                           WHAT  IS  AWARENESS

 

 

An esteemed fellow member of our Group said :

 

In deep meditation, when one is with oneself at the level of soul, he becomes unaware of time.

 

Yes, it is true. At भौतिक स्तर, any awareness is because of "relativity".

 

Relativity means, one thing being in relation to another. Likewise, any thing losing relationship with another is also "relative", i.e. we notice the change. For example, if the table was empty, and now there is a pot on top of it, we notice the pot, i.e we become aware of the pot. Why?..because of the change.

 

Now going a level deeper, let us say, there is no pot on the table. The table is empty. Assume that our eyes are closed, and now we open them, and see the table, i.e. we become aware of the table. This awareness also occured because of relativity. What relativity? ... there occured a change. .. we went from closed eyes when we saw nothing, to open eyes that saw the table. Again, we became aware of the table... because of the change. 

So, I have attempted above to define awareness at "भौतिक स्तर"।

In meditation, we are unaware of time, because we do not notice the passage of time, i.e. we do not notice the change in time.

 

As we begin meditation, these spells of unawareness will be very short, may be a few seconds, or a second, or even less. This is when we say, "Oh, I do not have concentration". Actually, we do have concentration, but it is very short, even if just for a nano-second. Now as we lay these nano-seconds next to each other, we are in TIMELESSNESS for that short length of time. And when we come out of this TIMELESSNESS, and notice the time, we say, "Oh, I meditated for 'x' length of time.

Summarizing, thus far I have defined aware, unaware. Through this I have defined the feeling of being in meditation. This, in turn, told us what is TIMELESSNESS.

With best regards,

Respected Vijay Ji,

Thanks for explaining the time with relativity...

I want to simplify it further by some examples..

1. A naughty boy got punishment in his school to stand in the ground in full sunshine for 15 minutes. It was too hot, and every minute was as long as an hour for him. In 15 minutes he felt as if he is standing for last 1-2 hours.

2. Two lovers meet after a week, three - four hours pass by flying as if it was just few minutes.

time was neither expanded nor shortened in the above conditions. It was only relative awareness of the moments that was felt.

**i******************************************************************************************************************************************

Second thing, which I sometimes think,

The time that we look at, in our clocks is based on rotations of Earth on its own axis, and also its revolutions around the SUN, that hours and  years are calculated.

SUN is stable in the center of our solar system. All the planets have different speeds ,so, span of a day and year are different for every planet.

If we are on the EARTH, our consciousness relates it with Earth's movements and rotations. and we relate with time accordingly.

But when we think of our solar system, WE WILL GET CONFUSED.

And when for whole galaxy and milky way, what will be the time criteria.

AND I do sometimes think that ether is everywhere and all the milky way, galaxy, planetary system, everything is embedded in this ether (AAKASH) which is measureless, and is habitat for everything. It is enjoying every motion of planets, stars, particles without any relativity. 

if one is aware of that expansion or if one is UNIFIED with that consciousness the CONCEPT OF TIME becomes irrelevant.

Then one feels merging of everything in shoonya and emerging of everything from there. Every moment there is a game of merger and emergence, in a perfect harmony.

I will look forward for your understanding on this... 

Regards.

 

Respected Prachi ji:

 

I love the two examples you gave above to explain the relativity of time.

They bring home the point so easily and immediately.

 

Yes, every entity , and I under score every entity, is in Aakash. I will expand on it soooon. I never like to fire an answer, where I know I need to do more contemplation. This topic of Aakash is so vast that I need to contemplate first, in order to give the the honor that you and your question deserve.

 

Meanwhile, be thinking about Prana, because we can not disassociate Aakash from Prana. Any conversation about one without the other would only be incomplete.

 

Also, you have introduced Shoonya here, and we will need to be careful here, because we need to clarify if you are referring to Shoonya as defined by Buddhism, which is fine so long as we do not get ourselves entangled by discussing two philosophies simultaneously.

 

Can you kindly define Shoonya  as you meant here?

 

Thank you for the richness that you brought to the discussion, both with your questions and your answers.

 

With Pleasant Regards,

Vijay
