Nataraja: Unveiling the Mysteries of Consciousness

As a Tantrika, I was transfixed with the wonders of the cosmos and a particular event struck in my memory. That of a 14 year old me, listening intently as my teacher told me that our Sun, was a star, and that it had its own cycle of birth and death, mirroring the cyclical nature of the universe itself. This realization sparked an insatiable curiosity within me to understand the depths of existence.

Someone wise once said, "There are two most significant moments in your life: when you are born and when you find out why." I am on a journey to uncover my "why," and I invite you to join me in finding yours.

During my studies in psychology, I became fascinated with altered states of consciousness, particularly the neurochemistry behind them. On a mushroom journey in Amsterdam, I felt my mind opening as my prefrontal cortex – the seat of the ego – seemed to shut down. Scientists call this phenomenon "hypofrontality," a state where, in the absence of the ego, the Self can merge with its surroundings, challenges, and tasks, achieving a state of flow with relative ease.

Flow, once a closely guarded secret of Tibetan monks and Tantric masters, is now a prized tool in Silicon Valley, where tech tycoons have harnessed its power. For the past seven years, I have been closely observing and learning their secrets to accessing this heightened state of productivity and creativity.

Integrating scientific research, Jungian psychology, Tantric Buddhism, and bodywork, I am delving deep into the mystical portal into uncovering and living my soul's purpose.

Beneath the surface, an urge to know the cosmos has always existed within me. Recent studies by McKinsey suggest that flow states can increase our productivity by five times, allowing us to shrink five days' work into one. In this state, characterized by the absence of thinking, the prefrontal cortex disengages, and deeper parts of the mind – connected to the collective unconscious – take the lead.

This "hive mind" is tapped into by US Navy SEALs to operate as a cohesive team and capture enemies, and it's also utilized in software engineering. Google's top-secret Mindfulness Society teaches people how to hack their own minds to achieve extraordinary levels of productivity.

If I believed in Human potential then, now after AI, my belief has aggrandized.

We are capable of so much we give ourselves credit for.
