HAS THE UNIVERSE
MATERIALISED FROM THOUGHT POWER?
Several believe that the essence of creation is light. Some
believe that the universe has materialised from thought power of God. There is
need to examine the two factors light
and thought power. Some scientists as well as saints of India believe that we
are surrounded by other worlds under different wave lengths (other than wave
lengths of light ) and hence we cannot see them. We can see light rays. But we
cannot see thought rays because perhaps they are under different wave lengths. Let us consider the visible light rays of our
world first.
Light travels at the speed of about 300000
kilometres per second. One light year is the distance light travels in a year.
If we assume a star with planets with intelligent life on one of them at a
distance of 400 light years from earth, it takes light from earth to reach that
planet about 400 years, as light travels very long distances without being
destroyed.. They can now only see life on Earth 400 years back (probably the
time of Shakespear), if they are technically developed to look into far
distances in the universe.
The intelligence and hence space
technology on Earth is developing at a faster rate. Hubble space telescope and
Kepler space telescope are examples to look into the universe. There is
constant watch to find exoplanets (planets outside solar system revolving
around some other stars). Nasa’s venerable Kepler space telescope has so far
found more than 1000 exoplanets. Out of these eight planets are less than twice
the size of Earth and are in the habitable zones of their stars, where life is
possible. Kepler space telescope is continuously monitoring more than 1,50,000
stars beyond our solar system for exoplanets and for intelligent life on them.
Recently scientists using Kepler satellite
found a Sun-like star (Kepler-444) with 5 planets of size varying between the
size of Mercury and Venus dating back to the early stages of formation of our
galaxy (11.3 billion years ago). The system is about two and half times older
than our solar system. If intelligent life exists there, they should be far
more superior to us. We have to wait and see far further development of space
technology on Earth to find intelligent life in exoplanets. What we have seen
is the state of star (Kepler 444) and its planets about 11.3 billion years ago,
as the light started from them reached our planet after 11.3 billion years.
These may not be existing as on today. The star would have been exploded and
expanded to the size of orbit of its planets, duly taking them into its body
and destroying life if any in it and finally reducing itself to a dwarf. Any
intelligent life with far superior space technology would have left the star
and planets to some other star and inhabitable planets.
Ancient Maha Rishi’s of India were famous
for thought technology. They meditated in Himalayas and acquired several mental
and spiritual powers. They were able to materialize and dematerialize things. They were also able to look into the past and
to some extent into the future too of any individual and also on the world
events. If they have to look into the past life of any individual, their
thought rays should be able to intercept the light rays of at least up to 100 years back, and convert them into proper
vision. In such cases their thought rays should be more faster than the light
rays. The speed of the thought rays seems to depend on the individual strength
of thought. Those who developed greater concentration and greater strength of
mind can look into greater depths of any individual life. They claim that they
have seen the worlds like SWARGA and NARAKA, where the soul goes after death.
If it is true, these may be worlds existing on Earth itself or in solar system
itself under different wave lengths, which are not visible to us. Eminent
scientists also accept the existence of other worlds in different wave lengths
in solar system and on earth itself. Perhaps life after death (Astral world) is
of such a world. Our souls after leaving physical body live in a different
world of different wavelengths and hence we cannot see them. These souls again
take rebirth as human beings at the appropriate time depending on their Karma
and the adjustment of planetary positions to suit their Karma as per belief of
many Indian saints. Some believe that the spirit after death travels taking light rays as vehicle. But it
seems more probable to say that the spirit takes other shorter wave lengths
(other than wave lengths of light) and travels in the universe, which are not
visible to the naked eye of human beings. Those wave lengths are very short and
very fine and can pass through matter of this world. Also these spirits that
are capable of reducing their form to infinitesimal size take these short wave
lengths as their vehicle and can also
pass through materials of this world. That is what the ghosts are also doing.
These wave lengths and also spirits /ghosts are not visible to the naked eye of
our world. There are instances of reborn babies after some time remembering
their events of past birth. These were verified by scientists practically.
According to research, some children of the age between the ages of two and
three years remember their past births. And they forget the same when they
acquire the age of six or seven years. Those who die with greater attachment to
this world will be reborn earlier. Generally it takes 500 to 1000 years for an
average man to be born again. The saints with greater detatchment to this world
takes about 2000 years to be reborn, until they finally remain in astral world,
according to Indian saints. Professor Jim Tucker who investigated on the
phenomena of rebirth agrees the possibility of rebirth.
But there are no instances that the saints are
able to look into the distant planets or stars in detail. Perhaps the wave
lengths of thought is different from that of light rays, and the past and
future of mankind and the world events are recorded under different wave lengths.
