Einstein,
the ether and relativism
If
we want to figure out out the truth about the
facts that make up our reality, we have to
begin with determining the method to proceed.
In ancient India it is called
nyâya,
which according the Sanskrit dictionary means
as much as method, standard, rule, axiom,
plan, the right manner, justice, logical
argument or inference. In the logic of our
planned approach emerges, so as to arrive at
the proper inference, an image of reality, a
standard way of operating in the right
manner. This logic, itself thereto called
nyâyika,
consists of five limbs:
1
General thesis.
2 Doubt.
3 Counter argument.
4 Conclusion.
5 Summary.
It is of
course possible to call for the philosopher
R. Descartes (1596-1650) with his method so
very much alike, and the philosophers I. Kant
(1724-1804) for the duality and G. W. F.
Hegel (1770-1831) for the idea of thesis
opposing antithesis in order to arrive at a
synthesis, we may consult S. Freud
(1856-1939) for an analysis and F. Nietzsche
(1844-1900) for realizing ourselves, but then
are we building one house with many master
builders. There is after all also the (elder)
philosopher W.
v. Ockham
(1285-1349) who, with his well-known
'razor'-argument, poses the question why we
would utilize different elements when a
single one would suffice. To prevent a
subsequent tumbling over one another of
master builders for our filognostic mansion,
we first of all, for the first half of part
I, limit ourselves to the vedic vision in
reation to Descartes, since he specifically
has the method as his subject. And even him
we will have to abandon ultimately, since
also he, not conversant with it as he was in
his time, was incapable of covering the
nonwestern tradition about it prior to him
nor the empirical science after him, however
diligent he was. Rationality is something
beautiful and good, reason is essential, the
method of great importance, but it is also
vital, as he states himself, to be
comprehensive in the end. The general thesis
is therefore, with having put India first as
the oldest culture known to us, that that old
culture, as the one master builder, suffices
for a philosophical lead to tackle the
problems of modern man and to arrive at the
filognosy of a syncretic approach of science,
spirituality and religion. For contrary to
Descartes do we with them find evidence of a
respect for scientific facts as the existence
of a galaxy in the midst of other galaxies,
as also a clear description of the problems
we recognize as typically modern. It is of
importance to work for a coherent paradigm
with which the complete whole of our reality
can be properly covered, matters of the
spirit and the gross of matter can be done
justice, and with which everything and
everyone may fit in, so that the person in
his full identity is respected.
Since,
as the
preface
points out, we have to link this love for
knowledge to a certain order of time if we
want to have a life with it, will we also
have to involve a physicist like
Albert
Einstein
(1879-1955) because he, as the figurehead of
our modern intelligence, promulgated the
relativity of the time concept.
Let's
start with him for exercising the method.
According
him would,
to his conception of E = M x C2
for the
universe,
the speed of light be the constant in the
dynamical universe of time and matter. Time
according Einstein and many others who
thought to have understood him, is always
different and depends on the frame of
observation. The correctness of his theory,
implies that the absolute value of time
computations is illusory and that we,
politically, therefore (...) factually can
regulate, settle and control the time any way
we like. I
Newton
(1643-1727)
would be wrong with his absolute idea of a
natural time as the measure for determining
our lawfulness of material existence. That
would be a position all too deterministic. So
be it, but the problem is that we end up with
a couple of conflicting
ideas if we give Einstein the advantage of
doubt in determining what is absolute.
Firstly is it so that we might not understand
Einstein quite right. Time and space are to
his theory not exactly the same, viz. do not
entirely team up. According his theory there
is a difference between the time indicated by
an atomic clock that in an airplane flew
around the world and the time of a similar
atomic clock that was kept in its place. This
was tried and one indeed found a very minute
difference between the atomic clocks the way
the theory
predicted,
even though this experiment from 1972
according some was thus unsatisfactorily
conducted that factually no definitive
conclusion should have been attached to it
(see A.G. Kelly: Hafele
& Keating Tests; Did They Prove
Anything?).
Thus is Einstein correct saying that the time
of a certain place must be taken relative? If
so, is it then really so that this minute
difference, with which also astronauts e.g.
would have to return home, would justify the
difference in time and space we find with the
standard time of our civil order as compared
to the time indicated by sundials? In China
does that difference, at the beginning of the
21th century, amount to some three hours
which in the west of China leads to the civil
disobedience of peasants ignoring the
imposition of the state adamantly, as they
with a to the local time settled clock,
regulate their daily business. When Einstein
thinks to have found an exception to the rule
of the newtonian link of time and space,
doesn't that factually imply that that
connection is thereby confirmed? Isn't folk
wisdom still defending that the exception
confirms the rule? Then why reject Isaac
Newton with his devout, religious and
classical respect for the natural measures of
time the way they are for normal people and
planets?
"...the
failure of the world's physicists
to find such a (satisfactory)
theory, after many years of
intensive research," says Dirac,
"leads me to think that the
aetherless basis of physical
theory may have reached the end
of its capabilities and to see in
the Aether a new hope for the
future".

