Additional information can be found in the Hindu scripture, "The Bhagavad Gita". I call it "The White Light" and experienced it once in a Christian context, momentarily. I don't know if it does computations. If you're blessed to experience it, you will have no doubt of its role as the source of consciousness. "Source" implies sufficiency. ???

AG It was discovered in the ancient world several millennia ago by Hindu gurus and Yoga adepts. It qualifies to be called Occult or Hidden knowledge, and is essentially unknown to modern scientists and philosophers. As brain chemistry was unknown to those gurus. And the White Light is unknown to you. AG Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
