What should be termed a scientific 'or' pseudo-scientific concept? For e.g. is Consciousness a scientific or is it a pseudo-scientific concept? Something to reflect on…

1/30/2021

I recently noticed that a certain famous researcher on water memory was called as a “pseudo scientist” by some Wikipedia writer. I am not quite sure, on what basis, the writer was choosing to use that label. 

Having been trained as a scientist, I feel that, though we may not necessarily be able to validate a person’s exact work or findings (I am not familiar with that researcher’s background)- the results he has published over the years can surely be (and has been) replicated. 
​
Also, we may not necessarily agree with his conclusions- but someone who performs a sequenced set of experimentation-steps which can then be replicated by another group of independent individuals- should not be given such a label. 
Picture
Anyways- I do not agree with putting ‘labels’ on people, in the first place! Though I do understand that many a times, it is inevitable when we are providing our thoughts and opinions. But such thoughts and opinions should be clearly indicated as such.

​As a writer, I feel that it is our silent honor-code, to ensure that we maintain proper and complete objectivity when we conduct our research, analysis, and evaluation of a person’s work and that we are indicating our findings in the most clear and conducive light. Particularly when we are speaking of a person- an individual with friends, family, colleagues, and most importantly personal feelings!!
On a sidenote, here is a little tidbit about my past: During my post-graduate studies, I used to teach undergraduate students in science labs!
Coming back to objective representation, ‘Replication of findings’, is one of the key aspects- that is evaluated to determine if something is a ‘true science’ or myth? I wonder, why the Wikipedia writers have ignored this important scientific evaluation criteria!

When one can independently replicate the findings by another person, then we need to stipulate that there is obviously some ‘truth’ in the matter- may be the theory or explanation provided by that person, could need further research, or the findings may be in-conclusive, but we cannot negate the existence of that finding- as it was verified by various independent sources.
​
Even when it comes to a researcher’s choice of words- which could be apparently very un-scientific, like “consciousness”!
We need to remember that even Theoretical Physicists have now found the “God particle” which is pretty much a quantum mechanical way to explain the existence of “consciousness”. I will try to write more about it in future posts…
Back during my Quantum study days, we used to have a joke among us- that back in the 60s when someone asked a Theoretical Physicist if he believed in God, that person would be offended and would say with revulsion- “What?? Ofcourse not!! I am a Theoretical Physicist”. And now in the 2000s when we ask a Theoretical Physicist, if he believed in God, that person would be surprised and say with comic disbelief- “Ofcourse I do!! I am a Theoretical Physicist”.

Before we put labels on things that we may/not understand or agree, it is important to keep in mind that we are never privy to all the information that there is to any topic or concept.

After all, even with all the information at our finger tips, we are still limited by what has been uncovered to date- and as we know, as ‘scientific’ research shows us- we are constantly finding and uncovering new facets of nature and our cosmic existence

Water- how it is unique in its ability to retain memory- our karmic memory- i.e. not just the details of our karmas (actions) but also the repeating-patterns of those actions (i.e. the samskaras- our genetic memory)

1/29/2021

Water is a unique substance that can simultaneously exist in all the three states of existence at the same time- i.e., as a solid (ice), liquid (water) and also in the gaseous form (as water vapor). There are many anomalies associated with water- one of the key baffling ones being how it contracts as it turn solid (which is the case with most substances) BUT water does it only until it reaches the 4°C. At which point, it starts to expand, instead of contracting!! There are many other properties about water- which make it very unique in its physical and chemical properties… BUT what is most important to you and I, is that water is essential for us to survive.

Water is not just a key natural resource that will determine our life here on earth- water is the very indication that we look out for to check if life is possible at any other galactic location!!
​

Water is found to have one of the best ‘memory’ of all-natural substances. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist has shown thru various experiments how water can easily retain memory of what was done to it or said over it, for long periods of time.
Picture
Even you and I can do a simple cooked rice experiment to indicate the validity of the fact that water (which makes up over 70% of our earth and also our bodies) retains excellent memory!! Now typically we speak of using cooked rice- but honestly, you could use any cooked grains… any natural substance- like a vegetable or fruit. More the water content (like cucumbers, watermelon), that much easier- it will be for you to observe your experiment-results.

Try this out: Take three cups of cooked rice. With the first cup, convey your love and gratitude to it. Thank the rice for its existence, its presence in your life and the fact that it can fill your up and curtail your hunger and so on… with the second cup- be very nasty in your interaction. Express anger, resentment and even hatred (if you want to go to that extreme) and with the third cup- do nothing special. It will work as a baseline!!