It
is even worse with the theory of Einstein so
fundamental to our modern relativistic mind
and aversion against especially personal
absolutes. Recently (summer 2005) was the
theory by the italian physicist Maurizio
Consoli questioned to the occasion of
experimental findings in an experiment by the
german physicist Stephan Schiller in
Düsseldorf, on the speed of light that,
according Consoni, the theorist interpreting
the data with greater scrutiny and detachment
than he did, wouldn't be uniform in all
directions, and that it thus would be
directional and that therefore there would be
a certain order of light, a framework, in the
universe. Such
a paradigm clash to experimental findings had
happened before when a certain researcher
named D. C. Miller in 1933 meant that
Michaelson
and Morly,
the physicists that in 1887 initiated the
idea of a constant light speed that Einstein
took as a basis for his theory, had made
mistakes in working from averaged values to
the rotational speed of the earth.
Before
him had Ernst
Mach
(1838-1916) concluded that there was no
definitive proof for the so-called ether as
the fixed frame of reference for a variable
light speed in a vacuum.
To the
measurements of the light speed that
according Miller differed relative to the
position of the earth, would the earth
nevertheless move with a speed of eight
kilometers per second through a medium that
would be something like the ether, the
fundamental element in which all scientists
before Einstein believed as being the medium
in which light would vibrate it's waves.
After
Miller there were, by Yuri
M. Galaev
e.g.,
many more tests conducted with this so-called
M. & M.-experiment with varying results.
The
scientists in 2005, under the lead of
Schiller discovering the same type of
deviations, couldn't accept their own
findings thus; they couldn't believe that
Einstein's theory wouldn't be correct that
states that such findings can't be right, and
so they attributed the deviations found to
systematic error. From a human point of view
that is understandable, since the
consequences for our presently dominating way
of thinking about time and space are hard to
oversee.
Concerning
the speed of light itself that in its
absolute value seems to have dethroned time
as being an absolute measure, there is
another remarkable issue to take notice of.
There exists light that goes three hundred
times faster. Scientists think nothing
special of it since the end of the twentieth
century. How can that be? According Einstein
in 1905 nothing would go faster than the
absolute speed of light namely. But light is,
ever since it halfway the nineties of the
twentieth century was discovered, capable of
speeding 1,7 as fast through a special fiber
optic cable, and even three hundred times as
fast when driven through a gas cloud. The
solution to this riddle is there from 1910:
the limit of the speed of light is only true
for coded light, not for the light
itself. The physicist Daniel Gauthier
confirmed this remedy for saving Eintein's
theory of relativity in 2003, by again
stating that according his findings the limit
of the speed of light indeed, so it seems, is
true for coded light carrying information,
but not for uncoded light. Thus seen is the
speed of light a conditional or apparent
constant and not an absolute constant.
Depending the medium and the type of light,
may light possibly go infinitely fast and can
thus Einstein's formula, which builds on a
speed limit or an absolute constant of speed
in the vacuum of outer space, actually not be
correct at all. To normal circumstances on
our planet earth may the speed of light seem
constant, but it seems to be so that, in the
special circumstances of other conduits
and/or fields, we with Einstein are dealing
with something that is more a theory of
constants than with a theory able to declare
time relative a justified manner (Einstein
himself preferred the formulation 'a theory
of invariants'). By and by it offers no
surprise anymore that, safe for a couple of
zealous scientific fanatics, virtually no one
understands Einstein. For he, from the
perspective of our modern options, doesn't
quite compute.
The
proof is piling up further. A certain
physicist Tom Van Flandern states in an
article titled The
Speed of Gravity &endash; What the
Experiments Say: Physics Letters
A
250:1-11 (1998): 'Recognition of a
faster-than-lightspeed propagation of
gravity, as indicated by all existing
experimental evidence, may be the key to
taking conventional physics to the next
plateau.' The effect of gravity goes
many times faster than light. And that also
is incommensurate with Einstein.
Another matter of dispute
among physicists concerning the speed of
light, is the in 2002 by the internationally
acclaimed physicist, author and broadcaster
Paul
C. W. Davies
in Australia found deviance in the
fine-structural or nuclear constant akin to
the speed of light, which would prove that
the speed of light would gradually have
decreased in our cosmic ontogenesis. Also
João Magueijo (in Faster Than the
Speed of Light reasoning in 2003 against
the so-called Guth inflation-theory that
would explain that effect away) states that
if light in the beginning would have been
faster, that that would offer a better
explanation for the facts of the as yet
maintained theory with the research data
found. But the magazine Nature answered his
scientific soliciting with the reply that
though he, with what he offered, had found an
explanation for some cosmological matters, he
still had no comprehensive solution to offer
and thus had to be turned down! Wasn't
Einstein with all his followers also today
not searching for the 'Theory of Everything'?
Must we positively accept him then?
It seems that
landed here we're ready for the psychologist
that studies the phenomenon of
rationalization and repression in association
with systems of thought. We're thinking here
of the analogy of the analytical psychologist
Carl Jung We denken hier aan de analogie van
de analytische psycholoog Carl Jung
(1875-1961) die, gelijk aan Consoli met
Einstein's constanten, Sigmund Freud
(1856-1939), who, equal to Consoli in
relating to Einstein's constants, called
Sigmund Freud, the original psychoanalyst and
father of that science - and, notably, a
friend of Einstein -, himself a complete
neurotic. And let's be honest here; is
relativism really effective in assuring the
progress of mankind on it's way to peace and
justice? The atomic bomb and the nuclear
power plant that do effectively convert mass
into energy, don't seem to succeed in it.
