How can One become Many?

[air]

This question is asked very often, “How can the one universal power be manifested in millions and billions?”



Of course, only He knows the answer, only the Supreme power knows the answer; we are incapable of comprehending this. However, the power has given us certain experiences, which can help us appreciate and understand the reality. So, what can help us appreciate and understand the reality of one multiplying into so many, manifesting into so many, or appearing as many?



Let us take the simple example of a burning candle. The candle has a flame; it has energy, it has power, and it has light. One candle can light a thousand candles, which can in turn light a million candles – yet it was just one burning candle; it was just one source of energy. How did it light a thousand and million candles, which can now give light to the whole world? Well, this is the power of multiplying and manifesting, and these things are for us to appreciate and realize.



Consider the power of the sun. We can see one sun in the sky, but if we place 20 buckets of water outdoors, the power of the sun will reflect in all the 20 buckets of water as 20 powerful reflections; these reflections are nothing but manifestations. The reflections appear as if every bucket has the sun. In reality, it is only a manifestation of the sun that appears in the buckets of water.



So, it is for us to realize the power of manifestation – how the Lord’s power manifests in the universe in everything. I believe that everything is the manifestation of the Lord!

In the beginning there was only One. Then it became Many. 



There are 8,400,000 species of life. The atomic soul through this chain of decay which acquired unlimited bodies has existed billions of years.



The atomic soul has a mind and body made in the image of its parents. It has taken a personality, specific physical features from the genes it inherited from its biological creators down to its ancestors. So, we can not blame ourselves if we suffer hypertension, diabetes, asthma etc since these diseases are inherited. It`s bad karma if they say we are dumb, stupid, ugly, crazy or deformed. Good karma if we are pretty or handsome, bright , talented, rich and hardworking. We actually inherited them from the genes of our parents and forefathers. These are all external. What is internal or eternal is the atomic soul found in everyone of us. If we grow old, its because the atomic soul is decaying ( Alpha ). If the atomic soul stabilizes into an Om particle, the body becomes immortal (Omega) e.g Avatars.



The Transmigration of the Atomic soul ( reincarnation ) from one body to another can be explained through the Decay Chain. A graphic example is the Neptunium series.

Hi Air,

A lovely post which made me think about the power of group intention. Many people recognize personally, and research has demonstrated that collectively, meditation, prayer, and intention can and does affect the world.

In 1993 a successful experiment was performed in Washington DC in America, to demonstrate the effect of a large group of transcendental meditators on crime levels. Researchers predicted in advance that the calming influence of group meditation practice could reduce violent crime by over 20 percent in Washington, D.C., during an 8-week period in the summer of 1993. In fact, the findings later showed that the rate of violent crime decreased by 23 percent during the June 7 to July 30 experimental period. The odds of this result occurring by chance are less than 2 in 1 billion.

This was a carefully controlled study. The demonstration project involved assembling in the D.C. area nearly 4,000 practitioners of Transcendental Meditation programs, from 81 countries. The experiment was rigorously analyzed by a 27 member project review board composed of independent scientists and civic leaders who approved the research protocol and monitored the research process. The implications of this are exciting yet not surprising. Meditation does not just serve you; it serves your world, assisting in raising the overall frequency and consciousness level on the planet.

The power of group intention can also be seen in the many prayer and healing groups that come together around the world. Every day they come together with the sole purpose of raising peace and healing vibrations upon the Earth; And in this conflict driven planet we live on, where many are caught up in a violent maelstrom, we certainly need it. I would love to hear what others think about this.

Thank you for sharing Air.

Love and light

It reminds me of Filipino boxer Manny " Pacman " Pacquiao who gained fame by knocking out world boxing champions in the likes of Oscar de la Hoya, Marco Barrera, etc. Whenever he has a fight say, with Floyd Mayweather Jr. The crime rate in the entire Philippine archielago drops to almost zero. Criminals, rebels, thieves forget to kill and steal just to watch boxer Manny Pacquiao fight. What we need in this world are world class entertainers, fighters, actors, actresses, and comedians. People who go all the way serving others who are in need. We can not just sit and do nothing. I can not meditate on a child all the time suffering from autism or adhd and hoping the power of the mind will heal the child's ailment.I have to do something. If collective meditation results in the decrease of crimes then why cant US President Barrack Obama and his men do the same? I do not know if this really works.
