The
Unseen Orders: A Personal Journey Through Spirits, Powers, and the Afterlife
Without God
By [Gorila]
Part 1: The
Seeds of the Unexplained
Chapter 1:
The Normal Life and the Whispers of the Beyond
My life, on the surface, might appear
unremarkable. I navigate the modern world, spending my days immersed in the
logic and structure of digital marketing and web development. Code, algorithms,
user experience, market trends – these are the languages I speak. I believe in
data, in cause and effect that can be scientifically measured, and in a
universe that largely operates on understandable principles. Like many, I've
always held a casual, intellectual curiosity about concepts like karma and
reincarnation. They were fascinating ideas, philosophical constructs from
ancient traditions, but nothing that fundamentally challenged my perception of
a reality built on tangible, provable elements. I read about them, watched
documentaries, and engaged in abstract discussions, but these were distant
concepts, far removed from the tangible world I inhabited.
Yet, lurking beneath this veneer of normalcy,
there was always a persistent, almost imperceptible whisper of something else.
It wasn't a philosophical musing or a distant theory; it was a deeply
unsettling intuition born from experiences that simply refused to fit into the
logical boxes of my scientifically inclined mind. This book is an attempt to
grapple with that fundamental question: how can deeply personal, unexplainable
experiences shatter a purely materialistic worldview and force one to confront
the possibility of a reality far more complex and populated than we dare to
imagine?
My journey wasn't initiated by a spiritual
quest or a search for enlightenment. It began with moments of profound
disorientation, instances where the fabric of reality seemed to ripple and
reveal something profoundly "other." These weren't fleeting glimpses
or ambiguous sensations; they were vivid, undeniable events that defied every
rational explanation I possessed. And it is through these bewildering
encounters that I began to forge a personal cosmology, one that accepts the
undeniable reality of non-physical entities, their distinct
"societies," and their potent influence on our lives, even if it
means questioning the very nature of what we call "God."
Chapter 2:
The Oracle of the Old Lady
The year was [redacted], and I was sixteen.
Like any teenager, my world revolved around studies (or the avoidance thereof),
friends, and the nascent stirrings of independence. It was during this time
that I had an encounter that would forever embed a seed of the inexplicable in
my consciousness.
An old lady, whom I had never seen before,
came to our house. She wasn't a family friend or a distant relative; she was a
stranger in every sense of the word. Yet, within moments of her presence, she
began to speak. And what she spoke about sent shivers down my spine, chilling
me far more deeply than any ghost story ever could. She began to recount my
recent misdeeds with unnerving accuracy: "You are not studying at night,
but watching TV." This alone was unsettling, as it was a clandestine activity
I indulged in after my parents believed I was asleep. But then she added a
detail that stole my breath: "You have a black small TV... and you watch
lingerie shows on it at midnight."
My jaw must have dropped. This was not general
knowledge. This was specific, intimate, and something no outsider could
possibly know. We did have a small, black television set in my room, and
yes, my late-night habit involved illicitly watching FTV's lingerie shows. The
shock was profound, bordering on terrifying. How could she know? She had never
visited our home, never spoken to me, and had no conventional means of
acquiring such private information.
Then, she began to tell her own story, a
narrative that offered a potential, albeit extraordinary, explanation for her
uncanny insight. She was a poor laborer from a village, an uneducated rural
woman who had experienced immense sorrow. Despite being married, she had been
unable to bear children, and all her attempts had ended in tragedy, with her
babies dying shortly after birth. She was heartbroken, burdened by what felt
like an inescapable curse.
One sweltering day, while toiling in the
fields, a sadhu, a wandering holy man, approached her and asked for drinking
water. Despite her meager circumstances and her own suffering, she offered him
water with genuine kindness. Grateful, the sadhu observed her sadness and asked
her why she was so despondent. She poured out her heart, speaking of her
inability to be a mother. The sadhu, moved by her plight and his generosity,
then gave her a mantra. He instructed her to chant it with unwavering devotion.
