Collective Consciousness - The Total Mind

If you think you know everything, you do not need to read this. And if you think there is no "higher principle" behind you, except the "ego principle", then you can also skip reading this.

I have this saying, in the moment of a greatest despair, when a man is responding to the "Fight and Flight" response, the staunchest of the atheist would get converted into a most devoted theist!

There is what I have experienced, take any idea, and you will find that besides you, there are others as well who are thinking of the same idea! You can try this with Internet and Google for yourself once you get any idea, which you think is yours.

So how did the idea came germinating in more than one mind? That is because there is a principle of Total Mind, or Collective Consciousness, and it is scientifically studied, as well as there are tools and technologies that collect this knowledge to predict the future. The most famous of this prediction was of 9/11 and South Asia Tsunami. There are traders who use this technology to predict the market movements.

While flying on the plane to India, in the rush to reach my "dying son", who had fallen from a 2nd floor, with a loss of 1/3 brain from 3 places, all blood, and many other complications and losses, in my meditative state this very knowledge dawned on me.

What if everyone thinks that my son will survive and live, then he is sure to make it, and one day he will be back to normal or near normal. I knew that the doctors and the crowd of relatives and friends were keeping a vigil outside the hospital and were waiting for me to come and "receive the remains". I was keeping in touch with the doctor, my elder brother and wife from the airplane phone. This was my first and last time, where I saw the power of Air Crew's network, when they re-booked my Frankfurt-Delhi flight, in order to save me some 4 hours of delay. So from a Lufthansa flight I was switched an Air India flight without me raising a single finger!

There on the plane, a strategy was formed, and for a brave front of acting skills displayed. Despite being broken inside, and being a lousy actor, but managed to change the doom and gloom atmosphere, starting from the doctors. I was congratulating the doctors for a job well done, and thanking for saving my previous sweet heart's life. In turn they were getting defensive and saying the odds were 98% that he will not make it, and 2% of Comatose Living, and I would just say, "Don't worry, he will be all right!". With others I was fooling around, cutting jokes, and making them laugh, as if nothing bad had happened and everything was going to turn out all right. He was on artificial aids to sustain life and statistically, with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 3, which is of "dead", with no blood left in the body (as the had to stab the heart for doing a type match) and no pupils dilating, statistically doctors knew what to expect.

I also owed this knowledge to PBS and Dr. Deepak Chopra's show related to this, about the power of touch, which we used extensively, along with playing of his favorite songs, besides protests from doctors (but later they were convinced and changed their approach - as my son exactly knew when he laid deep in Coma that I had come, despite he not having seen me for 3/4 months, and realized that his Dad has had brought his Chocolates as promised to him on the phone call, just a few hours before the fatal fall), when he struggled to come out of the artificial machines and was "forced" to utter his first word, he had said "Daddy" and the second thing he said "Chocolate!". This was enough to convince the doctors that whatever we were trying was working.

Many thought I had turned "mad" from the shock, and one relative thought I was a "bad father", except one fatherly figure, of my father's era, who said that he realized I was bringing an air of optimism to the awaiting. Only inside the hospital private room, did my wife and a elderly family friend saw my emotional turmoil inside - when silent tears were rolling down, when I was hearing his favorite songs from the movie "Bazzigar" (Gambler or Chance Taker) were being played, I was emoting his to be playing the real life role of the Great Gambler, playing with his life!

The reason why "touching", "hand holding", "stroking", "talking", and "playing favorite music" and "keeping patient's favorite food" works, is because Brain is not one entity, but an Internet of Internet of N-Dimensional Computing Nodes! Though I did not know much about the brain, despite doing Advanced Human Anatomy in 11th Grade from Nurses & Nurses Book, those days, people just knew things like cerebrum, Cerebral, and Medulla Oblongata, and which one was which I had forgotten. But I drew a corollary between Internet and Computers connected to it. I said even if some part of network and nodes are down, one can still be able to send a message of assurance and help to a dying person, and to a child an assurance of parents soothing words and encouragement to fight back for life, was like God sent Elixir of Life!

The other story that inspired was the story of one of the Great Mughal Kings who traded places with his dying son, when everyone had given up and then he made his last plea to the God, to let him trade places with his son, and surely, the son was saved, and the father died within a week. Those from India would have heard about this story. The other story that inspired me was of Shiva, and I felt a divine intervention, as not being a hypnotizer, I could put my son to sleep with a wave of hand after distract him, when he would ask for water, after coma, and I could not give it as it was a poison for him since he had not eaten and drank for 9 days, and body would treat food and water like poison (you use it or loose it principle).

Later the same year, Harvard School of Medicine confirming the same hypothesis. I was sure of the two outcomes, as either he will live, or will die with him, as this was the condition put forth to God in my stupid fury displayed before the home temple Gods, in my reaction upon hearing this news of the fall from India, in my sleeping stupor which was abruptly broken by the call from my elder brother. I had gone on a hunger strike without water, which lasted for 9 days, in peak of Indian Summer, and when other relatives forced me to at least drink water after a few days.

The same power of prayers was experienced, after praying one whole night, in my conversation with God, to not to test me any more, as "my conditions" were still valid, and I said as a signal, I want his closed fist of paralyzed hand to be opened. The next morning I saw the same, and I was thinking that I was hallucinating, and I doubled checked with my mother, who was with me then, if this was true. There are many similar stories on his hearing, and other recovering of things many of us take for granted.

This is the basis of saying how the knowledge of Vedas was retrieved from the Ancient Rishis from the Akashic Space. In deep meditative state, single minded focused thinking, answers come to yourself, and specially when there is no sense of "doer ship" involved.
