This week’s unedited notes randomly collected, loosely or directly related to this week’s podcast:
Hiranyagarbha anatomy, yoga sutra, Who is Rama
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
C.G. JUNG
announcements:
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
remodeling kitchen so no food service at Mt Soma for a while.

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 create 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
dark matter? chaos? ,,, not our concern,,, vastness of the universe… logical coherence of manifest is like ‘windows’ in a crystal… e.g. in a herkimer diamond
you are eternal
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 alll 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 Brahm Upanishad from Shukla Yajur Veda
Ram takes all values of specificity, perspectives, and puts them all together in terms of unified whole… Brahm
Vastu is study of space defined by walls, etc.
dissolution and creation of universe
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
Why the enlightened are not easy to understand:
what is “this’? What is “that”? In enlightenment, what was ‘this’ becomes ‘that’ and what was ‘that’’ becomes ‘this’. God is closer than people think.
Veda is not easy to interpret/understand: meaning on many levels [even pandits interpret with different meanings… language of nature, not just of humans
For him who does not know being [the transcendent] what can the hymns of Veda accomplish?
what lies beyond [not born of] the mind… cosmic intelligence… foundation of natural thoughts… in harmony with nature.
knowledge/experience
Consciousness is Brahman (Prajnanam Brahma).
