How would you want to store and remember your past memories to be reviewed later? The movie "The Final Cut" touches on this subject. A company provides the technology for an implant that stores them. There are then professional "cutters" who cut and edit and keep the stories the family wants to see of their deceased loved one. Interesting right?
But would we really want the memories stored forever inside three important areas of the brain: the hippocampus, the neocortex, and the amygdala, or for that matter have implants? It is scary to live through some memories though we love to relinquish the good times with our dear ones. I guess forgetting is a blessing for some while remembering might be a blessing for others.
Just as our brains keep records of our lives happenings as memories, are all happenings in the world and the universe for that matter recorded somewhere? Like the personal computer, which uploads and stores memories in the form of pictures and videos in the cloud, are the memories in our brain, stored somewhere too, maybe the Akashic library? It seems so for the Siddhas seem to have access to this large bank of data and tend to reveal some to seekers of their Nadi from time to time. The guru reveals some more. It is said in meditation the rest is revealed. Would we want to know these?
Just as nature through floods and droughts, and man through war wipes out civilizations, the divine too is known to wipe out traces of civilizations, sacred texts, and even His footsteps for reasons only known to them. It is said that what remains of saint Arunagiri's "Thirupugazh" is only some 3000 songs while he had sung 16000 in numbers. It is said that the sea had swallowed many ancient and sacred works including this and many others too.
Time or Kala wipes out even our memories. But the saints could look out there and tell us things. They could go within and tell us things. They could look into the past and future besides revealing the present. Ramalinga Adigal speaks about numerous worlds. Agathiyar too lists these worlds as carried in Vashisht Vaid's blog at https://holysageagathiyar.com.
Vashisht Vaid writes,
"The Great Sage Agathiyar Further Explained to the Exalted Conscious Siddhars of the Tamil Sangam about these 28 celestial worlds [Antariksha Lokas Evam Talas] of Intellectual Activities, ...
He speaks of the "Highest Dimensional World of Truth [Satyam Loka] , ‘7 Higher Dimension Celestial Worlds’ [Saptha Urdhava Lokas], 4 Higher Dimensional Worlds [Chatur Urdhava Lokas], 3 Higher Dimensional Worlds [Tritya Ucchtam Koti Urdhava Lokas], 3 Lower Denser Material Worlds [Tritya Neechtam Koti Urdhava Lokas] etc.
"The Great Sage Agathiyar added, that the ‘Fiery Elemental Essences of Consciousness’ [Agni Chaitanyas] Formulate the Vital Ethereal Bodies [Pranmaya Kosha] by Carefully Following the ‘Filtered Energy Impulses’, which Gradually Come Down from the ‘Causal Body’ [Karanam Shreera] of the Gradually Evolving ‘Soul’ [Atama], who Always Stays Vitally Established in the Higher Dimensional World of ‘Sva Loka’, from where these Energy Impulses Originating from the Desiring Mind of Evolving ‘Soul’ [Atama] are Sent Downward in the Denser Dimensional Worlds, to Vitally Acquire Various Types of ‘Spiritual Experiences’, which First Existing as ‘Vital Thought Forms’ Gradually Proceed Downwards from the SOUL’S ESTABLISHED DOMAIN, Popularly Known Among ALL SEERS & SAGES as the ‘’SELF WORLD’’ [SVA LOKA, BRIAH, SVARGA] While Mounted upon the ‘Downward Arc of Spiral Motion’, thus Gradually Passing Downward through the Formulated Channel of ‘Vital Cord’ known in Sanskrit as the ‘Sutratama Naadi’, then Vitally Enter the Differentiated Conscious Levels of this First Dimensional Eye World, which Vitally Exist Invisibly just above the Denser Levels of the ‘Bhu Loka [Dense Physical World]."
"The Great Sage Agathiyar Further Explained the ‘Tamil Sangam’, about the Downward Sent ‘Energy Impulses of an Evolving Soul’, which EVOLUTIONARY SOUL, with a GREAT EAGERNESS to ACQUIRE SPIRITUAL RADIANCE Vitally Stays Stationed for a Long Time in the Dimensional Confinements of ‘Sva Loka’ till its Desired Liberation [Mukti] Happens, because all Types of ‘Spiritual Experiences’ of the First ‘Three Denser Dimensional Worlds’ [Triloka] out of the Group of 7 Higher Dimensional Worlds [Saptha Urdhava Lokas] are Direly Needed by an Evolving ‘Soul’ [Atama] to Attain Soul’s Desired Liberation [Mukti] from all the Anchoring Bondages of all the FIRST 3 Higher, but Factually the 3 Denser Worlds [Bhu, Bhava, and Sva Lokas, Collectively Termed by Exalted Conscious Seers and Sages as ‘Triloka’."
I have gone through Vashisht's blog numerous times but it is sheer mind boggling. I have yet to comprehend the entire contents. Then again Agathiyar is fond of asking of what use are some news to us? He only reveals what is required for us to know. Then again Agathiyar tells us we have to experience the divine in this very birth and in this world. It is only here that we can engage in the method and the means to know God and return to our source. I guess the subject of these other worlds will forever be a mystery to us since it was revealed to the sages and rishis at the Tamil Sangam and not for our consumption. The day we raise our standing to become at par with them only then shall we fully understand it.
