These are the opening lines of Surah 75:1-2 Al-Qiyamah (The
Resurrection) which proclaims that during the Resurrection the Spirit
of God Almighty will rebuke and guide the individual self. This
guidance is in the form of 'catches' to correct the individual from
straying, a reality SYs can attest to.

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
    

 

 

"Even Muhammad Sahib has said that at the Time of Resurrection your hands will speak. Exactly this happens, that when you get your Realization, when the Kundalini comes up, and She touches the seat of God here. Immediately in your heart the reflection of God starts emitting cool vibrations from your hands also. When it starts happening you are amazed that all around you feel the subtle Power of God, the Power of His Love, what we call the All-Pervading Brahma, what we call the Chaitanya."

The Messiah-Paraclete-Ruh-Devi
Cardiff, U.K. — August 8, 1984


It is indeed sad to see so many SYs constantly 'sick' and 'diseased'
by "the subtle Power of God, the Power of His Love, what we call the
All-Pervading Brahma, what we call the Chaitanya." How can this be
when The Mother Kundalini and Chaitanya are supposed to heal with love and gentleness?

i have no idea what is causing them all these catches that require so
much shoe-beating, footsoaking, candling, chilli, lemon and matka
treatments, to name the major treatments. It is just like an outbreak mass hysteria and i think explaining this condition may help:

"Mass hysteria is characterized by the rapid spread of conversion
disorder, a condition involving the appearance of bodily complaints
for which there is no organic basis. In such episodes, psychological
distress is converted or channeled into physical symptoms. There are
two common types: anxiety hysteria and motor hysteria. The former is of shorter duration, usually lasting a day, and is triggered by the
sudden perception of a threatening agent, most commonly a strange
odor. Symptoms typically include headache, dizziness, nausea,
breathlessness, and general weakness. Motor hysteria is prevalent in
intolerable social situations such as strict school and religious
settings where discipline is excessive. Symptoms include trance-like
states, melodramatic acts of rebellion known as histrionics, and what
physicians term "psychomotor agitation" (whereby pent-up anxiety
built up over a long period results in disruptions to the nerves or
neurons that send messages to the muscles, triggering temporary bouts of twitching, spasms, and shaking). Motor hysteria appears gradually over time and usually takes weeks or months to subside (Wessely 1987; Bartholomew and Sirois 1996). The term mass hysteria is often used inappropriately to describe collective delusions, as the overwhelming majority of participants are not exhibiting hysteria, except in extremely rare cases. In short, all mass hysterias are collective delusions as they involve false or exaggerated beliefs, but only rarely do collective delusions involve mass hysteria as to do so, they must report illness symptoms.

Many factors contribute to the formation and spread of collective
delusions and hysterical illness: the mass media; rumors;
extraordinary anxiety or excitement; cultural beliefs and
stereotypes; the social and political context; and reinforcing
actions by authorities such as politicians, or institutions of social
control such as the police or military. Episodes are also
distinguishable by the redefinition of mundane objects, events, and
circumstances and reflect a rapidly spreading folk belief which
contributes to an emerging definition of the situation."

All mass hysterias are collective delusions as they involve false or
exaggerated beliefs.
