By and large, human beings live in the world of physical body, desires and thoughts consciousness. But these three planes of consciousness do not consume the entire spectrum of Consciousness. There are many more planes of Consciousness existing in Nature of which human beings, in general, have no inkling. Human race is marching towards evolving a suitable instrument that would enable the race in gradual and individuals to collective manner to manifest a plane of consciousness that is higher than that of thoughts. Rapid development of science, and that means man's Mind, is going to make it happen. Though this conscious evolution of Mind has become perceptibly fast in recent decades, it is likely to take its time that may run into not decades but centuries, if not more. What would that instrument be like? How would it differ from Mind and mind's reason? We should leave these questions to the future to answer. But whatever this new intrument be like, one thing is certain of it. This instrument would be evolved directly under the influence and guidance of Heart. It would chanelise the Light of Heart in a manner that is better than Mind. It would shine with this Light of Heart in a better way than Mind is capable. It would be more efficient than Mind in manifesting this Light of Heart. It would distort this Light in the process of downward percolation and manifestation less than Mind does. What is this Light of Heart?
As we said, it is not the consciousness of physical body, desires and thoughts alone that exist in universal existence. Beyond the body, desires and thoughts consciousness, deep within Heart - the sanctum sanctorium of our total existence - there exists a Light. This Heart in not the biolological heart within our body; it is a dimension of Consciousness that seems to coincide with the biological heart; that is all and nothing more.
What are the characterstics of this Light of Heart? What is the 'scientific' proof that this Light does exist? We shall deal with the nature of 'scientific' verification of truth later on. Let us deal first with the characterstics of the Light of Heart.
We are not aware of the existence – the presence – of this Light of Heart as we are aware of the existence or presence of our thoughts, desires and body feelings. We human beings become aware of the existence of this Light either through the outcome of life evolution in the general manner or by artificial means. It takes millions of earthly years for primary organisms – like microbes – to evolve on the ladder of consciousness and become aware of the presence of this Light. For human beings, it takes thousands of years to evolve and become in general way aware of the existence of this Light. Generally, in the case of human beings this long span of time - of thousands of years - is spread through many terms – cycles of births - of recycling of constituents of individual’s consciousness. However, by artificial means, this long span can be shortened to a few scores of lives, or to several decades in one single life, or even still shorter. It all depends on the firm resolve and determination of the individual concerned and the design of the scheme of things that makes this resolve of the individual concerned possible.
This Light of Heart is conscious and we are conscious of our thoughts only because this Light percolates down to our Mind. We are aware and conscious of the existence of our desires only because this Light further percolates down to our lower existence. And, likewise, we are aware of the sensual feelings of our physical body only because this Light percolates still further down to that gross level. This process of percolation may be seen from another angle also. We can equally say that a living physical body of any animal – and, all life from primary organisms to animals – is aware of the existence of body feelings because this Light has originated and manifested in that body. Further on the path of evolution, higher animals become aware of the presence of desires because this Light has ascended to a higher level of consciousness. Also, likewise, this Light further ascends in the evolutionary course of life and we become aware of our thoughts. We become human beings with Mind. At the dimension of consciousness, Mind’s concepts of ascending and descending – up and down – have no application. Otherwise also, these concepts are of relative nature.
Mind – with its accompaniments of thoughts and reason – is less opaque an instrument to this Light of Heart than desires. Still, this instrument distorts this percolating Light considerably. It is possible for nature to evolve and produce an instrument that may be less opaque to the descending (or, ascending) Light than Mind. The evolutionary agenda of mankind at the present juncture is to help evolve such an instrument without man-made cultural obstructions. It is in the interest of marching mankind to help evolve such an instrument – an instrument that would be less opaque and less distorting to this Light than Mind – rapidly. This conscious effort on the part of mankind may shorten the natural evolutionary period of thousands of years into few centuries, and even few decades running into a century or two. It depends on the conscious choice of mankind and willingness to remove hurdles that oppose higher ascent and promote downward slide of consciousness.
Further, the fountain of all our pleasure, happiness and contentment that we derive from the satisfaction of our sensual feelings, the fulfillment of our desires and the justification of our reason is this Light of Heart. And, it is not the consciousness alone that percolates down to these instruments of thoughts, desires and sensual feelings from this Light; there is the Bliss also percolating down along with the consciousness. However, down this percolating stream, the receiving instrument of thoughts – Mind – distorts this Bliss. There this pure Bliss is tempered by reason in the receiving instrument and adulterated in content. Further down the stream, this adulterated Bliss on being received by the lower instrument of desires is polluted. Still further on descending to the still lower instrument of body feelings, this Bliss – which is already polluted beyond recognition – is further distorted and turned into a gross and ugly sensual pleasure. There at this lowest level we still find traces of Bliss in our gross enjoyment.
The Bliss of Heart is in human parlance happiness par excellence that human being can ever conceive of. And, this dimension of the Light of Heart – Bliss – is the single source of all good feeling that we derive from love, kindness, truth, morality etc. We take the side of truth, reason, justice etc. only because there is this Bliss of Light in our Heart, which is being received by our Mind. We love others and are kind to them only because this Light with Bliss is present there in our Heart and being received by the instrument of our desires. Likewise, also we observe morality voluntarily even to our own detriment and against the dictates of reason of our Mind only because this Heart’s blissful Light is cascading down into our lower instrument of gross feelings.
And, further this blissful Light is the only ‘realty’ in true sense. In human parlance, it is the ultimate realty present eternally in the dimension of time, existing in the dimension of space and living in the dimension of consciousness. The Existence of this Bliss since Eternity alone has made it possible for Matter to exist in space, for Time to flow and for Consciousness to evolve – evolve into matter, life, animals, man and further.

The proof that this exists is the Chitta Nadi which is the "electrical" connection in the body's invisible force field matrix in the casual? (or astral, no) casual body between the Head(mind) and heart. The main point being that for every material manifestation there is an anti material one to balance it, and you are saying that it is this invisible heart which has the light, but we need the mind (a head) to perceive it while conscious in the material world? And this at 9.30 am . . .
Really Great stuff here, thanks
