The different forms described previously are non-differentiated partial manifestations of God-dess. The living entities are God-dess’ differentiated partial manifestations. The living entities are the marginal energy, distinct from the spiritual and material energies but connected with both just as the shore is distinct from land and sea but connected with both. The living entities are […]
God-dess has infinite forms like parts related to the whole. Since God-dess “has no internal difference, the part is not like a piece of stone chopped off from the whole. The part is…the whole–the same all-knowing and all-pervading being. Still, it is called a part, because the†self energy of God-dess “is not fully manifested […]
I was doing research, preparing to respond to Kapoor’s first paragraph of Chapter VIII, dealing with expansions of God-dess, in terms of a hologram. I wanted to make sure my understanding of the relation between a hologram and its part was correct. I came upon this essay: The Universe as a Hologram, by Michael Talbot […]
God-dess has no second. God-dess is the only reality. God-dess’ form is pure self-luminous consciousness. God-dess is the eternal principle, the highest good and the highest bliss. God-dess is an essential unity above categorical difference. There is no other being with the same nature as God-dess. The Absolute is one, but different religions call God-dess […]
Chaitanya presents a comprehensive concrete monism, dipolar monotheism or panentheism. The personal Absolute enfolds even the formless, attributeless Absolute. God-dess’ inconceivable power to reconcile the irreconcilable reconciles our imperfect and contradictory ideas of qualified and unqualified Absolute in a higher synthesis. The Absolute cannot be completely expressed by words, but this does not mean it […]
“Shabda (revelation) is clearly recognized as the only proper source of knowledge. Sri Chaitanya is represented, in Chaitanya-charitamrita, as saying to Sanatan that the only way to right knowledge is through scriptures…Most philosophers, however, limit themselves to perception and inference as the only sources of knowledge. According to Sri Chaitanya, perception and inference, as based […]
This is my latest attempt to define Universalist Radha Krishnaism. I will approach it using The Philosophy and Religion of Sri Caitanya by O.B.L. Kapoor. Dr. Kapoor was a dear friend and mentor when I lived in Vrindaban, India in the early 1970s. He was a retired philosophy professor and life long devotee of Radha […]
I am happy to report the Hawaii County Council voted not to accept over $400,000 for Greenharvest operations Wednesday. Angel Pilago, council member and mayoral candidate, changed his mind and voted against the funding as a result of testimony given by me and many other concerned citizens. I congratulated him for having the courage to […]
God-dess creates and sustains the universe. All creatures and things depend upon God-dess who alone is independent. God-dess is inconceivably, simultaneously immanent and transcendent. We should worship God-dess always and open ourselves to grace, the only way to attain freedom from the seemingly never-ending cycle of birth and rebirth. When one achieves liberation, one does […]
Yesterday, I met with Rev. Roger Christie head of The Hawai’i Cannabis Ministry and mayoral candidate. He asked me to speak at this morning’s committee meeting. There was a good turn out of persons opposed to cannabis eradication efforts by the police. My wife and I went and testified. This is what I said: To: […]
