SLEEP and DREAMS - IMPRESSIONS IN LIFE

SLEEP and DREAMS - IMPRESSIONS IN LIFE

Dream is the other side of reality.   We have no second opininion to say it is an illusion.   But we do not realize that real Life is also an illusion to the same extend as dream.

Think of incidents experienced by us in the past.  Think about the changes in our surroundings during one or two decades in the past.  How do we feel?    We just cannot imagine the surroundings as it was then before one or two decades.  We just forget the incidents in the past.  It appears that the incidence or the surroundings in the past was only an illusion. Only the present seems to be the real.    Sometime in future the present also will become an illusion.

Think of our present day relationship with some of our old friends and relatives who once seemed to be inseparable from our life or who had promised not to let us down at any instance.  We can observe everything was a misappprehension or mirage or pretence.  We can make out the illusionary or deceptive or delusive nature of life.

Normally we dont recognize the unreal nature of life.  Dream make us sense the hallusinatory, illusionaary nature of life.     This is the purpose of dreams.

From the inception of our body and its bio-system, death is our co-traveller. Throuout our life, our body, the bio system and death are inseparable.  They are born together, exist together and become extinct together.  Not only us, human beings, but also all living beings.

We never recognize the coexistence of death along with our body.   Dream is an indication pinpointing the next stage after the end of life.   

When the day ends, night arrives and we go to sleep to find us alive in a different and unique unknown world.   After a while dreams disappear, sleep comes to an end.  It  dawns,   we wake up next morning to face another day.   This implies the possibilty of another life after death.

The day means our present life.  Sleep represents death.   Dream indicates the gestation stage in vast space of the Universe.  The dawn and the next day are indicative of the succeeding birth and life respectively. 

What does the actual death in real life indicate?  It denotes the end of the cycle of birth and death and the union of the soul with the pure universal energy.

Soul is dual entity, one inside the body and the other outside it.  In Indian theology,  the two are differentiated by the names athma and jeevan.  athma is next higher dimension of jeevan.

The internal soul or jeevan experience, day, night, sleep, dream, dawn and next day.  This process is repeated until death - the destruction of the body.   The internal entity of the soul comes to an end.

The internal soul is awake during day, sleeps at night,  encounters dream in sleep.   It wakes up at dawn and enters the succeding day.   The process continues till death and the internal souls is then extinct.

A day for the jeevan corresponds to a lifetime for the external soul- athma,   night indicate death in each life,  and dream represent the gestation period in space awaiting the trial related to the activities in preceding life and result to decide the fate for the succeding life.   The dawn corresponds to the birth in succeeding life and the next day the life following .   Each day of the Jeevan correspond to the consecutive lives of the athma.  Death of the jeevan represent the union of the athmaa with the universe, where it originally belongs.

Dreams reflect our thoughts and actions in real life.   In the same way. our succeeding life depends upon and reflects our thoughts and activities during the present life.    Soul and jeevan have parallel and similar events with  different timespans.

Everything in this Universe seems to be multi dimensional.   The solar system seems to be the miniature of a galaxy.   The structure  is sililar and events are parallel with different timespans.

Answers to the puzzles of life are found hidden in this Universe itself.  Positive belief and  attitude, perception of life, thought and actions during our present life shall guide us towards right path and direction to lead us to attain extra sensory insight and intuition.  Awareness, insight and  intuition are the door steps to gain access to solve all puzzles of existence.

DEITY - GOD AN EXPLANATION

Soul is an energy packet in space.  It is a combination of positive and negative energies or charges.  It has to get rid of all the negative charges contained in it in order to attain perfect purity.  A state of perfect purity is a state of infinite power.   It has no birth or death.  It is everlasting and subject to continuous change and transformation.    Being an energy, it has no appetite, no sexual urge, no brain and thoughts, no senses, no sensitivity, no happiness, no misery, no likes, no dislikes, etc.  These are the qualities of living human beings with a body consisting of bone, blood and muscles.  Human body is an embodiment of five basic elements , major portion of which is of earthly nature.  Being a material object, human body requires frequent maintenance/replacements of basic elements, lost as a result of its activities.  Hence it requires continuous consumption of food, sex, breadth, heat, etc. for survival.   Soul is an entity which is entirely different from the human body.

The soul constitutes a human body and enters it.   It has an intention and a purpose in doing so.  The aim is to remove the negative energies in order to attain its spiritual purity.     The soul achieves this target  through  many cycles of birth, life and death as a human being till the achievement of total purity and liberation.

The soul  passes over many births in many generations in this world.   When it gets rid of human body each time it is supposed to have acquired more and more energy and have achieved more and more spiritual purity.   When the level of spiritual purity of a soul wane during a lifetime, its spiritual level further declines and its energy drops down.  When the soul attains enhancement of spiritual purity in a life, it rises to higher levels to that extend of its increase.  When it goes out of body with this achievement,  it looses weight further and its position and location above the earth becomes further away from the surface of earth.

When the soul achieves more and more spiritual purity in consecutive lives, it looses weight again and again gradually till it becomes totally weightless.   Now, being weightless it finally get released from the gravitational force of earth.   Such a soul becomes totally independent, rises and goes upwards and reaches  the vast space beyond earth's gravitational limits.   Now it is said to have achieved emancipation and released from the cycle of birth and death.

Perfect pure energy is considered  the state of God.   So the soul also reaches a Godly state but with limitations.   Such souls are known as devas  and erected as deities in temples.   Here we have to be aware that deities are physical and symbolical representation of pure energies and we should not attribute human and earthly qualities and nature such as likes and dislikes, happiness and misery, anger and hatred, sexual instinct and urges, partiality in behavior, brahmacharyam or celibacy in the sense of body discipline etc. to them.

Though deities are powerful energies,  they are not in any way comparable to that of all pervasive, omnipresent,  widespread and universal energy and power of God.

The space beyond the pull of earth's gravity and where the deities are present is considered a world of peace and eternity. the abode of devas.

The soul is identified during its last birth on earth as the one to become the deity from the style of its spirituality, behavior and its way of life.

The effigy of such souls are erected in a common place called temple.  It is considered as a roll model for others in this world to follow in their life.  The temples are considered places for prayer and meditation for raising the purity of the soul.   The style or way of life the deity lived and the achievements are made known to those who visit the temple for prayers.    It is the common belief that frequent visits to such temple for meditation will influence the life of common people towards purification of the soul.
