2. TIME TRAVEL

Dear Friends,

( If you have read my previous posting "Evolution of Man to Superman", then you can follow this article, else you may find it difficult to follow.)

(1) In my previous posting I wrote about T&S coordinates. This coordinate will fix your physical position on planet Earth at a particular time. I also wrote about a 'future' T&S position into which you can 'evolve'. Ordinarily, until the time arrives in the future, you can't be present in the proposed physical position. Suppose to day you say " I want to be in London on 31/12/2027 at 4 P.M", it is only a proposal for the future which can't be materialised today. Let us move on to take a look at this problem from another angle. As I told you in my previous posting, each paragraph will enumerate different ideas and everything will converge towards the end

(2) In yoga, 'Space' means a 'material extension' (infinite) and we presume that there is no space in the universe without 'matter' (either in the form of atoms, sub-atomic particles or any fundamental entities which compose matter( 'anu' {a Sanskrit term}). Also, we assume that matter and energy are interchangeable. That is, M may exist in the form of E also. We may say that space contains both E & M parameters.

(3) Likewise, what do we mean by 'Time' in yoga? Time is the third parameter of space. After the creation of this material universe(Big-Bang?) and further down the line in evolution, this time parameter is involved in the evolving material forms. T is involved in the field of E&M. Also, we should remember that T can exist only in a relational world! If there is no 'subject - object' setup or an 'observer and the observed' set up, Time is not activated in Space. Also, until Consciousness emerges in the field of Space, in the forms of E&M, Time is unmanifest. "Time is the essence of Consciousness".

(4) Thus we see that, through an evolutionary process, as the consciousness evolves and manifests in T&S, it creates its own forms suitable for its interaction in this world. Or, we may say, that there is a double evolution taking place simultaneously; and evolution of C & and a corresponding evolution of form. This is how, if the evolution takes place beyond 'buddhi', then it will evolve its own physical system(form) which we have called "Superman". So, there is a 'Superman Consciousness' and the 'Superman' himself.

(5) Now about the term 'future' : When we say 'future' we are referring to a certain projection into T which is yet to come. But, is there a change in the S parameter during this period?. Let me explain. In para (1) above there is a statement "I want to be in London on 31/12/2027 at 4 P.M." Here we are referring to a projection in time in the future. There is no projection for the Space parameter. London will not shift geographically during this period of 20 Years. But hold on.......

(6) Let us suppose there are two humans A & B located in New Delhi (Space Parameter) to-day and the above quotation refers to their statements. In 'A', let us assume that the 'Superman Consciousness' is working and evolving him into a 'Superman' and he will materialise his 'Superman Body' on that future date(31/12/2027). { For heaven's sake, don't think that you can become a Superman in 20 Years! This is only an example} And in 'B', there is the normal aging process as it happens for an ordinary human being. On 31/12/2027, we need to know the status of the S&T parameters of A&B.

(7) 'B' will have no problem, he can catch a flight and reach London and be present there at 4 P.M. on that day. Both his S&T parameters are fulfilled without ambiguity. What happens to 'B'?. During this 20 Years he has evolved into a Superman. He has undergone the following changes:

a) He has a physical body made of un-atomic substance, and consequently, his physical structure doe's not contain any part made up of atoms!

b) He has access to a consciousness higher than the buddhi.

C) Consequently, his perception has changed.

d) Just as an animal's perception is vastly different from that of a human, so also, a Superman's perception is different from that of a human. What is the perception of 'A' on London? Will there be more dimensions added in his perception.

e) How he will travel to London?. Will he dematerialise his body at New Delhi and materialise it at London?.

I will not venture to answer all these questions now. But be rest assured, Iam not off the mark in the above conclusions. (I will give you references for my conclusions later)

(8) But, what do we mean by 'un-atomic substance'? Sri Aurobindo calls it as a substance without 'division'. The present atomic substance makes it an 'existence by division'. The atoms are the final unit in this division. It is by agregating atoms>molecules>cells>organs> Human Body, that we exist physically. The future substance is indivisible and ONE. The Superman has the knowledge to individualise it into a physical body without the perception of division.
