I had a brief moment of “epiphany” yesterday when without seeing anything or hearing anything, my mind was inundated with answers that I was always looking for. The experience lasted a few seconds but it would take me pages to write about what I learned during those brief seconds. The amazing thing was that the knowledge did not come to me in linear form, the way we gain them by reading a book or listening to someone, but in a flash, all at once.
I always believe since my childhood that we humans are all spiritually connected with each other. But I had no logical explanation ‘how’. Many times when I missed someone and wished that I could be able to meet that person, and somehow that person would rang me up or come to visit my home. I knew that it was not a mere chance event but I just couldn’t prove it with logic. So, then I would try to convince my self that it is nothing more than a coincidence.
It was a time when I was around 15 years old when I saw the movie ‘Anand’. In that movie there is a scene where the hero says that ‘every body has a transmitter and a receiver’. That dialogue just struck my mind. It was a fascinating thought to me. The more I thought about it, the more it looked me convincing. But yet it was a philosophical thought and hence could not be proven. But at least it convinced me. And I thought I will someday write a thesis on this subject. I called this theory the ‘Magical Wave theory’. At that time cellular phones were still to be invented.
Time went by. I never talked about this subject with any of my friends, teachers or family members. Because I always thought they won’t believe me. And also I still had no logic to back this statement. The only time I shared this subject with someone was my chat friend fishypie. But still at that time I was not too serious about my thought. I got too busy with my job and my personal life that I did not get much time to reflect over my thoughts.
It was a time yesterday night that I was reading an article on “Rational Spirituality” and my mind was imbued again with these amazing philosophical thoughts. After I finished reading that article, suddenly it seemed that gates of knowledge flung open in front of me and I received answers to questions I did not thought I will ever get.
In just those few seconds my mind recalled and gathered all the necessary information I was looking to prove this theory. The amazing thing was that my mind just started searching all the knowledge about this subject that I had in my unconscious mind over the years. The knowledge about ‘Wave theory’ which I read in my 10th standard in physics that how light is transmitted as waves, the knowledge about cellular technology that I learned in my first job in telecom company, even that stupid dialogue in movie Star Wars, ‘May the force be with you’ that I always found silly seemed an inspiring thought to me that time.
This was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. What I learned in those seconds I had not read elsewhere. They came to me like a flash of lightning. It was like I was standing in the dark all my life and suddenly there is lightning. It lasts only few seconds but in those few seconds I got a glimpse of a world of pure knowledge hitherto unknown to me. The experience is a sensation of AHA, when something “clicks” and everything falls into place. Those seconds gave me immense pleasure and confidence that now I can start working on my thesis.
BTW at least now I understand why the magical wave theory didn’t work in creating the feeling in their minds. Actually the concept just works same as a cellular phone. You can call someone on their mobiles and their mobiles will ring up too. But it’s their choice now to pick up the phone or not. If they don’t, it will just be a missed call but it wasn’t a fault of cellular company. In the same way the magical way theory will convert your feelings into vibrations and send it to them but you cant do anything if their mind is not conscious enough or willing enough to capture them and those vibration will just be lost in thin air.
