Is deep sleep like meditation?

Sleep remains a mystery despite all the research done so far. Science says it helps to consolidate our memories and remove unnecessary information. That during sleep, when inputs from our five senses are almost zero, the ‘mind-brain’ takes stock and helps consolidate memory learned during the day. However, Dr. Rajvanshi thinks we sleep because it is like forced meditation; it invigorates and charges our batteries. In this podcast, Dr. Rajvanshi talks about how deep sleep is similar to meditation and how it helps in charging our body. He also explains how we can induce deep sleep.

Time and universal consciousness

This podcast is the chapter 3 from the book “Nature of human thought“ by Dr. Anil Rajvanshi. A conceptual framework is attempted in this book to show how deep human thought, space, time, matter and Universal Consciousness are related. Time is a strange thing. It is everywhere and is always running and always goes in one direction -forward. All living entities have a concept of time. In fact, consciousness is a result of time. Imagine that time can be removed from and introduced into the universe. In that case, the total time in the universe will be constant. This sounds weird but discussed in this podcast.
