Memory is the recorded history.

The entire universe includes the absolute as well as numerous other universes just like ours or different from ours. We are living in the relative universe, this means, here everything is in comparison or relative with something; everything here can be experienced only in comparison or in relationship with something else. It is very important to note that everything in the entire universe is interrelated either in spiritual, mental and physical aspects; there are also aspects that don’t relate with each other.

The relative universe also exists only due to the comparison or relation with the absolute universe or and all the other universes. This feeling of separation is what gives it existence and identity (this is very much alive just like us, for it is expanding and contracting and has cosmic memory (history) just as we have our own memory (history) and it is made up of a part of the billions of consciousness of the omnipotent). It is not only the universe that is comparing; all of us individually are doing so. This collective consciousness, is what gives us the reality and experience, it can be logically concluded that it is developed from all our individual consciousness and our individual memory (history).

Cosmic Memory (history) is the collective record of all our individual memory (history); it is the record of both active and subconscious memory, right from the beginning. This is everything, all the experiences that has transcended from the present into the past. (That is if we believe that there was a beginning for our part of the universe, actually this should not create any difference as far as understanding the omnipotent is considered, as our primary goal is what we are trying to understand, we feel that this is why we have taken birth). Correlating this with “kala” (time), present is the preserver, past is destroyed present and thus identified with the destroyer, and future where creation is continuously taking place is the domain of creator, we take everything from the past to do this, using the knowledge stored in the memory (history). This cycle is complete and starts as soon as our consciousness begins or as soon as it starts to identify with anything.

Now if our memory (history) was not there then we could not possibly be comparing things with relationship with it! NOTHING WOULD EXIST! The memory (history) is what gives identity to everything in comparison with what it is not. This is because we, just like the relative universe we are comparing to generate the feeling of separation; this is what gives us our own existence and identity (ego or I-ness). Extend this argument to the universe the universe would not exist!

So as the universe exists cosmic memory exists. Cosmic memory (history) exists as all the happening are being experienced by us is also recorded in it, any or all experiences must have a record if they are to be co related and differentiated (as same or different), this is the only way to generate different feeling corresponding to each event and thus make it possible for the intellect to differentiate it. Understanding is correlating the present with the past; here, by present we mean the things we perceive with our senses at this moment.

Future is only possible due to our own understanding of things that we have experienced in the past, because we can think of only those and we cannot create anything new that is not present in it, especially that we don’t know, know this for a fact we cannot even imagine anything that we don’t know This makes future predictable, the reason all of us cannot do so is either due to our preoccupation with the other thing we consider important or we don’t know this fact. Thus to know what will occur in the future observe our feelings, as these are the things that create thoughts and meaningful desires. Next find out what are the necessary conditions that these require to manifested, to know this search from the past (memory (history)). The desire will manifest only if the conditions exist otherwise it will not. This tells us that to predict the future we have to have access to the entire memory (history). This will make it equal to Maya or illusion. One thing is for sure all possibilities are manifestable logically, but clarity will be lacking if details are incomplete.

We can also say that the connection with the omnipotent is through this. This is like a un- severed umbilical cord connected to the womb. This can be correlated to the feeling of compassion, void filled with love. This makes cosmic memory (history) the womb and everything in this universe is still growing inside it, waiting to be born outside it, maybe in some other universe or the absolute depending on the last desire before we give up identifying with the body.

The last desire guides us to that womb. This last desire will depend on the desires and cravings we have in the three levels physical, mental, and spiritual and the satisfaction achieved by us in this life, the part which is unsatisfied will appear as the desire. All those who are fully satisfied will merge with the absolute, as they will have only this desire. This gives us one way to merge with the omnipotent (this is as per the texts)

Kindly remember we are dealing with only the horizontal component of time, which we all are living in, the vertical component comprises of everything and is exists simultaneously at the present, that means birth and death and all possible happenings are simultaneously existing for everyone, just waiting to be experienced as soon as we identify with them (traversing the horizontal component at each event). Thus, being in the present is traversing or experiencing the vertical component and refraining from traversing or experiencing the horizontal component at every event (remember no thoughts, as thoughts make us traverse the horizontal component). The only problem with this type of experience is that we will have only information of everything from birth to death and will be devoid of knowledge (understanding of that event) or wisdom (complete understanding of all the events with inter relationship with everything in the universe by experiencing it).