You will find that the cooked rice cup that was the baseline and did not receive any special treatment- neither positive nor negative, goes stale within the expected timeframe! The cooked rice cup which received praise, gratitude and appreciation is still fresh even when the baseline cup shows the signs of staleness!! But what will shock most people is how easily and with what intensity the third cooked rice cup deteriorates- the one which was the recipient of anger, resentment, and negative emotions!! That one will not just go stale that much quicker; it will also turn moldy and stink more than the neutral cup!!
 
As I said, this is an experiment we can all perform in our homes. 
What is important to remember is that we do not need to know why something works- till we know for a fact that it works and then we are able to benefit by following those process steps!! As they say, a truly intelligent person learns from other’s experience.

Having said that, we may or not believe that this is true science. We may or may not believe that water ‘retains memory’- but the evidence of the experiment is very clear. We also know the fact that almost 70% of our bodies is made up of water- so if the rice cup reacts that badly to anger and resentment, then how do our bodies react to such negative emotions?? Have you felt ‘withered’ when you were heavily criticized or felt ‘almost light, joyous and expansive’ when people appreciated you??

Something to reflect on and keep in mind when we interact not just with others but also our own self​!!

How often do we actually take the time to notice our self-talk?? Do you tend to judge yourself? Do you tend to criticize yourself? Are you less forgiving of yourself when you eat that extra slice of pizza or do something for the umpteenth time, even though you have sworn to not do that behavior!!
​
It is true that we need to treat our intensions like a true Sankalp (if you are wondering what it means, then you can read more here…) … like a genuine commitment, but at the same time, we also need to ensure that our self-talk which is the most important talk that we ever have in our life- is filled with true warmth, affection, love, and kindness.

Do you really dare to wish… to ask for… whatever it is that you deeply seek in your heart?

1/25/2021

In the business world there is a very common saying that- aim for the moon, because if you miss it then atleast you will be among the stars. Though, the spirit of that saying may apparently seem appealing- it is not a good idea. Why? Because we attract what we desire…

When we desire something, want something with a clear intension then we are already setting its fulfillment in motion. This is one the universal laws… The Law of Attraction. 
​
Now, keep in mind that like all the universal laws, it is very genuine, true, and irrefutable- but at the same time, it follows very specific process-steps. So, this is not just about “wishing” and “wanting” something- is is about truly and deeply desiring something. It is the state of your energy field that attracts similar energy. 
Picture
A message for you:   If you have come to this message, then it probably holds a deeper meaning for you. There are no 'accidents' in this universe and it typically speaks to us thru synchronicity. So, read thru this message carefully and then contemplate on the words to see if there is a deeper meaning- specifically for you.   
In physics, it is called as the cohesive force- where ‘like attracts like’- keeping matter together. If you want to see a simple example of this, then pour a little water droplet very close to another water droplet on a non-absorbent surface like a glass plate. You will find that if the droplets are close enough, then they seem to pull on each other to become a bigger water drop! This is a very practical observation of the natural cohesive force in action.

How this allows Law of Attraction to work and what are some of the key process-steps to ensure our heart-felt desires manifest, is something we will see in subsequent articles- but for now, keep in mind that do not be stingy about what you ask!! The universe can provide all the bounty (after all it created all of it)- do not be fearful that you may not get it!! All such negative thinking is sure to block the manifestation of your desired outcome.

So, when you are seeking the moon- then be clear in your intension about “wanting the moon”. Have faith that in due time (universe will best decide on the ‘when’) it will manifest in all its glory and the best part is- you will not only have the moon, but will be surrounded by the stars as well- now that is awesome- isn’t it?

There is a very famous motivational speaker Zig Ziglar, who once said that- you can achieve any amount of success, if you help enough number of people to become successful. He must have known about the Law of Attraction.
Achieving our heart-felt desires is not just about having a clear intension and wanting the best for ourselves… it is also not about having the willingness to put in the required work… what is absolutely mandatory is that our wished outcome is in accordance with the general principles of goodness and well-being. 

It is important that what we desire and what we do- our thoughts, our actions, somewhere increase the greater goodness in the universe, at the very least it should be neutral- but under no circumstances can it bring hurt or harm to others- since then, that very hurt, harm and pain will flow to the one initiating it- after all, there is another universal law- The Law of Karma. 

All these universal laws work in tandem with each other and over these next several weeks, we will look at them in more detail- but for now, step out of your comfort zone and dare to wish for the best in your life.   Believe in the universal providence and seek all your deep heart-felt wishes with complete faith and clear intension...

Are you able to see the 'one- Divinity', our creator in its many manifested forms? Try it- it will magically and completely change your life-experience...

1/23/2021

0 Comments

 
​When we look around, we typically look and perceive others as “another”; an-other. Our identity is so much aligned with our own self, that we tend to look at others and immediately see all the differences between us. 

