Learn to forget some old habits  , develop new habits , and change the ways your neurons fire.

The neuroscientist Micheal Egnore , who is also a practising brain  surgeon , writes on the topics of free will and free won’t , you may be familiar with free will but…. free wont ?

But extraordinary as it might sound , this kind of thinking and discussion parallels some of  the talks that Krishna had with Arjuna in  the Bhagavad Gita . That due to bad habits or previous connections , in previous lives  , we are forced to act by the material energies in certain ways , almost beyond our control .  But Krishna says , by education,  association and practice,  we can learn to practice ”  free won’t ” means , my body and mind are attracting  me to do something  , but , but I won’t listen . Because there is going to be an outcome of these actions  that ultimately will not be in my best interests . The founder of ISKCON Srila Prabhupada said in his writings  ,” The devotee is very expert at ignoring his mind.”

By such practice of controlling mind and senses,  it is medically proved , says Michael Egnore,  that the neurons begin firing differently , brain patterns change ,  the secretion of brain chemistry behaves differently , thus addiction and craving subside . It has been detected that a person’s brain is working to attract the  person to  particular experiences,  but a   resistance occurs , thus overcoming previous tendencies that a material body and mind by former karmic positions would be expected to adopt .The whole of the principles of a yogic system are centred on this phenomenon . In Vedic  understanding ,  two things are at play , God helps those that help themselves.

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur, a famous and prolific writer of Vedic philosophical matters, tells we , as spiritually minded persons,  have two bodies , the influences of the former life , and the influences of this life .

If  we could see the atomic influences along with ethereal planes , we would see clouds of influences ready to move our psychological movements and senses in particular ways , things the astrologers can pick up in astrological readings . So the current body along with its associated energies , is one body , and a  newly forming spiritual body , depending on how much we form it , the process  referred to as  ‘Sadhana practice and Ragganuga practice in the Vedas is at work. Namely , the  forming of a mentally conceived spiritual form , our original pure spiritual  senses  and mind are developed .

Thus, the phrase “the science of self realisation ” has many connotations .

Finely tuned , to say the least.

When Sir Fred Hoyle said that the universe is too finely tuned to be a cataclysmic chance event , the atoms , elements , compounds, and molecular structures require exact combinations of protons in the atomic structures , which cause the set  various elements for the construction of the universe . Our earth planet, for instance, and the structures for  physical life  requires a great deal of carbon .  Sir Fred thought  it was a mystery that this all-important element should be ” by chance ” in place by an unguided unexplained big bang .“Someone has monkeyed with our universe so the right and perfect balance of the required elements came to be  in place to support life ” he declared .

Actually, the universe is finely tuned way  beyond anyones comprehension,  never mind the physical universe . Our bodies and their make is one thing , but  minds and consciousness? The scientific members are absolutely clueless about .

The Vedas say our next body is already  beginning to form ,  from the subtle ethereal electricity of our minds desire as well as  activities which all fall under the jurisdictions of universal laws , as much as we are under state laws and are responsible for our actions .  These  universal energies are , according to Vedic Scientific studies,   parallel quantum physics and the work of Bohr and Schrödinger and the conclusion of the Copenhagen agreement . The universe is responding to material actions both  subtle and gross as well as  directly from the  spiritual consciousness .  In the case of a Krishna conscious person,  who, due to  the  practice of  hearing about Krishna , Radharani, and the spiritual world , are changing destiny . Srila Visvanatha Cakravati speaks of a mentally conceived spiritual body , obtained through the purification of the Holy names , a process given by Mahaprabhu . And along side deep remberance and extremely deep meditation based on the revelations of a spiritual world are  revealed by our acaryas .  Srila Rupa Goswami ,Srila Ragganath das Goswami, Jayadeva Goswami,  Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur,  to name but a few .

