Mysteries of Ancient natural languages & Universal Science

Sumerian, Ancient Egyptian, Rig Vedic, Avestan, Chinese and other more ancient civilizations  supposedly had a natural language and/or script. The historical timeline is around 4000BC to 1000BC. 

Their language is believed to be natural in the manner it is related to the Universe and its laws. It is not artificial as modern languages are which make arbitrary assignment of word and meaning to natural objects and phenomena. How did these languages originate and what is the science of their structure?

Let us first have a look at some of the ancient languages alphabets to appreciate the diversity in form and alphabet size. 

Egyptian

 

Sumerian cuneiform

 

Vedic Brahmi

Iranian Avestan

 

Chinese

 

Undecipherable Indus Valley script

We can observe that there is large diversity in shape of the characters, their total size and also form. How did this happen and what is the reason for this?  

This is a very complicated issue and we must ask many more basic questions to understand the background in which languages evolve.

What do we exactly mean by ancient civilizations? Is there any unique or common distinguishing feature other than remote timeline? Is it complex architecture, texts or language?

Is ancient science different from modern science and in what ways?

What do we essentially and fundamentally understand by the term “meaning”/“knowledge”?

What exactly is our brains understanding of a line segment or a circle drawn on a piece of paper? We normally and immediately “sense” that it is real and think no more of it but is it actually “real” in the natural sense because it disappears if we erase it or burn the paper? So, is our brain or rather the sensory apparatus, normally, capable or tuned to distinguish between natural and artificial reality?  

Is “meaning”/”knowledge” in context of Universal Science a direct function of fundamental geometry or form, vibration frequency of this form and precise numbers and/or ratios?

Are there natural sensory limits to our understanding of the physical world by observation and experiments irrespective of advances in technology?

How Natural Process or Law’s “meaning” which operates in a dynamic 3d world can be encoded in a static 2d form (Hieroglyph, cuneiform,Sign)? How “Time” is accounted for in the 2d sign?

What is the unknown process of information encoding & compression? What part is missing in a 2d sign to enable decoding? Is it property of “Time”?

What are the limits to such encoding? Is presence of higher phonetic alphabet size an indicator of higher levels of Universal science understanding and its encoding?

How natural sound units (language alphabets - phonemes, syllables) which operate in 3d are related to the 2d signs? Do they serve to replicate the underlying vibration frequency encoded in the sign/form? 

In this sense, are phonetic alphabets the decoding units and “speaking” “chanting” (adding time) the “right words” (proper sequence of alphabets) of ancient language in the right pitch and meter the decoding process in the brain to cognize using the auditory sense via the mind?

Is the encoding & decoding process free from loss of information or there is a loss? What process of communication would ensure that there is zero loss? 

As a final point, are the 2d signs similar to “snapshots” in time of natural laws? 

We notice that these basic questions are not easy to answer  and have to simplify it further to try and understand its real scope & dimensions. Let us then consider the following example by way of analogy of the key issues involved as I understand it;

Universe- Supercomputer

Energy, Matter, Space, Time- Hardware components

Consciousness/Intelligence-CPU

Natural laws and rules, physical constants-Operating System

This OS is written in a unique natural machine language with a defined physical structure and interrelationships. Geometry, Frequency & number ratios are its building blocks.   

Ancient natural languages are Software programs that attempted to replicate this natural machine language locally in order to communicate with the OS & Hardware. There are many versions of these languages-software programs depending on the understanding of this machine language by the ancient civilizations. The alphabets are its building blocks.

The phonetic alphabet size of the ancient language determines the degree to which they understood the machine language. Sound or technically Vibration is a Universal feature and Resonance is transfer of quality or achieving equivalent state between two vibrating systems.

The sign alphabet was an attempt to preserve this ancient phonetic knowledge but obviously there was loss of information for how does one encode a 3d reality in 2d. I could be wrong if a technique does exist but is unknown to us.

Modern language is an artificial construct based on arbitrary assignment of words & meaning to objects & phenomena. It has no natural link with the underlying reality. It was not developed per se to understand reality but as means of communication and recording as formalized socioeconomic settlements developed. 

