Hypothesis


The past couple of days have been truly exciting as they have challenged the way each of us defined our self – real and spiritual. There is a need for these observations to be documented and questioned and refined.  From discussions over the last few days, following are the key observations:
·         Universe in its base form is made up of energy (waves) and matter. Energy is created when matter interacts; matter can only interact an some energy is applied to it. It is futile to answer which gave rose to the other, as it is a chicken and egg problem.
·         By utilizing energy, matter can and has evolved into various forms and shapes. Living organisms are only one form of the matter. For matter to gain mass it requires energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred from one form to the other. Energy in the universe does seem to be a zero-sum game, which seems to be at a natural equilibrium level.
·         Matter can communicate with other matter by way of waves – audible, visual, electrical or even electro-magnetically. This form of communication can be accessed by all matter, either by creating waves or responding to them. When waves (energy) hits matter it either absorbs or responds to waves. If matter absorbs energy then it inherently is transferring the form of that energy (wave) from one form to the other much like the way how a dam converts kinetic energy into electricity. But the key observation is energy cannot be destroyed and does affect all matter that it comes in contact with.  
·         What is reality for humans? Reality is how perceive energy(waves) interacting with other matter through the 5 senses that humans most use. Inherent in this definition is that our reality is totally governed by how matter/energy interaction is perceived by our senses. Thus our reality is truly defined by our senses. If we choose to close or deactivate all our 5 physical senses, what is reality then?
·         Cells (base form of life) have been scientifically proven to communicate with one another through visual signals which result from electromagnetic pulses. Human body too generates electromagnetic pulses and this forms the basis of how our central nervous system works and how we “feel”. The same way earth has its own electromagnetic signature. Each celestial body in the universe has its own electromagnetic signature.
·         A human body has trillions of cells, each with their electromagnetic pulse (vibrations) generating/reaction capability. Depends on the vibrations generated by the cell it is captured by our nervous system and transports the message to the brain which directs our body to take action to address the matter. Following is our hypothesis: Like cells in our body play a particular function in our body, (basically to convert energy from one form to the other), we humans play a similar role on the earth. We too can communicate with earth and everything around us like our cells do in our very own bodies. And earth probable is a part of a bigger body and so on and so forth. This relationship has been captured in various spiritual texts as “everything is one” and the “oneness” concept. We all part of the same and communicate thru our vibrations with the whole. Our vibrations are our 6th sense, which we can experience thru focus  which can be achieved through meditation
·         I haven’t experienced the oneness but through reasoning and observing we can easily see that concept is at work all around us and within us.

  1. What you've written is the base hypothesis for us - who discussed, debated upon and arrived at certain scientific conclusions. But it has to be borne in mind that our understanding of these scientific concepts is itself very limited (with none of us having devoted a significant part of our time to detailed scientific study). So any conclusion(s) arrived at have critical limitations. Having said that, I think we did a pretty decent job at arriving at the said conclusion(s) through reasoning and logic, noting that we did not have any set objectives/ conclusions in mind. The natural flow of our discussion, and the subsequent direction it took, is what intrigues me still :) Cosmic play you think? :)

  2. It entirely encapsulates the picture that we reached in our minds of creation and its cosmic play where the absolute cannot be pointed out but exists if we connect basic scientific observation. It has been a revelation reached without any help but questioning simple concepts.

    It is a framework which definitely cannot be used to confirm the absolute picture which only has to be experienced to be proven right but this framework/viewpoint can be very well used to question/reject anything/any concept that we come to conclude of as absolute reality.

    By rejecting many things and turning inside we have a chance to one day experience it and this is the HOPE :)

  3. cosmic play for sure !! i agree with you...these are just observations and not conclusions. Conclusions will require significant amount of work, effort and at the end experience of the whole, which is something that all of us have been told is hard to do...but something in me makes me feel that the truth is all around us and right in front of us but we have been mislead and mis-trained to ignore the obvious and focus on the abnoxious :)

  4. There are two fundamental bases of what is "Reality" as per time-tested philosophical thought. Either reality exists outside us OR Reality exists inside us and is created by our brain / mind.

    So lets try to follow this train of thought.


    If Reality exists outside us, then the Universe is an object and we are the observers. Soul is not a part of the universe. So what is the origin of the soul ? And why is the soul different from the Universe ? And why is it "trapped" in this Universe ? Why does the soul need the universe to exist ?

    If Reality exists inside is ( OR we are the creators of Reality), then we are one and the same as the Universe as we see it. We originate from the Universe and the Universe originates from us. So why have created this universe ? What can we know from our own creation since the creation cannot be more knowledgeable than us.

    These are the Paradoxes of Reality
