The other week I was ill and a little delirious. I was thinking about theories of quantum consciousness and spacetime geometry (stay with me) on the lines of Penrose and Hameroff's OrchOR theory (worth looking up!) and quite suddenly I had a vision of 'life, the universe and everything' and how everything fitted together.
I won't go into the details here, but it was very profound, and unified my own mind, life and existence with the Universe and everything in it. I saw that there is ONLY consciousness, and that everything is merely a product of consciousness (matter, gravity, everything) and I saw how all scientific experimentation to discover fundamental truths of the universe are pointless because we only end up finding out about our own individual conscious experience of existence (c/f quantum physics). I saw that we are all 'polyps' of God (the Universe) and that we are essentially the Universe experiencing exisitence to find out what existence is for. It is both personalised for everyone and at the same time a basic truth common to all. I have a vague knowledge of Buddhism and Hinduism and the similarities between my science based approach and eastern mysticism seemed uncanny. I could go on (and on...ahem!).
Anyway, over and over in my mind the word REALIZATION kept repeating, over and over and I eventually remembered many years ago sending away for the 'Gift of realization' in Old Moore's Almanack. I had filled in and posted off a form to an organisation called 'The Rosicrucians' and expected to recieve a 'full information pack'. Anyway, I never did recieve anything and forgot all about it. Until this episode that is.
Once I was well again, I thought I'd look up the Rosicrucians on the internet, just to see if there was any correlation between my 'vision' and their beliefs. As it turned out they were very very similar to what my vision of 'life the universe and everything' was.
I am left feeling that maybe I did get my 'full information pack' after all. It just wasn't quite what I expected! It has actually left me a little 'shaken'.
Anyone else ever send away for 'the gift of realization'?
P.S. I'm not trying to recruit anyone into a cult. I am not a rosicrucian!
