Virtual reality: Part IV

All epics were reconstructed on stage to stir within the hearts of the audience emotions that could produce the attitudinal changes required for evolution.

The future of cyberspace, as a tool of spiritual evolvement, into the higher dimensions of Creation, is decodable only by those who attempt to understand its history!

All history is intermingled with the evolution of art, which in turn influences the socio-cultural and spiritual development of a race. Cutting across all cultures and races, we find that drama, and theatre, portrayed all the aspirations and ambitions of the common people. All epics were reconstructed on stage to stir within the hearts of the audience the emotions that could produce the attitudinal changes required for evolution.

Nietzshe in his book The Birth of Tragedy points out the two basic principles involved in theatre, the Dionysian and the Apolonian. Dionysius represents the bringing into form of sequences, and then shattering them. On the other hand, Apollo would represent the illuminated mind giving form to this process.

The bringing into existence of a high form of beauty and joy (through the Dionysian) and then shattering it through tragedy and cracking it up (the Apollonian) must both be lived together, for life without dying becomes meaningless. Living the dying process requires a sense of fine balance, and the acting performed on stage required both to be present in equal measure.

For example, let us take the metal bowl of Campbell, which I described earlier. This was a tool for creating an illusory vision, which would actually portray an undeniable future reality. By seeing the face of an old man in place of his own, the viewer is shocked into realizing the mortality of his body, and the immortality of the soul.

Our normal waking consciousness is separated, by flimsy screens, from the potential conscious realities that co-exist within that same physical space, but in a different time dimension. To enter into them requires just the right amount of stimulation, through virtual reality bytes to be introduced into the human consciousness, to actually 'see' them in their totality! This is the crux of the principle that we apply, when we wish to evolve into higher realms through meditation and contemplation.

When we are taught guided meditations, and taken through higher frequencies of waveforms and Light, it triggers off cellular memories of past lives lived in those higher dimensions. Once that gateway is pierced, through the virtual reality techniques of guided meditations, repeatedly, the panorama of those higher states of consciousness becomes apparent. When regularly performed, these also form a sort of addiction for the soul, who then craves to be what it truly is, infinite and all-powerful, not a tiny ineffective bit of a soul that has been put into a weak and ageing human body!

Let us learn to live life through the whole gamut of emotions, from joy to sadness, love to hate, life through dying, to encapsulate it all within us, so that when the gateway eventually appears before us, we are ready to take off into its enticing intoxication, to that everlasting blissful state which we call Nirvana!
