Imagine a world where all people are born blind. With all the disadvantages of not perceiving things that we can today, at a slower rate, we may have survived. We would have found new ways to communicate, and may even have been able to visualise the things in our surrounding, with or without any equipment. We would have survived with the skills and abilities we may have developed during the entire time humans were on earth. We would still have built a society, may be even a better one without so much ego, knowing the path we had taken to reach the point.
Now let’s come back to our reality where our eyes can see different combinations of the visible light. The best part is that the human eyes can detect only a small spectrum of an infinite spectrum. What we see as colour is just a combination of what humans can perceive with their naked eye. And black is just an absence of the limited visible light, a black coloured person may be even more beautiful than our eyes can even perceive. So are we blinded by the limited perception of our eyes?
That’s is where all the spirituals, mystics, philosophers, scientists and artists jump in, the Mind! Mind is a powerful place to be. You can create anything from a new mathematical equation to art to music to even death. People with a perception of only the materialistic world would try to explore the universe using materialistic ways like telescope, inter-galactic spaceships etc. But those with the perception of the mind, travel the universe in a much effortless way, our minds takes us there. We dive deep into the darkness which takes us to wherever we can ask for. Mind is a beautiful place, the most beautiful you can say.
Both Science and Spirituality mentions about the one energy which governs the universe and both have their own belief systems. Analysing both, I have a few questions on my mind which I would like to ask you. Are we limited to the perception of the materialistic world through the limited capabilities of our eyes and cannot see the true reality which lies deep within our minds? Does God exist? Does He exist inside or outside the infinite probabilities of multiverses which exists across time and space? What if there is something beyond? What if we are actually limited by the blindness of what our mind can really perceive?

In Chinese philosophy there are five colors represented; black, white, green, red, and yellow, which corresponds to the five elements of water, fire, wood, metal and earth, taught in traditional Chinese physics. But the green is a bluish green. All the colors represented with the range of human awareness are within red, yellow, and blue. From these in their various shades and mixtures comprise all the colors your computer is able to generate.