Maybe we have to reconsider our dear Father
of Time as a preliminary conclusion accepting
that Einstein maybe wasn't right in every
way. Science happens to consist of trial and
error, that is the power of its
progress.
Doubt
the galore thus with the existing
relativistic paradigm. One doesn't have to be
a rocket-scientist for that either. On the
internet could
in 2005 in in
the dutch science n
forum
wetenschapsforum.nl
a lay-discussionbe followed between in
physics interested enthusiasts arguing on the
particle of light. From their guesswork it is
evident how impossible it is to understand
all the peculiar conclusions of Einstein's
theory. Light would also be measurable in
photons. A light particle with a base mass of
zero would, moving around, be a package of
energy, that does have mass. But how could
such a package of energy having the speed of
light, to which according the theory the
particle, heavy of kinetic energy, would
endlessly increase in weight, there not be a
gravitational effect in the direction of a
black hole like the center of the galaxy?
(this by the way also belongs to the
implications of Düsseldorf). In order to
maintain Einstein can the particle of light
not be permitted to have mass, although it
has energy. We also learned from Einstein
that energy and mass add up with the speed of
light according the formula E = M x
C2, which then would implicate
that we'd have energy that can't be mass and
that thus the formula, again, would be wrong.
So
sang the dutch pop-group Doe Maar:
'e=mc2...before the bomb
drops', at the end of the
song with that
name.
And
that is what the lay thinks, and in Holland
even sings, about it.

And
they allowed Apollonius to ask
questions and he asked them of
what they thought the cosmos was
composed. But they
replied:
"Of
elements."
"Are
there then four" he
asked.
"Not
four," said Iarchas, "but
five."
"And
how can there be a fifth,"
said Apollonius,"alongside of
water and air and earth and
fire ?"
"There
is the ether", replied the
other,"which we must regard as
the stuff of which gods are
made, for just as all mortal
creatures inhale the air, so
do immortal and divine natures
inhale the ether."
Apollonius
again asked which was the first
of the elements, and Iarchas
answered:
"All
are simultaneous, for a living
creature is not born bit by
bit."
"Am
I," said Apollonius, "to
regard the universe as a
living creature?"
"Yes,"
said the other, "if you have a
sound knowledge of it, for it
engenders all living
things."

But
it can also be stated
philosophically.
In the vedic literatures we know from the
philosopher Sayana in the Rig-veda verse
1:50: 'Thus it is remebered: you [O
Sun] who traverse 2202 yojanas in
half a nimes'a'. With S.B.
3.11:
3-10
it then appears that with a yojana of
31 km the light speed of ± 300.000 km/s
is very closely described (see
Wikipedia).
But, o blessed truth, on closer examination
of the vedic reference in that same
Bhâgavatam of Vyâsa turns
the yojana in verse 5.25:
1
out to stand also for a measure of something
like a light year at the scale of the galaxy,
at the scale of the s'is'umâra,
the dolphin, as the Purâna calls
the Milky Way. In other words: the light
speed according a coordinated vedic vision is
variable, depending the frame of reference.
As for this frame were, for the philosopher
Aristotle
(384-322 B.C.), the two forms of time enough
to speak of the cosmos: the linear and the
cyclic movement of the universe. For that
sufficed in order to speak of a finite
universe, divided in two realms: that of the
unchangeable and unique celestial sphere of
the ether leading to the cyclic of creation,
which is perfect, and that of earthly matter
which is characterized by the linear, which
is imperfect, is finite. According
René Descartes, picking up on such a
division of space with the element of the
ether, is
there no such thing as empty space, a real
vacuum, but only a universe full of
interaction, and thus wouldn't there ever be
a constant speed of light measurable but
rather a speed limited by the medium through
which it moves. Consequently we see the three
hundred times faster light impulse sent
through a gas cloud.
After
Descartes did, in his respect for his
philosophical predecessor, in a blend of
science and speculative philosophy, the
physicist J.
C. Maxwell
in 1875 in the first edition of the
Encyclopedia Britannica initially describe
the problematic and mysterious medium of the
ether as follows: 'Whatever difficulties we
may have in forming a consistent idea of the
constitution of the æther, there can be
no doubt that the interplanetary and
interstellar spaces are not empty, but are
occupied by a material substance or body,
which is certainly the largest, and probably
the most uniform body of which we have any
knowledge.' That substance in, or from, space
is then that primal state of matter which
formed the stars and planets and which is
always there in the background as their
basis, as one complete whole of potential
space-time, as the potency of the ether, the
effect of a coherent forcefield the way it in
its operation was noticed by Aristotle
already in western philosophy: the ether as
the formative basis for all in existence. The
notion of a relativistic four-dimensional
space-time, the normal 'euclidian' space
linked to the dimension of time, was defended
by Einstein in the Brittanica edition
of 1922. But Einstein couldn't ascribe an
absolute value to the simultaneity of
occurrences, such an ethereal and absolute,
momentous drive, which by Carl Jung e.g. is
called synchronicity, he could not
acknowledge. We,
thus
seen do so,
because of the relativity of the medium, not
really know what we're exactly up to with the
speed of light. The results of the
measurements are diverging, that's a sure
thing.
