| Creating a touch-based illusion | | 2008-07-17 20:53:08 | | Anyone who has seen an optical illusion can recall the quirky moment when you realize that the image being perceived is different from objective reality.

However, truth, soul, God, and spiritual masters are beyond the realms of duality. This is the highest state of consciousness. Self-Realization and Enlightenment go beyond positive and negative.What happens when one goes beyond positive and negative?Going beyond positive and negative is not an easy thing to do. This can only happen when a soul (a person) is in constant meditative state, where nothing affects him. In everything he does he is in meditation. This soul has crossed the positive and the negative that are the two sides of the same coin.Krishna had two wives. The two wives wanted to visit an enlightened master. There was a river in their path so they asked Krishna if he could do something so they could cross the river. He told them to take food to the master and when they neared the bank of the river to ask, "If this master never ate in his life give us a path." So they went and did as they were told.

A girl spinning clockwise? Right? No, you're wrong! She's spinning anti clockwise. Okay, thats not a perfect answer. She spins wherever you want her to.Try this. Focus on her shadow/reflection below her. Now picture her spinning the other way. Opposite of what you're seeing now. Can you see her spinning a different direction? How long does it take you to see it? Gosh, I'm going nuts.If anybody knows the mechanics behind this, do let me know. I'm getting some rest.
