In every individual’s journey, there comes a moment of awakening — a realisation that transcends the everyday and touches the very core of existence. This moment, often described as the “Aha” of spirituality, is the shift where the self dissolves, and the True Self emerges, revealing an interconnectedness with the universe. This article explores the process of realisation through stages of awareness, dissolution, reconnection, and scientific grounding, making the experience tangible for anyone seeking to understand the essence of their own being.
Stage 1: Awareness
The first step in any realisation begins with conscious awareness. In the spiritual sense, awareness is more than mere observation — it is the active, present recognition of everything happening within and outside oneself. According to Krishnamurti, thinking can never show you the Truth because thought itself is limited by its own nature. Instead, only through conscious awareness can one begin to see the action of Truth.
Awareness starts as a subtle shift. You might notice the workings of your mind more clearly — how thoughts arise, how emotions trigger reactions, how you respond to stimuli without always being conscious of it. As this awareness deepens, there’s a quiet, almost silent knowing that there’s more to existence than the constant chatter of the mind.
This moment of deeper awareness sets the stage for something profound to unfold: the realisation that you are not just a thinker, not just a doer, but part of something far greater.
Stage 2: Dissolution
With sustained awareness, the self — what we commonly refer to as the ego or personality — begins to dissolve. This dissolution is not the annihilation of identity, but the melting away of the rigid structures that define “you” as separate from the rest of existence. In this stage, you experience an emptiness, but not a void of despair — rather, it is a space of infinite potential.
As the ego dissolves, there is a startling realisation: the self, the personality you’ve known all your life, is not permanent. It can appear and disappear within you. This dissolution reveals that what you once thought was your true self — your thoughts, habits, desires — are merely temporary expressions, phenomena that come and go.
In this moment, the boundaries of the individual dissolve, and you experience a connection to the universe itself. You realise that your True Self is not bound by personality, not tied to the fleeting thoughts or feelings. You are part of the very fabric of the universe, connected to the natural laws that govern existence.
Stage 3: Reconnection
Once the self has dissolved, there is a profound reconnection — not with the individual ego, but with the essence of being. What remains after this dissolution is perception, a pure awareness that you are part of a greater whole. This is the moment when realisation sets in fully: you see yourself as part of the universe, and not merely an isolated personality.
You return to the personality, but now with a new understanding. The ego no longer controls you; it becomes a tool, a surface expression of something much deeper. The True Self, that deeper essence of who you are, reconnects with the personality, transforming it in the process. There is a harmony that wasn’t there before, a sense that the True Self flows through the personality as a kind of energy that can transform thoughts, actions, and relationships.
In this reconnection, you understand that the universe’s intelligence, its vast interconnectedness, is within you. You are not separate from the natural laws or the infinite potential that exists in the cosmos. In fact, it is from this very potential that you have emerged, and it is this realisation that changes everything.
Stage 4: Scientific Grounding
The experience of realisation is often dismissed as mystical or abstract, but modern science is beginning to validate what ancient spiritual traditions have long suggested. At the heart of this is the discovery of quantum processes in the body — particularly in the microtubules within our cells.
Microtubules are not just structural components; they are transmitters and receivers of information, capable of processing quantum phenomena. These tiny structures, present in all our cells, operate at the very threshold of physical and quantum reality. In this way, they serve as conduits for the universe’s intelligence, linking the physical self to the quantum field that permeates all existence.
When the personality dissolves and you reconnect with your True Self, what you are experiencing is, in part, a quantum shift. You are tapping into the same energy that governs the movement of particles, the formation of stars, and the expansion of the universe. This is why the realisation feels so profound — it is a moment when the intelligence of the cosmos becomes tangible within you.
Science, especially quantum biology, is beginning to reveal that these realisations are not mere philosophical musings but are grounded in the very fabric of reality. The universe’s baseline energy field, which you experience as your True Self, is not just abstract — it is present in you because you evolved from it. The finest quantum presence that underpins the universe is still active in you, and realization is simply becoming aware of this truth.
Realisation is the process of awakening to the deeper truth of existence: that you are part of the universe’s fabric, governed by the same natural laws and quantum realities that shape the cosmos. It begins with awareness, progresses through the dissolution of the self, leads to reconnection with the True Self, and is grounded in the emerging science of quantum biology.
In making realisation tangible, you open the door for others to experience this profound shift. The moment they see that their own awareness connects them to the universe’s intelligence, everything changes. Realisation becomes not just a mystical experience but a lived, practical understanding of life itself. And in this understanding lies the true meaning of being.