And hence the Saints with great power, when they can utilize the sixth sense
latent in them and enter into suitable wave lengths can look into the past and
present of anything. In addition to
looking into the past lives, some are able to foretell the future of others
lives accurately. Here the question of light rays won’t arise in foretelling
the future. If so what should be the media through which thought rays pass
through is a matter to be considered. To some extent individual life and world
events can be predicted based on planetary movements (Astrology). This
indicates that there should be some relationship between mind matter and soul.
There is a theory that the entire universe has come out of a great thought
force. If it is so there should be definite relationship between mind matter
and soul. Huge planets of our solar system and the star (Sun) will definitely
influence life on earth. The media of influence is still not known. But one of
the finest rays (thought rays) of human beings must be having connection with
this media. Future studies both on science and thought rays may reveal
something. There should be some interaction between the scientists and the
saints with great thought power to know the media through which the thought
rays are communicated.
India is famous for thought technology
since very long ancient times. The ancient saints of India developed enormous
powers of thought technology by meditating in Himalayas. They were able to
leave their bodies duly keeping their bodies away from decomposition and
reenter their bodies after visiting several places in the universe. The
processes were kept as a secret only. They were revealing the secrets to their
disciples only. Hence the secrets did not become popular and lost in due
course.
The following quotations from the book
“Autobiography of a YOGI” by Paramahansa Yogananda may reveal some ancient
secrets of life.
“The stream
of knowledge,” Sir James Jeans writes in ‘ The Mysterious Universe’, “is heading
towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great
thought than like a great machine.”
“Twentieth
century science is thus sounding like a page from hoary Vedas.”
“God encased
the human soul successively in three bodies—the idea or causal body; the subtle
astral body, the seat of man’s mental and emotional nature; and the grass
material body. On earth a man is equipped with his physical senses. An astral
person works through his consciousness and feelings and a body made of
lifetrons. A causal-bodied being remains in the blissful realm of ideas.”
“So long as
the soul of man is encased in one, two or three body-containers, sealed tightly
with the corks of ignorance and desires, he cannot merge with the sea of
Spirit.----- The undeveloped man must undergo countless earthly and astral and
causal incarnations in order to emerge from his three bodies.”
In each stage there may be countless
incarnations until the soul is merged with the sea of Spirit.
“The law of miracle is operable by any man
who has realized that the essence of creation is light.” It is not known that
how the light is connected to thought. There should be intimate connection
between thought and light.
Also the
following from the BIBLE gives the idea that the universe came out of great
thought.
“In the
beginning was the word, and the word was with the God, and the word was God.”
(St. John, chapter 1-1). This also reveals that the Universe came out of great
thought power of God only. “God created man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him; male and female created he them.” (GENESIS chapter 1-27).
There is a lot of difference in the lives of human beings and other creatures
of this world on Earth. This is a clear proof for what is written above.
The following from the book ‘THOUGHT
POWER’ by Sri Swami Sivananda may be of some use to understand creation.
“What is
this world after all? It is nothing but the materialisation of the thought
forms of Hiranyagarbha or God.” --- “The powerful thoughts of great sages and
Rishis of yore are still recorded to the Akasa.”--- “Yogins who have
clairvoyant vision can perceive those thought-images. They can read them.”
Conclusion
Many theories and the experience of
several suggest that the universe is materialized from thought power of God.
Science has not yet reached that stage to prove it. But it is closing in. We
have to wait and see. According to Big Bang theory the radius of the universe
about 15000 million years back was almost zero, and the universe started
expanding.
Since God created man in his own image,
every human being may also be called as mini God. Ancient maha rishis of India
were capable of producing mini matter by meditating in Himalayas, utilizing
thought power given to them by creator.
Unable to understand the secrets of
creation, different groups of men started thinking in a different way and as a
result different religions are formed at different areas of the planet earth.
But all religious prayers generate positive thought power. This is the ultimate
operating system of mankind. One should learn to generate positive optimistic
thought and grip it in mind. In order to increase the strength of thought it
may be advisable to practice black spot gazing or crystal gazing or star
gazing. Practice of meditation also strengthens mind. If the mind is strong
enough there can be response from God to the positive concentrated thought kept
in mind. Right thinking can reduce or remove inherent deceases and even favor
circumstances and nullify evil influences of planets and enhance good
influences of planets. With negative pessimistic thoughts the opposite will
happen. Whether one is religious or not it is always safe to follow thought
technology either through religion or scientifically.
It is unfortunate to point out that due to
lack understanding of basic principles of religions, there are frequent
religious clashes right from the ancient times. A simple understanding as
mentioned above may reduce religious clashes paving way for unity among
humanity. There is no point in killing human beings in the name of God and
religion. Only proper understanding of God and religion can save humanity from
such killings.
