within self (instinct and culture) and the subjective consciousness. It is highly discernible and even replicable fact that constitution of the idea and expression of divinity has always had only those elements, which are instinctively present both inside human mechanism as well as in the external milieu. It is such a ubiquitous commonality that all elements of human consciousness, culture and divinity are the same. This is in sync with ancient wisdom that nothing external to consciousness exists. Science also says the same. We talk in detail about the commonality of these elements below.

Ancient Indian wisdom talked about seven elements of life and delegated these elements in ownership of different Gods. I humbly request you to accept my hypothesis that when our forefathers deciphered these ideas and created a wisdom of oral traditions, they did not mean them to be what we now know as ‘religion’. It was then a social collective wisdom, very much a local culture of few thousand people, living in a physical milieu, which was tough, as humanity had not tamed the wild nature by then. Only hundreds of years later, these wisdoms were crafted in written literary tradition, with their objectivity being lost considerably in subjective consciousnesses of their writers. Then, the larger population, which had become more settled and comfortable with life, named it religion and suitably wrapped these wisdoms with rituals of personal and societal conveniences.

Let us talk about the commonality of elements in the three domains of consciousness, culture and divinity. As we said earlier, there are seven core and predominant elements in nature and all matters of the universe, which stand to be observed by humans, shall have these seven elements – be it human culture, societal interaction structures, subjective self as well as divinity. These seven elements are essentially intangible imageries of brain and mind mechanisms, but as they stand to be observed by humans in an instinctive causality with ambient physical nature, these seven elements stand to be expressed and communicated socially, culturally and personally in tangible terms of words and physical symbols of life and living.

We shall discuss this causality later but first, we must name the seven elements. Before we do it, it must again be emphasized that these intangible elements are being made to ride on the back of humanly designed words and therefore, the resultant conflict and confusion in their true shade of meanings shall ever remain. That is why a humble request is to accept these seven elements in terms of words in holistic-assimilative-integrative perspective, allowing innocence of compassion to come to the forefront of reception. These seven elements in words are –

Creation/Creativity/Initiation/Origin

Indulgence/Opulence/Fulfillness/Wellness

Energy/Endurance/Neuroticism/Shakti

Stabilization/Nurturance/Sustenance/Poise

Determination/Absoluteness/Pruning/Mool-Bhav

Status/Power/Authority/Dominance/Egoism

Conscientiousness/Inevitability/Finality

It is easy to understand and accept that within an individual, these seven elements are deeply ingrained in subconscious layers of self and are expressed in multidimensional plurality of action and behavior. These elements are core instincts of a subjective consciousness and as these elements are intangibles for success of survival of a person, their expressions in behavior and actions are vocal and ubiquitous.

It is also equally visible to all that all cultures of all human societies, across geographical divide in the world have the same seven elements. All cultures are mystical and magical expressions of the marvel of these seven elements. It is a huge domain of empirical study and analysis as how the same elements act and interact with each other in the respective domains of individual self and society. These seven elements engender a mystically marvelous causality between the individual and societal domains and in turn, this causality influences in shaping up the rainbowish shades of cognition both in an individual as well as in contemporary popular societal culture.

We can talk in lengthy details about these cognitions and causality of seven elements but this is not our focus area in this book. We shall talk about them in another book in future. Here, our purpose and utility is to draw the mechanism as how these cognition and causality engender the divinity and its multidimensional realisms. In ancient Indian wisdom, as we said earlier, all these seven elements were made to be owned separately by seven Gods, who are the seven core Gods in Indian tradition. Though in contemporary Indian religious traditions, there are now 330 million deities, a deep look into their historicity of origin and traditions of worship shall very clearly reveal that all of them are owners of only these seven elements.

As we said, there are seven original Gods and Goddesses, who were assigned the ownership of each of these seven elements. Now we once again present the seven elements with their reigning deity marked alongside –

Creation/Creativity/Initiation/Origin – Brahma

Indulgence/Opulence/Fulfillness/Wellness – Indra

Energy/Endurance/Neuroticism/Shakti – Durga

Stabilization/Nurturance/Sustenance/Poise – Vishnu

Determination/Absoluteness/Pruning/Mool-Bhav – Shiva

Status/Power/Authority/Dominance/Egoism – Shani

Conscientiousness/Inevitability/Finality – Yam

We all need to be humble and innocent when it comes to acceptance of anything new, which is not part of our subjective consciousness, cognition and causality. The ancient Indian wisdom cautions that knowledge has utility only if it creates humility, as it is the humility and innocence, which extends the eligibility of wisdom. We are simply creating a hypothesis that ultimately proves, what ancient wisdom observed thousands of years back and what science now accepts as objective and replicable reality. The hypothesis is the acceptance that all realisms are expressions of the intangible processing mechanism of the mind consciousness. The hypothesis is – “Singular objective truth and realism apart, whatever seems and presents itself for observation, is a registry and artistry of the hugely mystical marvels of brain, which unravels them through our mind consciousness.”

