QUANTUM PHYSICS OR THE SCIENCE OF POSSIBILITIES. UNDERSTANDING THE UNIVERSAL CREATION. ‘The perpetual Kingdom of Radha and Krishna takes up 3/4 of the imperishable Spiritual Sky (above in the red lotus flower and unlimited expansions of Vishnu and Lakshmi in the surrounding yellow planets) is made up of personalities (Krishna’s marginal living entities) with eternal devotional bodies, where as the mahat-tattva (material universe) and its impersonal escape (only 1/4 of creation), is nothing other than the rebellious dreams, thoughts and desires of just a few of those eternal personalities. Such non-Krishna conscious dreams or rebellious thoughts of self importance are contained in outward ethereal or biological vessels (or in an impersonal inactive liberated state) that both belong to and are part and parcel of the mahat-tattva (the impermanent material universal creation), which is a dark existent impermanent cloud where the four-armed expansion of Krishna, the dreaming Maha-Vishnu and His wife Maya Devi resides and manages, as shown above
Always chant Hare Krishna and these seemingly inconceivable topics can easily be understood regardless if one is a fallen rascal who previously selfishly and insensitively exploited the material world around them due to the diseased conditioned of their biological vessel, caused by the individual embodied soul’s (life force or jiva-bhutah’s entrapment within ethereal and biological containments) accumulation and crushing build-up of an overwhelming avalanche of Karmic reactions! Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya (the most merciful combination of Radha and Krishna) have come to save such delinquent souls and finally direct them back home back to Godhead.
Once there was an old man and a young boy who were travelling with a donkey. The young man was leading the donkey and the old man was riding on the donkey. When they passed through a small village, some of the townspeople yelled abuse, "Look at this old man taking advantage of this poor young boy! What a rascal!" After they had passed through the village, the old man said, "We had better swap over, otherwise they will abuse us in the next village." So then they swapped with the old man leading and the young boy riding. But in the next village also they got criticized, "Look at this selfish boy, taking advantage of his grandfather. He should let the old man ride on the donkey." So then they both got off and led the donkey, but in the next village the people yelled out, "Look at these two stupid people! They have a donkey, but they are choosing to walk instead!" Then the old man concluded, "Actually, it doesn't matter what you do, people will always be critical. Pradyumna Swami
The Kingdom of God (Krishna) is an Eternal Personal Active Loving Devotional Place of unlimited pastimes that is forever lasting and never aging. The atma- (self)-jiva- (soul)-vigraha (unending form) transcendental body (the soul's real spiritual Krishna Conscious self and form) can never fall down to the material universe.
The natural eternal constitutional position of ones 'real bodily self' (atma-jiva-vigraha Krishna Conscious bodily form) is forever engaged in an infinite number of pastimes and relationships serving Krishna. Nitya-siddha, or our eternal constitutional marginal condition of servitude or loving selfless unconditional devotion to Krishna, is the ultimate, natural and original perpetually active Krishna Conscious committed devotional selfless state of our real bodily form or self.
Our atma-jiva-vigraha perpetual Krishna Conscious body represents what permanence, perpetual and eternity means – no beginning, no end and never decays or changes yet at the same time there are always unlimited transcendental changes and devotional adjustments going on within unlimited pastimes that are illimitable active in the present, beyond the concept of past and future, birth or death.
The Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha (the supreme imperishable Kingdom of God) feature of the Spiritual Sky exists in the majority of the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti (3/4 of the creation). It is a place where past and future does not exist because everything there is imperishable and exists always in the eternal presents beyond our material understanding of time and space.
Only within a dark cloud (1/4 of creation) that is also existing in Spiritual Sky (Known as the maha-tattva or material universe) does impermanence, past, present, future, birth, death, suffering, impermanence and forgetfulness exist and always moving in cycles, i.e., the cycle of birth and death, the cycle of Yugas or ages, the cycle of the climatic seasons etc. These qualities of decline and regeneration do not exist within the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha realm. Only Lila-rasa or the mellows of ones personal pastime with Krishna eternal exists there in diverse behavioural ways of outward manifestations (relationships) according to rasa (pastimes with Krishna and His devotees) that never needs regeneration because it never ages or fades.
The atma-jiva-vigraha devotee’s are sometimes referred to as marginal spiritual sparks and Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead however, both are distinct as individual Persons, atma-vigraha’s or Purushas meaning “Individual Persons" with bodily form in the sense of a conscious spirit. Both God (Krishna) and the individual spirits (atma-jiva-vigraha devotee’s) are purushas, but Krishna is the Adi (Original, exemplary) Purusha, Parama (Highest) Purusha, and the Purushottama (Best of the Purushas or atma-vigraha bodily personalities), and Krishna the Supreme Atma-Vigraha or Purushas.
