The thesis of the article is no better than this creation story. Note: "Vasistha's Yoga" is my go-to source. Sure, I'm advocating it. I've been studying it daily for 4-5 years, a little at a time, second time through almost complete. I'm also nearly finished with the The Wave, after two months or so reading a little at at time. I find startling consistencies in my daily reading of Vasistha and my daily reading of The Wave. It's quite uncanny how many times the two daily reading reflect one another. Then again is it coincidental that the ripe coconut falls when the crow sits on it? ;)

VASISTHA continued:
The cosmic subtle body that arose as the creator Brahma by sheer coincidence (just as a ripe coconut falls when a crow alights on it) continues to exist on account of the inherent nature of consciousness. It itself is the universe. The seer, the seen and the act of seeing are all unreal. Or if they are all considered real, even then they are all Brahman, and Brahman alone is real.
The cosmic subtle body arises of its own accord and that itself becomes a solid substance by being constantly thought of as such, even as a dream may appear to be real when it is prolonged. Thus, even materiality or substantiality arises of its own accord from the subtle body. 'I am this', 'I am that' - thus the notions that arise in that body appear as mountains and the various directions, but all this is mere delusion, appearance or optical illusion. When the subtle body is thought of as material or physical substance by the creator Brahma, such materiality arises.
Consciousness considers itself as Brahma the creator; it considers, 'This is body' and 'This is the support for the body' and thus creates a relationship between the body and the support with thereafter becomes a bondage. When there is the notion of reality in unreal phenomena, there is bondage. When many such notions arise, then diversity is brought into being.
That person then utters sounds, makes gestures and indicates whatever he wishes to convey. He sings the mantras of the veda after uttering OM. Soon he engages himself in diverse activities with the help of all these. He is of the nature of the mind and whatever he thinks, that he experiences. It cannot be difficult for one to see his own nature and that which has arisen in him on account of his own nature. However, when he thus perceived the notion of the world within himself, soon it became a solid reality. Though this physical and material universe is but a long dream or magic product, it shines as if it is true in the subtle body or Brahma the creator.
Hence, it is clear that the physical or material universe does not exist at any time anywhere. The subtle body itself appears to be the solid body on account of the notion of such solidity arising in it repeatedly. Its very source is unreal. The sole reality in all this is Brahman. There is naught here but Brahman.

Vasistha's Yoga, VI.2:189

Except at least Vasistha specifically concludes that it is all consciousness and everything else is BS anyway. Note that one could easily equate Brahman to 7D, Brahma et al to 6D, lower gods not mentioned here to 4D. The passage (from my daily reading regimen) even specifically references the 'body' and 'support for the body' (aka neurotransmitters and the like, see Wave Vol. 8) as bondage. Then Vasistha goes further to disparage the vedas as spawned from the utterance of OM and the implication is the bondage associated with descent from consciousness into mind. The reader may have already connected that cosmic word to the Word as it is referenced by the writer of James. But I digress. It's just another creation story.

What I lament, and the emotional charge of lamentation would be due to bondage of associated mental and physiological conditioning, such as is referenced in Vasistha's creation narrative, is that scientists are so bound by linear thinking that they can barely see how ontologically untenable it is. At least the author rubs up against the reality of timeless, non-linear, infinite potentiality, but still can't get past that by suggesting "compressed time". Could that be a cause-and-effect, linear step in the right direction?
