Cohen: John F. Kennedy’s ‘Peace speech’ would never be given today
No American president will speak as hopefully of the Russians as Kennedy did in 1963 during the Cold War.
But there again, Biden policy of aggressive militant democracy is currently, unfortunately, USA policy .You have to ask yourself why Joe Biden was determined to push Nato right up to the Russian border, and think perhaps, who is benefiting ?
Putin for years had warned the Nato alliance, led by the USA. It’s going too far , not only militarily , but aldo on its spending billions of dollars instigating political instabilities within Ukraine, as the USA has done in many countries , assists their Global dominance agenda, backed by the Globalist dollars they give in campaign funds .
Currently the war in Ukraine is going badly for Ukraine, a war that could easily been prevented , USA is now pushing Ukraine further into dangerous territory by invading Russia’s territory, and no doubt the recent underground movement within Russia to protest against Russia not allowing Nato to join Ukraine has USA backing in some form or another .
Supposing China wanted to place its military and political might in Mexico, right on USA boarders …..Will USA declare …no problem this is freedom of expression and freedom of the Mexicans to decide.
The USA takes everyone for fools ,but hopefully, the pen is more powerful than the sword
The pen represents the intelligentsia , societies should always be run by the intelligentsia, who have cool heads ,and not hot-headed political classes. That is always the Vedic way.
Actually, 100s of thousands of years ago , practically, there was only one culture that developed differentiation as nations and societies grew apart due to the nature of time and change and developing of material consciousness as opposed to spiritual
In previous times , and we reference many thousands of years ago , in Dr Richard Thompsons book the hidden history of the human race, some of the archaeological anomalies are featured , and there we see evidence of thousands of years, or actually millions of years of modern anatomical man.
The Darwinian speculation of little warm ponds does not at all stand up when independent archaeology is taken into account, we find that things that might suit Darwinian thinkers are brought to public attention, things that don’t are left to one side or dismissed by Darwinian academics.
It’s no coincidence that there are similarities in ancient cultures , it does not take much research to see the same themes running through multiple cultures ,for instance, different departments of universal governance ,by higher beings working under the orders of a supreme being.
As materialism increases in the present age, a new age ushers in. finer consciousness, is dulled and sinks into the gross body , finer subtle types of sensitivity of consciousness is dulled, and connections of communications with higher planes is restricted to a few .
“Although in crude form, we find in Gnosticism what was lacking in the centuries that followed: a belief in the efficacy of individual revelation and individual knowledge. This belief was rooted in the proud feeling of man’s affinity with the gods, subject to no human law, and so overmastering that it might even subdue the gods by the sheer power of Gnosis… In Gnosticism we see man’s unconscious psychology in full flower, almost perverse in its luxuriance; it contained the very thing that most strongly resisted the regula fidei, that Promethean and creative spirit which will bow only to the individual soul and to no collective ruling.” CARL JUNG
What is the Vedic view on the above statement by Jung .
The checks and balances of what the Vedic systems call Guru , Sadhu, and Sastra is a sure and steady approach to Divinity.
When these three are seen to align, then one can be sure at least a proper understanding of the methods of approaching Divinity and a correct philosophical understanding is being arrived at . This initial and preliminary path, if approached carefully and if its well practised , can bring the candidate to further and deeper understanding , especially those of the Gaudia acaryas with their realisations and esoteric realisations and writings that bring entrance into Vrndavana Dharma itself .
Depending on ones spiritual desires that are cultivated by association of advanced devotees determine how one’s natural attraction to Divinity is developed or revived , so accordingly, different realisations of Divinity and relationships occurs . All absolutes are reconciled in the absolute , and the mature scholars and devotees know these truths well .
The fragile position of an individual particle of consciousness that has been overwhelmed by material energies , becomes vulnerable and overwhelmed by the illusory energies , but Divinity makes perfect arrangements for rescue . This is carried out via the Divinely inspired literatures , both Sruti and Smriti , the Spiritual master who has deeply entered the spiritual realms , either Diksa or Siksa , as well as other Sadhus and saints , who assist with checks and balance.
