Atoms and Microvita

April 6, 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.
