Not that I am casting doubt on priority, but it is interesting that the French philosopher Henri Bergson develops the idea in a more rudimentary form over several pages, in his 1911 book 'Evolution Creatrice' (Creative Evolution). Making statements such as: "...the mechanism of our ordinary knowledge is of a cinematographic kind" and "...the cinematographical character of our knowledge of things is due to the kaleidoscopic character of our adaptation to them." But without extending the analogy to the many parts (lens, light source, etc) that Sri Ramana does. Nasrudin Find local movie times and trailers on Movies. http://au.movies.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Dear Sri Nasrudin , This analogy appears in Bhagavan's Upadesa Manjari now known as o Spiritual Instruction .It was compiled by Natanananda from Ramana's answers to questions . The books say he was an early devotee so it was probably before 1911 .Gabriel Ebert who is one of Ramana's Biographers may know a date ?
