According to a recent survey in different western countries more than half of the people feel alone. The loneliness touches each social class even CEO (half of them touched as well) by this scourge so it means that phenomenon is even not linked to richness. The feeling of loneliness has been proved to be bad for health worse than smoking 15 cigarettes per day! The problem comes from the essence of modern society for which we separate the ego from the environment. All esoteric currents reveal this separation is purely an illusion and even the new science is on that way.
We are not ALONE but ALL ONE. But concretely, practically, How come?
Everyone has grown up in a scientific world and used to the concept that we live in a material universe, an inert universe, and a universe of dead matter. And because of that, it is difficult instinctively to grasp that we are not really living in a death universe: the universe is overwhelmed of consciousness at its basis. What we have seen by studying for 3 centuries of classical physics it is what we called macroscopic physics and classical physics… But quantic mechanics even at the molecular level, the level at atomic: nucleons, sub nucleons, in the realm of quantic mechanics the idea of a particle is replaced by the idea of the wave function. What is a wave function? Technically it is a vector in a linear space. What is a linear space? What is made of? What is the substance of nature? Well, a wave function, a vector in a linear space are the same stuff that thoughts are made of. We are really living in a thoughts universe, a conceptual universe. The quantum world, quantum mechanics is really the plain of information, the plain of potentialities, waves of information, waves of potential electrons. It is important to precise “potential”, it is not only “electron” it is “potential electron”. You have to ask the question: waves of what concretely? What is the field which is waving? It is the ocean? No, it is the Universal Ocean and ocean of pure potentialities, an ocean of abstract potential existence that we call the unified field or superstring field and that’s what we are made of.
That’s why the great Sufi Rumi said wisely: “You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean.”
This is exactly what the Vedanta (the Hindu holy scriptures) revealed many centuries ago and that science tends to discover: we live in a holographic fractal universe, it is what we called the Indra’s net:
The drop contains the whole and is the reflection of the whole like the drop of the spider net:
That’s why Tesla (the great scientist) said: “Every living being is an engine connected to the driving wheel of the universe. While one might think that each living being is affected only by its direct environment, its outer sphere of influence extends to infinity.”
More down to earth if I can afford J there is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us and it is right at the source base of mind, right of the source of thought and this is also at the source of all matter.
The tight physics tried to grasp the physical reality to really understand what is made of: what are the core building blocks of life at the basis of all. Life, the universe slips to your fingers and you come up with something which is increasingly abstract and it comes to the realm of pure abstraction and this is what the unified field is: pure abstract potential, pure abstract self-aware consciousness.
At the basis of all life diversity, there is unity (YOUnity). At the basis, you and I are one. And that unity at the basis of mind and matter is Universal Consciousness. The eye with which we look at the original field and the eye which is looking at us is the same eye, this is the idea that Nietzsche evoked with his own words.
With that deep understanding that consciousness is not created by the brain. It is purely an outcome molecular chemical processes in the brain but it is fundamental in nature, it is the very core of nature, we call it the unified field.
Erwin Schrödinger (Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933) said two things extremely important“The multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind. … is mere appearance (Maya)’, in reality, they are all only aspects of the one being [….] Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.”
Secondly, he said“No self is of itself alone. It has a long chain of intellectual ancestors. The “I” is chained to ancestry by many factors … This is not a mere allegory, but an eternal memory.”
Now that we have this fundamental understanding of consciousness is, we can solve the problem of “mind and body”. We can see how consciousness can promulgate through our physiology up to become the consciousness we experience and perceive with our senses. There is a foundation linked rigorously, neuroscience with quantum physics, and all the so-called particles of the universe, the forces of the universe, everything in the universe are just ripples on that ocean of existence, that’s the unified field and that field is not a non-material field it is automatically the field of consciousness. And all our separated consciousness wherever there is consciousness is merely consciousness linked to the fact my consciousness, your consciousness is utterly that. All in the universe is nothing more than that.
Planets, trees, people, animals, we are just waves of vibrations of this superstring field. We are really united at our core. If I talk to you face to face there is only one consciousness in the room. It is you, it is me, it is each all of us. We individualize our consciousness through the filter of our nervous system but this consciousness is really inner subjectivity. The self in the overall sense it is universal, and knowing that or experience it, it is called enlightenment and has been called enlightenment through ages.
All in our material world is purely made of energy. As Einstein specified it “What we have called ‘matter’ is energy, the vibration of which has been greatly reduced in order to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.”
If we put together all the matter concentrated it would not be bigger than a small pea. Since the big bang, nothing has been created, only space in between the particles is larger. As the French scientist Lavoisier said, “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.” As everything, every single particle is coming from this big bang. The iron from your car is the same than in your blood, both come from the big bang it means and thereby energetically they are still all connected. Jean-Emile Charon, physicist and philosopher said: “In the universe, every atom is connected to every other atom, through the substance (spirit) of antimatter, and every knowledge is potentially accessible to every atom of the universe.”The human body is only made of atoms and thereby to all atoms of the universe. We are all connected to the matrix source of everything, the common thread of all form (and potential) of life.
I can quote Max Planck (Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918) who said: “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”
the filter of the personality (persona in Greek meaning « masks » because we wear masks due to our education, the social environment, our relationships…) impede to realize the reality as a whole. This is what the Hindu called “Mayas” the illusions.
Carl Jung one of the two fathers of the psychoanalysis said: “In addition to our immediate consciousness….there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals.” The interconnectivity of the reality is extremely important: we are co-creating and observing at the same time which is almost impossible to understand in a normal state of mind, only the modified consciousness allows it.
The fact to belong to something higher: an association, a mission, a group, a community, an ideal, a utopia, a circle of reflection… with the notion of belonging and the feeling of being useful, it creates the most powerful hormone of harmony called oxytocin.
The fact to realize we are not ALONE but ALL ONE is essential to reach the enlightenment allowing to you to access to the YOUnity the outward/inward harmony to be more supportive with others if we want to shift to the new paradigm.
Einstein said wisely: The human being is part of a whole that we call the universe, a part that has its limits in time and space. We experience ourselves, with our thoughts, our feelings, our perceptions, as if we are a separate entity and separate from the rest. But this is an optical illusion of consciousness and this illusion becomes our prison. We build a reality in which we include, through our perceptions, our desires, and feelings, only ourselves, the beings and places that are close to us. Our task as human beings is to liberate ourselves from this prison and expand our circle to infinity to include, in love and compassion, all beings, nature and the universe in all its beauty. The true value of a human being is measured by his ability to free himself from his limits and to live the totality, the infinite, unlimited value of Being. If humanity wants to survive, a radically new way of being and thinking is needed.
In Shambali you will experience through many ways this feeling of belonging to something higher, this deep connection to your higher self and to the outer world which is also a part of yourself as both: your higher self and the outer world two faces of the same medal that we win by understanding even “innerstanding” as a whole with a “wholistic” approach.
