I finally am a time traveler. Although the achievement is half
of what I practiced for but I can work with it. In fact I couldn’t ask for
more. I can finally travel back in time. And who doesn’t want to go back in
their past and relive/amend it? Everybody has made choices which they
regret now. Everybody has lived such moment which cannot be replicated again. What
wouldn’t people do to go back in those moments and re-experience them? I was
made of same list of longings. I didn’t want to just think about past and get
lost in ‘what if’s of life. I conspired against the universe and now I finally
am a legitimate time traveler.
It wasn’t easy. The idea of time traveling was always plagued by
our physical inability to sustain any velocity faster than sound; and time
travel desperately needed my body to travel faster than light which was
physically impossible but in the Quantum level it was an everyday thing. And
obviously the Quantum universe was out of my reach. I mean, how can I shred
myself into atomic level and adhere and adapt myself into the uncertainty of
movement of electrons? But ‘something’ happened. For a grand achievement like
Time traveling I always thought that this ‘something’ would come out as
complicated indulgence and something which is practically an impossible affair.
But there I was listening to my mp3 player when that ‘something’
was being played, a song named ‘Shine’, a song by Jason Mraz, where he sagely
states that ‘Love travels faster than
light.’ And I was hit by this idea, “Time traveling is physically
impossible for something tangible like our human body but what if I can send
something intangible like ‘conscience’ which is existent in nature but does
not have any volume or mass whatsoever, back and forth in time. I mean I sure
as hell am sure that the velocity of Light can never affect something which
doesn’t physically exist.”
There I was ransacking every websites and video platforms to
understand the art of ‘Meditation’. Who could have imagined that the secret to
time travel was something simpler and common like Meditation? I dedicated every
ounce of leisure time I had to learn the discipline of controlling thoughts and
consciences(deliberate plural-ism). The problems around me always pulled me down and almost made it
impossible for me to cleanse my mind out of tensions and self established
doubts. But I finally learned the lesson. It was rather a chapter. A chapter called ‘Acceptance’:
I finally understood the underlying ever-present fact that, “Meditation is not escaping from who you are
or what situations you are made of, it
is accepting who you are and acknowledging your every decisions, right or
wrong, that shaped you into what you are today.” You have to first accept your identity and
then only can you be able to explore more of what your soul has in store.
I finally was able to give magnitude and vector to my
conscience. The clearer my conscience was the faster it moved in space and
time. Now all I had to do was to think of the moment I wanted to
relive/re-experience. I want to rephrase one of Paulo Coelho’s quote here, “If you want something from your heart then
do not stop at wanting. Take actions to claim what is rightfully yours and in
addition to the universe’s conspiracy, your heartfelt longings can even bend
space and time to help you achieve that thing.”