The combination of individuals’ sincerity , along with spiritual teaches or Gurus as well as an intelligent discrimination of the very broad ranging theological texts that may serve specific purposes for different people at certain times or places or circumstances is required to understand Divinity.
Although individual sincerity is important, it’s also important to realise we are not the only sincere person . Many others have traversed the path of truth , and we need to understand the symptoms of those who are on the path . Those who are mature and perfecting the journey also understand the essence of what theologies have to offer , along with many peripherals paths chalked out for the sake of humanity.
So, not alone , but with others, we understand Divinity and serve Him .
The sun is devolved from the brahmajyoti. The Vedas indicate that all matter is also ultimately devolved from the brahmajyoti .The vedic term is the Mahatattva …meaning totality of matter , matter in its most primitive form , that is then infused with light , developing and expanding from atomic form into the elements , compounds,molecules etc etc . The following may give scientific evidence of how electrons play a part , we know electrons are invigorated by photons .
The atoms of many elements can combine to form compounds. Individual, isolated unites of compounds are considered molecules. The atoms in most molecules are held together by strong attractive forces called chemical bonds. These bonds are formed through the interaction of valence electrons of the combining atoms.
In chemistry and physics, valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outermost shell is not closed. In a single covalent bond, a shared pair forms with both atoms in the bond each contributing one valence electron.
When a semiconductor absorbs a photon, the energy of the photon can be transferred to an electron as potential energy. When the electron loses potential energy, the semiconductor can account for the energy difference by emitting a photon. The same thing is true for electrons. Photons, of course, don’t have any mass.
So the above indicates the Vedas parallels these truths and indicates the true worth of the Vedas and the origins of matter stemming from the Brahmajyoti .
Everything depends on chemical bonds. Without chemical bonds, everything would fall apart. And yet, scientists don’t entirely understand how chemical bonding works.
The main reason chemical bonding isn’t well understood is that the processes happen on such a small scale. But atoms and their bonds aren’t just tiny, they’re also unruly. Atoms don’t like to sit still
Modern Darwinian thinkers like to combine chemistry and physics of all kinds , they neatly call it selectorism….but select implies a selector…an intelligence to select….a correct practical selection ….simple for the simple …In logical terms , whenever we see smoke we know there is fire …..
Atoms are the basis for all visible objects , for instance…
Atoms come in many different elements: oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, gold, uranium, etc. An individual atom is far too small to be seen with an ordinary microscope, but if you get enough atoms in one place, you will have something you can see. For example, there are around 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1020) atoms in a grain of sand.
Now, the whole creation is there. Yasya prabhā prabhavataḥ (Bs. 5.40). On account of the bodily rays of Kṛṣṇa, Govinda, which is called brahmajyoti… Just like on account of the sunshine, the whole universe is existing. So similarly, there is a shine, bodily shining, what is called brahmajyoti. So when the brahmajyoti is there, then innumerable universes are created. Yasya prabhā prabhavataḥ (Bs. 5.40)
Maya , nyaya, and the philosophical treaties of the Srimad Bhagavatam, a natural commentary of the codes of the vedanta sutra…
In simple terms, if smoke is seen in a distant mountain, one can infer there is fire or if someone found a watch in the long grass in the eighteenth century, naturally a watch maker would be assumed…( see William Paley )
Similarly, the simple arguments that the complexity of a single cell ,with hundreds of nano machines, each performing different functions , implies a designer , following the logic , wherever you find codes it logically applied there must be a code maker , ie , dna codes that produce protein machines , thousands in each cell , that cause the cell to self replicste and build your body , and likewise the bodies of every living thing . In ancient nyaya logical systems of argument, any teleological arguments certainly would be taken as rational and logical and should be today , one should ignore Richard Dawkins when he says ” you should ignore what appears to be intelligentsia in creation “
In a discussion about searching for truth , the main qualifications for participation is that persons are sincerely looking for truth , if a discussion takes place where one or two of the participants are affected by a subjective biased opinions , its unlikely truth will be found or accepted by them
If persons are sincere searchers for truth , and can conduct discussion in logical ways ,….truth actually is self evident to a sincere seeker it is said , and after careful debate with honest persons ,truth will be realised and accepted ,
Thus, the old adage seek and thy shall find can be applied , and in Nyaya, its a reality.
