In today’s modern world one spends more time with the computer than the accumulated time spent with the family, friends and in the loo (pun intended), and kindly excuse the genuinity (if that is a word) of the above statistic for i didn’t care to read through any of those published research papers written by some xyz professor/doctor (no offense please) from those ivy league institutes. Why? Because I just wanted to get the meaning through and more importantly in the end all of us know what the truth is but are too scared to accept it unless its BRANDED.
Well coming back to the subject, I will like to share something interesting that sneaked into my understanding on one frustrating afternoon when the hard disk of my computer crashed. Taking my laptop to the service center I was wondering at how the computer memory worked. There was a hard disk which stored all the data of the computer and than there was the Random Access Memory that used only the bit of the computer data that was required to complete the task in hand.
Well you may ask what am I talking about, even a 5th grader would know that. But just hang on there, interesting observations ahead.
I am sure we have all heard about the conscious and sub-conscious mind. But what is it exactly. If you are lucky with accidental observance (like i was) you will discover that the conscious mind is actually our RAM and the sub-conscious our hard disk. Like at this moment as I am writing and later when you will be reading we are and will be using our conscious mind, but at the same time we have our sub-conscious minds which is a huge hard disk of memories old and new. Having said that, there is another set of equivalents we haven’t yet touched.
The Internet that connects us to the vast pool of data through a network of computers, servers all joined together linking us to infinite data of the world wide web and the Super-Conscious Mind connecting us to the whole universe, opening us to the world of information, knowledge and possibilities.
Albeit it can be argued that where connecting to the internet is as easy as a push of a button, MEDITATION - the way to connect to the super-conscious mind, is one of the most misunderstood trends of the current times often marketed as an out of body, magical experience that gives you glimpses of paradise et al.
Taking all that and more it still deserves the benefit of doubt, afterall all it requires is some peace, breath control and observing your thoughts. It is what makes you experience the often quoted statement “ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE” because no matter in how many different forms the internet may appear in the zillion of computers across the world in the end it is only a sum total of the binary’s “ZEROS & ONES”.
