Encompassing Infinity

 

Digital art in PhotoShop CS4. Tried to create a design that has the feel of depth, using paths, gradients, and layer effects. PhotoShop filters were not used.

This is not an abstract digital art. Rather it has reason to be designed this way. The black encompassing circle represents this universe. If you look closely, you will see the shape of the symbol of ‘infinity’. From a holistic view, you will make out the image of Lord Ganesha. This is to signify that the infinite vastness of this universe is contained within His might.

Love is a cycle

Love of a woman makes

• a wise man foolish
• a foolish man brave
• a brave man valiant
• a valiant man humble
• a humble man gentle
• a gentleman wise,
• and the cycle starts again from the top!

Love makes a man complete, by taking him through all extremities of intelligence and courage in his lifetime.

I am just a representation of ‘Me’

My body is just a pictorial representation of me in time and space. It by itself does not become me. It is but my instrument to understand and communicate with this world while I am here.

Earth and Moon

Two in love are like the earth and its moon; they have their space, a defined distance between them, yet stay steady in their orbital course in life together. Their individualism is held by the gravity of their affection and what they believe.

A man in true love feels -

I am the Earth, she is my Moon. I mean the ‘world’ to her. And she is the reason for positive tides in my life…and occasionally, my lunacy as well!

Love and Physics

Love defies the laws of physics

Similar poles attract

But again, love proves the laws of physics as well,

The gravity of love can bend time and space, make time shorter and the space closer!

Dual nature of life

Everyone’s life fluctuates between the world that is real, and the world you dream of, and only within your imagination. Your dreams today can manifest into reality tomorrow. There is dual nature to life, just like light, as explained by physics. Life cannot exist in a state of singularity. Light it up!

A true lover is a good liar

A good lover is a good liar. He lies to himself that,

• He won’t lose hope if he loses her
• He won’t lose faith if she dies
• He won’t miss her if she breaks his heart
• He won’t go crazy if he doesn’t see her even a day
• He won’t die if the love dies

At loss for words!

When in love, there is one loss that a man loves to be in. It is the loss of words in the presence of his beloved. It is such a pleasant feeling to be at loss of words, and then find just the right word to say.

Dreams in a dreary life

I walk miles in the desert, days in the scorching sun. I come upon a cactus plant with droplets of water in its leaves.

I traverse the parched land, the ground broken up by dryness, the sand crackled. I look up at a lone cloud, feel a raindrop fall on my nose and run to my lips. I am rejuvenated and walk on with hope.

I walk on in silence, not a sound to be heard. I stop to listen, isn’t anyone talking to me? Then I hear it, a faint music pleasant to the ears. I search for the source, can’t find one. Then I realize it is the music playing in my head, out of the vast expanses of my memories which is all I have.

I walk down a lane, there are a hundred people walking with me. Yet I was alone on the inside. Then one of them looked at me and I felt connected. For the first time I saw the crowd around me and felt one with the world.

I was drenched in the rain, never felt the cold. I was warm on the inside, by the heart that was beating. But the thought of losing what I love made me sweat, and I felt the cold rain for the first time.

Thinking of love, my thoughts flow, the words form, my hands move, the pen writes and the sonnet manifests by itself. Love made me a poet, a writer, a fool, the wise, a dreamer, an achiever. This is what I dream in a dreary life.

Flight to freedom!

Super Moon

Shot at Elliot’s Beach on March 19, 2011 at around 7 p.m. IST. The photo was captured using an Olympus FE-46 digital camera. March 19 is the day of the Super Moon. The waves were higher than usual with water coming in well into the shores more than it usually does! In this image you can see the super moon with its reflection in the ocean waters.

According to NASA, on March 19th, a full Moon of rare size and beauty will rise in the east at sunset. It's a super "perigee moon"--the biggest in almost 20 years. Full Moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the Moon's orbit. It is an ellipse with one side (perigee) about 50,000 km closer to Earth. A perigee full Moon brings with it extra-high "perigean tides," but this is nothing to worry about, according to NOAA. In most places, lunar gravity at perigee pulls tide waters only a few centimeters (an inch or so) higher than usual. Local geography can amplify the effect to about 15 centimeters (six inches)--not exactly a great flood.

Vision of the Multiverse System

The above image is my visualization of the parallel universes which exist in different dimensions of space and time. So, after we ‘die’ do we actually travel to another world in such a system? People across the world, of different cultures and races, who have had ‘near death’ experiences, have said that they felt like they were going through a bright tunnel of light (as shown in the image above). Are these tunnels of light actually a ‘wormholes’ in time-space through which the soul travels to another universe? What are these tunnels made of? Electrical fields? Electromagnetic fields? Or a form of energy field totally unknown to us yet?