This experience will not be satisfying, especially during the out of body experience after death (without food sheath or body and gross senses to confirm everything). The subtle essence of the gross senses can only give us the essence devoid of actual realness, similar to subjects and objects being in the state of concept. Thus, can get us trapped in those things we don’t have understanding. Guiding us towards those wombs that can enable those experiences. This means that rebirth is ensured as desire is not satisfied with complete experience and understanding. This means that the knowledge and wisdom of everything along with devotion and activity desire less of any fruits for the same is a necessary for the qualification of the soul or consciousness to merge with the omnipotent. This is because we have taken birth to experience everything possible; this was the primary desire, the seed of creation of the entire universe. Every desire of the omnipotent achieves a consciousness (spurt of nada and bindhu that develop the five powers, the interaction of which is consciousness, this along with the required force produces the golden glow to become the womb for creation.).

Space is perceived by the consciousness, which is a part of the mind, we have to consider that it is available as soon as nada begins or time starts. Space when imagined in a single plane parallel to the surface of earth, without relationship with time will be represented a dot or bindhu, this may be at any location on the circumference of the earth or any where in the universe, there will be no dimensions in either direction on a two dimension plane x-y (both representing increase in distance from the origin).

Now add the movement to this dot, the freedom of movement of this dot will increase in all directions, but as it needs a support it clings to the only thing it knows or can compare itself with. We know that to enable this we need to introduce time. The direction in which it will move will correspond to the direction of time, or the direction of the external or internal force applied on the dot. What is this force?

We are interested in the force, its birth and potential. One source of this force can be the desire, or last thought that was dominant before the memory stopped recording or the start of blank signal, we say this because this last thought is the guide or route taken by the soul along with consciousness as soon as it accepts its new condition of out of body existence. The other can be the completion of the present cycle of dormancy experienced after the active cycle (we are of the opinion that the universe and human birth and death are cyclic). If they are cyclic then some part of the universe must be in action to assess the lapsed time. This would mean that one consciousness would always be there. This would also mean that only our part of the universe would be cyclic.

We call this force, desire of the omnipotent to experience something. This means that a force is necessary for introducing time and space. This means that time must have a specific direction as soon as it is born; this direction is given by the desire. The potential of this force will be the accumulated energy built up due to the delay caused in experiencing the desire due to lack of suitable environment.

Space will increase or grow at par with this direction of time. The space covered will be a specific area. This is true, only as long as time exists in the horizontal component devoid of vertical component. Introducing the vertical component along with the horizontal component will make the space three-dimensional. We encounter one problem here, that is the observer or consciousness can engage in only one act at a time, so will still be in still in the horizontal plane as, area or forward / backward or fluctuation between different desires available in the vertical component of time. This can be over come only by considering simultaneous activity taking place in the vicinity in all the three planes physically, inside the mind, mentally, and beyond the mind, spiritually these signals that are generated in the three planes of our existence and is recorded by the senses or their subtle counter parts (essence) are continuously storing these in the memory now we can convert the area into a volume. And the universe will appear as a sphere to the eyes, the entire universe has no definite shape (Nirakhara rupa meaning without shape).

We can further complicate this by considering more than one consciousness prevailing at the same time (as simultaneously in the three planes physical, mental, and spiritual, as that of our brothers and sisters or all inhabitants of our universe, at all the events in the vertical component of time along with horizontal component. This definitely can answer the three-dimension aspect of space we experience through our senses (here include collective consciousness also).

