  • A slice of the action in more ways than one ..

    Aug 24th, 2024

    Ethical trading is an important term , just how ethical , ethical trading is , one would have to research the traders and financiers that make such claims.

    What is the Vedic veiw of trading currencies , commodities , oil, stocks, and shares . Practically speaking, this is all carried out in self-regulatory ways . it’s far too complex for fleeting governments to get a handle on .

    The overall results of the historical changes from  micro to   macro economics has been disastrous for 98 % of the population , what to speak of the enviroments and creatures who belong there , the Globalists make  vast claims of taking a world out of poverty , but were  the former localised economies with clean air and healthy food so bad ? Tradesmen were proud to work for a fair days living , you knew your local Baker .

    Today the  public are unaware of what goes on behind closed doors,  with micro second trading ,  easy access to groups of persons setting up insider trading  blocks , its  common knowledge  the dark Webb is full of deceptive crooked persons making the most of  illegal  trading ,  with not a  legislator in sight , or law enforcement  officers .

    Unfortunately, this is all far too acceptable in current times . Central governance are lightweight, with lobby groups working to keep lightweight legislation loaded in their favour .

    The Vedic view , simple , if knowing that others are being exploited ,  one turns a blind eye , casting  ethics and morality  to one side , one becomes implicated and one will recieve by natures laws , both physical and via karmic synchronicities results .

    The Vedic systems would thoroughly overhaul ,  simplify investments , making it more localised and beneficial for home nations and local businesses as well as  local communities , not for  global conglomerates.

    Because  Western democracies,  although originally having good intentions in the early stages , have become infiltrated and overly influenced by conglomerates and global finance companies, global financial powers now rule over the political classes , and democracy has lost its way . The original idea is to vote for good leaders , but unfortunately nobody knows what the qualifications of good leader are , and the  real intelligentsia are being silenced by the media companies who are owned by Globalist , all media companies are political animals ,   now  free thinking honest journalists are few and far between.

    The Vedic reformation, which is under way, will educate people to see through deceit and redirect society for everyones progresssion and benefits , the real intelligensia will return.

  • The limited can only know something of the unlimited

    Aug 23rd, 2024

    Herein lies the problem for the snobby academic with handfuls of PHD s , and the citations he  writes , as if absolute authority,  and they’ll say ,” you can’t possibly understand how my speculations are coming into highly evolved  mind and  intellect, and how much closer I am to real science than you ,”

    You see they don’t accept William Paley and his assessment that if a watch was found in the long grass , by a jungle Dweller 100 odd years ago , the person finding it would immediately cry ,wow who made that ,what is its function ,how was it made .?

    The jungle dweller accepts the logical answer and won’t think , perhaps over billions of billions of years heat melted rocks and formed metal ore , and the wind and rain shaped the metal during the next billion years and during massive historic storms the pieces of metal were shaped further and volcanic eruptions and earthquake engulfed the parts ,and then after billions of further years bit by bit  and by random events the parts of the chiseled metal were situated close together and further storm’s and erosion meant everything amalgamated and this perfectly well explained  what could have happened and how the  watch came to be .

    The Darwinian narrative of an unguided mutational process , is like someone contemplating intellectually by speculations how a watch after billions and billions of years could have formed,  and to accept the easy answer, of someone created it is a sign of weak intelligence But the Darwinian can not give any indication as to how the information evolved in the genome or how the 42 million protein molecules in each cell  might have evolved by a gradual process and how  self selection takes place

    One thing they do know the human body, and its  brain  , far out completes , anything anyone can engineer and this machine self replicates , the thesis,  that it could not have been engineered by an intelligent source , because its just too incomprehensible,  is met with the antithesis,  that where there is smoke ,there is fire , that where you see codes and information you assume codemaker , the synthesis of the two concepts is to understand what Einstein said .

    Science without religion is lame

    Religion without science is blind .

  • Evolution or devolution?

    Aug 23rd, 2024

    DR Jonnathon Wells lists the problems of current Darwinian thinking .

