Guruji's teachings
Guruji uses two musical notes and the beat between them to explain how looking at the world changes it.
From the teachings of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (Guruji). Post title: "Consciousness as the Creator: Beats, Observation, and the New Physics". Posted on Guruji's blog by Vira Chandra on 5 November 2016. The original also has a photo of Guruji, which is not copied here. Originally published at amritananda-natha-saraswati.blogspot.com.
Guruji: Let me give an example. You are all familiar with music. When two frequencies are nearly equal, we hear them and also their difference as a beat frequency. Notes with frequencies 1000 and 1050 create a new wave of frequency 50, the difference. The wave shows up as a peak, then again as a peak, with nothing in between, and so on, 50 times a second. All these uncountable number of peaks going in all of space and time refer to the same wave. It can also be thought of as the same particle existing at all these places and times simultaneously. But the peaks cannot be observed separately unless you spread out to infinity, which means you become pure awareness without boundaries.
The nature of consciousness is to observe. Once a conscious subject observes a peak, the observed peak becomes a particle, killing all other peaks. Therefore, to observe means to change. Also, particles are creations and killings of mind. This is the basis of new physics. This is the world view that is accepted by all scientists now. This is how our world is made. This view has really very far reaching consequences. In a nutshell, it is saying, the world you are in is made by you, or that you, a mere drop, contain the ocean, the world. And there are infinite worlds made by infinite conscious entities.
The new physics says: mind and matter; consciousness and brain are not different; they are one and the same. So the spiritual consciousness cannot conflict with physical brain, because they are one and the same. They don’t need a connection, they are already connected.
Brain is matter. Consciousness is non-matter. But non-matter knows what is happening in matter. How does it know? What is the connection between the two?
This new world view puts you right in the center stage as the creator. You have the free will to change the destiny as you wish. That was not possible in the older view. It rewrites the concepts of space and time.
"Consciousness as the Creator: Beats, Observation, and the New Physics", as posted on Guruji's blog by Vira Chandra on 5 November 2016. The text is kept as in the original, including the order of the paragraphs.
Guruji trained as a nuclear physicist, and here he uses that background to say something Kaula practice also says: the one who sees is part of what is seen. Inner worship starts from this. You are a drop that holds the whole ocean.
He describes spreading out to infinity as becoming pure awareness without boundaries. In meditation this can be as simple as resting as the one who notices, without fixing on any single thought.
If observing changes things, then how you look at your body, other people and the world around you matters. In Kaula practice the body and nature are worshipped as the Goddess. Seeing them that way is part of the worship.
In this post Guruji says it does. He writes that the world you are in is made by you, and that there are infinite worlds made by infinite conscious beings.
When two notes are close in pitch you also hear their difference as a beat. Guruji's example is 1000 and 1050, which gives a beat of 50 peaks a second.
Guruji says that when a conscious subject observes one peak of the wave, that peak becomes a particle and the others vanish. That is why he says to observe means to change.
Guruji says the new physics treats mind and matter, consciousness and brain, as one and the same. So spiritual consciousness does not conflict with the physical brain.
Yes. He says this view puts you at the centre as the creator, with the free will to change your destiny as you wish.