And then, the miraculous happened. After years
of heartbreak, she conceived and, defying all her previous tragic experiences,
bore not just one child, but seven healthy children. The mantra, she believed,
had changed her fate. But the sadhu's boon didn't stop there. According to her,
that same mantra, given to her by the sadhu, had also granted her the
"occult powers" she now possessed – the very powers that allowed her
to see into my secret life.
For me, this conversation was a revelation. It
offered a tangible, albeit supernatural, explanation for what I had just
witnessed. It introduced me to the idea that power could be transferred, that
unseen forces could operate in the world, and that human actions (like the old
lady's simple kindness) could invite profound, extraordinary interventions. The
experience left me with an undeniable sense that reality was far more malleable
and mysterious than I had ever dared to consider.
Chapter 3:
The Sadhu of the Hills: A Glimpse into the Other Side
The memory of the old lady’s inexplicable
knowledge was still a fresh wound in my understanding of the world, but it
wasn't the first time the veil had parted for me. Five years earlier, in 1994,
when I was just eleven years old, I had an encounter that, in retrospect, was
far more shocking because I had no framework, no context, no existing spiritual
belief to interpret it. It was a raw, unfiltered confrontation with something
profoundly "other."
My family and I were on a pilgrimage to
Vaishnodevi, a revered temple nestled high in the Trikuta Mountains. We were
traveling in a Maruti Omni van, a popular, boxy vehicle known for its
spaciousness. My father, in true Indian ingenuity, had removed the passenger
seats in the back and laid down mattresses, transforming it into a cozy, if
crowded, sleeping area. There were eleven of us in total – my immediate family,
cousins, and other relatives.
I was sitting by a wide, sliding side window,
gazing out at the scenery. The roads to Vaishnodevi are famous for their
treacherous, winding turns, carved into the side of hills, often with sheer
drops. At that time of day, it was incredibly desolate. There were no other
vehicles, no houses, not even a stray animal in sight. The sun was high,
perhaps 10:30 or 11:30 AM, casting a brilliant, almost blinding, light on the
barren, rocky landscape.
As the van navigated a particularly sharp
bend, my eyes scanned the empty terrain. And then I saw him. Standing by the
side of the road, in the middle of absolutely nowhere, was a sadhu. He was
unmistakable in his bright orange robe, typical of Hindu ascetics. He held a
small cup in his hand, as if enjoying a morning brew. A wave of mild surprise
and happiness washed over me – after so long, to see another human being in
such an isolated place!
But then, the scene shifted, abruptly and
horrifically. The sadhu, still clearly visible, suddenly kneeled down
and began to lick the spilled tea from the road like a dog.
My young mind struggled to process it. It was
utterly, grotesquely out of place. This was a revered holy man, yet he was
performing an act of almost animalistic degradation. My eyes widened, a cold
knot forming in my stomach. I instinctively wanted to show my sisters, who were
sitting opposite me. I tracked the bizarre activity through the sliding window,
then through the smaller, triangular pane just behind it, and then, as the van
continued its turn, through the large rear windows of the Omni van. He remained
perfectly visible, his orange orange robe a stark contrast against the gray
road, still engaged in that unspeakable act.
"Look! Look!" I urgently whispered,
trying to get my sisters' attention, pointing frantically. But as I turned my
head back to the window, the spot where he had been standing was empty.
He was gone. Disappeared. Vanished into thin air, on a road that offered no
hiding place.
The profound unsettling feeling from that
moment has never left me. My brain, even now, cannot conjure up such a
specific, bizarre, and utterly out-of-context image. It wasn't something I had
ever seen in a movie, read in a comic, or heard in a story. It felt real
because it was so impossibly unreal by conventional standards. At
eleven, with no prior spiritual leanings or knowledge of the occult, my
immediate, visceral conclusion was that this was not a normal human being. It
was a spirit, a non-physical entity, deliberately performing something so
strange as to clearly convey its non-human nature. This incident, occurring
before my encounter with the old lady, was the true genesis of my deep-seated
conviction that "something" exists beyond the purely physical, and
that it can interact with our world in ways we cannot comprehend.
