The Yog Vasishtha, that ancient scripture wherein the sage Vasishtha unravels the secrets of the universe to the young, perplexed Lord Rama, is at once fascinating, revelatory, convoluted and confusing. The suggestion, especially, that each one of us creates, and then proceeds to inhabit, multiple universes simultaneously, seems to be a bit hard to swallow even for the most committed spiritual seeker.
It is rightly said that life mirrors our innermost thoughts and desires, and we do know that our minds freely wander from topic to topic without rein of any sort. For instance, when 26/11happened, all we could see was our beloved Mumbai at siege, yet no sooner did the recession hit America did our vision just as easily embrace the global economy.
Last month, we were concerned about Gaddafi’s fate and now, there seems to be nothing more pressing than Anna Hazare’s health! That which currently occupies us is paramount in our consciousness, often to the exclusion of all else — certainly we do create and occupy a myriad of interwoven and parallel realities at once.

When I read Yoga Vashishth I was shocked as it has lots of similarities with views of quantum physics. Multiverse is one of those. It is hard to digest, but one can feel the difference between vision with one eye vs two eyes. So, we can imagine how adding dimensions to our vision would enhance our experience of universe(s). At most, the quantum physics assumes 11 to 12 dimensions.