Even Einstein himself who, in
facing the alleged constancy of light speed,
was credited for having called off the
existence of the ether, devised later on a
new theory departing from a different concept
of the ether (see also Ludwik
Kostro: Einstein and the
Ether).
He stated in 1920 about the ether: 'There can
be no space nor any part of space without
gravitational potentials" and next he
concluded with: "Recapitulating, we may say
that according to the general theory of
relativity space is endowed with physical
qualities; in this sense, therefore, there
exists an ether. According to the general
theory of relativity space without ether is
unthinkable; for in such space there not only
would be no propagation of light, but also no
possibility of existence for standards of
space and time (measuring-rods and clocks),
nor therefore any space-time intervals in the
physical sense. But this ether may not be
thought of as endowed with the quality
characteristic of ponderable media, as
consisting of parts which may be tracked
through time. The idea of motion may not be
applied to it.' (lecture, University of
Leyden). Thus general relativity implies an
ether, but Einstein disagreed with an
absolute concept of time with the ether, the
way we know it from the dutchman Hendrik A.
Lorentz (1853 - 1928), who before him had
said: 'One cannot deny to the bearer of these
properties [the ether] a certain
substantiality, and if so, then one may, in
all modesty, call true time the time measured
by clocks which are fixed in this medium, and
consider simultaneity as a primary concept'.
Actually is the ether just the empty space we
normally know as a limited gravitational
forcefield, like that of the sun ('curved
space'), the Milky Way (ethereal
space or the Force) or the special, not
limited and the, according Hubble's so-called
red-shift of the light spectrum, endlessly
expanding, intergalactic space (the
so-called
space-time,
or the original space or ether - without the
time-differentiation of the linear v.s. the
cyclic time - of undifferentiated matter just
after the Big Bang, in Sanskrit to the oldest
traditions called pradhâna).
Thus seen there are different types of
relativistic ether and space. The three main
forms of the ether differing by locality as
mentioned here are vedically known as the
three
forms of
Vishnu:
Kâranodakas'âyî Vishnu,
Garbhodakas'âyî Vishnu and
Kshirodakas'âyî Vishnu. With this
has our primary thesis that deriving from the
vedic concept of order would suffice then
been confirmed. Already before
Empedocles
(490-430 v.Chr.) said: 'by the aether, the
aether divine', was the truth of this element
as being essential
to the concept of the
soul
already acknowledged in the culture of
Sanskrit. But enough about this.
Considering
the community of physicists in denial of a
relativistic ether the way Einstein stated it
later, may be concluded that there is a lot
of natural physicist's theory in neglect of
Einstein, even using his name in the defense
of its denial. Einstein was evolving as it
should with being a good and self-critical
scientist, and thus can we accept him,
filognostically knowing the error as a
challenge for self-improvement. He, not
succeeding in formulating the 'theory of
everything' had to contend with internal
inconsistencies and so had we after him. So
is it also possible that the inability to
detect deviations in the speed of light can
be caused by the moving along of the earth on
the stream of energy of the ether. The
element of the ether would lead to energy
vortexes which, just as with something
floating down a river, do not result in a
relative motion between the ether and the
earth, and even so wouldn't there be any
effect on the measured speed of light. This
is a position defended
by people at the edge of
science
who are often portrayed as pseudoscientists:
Nikola
Tesla
(1856-1943),
Viktor
Schauberger
(1885-1958), Wilhelm
Reich
(1897-1959) and John
E.W. Keely
(1827-1898). The latter one wrote in 1893:
'There is no dividing of matter and force
into two distinct terms, as they both are
one. Force is liberated matter. Matter is
force in bondage'. These scientists tried to
demonstrate that ethereal energy, or orgone
energy as Reich demonstrated to Einstein,
even though invisible, is very real (see also
J.
Medeo).
With before our eyes the modern of quantum
physics also speaking in these terms of
indeterminate energy, we so may ask ourselves
what factually real science would be. There
is a paradigmatical struggle, but to say what
would be true, is for time to tell. Error can
be terror (E=M x (T)error2),
science and politics are, just like religion
and the state, only separated by principle,
not in reality. We are warned about error in
science and matters of the ego, especially in
mathematics deriving from possibly wrong
suppositions as the non-existence of the
ether or imaginary constants.
So
was there in the nineties a news item about
astronomers who thought to have discovered
planets around a star. They later on really
did, but at that time was the deviation in
the so-called parallax of their measurements
wholly attributable to the erroneously not
reckoning with the
equation of
time,
which is the consequence of the oblique axis
of the earth and the noncircular orbit of the
earth around the sun. Thus they made a fool
of themselves with a false alarm of
significant results.
The
idea basic to this doubt is that the
mathematical is a reductionistic way of
reasoning in which one is never certain of
one's subject since information was lost in
the reduction. The term A in an equation
isn't necessarily the same as an A elsewhere
in the equation or in another equation. That
also is relativity and lawfulness. With A
unequal to A, a good Apple is not equal to a
rotten Apple, finds the illusion of order as
suggested by mathematics its end, or, as
psychologists like B.
F. Skinner
(1904-1990) state it: one will have to accept
the complexity of the universe and admit that
not everything can be known or reduced to a
formula.
