Shrii P. R. Sarkar
in 1986 described the smallest unit of life as microvitum. He
divided them into 3 types: the crude, the subtle and subtlest.
Furthermore, functionally microvita (MV) can be regarded as positive,
neutral or negative. One may be able to see the crude MV with the aid
of a sophisticated microscope which perhaps is not yet been invented.
The MV is said to be smaller than the electron or it is placed between
the electron and the ectoplasmic unit.
It has a body (in theory) and a mind as well. The latter would
imply that it is connected with consciousness or the reflection of it
in the mental plate. Therefore,
microvitum can be assumed to be a unit of life.
We may be living in an ocean of MV which not only exists
outside of us but also within us and everywhere in the cosmos. It may
be existing dormant (billions of them forming the core of the atom) as
matter, and as free entities, going through birth, evolutionary growth
and death. There may be turn over of the dormant MV into free living
forms, and vice versa; since the atoms and molecules of living cells
and matter are in constant flux. The material base of human body for
example is said to be completely replaced in matter of few months.
The crude MV may be existing in the time-space dimensions of
the material plane as well as stretching into the transcendental
plane, with velocity greater than the speed of light. Shrii Sarkar stated that the presence of subtle MV can be felt
indirectly by their action but not directly objectified.
MV
are said to be emanations of cosmic mind.
Since
cosmic mind is all pervading presence, connected with or at the back
of deeper layers of mind (ectoplasm), the emanation of MV may occur
from cellular mind and the unit mind .
Are they also produced from the matter such as rock, since
cosmic mind and consciousness are intrinsic to everything? If so, is
the creation of MV original or simply turn over ( release) from the
atomic core? Somewhere, it was stated that clouds or swarms of
essence (mv), as it were appear to come out or go into the
rock, as if the rock is inhaling and exhaling them!
Focusing
on subtle MV, Shrii Sarkar described
the
7 types or categories of Devayonis : Yaksha, Gandharva, Kinnara,
Prakritiliina, Videhaliina, Vidyadhara and Siddha. Perhaps there are
numerous subtypes.
In
Indian mythology and vedic literature
330 million Devas were said to exist.
Hindu
and Buddhist literature refer to Devas, some of them worshipped in the
temples with elaborate rituals, usually for guidance and protection.
In
European legends Elves,
Jinn, Sylphs, Fairies, Angels etc were mentioned
Angeles
existed in the old Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian literature
Old
testament and the new testaments have detailed description of Angels,
both good and bad. So also, the Islamic religions have their own.
Christianity
refers to angels as thought forms of God. Medieval paintings show them
as physical beings- in human form, usually with wings.
Dionysus described 9 ranks of angels such as archangels,
Thrones, Dominations, princedoms, powers, seraphim, and the cherubim
(babies with wings, in the paintings)- higher rank.
The 7 archangels described as “lamps of fire burning before
the throne of God” (example: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael)
According
to Shrii Sarkar, crude MV forms the basis of matter, although it is
between matter and the abstract,
Whereas
subtle MV, which cannot be objectively studied or known, is not in the
material realm, it is not bound by time –space dimensions of this
universe, but it is part of the multi-verse or multidimensional
existence, which is transcendental for human experience. When mass of
subtle MV come together in an organized way to form purposeful defined
entities, perhaps they are called Devayoniis. They do not have liquid
or solid factor, therefore they are invisible to human eyes. However,
it seems that their presence can be felt, and the effects they cause
can be felt or experienced by humans.
It
seems they have the power to appear in forms (to humans), also create
or accompany subtle music, effulgence, fragrance, feelings of awe and
devotion etc in human terms.
Subtle
MV travel faster than light, cross all barriers known to us, they move
with the thought wave, using the latter as medium. Therefore, they can
instantly move an idea to any part of the earth or the cosmos.
In theosophist
literature, MV is referred to as “ elemental essence”, for example
it is stated that “astral elemental essence is crude and is
connected with the body and its evolution, and mental elemental
essence with its many gradations plays an evolutionary role. Both are
derived from the second outpouring of Deity during the outward arc of
creation”. They draw
distinction between particles of mental body (ectoplasm) and mental
elemental essence, although both are intimately related.
“
A thought-form is a temporary living entity of intense activity
animated by the one idea that generated it. The elemental essence is a
strange semi-intelligent
life which surrounds us, vivifying matter of the mental plane. It
responds readily to the influence of human thought so that every
impulse sent out from the mental body of a man immediately clothes
itself in a temporary vehicle of this essence”.
Jane
Roberts in her book
“ The Seth material” stated that
electromagnetic (EM) units were the basic carriers of perception, they
were freewheeling, pulsating, can
be used in normal perception or extra sensory perception, they used
space to move through, they were the animations rising from
consciousness within each physical particle or molecular
consciousness, cellular consciousness as well as larger gestalts of
consciousness. Certain intensities, emotional energy and certain
positions of polarity between and among the EM units, and great
groupings of the units compress energy into solid form, resulting in
matter. The energy points in the units were basically indestructible.
The inner ego (Mahat-tattva?) organizes, initiates, projects and
controls EM units, transforming into objects, into matter. So a person
established in the Mahat-tattva level can create matter by directing
or controlling the MV. Medieval
occultists categorized invisible beings into 4 groups:
Angels
Fallen
angels
Souls
of the dead
Elemental
spirits such as elves
The
last category of entities have been utilized for a long time in
primitive cultures everywhere, for treating diseases, guidance in
certain matters and for protection etc. Various names are given to
these entities. For example in one district in south India, they are
worshipped like village deities, named:
Bobbarya, Jumathee, Kallukutiga, Panjurlie, Annappa etc.
Shrii
Sarkar briefly mentioned about ghosts, Yakshiini, and other phenomenon
that was connected with the power of the mind playing tricks on human
perception. The vivid
stories in Shabda Cayanika’ brought
to light the history and politics of the land
through conversations
with entities, perhaps were the departed souls. The description of
Khapurusha or the heavenly effulgence, represented Siddha MV and
similar manifestations perhaps were experienced by the
shepherds in Fatima, and
other visions of shining being (Joseph Smith) or burning bush( Moses).
It appears that the effulgent beings or Siddha MV may be experienced
variously as per the individual samskaras, religion and belief. In
Europe some apparitions of effulgence were interpreted as the
appearance of Mary, mother of Christ.
Other
phenomenon such crop circles, automatic writings, UFO are not
adequately explained. The UFO phenomenon may be related to MV entities
of higher orders guiding and influencing human evolution on earth. The
phenomenon may be distortion of perceptions( as per the archetypal
memories in the collective unconscious) by the appearances or
transmissions of the spiritual world or invisible world into the
space-time dimension.
