The World Within

The World Within

       “Plan as if you are going to live forever and retire as if you are going to die tomorrow” this is famous and ancient thought and if followed could do miracle. I came across it when I was in school doing grade 7^th course, I could not get the essence of first half of it but second half I assumed it as to give 100% of what you can. As time passed I realized we are supposed to give cent percent effort for some goal that is where you engage in planning. Thus the gist of the thought is to set a ‘Life-Goal’ (meaning, the goal which you consider to achieve against an opportunity of your existence) and plan all actions directing towards it, may involve smaller goals (rather aims) but ultimately leading to Life-Goal, and planning is to considering that there are no considerations (constrains) such as of quality, efforts, wealth and time and then you give what all you could in the spur of time every instance.

      But when I was thinking about my Life-Goal, I was pondering what is most important in life, and is it worthy enough that it is equivalent to my precious life. Since I was not given a chance to take this opportunity, my goals are also not pre-deterministic. (It didn’t mean I complain of my birth). So the task was to set my Life worthy goals. And here was a problem, everything I thought of boiled down to something which is more core to me, something which is not defined, or have plenty of other synonyms, such as inner peace, real happiness, subconscious bliss etc. Sometimes I even feel that meditation, Dhayan, Smadhi, Bodhya are nothing but pointing to same substance which everyone is in search of.

“What matters you the most?” this is key for the above corundum. As there is key for a question similarly there is key for an answer. Close your eyes, what you see? Something (may not be anything). Think of a thing (may be intangible) which you like at that moment the most. Now hold your breath, wait, re answer the question. Does now answer changed to Breath. That obvious, it’s easy to relate Life with it. But hold on, what if you have all the breath till you wish, will you be still happy? Or will you like to have life like that? If your answer is yes, then there should be absolutely everyone achieving goals of life and should be happy as everyone can breathe till they want to.

    So where does problem lies? It’s inside you. Things which matter you most are those which you are related to internal contented. When I close my eyes I see relative nothing but this relation is with outer world, but there is inner one as well. How we justify it. Take for an example whom you love the most for which you could even risk your own life (I am sure there are). So you know them in and out at least there is some perception. Now if I ask you to close your eyes and then think for the same person is that the same perception? (I am not talking of dreaming of them, Dreaming involves some sort of subconscious thinking). And I am sure it is not. What we generally perceive is physically dimension, but it is still attached because of our subconscious involvement, or rather mentally. The mental perception of person is behaviour of the person, his/her manners, body languages, altitude etc. These are mentally characteristics. So if your loved one is not physically matters then how could any other thing in physical world matters you?

Close your eyes and listen to sound which your body makes, it is generally some rushing sound of blood, beating of heart, gastric noises, moments of joints. This are still physical, similarly see what you can see (raise no question its close eyes) you will see some red background, or some dark blur images, still they are physical. Then how you reach to your inner world? Focus, imagine a bright light (you are free to imagine anything), now here you are getting your mind into action, ask it to focus such that you could see all the hue, you could. Does it have single pale colour? Or something which is random, a spur you think as bright and another dark? My point is not to think but observe what you are witnessing once you have said bright light. So just observe. Do you realize it is not static but changes as you see in more? Well you can use this as a meditating technique to evolve what you can see which is actually not there.

        Now start with feelings, you can make out things are hot and cold, try to feel you are heating your palm (you can use any of body parts). Do you feel hot signal are perceived by your brain? You should then try with cold signal, similarly you can do it for any other sensation (physical). Let’s do an experiment, take a glass of hot water and hold (don’t burn yourself, slightly warm) do you feel hot? Observer heat signal moving from palm to brain, now switch to cold as you did it in previous case (it is not that difficult). You will actually perceive hot object as cold ones. Now this is not physical, even the first experiment was not physical it is mind switch. This is an exact mechanism which martial art people uses, they use it to stop the feeling of pain (as I conceived from documentaries).

        The point is whatever you do, feel and perceive is all you mind. So even if your mind don’t mind you, it is the fact that mind is something which matter the most (There may be various others, but this is what straight forwardly I am drawn to the conclusion). So no matter in what way we interact with outer surrounding there is always a mental perception (I call it as Mental Picture). So although you are interacting but in a fact you are playing with mental picture. Let’s feel the difference of two worlds. You know entire of water in ocean could be evaporated into atmosphere (I wanted to say atmosphere has a capacity to hold such a large quantity), now how large do you think air molecule goes in space, (that’s a limit of exosphere). Now can you stretch it beyond its actual limits? Obviously you can do that, lets expand it to the size of Jupiter (Largest planet of the system), can you expand it beyond this? (Try expanding to envelop entire solar system). So here lies a difference, mentally we are enormously strong, we can think of anything.

        At this point I don’t want to falsify physical presence of heavenly bodies, and also not to encourage to live within own world, but explore, what this inner world. When we dream generally it is not necessary to have its physical coexistence but still we perceive it to be real. More over they are all out of our control. Dreams are involuntary mental picture which come out of subconscious involvement as I said before. Have you ever heard of controlled dreams (if you have then please let me know as I would be first one to experiment upon)? But Advance yoga technique, Kundalini actually deals with that, it is a visualization of coiled serpent which rises and hoods over your head, I don’t know what is happening physically but this is what people see (Mental Picture). Mediation works also on similar principles, you visualize something (ex. breath) and focus upon. What we are actually do is we bring minimizes the barriers between our mental (conscious) with our subconscious thoughts. With this we become capable enough to see all the minute details of your Mental Picture. You can go into and see it, experience it and manipulate it.

      To do the same thing using cyber technique we encompass the need of unwanted experiments. In simulation we built in so many constrains so that it should work out abreast to physical world, more and more cluster are use, even we model using supercomputers. Over that when you write codes for simulation, it is often asked to visualize yourself at that scale. So if cyber things could be worked upon, our brain is far more advance, actually beyond any supercomputer in times to come.

       Thus what we think, we have its Mental Picture, What we have we see and feel, and what we feel is real.

       Thank you.
