3.1 microvita, 3.2.4 quantum theory
Sub-atomic Processes and the
Formation of Microvita
July 7,1995
You know, there are three categories of particles within atomic structures. There are those particles which are visible and which constitute nuclear physics. Then there are those particles or nuclear forces which maintain the integrity of the atomic structure. And thirdly, there is Microvita.
In present physics, all of the factors which are involved are not known. But this science will be advancing in the near future, due to certain discoveries. You see, in the expression of macrocosmic development, there is a pattern in the operative principles. That is, the workings of Prakriti are not random but very organized, very systematic. It is through the interaction of these binding principles that consciousness is transmuted into matter. Now, when one looks upon this process in the microcosm, in the atomic sphere, it is no different than in the macrocosm. In the atomic sphere, even in the subatomic sphere, the binding principles of Prakriti are mutating the qualities and characteristics of the substance. That is to say, as these operative principles or binding factors are adjusted, what is configured to be ether and bound accordingly may become liquid, or even solid factor. What happens? Rajas and Tamas are increased.
Now, what is this on a subatomic level? Rajasguna is mutative. That is to say, it is responsible for the mutation of matter, the transformation of one type of matter into another type. So when Rajasguna is active, the atomic particles will be changing, they will be mutating in their relationship to each other. They will become more and more tightly conserved. The range of distance between particles and also the configuration of the particles will change and, as Tamasguna becomes more dominant and these changes begin to slow, there will become a steady quality to the atomic process and it will appear to be stable. Now, when these particles are most heavily bound, they are solid factor. So the operative principles, the binding principles, operate on the microcosmic level as they do in the macrocosm.
Now, this is not to say that macrocosm and microcosm are identical. They are not, but the same operating principles are engaging both spheres. In the macrocosm, there is the operation of space and time. Now, there are certain anomalies in this relation of space and time that are not as yet very clearly comprehended and these affect the functioning of subatomic particles. So all of these factors affect the dynamic action which occurs in the subatomic sphere, but it is through the development of the binding principles that Microvita are produced.
As the binding principles become more and more constrictive, there becomes a tension between subatomic particles in which there is a tendency to excessive restriction. The particles become entrapped by Tamasguna. They cannot escape. The atomic structure begins to constrict and a certain tension is brought. Due to this tension, there becomes a need for the breaking, that is to escape this constriction. And how to escape? It is like a rope around the neck. These particles are bound, but the force of centripy desires that they be unbound.
Now, in order to unbind the energy locked in this constricted particle formation, a new force comes into existence that is dominated by Sentience. When Tamas over restricts, Sattva emerges. And when this occurs, the very nature of the energy is transmuted so that it may slip through the bindings of Tamas. Do you know that Sattva cannot be bound by Tamas? It is too subtle. It will slip through. So in order to rescue these bound particles from the doom of ever increasing constriction, Sattvas emerges and transmutes the energy in these particles into Sattva dominated substance, into sentience. And this substance slips through the binding of Tamas. It cannot be contained. Then, when this happens, Microvita are formed. After a certain amount of energy is released, balance is again found on the subatomic level and the particles in question will become stable. Like this, the balance of the universe is ever maintained.
You see, Prakriti is very orderly. She likes that Her creation should work very smoothly and all the parts balance each other in function and in mode of expression. So in order to have this, she must make a systematic process, a rational process, though it may not always appear rational to a limited intellect. But it is very orderly, very reasonable, this operative expression of Prakriti.
Now, if Sentience, that is Microvita, non physical particles, becomes greater than Tamas, and if Sattva dominates, then Tamas will begin to lose its grip and the actual pattern of the atomic structure will be altered by the Microvita. Thus it will become adaptive to support Sentience. The Microvita will accumulate, forming a kind of shadow atom, a subtle atom, a Sattva atom within the physical structure. This is the essential life force. Mind is composed from this Sattvic or subtle atom. This subatomic sphere is a building block of mental development. Do you see how it goes? It is very rational. She is a very orderly lady, this Prakriti. She likes all to be in order so that the operative principle functions in a sequential fashion.
Now, I think perhaps, you have understood a little better about this Microvita.
Q: If energy is released in an atom and that energy becomes Microvita, does the structure of the atom change? In other words, does say a carbon atom become boron?
If Microvita is formed, it will not influence the structural development of the atom unless Sattva becomes dominant on Tamas. Then the atom cannot maintain its' original structure. Sentience is too great and it must transmute into a living atom. That is, one which is covered with this Sentience from which mental stuff is created, Citta is created. Alright?
Q: But if the proton, say, of the nuclear is changed, doesn't this change the atomic structure?
I will speak to this. When the atom is stabilized in its original structure, Sattvas is not dominant, Tamas continues to dominate. But if the amount of energy released in order to balance the restriction of Tamas is great, then the actual physical configuration of the atom will change. You must realize that the atom is not made out of physical structure, it is made out of Cosmic Mind transmuted down by Tamas. So if Tamas loses its' grip, mind will change in its' appearance. So, in that case, the physical structure will appear to change. It will configure differently because sentient principles will now be dominant, not Tamas. So Mutative principles will be brought into action by the call of the Sentient principle and physical structure will change and this shadow atom, this Citta, this life force, this Microvita will be within the particles and the actual configuration will alter to support the sentient principle. Alright?
I think perhaps this has clarified some points. If you want to research this, you should create a circumstance in which Tamas will become dominant and constriction or degeneration occurs so that you may see the emergence of Sattva and Microvita. It is a wonder to behold. But an ordinary microscope will not give the picture. Most of the picture will be invisible. You must use refraction so that the lines of energy may become visible: not only particles but lines of energy. That way you will begin to get some knowledge of this process. If observation becomes very refined through certain techniques, eventually you can see the three binding principles, their trace, their patterns, their frequencies and you may observe the difference and interaction. When this occurs, many things will open up. But as long as only particles are observed, it is a partial view with only corner pieces and no connecting link.
