The greatest evil on the planet is ignorance. Realization of truth plays an important role to eradicate this ignorance. We need to learn what is real and valuable. Truth is the only authority that guides our life. We need to experiment, observe, verify and further, examine the truth; not simply believe.
Understanding the ‘Truth State’ scientifically and learning to live in that state’ is the essence and goal of “Living with the truth.” Spirituality emphasises the importance in realising truth through science.
The Outer truth or Periphery or world also referred to as Prakruthi is superficial reality- everything around us that has physical dimensions and which we can see, hear, smell, feel, taste and touch. This includes features of the Earth’s topography, living and non-living organisms as well as infinite galaxies. In this Outer truth, we have a body, mind with emotions and ecosystem.
Everything that exists in the Outer truth is ultimately matter made of sub-atomic particles. These invisible sub-atomic particles in turn are composed of 99.9999999% empty like space which is pure inner silence or inner truth referred Quantum field or Purusha.
The Inner truth is the real spiritual dimension of us. To gain access to this inner original natural state, we need to develop harmony in the body, mind and ecosystem. This is possible through the tenets of Scientific Spirituality which include Body Spirituality, Mind Spirituality, emotions spirituality, Eco-Spiritualty and Ever-present spirituality.
- Outer self is Truth outside, Inner self is Truth inside both constitutes Wholeness or Oneness.
- Integrating with the truth in everything, integrating with the truth in every being, integrating with the truth everywhere, integrating with the truth in every moment and Integrating with the truth in ever-present way is spirituality.
Once the truth is understood scientifically, it can create a fundamentally strong brain which acts like a filter for all misguided information, belief systems & mysticism. Scientific Spirituality is also unwavering and not swayed by individual subjective experiences. hence in the process individuals becomes more self- reliant.
- LIVING IN THE PRESENT
Here and now state is the truth of life, in the lap of it we are leading life. Truth of our life is the Present, that shapes our reality. Living in the Present needs a complete understanding of what is Present?. For analytical and explanatory purposes, the “Present” could be divided into two parts. The first part is the ‘Peripheral state” (Surface reality) which is external, physical, tangible, past dependent and visible to our eyes. Generally, we experience this state and it is perceived easily by us from the beginning of our lives. Hence we call it as ‘Outer Present.’ It is experienced as infinite outer existence with Ecosystem, body and mind. It is also labelled with different names like superficial reality, periphery, materialistic world, Prakruti , outer spirit, outer truth, outer self… etc.,
The second part of the ‘Present’ is an important dimension, which we need to understand scientifically. From a scientific perspective, the whole of Outer Present is made up of atoms with the inner content of 99.9999999% empty-like-space which we refer to as Inner Present. It is experienced as deep sleep like state. It is also labelled with different names like Deeper reality, Inherent present state, center, Real I, core, Purusha, inner spirit, inner truth, inner self… etc.,
Can anyone live outside the present? We believe in past, present and future, but we forget the fact that they are only points in the given series of ‘Present
Past is past or history, it won’t comeback, Do not brood over past, Past is known, Do not worry about future & Past will help you to handle the present.
Make present beautiful – future will be taken care
But Present is the only universal truth which is constant, unchanging and exists forever hence called ever-present reality.
We are born with this state and it is present not only when we are alive, but also continues to exist beyond our death. Hence, it is also called ‘Ever-Present State’.
Every human being should understand the peripheral outer present and core inner present dimensions of his personality in order to achieve “completeness” or “wholeness.”
Our Core Present is beyond time and space. Whereas Outer or Peripheral Present is dependent on both ‘past’ and ‘future’ or an illusion.
- Present has wholeness inclusive of both outer and inner Present. Wholeness means all the contents of existence from Quantum essence [ inner present] to infinite galaxies[outer present]
HOW TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT?
