One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace (Translation source- Wikipedia)
On p. 40-41, chapter 2, Greg has written -
Rig Veda calls this force underlying creation from which all things are formed Braham- the force that was there before the "beginning" and identified it as the "unborn, in whom all existing things abide." "the one manifests as the many, the formless putting on forms. Gregg has taken this information from the website http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Philosophy-Hinduism-Hindu.htm
I have been on this website prior to seeing this reference and was pleased to realise that besides believing in many gods, Hinduism believes in the formless. In 24 years of my life in India, nobody, including hindus, had ever mentioned that they believed in the formless. The book that I have recommended on this blog "The kundalini yoga" says that there are two types of hindus - one that believe in deities / several gods and those who believe in the formless.
In Guru Nanak's time apparently, there were majority of Hindus who worshipped the Deities only and didn't bother about the formless. Hence he travelled far and wide to remind them of the formless, as he had realised during his enlightenment. No wonder then that he was called the Guru by the Hindus and Pir by the Muslims. Christanity also believes in one God as well as all other majors religions that I know of.
According to Gregg "the divine matrix" can be thought of in the same way - as the force before other forces. "Its the container that holds the universe as well as the blueprint for everything that happens in the physical world. This primal force of energy provides the essence of all that we experience and create. It holds the key to unraveling the deepest mysteries of who we are, as well as to answering the oldest questions about how things work in our world." p. 41
Greg has mentioned three scientific experiments -
1st experiment - the phantom effect and our relationship to our universe -
testing the behaviour of our DNA on light particles (photons) - which proved that there is a type of energy that exists in the space besides air, previously unrecognised by the scientists and secondly, cells/ DNA influence matter through this form of energy.
Does this concludes that we, the living beings, matter made of DNA can influence the primal energy? This experiment showed that human DNA has a direct effect on the vibration of light.
2nd experiment - Do feelings and emotions have +ve or -ve impact on our cells function?The experiment showed a powerful electrical response at the instant emotional "peaks" and "dips" experienced.
My personal experience is that when I feel the real urge to see God during meditation, or become emotional, thats when the magic happens and I see colour purple and whatever else afterwords. However, if I become overemotional and the concentration goes on the fact that I am crying, I get distracted. So if you become sad during meditation, try to concentrate on the breathing and get over that sad emotion. However, when you start to see the colour purple, I naturally become happy and a smile comes on the face. I start to play with the energy. If at this point you become involved with the colour purples beauty only and forget the breath and the god, the meditation session will end. Its rewarding either way. The first time you see the colour, you would be too happy with that experience itself. Next time try to see beyond the purple, the black space spinning with the purple. Try to spin forward into this space to go astral travelling. I haven't been able to do this yet. I have been too involved wondering if it is spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise. Now I know, mine spins clockwise. It spins in different direct for men and women, I have heard.
Guru Nanak tried to focus on this fact when he knocked yogis for practising hatta yoga. He was right in saying that without the feeling, the breathing exercises will not make you realise god. I have at times tried to get the same results in meditation by forcing myself to concentrate on the third eye. It only makes you have a severe headache, if you are concentrating on the physical level and do not have the feeling of actually meeting god as you are too worried about other things happening in life and want to fix them. The point is you haven't let go. Its not easy to let go every time. I thought that having seen what I have seen in meditation, it would make it easier to re-create that urge to meet god. Its doesn't happen that way. You need gods grace each time to have that feeling.
Greg has written that 2nd experiment suggests four things
1. A previously unrecognized form of energy [god] exists between living tissues.
2. Cells and DNA communicate through this field of energy.
3. Human emotion has a direct influence on living DNA.
4. Distance appears to be of no consequence with regard to the effect.
The 4th conclusion has deeper influence than what you can imagine. So I better explain what the experiment was. A swab of tissue and DNA was taken from a person's mouth and taken to another place. The DNA was measured electrically and it responded to the genuine state of emotions felt by this person's body while watching documentaries. The DNA acted as if it was still physically connected to his body. Why? Greg further asks, "Does this mean that when a living organ is successfully transplanted into another human being, the two individuals somehow remain connected to each other?"
My question is, "Does this means that the mother and the baby are still connected even after birth?" I would like to extend this to the siblings as they are connected to the mother. Is this the explanation to my feeling of loss when my dad died in India, my sister feeling the loss at the moment he died and hear her deeply sad voice saying my name and asking me what I was doing here in Australia, I should have been in India a moment ago. I woke up from my deep sleep very sad, confused and with a shock, my husband woke up and asked. As I was saying, I should have been in India a few minutes ago, I knew it was a few minutes too late. I couldn't understand what it meant and yet felt the deepest feeling of sadness and loss the moment my dad died, as the feeling experienced by my sister and yet when a year later I visited her and asked if she remembered me at that moment, she said "No!".
Greg wrote on p. 50 - HeartMath foundation documented finding a doughnut-shaped field of energy that surrounds the heart and extends beyond the body. This electromagnetic energy in torus form is five and eight feet in diameter. Greg says that although this heart field is not the aura or the prana, it may be an expression of the energy that begins in this area. I don't need to repeat that Guru Nanak has emphasised on the heart and the feeling in finding god more than knowing the breathing and yogic exercises. Nanak says, "Mun (Heart) Jeete (Winning) Jag (World) Jeet (victory) - You have won the world, the moment you have won the heart."
3rd experiment - "using specially designed mental and emotional self-management techniques which involved intentionally quieting the mind, shifting one's awareness to the heart area and focusing on positive emotions. Again, "using special techniques that analyze the DNA both chemically and visually", the results showed that the Human emotions changed the shape of the DNA! without physically touching it or doing anything other than creating precise feelings in the their bodies, the participants were able to influence the DNA molecules in the beaker. The experiments revealed that different intentions produced different effects on the DNA molecule causing it to either wind or unwind.
The above experiment proves that we are responsible for our own health. Something that I have always believed. We cause the diseases in ourself due to our negative feelings. When we desire bad results for others we are the one feeling that bad feeling and cause our DNA to respond to it. Then we blame god for giving us the disease. Saint Farid said, "Farida Bure Da Bhala Kar - desire goodness for the one that did something wrong to you." This DNA theory proves how God does justice. You get what you desire for yourself or for others. What you desire is what you deserve. As they say world is a mirror.
Gregg suggests two similar conclusions from the three experiments
1. There is matix of an energy that connects any one thing with everything else in the universe, which accounts for the unexpected results of the experiments.
2. The DNA in our bodies gives us access to the energy that connects our universe and
emotion is the key to tapping in to the field.
I believe these conclusions are in line with what Guru Nanak preaches. "Bhagtan tera tan; tun bhagatan ke vas". Guru Nanak says that the You (God) are in control of your believers. Dhan Guru Nanak.
