"But do never proclaim this word to him who does not repent, nor honor me,nor listen to me,
who mutters against me again and again", Bhagavad Gita 18
Modern science has refuted most of the ancient myths and
religious cosmologys and
cosmogonys of the creation of the world, which established the basic order of the human cultures.
Only in Hinduism and in Taoism exist hints on a cosmic order within a spiritual context.
Modern astronomy shows us the model of a
universe
with a diameter of more than 25 billion lightyears(1 lightyear = 10^13 km) and with
the form of a flat ball (infrared background measurement).
Until today astronomy knows over 1 000 000 000
galaxys or similar objects. In our
galaxy exist over 1 000 000 000 suns ....
Several mathematicians said that it is statistically unprobable that
there is life in other parts of the universe (because of the specific conditions
that life needs to exist) - but they forget that we are not probable then either.
Other scientists speak of 20000 solar systems, for which a probability exists, that
organic life exists - and many
exoplanets have already been found.
UFO-NOTICE:
Modern science teaches a naturalistic philosophy and has developed a
philosophy of science.
But the scientists do not know what is behind creation, or whether there is something behind all existence -
and of whom and how the energy has been created.
Even the "
Relativitätstheorie" of Albert
Einstein is only one modern and still incomplete model.
The common explanation with the
"first bang" would mean that we
came out of an oscillating NOTHING - but that is not logical either. Modern theories of an oscillating universe stand in contradiction to the
hinduistic model of periodic
yugas and kalpas where the material worlds exist only very short in comparison
to the spiritual worlds.
Modern physics has now new mathematical models like
Superstringtheorie
and Quantum mechanics
which use more than 3 dimensions(a maximum of 10even dimensions) and can even explain gravity with that.
(Hinduism teaches similar that the world hangs on the threads of
KARMA, but on a higher plane.)
Modern
natural science is now doe to progress in
chemistry able to analyze man down to the genetic level and sees him as a
highly evolved genetic pattern which
needs a society to ensure his evolution which is not possible in the nature but only within
a culture and the education and the safety of a society.
The modern human beeings can so be seen as a purely biological product which is now able to analyse
itself with his reason and manipulate itself and has inspite of modern
enlightenment problems to
find the right ethic rules while
it tries to leave the rules of nature behind.
But are we really so modern and progressive ?
Modern scientists have found many laws of the material plane and were able to use them for
a better life, and scientists and technicians have developed unknown technologies - but
the majority of mankind lives in concurrence with each other.
Mankind has developed its mind but not the soul - which does not exist for
science - and which is dying und mostly already has died and exists as a
gray shadow .
Until some centuries ago western religions beleived that our earth is flat
- until Galilei
came - as an heretic.
The western exoteric religions beleived that the earth is flat, but in asia this
was different, because the world views were created by enlightened masters and Sadgurus:
In trantric hinduism we find drawings of Lord Krishna who fills out the Universe
and is much bigger than the universe on a higher plane of creation, as well as
drawings of the spiritual "cosmic man".
There are descriptions of stars which circle within 100000s of years around higher systems of stars.
In the Shrimad Bhagavatam (Book3)
stand detailed descriptions of the time-cycles of the universe inclusive of the higher worlds
(Further under "Kashmir Shivaism" on this website )
In Buddhism exists the teaching of " Microcosm and Macrocosm".
In Zen-Meditation "Sartori" means to see the smallest things(the "Anu" - which is not the neutron
or the quarks but much higher), and true enlightenment means to see and be ONE with the Universe.
True divine masters can even see much further than that.
In Kashmir-Shaivism the world is built up with shells.
Several hinduist masters spoke of millions of universes(Brahmandas) and told us about
higher worlds as the background of our physical existence.
The majority of the eastern
cosmologies had been developed by enlightened persons or even by true masters who
had the knowledge from personal experience of from the divine hierarchies.
The eastern religions see man as a carrier of his
soul who is bound to his
Karma and his Dharma - his destination. They developed methods to develop the spiritual soul and to
liberate it from the influences of the lower planes of
creation(Moksha).
The comparable hermetic teachings in the old western cultures have been kept secret because
of the influence of the christian churches. Most modern people in the west
laugh about these teachings because their soul is nearly dead and
they are slaves of their body and their wishes and dreams which they want to fulfill and they
look at these spiritual teachings as a superstition from ancient times.
Success counts for them, their souls have styled primitive wishes and visions.
