A group of spiritual seekers in Boone, North Carolina asked Gurudev about aliens, subtle realms, and departed souls. Here’s a snippet of the conversation:

Aliens and interwoven universes

Do aliens share our planet and if so, can you speak on this? 

The ancient scriptures say there are 14 worlds, 14 suns, and 14 solar systems. Ancient seers had these cognitions during meditation.

Ants, bees, and all the different species live in their own individual universes. Even inside you, there’s a whole universe of bacteria. Your intestine has 150,000 types of microbes. There are three different types of mites on your forehead, and they live within their own different boundaries. 

Our brain is only a frequency analyzer. We can only experience a certain bandwidth of light, and the same of sound. But beyond that, you can’t say what does or doesn’t exist. In fact, much more exists beyond this little bandwidth of ours.

Our perception, when it improves, can send us into another realm of our own self. 

Secrets of the subtle planes of existence

You teach that 99% of what’s going on is in the subtle realm. Can you describe what’s happening there?

Everything is going on there. All that’s happening happens on the subtle plane first. 

For example, hydrogen and oxygen are combustible. Oxygen is needed for fire and hydrogen is combustible. Together, they make water, which puts out fire. In the subtle, it’s happening. These two gasses come together and form water. 

Similarly, so many cells in your body are dying and being born every day! Your body is a maternity home as well as a burial ground. Everyday a funeral happens inside. And every day, new cells are born. 

There’s a beautiful verse in Sanskrit about how thoughts arise. When you speak a word, what are the mechanics of that? It says, when the being shakes hands with the intellect, and then allows a little bit of wind to pass through the vocal cord, and when there’s warmth and heat produced, that stimulates the brain and a word comes out of your mouth. 

There are four levels of speech. The words we speak are gross. But before that, they arise as faint ideas deep within. Beyond that, there are two more levels of feelings and vibrations which animals speak. Animals feel. A silent layer, with no language, generates all these thoughts, ideas, and feelings. That’s part of our very self or consciousness, with which the entire universe can communicate. 

A herd of wild elephants rampaged a whole banana plantation but left one tree untouched. They uprooted all the trees except one. In that tree was a nest of small birds. The elephants didn’t touch it or harm the birds in the nest. 

These animals are from very different species but they’re communicating. This opens the door to another universe. Creation has that intelligence and non-verbal communication. 

Visitation from departed souls

I was visited by somebody who had just passed away. Is that real or is it just my imagination?

Usually in one’s dream state, people who pass away visit. Don’t take it too seriously because our own minds’ impressions sometimes interfere. Our feelings of guilt, gratitude, love, hate, or whatever our emotions, hook onto them. 

Sometimes they express their wishes and desires in our dreams. In meditation also, we can experience a sense of fragrance or presence of the deceased.

In the third scenario, you may intentionally invite or invoke them. They make their presence felt. But there’s no criteria to prove it’s true or imagined. That’s why I say take it easy.