    The Icons

    The 10 “icons” discussed by the book are:

    • The Miller-Urey Experiment: A 1953 experiment that supposedly showed how the chemical building blocks of life could have formed spontaneously on the early Earth.
    • Darwin’s Tree of Life: A branching tree diagram used to illustrate the descent with modification of all living things from common ancestors.
    • Homology in Vertebrate Limbs: Similarities in limb bones used as evidence that vertebrates (animals with backbones) are all descended from a common ancestor.
    • Haeckel’s Embryos: Drawings of similarities in early embryos used as evidence that all vertebrates (including humans) evolved from fish-like animals.
    • Archaeopteryx: A fossil bird with teeth in its mouth and claws on its wings, often cited as the missing link between ancient reptiles and modern birds.
    • Peppered Moths: Photos of moths resting on tree trunks that supposedly provide evidence for evolution by natural selection.
    • Darwin’s Finches: Thirteen species of finches on the Galápagos Islands that are used as evidence for the origin of species by natural selection.
    • Four-Winged Fruit Flies: Fruit flies with an extra pair of wings that supposedly provide evidence that DNA mutations provide the raw materials for macroevolution.
    • Fossil Horses: Fossils once used to show that evolution proceeds in a straight line and later used to show that it doesn’t.
    • The Ultimate Icon: Drawings of ape-like creatures gradually evolving into humans, used to show that we are just animals produced by purposeless natural causes.
    • We can add ,1. mutation mathematics, 2. the real truth of supposed junk DNA , 3. archaeology anomalies, 4 .the hox gene is not the lone body builder , 5 .the mystery of the origins of information in the genome. 6 .Lucy has the gait of an ape , no transitions, or  punctuated equilibrium, speculations are  evident . 7 .The mystery of the Cambrian explosion, 8 .  The mind-body consciousness question, the work of Nobel Prize winner Marie Currie.
    • Life comes from life theological texts say , life means , thinking , feeling , willing , intelligence and planning , as Sir Fred Hoyle said , it appears someone has monkeyed with our universe.
  • “Better be a slave within the superior energy than a master of an inferior one”.

    Aug 23rd, 2024

    Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami, the Godbrother of the founder of the ISKCON , Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , was famous amongst the Gaudia Math ( a spiritual organisation) , for coming up with brilliant philosophical truths coined in attractive and thought provoking ways. The founder of the Gaudia Math Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja,  the spiritual teacher of both Srila Sridhar Swami and AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,  very much appreciated his philosophical and scientific approach to the Vedas , and partly his way of putting trancendental truths into attractive phrases

    What did he mean by the title of this piece ?

    Loving exchanges is the purpose of life ,and it’s what everyone is looking for .

    Appreciation and sharing life and consciousness in such a way that all” discord is harmonized in the absolute” is  another of Srila Sridhar Swamis sayings.

    So , rather than attempting a life of  self-centred mastership of all we survey, with  exploitative calculated exchanges with others , in artificial pretence ,  that are  really only for our benefit , because an  individual tiny consciousness particle  is  unable to fully understand the  inner  needs , along with an  individual psychological yearnings  of others , the tiny individual is not equipped with the unlimited beauty or  capacity , and does not possess the blissful qualities of the originator of consciousness.  Divinity is the lone personality who can expand Himself and simultaneously and  perfectly reciprocate a limitless enthusiasm in spiritual love.

    So better we offer to assist Divinity in His superior realm , than become a master of a flickering life , which is far inferior.

  • The entropy of the cell .

    Aug 22nd, 2024

    Brian Miller , from the discovery Institute ,  gives a very complete analysis of the low entropy of a cell . Low entropy means very orderly,  for instance a teenagers bedroom is likely to have high entropy,  chaotic with signs of high energies and things thrown around everywhere,  whereas his grandmother’s bedroom has low entropy,  controlled energy with absolute order .

    Within the cell there is much energy at play , and various systems to extract external energies from the universal energies,  but it is transformed into neat little units of hundreds of nano protein machines, each working with extream precision maintaining the cell , seeing to its self replicating process and fighting off  various invaders. Very orderly  conditions within the cell , low entropy.

    With such complex systems in play and such order in the micro world of a cell , the Darwinians cannot even fathom how this could have mutated in this way ,or how long it might have taken  , or the mutational math involved. Thus, the irreducible complexity of Michael Behe is  thought-provoking .

    Certainly in Bhagavad Gita Krishna makes several references to order and the manufacturer of bodies , and the placing of consciousness within them , throughout the third canto of the Bhagavatam,  the fundermental of material nature are elaborated upon greatly, with parallels to quantum mechanics mentioned.

  • Time is conspicuous by its absence ,

    Aug 22nd, 2024

    The Vedas have given  an analogy , it describes a clear pond with many beautiful trees surrounding it .
    Looking at the reflection in the water, the trees surrounding the pond have perfect mirror reflections in its water ,  pretty clear details can be seen , but there is a slight shimmering in our vision , nothing steady .

    Someone intoxicated might  take the reflection for reality , even though the reflection easily moves and changes in the wind . This analogy is given to give the idea of a material world and a spiritual world working side by side .  The idea is that the  living being is setting  themselves up to be supream enjoyer. The problem comes when the living being is trying to be an enjoyer of a substance that they know nothing about .