In
what respect Einstein specifically is correct
or not in the end, whether the doubt as
mentioned and the experimenting is justified
and correct or not, certain is that the time
as the controlling factor - linked to the
place in that what we call
space-time
- indeed, logically seen, must be relatively
dependent, like also the speed of light
depends on the medium through which it
travels. And that constitutes a second
argument against the politicized relativistic
justification maintained for time zones for
instance in which to the contrary the time is
separated from the place. In other words: to
use Einstein to reject the absolute of time,
next declare that time depends on the frame
of observation, or the place, and then again
with the same relativistic argument arrange
for time zones in which is broken with the
dependency to the place, is of course more
than anything else an exercise of fearful,
neurotic and compulsory behavior in running
from Father Time. Lorentz must have been
right with his, by us at this
site therefore respected, local, true time
clocks
directed at the ether and not Einstein with
his exception that resulted from the denial
of the ether. One may defend that time is
absolutely relative and that there is a law
of time stating that the time and all that
links to it, must be different always because
of the element of movement proper to it, but
to simply endlessly manipulate time as a
dependent variable must certainly be regarded
as being a form of denial concerning the,
with all one's matter, being subjected to the
time as an independent variable, that, apart
from being creative and maintaining is also
evidently destructive.
If
we do take
the
criticism serious, seems the einsteinian
fallacy to consist of confusing speed with
change. Speed is not an absolute value, not
as absolute as the sacred three of the basic
elements of physics are, viz space, time
and matter. The with space-time
manifesting matter, offers those three
elements which as the physical trinity of God
define each other and cannot be reduced to
something else. With the philosopher
D.
Hume
(1711-1776) in An
Enquiry Concerning Human
Understanding,
they are called extention, motion and
solidity, and with Vyâsadeva,
akas'a, prakriti and
kâla. They constitute each
other's condition of existence in creation,
one cannot think of one without the other.
Time is the life, the movement of
matter in space. Space is the distance
of time, the phenomenon of gravity, in
between material objects. Matter is
the electromagnetic effect of the influence
of time upon the potency of expanding space,
the time which from being linear by the law
of reaction became cyclic and thus in
opposition transformed the gravity, the
primal potency thus, into solid matter (be it
not entirely as evidenced by the inability to
find the so-called invisible 'dark matter',
which according S.B. 5.20:
38
covers three quarters of our creation). The
entire creation is a permutation of the
concepts of time, space and matter. Energy
e.g. is an electromagnetic phenomenon of
spaced-out matter, the matter which of being
purely hot energetic plasma in the beginning,
concentrated or condensed into gas and vapor,
next became fluid and after that solidified
into matter, to which light is then the least
dense, the fastest of matter in the
beginning. Vedically is it called 'the
glance' of the Lord (S.B. 2.1:
31),
and in the Bible is it in Genesis said that
there was light in the darkness. Space is the
gravitational phenomenon which sets the
limits either to matter in the form of stars
and planets in curved space - the ether we
cover with our radios, or to the Milky Way in
the ethereal space we can see with our naked
eye in the celestial sky, or the cosmic
time-ball of expanding galaxies as we may see
with a telescope as grouped together in the
primal realm of time space where one doesn't
really find actual matter yet but just the
energetic potency for it. And also time we
thus know in three, just like space and
matter: the linear movement of the primal
substance as we find it in the expansion of
the cosmos, the movement of the matter wich
opposed to that spins around mutually
attracted in a galaxy and the movement
through space-time of the 'timeless' but
living soul, figuring as the 'no-time' of
time consciousness, which constitutes the
negation of matter, and which, false in
identification, with the inauthentic forms an
ego. The space, the relative phenomenon of
gravitation, is the ether; the matter is the
electromagnetic manifestation and time is the
life of it all. That is the physical basis of
a factually perceivable complete whole for
all our arguments.

creatures into genera and
species, and divided them in
every way until he came to
their elements, which he

As
for Einstein's erroneous supposition is it,
as thus envisioned, the speed that changes,
like everything subject to time. That is the
law of time: the change is the absolute, not
that what changes.
The
change stays the change, even though it
changes, just like space or
ether
stays the space or ether, even though
situated elsewhere, and in the end matter
also turns out to be absolute, not in its
temporary form, but as an electromagnetic
phenomenon of energetic contraction without
which the first two carry no meaning, even
when it's as thin as light.
Something
apparently invariable and constant, like a
quasar for instance, constitutes an illusion:
it some time found its existence and will, by
the law of time, some time cease to exist,
and is thus not absolutely existing. Thus no,
Einstein therefore,
even though we accept his being committed to
the relativistic ether, cannot be the lead
for a responsible philosophical plea for a
certain order of
time.
We must build on the absolute of time, the
absolute of change existing as the eternal
life of all matter in space.
Reasoning
methodically consequent
says
the counter-argument here
to
the doubting of the absolute of time at this
point, that
declaring the time relative and dependent
still not excludes the absolute reality
thereof as an independent variable. Or, as
dualistically
Immanuel
Kant
(1724-1804)
would say: time for itself, unknown as it is
in its full glory - according also the french
philosopher Henri
Bergson (1859-1941)
- is factually not in need of your existence
to exist itself, while the time on itself the
way you live it as an experience of being -
discussed then again by the existentialist
Martin
Heidegger
(1889-1976)
-
essentially has no real grip on it, despite
of all politically and pragmatically inspired
manipulations. That time lived and controlled
implies only, as known from Hegel, the being
estranged when one has to abide without the
scientific of validity and reliability the
way it manifests itself in the modern
arbitrariness of standard time since the
French Revolution with its failure of
time-reform. As a conclusion is the time
thus, axiomatic, as already defended by the
oldest culture of India as an independent
variable, an absolute of change and
determinant of the ether, as a form of God,
our general thesis, and the doubt concerns
then the self-determined conditioning order
with it which is naturally relative and
possibly of a good or bad quality we can
discuss.
