This episode covers the next section of chapter 15 from:
“Intuition is soul guidance, appearing naturally in man...”
to
“...indignant that anyone should dare to experiment further.”

Summary:
Our friend Shiraz joins us as we explore the concepts of intuition, willpower, the role of the heart in receiving and transmitting information, and the importance of self-responsibility and working on oneself to attract positive thoughts. The profound implications of radio and television technology is not often discussed today but we take some time to review it, as described by Sri Yukteswar and Paramahansa Yogananda. We also bring in Guruji’s amusing anecdote of the British parliamentary system, King Ego and the influence of Prime Minister ignorance on the body's functions, and the importance of understanding and appreciating the simple things in life.
