As a response to unthinking religionists who had a lack of understanding of scientific dualism, particularly presented by Christian cultures, the Renaissance perspective and period came about. However, it’s led to similar unthinking dogmas in many cases , and dogmas similarly presented as truths . Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis are based on speculations and guessing, a guessing of the gaps .There are no linear fossil records. The Renaissance period is a valuable contribution in many other ways of course , every aspect of art , culture, science, and political science including social sciences can be directly or indirectly linked to God , no need of a dogmatic approach . Rather, an approach that shows and highlights gradual and clear objectives . Steps for some and giant leaps for others Thus, Albert Einstein was right to say .. Religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame. The Vedas provides the link between the two objective sciences , utilising logic and rational thinking.
The very, very broad Vedas, particularly the Puranas, brings everyone in all walks of life and within different social positions towards the same conclusions . Some immediately and some through a progressive learning process. Social and spiritual mobility is clearly seen within the Vedas . However Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has bypassed all processes and has offered to give immediate access to the highest levels of consciousness of Divinity along with His associates . The most unqualified , who would generally have to take a slower root to spiritual perfection because of a lack of culture and pious activities , are able to trancend all conditioning immediately. Mercy above justice, magnanimity one can say .
When we say our universe is a responsive universe , it’s responsive to the continuous independent actions of the countless living particles of consciousness who reside within its fourteen planetary systems . We mean, of course, there is a personal element to all these affairs . Everything is ultimately personal and stems from originally one creative personality that becomes many . This is Divinity or God or Krishna, the supreme Personality of Godhead . Every theologically driven culture indicates God , and each theological culture will find different things to say about the unlimited . Time , place, and circumstance differ and naturally their different accounts are born Nothing automated anywhere gets automated of its own accord, of course. There is a plan , a course of action, and a high degree of expertise, and engineering, along with technologies. Throughout our vastly situated universe, there are thirty-three million Demigod assistants who run universal affairs of every kind the fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam tells . There are many more Upadevas who are the assistances of the assistances of Maha Visnu and Bramha, the empowered engineer . Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Krishna. This consciousness is Krishna consciousness, says Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Another point to consider is that there are 400,000 species of “humanoids “within the universe. The universe is functioning within multidimensional levels, utalising gross and ethereal energies and varieties of combinations of them each in different ways. The Vedic cosmological picture has been well written on . Recently, Dr Richard Thompson PhD , also known as Sadaputa das , has written and lectured on this topics.. What we can see and hear others can not , and that works both ways.. The Harvard Prof Lisa Randall and many others know of multidimensional universes and pure mathematics are used in calculations to show this existence. There are unlimited points, unlimited lines , unlimited planes, and unlimited solids , all corresponding and interactive with each other . Such is a tiny fragment of the power of Divinity who has manifested billions of such universes .. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
When Albert Einstein said the measurement of intelligence is the ability to change, he makes an excellent point . In Vedic circles, the essence of all change is to change one’s conditioned nature brought about by countless entanglements within a responsive universe and reorientate it, discovering the original spiritual nature .Those types of considerations and deep contemplations take intelligence ,and God says he helps those that help themselves and further in the Bhagavad Gita Krishna says directly “I will give you the intelligence to untangle yourself and come to me “ Albert Einstein also said, “religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.” If one can understand why he said such a thing , then one will certainly be well on the way to intelligently change outlooks and worldviews . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami, through his litratures and translations of the Srimad Bhagavatam, explains all , and especially the path of change….
Now the question comes , it’s not so easy to change , old thinking and old habits die hard . Remembering the Vedic standpoint that the consciousness is eternal and has had many many dips into the material energies and has become covered over and over again , the rejuvenation of an original spiritual nature would take some doing .