Chapter 4:
The Tabiz and the Fever: A Tangible Warning
Years later, when I was around seventeen,
another incident occurred that cemented my belief in the tangible, and
sometimes perilous, influence of the unseen. This experience was different from
the others; it wasn't just an observation of the inexplicable, but a direct,
physical consequence of dabbling, however innocently, in the realm of the
occult.
We had rented out a small room in our house to
a Bangladeshi immigrant, a Unani medicine doctor. He was a kind, affable man,
quite fond of me given our age difference (he was about 34, I was 17). He ran a
small clinic, and we developed a friendly relationship. His sister, he
mentioned, lived in his village near Saharanpur and was handicapped, which he
vaguely attributed to her involvement in occult practices. The exact
cause-and-effect remained unclear to me – was she handicapped because of the
occult, or did she turn to it because of her condition? The ambiguity itself
was unsettling.
One day, in his usual friendly manner, the
doctor offered to make a tabiz (an amulet or charm, common in South
Asian folk traditions) for me. He instructed me to buy saffron, specifying a
particular shop nearby that sold it. My friend and I went to the shop, and I
returned with a small, round plastic box containing a single strand of saffron
– a precious, fragrant spice used in many traditional practices.
The doctor then proceeded with the ritual. He
placed the saffron in the box, added a few drops of water, and rubbed it to
create a thick, golden ink. From a special, small wooden piece, which he
claimed was made of mango wood and was "very special," he pulled out
a pen-like tool. On small, white paper chits – the kind doctors in India use to
write out prescriptions for compounders – he meticulously drew the familiar
nine-box matrix, a grid common in numerology and mystical diagrams. Within each
box, he carefully inscribed certain letters in Urdu. He then held the chits,
blew air from his mouth, silently chanted something, and folded each chit into
a neat triangle.
He handed me three folded chits with specific
instructions: "Keep one in your study area, one in your wallet, and one in
the place where you worship." I followed his directions, feeling a mix of
curiosity and mild apprehension, and then went to sleep.
The next morning, I awoke with a high fever.
It wasn't just a slight temperature; it was intense, making me feel utterly
drained and unwell. I immediately went to the doctor, who, perhaps not making
the connection, gave me some strong medicines. But the fever persisted,
stubbornly refusing to break.
As the day wore on, a thought began to gnaw at
me: Why did this fever happen so suddenly? I was perfectly fine before.
And then it clicked. The tabiz. The occult practice. The doctor's
sister. All the pieces fell into place. I felt an undeniable, intuitive
certainty that the fever was directly linked to the charm.
Without hesitation, I retrieved all three
chits – from my study table, my wallet, and my small worship area – and, with a
sense of urgency, threw them into the gutter outside. I returned to my room,
still feeling miserable with the fever. But within half an hour, to my utter
astonishment, the fever began to subside. In another hour, it was completely
gone.
This incident left an indelible mark. It was
direct, irrefutable proof to me that unseen forces could have immediate and
tangible effects on my physical being. It didn't matter that I intellectually
disbelieved in the specific religious framework (Islam) associated with the tabiz;
the outcome was real. This experience hammered home a stark conclusion: the
power of the occult, and by extension, the spirits or entities that operate
within it, is undeniably real. It solidified my conviction that while the
"gods" of various religions might be debatable, the presence and
influence of spirits are concrete facts of existence. It was a tangible warning
about the double-edged nature of such powers and the need to understand them.
Part 2:
Forging a New Cosmology
Chapter 5:
Spirits Are Real, Gods Might Be Fake: The Core Hypothesis
The preceding chapters have laid bare the raw,
unfiltered experiences that ripped through the fabric of my conventional
understanding of reality. These were not intellectual exercises or
philosophical debates; they were visceral encounters that left me with an
undeniable, unshakeable truth: spirits, or some form of non-physical
entities, are real. The old lady's clairvoyance, the vanished sadhu, and
the debilitating fever directly linked to the tabiz—each incident, in
its own startling way, defied the neat, materialist explanations I had been
taught.
