Lord Brahma’s Universal Projection #83
The dharmic teachings coming from ancient Vedic times are replete with wisdom concerning both God with Form, and God beyond form — what was termed Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman in those times. Importantly, the connections between the two, i.e., God with attributes and God beyond attributes, proved the whole point of Absolute Existence to the ancients, described then as a single state of Consciousness that possessed the ability to bifurcate into two, then express Itself through the many — all without ever separating Its Essence in any way. Thus, when even gods and illumined souls take births in the outer realm with humankind, the intrinsic oneness of all paths and peoples gets well acknowledged under the auspice of Lord Brahma.
India’s “Mind Only School” Perspective #176
One of the principles that India figured out a long, long time ago has been overlooked by the other religions of the world, that being that all and everything in the worlds of name and form has come out of the mind, at cosmic, collective, and individual levels. This has happened via the mind’s inscrutable power of projection. In this wisdom chart, the seeds that are present in the mind are seen to be stored at gradated levels inside of huge repositories of condensed thought-power. A mature ideology such as this far outstrips those theories proposed by Scientific Evolution, as well as Theology’s 7-Day creation theory.
Kalpa — The Concept of Time in Vedic Cosmology #78
For the higher elucidation of the Western cultures in modern times, the dharmic teaching of kalpas is offered forth so as to inform the people of the ancient rishi’s way of looking at time — predominantly that it is a concept in the mind, and ultimately illusory. Also, its appearance, real or not, rolls on far longer than even the western evolutionary theory assigns to the age of the physical universe. The kalpa reckoning takes into account how time expands inside of worlds that are contained within the mind, and in God’s Mind (Mahat). Thus, it broadens the human thinking process far beyond the short-sighted conventional ideas of a very young Western scientific view.
The Twenty-Four Cosmic Principles #60
Lord Kapila’s ancient system of cosmic principles has been highly regarded and widely used by so many of the philosophical and religious thinkers who came after him. The first to “do his homework’ in a complete yet concise way, he managed to lay down the perameters of a comprehensive outline that covers all the main elements in the Three Worlds — gross, subtle, and causal. With all this as a guide, the process of involution is now well outlined for all seekers striving to return to their Source of Existence.
