The Cosmic Expansion of Light

by Maria

  (...previous) These correspond to the states of the Soul of each individual: the darker, the less evolved. It is Karmic matter that transmits to the vital Monad its six types of colours. When the Monad reaches the supreme isolation (kaivalya) and is absolutely free and purified of karma, it rises irresistibly to the planes corresponding to crystal colours, reaching the zenith, like an air bubble deprived of gravity. This metaphor of colours in Jainism is absolutely scientific, similar to of the functioning the Cosmos.
I mention the Jain as they are a fundamental pillar of Indian religiosity. Brought or established in distant times by the first Tīrthankaras , it is natural and logic that all later philosophical and religious systems are derived from it. Although with innovations, even the Veda adapted itself to the essence of Jainism. From here onwards, all was based on this way of thinking, with additions and adaptations of the great philosophers or religious persons of India. I am not sectarian concerning Jainism, but it is, as a matter of fact, the basis of the Indian way of thinking, in the same way as the Bible, starting in the Old Testament, became the essential basis of Judaism, of Christianism and influencing even Islamism. In a certain way, the Bible became the guide of western religious thought.

Sāṃkhya (§), Vedānta and even the Bhagavad-Gītā are interpretations and understandings of this philosophy, archaic as it may be, but created or founded to be part of human evolution, as its silent branches spread themselves discreetly and universally. As such, the basis of the Indian philosophical thought is established on the doctrine of the Tīrthankaras. The other above mentioned philosophies, Sāṃkhya and Vedānta, are methods adapted to the evolutionary mind of man, which being so noble, keeps branching out as his intelligence evolves. Jainism may be compared to a tree: it is the root, and all other philosophies the trunks and branches which extend infinitely.
Going back to our basic subject, we conclude that the higher the distance, the higher the velocity an object acquires. Earth’s magnetism attracts, as it is a dense planet, still with little evolution. The speed of an object is higher when it is still at a great distance, because the atmosphere is more rarefied; the air near Earth is denser, far from it, it is lighter and subtler. Approaching Earth makes bodies heavier, as it is a dense, solid body and its magnetic emanation is a force that attracts everything; any object we might drop falls irresistibly, and it is that attraction of matter or gravitational field of the Earth that keeps our feet on the ground.
The body or the object does not weigh less when in space, the weight is always the same; the difference is in the energy of the air, or prāṇa, being purer (lighter) or heavier. Near Earth, the energy becomes dense and the atmosphere rends the movement of objects difficult, whereas the rarefied space energy does not condition the speed that their own weight propels; from their starting point, they easily go down to the matter that attracts them.

In respect to the Cosmos, everything is measured in terms of levels of Consciousness. Thus, there is a scale or dimension of Consciousness, or level of Consciousness, for the Cosmos, and this includes space, time and consciousness, or level of Intelligence, and there is the Dimension of each Solar System, as well as the one of each Planet. There are different levels within a vast Dimension of Consciousness and the beings live according to it. From Earth, we have a limited view of the skies, like watching a landscape from a window. What would be the view of this system from planet Jupiter? Would it be possible to enter Jupiter with this degree of earthly consciousness, to observe and have the same understanding about what is seen from Earth?
