Food and Associated Memory

Wanted to blog today about certain thoughts behind food, thats been lingering in my head for awhile.

Being a vegetarian fundamentally due to my religious background, it never entered my mind to question the way I was raised. In fact I enjoyed the way I was raised and acknowledge its in accordance with my higher self.

Raising kids in a foreign land where they are now surrounded by multi cultural people, my children witness a lot more diversity than I did for that age. So the natural questions and curiosity in their head "why don't we eat meat? OMG they eat meat, thats disgusting !" are their innocent reaction to what they see.

I took this opportunity to explain the rationals behind our choice which I wanted to blog as well.

I think the usual reasoning behind is the fact that animals are living beings on their own path to soul evolution, and that we as humans should be loving, kind and nurturing towards them.

Another general argument would be the fact that they react and are aware of getting slaughtered and accounts to causing enormous grievance and pain. We are stealing their fundamental rights to live.

When we look at nature, we understand and accept the  natural order of things. We understand that a carnivore is meant to hunt a herbivore, and the herbivore is meant for eating  the plants around it.
So perhaps man is meant to be an omnivore. There is no doubt about this statement as more the free will, more choices come to your plate.

This is the fundamental fact: Humans have the maximum free will on this planet as of any other specie, mainly due to two factors
a. Biological capability and
b. Cognitive capability

Said this powerful statement, we should also be aware and responsible for the reaction within us when we make a particular choice.

So what is the fundamental reasoning behind avoiding meat altogether? Why does the Hindu religion try to mandate this?

Simple answer : Cellular Memory.
Memory is a term which is an integration of our past, our present and what we think is our future.
Animals have more cellular memory than plant, simply because they are more aware and own a more complex biological system.

Memory is directly proportional to your Biological and Cognitive capability.

I think we all agree that the food that we eat becomes a part of us, and makes us.
We are noting but a bunch of memories walking around. If there is no memory then there is no you.

Now if your fundamental life goal is to be like a lotus on water, follow the principles of least effort (wuwei) then you really have to reduce your memory. The more memory you have the bigger the backpack your carrying. So it now makes a lot of sense that the food that becomes you should also contain least memory to help in your path.
This is the primary reason why one needs to be really aware of what they eat. Fasting is also encouraged as it helps us lower our memory by reducing food intake, as plants too have a lot of memory.

One classification that needs to be understood is that plants have whats called evolutionary memory and not much active memory. Evolutionary memory is not a burden, its part and parcel to the biological capability.

Plant life, is already based on the principle of least effort! it does not even actively reproduce,  it depends on external factors such as bees and other insects to cross pollinate. If it happens it happens, otherwise it just continues  to live in the moment.
Animals wander, they have higher free will. They act and react, they are not living on the principles of least effort. Animals know their past, plants do not.Again when compared between the two, plants are safer to eat for a ascetic than meat.

Given we all cannot renounce our daily life and become ascetics, perhaps practicing vegetarianism may help us lead better life, and the rational behind the religious principles of Hinduism.

Hope this sheds a better perspective to your thinking and helps you understand the life choices you make and how to arrange your platter to aid that.

Structure of the universe - layered approach

A continuation to where I had left in my previous blog, where matter is represented as a function of consciousness.

This diagram is not as clear as I want it to be, but was the closest to what I see in my mind as a potential model of our universe, inspired by researching on quantum/string theories, various metaphysics texts that partly describe this universe.

The idea behind this and been a postulate for sometime is the hour-glass theory of our universe.

The theory of  BigBang has opened up more questions rather than answers. The following are some of the paradoxes of the proposed Big Bang

1. If all the mass of this universe is contained within a singularity, a point where all laws of physics is broken , there is an implicit assumption that the total integration of all mass of this universe + its associated energy is compressed to a single point. How is that even possible? How could such a compression even happen. It takes energy to compress? So where is its source? Who is doing this work? Assuming there was no compression, then what is the trigger for a point of infinite mass to give birth to all that is today. Even more bizarre, that if the point if of infinite mass, how could it be a point?

2. The Singularity should be held somewhere. Where is this Singularity contained? So is there another universe wrapping up the singularity of our universe at the time before BigBang?

3. How long was this singularity in existence? If time was truly zero before the BigBang, one could never ascertain the age of this singularity.

Actually if point #2 is true, then this layering would be tending to infinity. For sake of argument lets reference our current universe as the innermost.

{(Wrapped universe)∞......[(wrapped universe)n.....(universe)]}

Perhaps we should now integrate all these layers and consider them as one, where in there are parallel universes wrapped within each other making our single universe.

The diagram now attempts to answer these questions by bringing in the function of consciousness as the parent/governing energy of this universe.