The finite atma-jiva-vigraha devotee’s are always subservant to Krishna or His various expansions including Maha-Vishnu who is the provider and facilitator of the material manifestation or mahat-tattva. Krishna is their provider in all aspects of existence even when they ‘consciously’ (or transmitted consciousness that is called the jiva-bhutah or jiva-sakti) choose to leave Vaikuntha and enter the material universe or mahat-tattva where Maha-Vishnu provides the ethereal and biological vessels that facilitates the jiva-bhuta’s or jiva-sakti’s non-Krishna conscious desires. In the Vedas and Puranas all Persons in the Godhead are distinct individuals with perpetual bodily form that is the real identity of the ‘so-called’ spiritual spark, so for Vaishnavas, it is not difficult to understand the eternal personal existence of the finite jivatmas (atma-vigraha devotee’s) in relationship to the infinite Deity Paramatma (Lord Krishna).
Such Lila’s or pastimes although, can change in the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha feature of the Spiritual Universe in ways that can only be understood as one genuinely re-awakens their 'old' and original Krishna Conscious bodily identity from the confines of ethereal and biological vessels ensnared within the material universe (maha-tattva). And even then, after withdrawing from the dream of Maha-Vishnu (the Over-Lord and facilitator of the maha-tattva) and giving up the ethereal and biological containers at their root cause, which is the desire to enjoy separately from Krishna, can one again take up their original position in the Kingdom of God (Krishna).
Along these lines ones projected jiva-bhutah consciousness is eventually withdrawn or again re-established back as ones Krishna Conscious real self or atma-jiva-vigraha body as the dust of material desires are cleared from the mind and replaced with memories of ones real self serving Krishna. Even then, when re-established as ones real self, the ways of Krishna's devotional perpetual Kingdom will always be inconceivable and remain a mystery.
In other words, even though one has an original nitya-siddha-svarupa-atma-sat-cit-ananda-vigraha or atma-jiva body, still the entire creation will remain a forever expanding creation, not with living entities (atma-jiva-vigraha devotees) for they have always been and there was never a time when they did not exist. The forever-expanding creation is due to the forever expanding pastimes of Krishna and His expansions that will always eternally remain a mystery.
Srila Prabhupada states in his teachings of Lord Chaitanya referring to the living entity (jiva-bhutah consciousness) entrapment in the material manifestation (mahat-tattva): -
‘The living entity is eternally part and parcel of God, when he is liberated from the impermanent material manifestation; he revives his original, eternal, part-and-parcel bodily identity. The realization of aham brahmasmi ("I am not this material body") does not mean that the living entity loses his identity. At the present moment a person may consider himself to be matter, but in his liberated state he will understand that he is not matter but spirit soul, part of the infinite. To become Krishna conscious or spiritually conscious and to engage in the transcendental loving service of Krishna are signs of the liberated stage’.
Every living entity has an original nitya-siddha-svarupa-sat-cit-ananda-atma-vigraha body they can realize if they are Krishna Conscious, or can never realize when not Krishna Conscious. The meaning of these Sanskrit words is: -
Nitya-siddha - Everyone (all living entities or the marginal potency of Krishna) has a perpetual nitya-siddha higher self or Krishna conscious body that can never fall or leave Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha. The fall down (forgetting Krishna) state is not a bodily plunge, it is a conscious descend downwards to the lower self or unconscious dream setting where one’s ‘thoughts’ enters and creates the holographic dimension of the material delusional universe.
Nitya-siddha refers to ones original Krishna Conscious body or higher personified self personified that is always there in bodily form in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha (Gods Kingdom) even when ones dreaming jiva-bhutah consciousness, or lower self is projected into the material universe of dreams, or further transformed into the jiva-nikaya stage or non-dream state that happens after the embodied jiva-bhutah becomes frustrated with the impermanent nature of its material hallucinations, that, from the viewpoint of the Vaikuntha’s, are no more real than a mirage in a desert. However on this absolute level, all dreams, hallucinations, thoughts and mirages are real but temporary because the maha-tattva or material universe does temporarily exist in the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti.
