Studies in Metaphysical Dreams-1
In the year 2005. I was thrown into ill health - chronic diabetes and so forth. In the course of these severe changes to my body I also experienced a variety of metaphysical dreams that was part of my recovery. Fortunately my health was good enough to record all these dreams and analyse them.
In the various parts under this head you can read the details.

Studies in Metaphysical Dreams-1

Moon Woman and KuNdalini
Lately I have been having a series of dreams , the lucid variety and which are metaphysical in substance. Such dreams burst upon me as I turned 65 (2005) and which indicate that my body is also undergoing a rejuvenation where not only the senility is destroyed but also the hereditary factors that landed me in diabetes and so forth. I have written down the whole series of dreams and also my physical conditions by way of the MEANINGS of such dreams. Just over the last 3 months these notes (in Tamil) have run into more than 500 pages and I intend to publish some of them by way of revealing more and more of the metaphysical processes and how they are linked with various kinds of icons or archetypes so central in Tantrism
In this essay I want to mention the dreams related to the MOON and how they figure in the rejuvenation process. Recall here that this very ancient the Sumerian In-anna, is the dumu-gal the great daught of Suen, the Soman the Moon god.
The Black Moon and the Snakes.
One of the most bewildering and totally novel dream I had is that in which my body becomes filled with little Black Moons and which serve as the eggs from which hatch out little snakes that crawl into every nook and corner of my body, reaching out even the extreme parts like the feet hands and so forth. Such snakes drive away the signs of senility of these body parts gradually. Then they become larger snakes with a single head. Then they become five-hooded snakes and finally they also become DIAMOND and at which point my body also shines forth as diamond strong and with built in immunity against diseases.
At the moment the snakes within me are just the ordinary snakes providing me with a reasonable amount of KuNdalini whereby I can renew my metaphysical studies such as those on Icon Thinking of Sundarar and so forth. It is also indicated to me that it will take another month or so for the snakes to become the five-hooded variety and diamond and at which point I shall also recover my sexual prowess
The Aticedan and the Diamond Moon
Now another series of dreams relate to the Diamond Moon and this in connection with Deep Sleep. Each time I had deep sleep sometimes with clear dreams, it was indicated to me that my soul becomes the Black VishNu who sleeps over a huge Aticedan, the Five-Hooded snake. When the sleep becomes very deep ( the Cuzutti type) not only the Aticedan becomes huge and coils firmly as a bed but also the number of heads swells to a thousand or so,
However what is fascinating here is that such deep sleep develops into another kind of sleep in which Psychic Energy is poured into the soul and which facilitates the body renewal processes so that the body becomes youthful again
This happens when the whole of the Aticedan gets enveloped by a huge and massive DIAMOND Moon ( the Parasakti?) where while I sleep immense KuNdalini Sakti is transferred into my body and because of which I assume various kinds of virile and youthful shapes. Sometimes it is shown that such transformational processes take place within the huge massive and intensely BLACK body of VishNu
The Apsaras and Black Moon
Sometimes I am shown that the WOMAN, descends upon me and installs herself as the Black Moon within my groin area thereby fascilitating the recovery of youthful virility and so forth. Sometimes this apsaras is also equated with a young woman of my acquaintance and whom I admire.
Why the Beautiful Woman is a Moon?
Let me conclude this brief note with an observation. A young and beautiful woman is not a moon at all but the sexual libido she activates take the form of the Moon, the Black Diamond and so forth and hence certainly metaphysical. While such are felt intuitively by most men but they are NOT aware of them as such and hence PROJECT the KuNdalini Moon upon the young lady who arouses the libido deep within.
Perhaps if the dreamer is a female, there will the SUN instead of the MOON and a MALE figure instead of the female figure as that which activates the sexual libido.

