A Time for Timeless

Sundays are often good for catching up on activities missed out during the week. Or, Sundays could be used for leisure - whiling away the TIME. Oh, The TIME.

"Don't waste your time", is probably the most used warning, implying you have only limited TIME available to you. The warning - is it subtle or is it cruel? What is TIME? Is it linear or cyclical? Is it matter or energy? Is it the creation or the creator? Or is it something entirely different?

Evidence points towards the latter. It could be both linear and cyclical. As a tiny fraction of the circle would appear as a straight line in a two dimensional plane. But what about multi-dimensional existences - what form it would take there? Can it remain cyclical or linear in dimensions where no circles or straight lines exist?

Many of us would like to believe that the TIME or the clock started ticking the moment the universe was created. Or, the so called Big Bang happened. That does'nt explain what caused the Big Bang or the Creation. So, what was there before? If TIME did not exist, how was the Creation or the Big Bang timed?

Well the easy answer is to create the opposite of the Big Bang, i.e. the Big Crunch, or the Judgement Day or the PRALAYA. So, it would seem logical that the TIME will originate with the Big Bang and the universe will keep expanding to a limit which the mathematicians can calculate, then the universe will begin contracting into a Black Hole -again to a limit where it will begin expanding again thorugh Big Bang. So, the TIME may appear to be cyclical.

But since in this model the TIME begins and ends in every cycle, and even though each cycle may be of symmetrical duration, it becomes linear again. Probable but unlikely. Why?

Because a more likely explanation will be that TIME, like the Supreme Consciousness is an entity by itself or is the Supreme Conciousness itself or it is the Universe Management Tool of the Supreme Consciousness from which all the events flow in multi-linear fashion making the TIME both, matter as well as energy - past as well as the future - cause as well as the effect.

So, will a study on the TIMELESS state be the study of the Supreme Consciouness itself?

A New Kind of Software

It was a dull and mundane day. Humidity was high. Temperatures were soaring. Perspiration ruled. This was a perfect setting for introspection. And what better topic to intrsopect than the basic unsolved question of my existence.

Unsolved, because the amount of literature, thought streams and teachings that exist on this subject can hardly be ever read by one peson in one lifetime, leave alone understood. Each stream claims to be the TRUTH, some revealed, some analyzed and some deduced. Some can be verified, others can be experienced while some others can be discarded or accpeted.

So, a thought stuck me. Just as on the monitor of a computer, we see a beautiful graphic and love it. But inside the processor or on the hard disk it just a combination of some unintelligible letters and numbers. The operating system or the software converts these letters and numbers into a graphic for us to view.

Could it be possible that such a software exist inside our minds which allows us to not see the letters and numbers and visualize only the graphic (MAYA). In which case, all our attempts to understand the TRUTH will be futile.

Is that what Arthur C Clarke hinted at in 2001: A Space Odyssey and currently the great mathematician Steven Wolfram tries to prove in his pathbreaking book " A New Kind of Science". Could the esoteric's belief in awakening the KUNDALINI be the attempt to acquire the new software which will portray the reality as reality?

Who Knows.
