It is always a problem when persons have a certain "issue" to prove and does

not avoid any means to prove that issue. Evolution is also such an issue and

is something I don't mix in.

 

Here I follow the Indian version, and rather might give an image of being a

fanatic, just to stay safe. Mahabharata is a true story, and I don't care to

discuss the scientific implications of that.

 

Holding a certain thought or "belief" is an issue in itself. As I see it, it

is a means to an end, not a goal in itself. So I hold on to certain things,

for the teaching value of it. Seeing the world in a different way than the

western scientific way, opens up the mind to another viewpoint. When that

viewpoint is attained, you have two concurrent viewpoints that might even be

opposing. To have two opposing viewpoints, both similarly valid, you have

acquired a kind of intellectual flexibility, that makes it easier to

understand a third viewpoint. And when the mind and intellect is soft and

flexible, it is possible to understand new conclusions and see reality

instead of issues.

 

Maya, or illusion, means to hold on to certain illusory properties of this

world. The unableness or unwillingness to see behind the scenes, and to see

other ways how the same think might be but look the same. Like somone in

illusion by the stage illusionist, when he takes a dove out think air, we are

in illusion by Maya about the true nature of this world. If we can see how

things really are, not how they appear to be, we can understand reality.

 

It certainly looks like evolution. But is that really how it is, or is it an

illusion? Is there any other way that things can be, giving the same apperent

result?
