First Post
In order to further my motivation in advancing the "Universal Principle of Duality" as revealed and Vedanta as understood, I am going to be contributing my views and discourses for everyone to read and question. The mind is not just a perception of the individual and its manifest, it is a collective consciousness, like an Universal Puzzle, with bits of information distributed with and within everyone, humans, plants, animals, rocks, nebula, stars, galaxies and the universe itself are all parts of the all encompassing information, the information may be similar or completely disparate in physicality or experience but the collective consciousness is one. In drawing towards this revelatory principle of duality and the balance and purpose it manifests in all of creation, balance that we perceive and that we apparently don’t is my quest in bringing forth views and posts for the same.
Whenever one is initiated into a revolution it brings forth the basic issues surrounding human beings, governing security , fear of acceptance, mass hysteria due to change, crashing of beliefs and faiths etc. Throughout the annals of history, human beings have risen to challenges posed to them from either the outer manifest in the form of oppression, inequality, slavery, cultural bias, natural disasters etc or the turmoil from within, the qualitative approach and reproach to good and bad deeds as defined by culture, religion or self awareness.
In this struggle between the outer manifest and the inner experience, we find our self in a world which is ever so expanding not only in exploring the depths of creation but its purposes, journey and its end. The generic concepts of cause and effect as promulgated and advanced by scientists of the 16-20th century and the great divide since the days of Rene' Descartes between Science and Religion, created a more deeper impact on the intrinsic relationship between Science and Spirituality commonly called metaphysics. What was an apparent union was divided by the scriptural dogma of religion and the causal determinism of science.
Organized religion which triggered this divide, in my view is nothing but "spiritual politics ", and under the banner of single human experiences stands the 3 most practiced religions of the world, which in itself (like all other polytheistic/monotheist beliefs) have changed or have been modified by the scripture writers down the ages to a form, which is at times and at best, deviant and deformed version of actual history and for the present time and for all practical purposes less necessary.
When you look around yourself, into a world infested with hunger and poverty, oil and religious wars, political mess, cultural taboos, caste systems, religious factions, denomination of churches, female infanticide and circumcision, suicide bombers, fatwa and Jihads, rape, global warming, proselytizing, genocide etc, or you look into a personal world of lust, greed, encroaching tendencies, malice and deception, anger and ego, pompous, arrogant and selfish human being and you put the outer and inner manifest of our living experience together, we somehow haven’t managed to strike a harmonic balance to make our own experience smoother.
Why has the supposedly most consciously aware being bought upon thyself so much apathy? You also wonder why God(s) and his Prophets are not re-appearing with another holy book(maybe "Ingel" is sleeping) in their hands to re-map the face of human beings and change and mitigate all the suffering of living experience. Is he/she a sadist?
I apologetically defend human race as a weak race, which did seek the support of both religion and science but has not shown promising changes to its subtle being.Religion is a failed experiment and speaks very shallow of our purported Messiah and Prophets, because the followers of the Prophets gave super-human attributes to them, weaved stories of miracles and forgave their human weakness for the greater cause and mostly misunderstood their messages . Though this in no way undermines the Prophets as evolved beings or in my terminology more "aware" beings, yet these aware human beings failed to pass one important message that between human beings and God there is no middleman no son no messenger for we all are messengers for each other we collectively have to understand and realize god yet it will be only through individual experience though growth and human evolution is a combination of both personal experience and well as a group experience.
The Prophets have had very much a human existence(though some of them especially Jesus embodied the essence of God) and experience and their revelations were pertaining to the times they lived in.Two of the greatest Human beings ever to walk this planet who changed the history of human race posthumously are Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed, while much of history has not been recorded for Jesus who pre-dated Mohammed by 6 centuries, the prophet supposedly was born, lived and passed on in full view of history. Yet the earliest known writings about the Prophet written by Ibn Ishaq(b 809) the “Sirat Rasul Allah” meaning the prophet of God itself was written at least 4 generations after the Prophet passed on and its accuracy from the memories of Bedouins cannot itself be verified.
Most Muslims believe that everything said and done by the Prophet was somehow recorded in full view of history; this is not true, history is being ignored and in my later posts, I will bring forth some historical facts on the life of the Prophet (Pbuh), the reason for such an introduction is not to undermine him but to bring to light some human factors evidenced in history and he like any of us is just human a great human being and most certainly not the last Prophet.
This in essence is important because the philosophy of any religion should also be judged based on the quality of life of its propounder or else it is but blind belief.What is the need for such endeavors? such ranting.
There is a need for a paradigm shift in the understanding of the masses about themselves, human beings. Our parents leave an indelible mark on us both genetically as well as behaviorally, it is important that we need to embark on realizing awareness. We will be influencing our children and generations to come forever, our action will stay behind us and the truth can only be one.The chaos that we live in acceptance, is not the complete picture and thus a need for consummate understanding and change. Our experience of exaltation and suffering(Dukha in Buddhism) seems ephemeral and we so much need the security of God as we understand, but god manifests itself through ones Karma and among others Vedic astrology is one tool to explain it to the lay.
We, also will try and understand, free-will, destiny, theoritical Quantum Physics, Consciousness, Astrology, Cosmogny, System Theories, Tantra and other personal experiences in future posts. Like in the world of science Quantum Physics is realizing a path towards the unification of Science and Spirituality and that, to the modern man should be encouraging - for consummate transformation since we all seek a cause and effect answer to our phenomenal world. Since everything in the universe has a singularity we will also try to understand the Universe as per our needs and thus initiate transformation.
Human beings are gods themselves and each one of us is a Prophet for the other, under the umbrella of “Universal Consciousness” the all pervading information force-field. Its is my attempt through my posts to raise pertinent questions and alleviate us from living in fear of an omnipotent, omnipresent all pervading force who has supposedly laid down rules(sometimes with 99 names) among his creation and will also punish upon failing to follow, with life either in heaven(sometimes with several Virgins) or hell.
It is like a sadist who creates both the right and wrong in us and tests us to do what he has defined as right through the words of his Messenger. Messengers did pass some very applicable messages but alas only if we were machines.