Typically, we tend to observe differences between us and another person. This happens because we are very identified with our own self. AND, we view this self by its external qualities, such as- I am a man (or woman), rich (or poor), Hindu (or Muslim- another religion) and so on… It is true that at an apparent level, there are many differences in each one of us. 
Picture
​This makes for the grand creation that we live in. But instead of celebrating this diversity, we typically use it as a way to segregate and separate! 

It is only when we are very far from our normal location that we look for some commonality to find comfort and safety in the familiar! For e.g. When you travel, if you are to meet someone from your country/heritage, it seems to give you a special happiness.

If we are to look deep, we will notice that there are always so many commonalities- even with a person who is at an apparent level very different from us!  Let’s take an example of a white person from a rich western European nation and a black person from a very poor African nation. At an apparent level, there will be many differences- skin color, affluence and possibly even health and physical well-being.

BUT, when we look beyond the outer physical differences, we can observe the commonalities- their sense of humor could be different, but laughter is going to release the similar endorphins and ‘happy chemicals’ in their brain! Similarly, what moves them emotionally and how they express their pain could be different, but both of their tears would be salty!

And this is not just the case with another human being. ALL manifested forms have the same  underlying divinity. Observe and see the commonality between you and a  dog, cat, tree... can you feel the very life-force (the divine presence, it's energy) pulsating in every life-form?
Nowadays, it has become imperative for political and social reasons to say that we believe in equality. But how many of us, are really able to see this common-ness between all and everything in creation?? 

Make it a point to look at the one-ness that underlies everything in creation. After all, it is the same Divine energy that manifests itself in all this myriad of forms. And this is not limited only to the animate objects! The divine energy underlies even the un-animate objects. 
​

Everything that is created, is simply a manifestation of that one Divinity. ​ When you are able to see this one-divine energy beneath   everything in   creation, your life experience will change!!    People, situations and even nature will start 'yielding' to you- your needs, your wants and wishes... it is as if, “your wish is the Universe's command".   Needless to say, your life experience will be magical…

Typically, when one hears something being ‘magical’- one tends to think of it as something that cannot be easily or logically explained. But that is not the case here at all. When one sees the very underlying energy behind all of creation, it transforms us- our approach to life and everything within it and it also transforms our interaction with everyone and everything.
​

If you want to live a magical life, then it is simply about understanding the very energy, quantum dynamics of this universe and then synergistically working with it to create the life of your dreams.

How we can power objects around us- to provide warning/guidance (Quantum Living with Energies series)

12/30/2020

0 Comments

 
Everything in existence is ultimately energy and information. We also know that matter and energy are interconvertible, i.e., matter can be converted to energy and vice versa. When we truly understand these concepts, then you will also realize the importance of why ancient cultures used figurines when they prayed- these figurines worked like Quantum-banks storing energy. More on that in another post. 
​
Today, let us look at how we can utilize an object to hold information for us- so when we need to have some kind of warning or guidance, then such an object can provide it to us. Sounds fantastic… magical? It is quite simple and normal- once you learn how to work with energies.
​Energy-modulation is an extensive and intricate science. Depending on the object as well as your general state of being and also your own energy development, the results can greatly vary. But what I am narrating here is something I have done while I was still new on this path and I hope that it will help you as well- as you get started on your own spiritual journey.
You will realize that as you get more advanced in working with energies- then you do not need to limit yourself to specific objects- but you can obtain guidance thru myriad of ways.
​
So, to explain how we can utilize the power of any objects to provide us warning/guidance- let me narrate this personal incident.

Back then, I lived in Chicago and was far from home. International calls were quite an expensive treat in general and particularly for me as a student. Given the fact that many times, I would be too engrossed within my own life as I tried to figure out the path, I always felt concerned that I would not know for a long time if something was to happen to my mom- who I love dearly!!

So, this is how I decided to power an object to help me to know/perceive any subtle energy changes around my mother.
​She had gifted me a small locket and considering I felt her love and blessings within it, I took the locket in my hands and promised the Divine/ Universe/ Higher Self (however one chooses to name it) - that I would always wear that locket and no matter what- would never take it off- AND if something was to happen to my mom- i.e. if she was in any mortal danger then this locket would fall off my body (i.e. not touch my body any longer).
​This method is called Sankalpa- it is a way in which we make an unwavering decision and then follow it thru with total resolution. Sankalpa is typically used to conduct intense sadhana (long prayer sessions) and/or to break free of habit patterns. It can also be utilized to create any needed, positive situation or bring about any positive change. 
Years went by and I ensured that I always wore that locket. Even when I had to go thru immigration x-rays and other procedures- the medical staff needed to tape it to my face, as I refused to remove it for any reason what-so-ever and during all that time I always ensured that the locket always touched my body.