Modern science and contemporary social sciences, based on the objectivity of the natural sciences have accepted the same ancient observation and wisdom. They have however explained the same in the light of the brain mechanism and new insights into the processing mechanism of consciousness. The 3Cs – Consciousness-Cognition-Causality, which happens to be behind the 3Ms – Mysticism-Marvel-Magic stands to be seen, interpreted, analyzed and accepted in a new light of holistic-assimilative-integrative perspective. This unravels the objective and singular perceptions of the 3Cs and in turn, settles the age-old multidimensionality and plurality of the 3Ms in an objective and replicable way.

This new causality makes it clear that consciousness has this within itself to engender all sorts of mysticism, marvel and magic. The marvel and mysticism is in the mechanism of the processing of elements of nature, within and outside human body and as these elements are intangible, they are bound to be expressed in a multidimensional way, depending on the interplay and randmomized causality of these seven elements.

Modern science admits that there are seven shades of consciousness and all shades are present in a single individual. It is like a singular source of light splits into seven colors of spectrum as it is made to pass through a prism. An individual’s current personality at a time-space situation is primarily decided by those elements of the seven shades, which are predominant in the same time-space bracket. This however may not be permanent, though many people can remain in the same personality element or elements all throughout their lives.

The social scientists have started to design a consciousness mapping of nations and societies on the basis of these seven shades of personality. It is said that in the existing world, people with red shade of consciousness, which marks the predominance of 2nd and 6th elements of indulgence and status. This shade of consciousness always has been the majority personality grouping at any time of the human civilization. All elements are equally important and inevitable for the evolution of life on this planet. We are not judging on the utility and superiority of any element or any shade of human consciousness and personality. Our enterprise is to observe a causality between consciousness, cultures and divinity.

It is very much easily observable that a person shall usually pick up a generic god to his or her own predominant consciousness. Ancient Indian wisdom said, “Only generic and similar elements can have lasting relationship.” Divinity choices can therefore be observed as causality of personal positioning of subjective consciousness and generic perception of a personal deity. In the long history of humanity, societies have evolved into a collective consciousness of a particular shade and accordingly, their presiding deities have changed too.

The mind consciousness is a strange subject. This subject – the source and dispenser of all actions and behavior has a mechanism, which engenders a beautifully mystical dualism. It is this dualism, which makes him or her engender realisms from within its consciousness and then in turn itself make it an external realism. We are not going into detail of this dualism of consciousness as we have done it in my previous book title, ‘Why Do You Want To Change Me?’. We shall however talk about how the dualism of human consciousness creates so much of magic and marvel. We shall primarily talk about how divinity is one such mysticism and marvel of the human consciousness. This shall finally reach us to a situation where the consciousness finally accepts the end of this dualism, the dissolution and assimilation of the dualism into one singular holism. At this consciousness, the expression, “I Am God” is the only realism.

The idea or feeling of ‘self’, a subjective consciousness of ‘I Am’, as separate and different from ‘them’ is a complex mechanism. Modern contemporary knowledge about this consciousness, which defines us, is now at a level, where we can understand why we as consciousnesses are a very complex entity. This complexity has evolved in a rather stupid way as evolution of humanity in the long journey of billions of years has been the primary stupidity. This subjective sense of ‘I Am’ is one huge potential of joy and wellness at one hand. However, this same subjectivity of consciousness makes it stand as the worst stupid of the universe, unparalleled in the millions of existing species on earth.

Modern objective knowledge unravels to us the complex mechanism of this subjective consciousness. Like the seven intangible elements of consciousnesses, science says that the individual personality has seven layers of consciousnesses within. They are –

1. The Lower Unconscious

2. The Middle Unconscious

3. The Higher Unconscious or Super-conscious

4. The Field of Consciousness

5. The Conscious Self or "I"

6. The Higher Self

7. The Collective Unconscious

All seven elements are within an individual and operate simultaneously. An individual’s personality has all seven stages of personal growth and evolution, alive and functioning at any point of time and space. The lower unconscious contains elements of various instincts, tendencies and complexes. In the higher unconscious are individual talents and potentials which, a person acquire by practice, reveal inner strengths and visions of the. The collective unconscious is the culture within. The life journey is shifting gears from these spheres of consciousnesses. We need to understand this.

From ancient wisdom to modern science, all wisdoms say the common thing. They say – “You are in your perspective and your perspectives are in you.” This means, the personality traits and choices define you and you in turn are defined by these personality choices and perspectives. The common wisdom is – “your subjective consciousness, the idea of ‘I Am’, is not a purely physical realism. This sense of ‘I’ is filtered through multiplicity of conflicting elements within mind consciousness, which are intangibles and it is expressed through brain’s mechanism, which is tangible. This ‘I’ is essentially an emergent and virtual agency, which acts like a virtual bridge between the tangibles and intangibles. That is why the consciousness, the sense of ‘I Am’, sways between the seven layers of consciousnesses, defined cyclically by seven elements of personality.

Modern social sciences maintain there are seven drives or instinctive intangibles within consciousness. They are : 1. Sensation 2. Emotion/Feeling 3. Impulse/Desire 4. Imagination 5. Thought 6. Intuition & 7. Will. The sense of ‘I Am’ presides over all these seven instinctive drives. These elements themselves function within a consciousness as sub-personalities. A consciousness is defined by the elements it allows to dominate itself. The element in turn starts defining the consciousness. The personality of
