Funda’spiritual’ quantities

Physical world cannot understand itself. For it be understood, a subtler entity that can perceive physical representation is required.

The entity humans use to understnad it is Mind. With mind, human being has been able to break down physical reality (of the known 4 dimensional world) into perceivable quantities. As understood ‘mentally’; Hence, funda’mental’ (at a foundation level what we understand mentally is fundamental) .

Length, mass and time are the fundamental measures of physical world.

Mental world cannot experience itself. For it to be experienced, a subtler entity that can experience mental perceptivity is required.
This entity is the spiritual entity. So, what are the funda’spiritual’ measures of the mental world?

Length mass and time, now in mental terms, form the set of fundaspiritual quantities of mind. The mind is made up of thoughts. So the mental length is the distance between oneself and the object of one’s thought. Mass is the number of thoughts occurring at an instant. Time is the distance between reality and thought world. Reality is being in present and thought being either in future or in past.

As length mass and time come to zero, the physical world collapses into an atom, as during the beginning of the universe!, where energy wraps itself into itself and claims back all the nature spread out, back into nothingness. As the mental length, mass and time tend to zero, the individual allows ones ideas and dreams collapse into one’s own self leaving no trace of the mind but an experience of void.

In this state: the distance being zero, the subject is but the object of thought. If the distance is maintained as zero, the object has to be constant and hence mass or number of thoughts collapse to a unity. We still have a thought, which is a gap between self and mind. The single thought too disappears as time becomes zero.

Hence, most spiritual practices boil down to the message ‘be still, here and now’.
