Enlightened knowledge

About the physical universe: Knowledge which brings the understanding of a purposeful and designed universe, which is controlled and organized by a cosmic power that no human intellect would ever be able to conceive. This understanding can bring the realization that everything in the universe, starting from the tinniest to the largest structures, are entangled together as an inseparable whole, and every existence has a meaning in bringing forth the cosmic symphony where every note sustains and enhances the existence of the other. Finally, what emerges in the small carries the beauty and order of the whole.

About consciousness and evolution: Knowledge which imparts the understanding about how life evolves and transcends from a primitive stage to a higher level. It is a knowledge about how one may avoid regressing towards primitive life by following a lesser path, and instead encounter the greater mystery of the creation of the cosmos and life by following a higher way, which is the path of the cosmic mind. It unfolds the mind towards greater and greater awareness of truth about the oneness of all which exist in the universe. Every human being possess the capacity to develop their minds by projecting them towards different spheres of consciousness. The way one projects the consciousness beyond the primitive life to the cosmic mind, which reveals the unity of all existent beings, becomes the foundation of experience of reality of one`s life. Thus by “willing to project higher” one can evolve from the life tied to primitive instincts to a stage illumined by the “cosmic-mind”.

Enlightened awareness

Spirituality: It springs from the awareness of the "higher-self”, which exists as a part of a the cosmic self, to whom all belong. This awareness  can open many unknown frontiers of the mind. By this way one may realize the paucity of human knowledge, and limitations of the world, which one may have built based on logical arguments and relations comprehended through the use of scientific reason. The spirituality is a way to experience oneness with the cosmos, and the cosmic consciousness, which penetrates all existence. It is a way for the mind to seek freedom from the constraints of the material laws, and thus experience freedom from bondage of the world tied to perceptions. This awareness may open ways to experience universal love, which can inspire one to make sacrifices for securing freedom and meaning of life of the fellow human beings.

Enlightened spirituality is a realization of oneness of all, which can open insight into the mystery of how the cosmic being manifest in human life. This realization takes the “worldly form” depending on the state of the evolution of the mind in which the ego has taken its abode. It is a way to free oneself from the darkness which tradition, culture, belief may promote.

God and religion: One remains aware that the evolution of religion and spirituality is expressions of social institutions, which attempt to provide answers to the fundamental questions of existence. It is a way for the people, facing myriads of challenges of survival, to seek psychological security. The religious faiths, which create conflicts and wars with other faiths, and divide human beings according to religion and culture, are undesirable in an enlightened world. While accepting the premises of science, which have formed the foundation of modern culture, and recognizing the success of science in explaining things, which were once attributed to divine agents, one needs to be aware of the existence which has no scientific explanation. Enlightened mind is able to experience the presence of God, who exists above knowledge, and cannot be confirmed and explained with intellectual arguments.

 

Science and religion: Enlightened mind seeks to confront the deepest questions of existence without prejudice to science, or spirituality. It is based on the conviction that human existence cannot be reduced only to phenomena, which can be tested, proved or disproved by using scientific methods. Our existence extends to other dimensions where mind may have a different reality outside the realm of matter. Although mind may emerge in association with matter, it is not synonymous with matter. The matter describes our physical state on which the will and mind take their abode. Mind appears from a source of consciousness which impregnates all beings. The state of evolution of the body decides the way the mind emerges in the world by using body as  its vehicle. In dissolution of the body the consciousness, which took worldly form as “will”, does not disappear. It remains as existence which cannot be explained by law-bound states of things. With increasing knowledge of science, and the liberation of human beings from material needs, and growing security of life against survival, larger groups of human beings shoul

d get opportunities for deeper exploration of this awareness of the “cosmic-self”.

Enlightened moral

The way the cosmos is organized and designed gives us the perspective about what is right and wrong, and what should be the universal moral basis of actions when we interact with the fellow human beings and nature. The questions of right and wrong  are associated with the forces of the will, which bring order or chaos, suffering or joy, freedom or bondage. The forces, which may liberate and free life from the bondage and servitude of nature, or the primitive instincts of the mind, can be called the right paths. Actions, which recognize the relations, which exist among all in an entangled universe, and abide by the principle of harmony existing in the cosmos, and draw life to seek the higher realm of consciousness, may be defined as the right way of living.
