Guest guest Posted March 3, 2000 Report Share Posted March 3, 2000 Dear friends, I do not know much of physics to join the discussion that Jay has started, but I have a evolutionary biological concept that can link science and vedanta. It is a long article. I think I should post the same in parts. * Evolutionary Hypothesis General Considerations On developing a particular quality in response to certain stimulus, the genetic material, over a period of time, incorporates such qualities in its structure and transmits them to the next generation. The development of fur in polar animals in response to severe cold can be cited as an example. (We did not develop fur, but we became warm blooded in response to extremes of temperatures.) One sees many such adaptations during evolution, both in the nature and the human race. Up till now it was a slow process, as the process of evolution was under the control of Nature, but now it is possible to deliberately and consciously develop certain qualities in ourselves which can be then transferred to the next generation. It is possible to enter the altered state of consciousness -meditative and samadhi- and realize the Unity of all beings, universal solidarity, and divinity of soul. The value system accompanied with the realization of " Atman " is likely to change the future course of inter-human relationship. It will end the exploitation, ego-centric attitude, and selfishness to usher in the new spiritual awareness of altruism, love, and divine brotherhood. continued next mail... dr c s shah -- =================================== E-zine on science and spirituality.
