Hi,
Our consciousness which is the metaphysically given is either male or female.That is,the proper sex of our body is pre-determined by our consciousness! Similarly the consciousness itself is either Man or Bird or Fish. And thus the end point of evolution of our bodies is pre-determined and guided by our souls to reach the end point which is Either Man or Bird or Fish! ![]() |

Hi,
And one has to clearly see that the process of evolution is restricted to our genes and bodies and determined by our consciousness and the law of Identity! There is in fact no evolution for our consciousness or soul. It is uncreated,eternal and unchanging! ![]() |

Hi,
There is something remarkable about our dreams.If we see a certain place or meet a particular person during a given day,then during the same night we see some 3 or 4 dreams,which is about when we were in the same place or met the same person in our past lives! From the vast amount of memories locked in our subconsciousness, our consciousness seems to pick and choose particular memories which are relevant to our experiences of the given day and show them to us as dreams! ![]() |

Hi Everybody,
I read this in a newspaper. Relationships are one of the best and toughest paths to self-realisation. Some say soulmates are the ones who can push our buttons the best and who drive us crazy at times.Other believe that everything flows effortlessly and peacefully with soulmates. The issue of relationships becomes very interesting when we remember we each are eternal souls.When meeting a soulmate time seems to stand still for a moment.Brain seems to whirr faster than usual as if trying to comprehend the various energies and feelings.Gaze is held longer than customary or comfortable during first meetings. Soulmates are two people who are extremely compatible on most levels. The connection is usually extensive,spanning several lives.Our soulmates have generally shared many experiences with us and know us well! We [we and our soulmate] are a combination of male and female energies and our challenge is to harmonize the male and female within each lifetime! |

Hi,
The story of Ramayana is 23,000 pages long.And the story of Krishna is even much longer[It has 1,00,000 verses]! And the skin of Ram had a greenish hue! ![]() Edited by User 2,648,842 on Jul 20, 2006 7:22 AM |

Hi,
Our consciousness is Irreducible Primary Element of nature.At the end of every lifespan of the universe there occurs the complete destruction of all the elements in nature and they are reduced to their fundamental irreducible constituents. The universe when it has collapsed to the sub-atomic size,individual atoms do not exist then.The atoms starting from the lightest elements like hydrogen and helium etc. are made from thier constituents particles when the universe begins again from the Big bang.Our consciousness always remains unchanged because it is a fundamental irreducible element.And there is no creation and destruction possible for the irreducible elements. And the earth keeps making fossil fuels like crude oil,natural gas and coal from the buried remains of plants and animals and from the one-celled plants and animals in the ocean bed.The earth has been making this fossil fuels for the last few billion years!So it is more likely that we may never run out of fossil fuels in the next 4 billion years until when the sun engulfs the earth. It is likely that at the end of 4 billion years the reserves would reach exactly the zero level when we don't need it anymore. And one has to see this point clearly - THAT THE SUN WHICH IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF ENERGY FOR THE EARTH IS A MILLION TIMES LARGER THAN THE EARTH ITSELF. And when conditions become inhospitable to live with our bodies at the end of 4 billion years, we {all the living species} simply do not assume bodies anymore.We just exist as our souls and watch for the next birth of the Universe! ![]() Edited by User 2,648,842 on May 24, 2007 7:11 AM |

Hi,
In one of the postings above I had said about the awesome expansion of the universe starting from the singular point. When the Big Bang occurs the entire universe travels at a speed which is unbelievably higher than the speed of light! An exception here. But it is a normal thing.When you squeeze the entire universe into a sub-atomic size,do you expect the universe to recoil back with the speed of light?It would obviously jump back with a million billion times the speed of light!Systems always like to be in their natural state.They don't like the Unnatural states, you see! Another exception is likely for our pure consciousness or souls.Our souls,I think can travel at the speed of thought rather than the speed of light! Light takes 8 minutes to reach the earth from the sun.But our thouhgts reach the sun in less than one second! Which means that nothing in this universe can travel at the speed of consciousness.It can travel the length and breadth of the universe in less than one second which essentially means any distance possible in the universe! Because consciousness is consciousness!It is more than just a ray of light! If consciousness is some billions of light years away from the earth, it would not take billions of years to reach the earth travelling at the speed of light! Consciousness or our souls would simply reach the earth in less than one second with the speed of our thoughts! OR IT MIGHT TAKE A FEW 1000 YEARS TO TRAVEL THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.BUT THAT WOULD BE THE LIMIT! OUR SOULS WOULD NOT TAKE MORE TIME THAN THAT!The evidence for this - None of the consciousness is roaming the universe because they couldn't find their way back to the earth! See that the function of our pure consciousness or souls is to observe or be aware of the Whole Universe no matter how large it is, and not just observe a small part of the universe.So for this reason our consciousness is actually capable of travelling with the speed of thought rather than the speed of light! ![]() Edited by User 2,648,842 on Oct 18, 2006 3:44 AM |

Hi,
The people who refuse to believe in rebirths - here is a nice joke for them. Since I have two parents and my parents have two parents each,and thus every generation I go back, If I add some 64 generations behind me assuming average lifespan of 65 years, I get the sum as = 2 raised to 64 -1, Which is some 64 * 65 = 4160 years ago. So 4160 years ago my ancestors alone add up to 2 raised to 64 -1 = 18.6 * 10 raised to 18 people! A simple estimation shows that the entire human population which existed in the last 12,000 years does not exceed 20 to 24 billion.Which is only 24 * 10 raised to 9 people! ![]() But even with this argument,Carl Sagan missed this simple point and was adamant in his belief that he will never be born again till his last breath!See the quotes of Sagan and Einstein in the book 'Billions and Billions' by Sagan. But even the assumption of lineal ancestryfor any person is wrong.In the last 12,000 years all of the families for most of the time chose not to be born.So there were gaps when the entire family of say a particular person simply existed as souls and did not assume any body.And thus the total world population during the last 12,000 years was only about 20 billion and not 18.6*10 raised to 18 or more! I wonder if the consciousness or souls of Carl Sagan and Albert Einstein is now residing on planet Jupiter and they have some reservations in coming back to the earth again!And I also feel for those embarrasing moments for them when they just left their bodies and watched their own bodies from outside!Of course, some other souls would have immediately come up to them and patted them from behind and exclaimed - 'WELCOME TO HEAVEN!' ![]() Edited by User 2,648,842 on Sep 5, 2006 8:33 AM |

Hi,
I read this in krishna.org.According to them our souls are neither matter nor energy!We cannot perceive them through our five senses. They are simply a separate entities of the universe!So once we see that they are neither matter nor energy, we can understand why our souls are not restricted by the speed of light! ![]() Gravity cannot pull consciousness,since pure consciousness is neither matter nor energy. So we as pure consciousness actually watch the Big bang explosion from outside the universe!