In fact Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur says we have two bodies,  the one we are  currently in and the one that is forming , either a  spiritual or another material body . So the universal and spiritual affairs and its reponsive possibilities that are automatically tuned to consciousness development,  are beyond our  comprehension , but perhaps our modern AI technology might hint at instant response systems . Your phone immediately understands your wants and desires,  in its built-in algorithms,  so the trancendental algorithms and the super subjective algorithms of our universal masters are at work.

Niels Bohr , Schrödinger ,Teller or  Feynman,  would  probably not deny this type of information exchanges and the reformation of the material and spiritual energy.

In todays world  and we are all amazed at the communication powers of electrical signals and now light waves. It’s how the whole world instantly communicates.

It’s hailed as a modern wonder and the progressive march of mankind , but to who knows where?

Truely, it is astounding  but have you ever wondered about the electricity in your brain and the untapped psychic powers that it might possess . Think of Uri Gellor , or the yogic mystics, and consider some of the ancient historical documentation of various cultures . Could it be they also used electricity and psychic powers in extraordinary ways , evidence for communications , psychic subtle travelling, or an ability to lift huge weights and be able to rearrange gross matter in various ways are all recorded .

It is said in the Vedas that in this current time, man becomes engrossed in matter,  like the animals, and loses touch with his inbuilt powers of a strong mind , and the benefits that can bring .

Certainly, anyone who leads a controlled life has more power over his minds energies than those who blindly and immorally follow their uncontrolled senses and minds .

Krishna is His Bhagavad Gita gives us full information as to how to tap into the unlimited potential of a controlled mind and senses.

” Ontology and epistemology are both branches of philosophy that study different aspects of reality: 

• Ontology
• The study of being, or the nature of existence and what is real. Ontology is concerned with what exists and what is true or real. It covers a wide range of entities, including everyday objects, living beings, and ideas. 
• Epistemology
• The study of knowledge, or how we can know things. Epistemology is concerned with how we can know about the existence of things and how we can separate true ideas from false ideas. It also studies theories of knowledge, such as how knowledge is derived and how reliable it is. “
• The Vedic perspective…..
• The Vedas brings all on a journey of knowledge ,  everyone and everybody are included . Offering appropriate wisdom and systematic learning to children , the youth, and older folks . According to where ones life journey ended , automatically,  again one picks up the mantel of learning and sets off on the journey.  Specifics of learning obviously vary in many ways , but onwards and upwards is the prescription for all  . Ultimately, if we want to gain knowledge of Divinity and His sciences, there are  correct and  recognised epistemological processes and the purificatory processes of the different varnas and ashrams are given. The first thing is to become pure in consciousness by following standards alloted according to one’s situation.  Only  by the acceptance of a process will an understanding of the Supreme pure be developed and perfected. The original Vedas have been summarised into short codes and aphorisms . The Srimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary of these codes , called the Vedanta-sutra.
• Within the Srimad Bhagavatam, Jiva Goswami says are the epistemological systems of the Sruti , Smriti , Puranas, and Tantras , so everything complete .This is so because  the Vedas as a complete unit is very difficult to understand in a  comprehensive way . Srila Jiva Goswami says in this in his  Tattva Sandarbha.

ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi
na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ
sevonmukhe hi jihvādau
svayam  eva sphuraty adaḥ

Translation

“ ‘Therefore material senses cannot appreciate Kṛṣṇa’s holy name, form, qualities and pastimes. When a conditioned soul is awakened to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and renders service by using his tongue to chant the Lord’s holy name and taste the remnants of the Lord’s food, the tongue is purified, and one gradually comes to understand who Kṛṣṇa really is .

Regarding ontological considerations.

Athato brahma jijnasa is a phrase from the Vedanta-sutra that means “Now is the time to inquire about the Absolute Trut

jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya — kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’
kṛṣṇera ‘taṭasthā-śakti’ 

bhedābheda-prakāśa

Translation

“It is the living entity’s constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa because he is the marginal energy of Kṛṣṇa and a manifestation simultaneously one with and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Kṛṣṇa has three varieties of energy.

