A month back, I had a realization, that needed a dedicated space here. I haven't come across any references that suggests the same, but am sure I am not the first person realizing or proposing it! It just came to me all of a sudden, out of blue. Just like that ! **Switch On**
Two precise moments, where I had exactly the same experience, out of blue. Off course there are some additional moments on similar lines, but those were forced, prepared, or like I say - training for it, similar to training for marathon or triathlon!!
Anyway, so my recent encounter was a month back. It reminded me of Nov 2002. I cannot give a full description of both the moments, but to me they were close to bliss within my lifetime. Something intense, very over powering, stronger and beyond my limited self. An impression that can be only felt, but cannot be captured by our retina. It could be an impression or hallucination of the mind, but it' something very strong and intense. It cannot be understood by anyone, other than who has felt it. Scientifically, I will define it as -
A reaction initiated only under extreme conditions of intense gratitude and submission. Something that charges (electrifies) our brain to it's maximum capacity, making it 100% aware. It is under this condition that we have the most intense experiences which philosopher's define as bliss and science as cognitive knowledge. Just giving us insight to something big. This insight is not because we start seeing something new, but because our brain reaches the state of maximum excitation and energization. In the religious world it is called enlightenment. Professionals, popularly known as sages learn to reach this stage of maximum excitation and energization through meditation. Our normal untrained brain also has the potential to enter the same zone for very short and focused time periods under extreme gratitude, happiness and submission. It is a result of extremeness - extreme hopelessness or hopefulness; whenever we are along the edges and outside the mean. Letting the brain bloom. Letting go of your own control over the brain, coming to a full stop. Sorry, I went and became too technical on my experience. Anyway, this was a side track. All I wanted to say is, I felt the same. The presence of something bigger, intense and stronger, when I received the call that evening.
I can and will never forget these two turning moments and experiences of my life, one in 2002 and the other in 2010. Inspite of knowing the science behind it, the feeling is overwhelming. And I have lot of people to thank in this whole journey.
Now am I Enlightened? Scientific or Scientifically Enlightened ?
I am positive of being the *later* :)