Eventually the jiva-bhutah’s ethereal and biological containments that trap the transmitted life force or secondary consciousness in the material-interactive condition of existence in the maha-tattva, withdrawals from the confines of those bodily vessels and the dreams of Maha-Vishnu, withdrawing to the jiva-nikaya inactive non-ethereal, biological and material condition. This is just another change of consciousness, altering one illusion for another, an active sub-consciousness (material activities), to an inactive sub-consciousness (Impersonal Brahman or Brahmajyoti that exists outside the dreams of Maha-Vishnu but still within the confines of the maha-tattva.). They are both an illusion (real but temporary) and only exist in sub-conscious dreams transmitted from the Nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha body to the maha-tattva as either the jiva-bhutah or jiva-nikaya condition while totally unaware of the atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body. Due to the nature of eternal time and the permanence of the Spiritual universe or Personal Brahman or Brahmajyoti, past, present, future, space and time that can only exist within the mahat-tattva cloud within the Spiritual Sky, are amalgamated as an everlasting event with no beginning or no end. Everything in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha eternally happens in the present. This confirms that ones original atma-jiva-vigraha body is always in Goloka-Vrndavana, even if one is sub-consciously off somewhere else in some imaginary dream.
That dream world or non-Krishna conscious mahat-tattva is the material universe and comes under the phenomena of past, present, future, time, space, ethereal vessel, biological vessels, impermanence, forgetfulness, birth, disease, old age, death
Siddhasvarupa - One’s Krishna Conscious unique, original and servitor personal relationship with Krishna that is eternally in Goloka-Vrndavana even if one has turned their back on Krishna and experience existence through their lower self as the sub-conscious transmission of non-Krishna conscious desires or thoughts, where one imagines themselves as many different forms with many personalities, still their real transcendental state of Krishna Consciousness and relationships with Krishna, His internal plenary individual expansions and His devotee’s (other nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha’s) is always in Goloka-Vrndavana, regardless if ones dreaming consciousness has entered the abstract universe of shadows known as the material universe. It is therefore clear that ones original eternal relationship is always with Krishna, even while one is dreaming other things and has forgotten their atma-vigraha body from where the illusionary dreams are transmitted. One can only be re-awakened, after previously ‘choosing to deliberately leaving Goloka-Vrndavana’, when one is again Krishna Conscious. It is impossible to understand whom one really is in Krishna Lila (pastime) while still absorbed in the sub-conscious-jiva bhutah or jiva-nikaya projected hallucinations.
· Sat - Krishna Conscious eternity beyond time and space, past, present and future.
· Cit - Krishna Conscious Knowledge. · Ananda - Krishna Conscious bliss.
· Atma - (soul’s higher self, personality and individuality) – Krishna Conscious self, identity, and personality (also atma can mean jiva however, in this thesis, the jiva (soul’s lower self) is the sub-consciousness of the full conscious atma (the souls higher self) and is called the jiva-bhutah that is the transmitted dreaming consciousness that creates the material illusion. The non-Krishna Conscious jiva-bhutah-sub-consciousness only exists when one is not Krishna Conscious, just as darkness cannot exist when the light is on.
· Vigraha - Soul’s Krishna Conscious eternal form and is the atma’s individual eternal identity and personality
Ones inability to remember Krishna while trapped in the jiva-bhutah sub-consciousness is due to attachment to the lower self. This addiction to counterfeit bodies and identities are shaped by the jiva-bhutah-sub-conscious determination to satisfy their self-interest of being determined to enjoy like Krishna, replacing service to Krishna with service to the imaginary self. In this way, the shadow of the Krishna Conscious atma-jiva-vigraha body becomes that imagined self and is called the jiva-bhutah-sub-conscious non-Krishna conscious condition. This shadow of ones self is only interested in pursing self-centered sensual gratification (lower-self addicted to ethereal, biological and material life or non Krishna conscious dreams) that creates what we call the material universe where one can forget Krishna for almost an eternity if they want.
The Brahmajyoti or Brahman is held together by form and is the entire creation where Goloka-Vrndavana, the Vaikuntha’s (imperishable) as well as the mahat-tattva (perishable) exist. What anyone does within the maha-tattva, it is like acting out a role in a play
Generally nitya-siddha among Vaishnava's means one never falls to the conditioned living entity stage, known as the jiva-bhuta non-Krishna dreaming conscious condition, which is the sub-conscious lower self (nitya-baddha or eternally conditioned state) that is oblivious to their full Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body in Krishna's perpetual Kingdom.
