An Overview About Quantum TGD
This chapter provides a summary about various approaches to quantum TGD. The discussions are based on the general vision that quantum states of the Universe correspond to the modes of classical spinor fields in the "world of the classical worlds" identified as the infinite-dimensional configuration space of 3-surfaces of H=M^4\times CP_2 (more or less-equivalently, the corresponding 4-surfaces defining generalized Bohr orbits)
„Kristietības principu realizācija: modernās zinātnes un sabiedrības rašanās priekšnoteikums”
No Kristus pie Krišnas: jaunā reliģiskā paradigma? From Christ to Krishna: A New Religious Paradigm?
Globālais hinduisms ir daudzveidīgs. Parasti hinduisms, pielāgojoties Rietumu patērētājiem, lielā mērā transformējas. Starptautiskā Krišnas Apziņas Biedrība ir viena no populārākajām Rietumu hinduisma kustībām, kaut arī tās dibinātājs nebija gatavs uz kompromisiem ar Rietumu reliģiozitāti. Raksts atbild uz jautājumu, kādēļ Krišnas Apziņas biedrība, kas sakņojas Čaitanjas vaišnavisma tradīcijā, ir piedzīvojusi ļoti nenozīmīgas izmaiņas mācībā un reliģiskajā praksē, un tomēr kļuva populāra eiropiešu vidū. Tas ir kļuvis iespējams pateicoties tam, ka vaišnavisma teoloģiskā sistēma ir tuva kristietībai un līdz ar to ir atpazīstama rietumniekiem; arī tādēļ, ka Čaitanjas vaišnavismā notiek mūsdienās pieprasītā abstrakto teoloģisko kategoriju antropoloģizācija.
From Christ to Krishna: A New Religious Paradigm?
Global Hinduism is not homogenous. Usually in the process of adjustment to the Western consumer Hinduism transforms to a large extent. Although the founder of ISKCON was not ready to make a compromise with Western worldview and religiosity, ISKCON became one of the most popular forms of Western Hinduism. The article answers the question why the doctrine and religious practice of ISKCON, rooted in Caitanya Vaishnavism, have experienced just a slight transformation and at the same time are so popular among Europeans. It happens because the theological system of Caitanya Vaishnavism is rather close to Christianity and hence is recognizable to the bearers of Judeo-Christian legacy. On the other hand ISKCON incarnates the necessary anthropological interpretation or transformation of abstract theological ideas
Evolution and Creative Order: David Bohm multi-time Evolūcija un kreatīvā kārtība: Dāvida Boma multi-laiks
In place of traditional controverse, evolution versus creationism, we suggest many quantum mechanical theories, that from different points of views trying to consider basic physical theories and even some principal aspects of consciousness reconstruct what may be called multi-time, thus giving another life to David Bohm's idea of multi-time
Mathematics is Physics
In series of articles we continue to advance idea that mathematics and physics is the same. We bring forward two basic assumptions as principles. First is the primacy of life as opposed to dominating reductionism, and second – immaturity of epistemology. Second principle says that we have reached stage of epistemology where we have stepped outside simple perceptibility only on level of individuality (since Aristotle) but not on level of collective mind. The last stage have reached only most of religious teachings but not physical science that is still under oppressive influence of reductionism. This causes that what we call research in physical science turns out to be simply instrumental improvement of perception within visional confinement we call field of information. We discuss and try to apply principle that within field of information we can’t invent or discover anything that doesn’t exist
Block Universe - According to the Formalism X4 = ict Space-time is Timeless
According to the formalism d = v x t fourth dimension of space-time is spatial too. In formula X4 = ict symbol t represents numerical order of material change i.e. motion running in space. Flow of time is flow of numerical order of materal change that we measure with clocks. Fundamental unit of numerical order t0,t1,t2...tn of material change is a Planck time tp. Numerical order of material change tn-1 is "before" numerical order of material change tn equivalently as natural number n-1 is "before" natural number n. Flow of physical time is a flow of numerical order t0,t1,t2...tn of material change and runs in a timeles 4D space
Zeno's Achilles\Tortoise Race and Reconsiderations of Some Mathematical Paradigms
An original observation of Zeno's Achilles\Tortoise Race Paradox is introduced. It leads to novel understanding of the foundations of mathematical science, especially by observing Nonlocality and Locality as its fundamental building-blocks. Locality is precisely its own formula, thus this formula cannot be used as a solution for anything else but its own unique case. Nonlocality is a formula that can be used as a solution for more than one case. Locality on its own is total isolation. Non-locality on its own is total connectivity. No total realm is researchable. A researchable realm only exists if Non-locality and Locality are not total. Under Nonlocality\ Locality Linkage we get a universe where Non-locality is its common law; this is expressed by many Localities that are gathered by the common law, but can never be Nonlocal,as is the common law. Non-locality\Locality Linkage can be perceived as "The Tree of Knowledge", which is the one organic and ever complex (and therefore non-entropic) realm that enables one, and only one simple law (Non-locality), to be the common knowledge of many Local expressions of it (we show that Leibniz Chaitin Complexity [11] Challenge is the organic incompleteness of Non-locality\Locality Linkage)
Myth and Mind: The Origin of Human Consciousness in the Discovery of the Sacred
By accepting that the formal structure of human language is the key to understanding the uniquity of human culture and consciousness and by further accepting the late appearance of such language amongst the Cro-Magnon, I am free to focus on the causes that led to such an unprecedented threshold crossing. In the complex of causes that led to human being, I look to scholarship in linguistics, mythology, anthropology, paleontology, and to creation myths themselves for an answer. I conclude that prehumans underwent an existential crisis, i.e., the realisation of certain mortality, that could be borne only by the discovery-creation of the larger realm of symbolic consciousness once experienced as the sacred (but today we know it as the world — as opposed to our immediate natural environment and that of other animals). Thus, although we, the human species, are but one species among innumerable others, we differ in kind, not degree. This quality is our symbolically enabled (culturally constructed) self-consciousness, the fortress of cultural identity that empowers but also imprisons awareness
The twentieth-century crisis of western culture
20. gs. refleksijas par kultūras krīzi ir ļoti daudzšķautņainas un daudzkrāsainas. Šo pārdomu mērķis ir drīzāk izkristalizēt un atrast būtiskākās atziņas, kas veicinātu saprast krīzes dabu, izcelsmi un sekas. Mūsdienu sabiedrība ir nonākusi situācijas priekšā, kad neatgriezeniski notiek vērtību pārvērtēšana. Nu jau vairāk kā 100 gadus mēs vēl aizvien atrodamies meklējumos. Meklējumu gars neapsīks, kamēr vien atradīsimies šajā vēsturiskajā pārejas posmā