- Witness the natural rhythms of life
- Convert everything into its reality
- Role Play in the Outer Present
- Meditation as a spiritual journey
- Spirituality 24/7: Centring in the inner present & Dynamic activity at the outer present
- Finding presence in every moment, in every being and in every thing
- Being human
- Yoga
- Scientific spirituality is A simple, practical, livable, rational and scientific form of spirituality and it unburdens the baggage of the past and helps each one of us to live in the Present in a practical, scientific, liveable and spiritual manner.
- LIVING WITH HOLISTIC SELF IS SPIRITUALITY
Holistic simply means wholeness, Holistic self has two components – the Outer self or superficial self is what we experience in this existence and inner self or deeper-self is what we are or real content.
Superficial self or outer self involves a peripheral component– physical self, psychological self, emotional self & ecological self – where time and space exist– Generally what we experience.
Deeper self or inner self has central component – atomic stuff of 99.9999999% empty like / pure being / Quantum essence/ inner self / devoid of time and space. This central component is what we really we are. Here we need to note it is deep sleep like state where the ego I disappears. Normally we are in this state during our intrauterine period of 9 months , during newborn period, when body &mind dies and we can be rooted in this state 24×7 if we minus our perception.
Self awareness means just knowing yourself. It can be considered as a User’s- Manual for life. Outer self is Truth outside; Inner self is Truth inside both constitutes Wholeness or Oneness. Understanding outer self and its care is a priority education. activities in the Outer self such as thinking, planning, imagining, seeing, listening, touching, tasting, hugging etc, which originates from body, mind and ecosystem are masking our inner self. Hence integrating truth of outside [outer-self] and truth inside [inner- self] give us wholeness & promotes holistic self-awareness.
- More we know about wholeness of self, the better we can handle ourselves.
- To summarise we have 5 divisions in self awareness namely physical self, psychological self, emotional self & ecoself as outer self [periphery with time and space]. 5th is inner self or pure self which is atomic stuff or Quantum essence as central which has no time and space. This inner self is the center of us and is fundamental to all peripheral 4 self namely physical self, mental self, emotional self & ecoself.
- LIVING WITH SPIRIT IS SPIRITUALITY
Despite scientific advancement and material growth, physical, mental & emotional ailments are increasing, ecologically we are facing not only Global warming but Global Boiling Hence today we need solutions. Society is facing Unhappiness crisis leading to significant morbidity burden. We need Health of the whole system not just the parts. Hence our UNSDG 2030 aiming to ensure healthy lives and promote well being for all at all ages. The WHO’s Constitution states that its objective “Is the attainment by all people of the Highest possible level of health”. We need scientific solutions as Science explains the outer world BUT spirituality reveals our inner world.
Spirituality is synonyms with Happiness and it is achieved by appreciating and celebrating the contents in the Present. Today it is more important to introduce ecofriendly holistic happiness education. Scientific Spirituality is practical, rational, and happiness & contentment Inducing.
- Spirit is fundamental in the existence. Spirit exists in each and every thing, in every being, in every moment. Hence whole existence is spirit
- Spirit alone is the true reality. Periphery is just a crystallization of the spirit only
- Let us know first what is spirituality?
- Living with wholeness of spirit is spirituality. Wholeness has outer spirit is what we experience as Ecosystem or Prakruti , where we experience living and non living beings.
- Wholeness has inner spirit is what we really we are , made of atomic stuff which is 99.9999999% empty like other wise called Quantum reality which is the source for everything in the existence.
Outer spirit is our outer self / outer truth/ prakruti/Periphery
This inner spirit is our inner self/ inner truth/ Purusha/ center.
Note: Different terminologies are used depending on the circumstance but it is like two dimensions of a coin. Every moment in life wholeness is the key. Simple center [inner Present] and periphery [outer Present] terminology is easier to understand.
Spirit alone is the true reality. Ecosystem or periphery of existence is just a crystallization of the spirit only Wholeness has inner spirit is what we really we are , made of atomic stuff which is 99.9999999% empty like other wise called Quantum reality which is the source for everything in the existence.