It’s a fact, and Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita confirms this , Arjuna says, ” It’s more difficult to control the mind and our conditioned nature that controlling a gale force wind “
Krishna agrees it’s difficult ” But by constant practice and detachment it’s done “
Krishna says, “I will help you. I will give you the intelligence with which you can come to me . Simply hear my messages “
And Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu says in this age, ” I will make it easy , simply chant My Holy names with sincerity.” Call to Me , like a child crying to a mother . Associating with pure devotees is essential, and reading the literature of the param para acaryas is imperative. By this process, a certain intelligence is brought to bear . The Holy Names will award a higher taste of spiritual bliss when chanted in humility , by a higher taste, a lower taste is easily left behind. The windows of the spiritual worlds open through the Holy Names , God, and His pastimes are spiritually fully present. The litratures of Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Ragganatha das Goswami, and their followers in Gaudiya Vaisnava param para enable one to walk spiritually into the the spiritual kingdoms.
So, it’s not a lone process , Bhakti Devi is injected into the heart by the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu . This process is simply for the simple hearted and sincere person, and even for rouges, by association, purification occurs immediately, and the last journey begins , one never returns back to the material worlds http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The Vedas tells us of space time. Space as being the multifarious energies of the material universes made up of fourteen planetary systems , within which multidimensional aspects are functioning . What one set of senses is aware of another set of senses are not . Prof Lisa Randall lectures and writes on this topic . She calls it her membrane theory , she is a theoretical physicist at Harvard . How the Vedic responsive and personal universe makes the calculations that bring a past , a present, and a future together that react with each other , but can also make immediate adjustments so a destination is changed , such sciences of reactionary circumstances are spoken of in the Vedas . Krishna Himself, in His Bhagavad Gita, says, “I will protect you from your sinful reactions,” for instance. One’s consciousness, along with its activities from the past, affects our present . The present will certainly affect our future , including the long distant future . However, destinations and destinies can be changed , and nothing is set in stone. What should have affected us because of the past in current times may not do so . The conclusion is that our present activities can change what is going to be due from our past . Equally, unless something is triggered in terms of atonement and sacrifices, our future situations will continue to be affected by both our long distant past as well as our current activity. Or the future will be predominantly affected by only the recent past and not the long distant past . In this way , the past , present, and future and our conscious actions are deeply entangled within space time , and it behoves us all to figure out the systems of atonement and sacrifices that can help us avoid things that may catch up with us . Results of actions of course are not always inconvenient for us or bad , some could be classed as good , but there again what’s thought of as good could ultimately be bad because its brings pride and offensive mentality towards others . It’s complicated, and it’s entangling . It’s our consciousness and the choices it makes and who it follows that cause activities within spacetime. These influences can be reversed or halted . Thus, the Vedic veiw is Einstein was correct to say past , present, and futures are intertwined . We can by our activities affect the past , but not necessarily step back into the past or suddenly jump into a future, the future is awaiting , but as said before can be adjusted . However, because the material universes are cyclic and eternally in existence but created maintained and destroyed time and time again . So , who is to say that history is not repeating itself over and over again but with some variations. It’s the modes of nature that are functional goodness, passion, and ignorance with practically unlimited mixes and consequences . Bhagavad Gita indicates that no one can stop doing something for a moment. The main recommendation in Gaudiya Vaisnavism is to not get entangled in the parts of the Vedas that deal with improving material affairs or avoiding miseries . The Bhakti yoga sastras of the Gaudia Vaisnavas solve the good ,the bad, and the ugly . It says, ” Rise above the material aspects of the modes of nature offered in the Vedas for improved material lives and be established in the self , pure Krishna consciousness.
