MICROVITA AND SHADOW ATOMS

March 11, 1995

 

Q: If microvita are created in the introversial phase, then what are the atoms composed of? Is the answer that the microvita in the introversial phase are  awakened' microvita and the microvita in the extroversial phase are in a  dormant' state?

 

     The microvita are created in the introversial phase of evolution. When the atomic particles are formed in the extroversial phase, they are devoid of microvita. All substance is alive. Cosmic Mind is alive, it is sentient, but it is crudified by the gunas, it is transformed. You see, when the gunas are applied, then there is transformation of quality and characteristic. Not only in the gross, but even in the atomic level. There is change from etherial to liquid to solid. Likewise, when the wood is burned, the heat comes from the wood, there is molecular change. But during this extroversial phase of evolution, Cosmic Mind is being transformed through the application of the gunas. Mind is sentient but its manifestation is non-sentient. It is mind, it is composed of mind but it has taken non-sentient form and when the critical point is reached, when the matter has become so atomically condensed, there is a process which occurs in this condensation. The ultimate negativity is reached, the ultimate condensation of consciousness is reached and at that very juncture, there is the transformation of matter into mind, into life. So, what has been condensed, and condensed again until it has become solid factor, is condensed to the very critical point where it can condense no further and at that critical point, there is an alchemical process that occurs, when condensation reaches its maximum density. In this process, there can be no further crudification of consciousness and therefore, there is the eruption, the breaking free of consciousness from the condensation. It has become too tightly constricted and consciousness breaks free, and that breaking free is the development of life.

     In microvita are the tiny life forms, the smallest life forms, the tiniest particles of living substance. They are subatomic. But, in this process, consciousness has escaped. It has broken the bonds of material substance, and it has become living substance. Then this free emanation of living substance impacts the atomic structures and they are changed again so that life begins to develop. Mind begins to become associated with physical substance, growing out of physical substance, very fundamental crude mind. There becomes a kind of shadowing of the physical atom with a living substance. Kind of like an invisible shadow to the atomic structure. This shadowing effect is due to the over-condensation of matter. This shadowing is microvita and it is the initial development of life force.

     Then, these atomic structures become shadowed so that there is one electron and there is a shadow to that electron. That shadow force is a life force and that life force becomes mind stuff. So there begins to be simple animals, one cell animals, an ameba, and they have a shadow. This shadow is rudimentary mind and it is developed from life force. Life force is the formative substance for the rudimentary mind. So mind can develop on the life force which is a kind of escaped consciousness from the over-crudified matter. So a new type of atomic structure develops, one which has this shadowing imagery with it. So it may appear the same as the old material substance but it is different. And if the instrumentation were more subtle, the difference could be measured, this shadowing of the atomic and of the molecular substance, this associated life force. In this life force grows unit mind and it becomes associated with physical structure.

     Now then, the carbonic structure dies but this shadow gains an independent existence. It may merge with another molecular shadow and they may come together to form a somewhat larger shadow and then again it will associate with physical atoms, physical molecules and utilize them and then grow again. It begins to weave its own patterns and then these atoms and molecules begin to weave in the pattern of that shadow. That shadow is life force and mind stuff and it is becoming more and more complex as the evolution continues. Like this it grows. But the initial point at which it is formed is when matter becomes most condensed. The condensation becomes so extreme that consciousness can no longer be sufficiently restricted and it comes out at an angle, forming the living substance and at that stage microvita are developed. They come from matter. Life comes from matter. Matter is the mother of life. Unit life, individualized mind grows out of matter.

     Now, Cosmic Mind has always existed and has gone through all of these transformations: they have all taken place within the Cosmic Mind and Cosmic Mind has followed the course of evolution allowing the gunas, through the influence of Prakriti, to change and change again its formation for the pleasure of the experience. Consciousness has allowed itself to be locked into expression and to be transformed and transformed through all of these stages. But when matter becomes so condensed, again, consciousness takes the turn into the introversial phase and at that very point, life is formed. Life, as it is known in the created universe. Microvita evolve from matter. They go through the introversial stages of evolution but the change is in the mind stuff. Life itself comes into existence at that fundamental stage. Then it carries the mental function. You know, it becomes the media for mind, unit mind: it is the media for unit mind. It is also the media for Cosmic Mind when Cosmic Mind is functioning in the introversial stage of evolution.

