“One cannot too soon forget his errors and misdemeanors. To dwell long upon them is to add to the offense. Repentance and sorrow can only be displaced by something better, which is as free and original as if they had not been.”

“When this Susumna current opens, and thought begins to rise through it, we get beyond the senses, our minds become supersensuous, superconscious, we get beyond even the intellect, and where reasoning cannot reach. To open that Susumna is the prime object of the Yogi.” . #SwamiVivekananda #RajaYoga

Brain processes operate on 11 dimensions.

On June 12, 2017 a research team studying the complex networks involved in information processing, revealed that the processes involved in the creation of neural structures are built on multiverse-like structures. Using algebraic topology, they “zoomed” into the neural networks of the brain, finding hidden structures of the neurons. When they are presented with a stimulus, groups of neurons form a clique, each individual neuron connecting via a specific configuration, forming a precise geometric object. And the more neurons clique, the higher the dimensions.

“The appearance of high-dimensional cavities when the brain is processing information means that the neurons in the network react to stimuli in an extremely organized manner.

It is as if the brain reacts to a stimulus by building then razing a tower of multi-dimensional blocks, starting with rods (1D), then planks (2D), then cubes (3D), and then more complex geometries with 4D, 5D, etc. The progression of activity through the brain resembles a multi-dimensional sandcastle that materializes out of the sand and then disintegrates”

- Ran Levi. of the researchers

“We found a world that we had never imagined. There are tens of millions of these objects even in a small speck of the brain, up through seven dimensions. In some networks, we even found structures with up to eleven dimensions.”

Having trouble picturing those 11 dimensions, aren’t you?

The young person should be taught to regard himself as a failed work of nature but at the same time as a witness to the grandiose and mar- vellous intention of this artist. … By coming to this resolve he places himself within the circle of culture; for culture is the child of each individual’s self-knowledge and dissatisfaction with himself. Anyone who believes in culture is thereby saying: ‘I see above me something higher and more human than I am; let everyone help me to attain it, as I will help everyone who knows and suffers as I do.’