The conclusive understanding of who we are is given by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu in His teaching, that we are all , as every living thing is , inconceivably and simultaneous one and different from God .

This understanding separates Sankacarya and his oneness from the  philosophy of  Madhva Acarya,  Ramanuja Acarya , Srila Visnu Swami , and Nimbarka Acarya , who respectively taught , purified monism , ( a connection with Divinity) specific monism , ( as a servant of Divinity in varying ways ) pure monism ( indicating a oneness in love ) and one and difference.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu added the inconceivable and simultaneous oneness and difference in His revealing the pranaya , oneness in love , particularly of the Manjaris , technically called Tad tad bhava icha atmika .

Thus the Vedas lack nothing in the matter of epistemology or ontology and their conclusion.

The vedic multidimensional universe and the cosmic pie

What Is Dark Energy?…..

” More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe’s expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest – everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter – adds up to less than 5% of the universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn’t be called “normal” matter at all, since it is such a small fraction of the universe.”

Every species of life sees life  differently , even human beings see , think , feel, and will in individual subjective ways , from the  artist who sees incredible details  in nature , which they represent in their arts of all kinds , and the  hawk flying high in the air has incredible detailed vision with which to locate  prey below , the owls eyes are able to see in the darkness of night , the dogs hear high pitch sound , and whales can percieve low sounds .

The vedas speak of the fourteen planetary systems within our universe,  along with 400,000 different human like beings whose bodies and senses are designed for certain atmospheric conditions which operate in different time zones , our 12 hours is equivalent to their 6 months , and in the case of Lord Bramha , his 12 hours are equivalent to our 4.5 billion years . Such multidimensional universes can not necessarily be observed by those with earthly senses , as much as humans themselves have different degrees of intellectual and sensual awareness . They differ drastically from one another and, of course, from the other species. So we can safely say the  fourteen planetary systems can be considered parallel planes unobserved by humans , at least, that is the general rule .

Yogis with mystic power , are said in the Vedas to be able to transport themselves in their subtle bodies to other parts of the universe and interchange existences .

Marie Currie, the Nobel prize winner for her work on x rays , carried out many experiments with telepathy and knew of the realistic states of a subtle a  existence.

The Harvard Prof Lisa Randall has written many papers and books on multidimensional space time existence and the many possibilities of existence.

Yoga means to understand the dualism of life , mind , matter and consciousness , things that Plato and Socrates spoke about , although Democritus held the modern scientific materialism veiw .

The Vedas dismiss the idea of chance events in a universe  caused by  the somewhat ludicrous suggestion that the big bang originated from another aspect of an atomic realm , that somehow gave birth to countless atoms ,  that make up the elements, and compounds we see in the classical physical plane of our experience . They postulate that everything observed is because of another  chance event , meaning  the neurons firing by chance  in the brain that supposedly causes consciousness , such is the speculative explanations  of atheistic persons, in their analysis of life , which is greatly helped along by education system and the guesses of the   Darwinian hypothesis  that are taught as practically fact based science.

Speciation,  it has an untraceable history and goes back to time immemorial .

The Darwinions greatly limit themselves , by turning a blind eye to the physicists , many of whom readily accept multidimensional space time and cyclic universal events that are  self perpetual .

With that in mind, the Vedas confirm this thinking and carry the matter further , recording an incalculable number  of other universes , which are simultaneously manifested .

All  living beings who inhabit these various regions have also been in existence since time immemorial, and they are in a constant flux, including patterns of accepting different bodies within different species . This is determined by the particular consciousness , which is being driven by particular mental and intellectual  attitudes, all of which actually originates from Divinity.  In reality, they are alien to our original pure consciousness existence . The Vedas indicate that according to each individual being’s ethereal consciousness , caused by choices and interactions within matter ,that in turn are  connected to an automated process of bodily production , one could very well say a super subjective artificial intelligence system operates .  It is inconceivable in one sense  , but also conceivable , especially in current  technological times .

