Baba Faqir Chand

I found this writing about Baba Faqir Chand very interesting. Its about the same subject as the film that was assigned as well. Faqir discovered after many many years of meditation that people don't really see visions or spirits appear for them. We always hear about people claiming that they saw God or some kind of spirit that came to help them in their time of need but according to Faqir Chand this is not real. He said that what these people are really seeing is made up in their mind and they believe it to be real. It makes sense because it is just like what the author of the Himalayan Connection said.
They are just hallucinations that people think are real events. If someone is in real trouble or they need desperate help it makes sense that they would imagine some spirit or powerful force coming to them to help. Just like when Faqir Chand said that people would tell him that they were in danger and he came and gave them advice that saved their life, it wasn't really him there. In fact he didn't even remember that happening, but these people imagined him there and it was really them helping themselves.
