Many Lives Many Masters : Mesmerized Me

I read a book by Dr. Brain Weiss lately -- "Many Lives Many Masters".

I recommend it to you all as well...will make you think hard on the lines I have been thinking --

Dr. Weiss takes a plunge into the past lives of one of her patients when he hypnotises her for the treatment of fears and anxiety she'd been through. And in doing so she also reveals a lot about Dr. Weiss.
Apart from this he also connects with the spirits in the space who gives him the knowledge one needs to gather to achieve salvation. I do not know to what extent the events in the book are true but it still makes me ponder over things which are unfathomable. For example what was the all knowledge about Buddha received and from whom to reach the state called "Salvation". SPACE AND ROCKET SCIENCE IS NOT WHAT EXISTED THEN.

During the Vipassana Camp I attended at Sarnath, we were shown one of the video tapes by S N Goyenka ji who tells that BUDDHA are called those people who attain the state of knowledge Buddha attained. And that there have been many buddha's after buddha. Lord Buddha never preached the region but probably he preached how to attain how to attain salvation. But still he never talked about what that knowledge is all about.

We probably live different lives around a set of souls whom we owe something or they owe us some things. Imagine why sometimes somebody totally unknown gives you favour(e.g. which can be a lift in a vehicle or a help of any sort) who's life shall never intersect with yours ever again at any cross road at least in this life time. And some strangers shall inflict something(pain or wound or a mark or snatching something from you)and you may have to live with or without it through out your life.

I believe our mind alone can open up this mystery and if you open it up its only for your own use.One cannot pass on this information to people and you can only show them the path or process to achieve it,as probably Buddha did. Still what I say has no grounds what so ever and I myself do not know what makes me think so.

Our sub concious mind may hold the key...let me give it a pause here...a better crap thought has just got into my head...

...I'm reminded of the matrix-trilogy where all the people are programmed to live a useless world living a useless life where they enjoy the tastes of the food which is'nt real...and joys and worldly pleasures(dine and wine and 69...wont go into refinements). Only a few knew the reality or the truth or had the knowledge or salvation and it was this probably NEO(the protagonist) achieved at the end...or becomes buddh...and dies...but that was a movie.
