Hello everyone, as I don't write anything here since a while and as I'm seeing this blog having some visits I will share my thoughts on a topic I find interesting.
Something that the regular person doesn't know in our modern world, especially in the Western cultures, is the influence of the non-human world in the actual human world. In the Indian and Nepalese cultures there are several kinds of non-human beings. Some of these are devas, yakṣas, nāgas, asuras, etc. Each of these categories of beings has a role that is performed in this world. Some of these beings are very powerful, others are average, and others don't have much power.
In our daily lives, I believe that the non-human beings that will interact more with us are those who aren't powerful. The more common will be the bhūtas and pretas. So this dimension of the world has an active influence in our daily worldly activities, being from small to a major influence.
In the ancient Indian and Nepalese cultures, it's believed that there's a constant battle between the forces of good and evil. This battle of good against evil has different layers. This battle happens within every being and it's reflected externally in our daily lives in the balance between the different forces.
In the heart of each being there are the forces of good and the forces of evil. So the inner evil will be the main force to defeat instead of the external evil. Because the external evil comes from the inner evil.
So in the non-human human world there's also this battle of good against evil. In turn this will influence the actual human world.
These non-human entities can influence the minds of humans, they also can create sicknesses. In the ancient medical sciences, like the Indian Ayurveda, it's said that some illnesses are caused by non-human beings.
Some psychiatric illnesses, according to Tibetan medicine, are caused by non-human beings.
In my opinion, it's good for us regular people to be aware of this. With that we will be more cautious in our daily actions, we will choose a good lifestyle, so that we can be successful in our pursuits while following the white path of goodness.
