What is Déjà Vu?



Déjà Vu is the French term and it means “already seen”. It an impulse or a strong sensation that gives the strange feeling of something going in present is happened before.

It is depicted very well in a movie MATRIX. Neo see a cat in a mirror and in just a moment he sees again a similar cat in the mirror.

Compare 2 frames side by side. One reflects the past time happening and other one reflects present time. Déjà Vu is the phenomenon where it feels that the present scenario already happened in the past. Is it possible? Does Déjà Vu really mean experience of past in present time?

Most of people we see reports experienced of having Déjà Vu experience in their life. Scientists call it neurological anomaly and associated with “Temporal Lobe Epilepsy”. In some way they are right.

Science perceive everything in manifested form, something that can be seen and touched, even if it not direct but the effect can be seen. To understand unmanifested, we need to go beyond the limitation of science, we need to cross the boundary which science has developed around it.

Temporal lobe is a part of the brain just inside from the top of your ears, and it is important for making and remembering memories. It plays a major part in connecting past, present and future all together.
Let us dive deep than the superficial understanding.

In a movie, Neo see the cat and in a just a moment, he sees the same cat again. He was actually in present time and saw the future (which was a cat in the mirror, 2nd time). He saw cat in between the time interval of present and future. Time difference is so minute that it is near to impossible to distinguish present from future. It appears to him that at present moment he experienced cat though he was in future time when the cat actually appears to him. Déjà vu is a future travel of an Atman—The “SELF”!

When conscious level evolved, your Atman is separated from your body and see things exclusively without indulging with the body. Future cat is actually seen by the Atman—the SELF while body was in present. It appears to present rest body that it has seen cat before though, it was seen by a conscious mind and that information was stored in a memory. The future experience is stored in a memory that gives strong feeling of familiarity of the incident. It’s a kind of mismatch of present and future events which the body is unable to differentiate.

Beginning state of Déjà Vu is experienced by many which describes the incident “already visited”. When you have a strong feeling of familiarity of the incident. As the conscious level increase, time difference increases between the present and the future events. You have the feeling of live through the moment.

Something which you always liked, something which you always belonged but couldn’t associate with. It appears as past life connection but actually it is the future where your body is destined to reach. It is the distance that Atman/SELF already traveled! Your body recognized the strong connection but couldn’t get a clue about it. You develop sight but unable to decipher with minuscule understanding.

Overwhelming feelings stays for long time which enrich you inside out. So strong feeling and you falling towards it, defying all existing gravity. This is the stage of Solitude! Nirvana, Moksha. Atman is longing to merge with the Brahman, the state of eternal bliss. You crave for vairagya, solitude, and aloofness. Moksha means to live life without effecting with the drama of reality. Being untouched all through life, like a true Karmyogi!

The experience of Déjà Vu is the experience of Atman. The phenomenon of Déjà Vu is similar to the sudden vibration or impulse that occurred on tranquil state of pure consciousness and disturbed the balance of guans and the creation happened. The world is thus a mere spontaneous creation of Brahman. And the creation is not a conscious effort but an impulsive act. It is an action of an unfettered mind and unrestricted thought and this is the essence of an Atman. Like a soap bubble burst into several bubbles, the pure essence of a Brahman also divided into Atmans. This is the Ekam Satya of the Universe!

Matrix is an awesome movie so deeply researched. Every scene has metaphysical base and deep-rooted philosophy of life.

When they move to the matrix, their bodies lie down on chairs and their real self, the Atman travel in Matrix. To come back to their bodies or in manifested form they use Phone to their ears. When they awake, they have the feelings about the incident which appears as happened in past. However, they lied down in their present state and it’s their Atman that travel in Matrix. Their Atman was engaged in actions, their Atman has seen those things and bodies remember it through memories. The manifested bodies just memorized the familiarity of the experiences.

NO, it is not miracle or a supernatural phenomenon. Travelling past, present and future becomes possible when there is a clarity about present settings. Cognitive brain uses existing knowledge and generate new knowledge about present and future events.

Contrary to the preconceived notion, Déjà Vu actually is future event experienced in present. Déjà Vu is an experience of the Atman—the SELF. Memory trace the event that happened in future and trigger the present state of a being about the familiarity of the event.

Déjà Vu is a future travel of an Atman—The “SELF”!