“The question of how sexual reproduction, and specifically the two distinct sexes (anisogamy—small motile sperm and large sessile eggs), evolved from asexual ancestors is considered a major topic of research in evolutionary biology, sometimes referred to as the “queen of problems”. While Charles Darwin himself acknowledged he did not know the final cause of sexuality, modern evolutionary biology has developed several, though not definitively proven, hypotheses to explain it. “
As we can see, as usual, the Darwinians are clueless. However the Vedas explains fully the origins of sex attraction and how the original sex attraction has been devolved from a higher spiritual plane and brought within the external energies by Divinities arrangements to serve specific purposes . “Soul on soul ” those situated in sacrifice and blissful services centred exclusively on Divinity, giving absolute sacrifice , better describes something of the origins of what the Vedas refere to as” conjugala priti ” ,pure spiritual sex psychologies in a spiritual kingdom with trancendental spiritual bodies . Can we compare broken glass to diamonds ? or street dog sex to the intimate life of a highly sophisticated and highly cultured man and lady ? The confidential cultures of the spiritual plane can never be understood by one who harbours selfish desires for sensuality with the body made of earth , water ,air ,fire, and ether , simply impossible. Sex pleasure within the material world is something the Darwinian can’t explain , although it’s clear every single being is bound by it and attracted to it . It is the very binding force that keeps everyone in the material world along with its subtle corollaries , distinction, adoration, and many profit calculation. According to the Darwinian, the orgasm evolved , but they are completely clueless as to how , its another indicator that Darwinian hypothesis is literally a hodge podge of ever changing speculative narratives drawn from the speculative minds .We will find every species has overwhelming sex attraction , it’s not only restricted to humans , and the idea that each species is desperate to have sex so as to preserve its species is another complete nonsense. Each creature is overwhelmed by attraction, which culminates in sex pleasure. The Vedas explains in detail how living beings who feel no immediate attraction for the Supreme Personality of Godhead or His families and friends are injected into the material energies , from the Brahman regions , this region is like the shoreline , one step takes you into the sea or another step onto the land , so its a choice . We originally expanded from the first expansion of Krishna, Balarama. Krishna has always been , and we being part of Him have always been . The injection of the living beings into the material energies takes place via the Supreme Lord and the Supreme Goddess of fortune , who are expanded as Sambhu or Sadasiva and Ramadevi or Durga Devi . These transformations or expansions of Radha Krishna appear to be curiously in touch with the material energies , however, the Vedas say like yoghurt and milk are one but different , in a similar way , so too , Visnu and Laxi do not directly touch or become effected by matter . These expansions of Laxmi Narayana provide the material bodies for the beings after being injected into matter .The engineer who is working for Lord Visnu. he is called Bramha , has been given the technologies and systems to create each of the bodies , we now know that each body carries an individual code , and we call this the genomes. Each species is generated as either male or female and equipped with sexual organs . The whole idea is that in order to receive a machine made of the material energy that the soul is to temporarily inhabiting , Krishna has kind of automated the process, using sex urges , repeatedly and automatically thd operation of new bodies are in place . The material world requires a consistent and constant supply of such machine like bodies , there are innumerable souls waiting. The time factor is added to our material activities and experiences, creating karma, death , and rebirth, as well as reevaluation , that is a healthy element . These movements of cyclic time are constantly in flux . This is so because the living beings need to fulfil their desire to continually experience , learn, and live out their particular desires . The Karmic synchronicities of their independent meanderings within the universe are taking place. Thus, the perfect arrangement of entanglements within a responsive universe has arisen to facilitate free will and determinism with the virtual machines of the material bodies . The supreme engineer has arranged a system that is producing many, many more machines within the 8,400,000 species of life . It is sex dedire that drives reincarnation and automatically produces more machines for the consciousness to reside within. Thus, the whole material world is working under strong sex desire within all species.
The original sex desire is a purely spiritual sacrifice. It is not connected to procreation, pe say , as its reflection is within matter . When one advances beyond matter, one can enter soul to soul communications in unlimited ways .The trancendental senses of the inhabitants are the same as their consciousness , each of the senses can carry out the function of the other senses. One should know the difference between broken glass and diamonds. Or spiritual consciousness and attractions and material consciousness and attractions .They look similar but are millions of miles apart .
