You are bodiless &
Space-less in Deep Sleep, yet in the waking state 8. in Dream appear to be the
opposite. Whatever the Dream, the only thing that has value & is worth
doing with regard to Dream is to wake up. When you wake up, do you say that the
experiences of the Dream were real, although within the Dream everyone there
would have tried to convince you of it No. Similarly, when you wake up to the
Self these experiences of the World will be unreal, like in a Dream, although
others in that state Wl|| try to convince you that they are real. Every plane
of Worldly existence has its own illusion, which can be destroyed only by
another illusion on the same plane. For example, a man takes a full meal & goes
to sleep. He dreams of being hungry in spite of the food he has in his stomach.
To satisfy the Dream hunger, he has to take Dream food. A wound in Dream requires
Dream treatment. A great king once dreamt that he was ill but was too poor to
call a doctor. Although he had fabulous wealth in the Waking state, it was of
no use to him in the Dream slate. Similarly, the illusion of ignorance can be destroyed
only by the Illusion of the Masters Grace.
By constantly fixing his attention on his Source, the Heart,
the Ego of the wise gets dissolved like a "salt doll"
which has fallen into the Ocean.
Sri Ramana Maharshi
Based on the Teachings of a great Sage:
The
Mystery Of Consciousness
Can
the we really conceive that all of these object forms appear out of nothing but
Void Consciousness, moment to moment ?
The inability to make this intuitive leap derives from failure to
appreciate the deep mystery of that one
Consciousness. Only by a serious
scrutiny of that Consciousness, can one entertain the possibility that such an
organized & structured "Dream" as this World, moment by moment,
comprises the phenomenal Universe. But
this indeed is the verdict cast by the experimental verification of the Quantum
Mechanical Measurement problem [~ things
exist only while perceived].
Nor
is it readily comprehended that the "rest of the Universe" never does
exist outside of the immediately experienced perception of the moment. And again, this is the conclusion of the
Quantum Mechanical Interpretation problem.
Incomprehensible as this may seem, this reality is directly analogous to
the Dream moment in one's sleeping Mind.
It is also analogous to the instantaneous collapse of Wave-Functions during
Measurement, be that described by the Idealists or by the objective Holoverse. For indeed, that Dream structure is what the Wave-Functions
describe.
The
"Universe" is said to be but one piece-by-piece momentary "dream
moment" of God's Mind. This
summarizes the "objective" portion of the Vesanta Perennial Philosophy. This spin-off of a philosophy is more
concerned with the subjective & may
well offer a better understanding of Consciousness & the foundations of
Quantum Mechanics. Without serious
scrutiny of the mystery of Consciousness, the Perennial Philosophy cannot be
fully appreciated.
The
Observer, is the Reference Origin for each Perception & the Consciousness
in which that Perception occurs. Everything
is related oneself 1st, &
it is only through oneself that it becomes related to another object. Therefore, everything is supported by what
? That which reveals it can alone be its
support. And it is Absolute
Consciousness that manifests everything.
And therefore Consciousness is the Support of everything.
Consciousness
goes into the make-up of everything - so that forms the Support. One sitting supported by the chair. So, when the sitting one is removed, the Support
remains there.
When
you perceiving the sitting one, do we perceive the chair ? When attention was directed to the sitting one,
was there a chair supporting it ? And then,
what was the thing that supported the sitting one, when attention was there
? It was Consciousness alone. It was Consciousness that was supporting it,
or, in other words, this thing appeared in Consciousness.
Everything
is supported by Consciousness. So, the
background is always Consciousness. It is on the wrong supposition that Void Nothingness
is the background of everything, that there remaons only Void Nothingness when
the World is removed. But a Void can
never support anything positive.
Nothing
hides Consciousness. It is present in
all mental activities, pleasure, & pain.
It is in Consciousness that all carry on Life's activities. What is not
Consciousness comes under the category of the known. “I” is always the knower & can never be
the known. Make no attempt to know or experience
it. Consciousness & the “I” are one &
the same.
Know
that one is Consciousness & then one has attained what has to be attained. Just as Consciousness never undergoes any
change, knows also that one is Changeless.