However, sometimes and i think randomly modern language letters do come together in a specific arrangement to form a word or phrase that creates a subtle resonance with the underlying reality thru the mind and information transfer takes place in the sub-consciousness level. 

The mysterious Law of Karma and how to increase Karma

Karma is an inescapable law of The Supreme God. It is generally misunderstood as an oriental spiritual concept but is actually present in many ancient religions of the world. It is a mysterious and occult force of nature that is both simple in its application yet very complex in its actual working.

Some examples of global widespread of this mysterious concept are as follows:

And here they say that a person consists of desires,
and as is his desire, so is his will;
and as is his will, so is his deed;
and whatever deed he does, that he will reap. — Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 7th Century BC

Galatians 6:7: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows this he will also reap.”

2 Corinthians 5:10: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.”

What is Karma?

Karma is divine “positive or negative attributed energy” resulting in material “benefits or obligations” that we all accrue in our human life as a direct output-result of each instance of OUR mental thoughts & physical actions irrespective of whether done consciously or unconsciously. Thus;

[Thoughts, Actions] => [+ve, -ve karma Energy] => [Benefits, Obligations]

How does it operate?

The Nature, positive-good-expansive-unselfish or negative-evil-contractive-selfish, of our intention behind each mental thought or physical action colors or imprints the karmic energy with the respective positive or negative attribute resulting in accrual of either benefit to us or obligation due by us. Thus;

[Thoughts, Actions] => [+ve, -ve karma Energy] => [Benefits, Obligations]

[+ve, good, expansive, unselfish] => [+ve Karma Energy] => [Benefits]

[-ve, evil, contractive, selfish] => [-ve Karma Energy] => [Obligations]

The Result?

“The Net effect of +ve & -ve Karmic energies determines our net overall present condition whether we are Enjoying or Suffering in life due to a combination of 4 primary factors which are Health, Wealth, Social relationships, Spirituality.”

It is to be noted that our present net karmic balance must also take into account the portion of accumulated net karmic balance we inherited at birth from our previous incarnations.

Since our thoughts and actions are continuous activities every second, minute, hour, days, months and years since birth, we also continuously generate +ve or –ve karmic energies and therefore the net karmic balance is not a constant but keeps changing with time.

If we wish to improve our present situation in order to be happy and enjoy life, we have to necessarily increase the +ve karmic energies and reduce the –ve karmic energies thereby achieving a sustained +ve net karmic balance over a period of time.

Pranic Grand Master Choa Kok Sui has explained in great details the means by which everyone has the capability and the choice to affect his/her karmic balance. He has laid down some rules and principles which act as a practical guide to improving our life and reduce suffering. 

We will now try to understand what these principles and rules are. 

To generate positive karma, the essential actions that everyone needs to follow in the prescribed descending order are as follows:-

Ø Tithing or donation – We must donate at least 10% of our total income as follows;

o Parents

o Spiritual Guru

o Spiritual institutions

o Spiritually endowed places of worships like Temples, Church, and Mosques.

o Charitable institutions

It is important to note that tithing is to be done out of total income and not savings. It is upon us to use a personal allocation ratio between the various recipients and in a descending order. If the level of suffering is very high, we should try and increase the ratio from 10% to 15%.

Ø Service

It is incumbent upon us to engage in any act of service without expectation of fees or charges. Ideally, we should spend at least an hour a week in selfless act of service for public good and more hours if the level of suffering is high and unbearable. Service can be in any institution for public good like teaching, medical assistance, social work, spiritual activities, disaster relief, skills training. This method is very powerful and generates very high positive karma if done with clean, honest and selfless intentions.

If after performing tithing & service regularly, we do not experience a change in the overall situation it should be understood that the suffering is for a greater cause and should be calmly accepted and experienced. Some karmic lessons are required to be learnt thru suffering in the present life which is the purpose of our incarnation. Hence, we should submit and bear thru the period of turbulence.

