opening:
clean the fish bowl is the only solution
if thousands of years of history has proven one thing, it is that current approaches to world peace do not work: clean the fish bowl is the only answer: Mt Soma is dedicated to that; residents gain liberation in the process

This week’s unedited notes randomly collected, loosely or directly related to this week’s podcast:
‘bounded’ works here in place of ‘small’:
scripture, cognition, teaching, movement,
both eternal and changing
Maharishi: ‘These are Brahma Sūtras (sūtras about Brahman), not Jagat sūtras (sūtras about the world).’
you are Brahma
“I am Brahma[n]”
The World Reveals Brahman
pashya: ’see’ and early Brahma Chaitanya [Brahman Consciousness]
K + A = KA, manifest [consonates] are rooted in unbounded [unmanifest]
without the observer, there is no pillow
Ramayana in the Physiology:
Ravana: specificity [space, time, etc.] ultimately a misunderstanding about reality, Rama restores Absolute in awareness… why Lanka is so beautiful
projection/perception: our sensory functions project a ‘reality’ onto the Absolute; Brahman is all of this together: a level of consciousness, not a ‘thing’. point of view creates ones ‘reality’ [e.g. science, religion, business, music, etc.]; is physiological as well determined by karma as education, heritage, etc. [dynamics of structure of physiology], can view from any perspective and is fine if it ultimately meets all other perspectives
Bhagavad Gita 9.8: curving back on myself I create over and over again
Trimutri and Prakritis: structure, function, purpose:
what defines silence [Shiva] is sound [Parvati], everything is creation is Parvati [Prakriti], She is every structure that defines every space. Parvati is Prakriti of Shiva
Vishnu dynamism, function is Lakshmi… Prakriti of Vishnu:dynamism is Lakshmi:function
Brahma Knowledge Prakriti is Saraswati Organizing Power [Plan] … House has a function but how to use it is a plan. Brahma holds the 4 Veda… logic, plan
Purusha is all of them together: they are all the same thing seen from different perspectives/realities
Ram is Brahm… Totality… The embodiment of Chaitanya [the Absolute]… the 50% of Vishnu: the embodiment of the other parts, the other 50%…. takes all values and puts them together in their full value in wholeness
This is full; that is full. from Fullness comes Fullness Upanishad from Shukla Yajur Veda
My universe is my self
Atma is subjective, personal, individual: yet in a wholistic or collective manner/way.
experience atma as the field of sensory perception
Silence, or space, is found as Shiva.
He Who Has No Name observes without bias the illusion
Consciousness is Brahman (Prajnanam Brahma).
Upanishad 3.1.3