Though at an apparent level, taking things to such an extreme may seem silly- but this is precisely where one’s conviction provides the energy that sustains how such situations pan out.

Then finally, one day- I noticed that for no apparent reason, the chain broke, and that locket fell. It happened so suddenly that I could barely react and even though I tried to catch it- I could not grab it in time and it fell… on my foot (still was touching my body). I picked it up and quickly tried to decipher what it meant…

I could distinctly feel the Universe saying that my mom’s time on earth was coming up. Even though we may be able to prolong her life a little thru our love and efforts, but it was time for her to pass on.
​
Within days- my mom was diagnosed with a grave stage 4 medical condition!! We did several things to help her- medically as well as from an energy perspective to ensure that she would have an awesome quality of life in her last days. Even though the doctors gave her barely three months to live, she stayed on for another whole year!
Picture
​She spent that last year- not in any hospital, but by living up her life. She got a chance to travel to places that mattered to her and meet people she cherished and then finally after a year, she passed on to the other side...
​Now, within the Vedic culture- we perform specific death rituals which span on for over 13 days. It is believed that if these rituals are properly performed then the soul (i.e., the Jeevatma) truly leaves this earthly plane in a satisfied manner and continues further with its journey. One of the last steps of this ritual is when the family members- particularly those who performed the body’s cremation, take a ritual bath to signify “the end of that life-form”.
So, after my mom passed on, I thought to remove that locket. But I could feel her “living presence” in the auric (energy) form and so thought to let it be. Then finally after we completed all the required rituals, I took that ritual bath and just as I stepped out of the shower, I felt something falling- and noticed that the locket had fallen off- and this time it had fallen on the floor away from my body. 

A locket which had stayed put for years on end, had got battered up and weathered, had many chains replaced and all the time, the one Sankalpa I had done was to ensure it stays touched to my body, which it did for all those years and then finally it fell off, on its own, once my mother had completed her stay on this earthly plane and had commenced her onward journey.
​
Though this may sound amazing or even magical, if you work with energy principles, then you will realize that it is quite ‘normal’. Also, it does not need to be an object that one wears. In fact, given how difficult it was for me to maintain that Sankalpa, not to mention the challenges with delicate jewelry; if I had to ever repeat this- I probably would not choose anything wearable!!

Steps to power an object:

​So, how can you do a Sankalpa… First part is to be very clear about your intension. Now keep in mind that your intension cannot be about controlling someone or going against their wishes or against the general good of humanity!! It is true that the energy-principles hold true irrespective of the intension being good or bad; but there is the universal Law of Karma- you will have to face the feedback/backlash of whatever it is that you initiate with any energy.

Next, pick an object that holds some relevance, some emotional significance to you (your intension). It is even better if it is directly associated with a person or situation concerning your intension. Sankalpa works best when it is personal and truly customized to you/your way of being/perception.

And finally- the most important part. Be absolutely sincere and follow thru with what you say you will do as well as be clear about what you expect to happen if there are any adverse changes.

Don’t get yourself too worked up about ensuring to include all possibilities etc. Clarity is very different than controlling!! Be clear and concise in your intension- and then let the power of your Sankalpa tarry you thru…
Why such Sankalpa matters is that most of us do not like sudden changes and disruptive events. If done right and if the rest of your energy-way-of-being is in-synch, then you will find that such guidance/warning can come in handy.

What such Sankalpas help with is to give you a warning- a little bit of extra preparatory time to better deal with a challenging situation. It gives you a heads-up as well as some shock-absorption time to better understand and assimilate an otherwise devasting situation!

Also, this is a good way to get started if you want to work with energies and to learn to utilize them in simple, small ways.

As mentioned earlier, you will realize that as you get more advanced in working with energies, then you do not need to limit yourself to specific objects. You can obtain guidance thru myriad of ways. Anything and everything in your surroundings can help you, can guide you. After all, we are in a collective and connected energy-field, which we commonly call as the collective consciousness.

Mirroring of Consciousness

4/22/2012

Picture
A moment in life, where you experience the entire infinity. After that you and the infinite time seem one and every moment in the present, seems like that perfect point within the infinity, as it contains all its experience.

Is this the experience of living in the present moment? Is this what living in the "now" feels like- Like I am here and still no-where, that I am here and everywhere. That I am "here"- just that; nothing else- neither "no-where" nor "everywhere". What a feeling! What a state of being!

It feels like the wave of a quantum flux collapsed into the joy and peace of a calm and serene line.

Like the clouds of doubt clear away to reveal a bright and beautiful sky... and I could see the face of God. My own self reflected back to me by the Mirror of Consciousness, the cosmic consciousness.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.  

    Stay in touch
