Science behind Baptism

Ever wonder that there is a scientific aspect to baptism ?? To understand the concept thoroughly, let's start with the basic concept of science i.e. three states of matter namely:

1) Solid
2) Liquid
3) Gas

But a Lehman may not be aware of the other states of matter that exist in the universe. These states are named as:

4) Plasma
5) Ether

Plasma in most general terms is defined as a gas that has been energized to the point that some of the electrons break free from, but travel with, their nucleus. Gases can become plasmas in several ways, but all include pumping the gas with energy. A spark in a gas will create a plasma.




Now, ether in scientific terms is described as an oxygen atom bonded with two hydrocarbons. In scientific terms, it is described as:

1) A classical physical element, considered as prevalent in the heavens and inaccessible to humans. In some versions of alchemy, this was the fifth element in addition to air, earth, fire and water.
2) (archaic, physics, uncountable) A substance (aether) once thought to fill all space that allowed electromagnetic waves to pass through it and interact with matter, without exerting any resistance to matter or energy. 

Ether is usually referred to as "Amrit Rass" in Sikhism and Hinduism.





Though, Albert Einstein disproved the presence of Ether in his "Theory of Relativity" by showing that the speed of light in vacuum is exactly the same as in some other medium. Though this theory of Einstein may discard the presence of any such element but his "Theory of Everything" (close to Guru Nanak's words of "Ik Onkaar") does give some margin to believe in the existence of spirituality and metaphysics.

Now my personal deduction on this entire process is that a Bulgarian philosopher called Omraan Mikhael Aivanhov in his books did emphasize on this transition of the matter from one state to another as from Solid => Liquid => Gas => Plasma => Ether. He illustrated this transition by the simple phenomenon of ingestion of food where he said the one mouthful of bread can produce the energy to pull a hundred wagons around the world thrice.

Though Baptism somehow is considered to happen in the spiritual realm in every religion, I believe that it happens naturally in the Cosmos as well. If we consider the ceremonial aspect of baptism which is present in every religion in the world, "water" is the element used in every baptism ceremony across various religions e.g. "Holy water" in Christianity, "Zam Zam"  in Islam, "Amrit Sanchaar" in Sikhism, "Mata rani da chhita" (for Durga-worshippers) in Hinduism etc. Now this ceremony is just another ceremonial/ symbolic display of that conversion of the matter to ether or simply based on an individual's personal experience that enlightens him/ her about the existence of such phenomenon, about the conversion of matter from one state to another, in the universe.

What your physical body is today was "zygote", a liquid formed by the fusion of sperm and ovum once and the day when it gets cremated, the flesh will melt into liquid in the first instance. So the bi-directional transition i.e. Liquid=> Solid => Liquid is clear. Maybe, the entire chain of the material transition is bi-directional and is centered around ether as:

Solid=> Liquid => Gas => Plasma => ETHER => Plasma => Gas => Liquid => Solid

This may not be a standard deduction but more of my imagination somehow supported by a geographical phenomenon called the "Water cycle". In the end, I would just say that we must keep alive our spirit of mysticism because that would unveil many things we wish to know in our life time.
