Le affinità karmiche sono alla base delle nostre relazioni, ma sono soprattutto i rapporti familiari, il nucleo e l'ambiente in cui nasciamo ad avere una forte influenza sulla nostra educazione e sul nostro vissuto. Durante questo seminario, Marco Ferrini si è soffermato sui legami sottili e affettivi all'interno della famiglia, portando in luce come i samskara (engramma psichici nella visione della Tradizione Indovedica) dei genitori e dell'ambiente collettivo in cui vivono, attirino esseri a loro affini nell'atto della procreazione.

Una delle cose che più ha messo nell'imbarazzo i dotti ricercatori e studiosi della storia dell'umanità è il persistente ricorrere di racconti, leggende e tradizioni riferentisi al possesso e all'uso di qualche forma di potere psichico presso uomini di tutte le razze e di tutti i tempi. Questi ricercatori hanno spiegato molto facilmente le più primitive forme di questi racconti col ritenerli semplicemente il risultato delle più grossolane forme di superstizione dei popoli primitivi.

L'investigatore non è costretto a ricorrere a spiegazioni metafisiche per spiegare i fenomeni dell'Influenza Mentale. I fatti stessi della scienza fisica, se giustamente interpretati, daranno l'indizio del mistero; e indicheranno ai passi dell'onesto investigatore il sentiero dove potrà trovare la soluzione del perplesso enigma. Anche se sappiamo che la vera soluzione si trova nel regno metafisico, tuttavia anche la scienza fisica corroborerà i fatti della sua scienza sorella metafisica, e invece di contraddire quest'ultima, in realtà andrà lontano verso la fornitura di fatti.

Come si spiega altrimenti che la chiusura dei porti in Ucraina faccia aumentare il prezzo della carta in Italia e provochi sommosse in Sri Lanka. Che l’aumento della siccità in Sicilia modifichi la viticoltura in America.