     In the extroversial stage, Cosmic Mind is identified with the five fundamental factors. In the introversial stage of evolution, Cosmic Mind and unit mind both travel on the media of microvita, of life. Living substance is the base material for mind stuff. But Cosmic Mind exists in many base materials: in solid factor, in liquid factor, in gaseous factor, in energy forms, Cosmic Mind exists. And in the introversial stage, it exists and is carried on the waves of microvita. So ideas are formed in the minds of living beings and Cosmic Mind also travels in the idea form. But this is in the introversial stage and uses the media of microvita which are ever being released from the solidified matter. So, you see, it goes round and round. The Cosmic Mind is transmuted through the influence of the gunas into the five fundamental factors and at the crudest point it is transmuted into life force and that life force develops a media upon which there is the development of mind stuff. And so unit minds grow and develop until they are prepared to dissolve again in the consciousness which is the base of this entire creation: it is the base of the liquid, the base of the solid, the base of the microvita, the base of life, the base of mind. Cosmic Mind travels on many media. All the media are contained within the Cosmic Mind. Cosmic mind is in the five fundamental factors as well as in the unit mind and in the life force itself. 

     When Cosmic Mind is traveling in the forms of ideas, it also utilizes the microvita which are produced from the condensed matter. It is kind of like a shadow on the atomic structure: a kind of released energy, if you will, like the heat is released when the log is burned. So microvita are released when the atom becomes condensed to a certain point. 

 

 Q: In that stage just before microvita are created, can it be said that there is a smallest physical particle, smaller than the electron and does this smallest particle correspond with the development of microvita?

 

     Microvita are of three types. As you know, one may be traced in the physical sphere. So, in this shadowing effect, it is comparable to this release of energy from matter but it is more subtle. If the instrumentation were sufficiently developed, one could see, in the physical stratum, a very subtle transformation. There is a kind of bleeding of the atom. It would appear as a kind of bleeding. There would be one electron and there would be a shadow, so delicate. But that shadow is, in fact, the bleeding of this life force, this very high frequency energy, It is like energy, high frequency. It becomes so high frequency that it is not even traceable in the physical realm. But at a certain transition stage, the most crude level of microvita is perceivable in the physical realm: like a shadow it can be perceived. There will be an electron and there will be a shadow electron. It will be very difficult to identify, to focus on because it is only partly physical. But this shadowing will be noted if the instrumentation is sufficiently developed. And it is this shadowing, this very subtle imagery which may be perceived. Its trace will be there and it will be controversial, is it physical or is it not physical? 

 

Q: When microvita are created, of the three types of microvita, are they always created as the physical type? Are the three types of microvita sequentially evolved?

 

     There is a loosening of the bonds of Prakriti. When the matter becomes so condensed, initially there is a release into the crudest stage of microvita development. But when this happens, within this shadow there is physical instability. So, it continues to unwind. It will continue unwinding, unwinding, and so it will become more and more subtle. When the matter reaches a certain stage, then, like an energy, it is released and creates a kind of shadow atom. And then that atom has a kind of  fundamental instability because the sentient principle is pulling on it. You see, the static principle has dominated; dominated to such an extent that there is a kind of internalized pressure within the physical structure causing this tangential release, like the heat is released form the log. When it is first released, it will have some physical properties, but, it is fundamentally unstable in the physical realm. At this point, there is the dominance of sattvaguna, and so the sentient principle, the life principle, is dominating. The life force is then pulled into more and more subtlety because it is evolving back into consciousness itself and it will move in that direction. So, before it will become consciousness, it will become mind stuff. It is the media of mind stuff. So, on the way to becoming consciousness, it will become mind stuff. It will become the formation of ideas. In that way, mind is developed.

 

Q: Does this mean that all matter in the universe that we perceive may in fact have this shadow or life force with it?

 

     Every atom is not developed sufficiently to develop this tangential bleeding. It must be condensed by the solid factor under the influence of tamaguna, dominated by static principle. There is a critical point beyond which condensation becomes the cause for reversal.

     Now, this is different from the formation of condensed matter in the collapsed star. In that case, the binding principle has been reinforced through successive collapses in the material structure to the point where the tangential dissipation cannot be affected and instead the energy is recondensed into matter again and again to the point where there is implosion of the material universe and then there is mass explosion. This is the result when this process of tangential release from material substance, which develops microvita, becomes impaired. Then there is collapse of the material universe and implosion and explosion. But as long as this tangential release is there, then the introversial and extroversial phases remain in balance and there is no implosion or explosion; there is balance within the manifest universe.

     So, the material universe must be maintained in a state of balance and this process of the development of life force from matter is a part and parcel of the balance between the different forces in the universe. If matter condenses beyond this critical point and there is no release of microvita, then the stability of the expressed universe is undone. And in that region, where the stability is undone, there will be this process of implosion and explosion and the recreation of the material universe from the released consciousness and mind stuff. Is it understood?
