Sometimes knowledge, especially mystical and metaphysical knowledge, cannot be derived through objective and verifiable process. Hence there arises natural or self-evident similarities or analogies to prove and justify its comprehension and that further rationalizes the existence of a phenomenon in its physical form or otherwise, precisely in its microscopic or spiritual form. What exactly is energy and what are its physical and spiritual connotations? Is it a vibration to speak in a correct sense of the term? Because vibration in itself is the motion of energy-particles in the form of energy packets – as propounded in terms of recent theories in the discipline of Physics regarding movement of energy – manifesting dynamism.

Further, a well observed fact in this discipline is accepted by most of the physicists that the energy is both static as well as dynamic. And the dynamic aspect of the energy stands for power or dynamism or motion and the static one stands for the condensed power consolidated as energy in a body mass, capable enough to move forward by the help of some external force. As propounded therein, the static part usually never attracts our attention just because being stationary in its nature and content.

As the power stored in the form of an electrical charge in a battery or in a power house of the Power Corporation is static, until the power as the electrical charge starts flowing through electrical supply lines or transmission cables for consumption. Now the question that emerges here is whether the energy is related to consciousness or not, especially because consciousness is the very life force and that essentially is dynamic while in action. And otherwise when stored in a physical body, it is static, yet it essentially vibrates due to its fundamental nature. Evidently, like any particle in a matter or like any electrical charge, it has its nucleus consisting of proton and neutron and with electron revolving around the nucleus. Thus if the consciousness is the very life force in a human being, it is inevitably so because it (consciousness) itself vibrates to create motion and that that leads to coming up of ideas and consequent human actions thereafter. This proposition brings us closer to another still unexplained mystery which is soul and mind. Whether both soul and mind are same, as that may be found in ancient Greek tradition, or are different that we find in the ancient Hindu religious tradition or elsewhere is a big question to answer both empirically as well as logically. Of course, as mind is housed in a brain so is a soul residing in a living body. Yet whatever knowledge we have acquired today indicates that both are a kind of energy or life force which sustains both a living body as well as a live brain.

Because the moment the soul departs from a living body, the body becomes motionless and dead.  Similarly, if the mind is lost or is not present in a brain, it becomes just a waste computer hardware devoid of its operating force known as the computer software. Thus both consciousness on the one hand and mind and soul on the other draw a certain parallel between energy and consciousness reflecting the much discussed self-sustaining force which, as obvious, is the result of vibration.

This submission obviously leads to another probable proposition that the greater the vibration, the higher or better is the form of life. And if it is magnified or enlarged to infinity then that may possibly lead to the Best or Perfect Life – omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent – which may be not be else other than the Almighty God. The Indian mythology describes about the God, inter-alia, in the following words: kartum, arkutukm, anyatha kartum. That is He (God) can do anything, can undo the already done or do the different.

Evidently this narration points towards an unimaginable, all-capable and all extensive force or energy or consciousness or supreme consciousness which a well-known German Philosopher Hegel termed as the Geist which is often translated as spirit, but also encompasses mind or intellect. And this, according to him, is Supreme Rationality or ultimately God while undergoing long and arduous process of evolution through history, culture and institutions in a society to lead to a perfect state or the political society devoid of all forms of dissensions, conflicts and contradictions, thus reflecting universal consciousness. Is there any limit to the universal consciousness? This is why Hegel concluded that “State is the march of God upon Earth.” This is the end of evolution. But a question here arises: Can the end of evolution mark the end of universe?

To answer this question is very difficult as it is almost impossible today to determine the expanse or depth or other dimensions of the universe whatever it or they may be. To ask in the other way: is the universe confined to the three D-world? But is it correct to see the universe confined to the three D-world. No, it is not so. As we know that the three D-world in the universe is subject to the time and space configuration. In fact, these two factors are perhaps the possible outcome of the celestial dynamics or astrological movements of planets and other celestial bodies wherein their revolution around Sun and rotation on their respective axis possibly leads towards evolution of gravitational force in and around these planetary bodies. And the cumulative effect of the gravitational force of these planetary bodies with respect to Sun inter-alia possibly results into evolving the context of time and space. Life as we know it is inextricably linked to the sun’s radiant energy, suggesting a cosmic principle that may extend to other planets. The rotation and revolution of celestial bodies, propelled by internal and external thermal dynamics, are the universe’s way of weaving the fabric of time and space—a fabric that is both the stage and the story of existence. The physical forces that shape our solar dance, predominantly gravity, prompt us to contemplate the nature of celestial mechanics. The historical shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric worldview heralded a revolution in thought, revealing a universe in perpetual motion. At its heart, the sun—a colossal fusion reactor, a maelstrom of nuclear forces—shapes the cosmic architecture, driving the movement of planets and the distribution of energy across the solar system.

