[FairfieldLife] Re: What is Spirit and Soul? [1 Attachment]
First of all, in regard to the composition of the soul itself, there is a speciality which must be understood. The composition of earthly consciousness always consists of the physical, vital and mental energy. The consciousness upon which the ego concentrates and revolves around, that formation over which the ego sense is concentrated consists always of the physical, vital and mental energies. So there is a formation of physical, vital and mental energy over which a sense ‘I am’ is constantly vibrating. And this ‘I am’ is a sense also consisting of mental energy. So you might say mental energy vibrating over mental energy with a specific colour of it which says I am, I am, I am. This is constantly held by memory. As opposed to this formation the soul does not get composed of the physical, vital and mental energies. This is the first distinction. It is different from physical, vital and mental energies. If you use the Sanskrit word for physical, vital and mental energies it is Prakriti, because that is what ultimately Prakriti means. It means energy of movement and energy as manifested today is the energy of physical, mental, and vital, threefold energy �”� the physical in which tamas is predominant, vital in which rajas is predominant and mental in which sattva is predominant, it is called Trigunatmak Prakriti.The first distinction of the soul is that it is not composed of this threefold energy. Secondly, the soul here is a delegate of the jivatman. Being a delegate of the jivatman, it has the qualities of the jivatman. If it does not consist of physical, vital and mental energies what is it composed of? Being the delegate of the jivatman, it has the composition of the jivatman.The composition of jivatman is a centration, a specificity of the Supreme Lord Himself. Mamaeva amsha – is the description given in the Gita. The jivatman is Mamaeva amsha. It is my portion, my centration, not part because the Lord cannot be divisible. This jivatman is the madhvadaha of the Kathopnishad, the eater of honey. This jivatman is the centration of the Supreme Lord Himself which vibrates with, which is composed of, the energies of Satchitananda Himself. Its vibrations, its energies are energies of Satchitananda, which are all manifesting through Truth. So you might say Truth Energy. It is composed of not physical, vital and mental energies, but Truth Energies. Truth Energy consists of Satchitananda. It is itself the centration of Satchitananda. This soul is a delegate of this jivatman so it has all the elements of the jivatman. This is the composition.In other words this is a composition of the Supreme Lord and Para Prakriti as per the Gita. Ego is the formation of Prakriti. It is also called Apara Prakriti, lower Prakriti distinguished from Para Prakriti. The composition of the ego is that of Apara Prakriti. Composition of the soul which is the delegate of the jivatman is that of Para Prakriti which is Truth Energy and which is centration of the Divine Himself, it is energy and centration. This centration is specific, sustained by the Divine permanently, eternally.This specificity is distinguishable from all other specificities, my soul, your soul, her soul; each one is distinguished from the other. Each one is a centration of the Divine. For each one is distinct from the other. In that distinctness each one is independent of the other. But it is entirely inseparable from the Supreme Lord because it is a centration of the Lord. In other words, each soul or each jivatman knows itself to be independent of all the rest only in regard to its distinctness from the others. But not in the sense that it is independent as separate from all the others; distinct from others yes, but not separate from all the others. This is a subtle distinction which is to be made. Being inseparable from the Supreme Lord it knows it is entirely dependent upon the Supreme Lord and it does not fall into a mistake of thinking that it is independent of all the rest. Therefore the individuality consists of its distinctness from the others, inseparability from the Supreme and from the Para Prakriti and that it is eternal and inextinguishable because the Supreme is inextinguishable. Its formation of body, life and mind are constantly mutable, therefore they are extinguishable but the soul which is a delegate of the jivatman and the jivatman being the eternal centration of the Divine, is inextinguishable. Therefore, while the ego and egoistic formation is mutable and extinguishable, the soul is inextinguishable. Jivatman himself with all his consciousness, if it descends completely into the human body as it is with all its fullness of knowledge, then the kind of play that is to be played cannot be played because it will all the time be conscious and the gradual evolution which is to take place will not take place. http://www.kireetjoshiarchives.com/audio-video/audio.php?id=476 Gulati O
[FairfieldLife] Re: [TheBecoming] Re: Spirit & Reincarnation
It is Shirish Dave who wrote rebirth is wishful thinking. I am arguing for rebirth. The second question is what is the necessity of rebirth?One who is reborn is the soul that is reborn, and while taking rebirth it may have discarded the previous personalities altogether because they are no more necessary for future growth and future potentialities to develop. Or it may take help of whatever was formed and enter into the new body with all the formations of the past birth in whatever way they are modified, after going into those planes by going through necessary modifications with enriched material derived from the experiences of those planes. As a result of that we cannot expect that the soul that is now born will manifest the same tendencies which were present in the last incarnation. Napoleon of the last birth may be in this birth an ordinary soldier, no more the captain of the commander. Or he may be a businessman in the next birth or an ordinary navigator, depending upon what experiences he had already exhausted and what new potentialities he has to manifest. So it is idle to expect