The Lost Omnipresent Symbol

Well must be pretty clear where I am pointing to. I completed the Book, “THE LOST SYMBOL” by Dan Brown, yesterday. Dan Brown has been my favorites, but this work in particular has become my favorite. It’s not the twist and turns, nor the mystic factor but the most simple and novel idea that defines God, its form, its power. The insight it provides in right/wrong, truth/untrue.
The question “Who am I” is probably the oldest question that has remained and probably the one which gave birth to the universe that we know. The question still unanswered, yet every single element we interact tries to point at something. An answer that is too simple, too evident, to except. Still every law of nature, every noted observation tries to tell us the same thing. It makes us so small, unimportant and negligible that we don’t want to accept it, not even more important than a dust particle. Though as a race we have created everything imaginable. The answer is lost not because it was hidden, but because we never wanted to accept it. Always trying to achieve what we always have, just not wanting to accept it.
I must admit that the Book has opened up yet another dimension for me to understand the Supreme Being, the Great Architect, “GOD”. It blends so beautifully to my current beliefs as if it was already there just eluding me. Apart from “IT” being personal, created by an individual, it now has an existence in many. “E Pluribus Unum” has never looked so relevant, a force that draws its power from the unison and focus of individuals, a power that is “Omni”, seemingly controlling all the dimensions. It is no more only “Personal” and has an existence beyond the individual. If I try to make sense of the verses, this has been there in all the religions. The “Mahavakyas” in Hinduism goes a step further where the "many" seize to exist. That is probably so disturbing about the revelation that one does not want to accept it.
It would be unfair to skip “Noetic science”. For me it was a great catalyst to the thought process around the theme, however somewhat unrelated to the plot of the novel. Whether or not thought or soul has a mass, I do believe it exists as an independent entity and has the ability to influence anything and everything. I believe we haven’t yet understood its true nature. The current dynamics/dimensions devised by man may not be enough to define its true nature. Thoughts as part of one’s soul may be the medium of interaction between the supreme and individual. Effects like sound, light and time may have a relation to the thoughts and its impact as well, which if true will justify and quantify the science of astrology and the effects of various rituals, verses and mantras mentioned in almost every single religion known to mankind.
To wind up, the book is a signature Dan Brown work, which opens so many threads for one to catch upon. Certainly not un-putdown-able, but very definitely a “Ordo Ad Chao”. A light that proposes an answer to the root of all friction, among various religions, believers, non-believers and believers of science “Óloi gia énan, énas gia ólous”.
