Time, it maybe quite easily
construed is at the heart of every image’s power and longevity. It has,
therefore, invaded our lives and consciousness. Why? Because it supplies
us with the energy that runs our human machine. It is also the basis of
our existence. Which is one reason why we live with images of everything
we see, recognize, perceive, and dwell with. They are, in other words,
images of the mind.
Images of the mind are highly charged with microvita [singular:
microvitum] — a perceivable alchemy that shapes our aspirations and
realities. A concept developed by philosopher P R Sarkar, microvita are
basically the building blocks of the universe. They are much, much smaller
than atoms — and, they act as a bridge between consciousness and matter.
They are also entities that come from within the realms of both physical
and psychic expressions. In the psychical domain, they maybe subtler than
mind-stuff. Sarkar envisions that they will soon be recognized by
conventional science.
According to Sarkar, the root cause of this universe, and the starting
point of life, or vitality, are microvita. They are the carriers of life
in different stars, planets and satellites; they are not carbon atoms, or
carbon molecules. They are living creatures with their mysterious
movements. They create minds and bodies; and, living bodies in different
celestial bodies. Besides, they also ‘atomise’ minds and physical bodies,
or developed or undeveloped corpor, in any corner of our universe. In his
words: "The basic cause of life is not the unicellular protozoa, or the
unit protoplasmic cell, but microvitum."
Microvita, avers Sarkar, maybe broadly divided into three categories —
first, those coming from within the scope of a microscope. Second, those
not coming from within the scope of perception, but from the range of
perception, as a result of their expression, or actional vibration; and
lastly, those not coming within the scope of common perception, but inside
a special type of perception, which is actually the reflection of
conception within the periphery of perception. Such perception — that
special type of cognition — Sarkar further explains, maybe felt, or
realized, by persons having highly developed minds, or a veritable
spiritual orientation.
Sarkar’s microvitum developed
as his frame of reference to Tantra. It affirms social structures as
collective plexii, or chakras, that could be influenced by positive and
negative microvita, just as much as the physical plexii, or chakras,
within us. In so doing, Sarkar equates the human body to an ancient,
powerful metaphor — a change from an organic perspective rather than a
managerial complex.
At the same time, collective plexii, according to Sarkar, are any grouping
of people: the family, school, workplace, office, corporation, locality,
state, religion, nation, etc., It also defines social structures in terms
of consciousness — as opposed to the features they mirror. Composite —
nay, simple! Here’s why:
We are in a giant squeeze,
today: a struggle to shape the future. There are heroes and villains.
Besides, the two roles are cast so that truth and honor emerge for those
who wish to know what-is-as-it-is. Inference? The basic premise of
microvita for social change is, therefore, enormous. It is also
apparent, because people who desire to change are empowered with the
skills to effect change — from within.
If only every individual could
transform his/her small area of existence, even slightly, we would all be,
in word and deed, helping in the overall shift towards a more equitable
and safer future — for ourselves, and our children.