Summarizing
amounts the general thesis of filognosy then
to the time as an independent godhead, force
or order, that since the days of yore, the
way we know it from India, is present as a
for the creation, maintenance and
destruction, all-determining factor in our
lives. The antithesis of relativism concerns
the pragmatical need for a knowable,
existentially livable, controlled time we
have to consider as being relative. Facing
the two positions of the natural absolute of
time and the cultural relative maintained
thereto, do we thus arrive at the insight
that we are dealing with a paradigmatic
matter that compares to the difference
between geocentric and heliocentric thought.
First we thought that we according
Ptolemaeus
(87-150), with God and Jesus on earth, were
the center of the universe, and then we
thought, since the bravery of
Galileo
Galilei
(1564 -1642) who to the ideas of
Copernicus
(1473 - 1543) contested geocentric Rome, that
the sun was the center of the universe and
thus found our new era of scientific
enlightenment. With the progress of astronomy
next we discovered our place in the galaxy,
and now, being tired of the politically
divided and quarreling - but still
predominantly - heliocentric oriented
sciences with their compensatory relativism,
it seems that with us taking seriously the
differences of the light speed that in
inconclusive experimenting were found in the
absence of a conclusive paradigm, we,
together with the sun indeed do move through
a medium called the ether. May the Force be
with us; for we have now arrived at
galactocentric thinking, the new paradigm for
the 21th century, that defines us as being
moved by an all-powerful force that controls
as well the earth, the moon and the sun as
the rest of the stars, a force moving us in
the galactic whirl about the black hole in
the center, the mountain Meru of Vishnu and
Brahmâ, the eye of the universal storm
created by the holy and absolute Force, the
Force of the Absolute of Galactic Cakra
(cyclic) Time that in its operation is known
as the ether, the first effect in creation
(Brahma Sûtra Adh2.P3:
1-7).
The evolution of the ether is by sage
Vyâsa described as follows: 'From the
identification [of the ego] with the
darkness of matter was of the transformation
to that mode the [first element of
the] ether developed with its subtle form
and quality of sound which is indicative of
as well the seen as the seer.'
(S.B.
2.5: 25).
In
S.B.
11.15: 19 he
then states that the Lord must be considered
the personification of the ether and in
S.B.
3.5: 32
that the ether may be considered the symbolic
representation of the Supersoul, the local of
God who impersonally is known as the Time.
Relating to the concept of time he then
states (S.B. 3.26:
34):
'The activities and characteristics of the
element of the ether accommodate for the room
external and internal, being of all living
beings the field of activities of the vital
air, the senses and the mind.' According him
refers the ether thus to as well the
'timeless' self of the consciousness of time
as to the time-bound of the outside world. So
is there also considering the spiritual thus
a relative ether.
'For
a truly joyful and auspicious
human work to flourish, must
man have the capacity to climb
from the depths of his
attachment at home up to the
ether. Ether here stands for
the high flight of the high
heavens, the open real of the
spirit.'
Martin
Heidegger,
'Treatise
on human
thought'
|
With
this paradigmatic shift are we, so
methodically proceeding, thus faced with the
counterargument that leads to the conclusion
that says that the order of time now can be
discussed to its paradigmatic qualities and
effects. Like geocentric thinking proved to
be inferior to heliocentric thought, may now
heliocentric thinking the same way be
inferior to the paradigm of galactocentric
thought in unfolding the knowledge in this
and the next sections of our filognosy to the
order of time with the ether. For it is that
new paradigm that counts with a (circular)
movement of the stars, the earth and the sun
through the - and let's stress this again -
from the vedic culture thus already known
basic element of the ether (kha or
akas'a) that represents as well the
forcefield of the galaxy, the primal
space-time, as the local order; the
forcefield that possibly - but not
necessarily - results in the variations in
the light speed found in the different
experiments and about which Einstein around
1920 said that he in 1905 had passed a
somewhat too radical judgement. When with
that discussion and supported by scientific
experiment next the entire problem of modern
man is summed up and comprehended, have we
thus succeeded in our methodical purpose and
arrived at a new paradigm for the
twenty-first century, a paradigm that resets
the world-culture to its classical values and
cures (post-)modern, estranged man of his
bewildered state.
'Therefore
I thought in 1905 that in
physics one should not speak
of the ether at all. This
judgement was too radical
though as we shall see with
the next considerations about
the general theory of
relativity. It moreover
remains, as before, allowed to
assume a space-filling medium
if one can refer to
electromagnetic fields (and
thus also for sure matter) as
the condition
thereof.'

The Order of Time: structure of the
content
If
we want to discuss the qualities and effects
of the order of time methodically, must we,
as it was stated
in the
preface,
being syncretic out of loving the knowledge,
from the filognosy, pay attention to science,
as well as to spirituality and religion.
