\n(Earlier I started this series to try to contemplate death from the data and phenomenon we
\nencounter in our real life free from the burden of religion and scriptures. I posted last post (4th<\/sup>
\npart) in 2015 but ever since regularly receiving requests to continue the same.
\nSo I am trying to bring some more perspectives. But please bear in mind that I am
\nnothing and these are just my views\u2026(phantasm)<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n(Click here<\/a> for earlier posts)<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhether life is really as complex
\nas it seems or whether it should have been as complex as we have made it? One
\nof my very religious friend (he thinks so) once was telling me the value of
\nreligion because without it people may not be having any awareness about God. That
\nfriend is one of those who think that wearing a uniform and doing worship is
\nreligion. Religion for them is a belief not an experience…a part of their being. Just like Bravery (or fearlessness)- can someone say that he “believes” in bravery? No… because Bravery is an experience, a part of our being…it is a manifestation of our innate being\/character because by believing alone one can’t live his life like a warrior<\/span>. Simialrly, Religion is not just a belief but a thirst, a yearning to know, experience and
\nunderstand what we are and this life and then we just transform and transcend into higher dimensions. Religion enters into our life for the
\nfirst time when we realize the uselessness and shallowness of our joy, social
\nand physical achievements because death will end all this without much effort\u2026when
\nwe realize music fills us more than food.<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI told him that truth is not a
\nsubject\u2026not a linear path which we need to follow by reading scriptures\u2026in fact truth is multi-dimensional and everywhere\u2026right in front of
\nour eyes\u2026no need to look up to the sky all the time. Proof of a supreme power
\nis everywhere\u2026.in fact GOD is looking straight into our eyes\u2026.right now.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe Fabric of Life: GOD
\nis looking straight into our eyes<\/u><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nOur bodies are made of atoms<\/span><\/u><\/b> which have
\nnothing in them but just empty space. If we remove all the empty space in all the
\natoms of our bodies the resultant thing will be invisible even under
\nmicroscope. In fact the size of entire human population without space is
\nsmaller than a sugar cube. So it simply means we are not physical and we feel
\nourselves, consciousness not at physical level but at non-physical level
\n(Spiritual). If we can see that our bodies are only vacant space then doors of
\nspirituality starts opening without any sort of religious baptism or rituals.
\nAnd we can see the bridge connecting science with religion. So our body does
\nnot contain our spirit\u2026.we are just a spirit\u2026consciousness. And in fact this is
\nshocking why we need the evidence from scriptures, wordy assurance of a so called Guru (who asks others only
\nto believe his words and all ends there). And when we realize this fact then we
\nfind all our fears fading away and we find our consciousness spreading vast and
\nthis experience is what we regard as spiritual experiences\u2026similar to what our
\nold Sages felt when they attained that state of mind.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThat’s why fearlessness is the first sign (may be the only one…all else like compassion, Non-attachment etc. are just its expansions) of religion because most of our fears are attached with death so when we are not a body but pure energy, consiousness then all fears, limitations attached with our physical existence fade away. That’s why we can see our Gurus accepting death just like morning tea…no fear, no grief or sense of loosing something because they know death is not a barrier but a bridge. Just see our today’s so called Gurus…can we see any spark of fearlessness in their eyes?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOur DNA<\/span><\/u><\/b> carries
\nthe genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and
\nreproduction of all known organisms. DNA contains the information about
\nprogression of life. Before the advent of DNA, our life was thought of an
\noutcome of some very complex chemical reactions and then Darwin happened to
\nfurther explain the evolution. But DNA proved that life follows a coded path or
\ninformation in cells. But nobody could prove the origin of this \u201cInformation\u201d in
\nDNA. Just as \u201c1\u201d and \u201c0\u201d (binary codes) acts as the characters to write a code
\nin our computer softwares similarly there are four different chemicals
\n(proteins) shown as A, T, G, and C which function just like our machine codes.
