Like every great insight, the discovery that the universe has no fixed structure can seem frightening, but the uncertainty principle is just as much a creativity principle. Words like “void,” “nothingness,” and “interstellar space” do not have to generate fear; they are the creative stuff of everyday life.
I like the story of the three baseball umpires relaxing over beer one afternoon and comparing notes. One umpire says, “I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.” The next umpire says, “I calls ‘em as they really are.” The third umpire says, “They ain’t nothin’ until I calls ‘em.”
The rishis promoted the creative act of seeing even higher than did the quantum physicist. First of all, they expanded the influence of the observer beyond the infinitesimal range of the quantum field, which is from 10 million to 100 million times smaller than an atom.
Controlled studies have shown that ordinary people actually do project their thoughts into nature’s workshop. Ordinary people can also broadcast messages to others telepathically, no matter how far away the receiving person is.
In some cases, it was observed that the relayed messages were received up to three days before they were sent. The startling implication is that the fixed boundaries of space-time are only conveniences of the mind, not absolutes.
In truth we are the three-dimensional movie. It is not separate from us but mingled with our mind-stuff, so that the only way to see it without being fooled is to see the seer. ~~~~~~~~~~ Adapted from Unconditional Life: Discovering the Power to Fulfill Your Dreams, by Deepak Chopra (A Bantam Book, 1991).
The gesture Namaste represents the belief thatthere is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. "Nama" means bow, "as" means I, and "te" means you. Therefore, Namaste literally means "bow me you" or "I bow to you."
To perform Namaste, we place the hands together at the heart charka, close the eyes, and bow the head. It can also be done by placing the hands together in front of the third eye, bowing the head, and then bringing the hands down to the heart. This is an especially deep form of respect. Although in the West the word "Namaste" is usually spoken in conjunction with the gesture, in India, it is understood that the gesture itself signifies Namaste, and therefore, it is unnecessary to say the word while bowing.
We bring the hands together at the heart chakra to increase the flow of Divine love. Bowing the head and closing the eyes helps the mind surrender to the Divine in the heart. One can do Namaste to oneself as a meditation technique to go deeper inside the heart chakra; when done with someone else, it is also a beautiful, albeit quick, meditation. ~~ I was at the international airport with my grand daughter long waiting for the next flight connection. Tired and worn out we both were. A young woman, a stranger, flying with her mother had a coloring book and crayons, coloring to kill time, I made an assumption. She looked over our way, smiled sweetly. We all boarded the airplane and met our destination in the same city. When we waited for our luggage the young lady came up to my seven year old grand daughter and gave her a crayon colored picture of a beautiful angel. We took great care getting the picture home and I framed it. It was a picture that represented:
...a 'knowing' ... love from "my spirit to your spirit.
My cat ALWAYS knew when someone was coming over. He would sit in front of the door - everytime. Even when I didn't know anyone was coming. He did that just for that type event. He knew. No coincidence, no hearing sounds of feet coming. He just knew.
RE: Is it Sane to Believe?
One doesn't reprimand (ego)and be of Spirit at the same time.This is all pretty silly.(of course, that's from my ego, I admit)