To avoid & decrease negative karma, what we need to be aware of and practice in our daily life every instant are the following rules:-

Ø Practice forgiveness & mercy (this Law is very very powerful and supersedes law of Karma. If we forgive, then only are we forgiven)

Ø Non cruelty & non injury in thoughts, words, actions (very critical. Repeated acts of cruelty & injury will generally return back to us as severe & critical health disorders)

Ø Non stealing in thoughts, words, actions

Ø Non lying

Ø Honesty & integrity

Ø Showing Compassion & kindness (very critical)

Ø Non jealousy & hatred

Ø Avoid revenge & vengeance

Ø Improper relationships & lust

These are very simple guidelines but very difficult to practice in our materialistic existence with diverse forces acting on us and pulling us in different directions. Emotions & desires control our activities and we are generally helpless to resist them or even understand their real nature. It is the mysterious mind that is in real control.

It is therefore imperative that we try and establish some level of control over our mind and the only way to achieve this objective is to fix a daily practice of 15-30 minutes of some form of meditative technique. This is very effective in calming the mind, bringing down the level of emotional forces and giving us the opportunity to be alert, aware and conscious of our mind and its desires & thought’s. Only by this method, we may be sure that negative karma is not generated or is at least decreased by discrimination and rejection of negative thoughts and desires. 

These rules & principles are certainly doable by all of us but require that we have faith and make a firm step towards practice. Motivation is provided by the desire to be rid of our suffering but the active power to practice can only come from faith. Therefore, we must first make a leap of faith and then ask the questions. Mere reading alone is useless in this age of Kali. Action or kriya is the key, for in this Kali Yuga we shall receive the fruits of our karma whether good or bad in this very lifetime. 

"The same thought repeated with will, power & concentration tends to materialize." This is a secret to success. Think about it.

Occult Cosmology of the Universe as per Kashmir Shaivism

Swami Lakshmanjoo was the foremost modern realized saint and teacher of the Trika school of Kashmir Shaivism . 

In his occult book, "Kashmir Shaivism - The Secret Supreme", he has explained in great details the science, structure and mechanics of creation of Universe. This article will attempt to share and explain in brief some of the fundamental concepts described in this priceless book. 

The Universe is made of 36 tattvas or elements. Out of these, in the order of ascension from the gross to the subtlest (lowest to the highest), 31 of these occult elements are ; 

Panca mahabhutas - 5 great elements

prithvi - earth
jala - water
tejas - fire
vayu - air
akasa - ether

Panca tanmatras - 5 subtle elements

gandha - smell
rasa - taste
rupa - form
sparsa - touch
sabda - sound

Pancakarmendriyas - 5 organs of action
upastha - creative
payu - excretion
pada - foot
pani - hand
vak - speech

Panca jnanendriyas - 5 organs of cognition

ghrana - nose
rasana - tongue
caksu - eye
tvak - skin
srotra - ear

Antahkaranas - 5 internal organs
manas - mind
buddhih - intellect
ahamkara - ego connected with objectivity
prakriti - nature
purusa - ego connected with subjectivity

Sat Kanchukas - 6 coverings
niyati - limitation of place
kaala- limitation of time
raga - limitation of attachment
vidya - limitation of knowledge
kalaa - limitation of action or creativity
maya - illusion of individuality

These 31 elements bind us in the subjective-objective experience of the Universe. The remaining 5 tattvas belong to the highest level of pure subjective yogic experience. Maya or illusion  is the tattva that forms the boundary between these 2 levels of experiences.

Swamiji also explains that there are 118 worlds or Universes that are created out of these 36 tattvas and they are arranged in 5 zones of Kaala or time. These Universes are not in a separate zone or space outside the Creator or Para Brahman but is a self created reflection within it like a Hologram.

In Kashmir Shaivism, the Parabrahman is Lord Shiva. He creates and dissolves the universe with his energies. These are 5 primary energies which are represented in the 16 vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet. This is also the Shiva tattva, the 1st tattva. The remaining 35 tattvas are represented in the consonants of the Sanskrit alphabet. It is collectively known as the Shakti tattva. Sanskrit alphabets therefore represent divine energies.

