In an old lecture, Ram Dass explained a disturbing theory about levels of reality.
Ram Dass asked the audience to imagine their mind as a television set that could change channels.
So that by changing the channel, they would see a deeper level of reality.
This was the programming for each of those channels :-)
Channel 1
According to Ram Dass, you can see reality as it is on channel one: physical bodies, men, women. And their specific characteristics: tall, short, ugly, handsome, old, young, etc.
Channel 2
In this channel, according to Ram Dass, you can see the personality of each human being: achiever, hysterical, depressive, cynical, selfish, as well as their social roles: teacher, supermarket stocker, doctor, mother, father, son. That is to say, the little engine that moves each person’s life. Their mindset. Their mental identity.
At this point in his theory, Ram Dass says that 99.9% of the people who inhabit the world treat the above channels as real because people define themselves from a socio-psychological and physical point of view.
But you can still go deeper into reality.
Channel 3
This is the astral plane, where people identify with their birth chart and zodiac sign, while others believe that all that astrology is lies.
My opinion,
Suppose one sees what the moon can do to the sea, which goes up and down the tides depending on its cycle. Human beings’ body is 60% water; they may react to the influence of the planets.