in a new personality continuation in the same form or same rhythm as it was in the previous birth.The common notion that the same personality who dies now is reborn is quite unscientific. It is only true of those very rudimentary personalities which have no capacity of transmigrating to higher planes and to exhaust themselves and to renew themselves, it is true only of those personalities. But for the others it is not so for most of the human beings it is not so. Otherwise there would be no evolution. If you are simply to be born again into a new body it would be senseless. Why would you have left the earlier body at all? We leave the earlier body because the circumstances in which we are living, the capacities which are there in the body have reached their point where they cannot have further development. We have reached a critical point where continuing in the same body has no further meaning in terms of evolution. http://www.kireetjoshiarchives.com/audio-video/audio.php?id=474 I would like to introduce one more complication in this simple description that I have given and that is the concept of individuality. Earlier we had said that the purpose of this game that we call the present world is to manifest the totality in the embodied individual; this is the general formula we had given. The true individual, we had said, is the jivatman and we had defined jivatman as the centration of the universal and transcendent Divine in a manifold movement of universe. This is the definition that we had given of the jivatman. The idea is that this centration should become embodied and in that embodied condition the transcendental and universal consciousness must fully manifest with specificity which that specific individual is designed to express. Until that happens in the embodied condition we are obliged to return to this physical world. This is the law of necessity.Why is it that we are obliged to come back to this earth? Supposing after coming out of this body we go into the plane of the life, plane of the mind and plane of the psychic, why do we not remain there all the time? Why are we obliged to come back? The necessity arises out of the fact is that the purpose for which we have agreed to play this role, reach a point in this embodied condition the totality must be manifest specific individually. And since this cannot happen in one birth or many births, it is imposed upon us that we have to come back again and again. Or you might say that we have taken a decision to do so along with God Himself. We want to participate in this game and so it is with the self choice that we come back again on earth so that that particular aim is fulfilled. So the important point is in the individuality. In the individuality, Totality must become manifest.In every evolutionary process here, the constant pressure is to develop individuality capable of manifesting Totality. This is the central drive in our life whether we realise it or not. Whatever we are doing in our life sharpens our individuality to such an extent that the Totality can manifest specifically through our individuality. And all that we are doing on this earth is a kind of work of a goldsmith. Our soul is very much compared with a goldsmith’s. The jivatman when it is embodied, it is embodied by its delegate called the soul. It is the soul that is the goldsmith which goes on shaping individuality of the body, life and mind and of itself.A most important activity that is going on in our life is the formation of individuality. This formation is basically the task of Agni, Fire. All formation, even in the physical world if you want to form or weld something without fire it is not possible. You cannot make a form stable without welding and without the fire element. Same thing is also true of the subtle planes. It is the fir

[FairfieldLife] Re: [TheBecoming] Re: Spirit & Reincarnation
There are various possibilities.1. The physical universe is the only universe. Once the soul comes out of the body there is nowhere else it has to go, so it goes into another body immediately. So, transmigration to some other world, heaven or hell or other worlds does not arise at all. This is true if the physical world is the only reality. If the physical universal is not the only reality then other possibilities arise.We have found:“The soul would have no freedom from Matter; it would be perpetually bound to its instrument, the body, and dependent on it for the continuity of its manifested existence. But we have found that there is a life on other planes after death and before the subsequent rebirth, a life consequent on the old and preparatory of the new stage of terrestrial existence. Other planes coexist with ours, are part of one complex system and act constantly upon the physical which is their own final and lowest term, receives its reactions, admit a secret communication and commerce. Man can become conscious of these planes, can even in certain states project his conscious being into them, partly in life, presumably therefore with a full completeness after the dissolution of the body.”This is the second alternative.2. Physical universe is not the only universe. In fact in one of the important articles of Vedic knowledge there is a discovery of other worlds other than the physical universe. The Vedic seers were able to find out that there are worlds other than the physical world of which we have physical experience. And therefore he described the whole world in a very symbolic manner. He said the world is like an animal which has two heads, 4 horns and 3feet – it is like a riddle – dveshirasa, chaturshringa, tripada. Three feet consist of 3 worlds, the lower worlds, the world of matter, the world of life and the world of mind tripada. Even in the world there are 3 earths, the Veda speaks of 3 earths. Even in the earth principle there are two other earth principles of which we are not normally aware. The earth principle is called prithvi. The second is antariksha and the third is dhyao or heaven that is the mind. When the Vedic Rishis prayed they prayed that first shanti may be dhyao shanti, antariksha shanti, prithvi shanti; tripada, the three worlds. Then comes another world, which is called the world of Truth and Vast, �”� the world of Satyam, Ritam, Brihad, the Truth, the Right and the Vast. This is called the higher heaven. Dhyao is the lower heaven sometimes also referred to as Swaha.In the Gayatri mantra we speak of Bhur is prithvi, Bhuva is antariksha and dhyao together and swaha is this swaha, higher than that is the triple world which is spiritual �”� Satchitananda. So Satchitananda and Swaha, Truth and vast these are the four horns. The 3 feet are the feet of matter, life and mind. The four horns are Satchitananda and truth and vast. These are the 7 Realities, 7 worlds. 