It must be however remembered that Vedic Sanskrit  around 1800 BC was an oral language with no writing script. It was Panini around 400 BC who created the rules of Classical Sanskrit grammar and thence writing tradition's developed using Brahmi, Sharda and later modern Devanagari script. There is an element of subjective interpretation in the reconstruction of Sanskrit language which implies that no one can claim with 100% certainty how a Sanskrit verse, say in a written redacted (copy) Rig Veda text, is to be accurately pronounced compared to the original spoken verse in around 1800 BC.   

Mantras are a specific combination of the Sanskrit alphabet that are very powerful and effective if chanted in the right pitch, metre, place and time.They derive their power and energy from the sound vibration of the alphabets that are designed to resonate with the frequencies of the divine energies and induce localization of these powerful energies on Earth to achieve their desired end objective. This is still an amazing level of efficacy considering that Sanskrit is an interpreted and reconstructed language. That is why it has been called a Divine Language.

Is Dendera "Light Bulb" a depiction of occult practice of Kundalini awakening?

Look closely at the image below. What do you see? Is it a light bulb? Many have claimed that this is a depiction of ancient Egyptian lighting technology.

                                                                 Dendera_light

This article discusses the comparative analysis of the wall relief (image above) in the crypt below Hathor temple (Dendera, Egypt) using the knowledge and concepts of an advanced Vedic/Oriental occult yogic practice and establishes a high level of similarity and functional co-relationship. This leads to the conclusion that there are strong links between the two ancient civilizations and raises questions about the relative historical antiquity and chronology of these civilizations. It also suggests that the ancient egyptian hieroglyphs interpretation may also have a reasonable basis in ancient oriental occult science rather than only Egyptian mythology.   

I have reasons to believe that the wall relief image above depicts symbolically the occult process of Kundalini awakening. 

The figure holding triangular objects in both hands is the egyptian god Thoth or Master of ceremonies who guides and controls the whole process of Kundalini awakening and ascension and maintains “equilibrium” and “balance” (Thoth with the Baboon face represents equilibrium).  

•  The triangular objects represent quartz crystal that absorb,control and focus Kundalini energy as it rises upwards inside the spine to avoid fatal injury to the vital organs.

The sphere on the head of figure sitting on the block represents activated Crown chakra which is the ultimate destination and receptacle for the fully awakened Kundalini energy. 

• The figure sitting on the block is “Air God” and represents the use of occult advanced breathing techniques (Pranayama) to activate the dormant Kundalini using specific hand and sitting positions. (Mudra)

Djed, the pillar in front of the air god, represents stability, endurance, steadfastness and its equivalent is the Basic chakra. 

The tube on the bottom of the image represents the spinal column thru which the Kundalini energy flows upwards. 

The tube starts below the Djed. It implies start point of the Serpent/Kundalini energy which is located at the base of spine and below the Basic chakra as per occult literature.   

The figure of a woman facing the Djed represents “current” or “flow” or “movement” suggesting the Kundalini starts to move upwards like a current. 

The figures facing each other and holding palms represent love, affection and represent the Heart chakra.

The Lotus represents symbolically a Chakra. It is positioned near the groin of the standing figure and implies the Sex chakra. 

The Snake represents the fully awakened Kundalini energy as it is not coiled. 

The “Bulb” is the gradual expansion of the power of Kundalini energy as it rises upwards inside the spine and passes thru each major chakra.It also suggests the expansion of the human Aura. 

On the basis of above interpretation of the image and its constituent parts, it can be concluded with reasonable certainty that this wall relief is a visual and symbolic rendering of the ancient science of Kundalini awakening and its ascension from below the base of the human spine and upwards thru it and finally into the Crown chakra above the head. 

This occult practice is believed to provide access to the inner world and communication with higher divine beings for wisdom, power and guidance. 

This analysis suggests a close link between the ancient Egyptian and the Vedic/Oriental civilizations that may have not been directly evidenced or suggested before.It leads to credible questions regarding the nature of this relationship and the relative antiquity and chronology of these civilizations.  

The functional interpretation of the hieroglyphs shows up parallels with Vedic/oriental occult wisdom science and requires further research and elaboration. This would lead to a greater understanding of the entire body of ancient Egyptian architecture and writing especially the occult hidden wisdom science.
