiritual growth, the opportunity to be born on Earth, if used well, can result in our rapid spiritual growth.

By donating the acquired wealth, one is liberated even from the thoughts of achievement and one makes progress faster. Bill Gates is an excellent example of this. He is an example of a great evolving soul.
