“I have found that a deeper awareness and sensitivity towards reality and the nature of Self makes one appreciate how the idea of reality shifts is not only a possibility but a constant in our lives. We have just been unaware of its occurrence. Talking to many people who are more or less on the path of spiritual awakening, I have noticed how one very common thing among them is that the concept of reality is no longer solid and limited but very malleable. The greater our awareness, the more we move away from preconceived notions of our reality especially socially constructed beliefs and norms. Even Science has been questioning the nature of reality since its early days and now with increasing insights into particle physics, Cosmology and Quantum mechanics, the idea of a one fixed reality seems to start becoming untenable and unlikely.
The growth in human knowledge seems to be taking us unequivocally towards this direction – to discover or rather re-discover something that has been eluding us all the time: There are alternative parallel realities to the one we perceive as being solidly ours. Perhaps we might have also been accessing these realities unknowingly in our dreams, deja-vus, moments of clarity and internal shifts and all those experiences the mind is so trained at forgetting or dismissing as being imaginary or unreal. I believe that there is a lot to learn and discover about parallel realities. The Universe is our playground – even better: the Multiverse is our playground.”
