"Shrikantha S. Shastry" wrote...
in message om... . . . i have no basis from which to accept that there is such a thing as an infinite consciousness within me. Those who have supposedly reached this level of so-called enlightenment are apparently self-deluded. It is the epitome of hubris to think that humans are capable of anything more than what we can accomplish in our lifetimes... however long those lifetimes may be. It is sufficient to know that your consciousness has the reach even beyond the universe. What is beyond(!) universe? I disagree. It is *not* sufficient just to "know" this. If my consciousness has this power, this "reach" even beyond the universe, then knowing this must be *much* more than mere blind acceptance of this as fact. For once you go to try to prove this to yourself, you find out either that you have been temporarily delusional (and the truth snaps you out of it), or you don't find out a thing... you simply wind up in a mental health institution... or you commit suicide. So i must ask you to be very careful, Shastry, should you ever attempt to prove that you yourself have this power. Wouldn't want to lose you! It is from this singular consciousness the whole universe 'seems' to originate as illusory. As such, there is no need of creation and evolution for such an illusory universe. And so, bigbang(or other) creation and evolution can neither be persued in science nor can they be taught as science in schools and colleges. You seem very sure of yourself on this part. And cheers to you for your persistence. But as i have mentioned many times... this is all part of your personal delusion. No one, NOBODY on Earth knows the makeup of the real universe. We have not experienced it yet. We have only that which we can measure, Shastry. If we cannot measure it, then it has only a shadow of meaning. If it can be derived, then you are halfway "there." If it can be measured, then you have "arrived." You cannot depend only on the measurements, the nature of the universe has to be known at first to determine how far can they be depended upon. There may be more truth in this your statement than science would care to accept. However, *if* the alternative is to sit around all day praying and meditating, or "contemplating" my smelly belly button, then i'm afraid that i would prefer to do the measurements. One can only derive a singularity using pure mathematics. Singularity is not derived it occurs at zero point. A singularity most certainly *can* be derived by math and by science. This is how we originally theorized the existence of singularities in nature, which then led us to reverse time and in our minds envision the Big Bang origin of the universe. You, my friend, would have never even heard of the word "singularity" if it hadn't been for its origin in astronomy. And this brings me to an interesting point... If astronomy had never invented the term "singularity," what would you be calling it in this conversation? So the first half of our trek is done. The second half is trickier, for we must find a meaningful way to measure a singularity, and then we must find a singularity and measure it. Measurement of singularity? If this sounds odd to you, it is because we have not yet come up with a way to sense a singularity in nature. Yes, we have designed ways that we think allow us to find and measure things like neutron stars and black holes, but these are not technically singularities... they are natural objects that seem to be very similar... sort of "almost" singularities. Yet until we are able to firmly theorize what happened in the first few nanomoments of the Big Bang and before, we will stay in the dark where measurements of a real singularity are concerned. To accept the existence of a singularity without painstakingly measuring it to confirm its actual properties is to chase after wild geese, while the family stays at home and starves. How can anyone measure singularity? Our gut feeling is that we are on the right track when we study things like neutron stars and black holes. Closer studies of such natural "almost" singularities might shed light on what to look for in a real singularity. Frankly, it is my unscientific insistence and opinion that the search for a singularity in nature, and therefore the theory of a singularity erupting into a Big Bang type of creation, is as productive as a castrated bull. Such theorizing is just too cut and dried, and yet too complex and difficult to understand to be the natural way our universe came into being. So just as it is meaningful to know the origins of the great river that sustains the population, it is meaningful for science to learn the origins of the universe. And it is natural for people to impart their ideas to students in hopes that one or more of them will build upon this knowledge and win victories for all humanity. One cannot win victories on delusory teachings. Then, since victories *have* been won over the past centuries of human existence, we must conclude that these teachings are not delusory. We must conclude that the more we learn about what you are calling "illusory" and "delusory," the better equipped we are to fight and to win the battles of humanity. And if you are proposing that we sheeply accept that this is not true, then what is your alternative? What future actions are you suggesting that we members of humanity take to fall into this, your own version of how the universe works and how we must behave? What victories can you bring to the world that may spring from your esoteric and mysterious singularity? What victories can you bring to the world which deludes you as to believe in (bigbang or other)creation and evolution? And so, wake up and smell the.....in creation and evolution! S S Shastry These subjects, "big bangs" and in general, creation and evolution (religion and science) inject a "tension" into people. If nothing else, they compel people to think. And there is much good in thinking... i think. Don't you think? happy days and... starry starry nights! -- a Secret of the Universe... so please don't breathe a word of this-- the Moon above will smile perverse whene'er it sees true lovers kiss; (breathe not a single word of this!)

From Painius (to Shas):
If astronomy had never invented the term "singularity," what would you be calling it in this conversation? It looks like he's lifted the term 'singularity' from the modern lexicon and used it synonymously with the _object_ of the ancient yogic disciplines. Namely, a 'yoking' or a union with the Absolute, Atman, or 'the Divine'. It's a state of blissed-out consciousness variously called 'Samadhi', 'Satori', Shakti, 'Holy Ghost' etc. etc. Ol' Shas however, comes across tellng *about* that state while never having experienced it.. much like a blind man, blind from birth, talking *about* sightedness while having never having had sight. In short, Shas sounds like a Westerner who's taken a Hindi name and is trying to "play guru" without having a clue how to achieve the experience of Singularity he espouses. oc |

Now, from my posts in this and connected thread, it is up to you to recognise the singularity as real, the universe as illusory and so, its creation and evolution as delusory, without mixing them up adding to your confusion. Your arguments about the measurements, unfortunately, cannot make the illusory universe, real. As such, delusory creation and evolution are inevitable in the illusory universe. And so, Painius, wake up and smell the.......in creation and evolution of the universe. S S Shastry |

Hi Painius A singularity comes out of our ability to trace the evolving
done by gravity back in time. It takes us to the very beginning of creation. When space and time were a point. We call this point by giving it a name,and its name is "singularity" Painius thinking back in time is like running a motion picture backwards lets go back where gravity has created an "accretion disk" We visualize this disk as a cloud of matter swirling around(vortex) and going into a blackhole(yes) Now lets go with this added ending thought. The accretion disk has squeezed matter so hard that it takes up no room as relative to the macro universe. This infinite small size is inside the inner dimensions of the quantum fabric of space. It fits Bert PS I'm using the word matter here,but thinking only of sub-microscopic particles that make up the structure of quarks. |

From Shas:
You, coot, are unable to understand the real meaning of singularity... What is singularity after all? The current void-space paradigm(VSP) which is the bedrock axiom of science, deals in the plethora of disparate _effects_ with no recognition of One Force as _cause_ of all effects. The Unified Field of Spatial Flows recognizes that One Force as the 'supra-cosmic overpressure'(SCO), driving the flow of space into all atomic nucleii, generating the _effects_ we call the fundamental forces, and making the universe do everything that it does. Recognizing the reality of the spatial medium and the SCO, then, would be one definition of 'Singularity'. The other definition of singularity would be that 'dimensionless' point at the core of every proton and black hole that 'vents' into the 'ground state' from whence the BB emerges. But under the VSP, there is only a universe of diverse and disparate effects, no _cause_ , no unification, no 'Singularity'. ,,,you cannot say the word is lifted from the misinterpreted singularity of physics. Well where did you lift it from then? oc |
