It was 1:50PM in my watch as I was busy wrapping up a document review which was supposed to be sent before 2PM.. Every movement of that seconds hand made me feel more and more helpless as I could feel the sands of time slipping through my fist.. My increased heart rate was witness to my anxiety .Guess watt!! My cell phone rings and as I pick it up...my desk phone accompanies it too, so much to do in so less time.. After those action packed 10 mins, things were done and I was as peaceful as a ship’s captain who witnessed the most turbulent storms and crossed it courageously. I was a soul totally engrossed in his own reality. As I stood up to take a break and as my eyes discerned across the office space I witnessed people all around busy struggling with their own life problems, trying to steer their ships through their own storms. All of a sudden a strange though struck me, I felt a Paradoxical realization of connect as well as a disconnect with the people around me. I could empathize with their struggle yet I was totally oblivious to their existence because I was so engrossed in my own existence. I guess..I was witnessing Objective and Subjective reality at the same instant. In Objective reality, it’s the objective world as viewed by science and society as primary and as experienced by our senses. Whereas, in Subjective reality, it’s an experiential world of an individual world (mine, or yours) as primary with our mind creating our own reality.
Quantum reality, currently considered to be the true nature of reality by scientists all over the world , has proved that if two particles get entangled at quantum level and are then separated or even if taken to two corners of the universe.. still there exist some kind of cosmic connection between them forever... This also called “Quantum Interconnectedness” or "Quantum Entanglement"
Back here in my office, the feeling of disconnect was overwhelming, but still I could empathize with people in my office or for that matter the victims in Japan’s flood when the horrifying videos kept getting uploaded on Facebook.
In today’s highly interconnected world, where everybody is connected to everybody else through FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, TWITTER, SKYPE which have become symbols of interconnectedness of human race. They are pushing the ever expanding circle of human consciousness beyond blood ties or friends to cross borders. Bringing people nearer to each other.
In his new book NEW CONSCIOUSNESS, Kingsley describes
“A new form of integral consciousness is less likely to embrace a global techno-industrial complex future. a collectively evolving emphatic mind that will inform a greater awareness for working together; community-building; shared values and ethics; and working towards re-modelling how the world operates. It will not be ‘business as usual’ as most future forecasters seem to predict;”
The futurists predict that the hyper connectedness will keep bringing us nearer and will change the human society forever. What the human species may now be witnessing during this great acceleration is the rise of intuition, empathy, and greater connectivity to the world and to people. We might be stepping onto the next level of human evolution a step towards the formation of “collective consciousness” or the MIND OF MANKIND.
Nature of reality as we know is still unknown to us, even as one of the brightest minds are still trying to unravel the ULTIMATE TRUTH. But somewhere down the line I guess the equations underlying the complicated matrix of reality are nothing else but the mysterious equations of love :)
