Hi Friends,
Welcome again to my Abode!
Certain fields of study, particularly the sciences and mathematics, require formal education. Of particular fascination to us is the mathematical genius often referred to as the Einstein of his discipline: Srinivas Ramanujam. Despite the impression of mystery and apprehension many associate with mathematics, Ramanujam revolutionized some areas of the subject and his contributions are widely regarded as preeminent.
Srinivas Ramanujam, fondly known as ‘The Man Who Knew Infinity’ by his peers, was able to demonstrate the comprehensibility of infinity. He achieved this by proving that the sum of all whole numbers from 1 to infinity is -1/12, a concept that may appear unbelievable. However, it is important to note that Ramanujam employed certain liberties in the process of this proof, including using infinity in equations. For those not familiar with mathematical equations, it is strictly forbidden to use undefined numbers in equations, and infinity falls into that category.
Despite lacking formal education, he left a lasting impact by introducing groundbreaking theories and equations that continue to be applied in fields such as physics, computer science, and cryptography, long after his passing over a century ago. He grew up in a small Indian town, where he demonstrated remarkable mathematical skills from a young age and created his own rules. His contributions served as the foundation for vital developments. He attributed his knowledge to a deity that would appear in his dreams and guide him to equations. In his own words, “Once, while I was sleeping, a unique incident occurred. I saw a red screen with flowing blood, and upon observing it, a hand began to write on it. I was captivated, and the hand wrote several equations in elliptic integrals that stuck with me. As soon as I woke up, I wrote them down.”
Witnessing this vision was just one in a series that inspired him to make exceptional contributions to various aspects of mathematics. It reminds me of another remarkable moment in history – when physicist Niels Bohr discovered the empirical concept of the structure of the atom. His dream, where he saw the sun surrounded by all the revolving planets, sparked the idea of what the atom’s structure might look like and revolutionized the scientific world.
As previously stated, ‘messages’ are often received through dreams, sudden insights, and symbolic or direct means – as was the case for world-renowned painter Akiane Kramarik. Often referred to as the Picasso of modern times, Akiane is an exceptional artist who began painting at the impressive age of six. Despite her lack of formal training, her creations are captivating, boasting intricate details and vibrant colours.
When seeing Akiane’s paintings even on YouTube, one cannot help but feel mesmerized by their liveliness, as if they are speaking directly to the viewer. The pieces are breathtaking beauties, truly remarkable to behold. Akiane attributes her inspiration to a vision from God, who commanded her to paint when she was just six years old. This divine inspiration has continued to guide her through the creation of those marvellous pieces of art.
To call Akiane precocious would not be sufficient to explain the source of her inspiration. She states that specific subjects and detailed visions come to her through her divine ‘connection’, which is evident in her paintings. The undeniable reflection of the divine through her work is a testament to her unique vision and exceptional talent.
The topic of ‘Talent’ will revisit these two examples later on. However, for the time being, these instances of globally renowned figures, one of whom was strictly logical and rational, demonstrate that people do receive ‘messages’ despite doubts from sceptics. Despite lacking formal education and training, both individuals assert that they were ‘guided’ and received repeated ‘messages’ that enabled them to perform at a level achieved only by a few.
After hearing about these exalted souls and coming to know of their superlative achievements can we ignore the fact that they were inspired and guided by “messages”? Can we ignore the fact that people do get “messages”?
Many people receive ‘messages’ they don’t understand and so choose to ignore, dismissing them as mere figments of their imagination and hence never accept their possibility of being real. But the fact is many people are blessed with messages and don’t let them out, out of their ignorance or fear of being branded as lunatics.
But… the fact remains that WE do get messages.
What is the point of discussing this topic of ‘messages’?
According to the principle of causality, every event must have a preceding cause. This scientific rule is based on pure logic and applies to all phenomena, from objects being placed or thrown by someone to the growth of trees and the wet ground all around suggesting occurrence of rain. Similarly, if humans are receiving ‘messages’, there must be a connection and there must be a source from which they originate. Just as every effect has a cause, every ‘message’ must have a ‘connection’ and source from which it is transmitted. The question remains: can ‘messages’ exist without a ‘connection’ and source?
No way!
We must now determine which ‘source’ we are referring to and how we are connected to it. The significance of the source lies in its critical ‘connection’, and therefore the foundation of my thesis hinges on its identification. However, why does this ‘connection’ hold such great importance? In due course you will realise it is not only essential but also enormous in scale. Humans receive ‘messages’ and intuitions constantly, and a ‘connection’ is necessary to receive them. This ‘connection’ is not only required for our intuitions but also for our consciousness, our conscience, and ultimately, our life, death, and rebirth. As we delve further into this subject, we will see how vital this ‘connection’ is and how critically important is the source.
Signing off.
