(this is a forward for yogic science...should go somewhere else)
Here is a visual to ponder:
Think of yourself as a wheel..rolling through life, throwing energy forward with each turn.
The wheel keeps on rolling rolling rolling through time and slowly starts disintegrating and breaking apart until the wheel comes to a halt (death).
Kinda depressing but my intention is not cynical. Lets try another one:
Imagine reading a comic where you can see inside the characters mind. The metaphor for his/her mind is a dark room with a point of light in it. The vast majority of the rest is in total darkness. Then read on and see how this character goes about interacting in the world while carrying around this load of unillumined darkness.
These visuals are trying to convey the human condition.
The title sequence to the X-files says it the best, The truth is Out There. This is the conception of what seems to me, the western world. It seems that this perception mirrors the condition we are in. Seeking external stimulation because it gives us glimpses of what we intrinsically know, That this life is not what its cooked up to be. Listening to music loudly and going to movies that stimulate our brains and bodies in a way that feels so real, putting different chemicals in our bodies to shift our consciousness.
According to eastern thought, we are standing on a whale fishing for minoes (a small fish). The "place" where we are viewing all of the above from IS the untapped energetic resource (or the "place" wherefrom one can contact this resource). It's not so farfetched if you think about it. The most comprehensive pharmacy in our known universe is in our brain. Our known 5 senses are what get stimulated and in turn reproduce signals to our brain/body.
So just entertain this model for a little while. Think of what a sad comedy it is like. People grasping for love, content, satisfaction, bliss, euphoria, completeness and all from a place that already has the potential capacity to offer that..but they aren't plugged into it. Sort of like the Matrix but different.
How well do you know the inside of your mind. Can you spend the amount of time within like can outside it? Maybe You are bored within yourself; maybe because you aren't doing anything (outside yourself), Does that raise any questions for you?
