If we can control our thought process, we can dematerialize and materialize anything by the power of concentration developed through deep meditation. As we all know, matter is composed of different forms of electronic vibrations. Ice becomes water and when electricity is passed through water, it breaks further into hydrogen and oxygen which are nothing but forms of electronic vibrations or invisible electrons.

But the basic building blocks, like invisible electrons or protons, always exist as forms of energy in motion. Thus, matter exists in relation to our mind and as a materialized expression of invisible electronic forces that do exist, but are unchangeable and immortal. Both water and ice are manifestations of invisible gases and have transitory existences as such. Both our mortal mind and matter are manifestations of Divine Consciousness. In reality, only the cosmic mind exists. As a person remembers everything he creates; similarly, God remembers everything He has created.

God’s whole creation is so designed as to disillusion us, disillusion us enough to understand the futility of remaining stuck in sensual temptations and thereby try to explore the unexplored and know the unknown. Through this realization, which dawns as we deepen our longing for Him, He tries to draw us........