    They know nothing of their past ,little about the  present and future is always unknown , even taking these points into consideration how can one become a real enjoyer in the world of uncertainty and ignorance , that’s impossible.

    The form of Divinity , along with his associates  exist in their original spiritual forms that  can not be compared to human forms  , but as a reflection has some unsteady and unpredictable images, so our material life has many similarities to our spiritual form .

    In this world there is much beauty , much artistry , a huge range of beautiful emotions , a huge range of attractions , especially in the younger youthful bodies , ever enthusiastic enjoyment is experienced in countless ways , but  its just a flickering flavour of something,  and time  takes everything and everyone away . The movements of atomic particles and the deteriorating changing cells of a material body ,is the only real experience we are having , along with a an unreliable mind and unsteady,  unsure intelligence.

    Time is conspicuous by its absence in the body or realms of Divinity, no atomic energies creating machines for consciousness to live in , rather  consciousness itself expands into form , and exists in a realm of the same consciousness energies . There has never been a time that consciousness did not exist, nor in the future will it cease to be .

    Einstein Teller Bohr Schrödinger Feynman could understand these concepts , and the vibrations of atoms and its many possibilities , its amazing to think of our consciousness plugged into the atomic and classical world,  and that we are situated on a machine made of the material energies,  and we an an observer of our own and others reflections of a reality,  a permanent situation of happiness we seek . Two major events are always with us , to seek happiness and to avoid misery .

    When we turn away from a steady  reality and become absorbed in the flickering reflections , of our body and minds ,  which are subjected to outside elements, beyond our control , the business of seeking happiness and avoidance of misery become impossible.

  • Constitution?  Still  waiting.

    Aug 20th, 2024

    It’s most important that the framework  Prabhupada said he gave remains recorded and is set in stone ,in the form of a constitution  . If this is not in place , there is a free reign , by any future leader, to morph ISKCON into what Prabhupada did not want , some will argue,  its already happening  .

    This should be completed by the remaining disciples as a matter of urgency . a simple straightforward document , not an overly complex document of 60 or so pages ,  that allows for  myriads of interpretations ,  that nobody bothers to read or understand . The constitution should be an elaboration of the seven directives ,given by Prabhupada,  but kept to a reasonable length and with the essentials of his mission  highlighted and set in stone , that all temples and centres must comply by .

    It was his management idea to do so , so things can not go adrift . There is a difference between a constitution and ISKCON laws,  which should further elaborate on how the constitution should be followed ,  the current , and must be authentic and follow Guru Sadhu and historical sastra .

    Prabhupada. Had this conversation.

    GBC does not mean to control a centre. GBC means to see that the activities of a centre go on nicely. I do not know why Tamala is exercising his absolute authority. That is not the business of GBC. The president, treasurer, and secretary are responsible for managing the centre. GBC is to see that things are going nicely but not to exert absolute authority. That is not in the power of GBC. Tamala should not do like that. The GBC men can not impose anything on the men of a centre without consulting all of the GBC members first. A GBC member can not go beyond the jurisdiction of his power. We are in the experimental stage, but in the next meeting of the GBC members, they should form a constitution and see how the GBC members manage the whole affair .

  • On a mission

    Aug 20th, 2024

    The mission of  AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada ~ …..Our mission  and goal is to fulfill the vision of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , founder Acarya of ISKCON in establishing consciousness of Krishna in the hearts of all , using the process and application of  the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu . The systematic path to enlightenment that  He  taught to The Gosvamis of Vrndavana headed by Rupa Goswami and Ragganathha das Goswami  , its purposes are  to  introduce the methods of the Sankirtana movement, that irresistibly in time , and if one follows strictly and seeks Sri Gurus guidance,  in his many forms , ie Diksa and Siksa gurus , will bring the sincere followers inevitably to  the trancendental esoteric realms of Vraja ,  under the care of the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani and Her  family and  friends ,along with the friends and family of Krishna. 

    Included within  these all important aspects of the mission on AC BhaktivedantaSwami, are  the peripheral  and systematic guidance aspects of the Vedas , for the wider benefits of societies , this is  also clearly spoken about by the Goswamis . Lost aspects of Vedic culture  with all its social,  economic and political systems that are said to have originally permeated  societies world wide ,and there are clear parallels in world wide societies , so they can   be pointed out , highlighting the  similar traits , the language and cultural connections  that are  still within many existing in  cultures and religions . ISKCON , like  other branches of Gaudia Vaisnavism has   a nonsecterian outlook  and brings to the forefront  essentially the equality of all  living beings, a self evident truth that was somewhat touched upon   by Thomas Jefferson one of the founding fathers of the USA , where AC Bhaktivedanta Swami began his mission in 1967 .