Those who are attached and proud of their speculative meanderings are caught up in the subtleties of Maya , “somethings that is not.” The literal sanskrit meaning of the word maya
Divinity is known by His unlimited names. He also has unlimited potency and these are exhibited throughout the material and spiritual universes.
Sir Fred Hoyle , after some time came to the right conclusions when he thought someone has monkeyed with our universe, everything is precisely situated, the Goldilocks phenomena, not too hot ,too cold etc, etc .
So, along with such arrangements are connections between mind and matter , the mental state on an ethereal plane is automatically connecting us with either a permanent arrangement , ie a spiritual plane or a temporary arrangement ie the material plane, we have free will .
The quality and bliss found in a selfless spiritual plane is greater that the selfish sense gratification exhibited on a material plane , so intelligence needs to be applied before our mind takes our bodies to a destiny that may not suit our inner most desires for happiness and love permanently exhibited .
There is absolutely no evidence that matter came before consciousness . In our own experiences, life comes from life , Sir Fred correctly assessed the perfect arrangements and laws governing the universe, which was an intelligent arrangement too perfect. He knew that matters has no ability to organise itself. Molecules don’t move towards life.
The origins of everything are Krishna, the original personality of Godhead, He has unlimited attributes within which are displayed in unlimited ways throughout the spiritual and material realms .
The most attractive and captivating features of life is said to be the attraction between lovers , it overwhelms all other emotions and is a cause of the greatest happiness or distress .
Radha Krishna eternal pastimes and their eternal dance along with their associates , with all the intrigues of the twists and turns of love, are delineated in the writing of the six Gosvamis, who ,although appearing as men in the 15th century , were actually , internally in their spiritual forms , in their original spiritual forms as young girls who are the assistants and intimate friends of Srimati Radharani.
Anybody hearing and entering into the spirit of their literatures under the guidance of a pure devotee can be freed from mundane lust and be transferred into a spiritual realm as an assistant and relisher of the mellows of the every new but most ancient love affairs of Radha Krishna.
Any astrological influence can be overcome by counteracting various influences. The Vedic King’s did regular sacrifices , for the sake of purification and avoidance of ill effects because of their involvement in some inauspicious activities of the citizens. Similarly, our free will meanders through life with certain somethings with the effects of inauspicious influences from.previously performed impious actions and the Vedas recommend sacrifice and pioneer actions to countact the insuperable effects .
What to speak of devotional acts …which are trancendentally auspicious and have the effects of eradicating all the effects of pious or inpious actions from many lives , and reawaken the original pure spiritual form of the living being , the effects of all.types of Karma are removed . Thus, life is never predestined … Although some very well established reactions called prabha karma are difficult to change…but by devotional service, they are also eradicated …the Gaudia vaisnava.acaryas say , particularly the service of chanting in love and devotion the names of Divinity. Ultimately devotees don’t say..
“When’s my karma gonna change..”
They get on with their devotional lives, and are absorbed in trying to cultivate a spiritual body and spiritual attitudes, their interests are in a forward direction and in pleasing Radharani and Krishnas devotees ,and with cultivation of a spiritual identity, , they don’t care for and are unaffected by any trivial effects of either good or bad karma ,
The Vedas has much to say on this topic, the third canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam ,the chapter entitled fundermental principles of material nature, shows that consciousness is the driver of matter and produces matter ,and not as Darwinian thinkers say , that matter produces consciousness. , subjective evolution is the name of the game, a mind and activities causing atoms ,elements, compounds and molecules to form , the cause of ACTG of the genetic code ,structural protein machines, nano machines within the cells , with supplied information to form your tailored machine , just the way your historic movements of your mind and activities took you .
Quantum mechanics and the endless possibilities of free will working within matter with an active mind connected to matter by arrangement and supervision of another consciousness is spoken of clearly in Bhagavad Gita and the engineers and the engineering of all species ,
