A Better Understanding of Mind, Body and Spirit
TAGS:  •   •   •   • 

A lot is said and written about mind, body and spirit. It even has its own genre on the bookshelf; but how many of us truly understand this triumvirate concept fully?

In the next essay, I will give a short version of my views on this important concept. If one truly understands this triumvirate, it could prove life altering.

The Body-Mind-Spirit union and Oneness

Before tackling this triumvirate concept, it is important to understand the concept of Oneness. Again, so many write about it and say: all is One. However, most never truly think or meditate upon it.

Let me start with a crude metaphor: in your living room, you will sit quietly while the sun is shining through the window, gently baking on your lap. You look around and see a few things you own; like the TV, stereo etc. Apart from that, you experience your living room as empty. However, this is only because you cannot 'tune in' to everything in that living room.

even though you cannot see or hear all of this 'noise', it is there, being part of your world. In fact, you are not separate from it.

In that very 'quiet' living room of yours, you will find all possible radio as well as TV station frequencies occupying the same 'space'. There are also millions of Internet data transfers happening via cellular microwave frequencies and ‘WiFi’ radio frequencies. The very sunlight falling unto your lap is not just mere sunlight; it is a plethora of visible as well as invisible electro-magnetic frequencies, ranging from visible light to infrared and ultra-violet, to x- and gamma rays, intermingled with the odd neutrino now and then. There are sub and ultra sound frequencies from various earth activities, and so it goes.

Best of all: all this inaudible and invisible 'noise' mentioned above is only in the third dimension. I haven't even touched the other dimensions yet.

My point is this: even though you cannot see or hear all of this 'noise', it is there, being part of your world. In fact, you are not separate from it. All that 'noise' is in fact vibration, just like your body (explained later) as well as your brain waves, transmitted or broadcast into space and time.

But the interesting thing about 'Space & Time' is this: it is an illusion. It is a mere spectre, projected from a deeper 'unseen' dimension' as can be seen from David Bohm's explanation of Alain Aspect experiments done in Paris in the 1980's* - electrons separated from their 'mother' atom, will 'communicate' with each other faster than the speed of light, which violated Einstein’s relativity theorem. David Bohm (a physicist and contemporary of Einstein) postulated that there is no such thing as 'separateness'; that separateness is only an illusion of 'enfolded space' observed by us.

Imagine this: you are sitting in a little boat on the ocean with two icebergs, one in front and another behind you. Then, suddenly 'God's Hand' will come from the heavens, and press on the iceberg's tip in front of you. Suddenly, the iceberg behind you also moves, and you wonder: how can both icebergs move if only one was touched by the 'Hand of God'?

But if you would to dip your head under the surface of the water, you would notice that it is indeed one iceberg with only two little exit pinnacles above the surface!

Indeed, our consciousness mostly drifts in a little boat on the surface of the universe, very few of us noticing this...

This is how we (and EVERYTHING else) are connected: we are all connected in a hidden 'inner' dimension/s, our bodies merely the tips of the One iceberg.

Now, let us play 'reductionism made simple', and see body, mind and spirit in the falsified 'separate' mode.
