Hi everyone, I would like to post some information on the simularities I have found between eastern philosophy that correspond to the wave structure found in matter. Here is a quote from the book "Myths of Light: eastern metaphors of the eternal" p.79- " After all this, having gone for forty-nine days through all the plagues and supreme conciousness down to this, this squealing thing is born and thinks it has come new into the world. But within it is the whole thing again; the soul has come back again.
This is the Oriental concept now that underlies the cults that we see.This is the aim: to find that in yourself. If that is achieved, if one manages to reach undifferentiated conciousness while AWAKE, then there are two responses. suppose that you have found the light and contemplated this STILL POND. You may let the body drop off, close the eyes, as it were, and unite with this central transcendent realization. Or you may OPEN THE EYES and take DELIGHT in the play of FORMS, seeing through them the ONE FORM. That is the attitude of world affirmation, the affirmation of every single thing, even the MONSTERS.
When I was in india, I listened around awhile to see who the wise man would be that I would choose to have my principle mystical discusion with. I chose one who lived in the world EYES OPEN.
His name was Sri Krishna Menon. He had been a police officer, not a very highly regarded profession in India, and he was, nevertheless, a great saint. I was introduced to him and went into the room where he was sitting, and there was a chair for me to sit in, so I sat. we greeted each other respectfully, and he asked, "Do you have a question?"...... What I asked him was, "If, as we know, all things are Brahman, are this divine energy, then why do we RENOUNCE THE WORLD, why do we renounce vise, why do we renounce stupidity? Why do we not see the DIVINE ENERGY shining through the most brutal, the most horrendous, the most stupid, and the most dark? He responded, " For men like you and me, that is where it is."
So now here is a topic that applies directly to what is being found at this website. We are the products of many different standing waves in spherical universe, amoung an infinite meduim of space. This is exactly like the concept of ripples on the surface of a pond. Now when we were born, we still came from this medium that has no real origin, like an eternal soul, so self identifacation with the soul/space, is the goal of the truth seeker. To keep it going, one can take the concept of the wsm and see the divine energy, or space and motion, as present in all things, even the monsters. This is the ticket to arriving at a point of nonjudgement, just seeing the world unfold around you as horrific as it seems, and realize what this all actually is. It's all nature, even the man made structures. If we are nature/cosmos, and we create things, then nature has created them through us, from that perspective. Everything is existing space in different forms, so we are taking forms, and changing them into different forms, but all in all space and motion has been behind the whole technological movement really. Maybe all of the self destruction will turn around when we see ourselves as nature manipulating itself through it's own forms and images. But that requires a GLOBAL SELF REALIZATION. |
