Just like before you observe a particle, it's entangled with all other particles. It's in a superposition of possibilities. Where does that superposition of possibilities exist? In pure consciousness. So you go, every time you remember something or imagine something, you go to the source of all experience, which is consciousness. Okay, so when people say, where do I go after I die?

It's where that veggies were. You don't go anywhere. You're there now because you could not have a single thought, a single memory, a single thing to imagine without going to the source of all imagination or source of all thought. Now, in spiritual traditions, it's called pure consciousness. And pure consciousness is a field of all possibilities.

It's a field of uncertainty because, you know, you may not remember exactly what accurately, but you'll make it up anyway. So it's a field of possibilities. It's a field of uncertainty. It's a field of entanglement, correlation, and it's outside of space-time. you never left that place. So, you know, to a yogi, say, where do you go after I die? He says, never left home, you know.

And so memory is the key. And before you articulate the memory, in yogic traditions, it's called a sanskara, a seed. And it's not only a seed of memory, it's also a seed of imagination. And it's linked to what is called karma. Karma is just the interpretation of a past experience. Nothing good, bad about it. I go to Disney World, you go to Disney World. I don't enjoy the experience. You love it.

And you go back and I get scared. And, you know, I'd rather not. Next time I'm on an airplane, it reminds me of Disney World. Horrible. So now we have two different karmas from the same experience because we interpreted sensations. That's all you experience, sensations. You interpreted them differently. So in Buddhist literature, this is a conceptual body.

In Indian Vedantic literature, this is a karmic body. But it means the same thing. Karma, memory, sanskara, imagination, desire are all fluctuations of consciousness. They are vrittis. So that's why one sentence in yoga captures it all. When the fluctuations of consciousness die down, all concepts, all ideas, all theories, what remains is pure consciousness. That's who you are.

This whole yogic literature is just about that, including the asanas. You know, asana means seat of awareness. Okay? Pranayama is the energy that comes from the awareness, vital energy. So asanas and pranayama, properly understood, with the yamas and the niyamas, and then the pratyahara, knowing what's happening inside your body. Today they call it interoceptive or visceroceptive experience.

That's the preparatory stage for dharana, dhyana, samadhi. Focused awareness, meditation, transcendence, which leads to so-called supernormal powers of siddhis, which are non-local dormant potentials that every human being has access to.