The Tree and the Human Body
The Tree Worship
There seems to be an intimate connection between the tree and fbs shape and function of the human body which may explain why from very ancient days the tree has been worshiped as something divine all over the world. In Tantrism this continues even to this day. In Penang itself I have witnessed wedding ceremonies conducted over a Banyan Tree and Neem Tree that somehow have come together and grow intertwined. For the common tantric hindu-s they symbolise the union of Siva and Sakti and hence something divine. In CaGkam literature we have Siva being described as Aal Amar Celvan, the deity resident in the Banyan Tree. Similarly Ambaal or more specifically Mariyamma is said to reside in the Neem Tree. Almost every temple in S.India also has a Tala Virutcam, a Tree of the Temple signifying the sacredness of the location of the temple. Even in Malaysia I have seem temples that have been built around huge trees where the lowest part of the trunk has been made into the sanctum sanctorum
Now I mention all these by way of describing some lucid dreams I had in connection with a near collapse of my heart and its immediate recovery that took place on the 3rd of August, 2005, when I about to turm 65 yrs old. I must mention here that prior to that I have been suffering for about three months pains in my left foot which developed blood clods because of excess of sugar level in my blood as part of the diabetes that attacked me all of a sudden. Through effective medication the sugar level was brought to the normal level and the swell and pain subsided but not without affecting my whole body. The whole body became quite weak where I had to quit writimg my usual metaphysical articles which were cognitively very demanding.
The Collapse of the Heart and Its Immediate Restoration
On the said night, after I came down to drink some water after waking up in the middle of the night ( which I normally do), the exercise of climbing up the 30 odd steps proved to be too demanding for my heart. As I lay on the bed ready to continue my sleep, I could feel that my heart was collapsing and that I was in for a heart failure. There was the typical cold sweat all over my body and fear gripped me that death was approaching me through heart failure. I just lay on the bed in fear of this possibility and which fortunately did not materialize. After sometime, my heart became reasonably strong. After a few hours I even managed to have a deep sleep with a long and clear dream.
The Aticedan and Para Sakti
Now while I remained reasonably awake, there were a number of lucid dreams of the metaphysical variety explaining to me exactly what is happening. First I have been shown earlier that deep sleep is a gift of Aticedan the Five-hooded huge snake on which sleeps the Black Tirumaal( Vishnu) When the soul is possessed by this Tirumaal sleeping over the bed provided by the coiled Aticedan, the soul enjoys deep sleep that in fact rejuvenates the person. Now when my heart was about to collapse what happened was this Aticedan itself shrunk and finally disappeared. But fortunately for me, immediately a Huge Diamond Moon came to be there in place of Aticedan , swallowing it and providing the necessary energy for the heart to function as usual . I understand this massive Diamond Moon is Parasakti- the Supreme Woman who is the source of all energies.
Thus death through heart failure was prevented by the timely interference of this Parasakti and which led me to understand that the death or survival of a person lies in the hands of this Parasakti, the equal half of Siva. The recovery of my heart was also indicated by some other lucid dreams. My heart was initially red in color then it became bright blue. Finally it became diamond - very bright and radiating intense light.
I knew the meanings of such dreams and which immediately gave me the confidence that my heart will be okay. However for the next few days I could feel that my heart was weak and that I should take some good rest and which I did. I can climb up and down the staircase the next morning itself though I refrained from driving the car around
The Banyan Tree and the Bush
Now there was another series of very interesting dreams where the TREE figured as the central element. A few days before this event , I have been told by such dreams that I am in for a body renewal where my body would become like a Banyan Tree , with deep and wide roots crawling like hungry snakes deep into the soil with huge and tall trunks with branches all over . Even the branches would have massive sub-branches supported by strong and thick Air Roots , the Vizutu just like in a Banyan Tree.
Now on this day, a dream I had showed that this Banyan Tree also collapsed and in its place there came to be a Bush like small tree signifying that my whole body lacked the nutrients that will allow the growth and sustenance of a massive tree like the Banyan Tree. However again the Banyan Tree returned piercing through the bush-like Tree restoring the various fundamental processes at work and which would bless me a strong and healthy body, like a Banyan Tree.
The Roots and the Trunk : SivaliGkam
In a further series of dreams , it was indicated to me that the root system below the ground that supplies the tree with water and other nutrients is under the control of Sakti, the WOMAN while the trunk and branches under the control of Siva or the Male. Thus we see here the presence of Natam and Bindu, the Bindu providing the roots and Natam the trunk and branches. We can see this is also what is communicated by the SivalinGkam where the Lingam proper stands for the trunk-system and the circular Yoni, the root-system . For a person to enjoy a healthy body where the heart and brain function properly, we have to have both Natam and Bindu functioning in active co-ordination
The Man and Woman
We can see also that biological bodies of the males and females are differently organized such that under normal circumstances they have to LIVE TOGETHER in deep love for enjoying a healthy body. For the woman is like the roots system, the power that controls the functioning of the heart and hence the blood vessels and blood flow. The man is like the trunk-system , the brain and nerves and hence the intellectual and cognitive functions. Here we can see that heart is more fundamental and when it collapses so will the brain and so forth.
