19 TOMMORROW Danda-veda -- Political Science, Social Philosophy Classical Indian Philosophy can supply a Philosophy of Nature that integrates the study of physical, psychological, ethical and intuitive levels. Continued study: Pada-padma, the first two cantos of Srimad Bhagavatam

20 Fundamental Questions 1. If the Sankhya is so great then why haven’t we heard about it before? 2. Can make a heaven on earth? 3. What about weapons for self defense? 4. What do the Scientists say about this?

21 A Well Kept Secret Max Mueller Colonialismo

22 Heaven on Earth Psychotic Core Michael Eigen, April 2004 Everyone is possessed of a fundamental narcissistic complex in which the self has become both the subject and object of its own erotic potency. Mental hospital. Therapeutically perfect.

23 Weapons Danda-veda, Dhanur-veda, Brahmastra-weapons, Charles Townes Political Science,

24 What do the Scientists say? QUANTUM QUESTIONS Ken Wilbur, Shambala, 1984 Albert Einstein ETHICAL DIMENSION The scientific method can teach us nothing else beyond how facts are related to, and conditioned by each other. The aspiration toward such objective knowledge belongs to the highest of which man is capable, and you will certainly not suspect me of wishing to belittle the achievements and the heroic efforts of man in this sphere. Yet it is equally clear that knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to knowledge of what should be. INTUITION & MOTIVATION This knowledge of objective truth as such is wonderful, but it is so little capable of acting as a guide that it cannot prove even the justification and the value of the aspiration toward that very knowledge of truth. Here we face, therefore, the limits of the purely rational conception of our existence. Pg 106

25 What do the Scientists say? Prince Louis de Broglie INTUITION & MOTIVATION The great epoch-making discoveries of the history of science (think, for example, of that of universal gravitation) have been sudden lightening flashes, making us perceive in one single glance a harmony up untill then unsuspected, and it is to have, from time to time, the divine joy of discovering such harmonies that pure science works without sparing its toil or seeking for profit. Pg. 117

26 What do the Scientists say? Prince Louis de Broglie ETHICAL DIMENSION In the last chapter of his great work, The Two Sources of Morality and Religion, Henri Bergson, having reached almost the end of his book, showed to us a humanity in the formidable grip of mechanism, and as if succumbing under the weight of the discoveries and inventions which the creative ability of its mind had been able to realize. Bergsen rightly says: Machines which move on petrol, on coal, hydro-electric power and which convert into motion the potential energies accumulated during millions of years, have given to our organism so vast an extension and so formidable a power, so disproportionate to its dimensions and strength, that surely it had never been foreseen in the plan of the structure of the species. And wishing to make us appreciate the essential point and the disquieting side of the problem, he adds: Now, in this excessively enlarged body, the spirit remains what it was, too small now to fill it, too feeble too direct it. Now this increased body awaits a supplement of the soul, now the mechanism demands a mysticism. Finally, the work finishes on these words, pregnant with meaning: Humanity groans half- crushed under the weight of the advances that it has made. It does not know sufficiently that its future depends on itself. It is for it, above all, to make up its mind if it wishes to continue to live. Pg. 122

27 What do the Scientists say? Max Planck I might put the matter in another way and say that the freedom of the ego here and now, and its independence of the causal chain, is a truth that comes from the immediate dictate of the human consciousness. Pg. 150

28 What do the Scientists say? Werner Heisenberg (From his book, Wolfgang Pauli’s Philosophical Outlook) Very early in his career Pauli had followed the road of skepticism based in rationalism right to the end, and he then tried to trace out those elements of the cognitive process that precede a rational understanding in depth. Pg 158 Wolfgang Pauli Werner Heisenberg

29 What do the Scientists say? Sir Arthur Eddington What is the truth about ourselves? Various answers suggest themselves. We are a bit of stellar matter gone wrong. We are physical machinery, puppets that strut and talk and laugh and die as the hand of time pulls the strings beneath. But there is one elementary inescapable answer. We are that which asks the question. Whatever else there may be in our natures, responsibility towards truth is one of its attributes. This side of our nature is aloof from the scrutiny of the physicist. I do not think it is sufficiently covered by admitting a mental aspect of our being. It has to do with conscience rather than consciousness Pg 178

30 What do the Scientists say? Sir Arthur Eddington The materialist who is convinced that all phenomena arise from electrons and quanta and the like controlled by mathematical formulae, must presumably hold the belief that his wife is a rather elaborate differential equation, but he is probably tactful enough not to obtrude this opinion in domestic life. If this kind of scientific dissection is felt to be inadequate and irrelevant in ordinary personal relationships, it is surely out of place in the most personal relationship of all, that of the human soul to the divine spirit.