The material energies are ,  according to the Bhagavad Gita ,  endlessly mutable , and as such , the ethereal mind  is free to wonder in uncalculable  ways within them . The circumstances behind every living being on veiw  gives us an indication of   an individual experience,  very real to them , they develop and taste unlimited variables of the  inner consciousness and experience in every particular   body that is accepted . All  seek ways of satisfaction and pleasure.  Thus , nothing is fixed in the mental ethereal planes , and accordingly , speciation changes and adapts as the material energies award multitudes of bodies within ever fluctuating environments that  can be  forever  responsive to differing circumstances and differing time factors , in the multi universe .

As an engineer can automatically adapt a set and successful design to suit a slightly different purpose ,  variables and adapted structural changes to the engineering of the body are always going to be easily possible , thus to the Darwinian we say , same engineer,  different engineering .  For instance, you can turn your garage into a first-class mini  cinema , or your bungalow into a mansion , using  engineering’s  set rules . So the Vedic explanation for speciation is simple ,  same engineer,  different engineering , along with flexibility and adaptions but always a guided process , not unguided chance mutations. Such facilities for the consciousness to reside  continue in universal cyclic cycles eternally. As Divinity is constantly expanding.

In spiritual life, we must always follow the perfect examples . Many holy teachers can be given as excellent examples to follow . In the Srimad Bhagavatam, one can  particularly hear of those examples  and the of the  devotees’ who executed them.

This verse can be studied in details.

śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ

smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam

arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ

sakhyam ātma-nivedanam

Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of Lord Viṣṇu, remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming His servant, considering the Lord one’s best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words)—these nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service

Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given us a demonstration in His life and pastimes of how in this age these important processes are carried out simply and practically , He perfectly carried out all of them personally,  thus He is the perfect teacher who teaches by example.

The following verse indicates He is the perfect teacher , and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur indicates Mahaprabhu is the perfect Guru .

vairāgya-vidyā-nija-bhakti-yoga-
śikṣārtham ekaḥ puruṣaḥ purāṇaḥ
śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya-śarīra-dhārī
kṛpāmbudhir yas tam ahaṁ prapadye

Translation

“Let me take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who has descended in the form of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to teach us real knowledge, His devotional service and detachment from whatever does not foster Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He has descended because He is an ocean of transcendental mercy. Let me surrender unto His lotus feet.

AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would indicate any of the nine processes if perfected can carry one to the spiritual worlds , so a very broad sweeping approach to those who practice spiritual life can be adopted and during the natural development of spiritual life and as we get older some of those proccess may be more prominent.

Chemical bonding and monkeys typing ..

Some atheistic  Darwinian scientific thinkers are using computer statistical analysis with mathematical modelling , along with their subjective  speculations , and  are stating that given enough time, chemicals can  self assemble in organised selection methods One scientist gave a comparison of a tumble dryer , just throwing things  around , until magically creating perfect chemical bonds and perfect molecular structures . Such scientific thinkers , who are not  particularly educated in computer modelling or statistical mathematics are fooling  some of the innocent public by using  their speculative calculations and even suggest chemical sequencing  are the ultimate source of consciousness and the  constructions of all the millions of body parts . Basically, they are assuming that DNA coding and the perfect information structures forming protein machines that supervise the way the body is built,  are just chance events,  but that keep repeating themselves.

One might presume they are saying a million monkeys on a million typewriters for a million years will produce by chance a replica of one of Shakespeares plays . Problem is the word “might ”  in the Darwinian example  , has been deliberately “upgraded ” ,  by rascals , to  “ it is now more or less proved  such self selection is happening  we see it happening ” in our mathematical modelling , “ self selection and biological evolution is now a reality .” NO NEED OF ANY INTELLIGENT FORSIGHT or God .

