Consciousness- The Great puzzle Part-3
(Collapse of Consciousness: Maya)
Who are we in reality?
On the basic level we are atoms, which in turn are electrons and protons.
Are we a person or infinity?
Are we not in several places at the same time?
Are we matter or spirit?
Matter does not exist as a wave of energy prior to observation but as a wave of potentialities or possibilities. The most important aspect is, that the object was not there, before the observation was made but it existed as potentiality.
Objects do not exist until the observation is made.
Consciousness is everywhere, in every grain of sand and in every pulsating energy particle. It is not a noun but it “IS”. It is existence itself. Just the way the electron exists in a superposition, existing as wave of possibility and potentiality, until the act of observation, the Consciousness also exists.
Human consciousness is a localized state of Cosmic Consciousness.
Consciousness is pervading everywhere. The “I-ness” of human consciousness is the illusion of the mind. The Cosmic consciousness collapses to “I consciousness” giving it parameters and confines of the body. Just the way the true nature of electron as a wave collapses to point particle, when observation is made.
When we see waves of an ocean we see the surface only, without realizing that the surface does not exist without the fullness of ocean. The wave is connected with thousands of miles of Ocean in all directions and also in its depths. The wave is given parameters, like length, breadth and height or the frequency.
This is the illusion.
There is ocean everywhere on the surface of the wave, on the sides, on the bottom and the top and everywhere.
The wave existed as a possibility or potentiality at every point of the vast ocean. In our observation the localized ego or localized consciousness of the observer collapses the infinite potentiality to localized wave. In other word it destroys the information out there and becomes subject dependent.
The individual consciousness (Ego) is part of the infinite ocean of cosmic consciousness. This cosmic consciousness exists as a field of all possibilities. This is the quantum field where all potentialities exist. The energy particles are blinking in and out of existence from this field just like waves rise and fall into the ocean without ever leaving it.
The wave was never there; it was the ocean. It was the infinite vastness that playfully undulated and the consciousness collapsed it to “The wave” as an entity.
Wave is undulation of the sea. Particles or matter is also undulation of the space-time geometry.
The double slit experiment proves that the wave of potentiality collapses to a particle, an illusion of the mind. The particles do not exist unless observed.
The story of Indra as a pig is the story of the same illusion that made him feel like a pig. Indra, the infinite, manifested himself through the body of a pig. He started to look at existence from the material level of his body, as energy particles. Indra assumed the localized consciousness of the pig. The infinite Indra became finite grovelling pig. The real Indra became unreal pig.
As soon as it realizes that it is everywhere, it is the ocean, the observer and the observed become one. The ocean and the wave merge with each other. The properties of the sea become the property of the wave. The individualized wave goes back to its original position as ocean, present everywhere, all pervading and powerful.
When Indra regains his own true form then he realizes that he was not the pig but INDRA.
The individualized consciousness becomes the transcendental consciousness; a state of singularity. Self-cognises the self through the self.
Only one remains.
The subject object relationship ceases to exist because there are no objects except the self.
What does this mean?
Our relationship with the objects of perception in the dream state was hallucination. Our relationship with objects in waking state was one of attachment and illusion with objects of perception.
But in the Transcendental state of Consciousness, our experience is the experience of unity, here, there, everywhere like the electron. Like the wave merging with the sea and attaining its full potential in the power of the ocean.
The noun consciousness is product of an illusion on the fundamental levels of energy particles, the electrons and photons. In order to know the reality of noun consciousness we need to go beyond the confines of waking state into the transcendental state of consciousness.
This the unified state where all forces of nature are in dormant state.
