I have a parallel universe within me!
- Ms. shantala kottisa

I was sitting on the terrace yesterday night , wondering at the infinity of the night sky. There are countless number of stars and planets, stars and galaxies. But more astounding is the fact that there is an inestimable amount of space between them. Though this space is empty, it is such an important factor in maintaining the stability of the universe. If not for space, all the cosmic bodies would rush into each other and annhilate each other. It seemed to me for a moment that all the heavenly bodies are suspended in the limitless confines of this something...which we call space. At that point I felt that our human psyche is a veritable comparision to the universe. As human beings we understand the extent of thinking we do each day and how many thoughts fill our mind. Each thought has an impact on our mind and external life. If we think positive thoughts we feel optismistic and when we think negative thoughts we feel pessimistic and so on. But there could be a question as to whether there should be the factor called 'quality' attached to thoughts. True enough there are some thoughts which are neutral. Say thoughts about how the universe goes on, trying to understand how we could use a mathematical formula to solve a problem etc. One could come up with the answer that wonder and curiosity are the qualities involved in these thoughts. Yes, that is correct, but what I mean by neutral thougts are thoughts that some how do not include judgements about situations and people in terms of good and bad , thoughts which have an impact on the way we feel. There are thoughts of a kind which propel one to make decisions about the future and have great consequences once put to practise etc. So in short we are going through an entire thought spectrum and each hue of the spectrum leaves an impact on us. The multitudinous directions in which our mind thinks in an entire day is as azamzing, complicated and incomprehensible as the entire universe around us. And each thought like the stars and planets seeks freedom. Each wants to be executed and each hankers to see itself materialised externally. But if not for the something called the sustratum of our mind, our minds would be jumbled up with random thoughts in no time. This substratum of the mind is like the space between the heavenly bodies.And the substratum has to be broader than the superimpositions on it, if it has to reflect and capture every thought that pops up in our mind(Iam not sure what this substratum is made of at the moment, but through my own analysis iam convinced of the fact that there is this substratum). What if the thought is not reflected on the sustratum? Firstly, a thought such as one which cannot be reflected on the sustratum cannot arise, for the simple reason that all thought arises, reflects and dies on the sustratum alone. It is like how the universe has been formed , sustained and destroyed in space.Just like a heavenly body cannot be devoid of sapce or say vaccum around it, so too no thought can arise independently of our mind's substratum. But yes, thinking of another order is possible, wherein one tries to understand the substratum itself by going beyond thought. To bring back the analogy of the universe,it is like space, which can sustain itelf and it need not be surrounded or supported by anything. I felt looking at the night sky which I was speaking about at the beggining of the article, that my own psyche is structured and designed after the design of the universe and may be I will run the same course as the macrocosm but in an infinetesimally small duration of time - that is why I think I have a parallel universe running in me.
