Your brain is morphing the Reality!

I was studying a YouTube presentation. So beautifully they have presented how every bit of information is held by a neuron in your brain. It means, however many billions of stars there are, that many billions of neurons there are in you. Your brain can store even more information than the amount of information in the world's largest library.
When I study some of these sutras and consciously scan myself, I can see very clearly, a certain part of the brain is getting activated and that effect is happening in my system. It is so beautiful to see that process scientifically recorded. Every bit of information is held by a neuron in your brain. When I was watching that presentation, I could see very clearly how drishti shrishti, the truth of experiencing the cosmos as you want, is connected to this great scientific understanding and these research studies.
The cosmos is reality and the brain is the experience of the reality. Any change or purification in pindanda, the brain, makes you experience the brahmanda, pure cosmos. Sometimes, parts of your brain label certain experiences as unwanted, as a wound, or as pain. Then that part is forcibly, purposely, dumped into the un-retrievable archives section, by your own decision - because you connect that with a suffering or a wound. When you dump it, you don't just dump only that particular piece of information, but all the information related to that particular experience.
Anybody who has suffered because of having to memorize from the textbook for an examination, forgets the whole subject within six months. The more stress you experience during exams, the more quickly you forget the subject. You may now remember only what you are using every day, but nothing more than that, because so much suffering has been associated with the exam. The studying which is done for exams, makes you hate that whole process. So you dump the whole thing into the un-retrievable archives.
So the game goes on between the un-retrievable archives and the constantly enjoyed memories. The constantly cherished memories are fantasy and greed. Information dumped into the un-retrievable archives is fear. Unfortunately, when you dump something forcibly into the un-retrievable archives, some part of your brain gets the fear that it may come up by itself. That fear itself constantly reminds and pushes that material to the surface again and again. This creates a self-contradicting experience, the inner conflict between dumping an information into the un-retrievable archives, and the fear that it may surface by itself for some reason.
So now there are three factors:
- Fantasy, and the fear that the fantasy may take over.
- The un-retrievable archives where the painful memories are dumped, and the fear that it may surface by itself.
- Importantly, the inner conflict between these experiences.
This is the mirror on which the cosmos is reflecting in your system.
That is why I say: whatever you see or whatever you hear, do not believe it. The video and the scenes which are shown to you have been created inside your brain. So much of morphing is happening inside your brain! The misrepresentation, manipulation and morphing done inside your brain is what I call Maya. These three Ms create the fourth M: the Maya problem.
Let me come to the solution.
If the brahmanda (macrocosm) reflects on the pindanda (microcosm) as it is, it is enlightenment. That is what I call an incarnation: embodiment of Cosmos.
You don't need to be born as an incarnation. You can just explode and experience your avatarhood, incarnationhood, any moment you decide. If the macrocosm reflects on microcosm without manipulation, misrepresentation and morphing, you are an incarnation.
When the three Ms of misrepresentation, manipulation and morphing happen in your brain, you are caught in the big M: Maya. How to stop these three Ms from happening in the system? What is the solution for the fourth M? The solution is the ultimate M: meditation.
One technique for the fifth M is nothing but just intense humming: Mahamantra technique. The Mahamantra puts all the neurons in such restful awareness that morphing, misrepresentation, and manipulation just stops, at least for a few seconds, and the macrocosm reflects on the microcosm as it is.
