New Scientist magazine of 6th Feb, 2010 has an article "Hot green quantum computers revealed". It says that "Normal energy tranfer theory tells us that energy hops from molecule to molecule in a random walk, like the path taken home from the bar by a drunken sailor", says Gregory Scholes. But Scholes and his colleagues have found that the energy routeing mechanism may actually be highly efficient. This team excited two of the pigment molecules of Chroomonas antenna, with a brief laser pulse, causing electrons in the molecules to jump into a quantum superposition of excited states. When this superposition collapsed, it emited photons of slightly different wavelengths which combined to form an interference pattern in the emitted light. Has this got anything to do with the purple light etc that we see during meditation? Can this experiment help us reveal why sometimes we see the purple light so easily and other times don't see it at all but can still have other peaceful mesmerizing experiences?
The scientists were surprised to realise that not only the two pigment molecules at the centre of the antenna were involved in the superposition; but also the other six pigment molecules. This "quantum coherence" binds them together for a fleeting 400 fotoseconds. This is long enough for the energy to simultaneously "try out" all possible paths across the antenna. When the shared coherence ends, the energy settles on one path, allowing it to make the journey without loss.
The above para is pointing out to me that all chakras have to be in a relatively balanced state to have a special meditation experience as all of them are involved in the superposition when you are about to enter deep meditation and experience something. Could that be why some people do meditation but never have a special experience?
Is that why Guru Nanak mentioned other criteria as essential requirements to be accepted by the energy to be worthy of receiving it /Mehar. Guru says, "Kirat Karo, Naam Japo, Vand Chako." Earn my honest means, meditate and Share your proceeds with others. The Guru says in several shabads
'Je Tudh Bhave' meaning only if it pleases you, (then my meditation is successful). I wish to take that uncertainty away. It will please him if all chakras are in balance. They will be in balance if we stay away from the five thiefs - Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego (Pride in one's own greatness).
The scientists were surprised that the experiment worked at the hot tempreture of 21 degrees and didn't destroy the quantum coherence. I am not interested in the temperature side of the experiment, although I have experienced body temperature change during meditation. I am interested in the fact that quantum superposition allows the energy to explore all possible routes and settle on the most efficient one. The antenna performs a quantum computation to determine the best way to tranfer energy. I am interested in Meditation and how Kundalini Energy decides its path.
The scientists are surprised how these molecules remain coherent for so long with relatively large gaps between them. One scientist believes that antenna's protein structure plays a cruical role. She says, "Coherence would not survive without it."
Another energy theory below is pointing out the 'non-vertical behaviour of energy'. Isn't Kundalini energy's path non-vertical? Triplet energy transfer (TET) from aromatic donors to 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene (COT) is an extreme case of "nonvertical" behavior, where the transfer rate for low-energy donors is considerably faster than that predicted for a thermally activated (Arrhenius) process. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15268245?log$=activity
The important things I have learnt from the above information is as follows
Meditation experiences each session are dependent upon the path energy will find most suitable during that session. Which path will be most suitable will depend upon our actions and thoughts stuck in our head from that days stresses and how many of these we have been able to successfully clear by changing our focus to observing the breath and the body.
Energy is not random. When I meditate without any distractions, my body heats up every time. Initially when I started meditation last year, it started with extreme heating of my feet, then slowly over the months it started heating less and my hands also started heating up. These days I don't feel any discomfort in my feet due to heat but my hands still heat up a little. That means that the heat that is being produced is now more equally distributed throughout the body, as I do feel it. Therefore, as we progress in meditation, more of these energy points open up / clear and become more receptive to the energy. The question here is that does the energy still has to settle on one path to provide a special memorable experience?
The issue of protein structures having a big role is pointing to my diet. I know I have a poor vegetarian diet.
"Protein is found in many vegetable sources. Some of these vegetable proteins are complete in that they contain all the essential amino acids just like animal protein. Others are incomplete and must be combined together to produce a complete protein that the body can use.
Nuts and seeds are an under appreciated source of protein. Soya beans are source of complete protein. Beans, peas and lentils, known collectively as pulse, make up one of the major sources of protein for a vegetarian. They are incomplete proteins and must be combined with other incomplete proteins, such as grains, or complete proteins, such as eggs or milk, to make a complete protein food. Usually this is done in one dish such as beans and rice or beans on toast, but this is not always necessary as the body can store protein and combine it later."
