Human beings have organs allowing them to grasp the realities of the invisible world and throughout time there have been people who have developed these organs. But because of their subtle nature it has never been possible to describe them, to represent them in the same way as the organs of the physical body. This is why every spiritual tradition has described them differently and called them different names, such as the pineal gland, the third eye, the chakras. But this is not important. What is important is knowing we all possess these subtle centres and they are as real as the organs of our physical body. And if these centres are no longer in working order in most people, it is because they have become too focused on the material, they have become too materialistic. Interest in psychic faculties is growing nowadays. All too often, however, the methods used are not the best and some concentration and visualisation exercises are even dangerous. Not to mention the use of drugs, based on recipes borrowed from the American Indians and the shamans of Siberia. Leave those methods to the people who have inherited them through thousands of years of tradition. They are not meant for us. You should work with the methods of wisdom and love, and try each day to triumph over your weaknesses. This is how you will activate all these subtle centres within you and they will put you in contact with the spiritual world.
