The attachment of such followers can be seen in their adherence to the philosophical system or whichever religious practice which they choose to pull out of the Hindu hodge-podge, but they seem to draw the line at some point and deny the validity of the descriptions which they cannot fathom, ascribing them to analogy, myth or exagerration. Of course, our lack of understanding does not determine the validity of the Puranic descriptions, just as the truths which men such as Columbus and Gallileo propounded did not depend on the understandings current at that time. It was pointed out in our article “ Pyramids: Indicative of Vedic Civilization on Other Planets? “ that many of the initial descriptions which the British deciphered when they first entered India, such as vimanas, guided weapons, voice-activated weapons, have now come to pass. So we shouldn’t be very quick to dismiss descriptions just because they seem too utterly fantastic to be true. On the opposite side of the coin, we can ask ourselves that, if the mechanics of such acts of mysticism and wizardry can be explained, should our denial then be confronted and our faith in the Vedic literature strengthened? It is with this idea in mind that we shall examine the mystic “ siddhis “or perfections typically described in the Vedic literature, in the light of the soft particle physics propounded by Mr. Joseph H. Cater. (continued...) "radical" is the line they draw between what they know and what they don't understand (yet.) -- Krael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