Nonetheless, the world is much more vast and its expanse is unimaginable to include universe and cosmos together. However time, that relentless tide, flows in one direction, a principle as unyielding as the laws of physics. Unlike a machine, which we can reset to an earlier state, time forges ahead, indifferent to human preference. This constant progression begs the question of the universe’s own vitality: does it, too, have a lifespan against the endless stretch of the cosmos? Absent these dimensions, the cosmos might dissolve into disorder, hypothetical chaos beyond the grasp of our mental constructs. The universe’s enormity defies imagination, a space so vast that even our most sacred texts and cutting-edge sciences only begin to sketch its outline. Within its expanse lie galaxies, each a repository of countless stars and mysteries, forming a backdrop that positions Earth as a mere speck among celestial wonders.

Obviously the humanity stands today perpetually at the frontier of understanding, facing the vastness of the cosmos with awe and inquiry. The dimensions of time and space serve as the canvas upon which our universe is painted, yet their boundless nature raises profound questions. If indeed limitless, the pursuit to transcend them is rendered a philosophical exercise, for it is time and space that anchor our reality, demarcating the lifespan of beings and the reach of matter, crafting the essence of consciousness itself. Further the pursuit of knowledge about the universe, despite the valiant efforts of global scientists, remains a journey with more questions than answers. Although many space missions spearheaded by nations across the globe have cast light on previously obscured corners, but vast reaches remain untouched by empirical understanding. The enigmatic nature of the cosmos thus compels us to turn to philosophy and metaphysics, seeking to unravel the truths of time and space through contemplation.

Thus, in this celestial narrative, the distinction between ‘universe’ and ‘cosmos’ is more than semantic. The cosmos is an intricate, orderly system, governed by natural laws; the universe encompasses all—including time, space, and the material continuum. This delineation, while helpful, does little to demystify the overarching enigma of our place in the cosmos, leaving us to ponder the ultimate nature of reality. Whether or not the expanse of the universe goes beyond time and space. Because these two factors – time and space – create a dimension or a kind of boundary whereof going beyond is a critical issue to comprehend and address. Earlier scientists like Einstein and recently Stefan Hawkins inter-alia other had made efforts to conceptualize a forward course to accomplish this goal. If this is so then energy is vibration and the same the other one is. Indeed, each and every particle in the universe vibrates to its core to reflect its essential purpose behind its existence as its raison d’eter. It is just as a small seed has within it the capacity or power or life force to sprout to grow as a long or huge tree that Aristotle propounded in the ancient Greece.

Another question that arises as regards energy and vibration is as regards salvation. In fact, the energy and vibration are largely considered to be synonymous although there may be apparent exceptions. Because the culmination of energy and so appears to be that the vibration may push one to the ultimate divinity most like as salvation, as explored by most of the sages and seers and the other chosen blessed both in India and in the West. Evidently Prince Siddhartha turned to be God Buddha most possibly due to a perfect alignment of his soul- energy and vibration to culminate to the apex or supreme to attain divinity or the Godhood. Perhaps in the same way, the Caliphate in the ancient Egypt had also elevated to the supreme level to accomplish an unparalleled divinity though the practiced rituals might have been different due to difference in rituals, religious rites, and culture. As it looks more appropriate, Jesus Christ also rose to this supreme level of divinity where in His energy and vibration had inevitably perfected to the highest alignment as Lord the Great.

In order to explain the reason behind this fact, a reasonable parallel may be drawn between a soul or a human-being and the universe reflected into the shining Supreme Divinity, altogether arising out of mythological knowledge enshrined in ancient Indian religious scriptures or such texts viz. Bhagwat Gita, Srimad Bhagwat Purana, Ramayana and Ram Charita Manas and many other Puranas and Smritis and such many more religious texts in Tibet, Europe, Egypt, Mesopotamia or later Chinese religious scriptures. That way, as obvious, a normal soul most likely elevates to its highest end as already underscored by the legendry philosopher Hegel and another Kant too in terms of his categorical imperative.

Thus in its quest to understand the infinite cosmos, humanity grapples with the fundamental and boundless concepts of time and space and the almighty God as the Supreme Authority. Although still an unimaginable bloc before the humans underway to unravel the supreme mystery, a day will come when the divinity may not remain a mystery before the people at large. Indeed, if the chosen few have the privilege to attain this uncommon and rare feat, the normal and common other humans also may very likely have one day this metaphysical opportunity to celebrate.
