    Loved this lecture. I've always thought that the mystics in every spiritual tradition have been waiting patiently for science to realize that the empirical method which has brought us quantum mechanics points to the same Great Reality that every human being can know through direct experiential knowing.

    I believe it confuses people when we say that reality is an illusion. They think, “Yeah, right. I’m in a horrible car accident and wind up bloody and mangled in the hospital. And that’s just an illusion?”
    This place is real as hell while we’re here; it has to be in order to function properly. So perhaps a better way to make this point is to say that matter is not fundamental. And that there is a non-physical force (spiritual or otherwise) that is generating this seemingly solid environment.

    A very interesting video and of special interest is the explanation of virtual states of atoms and molecules at 15:54 of this video. It reminds me of satkaryavada of Samkhya and even more of Patanjali's descriptions of parinama in vibhuti pada sutras 13, 14, and sutra 12 of kaivalya pada. Sutra 13 and 14 bk2 states etena bhutendriyeshu dharma lakshanAvastha parinama vyakhyata - shantodityAvyapadeshya dharmAnupati dharmi -by this is explained the transformation of property (or we could say phenoumena as dharma is sometimes used in abhidharma of Buddhism), time-phase and state in the instruments and the elements - the substance ( the holder-dharmi) follows or conforms with the properties (dharmas), be they subsided, arisen or indeterminate (potential). So satkarya is the doctrine that the effect exist within the material cause so a property or dharma can be either arisen, which we call the present, in potential, which we call the future or it can be subsided which we call the past. Patanjali says in bk 4 sutra 2 jatyantara parinamah prakriyApurat -due to the overflowing of the evolvent (prakriti) there is a change of type. bk4 sutra 3 nimittam aprayojakam prakritinam varana bhedas tu tatah kshetrivat - the conditional cause is not the impeller of the evolvents (prakrit in plural form, in samkhya a prakriti is an evolvent that evolves other tattvas, a vikriti is an evolute that has evolved from an evolvent, that is why prakriti here is plural, some tattvas are both prakritis and vikritis, and some are only vikritis namely the visheshas or the particularized) but merely pierce the barrier like the farmer (irrigating ) the field. Like the flooded field surrounded by the mounds of earth, when the barrier is breached the water flows by its own force, so is the conditional cause which removes the barrier to a change in dharma. Then the arisen Dharma subsides back to the svarupa (virtual state), and is replaced with another appropriate dharma, according to the new conditional cause. The video calls the dharmas which are either in potential or subsided in the svarupa as "in the virtual state". Sutra 12 bk 4 states atitAnagatam svarupato'styadhva bhedad dharmanam -the past and the future exist in the virtual state (svarupa) due to the different paths of the properties. So the properties always exist in the substantial cause, as in satkaryavada, and as it is explained here in this video on quantum physics. The video says basically something can not come from nothing...it already exists in the virtual state. Same as satkarya and in the causation as explained by Patanjali. I hope I have written this in a understandable way for people! Thanks for reading!

    @brandondalton113 2 года назад +1

    Where I disagree is where he said that it's stupid to believe that life evolved out of nothing. The reality is that it's a paradox. There is both everything and nothing, always and never. Even if you were to trace all invisible forms and patterns, you would always have the question of "but what created that? And then what created the thing that created that?" And it would go on forever. That is to say there is infinite depth in everything. Meaning that there is both a source to everything, but the source has no origin, since it is eternal and there is always a deeper level/form/pattern to everything. Knowledge is a bottomless pit. Tbh I don't know how any deep thinker doesn't come to this conclusion.

    The Absolute is the all in one in all.
    Reality = that which is - continuum

    Existence = actual
    Being and Existence are the twin poles or extensions of the Reality Continuum.

    The missing link here is the intangible part of the theory that is not seen. By most people. I, on the other hand ✋, have problems related to temporal rifts of space-time. I have had them in 2003 and this year took the cake and smeared it on my face. I had been experiencing fifth dimensional issues when under stress relating to lies. Hard to believe, but I have the closest thing to what would be eidetic memory and lies create horrendous disfigurement of my inner matrix of perception. Stress is also a trigger. Any emotions connct me to intense memories so strong, temporal schisms develope in my experiential reality. I interact with solid things that I can tell you are not in this linear timeline we share and I am not sure if you are here with me anyhow, if I have already switched to an alternate. I digress, I am here and people around me are authentic people. That is the illusion in my life:to stabilize, I simply accept the futures I see, and I I will choose the best. And I disallow wondering about the space in my head where these things happen. There, cured.

      And I realize that at the time, I was not entirely good at understanding my experiences.In effect,I see things in the future in visions.They are probable futures,as opposed to possible and depend on what decisions I make if one becomes a reality. So far,its more like I just remember the ones that come true as they happen and ignore the others. But they are clear and exact with time perfectly in synch with the vision. I have excellent subconscious recall, where I believe others store their precognitive visions as well.

    I want to amend my last comment by stating that, yes, there is SPACE in that the fifth dimensional union (or field, actually) exists everywhere in the universe. It was in existence before linear time and matter. The infinite nothing duration came to a point, or a sizable area, where stasis gave way to somthing of awareness of a consciousness without form or mass. A field developed, in my theory of Initial Wave or Multimetric Synchronous Convolution.

      Hi. I believe he stated that greed and violence became virtues in the society as a result of materialism and the Darwinian worldview. Hitherto they were certainly present, but not usual celebrated the way moderns (at least in Western world) currently do.

    • @TruthGatherer2013
      @TruthGatherer2013 4 года назад +1

      absolutely it comes out of materialism of "survival of the fittest".
      I'll quote Albert Pike here
      “We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil."
      So materialistic religions/beliefs (worst of all religions is government though, cause it literally means "to control mind" when you break it down from the 2 latin words that it comes from "gubernare" and "mente") results in harm to others, cause they believe that it's everyone for themselves, hence big part of why the world is so f-ed. its because, they're being programmed with a satanic mind set of "me! me! me!" and I see this everywhere... it's not school education, it's school indoctrination. Cause if you don't answer the way they want you to, then you fail and you go "oh no, what am I gonna do now with my life? what will my parents think? what will my friends think? what about my overall status???!... Hence no freedom of choice to choose your own path in life, and only living in fear of what others think of you and trying to adjust to it...
      "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
      -Jiddu Krishnamurti
      so I absolutely know (I don't "think" that I know) that materialistic religions are nothing but poison, cause it brings a poisonous world into manifestation. and how we are within, reflects out (manifests)
      input-processing-output (the trivium)
      input: you take in all information without pre-judging it
      processing: you go through it
      output: you manifest it