This realization led me to a radical, yet to
me, logical, deduction: if spirits exist, then they operate according to their
own rules, whether or not they align with the theological narratives of human
religions. My experience with the tabiz, given by a Unani doctor and
associated with an Islamic tradition that I personally did not believe in, was
perhaps the most crucial turning point. The tabiz worked. The fever was
real, and its sudden departure upon the charm's removal was too immediate and
precise to be mere coincidence. This wasn't about faith in a specific deity; it
was about the tangible power of a non-physical intervention.
Therefore, I began to hypothesize that God,
in the traditional sense of an omnipotent, benevolent, or even universally true
divine being, might be a construct of human belief, a comforting story, or a
specific lens through which certain spiritual forces are interpreted. But
the spirits themselves? They exist, regardless. They are a fundamental,
undeniable aspect of reality, present across all cultures and all perceived
religious boundaries.
This core hypothesis forms the bedrock of my
cosmology. It implies that consciousness, or at least some essential aspect of
a being, persists beyond the death of the physical body. It suggests that what
we perceive as paranormal phenomena, as well as the abilities of various
spiritual practitioners, are not miracles from a singular divine source, but
rather interactions within a complex, non-physical realm populated by these
persistent entities. The existence of these spirits, their ability to interact with
our world, and their apparent independence from human religious doctrines, is
the central pillar around which my understanding of the unseen orders
has been built. It's a pragmatic, experiential approach to spirituality,
grounded in direct observation rather than inherited dogma.
Chapter 6:
The Afterlife as a Social Landscape: Spirit Gangs and Terrors
If spirits are real, and if they retain
aspects of their earthly identity, then what happens to them after death? My
observations and deductions led me to a chilling, yet internally consistent,
theory: the afterlife, at least for many, isn't a realm of serene bliss or
universal judgment by an all-powerful deity. Instead, it mirrors some of the
darker, more brutal aspects of our own world, particularly in its power
dynamics and social structures. I believe that once a person dies, their
individual consciousness, or some persistent aspect of their being, either
ceases to exist (a concept that my experiences made increasingly difficult to
accept) or, more terrifyingly, becomes stuck in a spirit or ghost life.
And within this "stuck" existence,
an unsettling truth emerges: religious affiliations don't dissolve with the
body. If you lived as a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian, or any other faith,
that identity persists into the non-physical realm. And just like on Earth,
where groups organize for protection or power, so too do spirits form
"gangs" based on their religious backgrounds.
This explains a phenomenon commonly seen in
folklore and media: the spirit "stuck" in a desolate place or a
haunted house, seemingly unable to leave. Why would a non-physical entity, free
from the constraints of a body, limit itself to a single location? My theory
suggests it's out of fear. These spirits, if they are not part of an organized
"gang," are vulnerable. There is no police, no overarching
jurisdiction, no divine law enforcement to protect them. All they have are
two terrifying options: either attempt to join a gang (if they are accepted) or
face continuous torment, potentially even "perishing" in some
non-physical sense.
The methods of this spiritual torture become
clearer when considering what spirits are believed to perceive. While many
accounts suggest spirits can see, hear, and smell, they often cannot speak.
This limitation is key. If spirits don't like loud noises, for instance, then
sound could be used as a deliberate tool of torment by these gangs. And how can
one spirit torture another? This was a question that nagged at me until I began
to connect it with real-world observations. In videos from places like Bageshwar
Dham, I often hear the leader commanding unseen entities: "Senapati, beat
him using the chimta!" The chimta (fire tongs) is a physical
object, but the "beating" is clearly happening in a non-physical
dimension, indicating that these spirit gangs have enforcers and methods of
inflicting suffering, even if it's not a physical blow in our sense. This isn't
just an idea I'm making up; it's explicitly depicted and stated as happening.