\nThe length of this DNA in every cell of our body is staggering 3 billion words
\nlong!!! Also, 99.9% of our DNA is similar to all other human beings and my
\nuniqueness is defined by the fractional difference in how those three billion
\nletters are sequenced in our cells.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOur DNA is not our regular matter
\nor energy but they are information processing centers. Information is not an
\noutcome of natural chaos like a pattern of clouds which may resemble a human
\nface. Information is a creation and is always created by intelligence beings
\njust like our computer program. We can see some random alphabet in the pattern
\nof clouds but what if we see a long pattern of clouds resembling <\/span>\u201cHCG Ltd is valued at 10 times its EBITDA while
\nothers are valued 20 times EBITDA\u201d. This line is not a pattern but this is a
\ncomplex set of information and it is not possible that it can be formed
\nrandomly by natural chaos. And our DNA is complex beyond imagination spanning 3
\nbillion words in every cell in every living being. This only means that it is
\nthe creation of some superior being like God\u2026.intelligent design.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe Fibonacci series<\/span><\/u><\/b> where
\nevery successive number is a sum total of preceding two numbers (1, 1, 2, 3, 5,
\n8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 . . .). Remarkably whole nature is built on the
\nbasis of this series. It is nature\u2019s way of perfect design. This Divine
\nProportion is the division of a given unit of length into two parts such that
\nthe ratio of the shorter to the longer equals the ratio of the longer part to
\nthe whole or, when a line is divided such that the ratio of the longer part of
\nthe line to the whole is exactly the same ratio as the shorter part of the line
\nis to the longer part. This ratio is golden mean or phi, which is approximately
\n1.61803. The higher you go in the Fibonacci sequence, the more closely the
\nratio between two successive numbers in the sequence approximates phi.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nEverything in the universe seem to
\nbe following this design- petals of flowers, our DNA, tree branches, Galaxies, seed
\npatterns of sunflowers Anything built on the basis of this ratio look perfect
\nand beautiful. The most amazing fact is that the information to produce spirals,
\nleaves and numbers in living things in this pattern is stored in the DNA. When
\nthe master programmer (GOD) was busy in the creation of life\u2026space, matter and
\nDNA created the basic material but he needed the life to follow a particular
\npattern, design otherwise the things would fall in places as the petals of
\nflowers could grow anywhere and self-destruct so he created a perfect design also
\nwhich we know as Divine proportion or Golden mean or Fibonacci series. Flowers
\nof a tree can fall onto the ground in any pattern but their physical
\ndemonstration is reflected in Divine proportion. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nShapes proportioned according to
\nthe golden ratio have long been considered aesthetically pleasing throughout
\nmany cultures, and is still used frequently in art and design, suggesting a
\nnatural balance between symmetry and asymmetry. Gize pyramids are also based on
\nthis ratio, Artists like Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh used this ratio
\nextensively in their artwork, so as many other artists from ancient Greece and
\nEgypt in many of their artworks.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThere are a number of such
\nevidences which are spread all around us which point towards some Supreme Being
\nas the creative force behind all this. This Supreme
\nBeing the GOD first of all created the basic material which I call Fabric of
\nlife- and then he weaved life with all its features like DNA, Space (ether), birth,
\ngrowth, time and death.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\nWho understands this Fabric of Life<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd there are fellows
\nwho have the knowledge of this Fabric of life, its composition and origin. We
\ncall and regard these fellows as Deities or sages. As they understand the
\nFabric of life so they have the capability to manipulate or redesign the same-
\nacts which we regard as miracles. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nHere I remember something- it was
\nperhaps in the year 2001 when my cousin brother gave me a computer game named \u201cFuture
\ncop\u201d where a Robotic cop accomplishes missions killing and destroying enemies
\nand enemy posts. If the cop is killed then game is over. It took quite an
\neffort from me to complete various levels of that game as many times the Cop was
\nkilled midway in the mission. There was life capsules scattered all over the
\nenemy zone but still it was tough to fight with those extra doses of life. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBut one day my cousin brother told
\nme about the cheat codes of the game where by pressing some keys I could
\nrecharge the life level any time and at any stage of the game. And after that
\ngame was a cake walk. Cheat code was activated by pressing some combinations of
\nkeys like Alt+Ctrl+Delete and then pressing shift 5 times. If we can see this
\nfrom the point of view of the enemy army then our Robo Cop was doing miracles
\nlike anything and they must have been terrified. But our Robo Cop was just
\nmanipulating the Fabric of life of that game because he understood the fabric,
\ncomposition and origin\u2026everything.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe case is similar when we see our
\nsages doing miracles. Like in 1960\u2019s one indian Sage Swami vishudhanand who
\nperformed some remarkable feat in front of one English Journalist by using
\nSurya Vigyan. He created Jasmine and Rose fragrance out of thin air, then they
\nkilled a sparrow which he brought back to life by manipulating the sun rays.