In many regions of asia is the religion slowly dying because of western influences and
because people dont understand their own religions which have not been able
to make themself understandable to realizing reason.
They were and are blinded by the possibilities of modern science.
There are new
christian movements and oriental and asiatic religious movements with millions of people.
But these movements are mostly meetings of people who flee into religion as a
safe place in a too modern and intolerant world.
Therefore these movements consist mostly of simple people who do not really change the spiritual climate
of our planet. Real religions would lead people on the path to be at least a "spinner of the wheel",
but the majority of mankind is sunk in their bodies and does therefore not want a spiritual developement.
A further disadvantage of these movements is the modern interpretation of
the scriptures of their founders, which were either written for their specific time
and culture or were symbolic stories of the path.
Many movements have their basis in the interpretations of the successors of
the founder. Therefore give these religions a separatistic feeling of the rebirth
of the specific religion, which is catastrophical for the global understanding
of religion, and which indirectly directs global life into an atheistic direction
because the contents are very infra-rational.
A modern religion must wisely integrate the scientific progress but not
admix that with a
psychology of religion.
On the other hand this is only a theoretical lost chance for spirituality because the masses are not enough developed for a spiritual religion, and the
step would be too big for the majority of mankind.
Holy science
If i speak about science in this chapter, then i think of a universal "
Holy science"
which includes the higher worlds and transcends our material world as the lowest plane
like in Kashmir-Shaivism.
The modern science uses concepts,
models and mathematics and nowadays widens and deepens the knowledge
on such a broad horizontal front, that life seems to be a combination and interaction
of certain fundamental formulas, even if it steps down to such fundamental
things like the "tree quarks" als elementary particles.
Modern science must stay on the material surface of creation and it becomes very often the servant of
the things which it created. Modern science cannot reach the astral planes or the mental planes
, despite of the transcendental planes and the spiritual planes.
It can only describe single laws and it cannot describe the gnostic infinite planes with their unusual laws
and characteristics.
The "Holy science" acknowledges the laws of the material plane(Prithivi anda)
which come from the limitedhood of the underlying material energy which is still
unknown in physics. Our world is just a final state of the dull "Maya"
which vibrates under the influence of the Atman.
If the kabbalistic "Sepher Yetzirah"
speaks about "Counter, number, counted" then this origin of the numbers is already on a divine plane.
Therefore the astral plane could be a similar world with its own planets and its specific science and
characteristic laws.
The details of the "Holy Science" must stay a secret science of the higher initiates, and therefore it is only
the description of the process of Evolution, of Transformation and of Transfiguration, because
these things should not be a toy in the false hands, a problem that always exists because of the
polarity of creation.
It is not important whether these forces are viewed at as good and evil, as light
and darkness, or as destructive and creative forces.
Our momentary material world obeys the laws of
unconsciousness, and on our dark planet the higher consciousness is always in
danger to be drawn down to by these involutionary forces. This is the main reason for the
spreading decandency which likes these hidden
vital forces as a fundamental part of the momentary human nature.
It must be emphasized in this context that even the forces of the lower
spiritual planes follow certain mathematical
laws, and the laws of physics are only the consequence of the laws of these planes.
Our world is the final result of the "
Atman" which made the Maya-Ethers vibrate in time(the wheel of time - Kalachakra).
Therefore it cannot be the aim of a "holy science" to find these mathematical formulas and to
publish them to the undeserving
ignorance. It is therefore neither limited on
religious studies
or on facile
Universalism.
Even if a very high master should be able to understand these laws he would never publish this because
it is a divine secret of his initiation. It is the purpose of a "Holy science" to show which
forces are necessary to go the path and to show what has to be transformed to reach the next
step of the 22 steps, either with the model of the seven "rays" or with the " four elements
or with the direct synthetic spiritual energy :
The description of the spiritual worlds and of the divine regions must therefore be very gross.
The "Holy science" is based on "Holy scientists" who are busy with their
work on the path to develop the gnostic person.
They have left behind the small human ego, which is a servant and a controller of the
lower worlds. Their EGO has its roots in the spiritual soul(atma-jnana).
It is a science which makes spiritual experiences understandable through the transferred knowledge.
The cosmic world views
in Hinduism and in Buddhism and the knowledge about the many planes
and about the many successful techniques come from the selfrealization of single outriders
and masters.
Finally it should not be forgotten, that even behind the highest divine worlds stands a highest synthetic
hidden consciousness, under whose control everything unconsciously works and functions.
