Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - There is a widespread misconception at present that the Vedic tradition comprises many incompatible or discordant ideas, that evolved in time as the proclamations of different ideologues. This misconception has a long history that began with the false idea that 'truth is one' so multiple descriptions truth must either be redundant or false. In contrast, the Rig Veda states, eka? sat vipra bahudha vadanti, which means 'the truth is one, but the knowers describe it in many ways'. So, why do the knowers describe the one truth in many ways The answer is that the truth is personal. Quite like there is an elephant with five parts of trunk, tail, stomach, ears, and legs, the whole truth is one, but it has multiple parts. The whole is not known unless all of its parts are known, and the parts are not understood without the whole. Without knowing the elephant, a blind man calls the tail a binding rope, the legs a tree trunk, the trunk a fat pipe, the ears a winnowing fan, and the stomach a giant ball. After knowing the elephant, the trunk, tail, stomach, ears, and legs are described correctly. The whole and part are known interdependently. Any attempt to know them in isolation, or in disregard of other parts, produces misconceptions. This is also the case with the Six Systems of Vedic Darsana, in which Vedanta constitutes the whole, and Sañkhya, Nyaya, Vaise?ika, Mima?sa, and Yoga are parts. All those who study Vedanta while rejecting the other five, or those who study these six systems independently, create falsehoods. These falsehoods are byproducts of depersonalization of reality and the adoption of universalism of 'truth is one', which has existed in both Western and Indian thinking, but it is not Vedic thinking. This anthology of articles rejects depersonalization and universalism and discusses the personalist description of reality.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Vedic cosmology is the map of life, meaning, and purpose. There are 8,400,000 species of life in the cosmos, and they differ from each other so radically that they live only with like-minded species. The Vedic cosmos is the mind-map of varied kinds of minds. Most people accustomed to modern cosmology find this shocking because they assume that the universe is uniform, and if life exists in other parts of the universe, it would be just like life on Earth. In fact, they define a species based on the differing structures of the bodies, not based on their differing mentalities-the different ideas about what life really is. Vedic cosmology is different because bodies are developed from the mind, and a person who changes their mentality experiences a different reality right now, and enters a different kind of body after death. Modern and Vedic cosmologies thus differ in their body-centric and mind-centric worldviews. A species in modern thinking is a different type of body and in Vedic thinking, a different kind of mind. Just as the Earth is divided into societies with different cultures, the entire Vedic cosmos is divided into places meant for different kinds of minds. By and large, all these mentalities are insular-they don't interact with other mind types-and so we remain unaware of them. Based on mentality, nature flocks the birds of the same feather together. Going to a different part of the universe requires change of mind. Space in modern cosmology is physical, and in Vedic cosmology, ideological. Physical space is open and ideological space is closed. Physical space is flat, and ideological space is hierarchical. Physical space allows bodies to move freely but ideological space binds our minds to a finite region. A physical cosmos is created like a building and an ideological cosmos like a book. We can perceive everything in a physical space, but our perception is limited by our mentality in ideological space. Proximity in meaning space indicates type-similarity but proximity in physical space indicates the strength of interaction. A body crosses physical barriers in physical space and a mind crosses mental barriers in mental space.Due to numerous differences, we don't expect any congruence between Vedic and modern cosmologies. But we don't expect to understand the mind through modern science either, because mind-body dualism excluded it at the outset. We study Vedic cosmology to understand a cosmos from which the mind was not excluded. That cosmos is the hierarchical tree of life, comprising branches for different mentalities. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Modern science came out of the monotheistic depersonalization of nature. Pagan religions personalized sky, air, fire, water, and earth; they accepted that trees, animals, birds, fishes, and reptiles were living just like humans; rivers, mountains, oceans, and lands were animate. But monotheism stripped nature of life, and science just took off from there by modeling reality as deterministic mathematical machines. This ideology about nature, created during the European Enlightenment, and later forced upon the world via colonialism, has been a catastrophic failure-all mathematical theories are individually incomplete and collectively inconsistent, such that no complete and consistent theory of nature can ever be built. And yet, the dogma of depersonalization remains strong because its intellectual collapse entails the end of monotheism, Western philosophy, and modern science, ending the so-called Western civilization. This compilation of articles deconstructs the history of bad ideas and their failures across mathematics, physics, computing, biology, and philosophy, illustrates the problems of depersonalization, and shows their solutions in personalization. When the problem is pervasive, attempts to solve individual problems in isolation are counterproductive and defeatist. However, the failure of modern science is not the failure to understand reality; it is only a failure of attempts to force-fit reality into a monotheistic worldview.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Most people have a static notion of consciousness-the blank slate on which matter paints pictures. But, in the Vedic tradition, consciousness moves-inside and outside, upward and downward, clockwise and anticlockwise, which creates rising or falling spiral trajectories, passing through higher or lower realms. As it moves, the consciousness takes the form of the things it attaches to, which becomes its memory. That memory pushes the consciousness to keep moving in the same path as in the past, but by its ability to select the six kinds of movements it can counter the push. The memory is the soul's inertia and the will is the soul's force, based on which an alternative theory of motion is created. This motion is like a person moving through a carnival of experiences, using its will to decide which booth it visits next.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the Vedic tradition, God and the soul have the same essential nature called sat-chit-ananda or right, truth, and good. Nobody wants to be lied to, face injustice, or be unhappy. Therefore, nobody can be an atheist if their definition of God is truth, right, and good. Conversely, all those with alternative definitions are atheists, even if they call themselves believers, because their belief differs from their own nature. Under alternative definitions, a person denies the truth, right, and good in different ways, then faces deceit, injustice, and unhappiness in different ways, and then proclaims himself to be an atheist. That is actually progress-rejection of incorrect definitions of God paves the way for the correct definition. Theology is based on self-knowing in the Vedic tradition, which makes it rational and experiential. We can know God by knowing ourselves through meditation, by the philosophy of truth, right, and good, by finding peace through a life of truth, right, and good, and by contrasting it to the disturbed lives lived under alternative definitions. Knowing God through this rational and experiential process is the frontier of theology, different from the speculative and/or coercive methods widely employed at present. …
