________________ Consciousness Force could contact with and make an impact upon pure receptive conscious force elsewhere, the distance does not matter at all, quicker than upon the consciousness involved deep down in the inert matter. Perhaps on scale of the universe, to day paradoxically, the consciousness is more involved deep down in the inert matter than what it was 2,500 years ago. Inspite of its recognition as such by the elite among scientists, to wit, "a change in the spin of particle affects the spin of another simultaneously even if the particles are widely separated, "there is too much of it involved in the matter of the universe making the impact almost imperceptible, frustrating. E is equal to Mc2 and perhaps the Energy is converting itself into Mass more than the Mass converting itself into Energy. This is however, no cause for alarm. Slowly but surely, the Consciousness is extending and as I said earlier, the day is now not too far when the Mass will explode and crumble creating the flash of conscious supramental Light visible and permanent. "The mystics of the world at present. as always seek to attain cosmic consciousness i.e. to be one with the Absolute. This is not merely a realization of the totality of things but rather the union with the very essence out of which the myriad forms emerge. The forms include the plenum of worlds such as even galaxies, stars and planets. To the mystics, cosmic consciousness is the human consciousness of the primary consciousness of the cosmos i.e. the sensitivity and realization that the cosmic has of its own being. The oneness of the cosmic would mean in effect that there would be no interval of space anywhere. The cosmos in its consciousness in its primary essence is not measurable in points of distance. It is the same everywhere. There is no space or time factor involved. Any being having conscious attunement with this sea of universal consciousness would have an awareness of its oneness and of any other consciousness which is likewise so attuned. 60