\nSwami vishudhanand is said to had visited \u201cGyan Ganja\u201d a mythical place claimed
\nto be situated in Parallel dimensions in Himalayas. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe hear many things
\nabout various spiritual powers like invisibility, levitation, third eye,
\ntelepathy etc. All these look part of fantasy world when we take our world as mere
\nphysical phenomenon but if we <\/span>can understand
\nthe base material of our world then we can see that nothing is impossible here\u2026whatever
\nwe can think is possible here because there is no real physical limitations\u2026it
\nis all in the design and composition. Our Miracle Sages could expand their
\nconsciousness to higher dimensions (beyond our 3D world) so they can do things
\nwhich look impossible to us. Just like a being living in 2D world (surface) is
\nlocked in a 2D room but a 3D being can bring him out of the room through 3rd<\/sup>
\ndimension of height which is invisible to 2D being. 3D being can pick the two
\nfar corners ( Corner A and Corner C of a flat surface) of a surface and make
\nthem touch each other in 3rd<\/sup> dimension resulting in time travel for
\n2D beings.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n(There is also quite a possibility
\nthat we are created\/improved by highly evolved aliens but that would only
\ncreate another layer between God and us\u2026all else remains the same. This alien
\ntouch may also explain the missing link between ape and human in Darwin\u2019s
\nevolution theory and that missing link or gap never happened at all\u2026there is no
\ntime gap and we might be created right from the ape to this human image.)<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nStill the design and structure of our world looks crude<\/u><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBut if you ask me then we
\nare not at the top of hierarchy. Our world does not appear absolute in design
\nand structure. If we can see all around us with open mind and wisdom then least
\nwe will realize that world which is apparent to us is at the most inferior
\nlevel relative to the real absolute world. The reason- just look at the level
\nof our ignorance, darkness, doubt, depression, devoid, divide, aimlessness,
\nuselessness, chaos which prevails everywhere is the proof that our version of
\nthe world\/reality lies at the rock bottom far from being the absolute. Like, just look at our food structure- why a lion is made to kill others for his food…why we all need to use\/end\/kill others for our food because all our fears, enmity starts from food. Wasn’t there a better way to organize our energy requirements like straight from the sun…sit for some time in sun and it is done or some other better way…all this looks primitive. (This may also point towards something else- something here in our life is more important than all these things and that’s why these things were not cared for much).<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI think the best proof for the inferiority
\nof our world is that with our current level of consciousness it is almost
\nimpossible for us to comprehend the beginning of this universe from nothing but
\nthis is going to be the ultimate reality and only we are unable to comprehend
\nit. <\/span>Just like three dimensionality of
\nthe space which is also just our version because Universe is multi-dimensional.
\nIf God really wanted to create an absolute world then our current version could
\nnever be the best possible image. Life does not seem perfect here\u2026death makes
\neverything useless\u2026someone could have made it much better so that means this is
\nnot the BEST world\u2026our world looks incomplete. This appears more like a test
\nfacility.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe are here just to prepare
\nourselves for something much larger, vast and absolute. Many times I feel that
\nafter my death I would regain the consciousness as someone else may be in some
\nother version of reality and the life which I have lived till death would
\nappear more like a hazy dream and I may not even surprise at the end of this
\ndream because in reality this version of mine never existed and all the time I was
\nsomeone else in a much better reality and the journey of this Tier 3 world was
\npart of something big. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMany times in my dreams, I have
\nencountered and remember those memories and incidents which in real life have never
\nhappened with me. Like few days back, in my dream I was at a railway station
\nwith my brother and while standing there I remembered an old incident where one
\nman shot at me with gun but I escaped narrowly with bullet brushing me. So that
\nincident was a memory of Gurpreet of Dream but this incident has never happened
\nwith me in real life so then whose memory is that? I see these types of dreams
\nregularly and now try to write them as soon as I get up. Many times when I am
\nin half sleep I remember\/see people, places, incidents which seem as real as
\nanything can be but as soon as I wake up everything disappear into thin air\u2026even
\nafter trying hard I could never recall anything of that state but I do remember
\nthat that was something very real.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSo here in this Tier 3
\nworld, we all try to avoid death and try to lead a life in denial but REALITY
\nmay be that the ultimate aim of our life\/all efforts is just to get READY for
\nthis most important EVENT we call DEATH because if we can see there appears
\nnothing much worth in this life…it appears and is low grade. <\/span>So maybe we
\nshould think of welcoming this Death with hope rather than despair as death may
\nbe the only good thing about this life. We may be wrong in thinking that death
\nis the end of life but instead the reality may be that real Life begins only
\nafter death.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTime: An illusion or
\nfourth dimension<\/u><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nThis leads me to Time which is my
\nfavorite subject. Time has always fascinated me and every night when I lie on
\nbed waiting for the mysterious sleep I think about the most mysterious- the
\ntime, its movement and try to visualize the spatial aspect of time (Space is
\nthe physical demonstration of time or time is another dimension of space).<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOnce I visited (encountered) a so
