I am happy to write about these topics like ghosts and more. Of course, everybody who meets me after hearing only what we do has some expectations and many people simply assume that I believe in whatever they believe in.
However this is sometimes very far from what I believe because nowadays things like card reading, clairvoyance, other ways of fortune telling and generally a lot of ‘spiritual business’ is getting more and more popular in the west.
Unfortunately I see there and also here in India how this is supported even by the media. There are programs in which this kind of belief is taken advantage of. Someone is sitting in front of the camera, dressed like a good old-fashioned witch how you can read about in fairy-tales and in front of her a crystal ball, a set of cards, stones with runes or a chart with different colours and signs. At the bottom of the screen you see a number scrolling from right to left inviting you to dial for getting to know more about your future.
Suddenly a ringing tone sounds and the lady asks with a soft and somehow mysterious voice what the caller’s question is. No matter what the question is, there will be an answer, advice, a prediction and finally a warning of the future before the next caller is served.
I think media should become more responsible to reduce this kind of belief instead of making people more confused. The person who decides to run this show, does he really believe in it or does he only want to make money?
The media should make aware and educate people. I would like to ask everybody who watches or even calls at this kind of programs: what do you think how this works? Did you have to answer questions before you could talk with the fortune teller? Don’t you think that this could be the reason for the precise answers? Or think about the answers: couldn’t anybody make a vague guess towards the future after your question? Why would that woman be able to take a decision for you?
It is sad to see but it is easy to cheat people. I always tell people to listen inside themselves, to find out what their wish really is and to follow the heart. Please trust on yourself and believe me when I say that only god knows what the future will be.

In general, I don't believe in fortune telling. What could work, is a face-to-face-situation, when someone reads your face and tries to interprete your feelings. But this is also very imprecise. These TV-shows are only there for cheating people and taking advantages of their suffering and their confusedness.

This kind of thing is so crazy and annoys me so much. In Britain there is an advert telling you to text your name and your boyfriends name and they will tell you if it will last! In the advert the text comes back to the girl saying no so she throws her drink over the poor boy and walks off. What a fool! Only idiots use these stupid services.

While these TV programs are certainly trying to make a profit by scamming eager customers, I think there is great value in reading your own oracle cards. These days, spiritual companies produce oracle cards along with a guide book that describes the possible insights for each card. They don't necessarily predict your future, but they remind you to look at things from a certain perspective, or to let go of things that no longer serve you. For example, the cards might say "Create positive affirmations each day," or "Help from Heaven is on the way." It is up to each person to interpret what that means in his/her own life... which can't be false if you listen from deep within! I think its more valuable to do your own readings because it is a chance for the voice of your soul to come through. But the cards can be very helpful to strike up certain topics that you are unaware of at the moment. And its fun!

If I am god, you are god and we all are god, whom are you preaching to?
SourceReligion is like politics. It is a dictatorship with the Guru or leader being the dictator setting the rules. Start a spiritual revolution and come out of this suppression. Go towards real spirituality, towards democracy, where your voice is being heard.
SourceTake care to be in harmony with nature. Enjoy nature and be thankful for it. With thankfulness the respect for nature will become your basic attitude and then you will never have the idea to leave your garbage somewhere in a forest or pollute a river. Being in harmony with nature can make you happy.
SourceSome people who believe in reincarnation neglect their own responsibilities. There is always a very convenient excuse: that happens because of my past life!
SourceI cannot understand how anybody or any religion can see woman as second-rate. A woman brings you to this earth, how can she be less worth? Without her, how could you exist?
SourceOfficially, all Indians are virgins when they marry.
SourceThe Kumbh Mela was created by war, corruption, cheating, greed and the wish for immortality.
SourceDon’t let your ego keep you from saying sorry. It does not make you small to apologize. Overcome your ego and apologize for the wrong you did.
SourceWhenever you limit God to certain actions or places, corruption starts because there will be someone who owns the place or who sells services for getting closer to God.
SourceWhen you are happy you can make others happy! Like this you can spread happiness. Give something to others when you are satisfied yourself. That will increase your happiness even more.
SourceThe importance of religion is getting less and less.
SourceYou need to bring love and feelings into your work. Enjoy what you are doing, meet others with happiness and feelings instead of being like a stone. There are principles in business but they are man-made. Make love and feelings a part of those principles.
SourceDeath is the last event of our life and we should welcome it with open arms and a smile. Don't be afraid of life and don't be afraid of death.
SourceBe careful when a guru suggests to charge your mobile phone in front of his picture!
SourceIf you don’t have hopes, dreams and expectations you won’t be happy. Dream, hope, let your imagination fly and simultaneously use your brain, hands and feet in order to make your dreams become reality!
SourceIf you follow outdated scriptures, you would have to kill a ridiculous amount of people in our daily lives, most of the population would have a ‘painful doom’ and women would behave and be treated very wrong. It just does not fit anymore.
SourceOnly those who are not respectable can be disrespectful towards others because they don’t know the value of respect themselves.
SourceDifferent cultural background creates different perceptions of how children should be.
SourceCreate your perception with a free mind. Prejudiced ideas of other people's advices can prevent amazing experiences.
SourceApproaching a future friend does not work with expectations.
