Why do blessings work?
If the thought-form is directed towards another person, it will go to that person. Either of two effects may then result. (1) If in the aura of the person concerned there is material capable of responding sympathetically to the vibration of the thought-form, then the thought-form will remain near the person, or even in his aura, and, as opportunity serves, automatically discharge itself, thus tending to strengthen in the person that particular rate of vibration. If the person [Page 49] at whom a thought form is aimed happens to be busy, or already engaged in some definite train of thought, the thought form, being unable to discharge itself into the man’s mental body, which is already vibrating at a certain determinate rate, hangs in the vicinity until the man’s mental body is sufficiently at rest to permit its entrance, when it immediate discharges itself.
In doing this it will display what appears like a very considerable amount of intelligence and adaptability, though really it is a force acting a long the line of least resistance – pressing steadily in one direction all the time, and taking advantage of any channel that it can find. Such elementals can, of course, be strengthened and their life-period extended by repetition of the same thought.
If, on the other hand, there is in the person’s aura no matter capable of response, then the thought-form cannot affect it at all. It will therefore rebound from it, with a force proportional to the energy with which impinged upon it, and return to and strike its creator.
Thus, for example,the thought of the desire for drink could not enter the body of a purely temperate man. It would strike upon his astral body, but it could not penetrate and it would then return to the sender.
The old saying that “Curses (to which might be added blessings) come home to roost” conveys this truth and explains cases where, as many have known, evil thoughts directed to a good and highly advanced man affect such a man not at all, but re-act, sometimes with terrible and devastating effect, on their creator. Hence also the obvious corollary that a pure heart and mind are the best protection against inimical assaults of feeling and thought.
On the other hand, a thought-form of love and of desire to protect, strongly directed to some beloved objects, acts as a shielding and protecting agent : it will seek all opportunities to serve and defend, will [Page 50] strengthen friendly forces and weaken unfriendly ones, that impinge on the aura. It may protect its objects from impurity, irritability, fear, etc.
Friendly thoughts and earnest good wishes thus create and maintain what is practically a “guardian angel” always at the side of the person thought of, no matter where he may be. Many a mother’s thoughts and prayers, for example, have given assistance and protection to her child. They may often be seen by clairvoyants, and in rare cases they may even materialise and become physically visible.
It is thus apparent that a thought of love sent from one person to another involves the actual transference of a certain amount both of force and of matter from the sender to the recipient.
If the thought is sufficiently strong, distance makes absolutely no difference to it: but a weak and diffused thought is not effective outside a limited area.
Herein lies the highest and best part of the belief in answers to prayer. On the higher planes there is an infinite flood of force always ready and waiting to be poured through when a channel is offered. A thought of perfectly unselfish devotion provides such a channel, the grandest and noblest part of such a thought ascending to the Logos Himself. The response from Him is a descent of the divine life, resulting in a great strengthening and uplifting of the maker of the channel, and the spreading all about him of a powerful and beneficent influence, which flows through the reservoir that exists on the higher planes for the helping of mankind. It is this adding to the reservoir of spiritual force which is the truth in the catholic idea of works of supererogation. The Nirmânakâyas are especially associated with this great reservoir of force.
“May God Bless You!”
How many times have you blessed someone?
Receiving and giving a blessing can be described as two out of the world feelings!
But, why does it feel so good to give a blessing and to receive one?
Brahma Kumari Shivani ji talks about blessing and curse, as a thought. A thought, which may be good or evil.
Do blessings really work?
If they do, then do curses work too?
(blessing – now commonly used like a greeting, but it remains to be deep and of value only when its meant to be said)
Do you know what initiates a blessing and how does it work on the receiver?
Are blessings mere good thoughts about a person, or is there Divine intervention in these spoken words?
We give high regards to the blessings received from a Master, a guru or a devotee. Did you know, that we all are equally capable of blessing someone?
Arthur E. Powell, in his book The Astral Body says that, On the higher planes there is an infinite flood of force always ready and waiting to be poured through when a channel is offered.
This channel is no one else, but us. We choose to act as the channel for higher forces to flow through us, when we bless someone.
Did you know that you can choose to deny a curse and not let you affect at all?
And when you do so, this curse is redirected to the creator of the curse! Now let’s see how does that happen?
As we know a curse or a blessing are nothing but a form of thought that is created and directed to a person. This thought can bear two effects on the receiver:
- If a person’s aura has capable matter to respond to the emitted thought form, the person is likely to get affected. For example, a thought form sent out to hurt a person physically who is violent or careless in nature is like to get hurt. This effect can be delayed if the aura of the person is busy.
- If a person does not have capable matter to respond to the emitted thought form, this thought form bounces back with the same energy as it was emitted to its creator. This means that a person with no violent or careless attitude cannot be hurt and the thought of hurting them will strike on the creator of thought form! (elaborate)
- If a person’s aura has capable matter to respond to the emitted thought form, the person is likely to get affected. For example, a thought form sent out to hurt a person physically who is violent or careless in nature is like to get hurt. This effect can be delayed if the aura of the person is busy.
This reminds me of the old saying, “Curses come home to roost!”
This mechanism simply applies to the fact that, a curse directed towards a good and highly advanced person doesn’t affect him/her at all but has a devastating effect on its creator!
Hence, a pure heart and mind are the most powerful protection against any harm on ourselves!
On the other hand, a thought of love and protection sent out to a beloved one will find its way to serve, defend and will strengthen friendly thoughts and weaken unfriendly thoughts that reside in the aura.
There are few examples of these thought forms coming into effect in physical form or being visible to Clairvoyants.
- Talk about mother’s love and how it reflects
- Talk about blessings working without any distance barrier
- Examples of these blessings
- Talk about BK Shivani
- How blessing has become common and holds no value when said it without intentions
- A common man can also be a source of giving out a blessing or a curse
- Talk about different form of blessing or curse
- Describe role of astral body
- The outpour of energy and us acting as a medium – giving out blessings
- Conclusion
where does the power of blessings come down on us?
It is believed that on the higher planes there are ample amount of energy waiting to come down on lower planes. When someone blesses a person, this energy flows to the lower planes through the creator of blessing as a medium to transmit this energy.
Bk Shivani
In our day to day life, the value and deepness of blessing has diminished. When we usually say “God bless you” when someone sneezes it has zero to no value because there is not emotional connect or meaning to it. Similary when you wish someone a good day, most of the times its just out of courtesy and people don’t really mean it. When a blessing like this is given out, it contains no value to it as it was said with no intent.
A blessing to work has to felt deeply, with true intentions. Such a blessing will always make its way to serve the receiver.
- It is a spiritual cord which connects the individual from the divine energy.
- When it develops, it enables the person to reach the full potential of his/her astral life. All of this, while having full consciousness in his physical body.
2.distane as barrier of blessing
It is said that the power of blessing knows no distance. Blessings can be transmitted to the person who lives across the globe and will have the same effect as if they were close. But a weak form of thought, or a weak blessing will only be limited to an area.
