For me, one of the most important aspects of the discussion that Obama’s speech has engendered is that it is bringing out the question of government and religion. Here in India although the Constitution separates religion from government thus establishing a secular state, in fact the Indian government controls a large number of Hindu temples (…[Read more]

These are the relevant portions of Obama’s speech:

Our nations are strongest when we see that we are all God’s children – all equal in His eyes and worthy of His love. Across our two great countries we have Hindus and Muslims, Christians and Sikhs, and Jews and Buddhists and Jains and so many faiths. And we remember the wisdom of Gandhiji, who sai…

I will get to the article recommended by the new participant in the days to come. I suppose my latest message The Supramental Manifestation has been posted. Again I come back to the same points: contraction and expansion as simultaneous ‘directions’, for want of a better word. Actually my lack of any scientific training is helpful in these matters…[Read more]

Ok, but let’s connect this back to the core of the new scientific paradigm: simultaneous contraction and expansion. Hoyle and Narlikar were still labouring under the burden of Relativity and the notion that the universe is expanding (which is merely the most popular interpretation of the presence of cosmic red-shifts). Thus they had no way to…[Read more]

Thea, by the way, what do you think about the evolutionary theories of 7 root races as expounded by Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky of the Theosophical Society? I think it was based on a book called The Book of Dzyan from Tibet.

Lori, this requires a proper study to get to the bottom of his theories. I don’t think I am capable. Robert has gone into it, but was it indepth? Since he is using the circle divided into three parts we should look into this. I am just not the one to do it. Plus, I have something else on my mind now – Konrak and the sundials. Thea

Thea, Regarding the ‘How does it all fit in?’ question. Last Fall I came across an interesting study/paper on evolutionary cycles (originally written in Spanish). The author’s (JOSÉ DÍEZ FAIXAT) theory is that cycles of evolution follow the musical laws, entailing 1/3rds. He tries to show the shifts that happen at the 1/3 and the 2/3 point of t…[Read more]

I continue my reading of Fouts’ book on the chimps. It is hard reading. Finally he becomes an activist for the rights of primates. The descriptions of the biomedical labs and the research conducted on chimps and monkeys is heart wrenching. Thank God for these heores in the world,he and Jane Goodall and many others. I remember working with Menaka…[Read more]

Cremo has a regular column in Atlantis Rising. He follows the traditional Yuga Cycles. I believe he is from Yogananda’s school. Therefore his ‘goal’ is to become pure consciousness – i.e.., exit and return to that disembodied, ‘pure’ state, unburdened by a physical. The main emphasis in his column is to prove that the ancients in India, with their…[Read more]

The Organiser (1 March 2015) carried an interview  of Michael Cremo, – Vedic Alternative to Darwinism, and it’s interesting in terms of your question: how does it all fit? An excerpt (p. 28):

“According to the Veda…I am spirit, pure consciousness. This consciousness is not produced by matter  It is independent from matter. … it can come into a…[Read more]