4 higher worlds and three lower. The 4 horns are the higher worlds and the tripada, 3 feet the lower worlds, �”� 4 higher and 3 lower worlds. All this is the manifestation of a reality which is dual in character, which has 2 heads, which is Ardhanareshwar; which is supreme, at once the Lord and Divine Mother; which is the ultimate justification of the sex principle in the world. Aditi is called the Divine Feminine principle, the first Divine Mother from whom all creatures are born. And the lord is often the image of Rishabha, the Supreme Bull, the image of the Veda. The knowledge of the existence of these worlds was a precious possession of the Vedic Rishis.This was not just a belief. It was as if the Rishis were able to move into these worlds at will. They could enter into any world as they willed. It was a kind of personal experience. Just as we can say that I have seen the world and have no doubt of its existence, at least so far as my senses go. Similarly, one can say I have entered into the world of the truth and vast. I have entered the world of life, or of mind. In the world of mind there will be only the world of ideas and no matter as we see it. In the world of life there will be world desires, impulses. When you enter into the higher world of the Supermind, when you go to the higher level, Truth and Right and Vast, you will see only the manifestation which is luminous, the world of light, the world of delight, world of consciousness and the world of existence. These worlds were known to the Upanishads also, before Upanishads accepted this whole theory, not a theory according to them, but knowledge.Those who believe that there is only this world and no other world at all for them there is no liberation. They remain in this world of death, madhyaloka. So the knowledge of these worlds is necessary for liberation. http://www.kireetjoshiarchives.com/audio-video/audio.php?category=rebirth-and-other-worlds&id=472If already you have the power of entering in

From Wikipedia: Biodynamic agriculture is a form of alternative agriculture very similar to organic farming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_farming, but it includes various esoteric https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric concepts drawn from the ideas of Rudolf Steiner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner (1861–1925).[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-networks-1[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-PaullJ-2 Initially developed since 1924, it was the first of the organic agriculture movements.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-vogt-3 It treats soil fertility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_fertility, plant growth, and livestock care as ecologically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology interrelated tasks,[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-OrgAg-4[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-Duram2010-5[6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-6 emphasizing spiritual https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirituality and mystical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism perspectives. Biodynamics has much in common with other organic approaches – it emphasizes the use of manures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manure and composts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compost and excludes the use of artificial chemicals on soil and plants. Methods unique to the biodynamic approach include its treatment of animals, crops, and soil as a single system, an emphasis from its beginnings on local production and distribution systems, its use of traditional and development of new local breeds and varieties. Some methods use an astrological https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology sowing and planting calendar.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-7 Biodynamic agriculture uses various herbal and mineral additives for compost additives and field sprays; these are sometimes prepared by controversial methods, such as burying ground quartz stuffed into the horn of a cow, which are said to harvest "cosmic forces in the soil", that are more akin to sympathetic magic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_magic than agronomy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agronomy.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-treue-8 As of 2016 biodynamic techniques were used on 161,074 hectares in 60 countries.[9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-9 Germany accounts for 45% of the global total;[10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-Olympiad-10 the remainder average 1750 ha per country. Biodynamic methods of cultivating grapevines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_wine have been taken up by several notable vineyards.[11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-Reeve2005-11 There are certification agencies for biodynamic products, most of which are members of the international biodynamics standards group Demeter International https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demeter_International. No difference in beneficial outcomes has been scientifically established between certified biodynamic agricultural techniques and similar organic and integrated farming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_farming practices.
