As everyone does, let me introduce myself.
The word Brahmavid is derived from a noun Brahma: the formless, all-pervasive, entirety which is devoid of qualities; from which every form and names arise and "Vid" an adjective meaning understood.
In short it means one who has understood the ultimate.
I will write about India , Bhutan, Nepal and eastern philosophies of ancient time and take you deep into the practices of meditation and yoga, both theory and practical aspects.
You may tell me, whether the name or the form is more closer to ultimate reality now to see how well you are prepared to the shocking revelations next.
We will read about the distorted senses and the formed illusion in our next article.
This article is written as promised in the first article.
Please pardon me, this post would appear decidedly wrong for many readers, as it happened to me when I first read about it, but this is the only truth and all we have observed or percieved throughout our life is mere illusion created by ourselves.
First lets look at the most observable thing, our body. We are accustomed to hearing sounds, seeing colours, smelling odors, palatizing tastes and feeling objects and there is no doubt that there are five sense organs and the objects to the senses.
However; there is no sound, no color, no odor, no taste, no objects of touch out there.
All that is there is waves of energy. Our incredible brain creates all this five objects of perception depending on where the wave of energy land up on the surface of our body.
The body verily doesn't exist too. Its is 99.99 percent free space and 0.01% matter. If we were to remove all the spaces between organs, tissues, cells and atoms from our body we would be smaller than a single celled organism, but our weight/Mass would still be same.
So we come to a conclusion that there are forms (waves of energy) and we percieve them in a way very different than they actually are, since we are perpetually shown "the wrong picture" by our own brain we live and some time die in the illusion.
But the brain needs to do all this and much more to let this gross body live, reproduce and die.
In our next article we shall read more about brain and body.
