It is difficult to imagine how the mind can create “dense” matter. There are two factors to consider.
1. The matter is not as dense as we perceive (again, it is a “distorted sanna“); it is an illusion created by the mind. Our vision is restricted to a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum. You can do a Google search for “wavelength band in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum.”
- Any material object is made of atoms. An atom is mostly empty. The nucleus at the center is contains most of the mass and the “electron cloud” around (with very little mass) takes most of the volume. If the atom is of the size of a stadium, the nucleus can be compared to a grain of sand in the middle of the stadium.
- However, our eyes utilize a small wavelength range (which encompasses relatively long wavelengths compared to the size of an atom), so we cannot discern that fact.
2. Kammic energies created by a mind are tiny. Yet, it is the seed of the matter.
- We can consider the following analogy: A mighty oak tree originates in a tiny seed. That oak tree cannot exist without a seed, which germinates and extracts all that mass from the soil!
- Think about how complex that process is, i.e., oak seed giving rise to an oak tree!
- The video does not show the latter stages of growing into a giant oak tree over many years.
- As we can see, all necessary “materials for the tree” come from the soil. The seed only has the blueprint for the tree!
- The same is true for a gandhabba getting into a womb and giving rise to a full-grown human! That gandhabba has the blueprint for the body, even though the DNA of the mother and father also contributes. All the “mass/weight” of a human comes from food.
