Inspite of all epoch-making and inspiring new discoveries in biochemistry and virology, the origin of life is still the most puzzling of all natural phenomena. The difference between the processes of life and those occurring in non-living matter can only be defined by what Bernhard Hassenstein has termed an ‘injunctive’ definition. This means that to define the concept of life it is necessary to enumerate a number of constituent characteristics, none of which, taken by itself, constitutes life, but which, taken all together, in their summation and interaction, do indeed represent the essence of life. For each of the processes of life, such as metabolism, growth, propagation and so on, an analogy can be found in inorganic matter, but all together can only be found in the living protoplasm. We are thus justified in maintaining that life processes are chemical and physical processes, and as such there is no doubt that fundamentally there is a natural explanation for them. No miracle is required to explain their peculiarities, for these are adequately explained by the complicated nature of molecular and other structures. It is wrong, however, to assert that life processes are essentially chemical and physical processes. This assertion, though often made, contains unnoticed a false value judgement.

In continuation of the advancing research on human genes and neuropeptides, the molecular (neuro) biologists and
physicists have also discovered some macromolecules responsible for bioelectrical functioning in the human body. It
is found that a powerful electrostatic field exists in almost every tissue of our body. These electrical fields activate
the neurons in the brain under the energized control of small amounts of certain neurotransmitters and these also
affect the cell membrane potentials and hence the inter-cellular communication in other parts of the body.
Because of the enormous bioelectrical processing in it, our body functions like a dipole magnet whose north pole
resides in the central core of the brain and the south pole in the bottom center of the genitals. Scientific observations
show that its polarization process is similar to that of the earth and that this polarization begins right at the level of
a zygote. The meiotic process occurs after this polarization.
An electro-sensitive micron image of even a child’s body shows dense halo of light near the brain and the genitals.
The locations of the north and the south poles of the grand bioelectrical magnet of the human body match respectively
with those of the

 (extrasensory center in the reticular activating system) and the &( (extrasensory
center beneath the lower most end of the spinal column). These subtle energy centers are referred in the yogascriptures
in the context of the 0($ – galaxy of vital electricity and spiritual powers. These two extrasensory
centers respectively are said to be the subliminal inlets and outlets or the two ‘channels’ for the continuous flow of
cosmic energy, vital currents and bioelectrical communication in the body’s universe.
In his book entitled “The Field of Life” (John Wiley, 1972) Dr. Sexton Burr writes that the high magnitude of the
(bio)electrical potentials between the two poles of a tiny zygote is indeed astounding. This (bio)electromagnetic
property naturally has a crucial role in enabling multi-cellular development of this single cell into the marvelous
human body. In fact, as Dr. Burr describes, sperm itself is a dipole in which the upper pole carrying the nucleus is
the center of information and the lower pole, the tail, contains electrical energy for transmitting this information.
These poles are functionally active in the DNA and RNA of the cells in the offspring.
The continuous and controlled flow of electrical currents between the involved cellular dipoles plays vital role in
embryogenesis and complete development of the body. According to Dr. Jean Mark (Science, issue no. 1, 1981)
electrophoresis is fundamental to various cellular processes occurring inside a living body. The balanced circulation
and optimal activities of the RBCs and the WBCs also rely on the ionic secretions through the membranes of these
cells.

We are all interconnected through our bodies and thoughts. Each of us influences another and one another. The moment we understand how deeply, totally, and intensely connected we are interconnected, we’ll open many new dimensions of living. We experience bliss. This is the ultimate spiritual experience.
Every day in our lives we are stressed. We are continuously disturbed. We think that we have too much to do. We think that we have one body, one small body, to think or enjoy. And the troubles and trials the body faces everyday is too much for some of us. All our troubles melt away when we disappear into the Collective Consciousness.
When we disappear into the Collective Consciousness, we’ll have so many dimensions, so many possibilities. These are unimaginable now. Sometimes we have so much fun, so much joy bubbling within our body. Suppose we have two bodies, imagine how much joy can pour forth from it. Being in the Collective Consciousness, disappearing into the Collective Consciousness, is simply multiplying that joy many fold.
It is something like having three different bodies in three different continents living in three different cultures. The bliss or joy of living in the Collective Consciousness is beyond all of these.
When we completely experience that we’re consciousness without boundaries, it is an inexplicable experience. It’s an unbelievable experience. It’s difficult to imagine or visualise or express this experience. At the end of the programmes I conduct, I’ve seen people filled with ecstasy. In their exalted state of ecstasy they forget their name, identity, social status, education, qualifications, wealth, and religion. They forget everything. They forget what they are and what they have. They simply begin to respect another person. In fact, they respect everyone. They fall at each other’s feet.
I’ve seen a father-in-law falling at the feet of his daughter-in-law. In India this never happens. It’s too much to ask for from the traditional people. But this has happened at the end of the programmes. He did it because he glimpsed the divinity in her. A grandparent touches the feet of a granddaughter. The bosses touch the feet of their staff.
We need to go layer by layer, level by level, to realise that we are a part of Collective Consciousness. We’ll realise that we’re more than a part of the Collective Consciousness. We’re the Collective Consciousness.
