The Human Brain and Spiritual Experiences !

-


The consciousness taking a certain leap has some significant impact on the human mind. Likewise the brain structures impacts the way it happens and the neurons plays a very significant role on the happening.

The Endocrine Glands co-relating with the Sympathetic Nervous Systems gives a doorway to certain realization and recollection of memories, waving along the spinal cord. This biological electromagnetic spectrum's makes us encounter life as we know it. 

The twelve pairs of Cranial Nerves exploding out of the brain stems working as the pathways for the sensory neurons to play along with the varied systems creating perception of our body. Once one jumps inward the same pathway works for the extra sensory perceptions. Which is excessively explained in cultures all around the world. The Ganzfeld Experiment, is one of the very profound experiments carried out in understanding ESP. The various meditative encounters are also the expansion of ESP, if we ought to talk about it very crudely. 

The Reticular Activating System in the brain, which works for the sleep-wake transition in the human body is also responsible for the conscious-unconscious transition spiritually. This is why sometimes its reffered to as gate keeper in eccentric philosophies. The Limbic System that works as the house of emotion plays a role in the jump to supra consciousness. The Limbic System of Buddha is very calm, silent and unperturbed. 

The Pituitary and Pineal gland are also the part of the Limbic system. They regulate the human nature and human forces in various static and kinetic dimensions. Once fully activated this glands transforms the human being as an explosion. Which we refer to as Samadhi, or Enlightenment. 

The jump into the unknown.

The use of incense, light, bells, mantras, chants, dongs, and all kind of religiously used instruments and objects are actually the tools for humans to understand the human senses and go beyond it. The practice of Tantra is the most well developed forms of experimentation on human senses and sense beyond it. Be it sex or the pleasure of eating a pie.

You might not have heard of the ancient Greek symbol called 'Ouroboros'. But you should, because it is one of the most fascinating symbol. The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.  Alchemical Symbol of Ouroboros Ouroboros is generally depicted as a Serpent or a Dragon biting its own tail. The first recorded history of such symbol is in Egypt at around 1600 BCE in the texts called    Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld.

In the Norse mythology its called Jormungandr. And in the Hindu mythology its related to the Kundalini Jagara...

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher of Ephesus. He is possibly the first Greek philosopher to explain the unity in all experience. And how change is the only constant in the universe. Heraclitus is also sometime known as the Philosopher of Riddles. For many people don't understand him. Heraclitus introduced the world with the word 'Logos', which means that 'all things are one in some sense'. Even the opposites are needed for the occurrence of action. Heraclitus explained that change is the core of all things. And within the changing framework lies the unity of opposites.  Heraclitus by unknown artist  Osho in the book Hidden Harmony praises Heraclitus as the greatest Buddha of the world. He says,  Heraclitus is one of the greatest Buddhas of the world. In western philosophy his name is not part of the mainstream. The mainstream consists of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore. Heraclitus is somethin...

The Concept of Equanimity !

Equanimity comes from a Latin word æquanimitas, which means to have an even mind. But the concept goes much deeper. Much of all ancient philosophies and religions talk about equanimity. Aequss meaning even, and Animus meaning mind/soul.   Marcus Aurelius, one of the stoic philosopher and an emperor in his book Meditations stated that: When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. In the context of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) Equanimity is used to describe the Brahman Nature. In more detailed understanding since the Brhaman cannot ever be explained. We can just rejoice its being. Hence Equanimity means the unattached and undisturbed being'ness. Which is what we all are primarily as. Not the state of mind which we exist upon but the pure sense of nature. The real nature. So, equa...
