NAM - Ethics/ Embryos/the eternity of now

[Guest guest]

Om Amrtesvaryai Namah!!

 

Namaste all!

 

What you say Mani sounds interesting...and very thorny...no matter

which side of the debate you find yourself on, there will be plenty of

opposition from the "other" side....

 

in a way you are incorrect though...as if we produce "cabbagey" or

"porky" or "chickeny" material, even if it doesn't come from a cabbage

or a pig or chicken...still in a strictest sense you can't call it

ahimsa...as when you eat it, you are harming the cells which go to

make it up...

 

Actually the strictest "ahimsa" is only a theory, and in practice

impossible, unless we are willing just to starve to death...and even

then, we are crushing ants beneath our feet every day.. cutting the

lawn, killing mice and rats...and mosquitoes....so the ideal is a good

ideal, and worthy of approach insofar as we are capable, but NO ONE is

capable of total ahimsa or the creation would be unable to continue...

 

now if we are speaking in the spirit sense however, just as Sri Krsna

said...no one is born, or dies...and thus ahimsa is the actuality for

us all, even when we eat pig or chicken or fish....as we can not harm

the being inhabiting the body...only the body...

 

Even the physicists are starting to talk like us Advaita Vedantin

types....even they are starting to say that there IS NO TIME.....

 

Einstein's attempts to produce a unified field theory, which founderd

for ever, have been reworked a little, by a few mathematicians...and

one of them reworked the quantum mechanical equations of i think

Erwin Schroedinger...and used them in relativistic

calculations..."macro-physics" as compared to the "micro-physics" of

the atom and electrons and such...

 

you know, he got something which worked quite well, IF he left out the

variables for TIME>....

 

thus they are starting to think that there is NO TIME and that time is

basically a function of the mind...or of watching mechanical objects

moving around the clock face..(the hands)

 

They are talking eternity in every moment of the now...that there is

ONLY the now!!!

 

So although i don't have any answers to your dilemma re using embryos

for science or healing...i am interested in this topic...

 

the more we investigate the world the more that physics comes to

resemble Vedanta...in fact it's no secret that many of the greatest

mathematicians and physicists are deeply religious and mystically

oriented folks....they know just how little they know, and they are

impressed with the great wonder of the creation....Every where i look,

i see confirmations of the ancient teachings!!!

 

In the Divine Mother's Love

and in Her Service

 

as ever,

your own self,

Hi!

I did not say it was ahimsa, but "l