This spiritual landscape, therefore, is a Hobbesian nightmare – a war of all
against all for the unaligned, where protection is only found within the
confines of a powerful group.
Chapter 7:
The Intermediaries: Human Leaders and Spirit Alliances
Given this grim reality of the spirit world,
the role of human spiritual leaders takes on a new, pragmatic significance.
Figures like Bageshwar Dham Baba, Maulanas, and priests, who are widely
believed to deal with "ghost problems" or "spirit
possessions," aren't just engaging in religious ritual or prayer. Instead,
in my cosmology, they are leveraging existing alliances and power dynamics
within these spirit "gangs."
Consider the phenomenon of Bageshwar Dham and
his "Parcha" writing. Millions of followers flock to him, and even
individuals of immense global influence, like Anant Ambani, extend
extraordinary efforts to bring him to their events. Ambani, who seemingly lacks
for nothing, flew Bageshwar Dham on a private jet across continents, for an
event, and then back to ensure he met his next engagement. This level of
dedication isn't driven by a desire for money or luxury, which Ambani already
possesses in abundance. It's driven by a need for something else
entirely—something that Bageshwar Dham, uniquely, can provide.
My theory posits that this value lies in
Bageshwar Dham’s distinct connection to a particular category of spirit: the Brahm
Baba. As I've observed from various "occult" videos and anecdotal
accounts, there are different types of spirits, and Brahm Baba is one such
specific category. These aren't the philosophical Hindu Brahmans or the essence
of the universe; they are, in fact, spirits who specifically "work for
Pandits." They are often referred to as "Sanyasi Baba," and
their traditional abode is believed to be on Peepal trees, which are commonly
found outside temples across India. We are even instructed to offer sweetened
water to these trees, typically once a week, with virgin girls often prohibited
from doing so, perhaps due to specific purity regulations in appealing to these
spirits.
These Brahm Babas are said to be the spirits
of Pandits who, during their earthly lives, were devoted to Lord Hanuman and
Lord Ram and served tirelessly in temples until their death. Now, in the
non-physical realm, they possess unique capabilities. They are the ones who can
help a spiritual leader "write the famous Parcha"—the accurate
revelations of a devotee's past, present, and unspoken future that Bageshwar
Dham is known for. He himself often invokes "Jai Sanyasi Baba," and
explicitly states that his grandfather used to have a temple with the blessings
of Brahm Baba, and upon his grandfather's passing, this specific spirit's
"service" or "blessing" was verbally transferred to
Bageshwar Dham. It's a formal declaration, much like a legal inheritance in our
world, signifying an ongoing alliance.
Therefore, when Bageshwar Dham commands his
"Senapati" to "beat" a spirit, he isn't acting alone. He's
leveraging the power of these allied spirit gangs, headed by figures like Brahm
Baba, to influence or control other spirits. This explains why many individuals
who "write Parcha" belong to the Pandit clan—because Brahm Baba works
specifically for Pandits. While Brahm Baba can bless anyone who goes to a
temple and pours sweetened water at a Peepal tree, their direct assistance and
specific powers are primarily channeled through their designated human
intermediaries. This intricate system of alliances, protections, and leveraged
power is, in my view, how the world's religious figures "fix the
ghost-on-you problem." They don't necessarily banish spirits into
nothingness; they manage and negotiate with them within the established power
structures of the spirit world.
Part 3:
Reflections and Implications
Chapter 8:
Living in a Multilayered Reality
The journey from a purely materialistic
understanding of the universe to the complex cosmology I now embrace has been
deeply personal and, at times, profoundly challenging. My initial disbelief in
anything beyond the tangible was shattered by experiences that defied rational
explanation, forcing me to confront the existence of an unseen order.