Now this may explain partly why on the whole women live longer than men and why married men who lead a happy family life (sometimes even marrying several times) live longer than those given over to ascetic way of life. It appears that when a man and woman live together in deep love, the woman stimulates the heart-system of the man and makes him live healthily. The man on the other hand stimulates the brain processes of the woman and with that make her live more with Natam, the Lingam so that she is more courageous confident assertive and so forth.
All these are quite new to me but which made me think that there is something metaphysically very deep in the Tree Worship that have been a puzzle to me for a long time.

Cakras and Metaphysical Transportations
As Paul has observed, it seems only during times of personal crises that we have an intense course of dreams including the lucid variety. I must add here that it is also in the course of such dreams that the ancient and primordial archetypes or icons emerge and contribute to UNDERSTANDING what is happening if the person takes the trouble to record them and INTERPRET them appropriately. Thus we can see a kind of Hermeneutic Science centering on Hermeneutic Semiotics at work here and that through a diligent exercise of interpretation, the MEANINGS are wrested out and with that deep kind of metaphysical illuminations gained,.
As I ponder over the large range of primordial archetypal images that were disclosed during my health crises, I have noted that there is TANTRISM at work and that this may be the root of all religions.
The Cakras of Tantric Psychology
I want now to narrate some dreams which make it clear that there are Cakras along with metaphysical processes which transport an individual from one Cakra to the next and possibly higher and with that blessing the individual with some good tidings. I want to narrate both what happened to me as well to another young lady , one of those individuals whom I have been counseling for several years quite often using the Tree Drawing Test , one of the most useful Access Tests that form the basis of Agamic Psychology that I have founded,
The Cakras as formed by a cluster of mantra-complexes have been streamlined into SIX (or Seven ) Atara Cakras and which we can understand as Existential Ecologies - metaphysical realms that form the basis of existence. Thus the Cakras are not hypothetical constructs but rather Deep Structures that are there to be located and identified as such and such in the general structure of EXISTENCE itself.
The Baptism of Waters of an Old Man
By old man , I mean myself as this happened when I was about to turn 65 by which age most males are dead and gone. For a few days before there was an advance message to the effect that I am about to receive some great blessings from BEING and which will put an end to all my miseries due to senility and so forth. And sure enough on the 28th of June 2005 where I was in the thick of all kinds of health problems, I had this marvelous dream where I am transported from an ocean of Dirty Waters full of evil and flesh eating creatures into a vast ocean of absolutely Pure Waters. This transportation was effected by a pair of huge hands and which are certainly that of BEING. Now once I was put in this vast ocean of Pure Waters, I regain a youthful body by swimming in it. My senility disappears, my youthful vigor is restored and I begin to enjoy a diamond body , a body that remains resistant to attacks of diseases and so forth. I was also told that soon all my inner organs will regain their youthful vigor and which will free me from swallowing all kinds of drugs to keep the diabetes and so forth under control.
Now nearly two and a half month after this event , I can see that I am regaining a youthful frame where I can see that I am regaining my intellectual powers that I lost for about two months. I can write cognitively demanding articles like The Icon Thinking of Sundarar and so forth. Though I am not fully recovered but the current rate of development tells me that within a matter of the next few months , I may in fact enjoy a youthful body along with sexual virility and so forth.
The Baptism of Waters of a Young Lady
Now as I have mentioned similar dreams occurred about this young lady who had just turned 21. She has lost her parents in early childhood itself and was taken care by one her brothers. She is very intelligent and more spiritually inclined than most of the girls of her age. The differences in her maturity created many family problems where her relatives could not understand that she was different and because of which there were crises after crises and which made her ill and so forth, So to escape from these miseries she turned to Mariyamman, her favorite deity and vowed to carry a Pot of Milk and offer to Her for SIX years. In order to do this she had to fast a few days before the day of the festival and during the pot carrying day she has to walk barefoot for three Km before reaching the temple. Now as she completed her vow and concluded this ritual for the sixth and final time, this dream occurred to me about her and which I related to her. Again a huge pair of hands transport her from an ocean of dirty waters with evil flesh-eating creatures into a pool of Lotus flowers where she in the nude and a blue body frolics with a young man also blue in color like Krishna. In fact both of them also appear as Krishna and Gopi
And sure enough after several months of this, she has found deep love with a man who also loves her deeply. Perhaps soon they will get married. Any way this man also helps her out in many ways so that she need not depend any more on her brothers and sisters.
