I feel. Fire - I see. Water - I taste. Earth

levels.

  • Fundamental Questions
  • If the Sankhya is so great then why havent we
    heard about it before?
  • Can make a heaven on earth?
  • What about weapons for self defense?
  • What do the Scientists say about this?

A Well Kept Secret Max Mueller Colonialismo

Heaven on Earth Psychotic Core Michael Eigen,
April 2004 Everyone is possessed of a
fundamental narcissistic complex in which the
self has become both the subject and object of
its own erotic potency. Mental
hospital. Therapeutically perfect.

What do the Scientists say? QUANTUM
QUESTIONS Ken Wilbur, Shambala, 1984 Albert
Einstein ETHICAL DIMENSION The scientific method
can teach us nothing else beyond how facts are
related to, and conditioned by each other. The
aspiration toward such objective knowledge
belongs to the highest of which man is capable,
and you will certainly not suspect me of wishing
to belittle the achievements and the heroic
efforts of man in this sphere. Yet it is equally
clear that knowledge of what is does not open the
door directly to knowledge of what should
be. INTUITION MOTIVATION This knowledge of
objective truth as such is wonderful, but it is
so little capable of acting as a guide that it
cannot prove even the justification and the value
of the aspiration toward that very knowledge of
truth. Here we face, therefore, the limits of the
purely rational conception of our existence. Pg
106
25
What do the Scientists say? Prince Louis de
Broglie INTUITION MOTIVATION The great
epoch-making discoveries of the history of
science (think, for example, of that of universal
gravitation) have been sudden lightening flashes,
making us perceive in one single glance a harmony
up untill then unsuspected, and it is to have,
from time to time, the divine joy of discovering
such harmonies that pure science works without
sparing its toil or seeking for profit. Pg. 117
26
What do the Scientists say? Prince Louis de
Broglie ETHICAL DIMENSION In the last chapter
of his great work, The Two Sources of Morality
and Religion, Henri Bergson, having reached
almost the end of his book, showed to us a
humanity in the formidable grip of mechanism, and
as if succumbing under the weight of the
discoveries and inventions which the creative
ability of its mind had been able to
realize. Bergsen rightly says Machines which
move on petrol, on coal, hydro-electric power and
which convert into motion the potential energies
accumulated during millions of years, have given
to our organism so vast an extension and so
formidable a power, so disproportionate to its
dimensions and strength, that surely it had never
been foreseen in the plan of the structure of the
species. And wishing to make us appreciate the
essential point and the disquieting side of the
problem, he adds Now, in this excessively
enlarged body, the spirit remains what it was,
too small now to fill it, too feeble too direct
it. Now this increased body awaits a supplement
of the soul, now the mechanism demands a
mysticism. Finally, the work finishes on these
words, pregnant with meaning Humanity groans
half-crushed under the weight of the advances
that it has made. It does not know sufficiently
that its future depends on itself. It is for it,
above all, to make up its mind if it wishes to
continue to live. Pg. 122
27
What do the Scientists say? Max Planck I might
put the matter in another way and say that the
freedom of the ego here and now, and its
independence of the causal chain, is a truth that
comes from the immediate dictate of the human
consciousness. Pg. 150
28
What do the Scientists say? Werner
Heisenberg (From his book, Wolfgang Paulis
Philosophical Outlook) Very early in his career
Pauli had followed the road of skepticism based
in rationalism right to the end, and he then
tried to trace out those elements of the
cognitive process that precede a rational
understanding in depth. Pg 158

29
What do the Scientists say? Sir Arthur
Eddington What is the truth about ourselves?
Various answers suggest themselves. We are a bit
of stellar matter gone wrong. We are physical
machinery, puppets that strut and talk and laugh
and die as the hand of time pulls the strings
beneath. But there is one elementary inescapable
answer. We are that which asks the question.
Whatever else there may be in our natures,
responsibility towards truth is one of its
attributes. This side of our nature is aloof from
the scrutiny of the physicist. I do not think it
is sufficiently covered by admitting a mental
aspect of our being. It has to do with conscience
rather than consciousness Pg 178
30

What do the Scientists say? Sir Arthur
Eddington The materialist who is convinced that
all phenomena arise from electrons and quanta and
the like controlled by mathematical formulae,
must presumably hold the belief that his wife is
a rather elaborate differential equation, but he
is probably tactful enough not to obtrude this
opinion in domestic life. If this kind of
scientific dissection is felt to be inadequate
and irrelevant in ordinary personal
relationships, it is surely out of place in the
most personal relationship of all, that of the
human soul to the divine spirit. Pg 207
