He began to wonder why he was wasting his life ferrying his aged parents; that he should abandon them , and soon.only when he left the area did these thoughts vanish.
Changes in the Earth's gravitational and magnetic field, the Gravimagnetic Field, could affect the mind. The brain produces low level electromagnetic field as a part of ifs thinking process. We live in an electric age engulfed by EM field. Whether they are from our cell phones, overhead high voltage wires, microwave ovene, or MRI scans, all the time, we are bombarded, so to speak, by EM fields. These human-made fields together with fluctuations in Earth's magnetic fields created by solar storms provide a number of possibilities of impacting the human thought process. The exact mechanism of how this happens is not presently understood.
Some indication on how gravity affect thought can be seen in the interaction of alpha waves with earth. Alpha waves are produced in the brain when we are in meditation or relaxation mode. These waves are generally in the range of 8-12 Hz frequency. The earth's diameter (~12,800km) is such that it can have a standing half-wave of 11.7 Hz (very close to 12Hz). Is if therefore possible that our brain evolved in such a manner that the earth's geometry (and hence ofs gravity) influenced the alpha wave production ?
Incidentally scientists have also discovered that before major earthquakes an electromagnetic wave of 0.01-10 Hz emerges from deep inside the earth. This wave is sometimes sensed by animals and could be the basis of their premonition of a coming quake.
The relationship between alpha waves and earth's gravity may have other implications. Practitioners of Bhakti yoga and Buddhist traditions have always stressed the need to allow full Flow of thought waves without any interference from ego or sense of identity for achieving samadhi. One should completely sublimate the ego by abandoning oneself to God or Universal consiousness. Perhaps this enables the mind to the earth, resulting in meditation and samadhi.
Also, both gravitational and magnetic fields of the earth, world over, vary slightly from their mean values. Since they can affect the working of the brain, it is possible that some places may be more conducive to creating deep thought and creativity. In ancient times this could have been one of the criteria of site selection for locating places of worship and meditation centres.