FURTHER , recent experiments were carried out , taking a string of already existing RNA and slicing it in three , and adding already existing parts of RNA , and trying to get this to self replicate , they managed a 1 % purity level , instead of natures 100% purity level , that enables self replicating to take place , Such 1% purity is no substitute for the so called primordial soup or abiogenisis. . Everything must be 100%  pure or molecular structures ,  break up .

What they don’t tell you is that its wishful thinking based on faulty computer mathematical modelling and statistics calculations that are unrealistic.

It’s only mathematical statistical experts and computer modellers that can easily see the inaccuracies of the work of such atheistic speculations of these Darwinian profs . AND it fools only those not familiar with statistics, mathematics, and computer modelling. or biological and chemical engineering.

Maharaja spoke of spontaneous love .

Once the ocean came to swallow up a birds eggs on the shore , the bird protested and began to empty the ocean with its beak , so determined was the mother bird . Fortunately, the bird was a bird with an open heart and had made many connections in her life  and had faith . Thus the great Carrier of Visnu  Guruda a huge bird from the spirtual realms , came to satisfy the small bird , and the ocean returned its eggs , less Guruda took up the task by mystic power to drain the ocean .

Point is when we are properly connected to the purest of the pure , essential knowledge, help , and realisation takes place in the heart .

Those that want to understand Radha Krishna Nitya Lila cannot imitate the great Sadhus , Srila Gour Kishore das Babaji , commented on a babaji who tried to imitate his austerity and life style , but lacked the param para connections or inner workings and qualities of a real Saint .

He said ,  at child birth the mother is crying and crying in pain , but can produce a fruit of a beautiful child ,  but simply imitation  of this , by crying and feeling pain , won’t produce a child , there are necessarily many other events that take place before a child is born .

So understanding Radha Krishna Nitya Lila without connecting to Rupa Ragganatha and the param para and humbly developing the mood of devotion along with  all the processes of Sadhana Bhakti and Ragganuga Bhakti etc,  and simply  making a show  of Bhakti,  will not produce the ”  child ” of spontaneous love of a resident of Vraj , infact ,  so much misunderstandings can develop  on these matters  that a girl giving birth might say to her mother ,  when it’s time to give birth please wake me , I going to have a sleep .

Lord Krishna, in His Bhagavad Gita , the song of God , makes a condition to approach Him , He says, “Think of Me , become my devotee , offer homage and worship Me , you will certainly come to Me .” Certainly, that’s how love works , even in the material world, the lover is always thinking of the lover , or the mother is always thinking of the child .

But when Krishna came as Mahaprabhu He did not make any conditions , He freely is  distributing love of God to one and all the deserving and undeserving.

A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada tells the secret  of how the undeserving and impious persons are able to immediately purify their existence and approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead  , Prabhupada demonstrates it . He told  Bhaja  Hari his disciple .when a tramp was seen sleeping on a park bench whilst on a morning walk , that such a person and others like Him can be immediately purified of sins .  Sins which are bearing results now , in the near future and distant future , all eradicated . Prabhupada said , “we are creating their good fortune , by chanting the Holy names , they hear God names ,  by distributing prasadam and by trancendental litratures and thus all methods are engaging everyone in the highest of Sukriti activities.

Thus, there is no need for a  previous good sukriti , either karma or jnana , because we immediately are giving Bhakti sukriti the highest of benefits ,  the usual Vedic systems   required to approach God is to aquire much piety. In this age one can very soon develop the highest standards and  highest spiritual culture that enable anyone to think of Him and serve Him and enter into a relationship.  Of course, those that have got some trancendental pedigree from previous practice will generally be able to dive deeper and quickly into the ocean of love of God , but not in all cases.

Lord Nityananda led this mass distribution of love of God  and trancendental Sukriti to one and all under the direction of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , and the magnificent display of these  great benedictions were brought to the world by A.C . Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , which was very much the desire of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami , and how inconceivably and perfectly Prabhupada carried those desires out and practically enacted them