The Cakras
Now it can be seen that while there are differences there are also fundamental similarities. In both cases there is a metaphysical transportation from an Ocean of dirty waters into that of Ocean of Pure waters or a pond of Red Lotus. The young lady is blessed with a new ecology of genuine love and romance while the old man is blessed with a youthful body and hence good health and so forth.
Now it can be seen that while I was transported into what is called the Vicutti Cakra, the Cakra of great purity, the young lady into a part of Manipuurakam, the ecology as ordained by Vishnu and where the blue-bodied KaNNan ( Krihsna) is also present.
Metaphysical Purification
In both cases the outcome is something that is good and which frees the individuals from all kinds of miseries though of different sorts. There is transportation from a Cakra full of dirty waters and where abound flesh-eating creatures. Thus in both cases what we have is Tiikkai ( Sk Diksa) where the DIRT is removed and the person is placed in an ecology that is PURE and CLEAN
This brings us to the notion of Malam, the Dark Killer Energy and which in my case is the cause of senility and chronic death-bringing diseases and in the case of the young lady the source of various kinds of miseries in life that constitute the traumas and mental tortures. Thus the metaphysical transportation is actually PURIFYING the soul by placing it in an existential abode or Cakra where there are NO dirt, or features of the Malam, the killer Energy
The Sadhana
We can also see that both of us have accomplished something similar but by the exercise of different Sadhanas. She managed to accomplish through a ritual action of carrying a Pot of Milk consistently for six years without ever giving it up for some reason or rather .The last one was really demanding for just a few days before, she had met with a minor accident where she received cuts in her arms and legs. Though even I advised her to postpone it, she wouldn’t and carried out the vow with determination that was indeed amazing.
In my case it can be the seven years of ascetic life ( after the dissolution of my second marriage) where I devoted myself among others, to an intensive study of Sacred Tamil where I particularly enjoyed Tirumular who excited me beyond measure This preoccupation with Njaanam as expounded in these texts must have contributed somehow towards making me fit for receiving this blessing. The Njaanam that I gained through the study of these texts , must have weakened the hold of Malam in my soul and body so that transporting me into the Ocean of Pure Waters is made something feasible.
What this analysis and understanding makes clear is that Tantrism with its Fundamental Ontology of Pati Pacu and Paacam and where the Malam is there as one of the Paacaas , is a TRUTH
The causes of senility in my case and that of various kinds of traumas in life in the case of the young lady is the presence of this Malam and that only by weakening its presence can one enjoy good life. The young lady managed it by Ritual Action while I through studies of Sacred Tamil

The Metaphysics of Life Rejuvenation
I took courage to write this essay after noting that since I was down with ailments and senility that brought me close to death , I am now reasonably well recovered as also confirmed by the physicians this morning. These lucid dreams I am about to narrate are quite unbelievable for they hint at metaphysical processes that can help an individual recover the youthful virility by overcoming the biological processes that bring about senility and death and which are quite natural. However it appears that such processes can be annulled and the premature death avoided and one can live as ‘enRum patinaaRu’ ( always the sweet sixteen) as Saivites would say.
The Signs of Senility
For the last few years, to be more precise since 1997- I have been losing my youthful virility with the oneset of senility a sure sign of which was the Erectile Dysfunction ( ED) but which did not worry me that much as I was quite mentally prepared to this kind of eventuality. I also had enough of domestic bliss with two marriages. And furthermore right from my youth I was essentially quite ascetic deep inside and the decline such as this was not a matter that made me worry. But what made me worry was the lose of my intellectual capacities - to write deep articles in metaphysics and so forth and which happened lately and lasted for about two months. During this period the lose of my sexual desires was total and complete and which came along with my inability to write for many hours and enter into deep metaphysical reflections that result in the various kinds of articles I write.
Now I am recovering not only my ability to do such things but also entertain sexual thoughts. I can work now about 6 hours a day on the computer and in the evenings I can spend several hours pouring over Sacred Tamil that interests me so much and then exhausted enjoy a deep and long sleep. A part of my blood in now being converted into the seminal fluid with ED disappearing slowly. This process of recovery may take another few months but it is surely there. I can even marry for the third time and father some children(as some dreams would indicate).
Hugely surprised and noting that such things have been mentioned by Tirumular and many other Tamil Siddhas, I have become bold to announce it to the world for whatever it is worth.