The old lady who knew my secrets, the vanishing sadhu on the desolate road, and
the immediate, physical reaction to the tabiz were not figments of
imagination; they were stark, undeniable realities that demanded a new
framework for understanding.
This shift in perspective has fundamentally
changed how I view the world. No longer can I dismiss phenomena like psychic
abilities, spiritual healing, or even alleged possessions as mere superstition
or psychological delusion. Instead, I see them as interactions within a
complex, multilayered reality. The world we perceive with our five senses
is just one dimension; coexisting with it is a vibrant, intricate non-physical
realm, teeming with conscious entities – spirits.
My theory about religiously-aligned spirit
"gangs," their hierarchies, and the specific types of spirits like
Brahm Baba, provides a pragmatic lens through which to interpret many otherwise
inexplicable events. It offers a chilling, yet coherent, explanation for why
some spirits might be "stuck" in certain locations, fearing
retribution from rival "gangs" if they venture out unprotected. It
also recontextualizes the role of religious figures: they are not just
spiritual guides for the living, but powerful intermediaries capable of
negotiating, commanding, or aligning with specific factions within the spirit
world. This explains why an influential figure like Bageshwar Dham holds such
sway; his perceived power isn't abstract, but rooted in tangible alliances and
the ability to access information and exert influence in this unseen domain.
This cosmology challenges the conventional
scientific materialist worldview, which often struggles to account for such
anomalies. It suggests that consciousness is not merely an emergent property of
the brain, but a fundamental aspect of existence that persists beyond physical
death. This leads to the profound implication that perhaps many human
behaviors, psychological states, and even societal structures are, in part,
reflections or consequences of these ongoing spirit dynamics. For instance,
collective anxieties, inexplicable misfortunes, or even moments of uncanny good
fortune might have roots in the intricate, unseen battles and alliances playing
out in the spirit world. Living in this new understanding means constantly
being aware of these subtle influences, recognizing that our lives are not just
shaped by material circumstances, but by the unseen forces that surround us,
and perhaps, by the karmic imprints carried forward from past existences within
this complex spiritual landscape.
Chapter 9:
Beyond the Veil: Unanswered Questions and Personal Truth
As I conclude this exploration of my personal
cosmology, it's essential to acknowledge that while my experiences have
provided me with a coherent framework, they have also opened up a vast realm of
unanswered questions. The world of the unseen, even within my specific theory,
remains shrouded in mystery.
For instance, what is the ultimate fate of
those spirits who are "perished" by the gangs? Do they simply cease
to exist, or do they transition into another, perhaps more primal, state of
being? How are these spirit "gangs" truly formed and maintained? Are
their leaders benevolent, or are they simply powerful entities operating for
their own ends? And while I've moved away from the concept of a single,
omnipotent God, does this mean there is no higher intelligence, no ultimate
principle guiding the universe? Or is there simply a more complex, distributed
form of consciousness that we, in our limited understanding, categorize as
"spirits" or "forces"?
My journey has been one of moving from rigid
disbelief to a unique understanding, built on the bedrock of undeniable
personal experience. It has taught me that truth is not always found in
widely accepted doctrines or scientific consensus, but sometimes in the raw,
uncomfortable reality of what we personally encounter. The
"proof" for me isn't in ancient texts or laboratory experiments, but
in the specific, unexplainable events that marked my life.
This book is not an attempt to convert anyone
to my specific beliefs. Rather, it is an offering of a personal journey – a
testimony to the profound impact of inexplicable phenomena and the subsequent
intellectual and spiritual quest to make sense of them. It's an invitation to
consider that perhaps the reality we inhabit is far more intricate, more alive
with unseen forces, and more responsive to subtle influences than we typically
allow ourselves to believe. The veil between the physical and non-physical is
thinner than we imagine, and once you glimpse what lies beyond, your
understanding of existence is forever transformed. The curiosity that was
sparked by a chilling whisper, a bizarre sight, and a sudden fever, continues
to guide me as I navigate this endlessly fascinating, multilayered reality.