Svarūpa means form , look around us everything has form , nothing with consciousness origins is formless . Consciousness means there must be a form , although within the Bramhajyoti , the spiritual impersonal light , its a place where the ” deep sleep ” of a spiritual formless existence can be lived out . However, the Vedas indicates that after some time in the spiritual formless spiritual light , the consciousness feels instinctively a need to express itself individually and in relationships with others , the real nature of absolute truth . Relationships we know cause an exchange of love and give happiness . Exploitative impure relationships within the material world are fixed within the spiritual varigatedness where unmotivated pure love is found . Spiritual relationships centred on unmotivated love are eternally manifested in eternal forms .There , atoms , elements, and compounds are absent . Material relationships are based on differing degrees of self-centred consciousness , and this consciousness is the cause of repeated karmic synchronicities within the wide variety of material forms on offer by the responsive universe.
Divinity is known throughout the universes for His many different appearances. Krishna has His trancendental energies, and through His Svarūpa Sakti, He manifests unlimited forms from His original form . Time, place, and circumstance and particular circumstances are the causes of these blissful and purposeful forms to appear . Time immemorial is an important word in spiritual calculations when it comes to the Lord’s manifested material universes or His multiple appearances within them , its impossible to calculate. We also manifest different forms and moods . We have been a baby , a toddler , a boy or girl , a youth , middle-aged , approaching old age , old age . Each is a different form , and then at death, the whole cycle starts all over again . Again, for some within different species , within the bodily forms of 8,400,000 species , each of which has their individual version of a particular body . In its own way , this reflects the Lords original Svarūpa Sakti, which manifests His eternally situated spiritual forms . Srila Jiva Goswami , in his Bhagavat Sandarbha, brings many details to this aspect of Krishna and His unlimited existence
The perfection and goal of spiritual life is to regain or acquire our originally intended purposeful life , called Siddha Svarupa , we aquire our spiritual form and we enter into Krishna’s family group , or become one of His friends or as an assistant or a friend of His lovers . Srimati Radharani who brings the mellows of Parakiya rasa for the pleasure of Krishna is head of the Parakiya lovers .
So form and beaulty and personality is the inherant nature of consciousness , impersonal realised knowledge is a step , and a step one can not really be permanently situated on http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Innovation is the introduction of something new, such as a new idea, product, or method, often to solve a problem or improve an existing one..
Our ever new spiritual consciousness can be accessed. However, it is currently covered by the material energies, which are imposed on our spiritual consciousness, these influences of matter are the effects of endless karmic synchronicities .The revival of our original intended potential is enacted by coming in touch somehow with the ever new spiritual rasa that forever permeates the higher planes of existence . In current times, the Maha mantra has been enthused by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His immediate associates with the full trancendental potency of the spiritual realm . This means Krishna is fully present within the trancendental sound of the Holy names of Divinity, not only the Maha mantra , when they are correctly chanted with the spirit of devotion, this is done under the directions of the acaryas in all their forms . Spiritual varigatedness is fully described in the Srimad Bhagavatam as are the activities and pastimes of Radha Krishna. On analysis, currently, we have four main problems , birth , death , old age, and disease . Other difficulties are calculated as the miseries of the mind , miseries of other living beings, and miseries of nature , i.e., too hot , too cold , floods , etc etc . If we truly want to be innovative , let’s not do it the Elon Musk way and become like sophisticated animals , who may shoot themselves into space but then forced to return to this world and all of its imposed constraints. Rather, the Vedas recommends spiritual innovation, an easy journey to other planets . This is achieved by a deep inward and somewhat innovative esoteric, carefully planned journey , the journey of spiritual elevation that leaves the material world behind for good its guaranteed to work . Once undertaken and mastered, it will bring freedoms from the limited shackles of the material energies and its influences. This process is called Krishna consciousness…. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami and others teach the complete process from start to finish , beginning with understanding the sciences of self realisation, Bhagavad Gita as it is , explains everything comprehensively http://www.thevedicspectator.com
In a battle between the libertines and those who know the sometimes hidden values of theologically based cultures, we may find extremes , however, the safest of the extremes certainly are not in the libertines court . Society is full of extremes in every field , for instance the President of Russia recently said , if your gay , fine just live your life in your private way , but don’t teach gay sex to infant and junior children, let them in their own time make their life for themselves. Ladies dressing modestly and acting modestly are wonderful aspects in many cultures, ladies parading themselves and putting on show to everyone every feature of their body , is just the external signs of an increasingly sexuilised society. The whole point of theological cultures teach that Divinity is the spiritual enjoyer , in trancendental terms and in trancendental form , sexuilised society teaches the exact opposite. Those driving modern cultures are full of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis. They are taught as fact based sciences. So fighting against the sophisticated animals, ie the libertine atheistic leaders is needed , as much as fighting against fanaticism that is portrayed as authentic theological teachings , where progressive steps are not taught , rather one step or out .
