We are inside a matrix inside the Universe. There is chaos all around us. Celestial activities are happening always. Different activities happen in the atmosphere; the winds, the clouds, lightning, thunder, storms, etc. Activities are going on in the oceans and water bodies; rainfall, snowfall, flood, cloudburst, landslide, etc. Activities are going on inside the earth’s surface and its core as well. Such as the movement of different tectonic plates, earthquakes, volcanoes, metamorphosis, etc. All these are happening on their own, as the entropy of the Universe is increasing every moment. So thus, the chaos keeps fluctuating around us.
There are living organisms with a consciousness that acts according to their needs and influence. There are organisms in water, land, and air. Human beings, animals, birds, insects, microorganisms, plants, etc. all have their consciousness. All these components of the Universe interact with each other adding to the chaos. Humans are the most conscious living beings and have been developing different technologies and altering the universal harmony, for making life comfortable and for their benefit.
Each individual is thinking, saying, and acting according to his or her conscience. All these are energy which is interacting with universal energy. This energy can be synergistic or antagonistic; creative or destructive, creating harmony or disharmony. Thus, there is a vast network of thoughts, sounds, and activities all around us. We are inside a web or matrix. This collective consciousness of all humans and living beings in the Universe is also called panpsychism.
Thus, to be peaceful amidst such a network of psychism, we need to be aware of what is going on inside us and around us. We should be aware of time and space, and understand what other people or living beings are going through. Then we should act to maintain the harmony among the different energies in the Universe.
We should keep ourselves detached from unnecessary reactions to the events, activities, words, or thoughts of other beings or our own. We should observe keenly, understand, and then respond consciously. In other words, we should live consciously always. We should do what is beneficial for our body, mind, and soul. When we will be free from the influence of external illusions and unstable energies of the Universe, we will live with peace and harmony. Our minds will be calm and clear, we will think positively, speak the truth and politely, without hurting anybody. As a result, our actions will also become constructive, non-violent, and beneficial for everybody. Thus, the people and other living beings around us will be influenced positively; directly, or indirectly.
If we understand the matrix we are in and try to reduce the chaos in the universe as much as we can; it will be easier for all to survive peacefully and less energy will be wasted in unnecessary frictions among each other. All these will maintain the harmony in the universe and everything in it will flourish and live fully. (The author is an MD in Ayurvedic Medicine & can be reached at bharali.suman@rediffmail.com)
