In the Orient (this includes India & it's neighbours, other ASEAN member countries, Korea (both of them) and Japan psychical research has been going on for countless centuries. The only reason this has never been publicly disclosed is the taboo associated with the worh "Psychic".

The so called scientific community that harps on it's open minded approach does not take kindly to such research and that is the only reason for this esoteric science being driven deeper into hiding.

The enormous power of the human mind in it's supra-conscious state is but known to a very few adepts who live in isolation. Supra-conscious state is a state in which the body, mind and the spirit are one with the supreme being. In Indian philosophy, this state is called NIRVANA by some, Nirvikalp Samadhi by some and Moksha by some.

There are different schools (panthas) each with it's own methods & practices to achieve the ultimate blissful state of the mind where the Human mind and the Supreme Being are ONE. Each School of Psychical Practice (Yogic Kriyas) however has it's ultimate goal of liberating the soul from all ties (physical, emotional or otherwise) by unique methods/kriyas.

Readers can refer any book on Patanjal Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Buddhism, Jainism, Sufism, etc., for more information.

Question: how is this a "secret" society? They have a web page, which includes a street address, phone number, and a link to a membership page. Should they be described as a secret society? What are they keeping secret? Jonathan Versen 09:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
