Many thanks for this. Yes, that is what I thought.
What Ra postulates is very like the Hindu god Vishnu dreaming the universe into existence. When he awakes, the Universe (a cycle) ends.
For Hindus today, Vishnu is the source of all Creation and he also sustains and protects the Universe. Vishnu is the 'All-Pervading One', derived from “
vis" in Sanskrit which means both ‘to spread’ and ‘to be present everywhere’. Even when there was Nothing, there was Vishnu,
present as a nameless, formless, dormant energy. In this un-manifested (
nirguna) state, even Vishnu was not aware of his own being. He just was. In this Nothingness, when the first ripple of awareness stirred , spontaneously and of its own will, the formless energy became Vishnu, the Supreme Being,
Parabrahman. (
MJF: Notice here the similarity with the name Abraham)
As
Parabrahma, Vishnu lies in a dream like state on
the serpent Adisesha Ananta who is Time, without beginning or end. Ananta floats for all eternity on the waters of the Ksheer Sagar (
the ocean of Cosmic Consciousness). When Brahma begins the process of Creation, it is Vishnu who expands into everything
and becomes part of everything. Now he is
Brahman, the Cosmic Consciousness. As if he is seeing a dream, Vishnu watches Brahma create the Universe. By the act of watching his dream, Vishnu sustains the Universe.
When Vishnu wakes from his dream one cycle of Creation ends with another beginning when he falls asleep again.
However, before the Hindu Trinity of Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva emerged, Brahman was the Supreme Being and creator. He connoted the highest universal principle, the ultimate reality in the universe. The definition of
brahman presents the deity as eternal, conscious, irreducible, infinite, omnipresent, and the spiritual core of the universe of finiteness and change, which takes us back to the concept of the aether as pure consciousness and a singularity (no dimensions). This also links with the Hindu concept of
Maya, which originally denoted the magic power with which a god can make human beings believe in what turns out to be an illusion. By extension, it later came to mean the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real. For the Hindu Nondualists,
Maya is thus that cosmic force that presents the
infinite brahman (the supreme being) as the finite phenomenal world.
Maya is reflected on the individual level by human ignorance (ajnana) of the real nature of the self, which is mistaken for the empirical ego, but which is in reality identical with
brahman.
The above, of course, reflects much of what the C's have taught us over the years. It also shows again how fundamental scientific knowledge can be preserved through myths and religions. We should therefore note then the Vedic texts, which form the basis of the Hindu belief systems, were inherited from the Paranthas, who were one of three racial branches of the Atlanteans. Were the Paranthas the original '
Sons of the Law of One' I wonder? Was it their beliefs that brought them into conflict with the Kantekkians or just a power struggle between two STS orientated groups? It would certainly be interesting to study the etymology of the name Paranths since in
Ancient Greek παρά pará means: "beside; next to, near, from;
against, contrary to”.
Apparently, another way in which Brahman can be understood is
Saguna Brahman. Saguna Brahman, is the idea that Brahman has form and can be understood through images. These images are manifestations of God. The depictions each show a different manifestation of Brahman, where Brahman appears in human or animal form. This means that Hindus can understand Brahman through the thousands of different deities in Hinduism and their qualities or attributes.
For example, by looking at an image of the god
Shiva, Hindus can understand part of Brahman through seeing his qualities. Shiva is often depicted holding a
trident (a three-pronged spear), which symbolises the destructive element of Brahman. Hence, like the Greek god
Poseidon and the British
Britannia, Shiva is a deity who is depicted carrying a trident ("trent"), which may denote a superweapon of legend or a form of plasma discharge:
