It is commonly accepted fact that we human beings are utilizing only a fraction of our mental potential. As one scientist sail, "probably 99% of human ability has been wholly wasted; even today, those of us who consider ourselves cultured and educated operate for most of our time as automatic machines and glimpse the profounder resources of our minds only once or twice in a lifetime."
It has taken evolution ten million years to equip us with an incredible brain with seemingly unlimited capacity, but we use only a minute part of it. We are like a small family of squatters who have taken over a vast palace but prefer to live in a corner of the basement.
The emphasis of Western civilization on external life, on the domination and mastery of nature, has produced monumental technological achievements, but it has exacted a price. It has almost totally ignored our inner experience, and the "Shrunken psyche" of human beings is now crying out for expansion. Thus, we see all over the world today feverish interest in spiritual disciplines and psychic powers, mind expanding drugs and mysticism, hypnosis and meditation, dreams and creativity. Humanity is becoming increasingly hungry for transcendence, and more and more people are embarking on an "inner odyssey" to realize their full potential and develop the tremendous powers hidden inside them. But as a contemporary biologist warned, "we must know where we are going, and how we are going to get there."
Where we are going, and how we are going to get there! If we are to journey into our inner spaces, we need a map of the realms to be explored. And we must learn how to travel.

Spiritual spirit comes from the very inner layer of our body. This is known as feeling of an individuals.
