So what is the procedure for carrying out this interesting adventure to try and go about finding oneself? Firstly is there a way for such an exploration or is the search for such a path an illusion in itself.

The answer to this question cannot be found by simple thought processes but it requires deep contemplation as well as trying to experiment with a few techniques which might make it possible for anyone to actually carry out this journey.

But then how many of us have such a time and energy to spare for such a wild goose chase. Luckily for us we don't have to try to discover everything for ourselves. How many of the gadgets that you use in everyday life have you invented or discovered yourself.

So we can and must utilize the knowledge and experience of others to benefit ourselves and this is exactly we are going to do in this search.

In the case of matter the solution lay in devising devices and machines which could see finer and smaller things than a normal human sense of vision could reach. But in context of life, going inside could be very confusing and complicated especially to the uninitiated.

So before going into more details about the process let me remind you of a couple of activities which you must have performed many times unconsciously in your everyday routine life. For example what you do when you get totally engrossed in something for example while doing something extremely interesting or absorbing such as reading a favourite book or writing a letter to your loved one from deep inside your heart.

Well you know the answer to this question is that you literally forget everything around you and even if somebody was talking you would not hear them or notice what the conversation was all about. This is so because you went somewhere inside so to speak so that you became oblivious of the outside world. Here might be a clue to the answer to the question posed in this blog.

Well if you have studied physics you must surely remember that scientists tried to find the origin of life and matter by going deeper into the matter. This led to the discovery of molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons and what not in the search of the smallest possible division of matter.

Even later on several particles were discovered by scientists which were even smaller than these and form of the basis of every matter. This research might be quite sufficient as far as the unanimated matter is concerned but certainly it cannot explain the origin of life however successful it might be in defining the origin of matter.

So where does one go to find the origin of life? Well the answer might be found from the discovery of the origins of matter which means going within. So I hope you get a clue from this.

Of course it may not be true that the same principle applies over here also, but the philosophers of the yore thought along the same lines, and what they discovered really needs attention as we shall see in the coming days.
