w-4day7

As fragile as a leaf can show its material nature that time may not erase. We may study the vegetation of some 66 million years old from fossilised leaves. The fossils are formed out of what minerals and the vegetation give to the soil. Time covers them in dust which when settled, and it is a continuous process, it is sediment and the minerals contribute its own to transform it into rocks.
Into this natural and continuous process a decomposing matter no more than a leaf leaves its impress. To cite another example polar caps may be drilled for samples and scientists are able to understand the atmospheric conditions prevailed at the time corresponding to the sample under study.
Every give and take transacted in a material universe, at any point of time and place is part of Oneness: the key to mysteries of our universe. Howeversomuch complex it may be, our mind has encoded it and we experience it in the way we can benefit from. In terms of time and context.
Doesn’t our instinct illustrate the above? Every little ‘flight or flee’ question that our ancestors faced in the savannah has been compressed and stored in our mind: what we experience as adrenalin rush is a pointer to this fact. Only that we see now no open places to rush to when talk goes around at our workplace about redundancy. Instead to a shrink, perhaps.
Tailpiece: For this reason I attach no importance to Prior-Life memories narrated by some child as anything more than a curiosity. Little details of those who thus are brought to surface may be verifiable. But is it paranormal? No, I doubt it. It is no more unique than carrying forward some melody you have never before heard. From so many repeated patterns in a melody, though I cannot read a single note, my ear has caught on. I may hum it in the way it should go. That is how our mind works.
