The human body is made up of
matter. If you break the matter, it is converted into atoms and then to
subatomic particles (protons, electrons and neutrons), photons, quantum and wave
in sequence. Matter can therefore be converted into non-matter.
Photon is a state where you
are both matter and non matter. In quantum mechanics, this is called wave
particle duality in which every particle can be described as a particle and
also as wave.
When two photons particles
interact or become ‘entangled’ and then separate, they are connected at a speed
much faster than the speed of light and act similar even when separated by huge
distances. Einstein called this connection as “spooky action at a
distance” as according to him this was impossible. This phenomenon answers
many of the mysteries of consciousness. Because at the level of photon, we are
connected to everybody in the universe.
When we learn to live in the
present, there is harmony between our inner rhythm and the rhythms of the
nature, a phrase described in Vedic text as “ritam bhara pragya”
Ritam (rhythm), Bhara (full of), Pragya (mind) or
simply put, a “mind full of rhythm”.
This is the extreme
parasympathetic state of the body and represents a state of mind where the
thought waves are synchronous with the order of the universe. It is the
interface between the disturbed and the undisturbed state of consciousness. It
can be achieved by deep meditation. People who meditate have been said to
acquire many powers like telepathy, reverse telepathy, spontaneous fulfilment
of desires, meaningful coincidences, synchrodestiny etc.
Our consciousness or the soul
is the silent state of mind with infinite powers. These powers are hidden under
the smoke of mind, intellect and ego. Ritam bhara pragya is controlling the
mind, intellect and ego.
Our Vedas say that nature
regularly sends us signals that show that you are on the right path or have
taken a wrong turn in life. But we are oblivious to them because at that
particular moment, we are living either in the past or in the future. The state
of Ritam bhara pragya brings us in close contact with nature, enabling us to
pick up the signals of the nature.
Once the state of ritam bhara
pragya is achieved, we start living in the present. Living in the present is
sometimes referred to as mindfulness. If we live our lives mindfully, we will
get more out of life. Because then the intention becomes powerful, and one
starts experiencing spontaneous fulfilment of desires.
This is also the level where
one experiences Siddhis, or the super normal powers described by Patanjali in
the Yoga Sutras.
