THIS FUCKER'S BERNARDO |
|
by Ridley Scott, arranged by Tara Carreon Dr John Mumford (Swami Anandakapila Saraswati) wrote: We could, at this point, remind ourselves of the implications of Carl Sagan's statement: "matter is mostly NOTHING" i.e., empty space between sub-atomic particles which engage in a process of accretion to form matter and eventually disengage to do it all over again, "life after life"! When we understand "matter is mostly nothing" we can begin to approach the attitude characteristic of the Indus Valley civilization. Indian philosophy teaches that manifestation is Maya, or illusion; a beguiling cosmic dance which has the potential to delude us and enmesh the beholder. Restating this from the perspective of quantum physics, someone said, "there are no nouns" i.e., a person, place or thing lacks substantial reality and is but a twinkling atomic dance possessing only the facade of solidarity. That makes us all "nobody".
