Guest guest Posted December 11, 1999 Report Share Posted December 11, 1999 It appears that the list members are in a Holiday mood. And why not! The Holy month of Christmas gives much awaited opportunity to relax and contemplate, on the follies of past and their corrections in the coming new year. Best luck to all. As far the concept of holiday is concerned, I try to give a new dimension to its origin & interpretation: To study a given phenomenon-- The Primordial Vastness in the form of Infinite Consciousness may be our starting point. Or we may begin our study at the intermediary level of human evolutionary phase. Pre-human, human and post-human stages are necessary events in the cosmic cycle. Human being is a passing point on the circumference of this circle, much the same way the ‘primordial big bang’ was, and the ‘final collapse’ will be. Whether scientists start their study from a 'pre-bang’ event or a ‘post-bang’ event they will have to accept the state of equilibrium in between. Such a phase of equilibrium may be called as ‘Non-Modified Universal Consciousness’. Its nature is such that it produces its own modifications from One Substance, from itself and within itself. Similar to a fruit that is formed from the same substance comprising of outer shell, seeds, and inner pulp. We cannot reject anything (shell, seeds, or the pulp), otherwise it will be a partial or incomplete study. At the same time, individually or separately all the three structures can be studied and elaborated upon as far as their peculiarities go. Holidays should help us to attempt the study of a phenomenon in its totality, and not as a chain of broken events. Dr. C. S. Shah -- =^=^=^=^=^ E-magazine on science and spirituality.
