Amma, India's Hugging Saint, who has hugged an impossibly-sounding 40 million people, says the best salve for mental distress and illness is to read stories of the saints. Premasudha says the whole human race is in an evolutionary leap into higher consciousness and these stories help us make the shift. Conventional medicine denies these spiritual realities and gives us drugs, which just reinforces our fairly low level focus on concrete reality.

Alma says if you're feeling unstable,

Well she said really the cure for mental illness is to read books about the saints.

Okay now this makes perfect sense to me because emotional distress or mental illness is it's happening because we're in the middle of a quantum leap into a higher understanding.

So the transition is very uncomfortable.

So our culture pushes this back down to the concrete reality and gives us pills.

So we're going backwards.

The universe is asking us to go right through it to peace.

And this is part of why I'm saying read books that inspire you.

Read the saints.

I read that stuff you know.

I read all these books that just anything to keep my mind up to keep my faith up.
