Who
are these body cells? They are what help these beings, i.e.
you, your family and your pets function the way you do.Body
cells. Why! You don't even remember them? Should you know
them? They are the billions of living beings who make living
such an enjoyable experience for you and your pets every
moment of your lives.
Yet,
we do not spend time talking to our bodies, recognizing
the work that each one of our cells is doing. Do you thank
your liver cells, heart cells, kidney cells, leg cells,
spleen cells?
Do
you greet them? Do you say Hello! to them? Just do this
every day for at least 10 minutes in the morning as soon
as you wake up and in the evening just before you sleep.
Does
that sound crazy to be saying things like this?
Not
really! There is a universal consciousness that forms the
breath of the universe which permeates everything.
This
consciousness understands your thoughts. At that level of
communication, words are no more needed. You do not have
to speak them out loud; just make a silent prayer to thank
them. The intention to appreciate, to heal, to love gets
the reality of appreciating, healing and loving.
The
thoughts create a powerful pattern of energies which is
spontaneously and instantly communicated to the cells of
your body and your pet's energizing them.
That
is why the system of healing called Reiki works well.
At
any given moment when you are enraged, you unleash a reign
of terror on the living beings of your universe. When your
dangerous negative emotions are freely expressed, you in
fact subject the living beings of your body to every possible
natural calamity that you can think of. earthquakes, typhoons,
tsunamis, avalanches, floods, hurricanes...
Then,
what else do we do? We regularly punish the living beings
of our universe. And how do we do that? By not exercising?
By overworking? By drenching the cells with unhealthy food
and drink - consumed in excess.
As
if this were not enough, we don't communicate the littlest
words of kindness and love to the millions of beings living
in our system. Then, when disease strikes we blame the genes
and the germs as collective enemies and gang up to block
them out...to stop them from sending out those distress
signals...and then carry on living life in just the same
way.
Love
is the greatest healing force. Invisible. Transparent. It
permeates the littlest, remotest corners of the most microscopic
beings of this universe.
Did
you know that every now and then, you are born anew. That's
because most cells of your body are replaced. Millions of
cells leave your body each day. There's no such thing as
death. There's only the spectrum of life or energy continuing
at different levels of existence.
In
the universe that is you - at any given moment, a trillion
reactions happen simultaneously. Every cell is aware of
every reaction that has happened. Isn't that a miracle by
itself?
More
than a trillion living beings exist in your body. Yet, most
of us simply act as if they don't exist.
Imagine
being a cell in your body - a liver cell for example. If
you could hear the liver cell speak, what would he or she
say, " I wonder if there is such a being called.....
All I do, day in and day out is make all these powerful
lifesaving enzymes and chemicals, saving him or her (that
is you) from all those dangers? but do you think he or she
cares about me? knows that I even exist?
You
may not know the individual cells of your body by name,
but you do know them collectively.
Within
each of those little microscopic cells is the complete coded
information that can make a new you - that when stretched
out would make as much as 6 feet of DNA. And where does
one tell the difference between information transmitter
and intelligent creator - from a microscopic world view.
The
cells of your body are not those small, insignificant microscopic
things that you think they are. They are conscious. They
are aware. They know.
These
cells care about you. They help you digest your food, help
you remember and think clearly, write, walk, talk...In fact,
without their contributions and fine tuned coordination,
you probably would not be able to do the tiniest bit of
work.
Then,
at a more microscopic level, the apparent solidness of our
beings disintegrates into nothingness. We become nothing
but shells of empty space enclosing a mass of swirling energies.
Who
are we really? Like an onion peeled layer by layer, the
I that we are then just become a huge mass of quarks and
other subatomic particles, blinking in and out of existence
millions of times each moment.
Today,
science has confirmed Vedic notions of reality. A Vedic
hymn mentions our state of existence as a mass of swirling,
whirling energies disappearing and appearing millions of
times every moment.
Time
and space no longer are as we understand them in the macroscopic
world.
That
is why some of the great religions of the world always insist,
"Be aware of the wholeness of your existence "."
Be conscious".
In
that moment of being aware, of being conscious, of being
aware of the wholeness of your existence, you step into
a dimension devoid of time and space...and actually experience
universal consciousness.
A
new way of perception will unfold before you when you begin
to explore the universe in this way. Deepak Chopra's books
will make good guide posts for your journey ahead.
