Mystical Shoonya
Parth speaking to a brahmacharya...
Parth:
One evening, I was lying down, just watching something. Nothing significant, just watching. Then suddenly, the very matrix of the room around me started shifting. The roof—what was once solid—began to dissolve into something fluid, something more plasma-like. It was no longer a rigid structure; it was alive, moving, dancing. Not as a metaphor, but literally. With open eyes, I saw it.
Before even a thought could rise, before the mind could grasp what was happening, the roof simply vanished. Not metaphorically—vanished. I could move my hand through what was once there. There was no ceiling, no structure—just a vast emptiness.
In that moment, before I could even turn, my body itself began to disappear. First, my right hand—gone. Then, as if some larger intelligence had taken over, my lower body vanished all at once. Then my upper body. What remained was just… awareness. Not as something located within the body, but as the very space in which everything was happening.
It was absolute clarity. This body—this illusion of form—I was the one holding it together. Not through muscle, not through bone, but through sheer intention. Just a simple shift in perception, and the whole construct collapsed. Then it was simply space—no boundaries, no walls, no body, just that which is.
This is not a thought. This is not philosophy. This is reality. Everything you call “myself”—the body, the mind—is just a projection, held together by your own attention. You do not exist as a piece of flesh; you exist as the space in which this entire play of creation happens.
The question is—are you willing to loosen your grip on the illusion? Or do you still want to hold on to the shadows, thinking they are real?
Editor’s Note:
In this extraordinary revelation, Dr. Parth shares a firsthand experience that shatters conventional perception. His words point to something beyond philosophy—direct realization of the nature of existence. What we perceive as solid, tangible, and real is, in essence, a projection of our own awareness.
The story is not just an account; it is an invitation—to look beyond what we think we know, to loosen our grip on the illusion of form, and to step into the boundless reality of existence. Parth challenges us with a fundamental question: Are we ready to see beyond the illusion?
Now, let’s explore this further through deeper inquiry.
Professional Questions with Dr. Parth
Q: This experience you describe—where the body and surroundings dissolve—is this some altered state of consciousness, or is it the actual nature of reality?
Parth: What you call "reality" is simply what your senses perceive. If your eyes see something, you call it real. If your hands can touch it, you say it exists. But tell me, in a dream, do you not see, touch, and experience things vividly? And yet, when you wake up, it is clear that none of it was real.
This waking state you take so seriously is no different—it is simply another dream, held together by your attention. The only difference is that it is a collectively agreed-upon dream. If you shift your perception, even for a moment, the illusion starts to unravel.
What I experienced was not an "altered state"—it was an unfiltered state. It was reality, as it is, before the mind tries to put it into neat little boxes. If you can step out of your identification with this body and mind, you too will see that what you call "solid existence" is just one version of reality—one that is held together by your own consciousness.
Q: Science tells us that matter is made of atoms, which are mostly empty space. Is your experience similar to what physics describes?
Parth: Science is beginning to scratch the surface of what yogis have always known. Yes, atoms are mostly empty space, but what holds them together? What makes them appear as solid objects? The answer is not in physics alone but in perception.
Your consciousness does not perceive "things"—it creates the experience of things. Matter is not sitting there independently, waiting to be discovered; it is happening because your perception is holding it in place. If you loosen your grip on this perception, you will see that form is not fundamental—space is. What physics calls "quantum fluctuations" is just a modern way of describing the dance of perception.
If you look deeply enough, you will see that the whole universe is not a collection of objects but an event happening within awareness. When I say "the body disappeared," it means that the mechanism that holds it together—your attention—was withdrawn for a moment. And in that moment, the illusion fell apart.
Q: If everything is an illusion, then what is the purpose of this human experience? Why not just dissolve completely?
Parth: Dissolving completely is not the goal—it is the truth. The question is, are you ready for it?
Most people are not. If I suddenly dissolve the illusion for you, you will not experience freedom—you will experience terror. Because everything you thought you were, everything you built your identity upon, will disappear. This is why spiritual growth is gradual—it is about loosening your grip, little by little, so that when the time comes, you can let go joyfully.
This human experience is not meaningless. It is an opportunity. You can either get lost in the illusion, believing in its solidity, or you can use it as a stepping stone—to play the game consciously, knowing it is a dream. Then life is not suffering; it is a dance. Then you do not fear losing yourself, because you know there is nothing to lose.
Q: You speak of "loosening the grip on illusion." How does one do that? Is there a practice?
Parth: There is no single practice, but there is a way of being. If you truly wish to loosen your grip on illusion, the first step is simple: Stop taking yourself so seriously.
The more tightly you cling to your identity—your name, your story, your emotions—the more real the illusion feels. The moment you create a little distance, even for a few seconds, you will see that what you call "myself" is just a bundle of impressions, a collection of memories and reactions.
If you want a practice, sit still and do nothing—not even mentally. Just sit and exist, without engaging with your thoughts or emotions. If you do this long enough, you will begin to feel something strange—the boundaries of your body and mind will start to blur. You will realize that you are not a person sitting here; you are simply presence.
This is the doorway. Step through it, and you will see that what you thought was "you" is just a ripple in the vast ocean of existence.
Final Thought:
"You are not the body. You are not the mind. You are not even the space in which they exist. You are that which sees all of it and remains untouched. The only question is—when will you realize it?" – Dr. Parth
