Time-Space complex

Time-Space complex

This is a very profound discussion, so read it carefully.

As we discussed earlier, we all live in a time-space complex at all times.

However, we mostly are aware of time ( Kaal ) but not space ( Chhetra ).

This is because of the mind-driven life that we all are living.

Mind=Time.

We can quickly grasp the concept of time but not of space.

Why?

The Ego-driven society we have created requires the mind all the time.

What does the mind do?

Preserves the Ego.

It does this by creating fictitious and unreal pasts and futures.

This has led to our dualistic, divisive mind, neglecting the present, the real entry into consciousness.

So, we live in time consciousness, but at what cost? – at the cost of losing our space consciousness.

Time and space are interchangeable, and both are present in every moment.

We must decide which kind of life we want to live – time predominate or space predominant.

We have lost out on space due to our overdependence on time.

Einstein says that gain in time is loss of space and vice versa; the time-space complex is only one.

So, our time consciousness is the mind ( the thoughts – the Ego ), but what is space consciousness? – the soul ( the thoughtless state ).

When we meditate, thoughts capture us and don’t let us go beyond the emptiness of the soul.

This reflects our time-dependent, Ego-driven life.

Meditation is the struggle of time ( mind ) and space ( soul ).

We can also utilize Einstein’s discovery in spirituality.

Like the time-space complex, mind, and Soul are not separate; they are just part of the mind-soul complex and are interchangeable.

The gain in time ( mind ) will be a loss of space ( of the soul ) and vice versa.

If you overthink ( time ), you forget the soul ( space of consciousness ).

At the same time, if you get fully settled in the soul ( Advait ), the mind ( time ) disappears.

This is a spiritual fact, rhyming with scientific fact.

Thoughts limit us to our Ego, and a thoughtless state expands us into joyful nothingness, ready to connect with the universe.

Our psyche has thoughts ( time ) and a thoughtless state ( space ).

Thoughts “float” in the space of thoughtlessness.

With every thought, we limit ourselves to our Ego and lessen the space (the peace and tranquility of the timeless soul ).

And with fewer and fewer thoughts, we expand the joyful state – the soul.

So, how do we put this in perspective in daily life?

Start living in the present ( the reality ) and not the past or future ( fantasies ).

This will free up a lot of space for us.

This space is not a fantasy; it is the reality of pure consciousness, bringing peace and joy at every moment.

So, in any given moment, stay connected fully with whoever or whatever is in front of you; be ONE with it.

In a state of peaceful awareness, there are no likes or dislikes, no judgments, no past, and no future.

( No Vichar ( thoughts )
No vasanas ( desires )
No smriti ( memories ), and
No kalpana ( fantasies ). )

The mind will loosen its grip with practice, and the space ( of consciousness ) will start filtering into our lives.

How will we know this?

By the joy brought in by such expansion of the space ( which is present in every moment ).

This everyday experience will become the seed around which the state of Advait will build up slowly in our psyche via meditation, eventually bringing perpetual peace and joy.