The First Dream : The Blue Siva
The first dream occurred after that in which the divine hands took me out from the sea of dirty waters with flesh eating creatures into an ocean of Pure Waters frolicking in which I become a young man again.
Now I appear as the Blue Siva with a very youthful and majestic body sitting on the Tiger Skin , Deer Skin and so forth. Now as the Amutu (ambrosia) pours into my body from the top of the head and from a gold pot, it spreads over the whole of my body where I begin to have the Ganges on the tuft and the Crescent Moon also there. However after this process continues for a while I begin to have the golden snake on my neck as well as my arms. Then I have two beautiful apsaras sitting on my lap at which point a huge Trisuulam, the Trident appears behind me and on which beats very violently the Damaru, the hand drum.
These icons are quite new to me though I have been shown that anyone who writes meaningful metaphysical essays are cast into this icon and only because of which they write so. But it is quite a revelation that these icons and iconic features are related to Amutu that is poured from the Lotus of Thousand Petals , the Sahasra Talam. It is also interesting that when I apply to myself the Tree Drawing Test, I end up drawing such a lotus with a Hexagon in the center and inside a circle
It appears to me that I am blessed with these processes only because unknowingly I have managed to ascend the Six Atara Cakras of Tantric Psychology and go even beyond
The Second Dream: The Young KaNNan ( KrishNa)
In this dream which is more recent, my body appears as in an X-ray film. In the region where my brain meets the brain stem there appears all of a sudden bright and pure while light and which then spreads downwards through the spinal cord to the groin area and upwards towards the whole of the brain cleaning off every dirt or Malam that may be present there. Then it spreads over the whole of the nervous system and as a result of which all the nerves sparkle like diamond. Then my heart also becomes diamond and because of which blood flows through the veins to every part of my body including the extremities like the feet hands eyes the penis and so forth. Both processes make my phallus stand out like a diamond pillar spitting out a large amount of seminal fluid. With these capacities restored I become the handsome young KaNNan , Black or Blue with feather of the peacock ( Mayil piili) on the forehead. I also become the flute playing Krishna the music drawing some Gopies around. I also become the cowherd who plays the flute sitting on a rock beneath a tree and where a few pure white cows gather around.
This immediately reminded me of Tirumular's Ten Potu, also called the Ambalam, the local presence of the Metaphysical Deep Space where Siva enacts His Dance of Bliss with Uma,
It appears that through my dream analysis and studies in metaphysics such as in Sacred Tamil, my soul has been registering an archeoductive movement, the movement of the soul into the deeper recesses of the mind and lately touched a certain region there that is equivalent to transcending the Six Atara Cakras and reaching the region of the Sahasra Talam. This may mean tht in the near future I will attain it and that I am well on the way.
Concluding Remarks
a) It is clear that God does not worry whether I am a Brahmin a Dalit and so forth and also to what religion I belong to. These processes are there for anyone to enjoy provided they undertake a metaphysical odyssey where the soul moves deeper and deeper into the various brain areas and going into the depths reaches that region of the brain that meets the spinal cord and brightens it up
b) These processes are NOT my speculations as such dreams occur only when my speculative mind is disconnected from the soul. Thus they are objectively there and anyone who moves in a certain way can access them and become rejuvenated as Tamil Siddhas have been drumming this in almost all their major writings.
c) This also shows that God does not worry at all whether one follows Saivism or VaishNavism. What are now regimented as images of Saivism and VaishNavism break down in the context of such dreams where both images of VishNu and Siva alternate in various ways.
d) Now these deep metaphysical processes are neither Aryan nor Dravidian but rather UNIVERSAL, available to anyone who can free himself from the various cultural prejudices and just move along where the dreams take one. However I notice also that such processes have been highlighted in the Nubian-Kemetian-Sumerian-Dravidian cultures ( that I call Tantrism or Agamism) than in other cultures. It appears to me that while NKSD cultures have promoted such metaphysical processes other cultures have suppressed and repressed them

The Metaphysics of Sleep and Death
There is a metaphysical explanation of all events in the world and hence certainly also of the fundamental processes of sleep and death that is common to all living creatures. I want to explain this metaphysics of sleep and death as it was disclosed to me by a series of metaphysical dreams and which are lucid dreams communicated by BEING and hence certainly not products of my imaginative mind. Such an explanation is quite different from that of the physiological studies of sleep and death where the heart beat brain processes eye-movements during sleep and so forth are measured using various kinds of electronic devices. But the metaphysics of such processes is NOT something that can be captured by such devices and relates only to Hermeneutic Semiotics where metaphysical dreams are had and the MEANINGS are wrested out through interpretations. Thus we gain an UNDERSTANDING that illuminates the mind and provides a certainty beyond measure.