Heaven or Hell….the Vedas say there are many middle ways
Professor Albert Einstein, along with many other professors particularly in the fields of physics, have very great contemplative and thinking powers . They are able to construct abstract ideas and apply their intelligence in ways far, exceeding 95% of the population . However, they , in their intelligent musings , will admit they are gathering a few grains of sand in the vast “desert ” of the inconceivable nature of even the microbial world what to speak of universal events .Universes where Prof Lisa Randall engages in the studies of the multidimensional universes , her ” brane theory ” as in membranes of existence where one dimension is unaware of another .
Can we ever imagine a microbe understanding Einstein, microbes are intelligent in their ways , see below .
Krishna manifests billions of universes, He also manifests the spiritual kingdoms . Each planet in the spiritual realm is millions of times bigger than our sun , there are millions of such Vaikuntha planets . However, they all fit within the 17-mile track of land called Vrndavana, Goloka Vrndavana, the unlimited spiritual world . Although unlimited, it can be limited to 17 miles . Krishna or God Himself, in his youthful form, appears limited in His form , but when His mother looked into His mouth , she saw the whole of existence in one place . Arjuna on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra saw the universal form of Visnu , the whole of material creation in one place .The Vedas records the unlimited dimensions , but Sukadeva Goswami admits he can know something of the unlimited. The limited can know something of the unlimited, but the unlimited Himself does not know the extent of His unlimited existence.
So facing reality means facing the inconceivable.If you can do that , that faith in the unlimited can take you to the realms of the unlimited where love and beauty predominate , and majesty is left behind .
This is the microbial world below .
“The field of microbial intelligence (or bacterial cognition) proves that single-celled organisms are not just passive bags of chemical reactions. While they lack a brain or nervous system, they process information, calculate risks, and make autonomous choices. [1, 2]
Here is how microbes evaluate data and make specific decisions in laboratory settings.
1. Decision-Making Mechanisms
Microbes navigate their world using an advanced biological communication network. [1]
Chemical Networks: Protein path systems act like biological computer circuits.
Signal Integration: Cells weigh multiple sensory inputs before changing direction.
Memory Storage: Microbes alter their internal state to remember past stimuli for hours.
Bio-Electricity: Bacterial communities use electrical voltage spikes to pass data quickly. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Types of Choices Microbes Make
In controlled lab environments, researchers observe microbes making distinct, calculated choices. [1]
Navigating Mazes: Slime molds (Physarum polycephalum) find the shortest path to food.
As you look out and view the world and feel thoughts in numerous ways , numerous living entities within every species of life is doing the same, its unscientific hodge podge or theological hodge podge to seperate our experiences with the experiences of the living beings within the varied species .The self-evident truth of consciousness within all beings is literally that , self-evident. Anybody taking someone’s right to look out at the world for any whimsical reasons , or subjectively contrived conveniences , like to eat flesh because, ” I like the taste “, or “its essential for living and health “, or “these creatures are not like us , they are not conscious in real terms” , such calculations are not at all valid theologically or scientifically. Such decisions will come back to haunt us in the responsive universe, “thou shall not kill ” is a law set in stone . The truth of consciousness and the scientific understanding of it is taught by those who understand and realise dualism. Two energies matter and consciousness are at work, what is consciousness, the Vedas says it is the symptoms of the soul .The soul is eternal. The body dies around it .
