There is a sand clock at a professor's place where the speed of time is not the same! He says the time slows down when the conversation is simulating. Wow! What an interesting way of representation of time!
The concept of time has always fascinated me. With newer interpretations of time emerging! Guruji gives a beautiful explanation of how meditation happens. Thoughts occur to us with a gap - however small. But they dont overlap. In meditation, the gap between the thoughts increases, and in samadhi, the gap increases to an extent that there are no thoughts at all!
So what is time for you? When does it move fast and when does it move slow? Can time actually move fast or slow or is it only the experience which makes the difference (ok, i know mr einstein's theories, but they are mere words and formulas for me, i dont appreciate them really)? Can time stop? Is time the same for different organisms? I remember reading in a scripture that the one second of Lord Brahma is actually several thousand years of human beings, and hence for Brahma the cycle of the universe getting born and getting destroyed is actually very short!
Another interesting aspect is, is time unidimensional or multi dimensional? I remember Guruji saying time is cyclical, but that still does not answer whether its unidimensional or multi dimensional! And is it cyclical only at a macro level or a micro level? Macro level example could be life starting on planet, getting destroyed and getting born again. Micro level could be if the events within a civilization also repeat!
Physicists often refer to the space time continuum. Wonder how exactly are they related, or they actually completely different?!
Only time will answer the above questions, i guess.
Time out for now!
I’m finding myself very comfortable talking to medical audiences, and proving to them that underlying the material fields of the universe are force fields. But they are not just force fields. They are not just gravity, strong and weak interactions, or electromagnetism. Every force field is simultaneously a field of information because even physics now acknowledges that an atom is not only a hierarchy of different states of energy, or different states of force fields. An atom is a hierarchy of different states of information that define the statistical likelihood of finding a particle here or there at the time of observation.
ReplyDeleteEinstein said that a field is not really an actual model for space-time events, but the "continuum of probability distributions of possible measurements as a function of time." In other words, the field (which is what spirit is, a field of pure potentiality) is a continuum of all possible energy and information states that will subsequently manifest themselves as space-time events. Matter is a space-time event. You and I in physical bodies are space-time events. We confuse ourselves with these space-time events, when in fact we are the ones who generate these space-time events.
Somewhere inside us we know that we outlive these expressions of space-time experience. To be grounded experientially in the knowledge of immortality is to lose fear once and for all, to understand that the flow of linear time is a psychological event, that we do not exist in time, but that eternity exists in us. This awareness gives us freedom from both the memories of the past and anticipation of the future. We experience ourselves as the field, the eternal possibility, the immeasurable potential of all that was, is, and will be. There is a nice poem from Rumi, "Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there."
To know oneself as the field has become a spiritual quest, but also a scientific quest these days. All our technology today — whether we use fax machines or computers or speak on phones or watch programs on television — is based on the premise that the essential nature of the material world is non-material. All of these technologies are based on the overthrow of the superstition of materialism in the world of technology. The next step is to realize that these so-called fields of force, or information, are actually fields of intelligence and knowledge. Because when information is self-referring, in that it has a feedback loop that influences its own expression, then you cannot just call it pure information. Everybody understands information in today’s information age. But the next step in the evolution of this knowledge is to understand that it is not just information, it is intelligence, it is knowledge, it is consciousness. The force fields of nature are force fields of consciousness. They are force fields of knowledge. They are fields of Brahman.
There is a Vedic saying, "All your life you’ve paid attention to your experiences, but never to yourself."
Pay attention to your self outside the realm of your experiences and you’ll discover that there is a light there, there is a love there. Love of one, love of all, merge into love, pure and simple. It radiates from you like light from the sun. This love is not sentiment, but the truth at the heart of all creation. It can solve not only our own problems, but the problems of humanity.