One cannot travel through these tunnels in their bodily form. This is the reason why though time travel (simply, travelling to an universe or dimension that exists at a different time) is theoretically possible, it is still an impossibility when applying it to reality. Only an ‘out-of-body’ experience can make travel through these tunnels to the other dimensions, in other spaces, possible.

What happens in afterlife? (Part-3)

If we are really an active consciousness then is this world that we live in simply an environment that we perceive to be physically existent? If the brain is aided by the sensory organs in perceiving the environment, then is this world simply an entity that one perceives it to be? Is God one such entity too?

Talking about multiverses or parallel universes which in layman terms says that there is no single universe that we live in, but there are multiple layers of overlapping universes. So, at any given point of time, we perceive only the universe that we are a part of. This being the case, then can we travel across these universes? Is our fate or destiny decided by the universe that we live in?

Do non-physical entities travel to one or more such multiple universes that are at different dimensions or planes? Is this why we are not able to perceive these entities from within our dimensions when they are not within ours?

So how does this multi-verse system probably look like? Let’s find out soon enough.

How tolerant are we?

All through history you only read accounts of how humans have risen and fallen, never about how this planet itself ceased functioning or was destroyed. Humans have risen and fallen only based on the strength and sanity of their own thought. In that respect, tolerance is an effective test to the human capacity of controlling one’s own emotions or letting it go in situations that call for it.

Sadly I guess over a period of time we humans have become so cross-wired in our heads that we function exactly the opposite way when it comes to respecting our personal lives and values.

Even when getting a single cup of coffee in a road-side coffee shop, we expect quality customer service. A delay in service, and we flare up threatening to mar the reputation of the shop. Spill of a few drops and we threaten to complain so that the erring soul loses his/her job. We expect quality service everywhere we go.Go to a doctor’s clinic and you want to push your way ahead to see the doctor, coz you are busy. Stand in a queue and you say you are late and don’t have time to waste.

You have the power to earn money and the money to buy power. So you are not tolerant to the world around you. You want the best in everything that money can buy. You are part of the marathon that our generation has begun to run. This is one marathon that won’t stop.

But think, when was the last time you lived without the fear of losing all this? the last time you felt free, on the inside, deep within your mind. You bind yourself with predictable activities in a monotonous life within an unpredictable world. Looks like you are in the wrong place, aren’t you? Can you still let yourself just go and live life dangerously but for yourself nevertheless?

You work from morning to night, five to seven days a week within icy dungeons called The IT Industry. For whatever you are paid, they already have your morning, noon and night, in addition to your a** of course. You are eager to please, they are to fleece. Well, both happens, that is a certainty. You are ready to compromise on the small niceties in life, while going for the stars up the corporate ladder. Somewhere along the way we have become very tolerant that we let our lives be controlled for us. We live in a dream of unreal stardom, it will never be real freedom, born within you.

Live your life’s dreams, don’t run another man’s marathon.

Wake up to your potential reality.

What happens in afterlife? (Part-2)

Many of us believe in heaven and hell. We believe these to be separate far away destinations to which we travel after we die. But take a different viewpoint here for a paradigm change in thought process. Rather heaven and hell, or more realistically the astral world, could instead be a different dimension rather that is non-distinctive. These dimensions may coexist or overlap over our own world of the mortals. Our living world is made up of multiple layers and we do not normally perceive all the layers. We exist, both in body and thought, only in the layer which is perceived by our consciousness. Our sensory organs are tuned to perceive only this layer. However, it is known that certain animals such as the dog has the capability to perceive the other dimensions as well. The layers of these dimensions which is an overlap of our physical world with the astral world can be viewed synonymous to the peels of an onion’s skin.

Death is never a change in a person’s life! Strange it may sound, yet true. Death is not equal to losing life. Life is never lost because the live energy within is never destroyed. You have to understand that the body is just a good conductor of electricity and in this case, the current that passes through the body, engaging all organs to work, is the life source energy. It takes form of the astral body.

The law of conservation of energy, an empirical law of physics, consequently leads to the conclusion that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but can only be transformed from one form to another. This being true, the astral body never gets destroyed. Our consciousness is part of this astral body and never part of the physical body. We have to view the physical body more like a storage device. The brain is more of a storage for information. Most of our conscious processing requires the energy of the astral body. This is the reason why, under the same parameters and conditions of test, individuals still display different mental capabilities, considering almost all humans are born with the same brain capacity physiologically.

With all personal retained by the person even after his/her transitioning to the next dimension, s/he continues to live among his/her family. Because this is the primary impulse/directive implanted into the consciousness.

In order to further discussion about afterlife we have to discuss things such as God, universe and the reality of this world that we live in.

This shall be continued in time…