1. Every layer of the universe is represented as an hourglass, continuous as in a wave form. 
2. The X axis -> representing Time which is not truly linear, but tends to reference zero when Consciousness reaches its max threshold within its layer.
3. The Y axis -> representing Consciousness, with a max threshold for each parallel universe.
1.  Consciousness (N) was defined as a function of Energy    N =  f(E), ~ N = f(MC2)
2.  This would mean all energy and matter contained within a parallel universe is directly proportional to the max threshold of allowed conscious energy.
4. In the expansion phase of the universe, as Conscious energy grows (due to the layer below it being compressed) more matter and energy is drawn into the universe and we see creation of galaxies, stars, planets etc
5. During the contraction phase the source of work is coming in from the expansion of parallel universe on top and below thereby conscious energy declining, which results in the slow destruction of stars/planets (super nova, dwarf, death) thereby resulting in lower matter/energy.
6. These parallel universes overlap and eventually one hour-glass joins onto another hour glass  like a string of beads
7. This expansion and contraction is so slow a process when compared to the average life of a human, that its impossible to measure or predict the current state of the universe. 
1. Red shift/Blue shift only measures the relative movement of starts but not the direction of movement of this parallel universe as a whole.
2. At any given time its hard to understand the point on the Y axis.
3. At C = Cmaxthreshold,  Time (T) -> Zero, (a reset mode)
4. There would be multiple Time reset modes, but truly no negative time as now Time itself becomes a function of Consciousness.

Whats now interesting to me is the fact that in Hinduism, time has always been divided into 4 major cycles. Each Time cycle is actually represented by the level of consciousness being available to mankind.  I would imagine the following

1. Satya Yuga  -> C = CmaxThreshold 
2. Treta Yuga -> C = CmaxThreshold/2
3. Dwapara yuga -> C = CmaxThreshold/4
4. Kali Yuga C= CmaxThreshold/8

Each Cycle's Consciousness energy when it exactly halves. Given timelines its indicative we just finished a time reset and starting towards an expansion cycle which sortof aligns with scientific evidence.

Lets think beyond physics and understand the power of metaphysics.

I realized that I have not really been blogging anything around metaphysics. Most of my focus has been around Vedic astrology and sacred geometry.
Wanted to start the new year with something interesting that I stumbled upon while in an intermediate sleep/wakeup state, probably around 3am. When we are in a state that we are neither asleep nor awake, where your subconscious knows your dreaming and is aware of your sleep, is when a lot of knowledge can be tapped.

A famous example that comes to mind as I write this, is the scientist August Kekule who discovered the structure of Benzene's ring.  Benzene was a paradox at that time to chemists  as it was one electron short to make it atomically stable, hence no structure really worked out. The famous resonance bond was coined by Kekule, who dreamt of a snake biting its own tail, thus forming the structure of Benzene. This story has always been an inspiration.

So back to the topic of today's blog, I am going to attempt applying concepts of metaphysics to physics.

Lets go!

E = MC Squared! the famous equation from Albert Einstein. Links the Energy with Matter.

Physics starts at material level, Metaphysics starts at Consciousness level.
Physics needs that which is tangible, concrete and rational. Metaphysics deals with the abstract, irrational and intangible.

So we start with Matter and we convert it to infinite energy by applying the said equation.
Lets try to do the reverse (which many schools are working on), take a ton of energy and convert it to matter. If we ever figure this out, we have figured out creation.

The paradox, how do we contain energy and how do we convert that to matter? So lets look at physics definition of "energy", which states "Energy is the power to do work".
To me its sad that we need to bring in the word "Power" to describe "Energy".  The moment word Power comes into use, we are translating energy with the ability to do something. We are immediately negating the fact that energy can exist without its ability to do anything, The potential state of just being present as energy just like matter existing without any rhyme or reason.
This is the problem for science. It refuses to consider the driving force of energy, which is consciousness. It fails to even acknowledge its presence.
The very fact that I am alive and writing this blog is my consciousness driving my material body. Consciousness is also energy is a different form, having the ability to do work, so simply remain dormant, but governs intension for action.

Universe is governed by three principles

Laws of randomness | Laws of reflection | Laws of Attraction.

Laws of randomness

This leads to the next step, something I have always been interested in, the famous "brownian movement" of intramolecular particles in all matter. In liquid state there is more brownian movement versus solid state. So lets reflect on what this theory is. It simply states that molecules randomly move within a delta based on its degree of freedom.  Pay very close attention to the word "random".
Randomness in something science has come up with to define uncertainty.  Science cannot predict the pattern behind this brownian moment, its very difficult.

Now lets change the angle to metaphysics.
Lets define Consciousness (N) as a function of Energy    N =  f(E), ~ N = f(MC2)

We can now define that all matter has consciousness. Its not something exclusive to things that are alive. Even a stone has consciousness, and has intension. The molecules are actually not moving at random, but moving based on their intension to move a certain way, exercising their own free will.
All that is around us, all have a degree of consciousness, free will and intension.  This is where religion steps in to define these laws as its beyond the scope of Science.

Whats really interesting now is that in the field of Cryptography whose security mainly relies on degree of randomness fed to certain inputs, relies on HSMs and mechanically generated data, which are mathematical functions, and truly not random at all, simply piggybacking on difficulty in guessing the input, if replaced by a source that is driven by consciousness (say the movement of a dog, thought process of a child) then it would truly be random, as the factor of free will comes into play. Ofcourse its impossible to design such a system, where instead of AI, we need to think of Conscious computing.

The question is how to map Matter to Energy to Consciousness, and work towards that path. May be one day we will have a break through and evolve towards conscious computing :) where f(E) can be scientifically deduced.