Syncretic thinking is the essence of the
concept of gnosis thus teaches us the
classical spirituality of Christianity. The
internet-encyclopedia (en.wikipedia.org)
states that gnosis, to the authority
of Gilles
Quispel
(1916) - an authoritative dutch researcher of
classical and christian gnosticism - as a
characteristic of religious movements, is
counted as the 'the third component of
western culture', next to reason and
belief. Next to greek philosophy and
Christianity would also the gnosis,
which we in a christian sense know since the
second century, have contributed considerably
to the culture of Western-Europe. 'Reason
rules the domain of truth and wisdom,
theology, rules the domain of piety and
obedience' says B.
de Spinoza
(1632 - 1677) in his Theological-political
treatise, to which he rejects the mutual
obligation of the two, but we do
filognostically, from our love of knowledge,
defend that reason and belief are mutually
obliged, knowingly in the gnosis in which the
dissection and the principle, or the analysis
and the spirituality, constitute the bridge
between science - which methodically uncovers
the truth and in wisdom detemines which fact
and paradigm would be of importance - and the
art of the person (the theology) of the
religion that strives for piety with the
political of the populace which
democratically enforces obedience. With us
linking the concept of gnosis to the
vedic culture will
we thus, without losing ourselves in this or
that gnostic tradition or finding ourselves
compromised by it heretically, unfold here a
world view in which all culture finds its
reconciliation. The gnostic person is
tyoically described as someone who seeks to
know God on an intimate basis, by the pursuit
of self-knowledge or nurturing of
self-awareness; the filognostic then is the
one of love for this from the point of view
of the vedic truth. The filognosy as
gnosis is contrary to the western
classical view of it not secret, even though,
on the vedic ground of the
so-called
paramparâ,
a personal transfer of the love for knowledge
is considered conducive and the advise, and
is it surely also a matter of great
importance to be in respect of a certain
confidentiality and discretion concerning the
science of the person. It is not polemic or
anticlerical, it is based on all kinds of
scientific facts and is of belief on the
basis of the vedic tenet that human
recollection and the ability to acquire and
process knowledge always falls short and that
therefore scriptural authority is needed.
Contrary to classical gnosis there is thus no
propensity for anarchy but positively a
certain degree of docility there concerning a
certain original person of spiritual
authority, viz. the philosopher of
philosophers Vyâsadeva
(±3200 B.C.), the Indian who in the West
sometimes is denounced as an anonymous
because his name would stand for a collection
of sages who each on their turn would have
assembled the vedic verses. Even though he
indeed incorporates the unification of the
entire field of philosophy and religion, is
the evidence for the denial of his name to
our opinion inconclusive though, just like
there is neither sufficient evidence of the
so-called arian invasion of India that would
position the source of vedic civilization
more outside of India and closer to us - on
the contrary. But concerning the vedic
culture it is a critical docility we work
with. That culture from the Far East not
adopting at it's face value, but still simply
and unequivocally with a certain lead being
absorbed, does take place then without the
neglect of us being Christians, Muslims or
other minded believers and thinkers. So it
can for the one person take it's effect very
traditionally hindustan-like, while for an
other it is more a nice and inspiring
philosophical exercise as it for even another
one entails an enrichment of his spiritual
and political life. It is envisioned that
none of our talents and forms
of association of living scientifically,
spiritually and multi-culturally believing is
lost in recognizing the vedic science as a
source of inspiration and root of human
civilization. The doctrinary effort of the
filognostic world view, as unfolded at this
site, concerns partly the opposing of all
possible kinds of falsification, or false
unification of the ego, whether it concerns
the falsification of class-consciousness,
political consciousness, religious
consciousness or the more scientific forms of
arrogance, narrow-mindedness and
estrangement. By the, with this postmodern
restart, of gnosticism therein having
envisioned a constructive spiritual
reconciliation of science and religion, is
there for each of the three holy subjects of
science, spirituality and religion mentioned
- which respectively deal with the facts, the
principles and the respect for the person - a
duality which thus at this site results in a
division of six sections. These six sections
correspond with the in India used
darshanas
of the six classical philosophical views
there are to counter the human propensity for
falsifying the I-awareness of the soul and
thus also of a certain order of time with the
ether. The nyâya of the logical
approach in India, was translated in the
methodical/structural philosophical
considerations of this section; the
vais'eshika of the more atheistic
indian mind of unification was translated in
the figures and terms of sober natural
science; the sânkhya of
analytical philosophy was translated into an
analytic section focussing on art; the
yoga of finding absorption was
translated into the spirituality of
developing a certain abstract ability; the
mimâmsâ of the culture of
rituals was translated into personal and
religious considerations and the
vedânta culture of the
commentaries was translated into the spirit
of political reform. These visions so have in
common 1) a continuing self, 2) a workload,
3) liberation in service, and 4) a culture of
reference. The identity and integrity of
filognosy is thus described in six aspects
about the way the
empiricist
D.
Hume
(1711-1776) divided knowledge his way (see
further the definition).