The Various Kinds of Sleep and the Aticeedan
As I have mentioned already, on the 28th of June, 2005 occurred a metaphysical dream in which I was removed from a sea of dirty waters and flesh-eating creatures into an ocean of Pure Waters frolicking in which I become youthful again. Now subsequent to this metaphysical transportation, I had a series of dreams describing various kinds of Deep Slumber I enjoyed and which were instrumental in my recovery.
The first type was sleep induced by Black Tirumaal ( VishNu) sleeping over the five-headed Aticedan but over an ocean of Black Waters. This was followed by the same kind of sleep but where the ocean was Blue Waters. Then and finally I had a sleep where the Ocean was the Ocean of Milk and which appeared as diamond bright.
How to understand these mythical themes?
As I was pondering over the meanings it slowly dawned that the sleep over the Black Ocean was a sleep in which the aging processes were arrested and with that further decay of my body parts stopped. This is a kind of FREEZING action induced perhaps by the Black Waters in which my soul reposed.
Next is the Blue Waters and which meant to me recovery of a sort and possibly the onset of processes restoring my youthful vitality and so forth. The Blue Color appears in many places with roughly this meaning. When blue lotus bursts into my swollen left foot, it ,meant some recovery where the pain disappeared and because of which I was quite cheerful. Now when the Ocean becomes the Ocean of Milk, I believe that it is a restoration processes, the onset of processes that replenish the dead tissues that are now also eliminated from the body/
Sleep and the Different Times
It was also disclosed to me that during the night and at different times , different parts of the body were subject to these processes . This was done by the images of the Aticedan covering up the soul in the shape of Black Tirumaal but brightening up at different parts of the body. Thus on the onset of sleep , say about 11.00 pm it was the feet. About 3.00 in the morning it was the groin area where the sexual organs are located. But in early mornings say from about 5.00 to 7-00 it was the head.
This was quite interesting for I have noticed for a long time that even if I missed sleep at the other times of the day but had a good morning sleep, the following day I would be active and alert as if I had a deep sleep for several hours. It seems the KuNdalini Sakti as represented by the Snake takes the shapes of these waters and that in different times of the night acts on different parts of body
The Decay of Aticedan and Possible Onset of Death
Now such deep sleeps continued for about a month but beginning from August the situation changed and became worse. This was also the time my heart also became weak but with immediate restoration. I started having strange dreams in which the Aticedan started shrinking and collapsing and which was accompanied with my inability to sleep like before. In the middle of the night I would wake up unable to continue sleep and immediately a dream would show why this was so. The Aticedan would appear with a hollow in the centre because of which Tirumaal could not repose and had to wake up in the shape of Ganesha. There was a tussle between Tirumaal and Ganesha and where when Ganesha triumphs what follows is a state of wakefulness. When the Aticedan somehow succeeds in brining its tail and filling up the gap in the centre and thus form a firm bed, then Tirumaal would return and Ganesha would depart.
However one day this Aticedan collapsed completely but fortunately it was immediately swallowed by a huge boundless MOON of Supreme Brilliance and which was certainly the Parasakti for it created a flat bed of diamonds and placing my soul there would feed immense energy allowing me to emerge with a diamond body, the Vaccirat Tekam. The sleep had also a peculiar pattern- It would alternate between sleeping for an hour or so and then waking up for about the same length of time. This kind of sleep continued for about two weeks and after which the deep sleep with Aticedan-Tirumaal returned. Since then I have been enjoying such a sleep and which is instrumental in the recovery that I am enjoying now.
Parasakti and Death
One of the questions I posed was : What could have happened to me if the Aticedan collapsed and disappeared and it was not immediately replaced with Parasakti as the source of vital energy?
It appears to me that possibly I would have been dead and gone as is the case with so many individuals. The breathing processes would have stopped and along with it the brain processes and so forth. It also shows that while Aticedan-Tirumaal can help to conserve the living processes during deep sleep but they have no control over death. They cannot establish themselves by their own will firmly in the soul so that breathing and hence the basic biological processes continue well conserved. It appears it is Parasakti who swallows the Aticedan and who then regulates death and living and that She can interfere at the crucial moments and provide the necessary energy that would restore the Aticedan and along with that deep sleep and bodily recovery of the person thus blessed.
