“For the mind to flower it has to go beyond what it
knows” Mother Meera
“Worshipping everything unknown in our life is prayer”
Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Think about it, you notice to have a body. You’re
reading this through your physical eyes but how much do you know of how your
eyes function, your brain or your metabolism
at this moment? Isn’t it odd that right now, while you are feeling to be seated
while reading this you yourself don’t know how you function?
So just like when a car is broke we bring it to the
mechanics, we bring ourselves to the doctor when we notice that something isn’t
working in us, and sometimes we don’t even know what it is! You can imagine how
better it would be to know how we function then! If we don’t even know how our
body works, imagine our emotions, mind. How do you feel, what are you thinking
in general and now?
From this we can understand that we don’t know
ourselves really 100%. At a temple of Apollo at Delphi it’s written “Know
thyself, and thou shalt know the universe and God.” There are unknown parts of us and science doesn’t
know the cure to all diseases neither. We don’t know everything about the human
body, about earth, imagine then the universe.
Is there a relationship between what happens inside
us and outside? Are these two aspects separated or is it just an
arbitrary choice of the mind to distinguish these?
Imagine this: a leaf of a tree at a microscope, when it
is enlarged, the same image, pattern is repeated again, at a smaller scale and
when that smaller scale is enlarged the pattern is repeated again and so on. In the end, the smaller pattern is a reflection of the overall pattern, right? In
the neuroscientific field researchers are starting to understand that there’s a
relationship between what’s happening in different sections of our brain and
the outside with algebraic topology (1).
Many ancient scriptures said it, that man (microcosm)
is a reflection of the universe (macrocosm). “As above, so below”, an other
guy, Hermes Trimegistus used to say.
These are all different ways to say that everything is our mirror, our reflection.
You have heard, maybe passing above your head that
thoughts create our reality, that thoughts are matter but we kind of tend to
forget this or think it’s just a way to say since we cannot see the thoughts
with our physical eyes.
Is there anything that connects the inside to the outside,
is separation a distorted perception or illusion of the mind?

1) Algebraic topology (AT) is a branch of mathematics that uses tools from
abstract algebra to study topological spaces. Studying the brain through AT,
scientists were able to map the brain able to create multi-dimensions.