\ncalled Guru and during discussion (In sat-sang) he remarked that our old Rishis
\nwere great and right when they said that in meditation we need to be in present
\n(no thinking about the past and future). In life also, this is a lesson to live
\nin present (Vartman) and not to worry about the past and future. While he was
\nnarrating this to the gathering he was demonstrating a mysterious smile (as if he
\ncan see their past and future). <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen we were alone then I told him
\nthat he was giving wrong interpretations and turning the vision of our great
\nsages into lower levels. He was not happy. But I told him that the Indian sages\/scriptures have settled for only one
\nreality of time and that is-NOW. But this \u201cNow\u201d is not the \u201cPresent\u201d as is
\ngenerally believed. Our rishis talk about the 3 time dimensions (Past, present
\nand future) being only the one NOW\u2026everything is Now and our \u201cpresent\u201d is only
\none segment of it\u2026this is that part of \u201cNow\u201d which is grasped by our senses at
\nthe moment of transition. Our senses cannot grasp the other parts of this \u201cNow\u201d
\nwhich are past and future.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe think that we understand time
\nand consider past, present and future as 3 dimensions of time. Past we think
\ndoes not exist and Future we think has not materialized yet and hence does not exist
\nso only present is real and we exist in the present. But
\nwhat really is Present? Do we really LIVE through present? Do we really feel
\nit, touch it? Do we really know what the \u201cDuration\u201d of present moment is? I mean
\nwhat is present moment? What is the length of present moment\u2026whether it is 1
\nsecond or 1\/10th or 1\/50th of a second? But if we can sit for a while we\u2019ll
\nrealize that we never feel any present moment at all. Can we feel, taste,
\ndifferentiate or experience \u201ca present moment\u201d in its entirety? No!<\/span> We
\ncan\u2019t pin-point the real duration of this present moment because even one
\nsecond has length and this one second has past, present and future. So what is
\nthe actual duration of moment of present-the now? Present seems more like a
\ntransient phase where future is fast turning into past. And if we can say \u201cStop\u201d just now then I can tell you we\u2019ll not be having
\na \u201cstill well defined material world\u201d in front of us. In fact all we\u2019ll have is
\nonly a lot of hazy lights, colorful lines all over the space because in reality
\nwe have stopped the \u201cmoment of transition\u201d not the present.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nPresent moment is a non-perceivable
\nmoment where future is fast becoming past\u2026when phenomenon exists for us for that
\nextremely short duration of time. I think it is wrong to call it a duration but
\na point (of trasition) where things are continuously becoming past from future.
\nPresent has no dimension<\/b> at all just like a speck of dust. Present is
\njust a \u201csmall hole for us\u201d through which we observe phenomenon in motion.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSo it seems that past
\nand future are more real than present and these 3 must co-exist to create the
\neternal NOW only we can\u2019t see them together. <\/span>The past and the future
\ncannot be non-existent for if they do not exist then the present does not exist
\neither. They must co-exist together somewhere\u2026in another dimension unknown to
\nour senses.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nJust like a video game\u2026.past and
\nfuture events exists with all possible outcomes\u2026.consciousness is just a medium
\nto experience the phenomenon as per the choice. The events take place and
\nconsciousness can shape them but still they are confined to the physical and
\nquantum laws of this material (not sure) world. Within these laws every event
\nholds a definite potential of occurring. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe moment of present as we call it,
\nis nothing but a perception of the fourth dimension of existence. Present is
\nalways a small point where future is becoming past at fast pace in reality it
\nnever exists. It is just another \u201cdimension\u201d to feel the world\u2026world as we know
\nnot real. Time becomes a dimension for lower dimension beings like a two
\ndimensional animal will see the 3rd dimension of a cube as something past,
\npresent and future events as he can\u2019t conceptualize a cube as a whole as a 3rd
\ndimension thing. So time comes into existence whenever a low dimension being
\nfaces a higher dimension. When a 1D line becomes a 2D surface then breadth
\ndimension will appear like a time to a 1D being as he can\u2019t see 2D as a whole.
\nSo the present we feel and time movement we feel is nothing but the existence
\nof 4th dimension which we feel as passing of time.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA 2D being will feel the 3rd
\ndimension of a cube as a movement of 2D surface\u2026movement in time\u2026the 3rd
\ndimension of height will appear as time to him. So for them the space means
\n2D+T. I feel constrained to say time as the 3rd dimension because we can see it
\nis not\u2026it just appears as time when in reality it is height\u2026a physical
\ndimension.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen a line moves in the direction
\ncontained in it\u2026it is in one dimensional world so as a surface in 2D or a cube
\nin 3D world. But when they travel in a direction not contained in it (but
\nperpendicular to it) then they are moving higher up in the order so when a 2D
\nobject moves upwards or downwards he is entering into 3D world. So just like it
\nwhen a 3D object moves in a direction not contained in it then it is entering
\nthe 4D space and can we say that the only dimension seems capable of being
\nperpendicular to the 3 spatial dimensions of the 3D world is \u201ctime\u201d?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI think I need to
\nstop here as the things are really getting complex (may be interesting too) and it is
\nbetter to take a breather now. I think now in order to explain the
\nrelationships of 3D space with higher dimensions I will have to use images
\notherwise we may not be able to visualize the fourth dimension. So I am
\nstopping here for time being\u2026will continue the journey soon\u2026although it seems
\nimpossible for me to stop the flow in my mind.<\/span><\/b>