The Mind assuming the form of an Object is of the Object is Perception. When
it is seen that the content of thought is nothing but Consciousness, though
vanishes and Consciousness remains. There is no Body, Mind, world, or Senses.
Nothing
came into Existence nor is there indeed a thought that anything existed before
or is existing now. The
non-doer-Consciousness is always Itself.
One
is self-luminous Consciousness & that Consciousness that illumines the
entire World. Our real nature is Subject
Consciousness & be known or experienced as an Object. Whether Consciousness
become evident before a Perception, remain contented, free, & happy.
Review of some Exponential forms:
The sharply rising [red
] curve of the Exponential function, ex is the one looks identical in every
"enlarged close-up". Here is
Continuously Compounded Interest, out-of-control Population Growth, also out-of-control
CO2 & average Global Temperature, etc. In each case & many others, "the more you got, the more you get, &
the less you got, the less you get".
That is, in each case the rate of increase is proportional to the
current amount. In simplest units, the
rate & the amount are numerically equal.
This is one of the simplest in the category called DE, Differential
Equations. Perhaps the simplest
Differential Equation is when the rate equals 0, no change at all. The next simplest could be the rate is some
Constant number. In the next level of
decreasing simplicity, the rate could be Linear with time. Then the rate could be to the 2nd power with time. And so, the rate could be related to Time by
any polynomials, small or large simple or complex. Those aside, the next simplest DE,
Differential Equation has as it has its solution the Exponential function when
the rate is proportional to or equal to the current amount.
It should be no surprise that the sharply falling [blue ] curve of the Negative Exponential
function e–x also
looks identical in every "enlarged close-up". Here is Radioactive Decay, depletion of a
spent account, decline of some vital functions with age, etc. The rule here is:
"the more you got, the faster you
lose it, & the less you got, the slower you lose it".
Finally, the initially extremely–sharp rising & then slowing & leveling-off [green ] curve of the Exponential
function, 1 – e–x looks identical in every "enlarged
close-up" as well. Here is Diminishing
Returns of trailing off income rise from certain business strategies. Here is Diminishing Excitement in certain
relationships, projects, etc. Here is an
eventually more gradual loss, a trailing off of some vital functions with age,
etc. The rule here is: "the less you
got, the faster gain; the more you got, the slower you gain, with an eventual,
unreachable ceiling".
Logistic Growth exhibits: "the less you got, the faster gain; then a linear rise; then the more
you got, the slower you gain, with an eventual, unreachable ceiling". As it appears in its graph, this Logistic function
begins like the rising Exponential function; then has a Linear portion that
includes an Inflection point at which it changes to more like the Diminishing
Returns Exponential function 1 – e–x. The actual Logistic form is: 1/
(1 + e–x) & its middle-range "linear" has
wide significance. To some extent, the
"linear" portion appears as many of the 1st-order "linear
law" approximation common in Physics & other Sciences. Below & Above the "linear"
range, the function & behavior "distort" like the Logistic
Growth, as does Sound Volume on a media appliance, etc.
Sometimes this behavior is called "auto–catalytic", meaning it has to
accumulate some of itself to catalyze faster growth; & then when this
faster growth is established. it continues to increase; but then meets Diminishing
Returns & is finally contained beneath an unreachable ceiling.
This well describes the growth of bacteria culture in a
limited petri dish. This also describes the growth of the human
population or any other animal population in its niche when after increasing growth. it reaches its limits. These limits include the buildup of waste
products, the expending of necessary resources, running out of space, & so
on. In that sense, the Earth is a giant petri dish for the human race, & we
must admit some of the same limitations that bacteria have in the smaller petri dish. They can increase but not
indefinitely.
Transforms are typically based on Exponentials or their
"component" [on Complex Space]
Trigonometric functions. Sums of these
can approximate (especially when periodic)
various functions.
Function (red) s(x) = a sum of Sin functions of different amplitudes
& harmonic related frequencies, a Fourier series. The (blue)
Fourier Transform S(f) depicts Amplitude vs Frequency, here shows
6 frequencies (at odd harmonics) & their Amplitudes (1/ odd number, reciprocal of odd numbers or "odd"
denominator fractions).
