The law of attractive forces
The traditional definition of force, as per Newton's laws, states that everybody remains in a state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a force. There are two key concepts here: rest and uniform motion. These concepts are relative; a body may seem at rest in one frame of reference but appear to be in motion in another. The frame of reference determines whether a body is at rest or in motion.
Furthermore, when a
force acts upon a body, it sets it in motion. However, if the force sets a
velocity that matches the velocity of the observing reference frame, it may
seem as if no force has acted at all. Thus, the presence or absence of force is
also relative. This suggests that the frame of reference itself shapes our
perception of both material objects and the forces between them. Therefore,
rather than considering material objects or forces as fundamental aspects of
reality, we might consider the "perspective" or reference frame as
the true fundamental reality. Here, the reference frame is carefully
chosen such that it allows the perception of reality, as we know it.
Everything we perceive is energy, vibrations at different frequencies. Our brains process these vibrations to create our perception of reality. Some perceptions are unique to individuals, forming their individual experiences of consciousness. Other perceptions are more consistent rigid imprints, which defines the values of the global variables in the neural network. The individual perspectives align to these universal values to form a coherent experience of reality.
Gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces have shaped our universe. After millions of years of evolution, we are now capable of perceiving the universe as it is. While we understand the facts to some extent how the universe was created, the question of why it was created remains elusive.
The universal observer perceives the universe in many different ways. Each human experience is a unique perspective, contributing to the whole. It is as if the creator is deeply in love with Her creation, constantly seeking new perspectives to appreciate it. This love is the fundamental reason for existence. The universe's self-love drives the creation of new perspectives to enjoy its existence. We are here to experience this love, beauty, and truth.
This love manifests everywhere, sometimes clearly and sometimes subtly. In places where there is form, it appears as a love for material objects. In places where there is no form, it is expressed as a love for ideas such as spirituality, liberalism, nationalism, capitalism, socialism, and other concepts that shape our collective imagination.
When we express love for those close to us, it is our brains, driven by neurochemistry, that guide us to love. Chemical reactions in our bodies follow the instructions of our brains. Sex is the deepest expression of our connection to this concept of love, driven by the force of life to create newer life. Evolution is another expression that represents the love for newer forms, fostering new perspectives and better chances of self-realization.
Everything we do, whether good or bad, is motivated by our love for someone or something. This same love has created gravity strong enough to form stars and weak enough to keep planets and galaxies in place without collapsing into a single mass.
The creator has set forth a creative process where new forms are being created and destroyed continuously. She has created several instances of her that is engaged lovingly with all forms that is created. In fact, sometimes it is like that the creator is in a state of sexual orgasm with the creation, enjoying it with all senses and mind and the flow of love continues unabated.
The creator has initiated a continuous process of creation and destruction. The creator engages lovingly with all forms created, sometimes experiencing the creation as if in a state of perpetual orgasm, enjoying it with all senses and mind, and allowing the flow of love to continue unabated.
Who are we, then? Are we the lover or the beloved? We are both the observer and the observed, the one who loves and the one who is loved.
Ancient observers have explained this relationship using the metaphor of Shiva and Shakti. Shakti represents the material world, the existence as it is, while Shiva is the divine lover, the non-existent self that emerged into existence out of love for Shakti. The material world is nurturing and feminine, while the spiritual world is like Shiva, an unattached lover deeply in love with Shakti but detached from materialism.
This metaphor explains the dynamics between the observer and the observed. However, it is symbolic and not meant to reinforce gender stereotypes. The concept of Ardhnarishwar, or the half-male, half-female form of Shiva, represents the unity beyond male and female identities. Shiva and Shakti are inseparable; Shiva can be Shakti, and Shakti can be Shiva. They have an inseparable identity.
Do Shiva and Shakti exist in our plane of existence? Yes, because our plane of existence is in our minds, and everything exists if we believe it does. This relates to the adaptive feature of human beings—collective imagination. It is this collective imagination that has created nations, money, and private companies in our civilizations. There is no real existence beyond the collective human imagination , but within the human mind, they are as real as physical existence.
So, what is reality? To answer this, we must first assume that reality exists, and we just do not fully understand it. Reality exists within a certain reference frame, beyond which there is no existence. This reference frame is what we might call the universal mind, God, or any term that fits our language. We are individual instances or perspectives within this reference frame. This individual instance or perspective or experience, or any other name you want to give it, is what we know as individual consciousness. The sum of all individual consciousness is universal consciousness.
The "Atman" is our perspective at this moment. Where is the Atman within us? It is not in our body, senses, mind, or emotions. It is an instance of the universal consciousness, one of numerous perspectives of the universal observer. Quantitatively different but qualitatively identical, like sunlight in our rooms is not the same thing as the sun, yet it is nothing different from it.
No two human experiences are same. It is a journey of the soul from one frame of reference to another till you have traveled enough to know that the destination is the same as the source and you are both the destination and the source. You exist everywhere, yet nowhere. You are limited yet unlimited. You live yet you were never born. You die yet you are never dead. You are the nonexistence that existed before Big Bang. You are the cause of the Big Bang and the birth of Time and the four fundamental forces. You created matter and anti-matter and you separated them so that the universe is left with a little bit more matter. You asked Gravity to collapse matter to form light and stars and galaxies. You fused them to create Carbon and Nitrogen. You added them in a bowl to form the proteins and life. You carefully selected the best species so that life can thrive and finally you created an intelligent animal that can perceive the universe as a creation of yours.
Human life can bring you to the same point where you started. You enjoy your growth , you enjoy your power , you enjoy your love for yourself . Every instance of you is veiled so that they do not come to know your loving face. The moment of unveiling is so beautiful that it is worth a thousand lives. It is like a lover waiting in anticipation of her beloved. All boundaries dissolve, leaving only the oneness of everything that exists and does not exist. All reference frames merge into one absolute frame. The observer merges with the observed, leaving only oneness.
Matter and forces are tools in the hands of the super-intelligent and wise algorithm running in the background to express the infinite love the infinite creator has for its infinite creation. We are the love, the creator, the creation, and the algorithm—Maya, the attractive force that keeps the creator and the creation in perpetual love.