The present passes within the wink of the eye, meaning that it is continuously becoming present, this can be put in another way, present will not be present if it lingered any longer than the wink of the eye, present DESIRES or is unsatisfied with its state and craves for new experiences. This creates the future. This future is always related to the past as we cannot desire or even think of those thongs that we don’t know or are not aware of. This makes everything related with the past (Destroyed present, (the preserver Vishnu) that is past is identified with the destroyer, Shiva). One important thing that this tells us is WE MUST THEN, HAVE THE MEMORY (HISTORY) OF THE OMNIPOTENT. And if desires are the means of achieving anything then we have a way to achieve him/her through desire. This desire is not the fleeting wish to want, but the intense single pointed unwavering craving, as if our life breath is depending on it.

In ordinary humans the ego (I-ness) or the partially awakened kundalini, that gives us consciousness (to the level we have awakened or developed it), is preoccupied with the body mind and senses experiencing the current. Thus it is busy continuously, stringing sound to words and thoughts, the intellect is interpreting the same, using information or knowledge stored in the memory (history). Memory (history) is related to everything in the past thus, consciousness is predominately living in the present and past.

This means the domain of the Chita the thought power along with Janna intellect, kriya action and ananda experience, or joy is really stuck in the present, partially and the past, permanently. This makes memory (history) the foundation of our living. In other word we are totally living in the past.

One important thing that has to be noticed here is that creation of all the things to be experienced in the present and future are only replicas of those that we have already experienced in the past. This is the only possibility that can exist; this is the limitation, as all permutations and combinations that are possible are already defined in the past or will become aware when we experience it. So we can expect nothing new or different we can only re-remember the past to confirm them by experiencing them. This is because we do not really create or destroy anything we only experience and forget (bury it within our memory); we can only transform anything to other things or experience and become aware of things that we need in the present, this is enabled by the nature, as we have to use the existing resources from nature. Our body mind and spirit are also created in the same way. This is the power of thought Chita shakthi.

Now Maya shakthi (illusion) similarly makes everything look and feel real or substantial, using the subconscious. This also uses the memory (history) as foundation but the only difference is, unlike chita (thought power) which is limited to the superficial memory (history) or active memory (history), Maya (illusion power) can relate to the entire memory (history) from all the pervious births as far as the initial birth of or separation (desire to experience itself) of our consciousness from the single consciousness of the omnipotent we call god.

Maya can project everything as real and appealing only after Chita thought power has clearly defined, differentiated it to the finest detail possible. It is only after intelligence has accepted these feelings, related thoughts, and meanings they are stored in the active or subconscious memory (history) or as a new memory (history) cycle. This is because not all the things projected by Maya are experienced; most of it is ignored or not registered by the consciousness either due its preoccupation with the present or something else. The effect of the observed or experienced will never be the same in the actual absence of the particular characteristic or feature, thus everything is stored in totality; this is because effect is always in the totality while experience can be limited to some senses. (Defects of sense organs are being addressed here).

This also means we all are interconnected. The access to the vertical component of time is possible only in the mental and spiritual planes. This makes it necessary to develop these through the path of sadhana (spiritual practice), the mind has to be purified and perfected. The dormant force of the mind lying in the subconscious (Known as kundalini) must be made available to enhance the power of consciousness to enable this, only after maturity dawns. We feel this is necessary as most of us want to do this during our present life living in the body, accessing the entire vertical component from birth to death in the present (NOW) by consciously going beyond mind and returning, must really require much more force and potential as the force of attraction of the consciousness is very powerful. This is available only with the sub consciousness or kundalini, the dormant part of our consciousness. 

We have always considered that one consciousness of the omnipotent has bifurcated into all the billions of consciousness available in the entire universe just to experience himself/ herself, in every possible way. If this is increased to two or more, then the first objection we will come across is that which of them is superior. This is because we have a basic feeling that it should be so, as this is what we see and practice in our lives. Thus, it is best left as one supreme with out a contender. But are not the billion consciousness same omnipotent?

In the spiritual plane beyond mind the existence of time vanishes this means that space will also vanish what is left is the omnipotent, we will argue this with the statement how much space exist inside our mind while we imagine the entire universe? Or some may argue that, everything is only this life and after this there is nothing.