Thus
it may,
as
stated in the
preface,
be clear that this linear presentation, as
one would need for a book, carries in it's
wake a causal suggestion that one must
relativize: in reality does one thing not
follow as closely another thing, for reasons
of which the interface at the
index-page
of
the site knows a more intuitive setup. A book
and a site, reasoning from a beginning to an
end, thus constitutes, the way it is set up
here on the basis of a classical division -
and thus being valid, a perfect illusion of
causality; an illusion not in the sense of
being wrong, but an illusion in the sense of
being an exclusive line of reasoning. With
the elements given, there are more possible
lines of arguing. So reasoned
Auguste
Comte
(1798-1857), the father of positivism
precisely obverse to the above substantively
described filognosy that looks more like the
one of Søren
Kierkegaard
(1813-1855), which goes from the esthetic to
the ethical, to the religious. According
Comte one arrives from the theology of the
person, lawfully through the metaphysical
stage of principles and the abstract of
'nature', at the sober positive stage of the
factual reality that on itself knows no
origin or purpose anymore. But the law of
life and time has more causal directions thus
than the lines of Comte and Kierkegaard. As
we already indicated in the preface, does the
end, in the cyclic of knowledge, make for
another begin again namely and are also the
way back, reasoning from the end to the
beginning, the order found in an intuitive
arbitrariness, and the argument dissipating
from a nucleus as in a tree structure,
equally valid forms of progressing in causal
reasoning. It was the greek philosopher
Aristotle
(384-322
v.
Chr.) who concerning this in his
Physics discriminated four different
types of causality: to the substance,
like in 'the bronze precedes the bronze
statue', to the determining form as in
'the form of a horse is essential to all
horses and the cause of it that we name them
thus', to the doer like in 'the artist
constitutes the cause of his creation' and
the causality of the norm as in 'I
stroll for my health and that is the cause of
my strolling'. In vedic logic we find all
these four forms of causality back in the
form of the purusha as the
soul, the essence of the person of the
creation, who in creation precedes the ego as
the substance thereof, in the
avatâra, the god
who assumed the human form and thus
liberated, in kâla as the
doer moving, creating and conditioning
everything and in dharma, the
norm of the necessity of the justice of God
constituting the cause of the piety and the
pious person of knowledge. This way is also
filognostically not so easily said that
(normative) just the religion or the
dharma leads to the science of the
spiritual person, since the other way around
the purusha or the (original) person
of knowledge himself again is also the cause
of it according the illusion of the
(substantive) causality that we here adhere
to in a linear sense. So also is the
avatâra there time and again as
a tree of knowledge from which (formative),
like from the
index-page
of the site, all philosophy, spirituality and
religion with Him as the stem and kernel
sprouts, and is there also the impersonal of
the spirituality relating to the time factor
kâla that, as employed in the
isolated articles of this site, constitutes
the (constructive) cause of the intuitive way
of learning. A striking example of, more
symbolically in this case, reasoning
backwards in a literal sense to what for
others would be the beginning, is formed by
the renaissance painter, inventor and
scientist Leonardo
da Vinci
(1542-1519). He, as a principle combining the
esthetic and the intellectual in an inventive
way, habitually, just like some eastern
cultures, wrote and read his books, sentences
and words backwards, with which he on itself
didn't cover the double sense of the
ambiguity of the four causal lines of
reasoning of course. Another example one can
observe in movies which sometimes begin with
the denouement, with flash backs, and double
plots or are cut in a mix of their episodes
as if it concerned, like in the movie
Memento
of Christopher Nolan from 2000, someone with
a deficient short-term memory who doesn't
even know the order of time anymore.
Contents
of part I: the factual
The
first of the three basic dualities of
filognosy concerns the rational method versus
the empirical science, to cope with the facts
of life. One speaks of methodical science:
first one makes up one's mind and next one
engages in an empirically responsible
fashion. In this department is the agnostic
element stronger than the gnostic one. With
reason and the experiential data
do
we herein gradually arrive at the basic
attitude and structure facilitating a more to
the principles directed spiritual life and a
society more conscious of the person. The
agnostic basic attitude of being open and
neutral to, or else staying skeptic, as in
modernity is defended by the biologists
T.
H. Huxley
(1825 -1895),
Charles
Darwin
(1809-1882) and the philosopher
Bertrand
Russell
(1872-1970), can, in her servitude being just
as commendable as the other visions, more or
less be considered a precondition to arrive
at essential, filognostical, knowledge or
knowledge of the complete whole. It was also
Plato
(428-347 B.C.) who as one of the first greek
philosophers by mouth of
Socrates
(470-399 B.C.) in allegiance to this
principle of science in his discourse The
Defense of Socrates managed to state that
he was only sure not to know. It was that
honesty that delivered Socrates as an early
Christ of philosophy the cup of poison
because he, spoiling the young with it, thus
demonstrated that the power of rule, in spite
of their pretenses, actually also did not
know, and thus was less wise than he who did
know this.
Contents
of section 1a: the method.
The
method thus, firstly, consists of the charter
as is described on
the previous
page
in which we get acquainted with the doubt,
the division, the complexity and the
completeness as principles of systematic
proceeding.
Directly
thereafter did we, on the basis of our
general thesis that we can manage perfectly
departing from the vedic concept of order,
arrive at the division of this site, of which
these last paragraphs are a part and of which
the elements later on will be subjected to
the method. With the method we need to draw a
plan of action in order to investigate as
good as we can all possible aspects to our
problem - to have for us responsibly a
sustainable life with the ether. After having
clarified this must we, methodically seen,
also introduce the dialectical.
