  Dream Travel and Precognition Time travel is a consistently fascinating concept. While it’s true that objects with mass can’t reach the speed of light—a limitation that restricts almost every physical method of achieving time travel, with the exception of light itself—recent research has primarily focused on these physical approaches. However, another potential avenue to consider is non-physical, such as traveling through dreams. My focus here is purely on the idea of consciousness seeing into the future. While I've read about concepts like astral projection, I haven’t experienced it myself nor met anyone who has, so I won’t be delving into that topic. Instead, I’ll concentrate on dreams that seem to reveal future events. There are even some real-life incidents that make you wonder. For example, a colleague of mine dreamt about his brother’s death, and two days later, the same thing happened, even though his brother had been perfectly fine just before. Another instance is when m...

  So , after our little journey through how the universe came to be and that first spark of "me" in the last piece, we're now getting into the nitty-gritty of what actually makes us feel like us. Think of it this way: we laid the groundwork with those big cosmic ideas and the initial sense of being an individual. Now, we're zooming in to see how that "me" starts to take shape ,fine tuning and interact with everything around it. This next part is all about how that feeling of being separate comes about and how we begin to experience the world as individuals –how this sensory system act and how it helpful to grasp things around us. Budhi tattva Once we believe we are separate beings, the Buddhi Tattva begins to emerge. Think of it like a broad concept gradually narrowing down to a precise point, like the tip of a pen – that’s the power of Buddhi Tattva. It allows us to differentiate, to see that two is not the same as three. We start evaluating based on these ...

 Part 2 In my previous article, I explained the first five pure tattvas. If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, I recommend taking a quick look before we continue. These five tattvas are known as the pure tattvas, and they relate to the formation of the cosmos. Today, we'll delve into individuality."that is atma tattvas  Let's begin with an analogy. It will be helpful to grasp the following tattvas before we explore each one individually Analogy Imagine a vast, supreme body of water. If a pebble is thrown into it, droplets fly out. Each droplet, now separate from the immense water body, might feel disconnected, like an independent entity adrift in the air – this feeling of separation is Maya. The brief time the droplet spends in the air is like Kala, our individual perception of time. Gravity, the unseen force, inevitably pulls the droplet back, causing it to merge once more with the larger body – this downward pull, this unavoidable return, is akin to Niyati. The...

      Part-1 The tattvas I t’s easy to forget that English, despite its global reach today, is a relatively modern tongue when set beside ancient languages like Tamil and Sanskrit. This difference in age sometimes creates a curious bias: we tend to readily label anything written in English as ‘scientific,’ while works in other languages risk being dismissed as purely ‘religious’ or even ‘superstitious.’ Yet, the underlying ideas can be profoundly insightful, regardless of the language they’re expressed in. Take Shakti. In English, we might translate it as ‘energy,’ a term readily accepted in science. But when the word ‘Shakti’ itself appears, it’s often immediately associated with a deity and deemed religious, not scientific. As we’ve discussed, these ancient Indian languages are incredibly old, and their vocabulary, though not English, can certainly articulate profound scientific or proto-scientific understandings of the universe.” A random YouTube suggestion about tattv...

  T he summer night was hot, so I decided to sleep on the terrace. The sky was a dark, deep blue, scattered with countless stars. Looking up at them sparked so many questions within me. Let's explore them one by one. Dream World or Sensory World: Which is Real ? Dream World: I won’t simply reiterate the scientific or common definitions of dreams that are easily found online. Instead, I define it as the world we experience through our consciousness while asleep. Sensory World: This is the world we perceive and experience through our sensory systems and consciousness when we are awake. Commonalities Between the Dream World and the Quantum Realm (Disclaimer: I am not suggesting that the dream world and the quantum realm are the same.) As I mentioned earlier, both worlds seem to be shaped by consciousness. The dream world feels akin to the quantum world. In our dreams, we don’t possess a physical body; instead, we have a consciousness-based existence, and sometimes we can even fly. Shi...