  • Unlimited and the limited

    Aug 20th, 2024

    Absolute truth , according to the Vedas , is  unlimited , as we all know the limited can  only know something of the unlimited , its  undeniable, and a  self-evident truth we as humans are limited .  Limited minds , limited senses , limited intellectual capacities . Yet an  atheistic scientific materialism follower , with their obvious limited capacities convince themselves  in a very unscientific way , that our experiences are the sum total of life , although at least some add the phrase ” as we know it ” . But as who knows it ? Why assume everyone knows in the same way ?

    There are numerous ways to talk about and to research  topics . The Vedas indicates someone who doesn’t accept an absolute truth has at their disposal an unlimited array of discussions having objectively veiwed a particular topic and then applied subjective speculations that can continue ruminating on and on within a seemingly endless process . IF someone comes up with a truely original idea , they are considered scientific geniuses. Such is  the power of the  illusory energies that  cover an  absolute truth , the Vedas say . So  either way , whether a theological of an atheistic discussion, plenty can be said and thought of .  The greatest of all trancendental intellectualism, which  brings one to the point of discarding all  mundane intellectualism , and  replaces it for something far greater is what the Vedas call  Rasa . An artistry of ever new exchanges of pure love with  unlimited ranges of emotions that  pure consciousness  beyond the limits of matter are able to experience in connection with God , Divinity, or Krishna  the Vedas say . The unlimited speculations of  the material energies can be experienced within cyclic movement of the fourteen planetary systems of our material universe. ,  seven higher , seven lower , and the earthly plane situated mid way .

    Bertrand Russell and others are quite wrong when they say  someone who accepts absolute truth  limits themselves , the  truth  of the matter is quite different . Unlimited discussions can be had based on the unlimited nature of the unlimited . Atheists  can have unlimited discussions within the relatively unlimited but limited material energies that cause perceptions of the unlimited to become limited , covering  the potential of  a pure  consciousness and  causing even  more extreme forms of  limitedness .

  • Pride of place

    Aug 20th, 2024

    In Vedic culture, social and economic systems are set in such a way that society is treated like a body , every part of the body is important,  but the head is essential.

    In recent times, in Western cultures, beginning with the industrial Revolution in England  , and developing later and spreading throughout the world with more technologically based   economic growth , its goal was lifting citizens out of extreme poverty . It’s a laudable goal, but……

    Unfortunately,  in the past, the aristocracy had become currupt and uncaring and neglected the people , they had neglected to listen to saintly persons . Such is the events of world history and times gone by  , thus, aristocracy failed  due to pride. and somehow, society had to have its needs met . Eventually, the politicians alone took control and, inevitably, due to lack of intelligence,  the politicians became overly influenced ,  and as in current times, are  led by businessmen . Business enterprise is impossible,  but those who lead it have no intelligence as to how society is best served , in terms of well-being , philosophical outlooks and mental wellbeing.

    Obviously, the proper way to conduct and manage society is to always have a good head in charge , as in our own life , our intellectualism keeps as in healthy condition. 

    Thus, pride of place in Vedic culture is always given to the real intelligentsia who understand the sciences of mind , body, and consciousness .

    Currently, worldwide,  we have our democracies failing ,  large global businesses have infiltrated the  democratic systems with their money and lobbying groups , and big businesses have been given pride of place , but they do not have  sufficient intelligence of how to properly direct society,  their goals are economic growth at any cost . The people in all  countries , are being misled and exploited and poorly educated in the things that really matter . The well-being of all living being, can’t cross their minds , buisness men , they don’t have consciousness or awareness to understand or consider higher philosophical thinking . The Vedic culture always  made sure the intelligentsia always led the way,  intelligentsia that understood mind body and consciousness, they were aware and  understood clearly the real needs of the  different parts of  society,  and set progressive and beneficial paths for everyone.

    Academics who  hear and accept Darwinian speculations as fact based science , who do not even understand dualism or who do not understand the different psychologies of persons , due to previous karmic synchronicity or  why someone might have a particular psychology,  due to the circumstances of the  journey of consciousness within matter , and all that entails,  cannot properly conduct academics or set education agendas .

    People are just now waking up , realising social and economics matters are headed in the wrong direction,  they are looking for alternatives,  the Vedas are full of  valuable information , including social and economic matters and the science of consciousness . The time has come to  research deeply this Vedic wisdom and present the findings to the world . Groups of think tanks should be set up, and recommendations can be offered,  along with time , place, and circumstances adjustments for  current times .