The lower conscious self (jiva-bhutah) is always in the nitya-baddha condition of comatose consciousness that can only actively manifest within the perishable material universal dream. Therefore, more or less, their understanding is correct however, even though the nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha bodies never fall down from Krishna's Personal Kingdom, the introverted dreaming conscious state 'within' which is called the nitya-baddha-jiva-bhutah, can be generated as consciousness from ones real self or nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha bodily form. Even though ones original body can never fall down from Krishna’s perpetual Kingdom, it is possible, due to free will, one can enter a trance like insignificant (real but temporary) consciousness and forget that unique blissful nitya-buddha form and ‘consciously fall’ (not as ones uninterrupted bodily form) to the nitya-baddha eternally conditioned state. This is similar to forgetting the biological body while sleeping and dreaming. In simple terms, the atma-vigraha body, or higher conscious awareness in the form of ones real bodily form serving Krishna in the Kingdom of God, is eternally liberated (nitya-siddha) and can never fall down, where as the lower conscious self, manifested as a multiple dreaming bodily identities and forms within the material universe or maha-tattva, is eternally conditioned (nitya-baddha) and is always in that state.
Every living entities original individual bodily devotional form (marginal potency of the Lord) in Krishna's Abode is always eternally there because of the perpetual and imperishable nature of His Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky or Abode. This clearly means all of us have an eternal individual form and relationship that is always with Krishna in His everlasting Abode that is forever there and has always been there.
Even though from time to time, we maybe consciously unaware of this everlasting fact of creation due to our selfishness and egocentricity that create our independent dreaming secondary consciousness that is transferred to the material universe, or nitya-baddha forgetful condition of impermanent existence.
This is not difficult to understand if you chant the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, the recommended sacrifice for this age of Kali-yuga. The various Vedic texts tell us that the Kingdom of Krishna is an eternal active place of boundless pastimes where nothing perishes. Everything in Krishna’s Abode is always eternally there because of the perpetual and imperishable nature of His Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky or Abode.
As already mentioned and must be constantly emphasised, this means all of us have an eternal form and relationship that is always with Krishna in His everlasting Abode that is forever there and has always been there, even though from time to time, we are consciously unaware of this unending reality due to our forgetfulness and fantasies that create our mirage like insignificant secondary consciousness (real but temporary) that transmits ‘the thoughts one wants created’ to the material universe in the jiva-bhutah condition consciousness known as the nitya-baddha proviso of existence within the maha-tattva (material universe). In a straightforward way of trying to understand this, all of us dream when we sleep, similarly to the dreams we have in our biological body or vessel. The non-Krishna Conscious thoughts, convictions or ‘dreams’ manifest a separate dreaming version (that is real but temporary) of the self. Keep in mind on the absolute level, unlike the mundane biological level; ones thoughts or dreams are as real as their atma-jiva-vigraha body, with a major difference, such counterfeit bodily creations and their surroundings are temporary and therefore cannot exist within the same space that all their perpetual bodies exist in (namely Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha).
In this way such temporary creations or thoughts are expelled from Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha perpetual aspect of the Spiritual Sky by ones own selfish independent desires and transferred to a far distant place in the Spiritual Sky set aside for such temporary thoughts, creations or desires. This place of ‘the dreaming’ is called the maha-tattva.
A crude example of how one selfishly desires to be served like Krishna, instead of serving Him, causing one to be bewildered and thus consciously falling from their perpetual body into a secondary forgetful state of consciousness, is when one is awake in their biological body, or when one is dreaming in that body, it is still the same ‘self’ existing on two completely different levels of consciousness at the same time. One embodied in the biological body, the other as dreamed up fantasies that the body is dreaming that appear real while they are sleeping. In a comparable way, ones dreams or thoughts as the secondary jiva-bhutah consciousness create a separate reality within the maha-tattva (material universe) that is real but temporary. In this way the thoughts of ones lower self are unlike the illusionary unreal dreams one has while their biological body is sleeping, that are illusionary and not real. This is only an analogy and it does not mean the biological understanding of dreaming causes our existence in the material universe.
There is a difference, ones dreams within Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha are non different from reality or actions. However if one has non-Krishna Conscious thoughts, dreams or desires, they cannot experience those thoughts, desires or dreams in the perpetual Kingdom of Krishna. To experience such self-centered dreams and desires their consciousness is extended to the maha-tattva or material universe. In this way, ones secondary consciousness (jiva-bhutah) is transferred to within the confines and restrictions (being contained in ethereal and biological vessels) of maha-tattva when one is unaware of their real original identity and form (The atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body).
Another way of understanding the paradox of the eternal liberated state (nitya-siddha) and the eternally conditioned state (nitya-baddha) simultaneously existing at the same time, is within a large building the basement is always at the bottom and the penthouse suite is always at the top. When one is in the penthouse, that does not mean the basement does not exist, it is always there at the bottom of the building. In the same way, both the nitya-baddha and nitya-siddha condition exists eternally and at the same time, it just depends on which condition of consciousness one is in. The nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha condition is one's real Krishna conscious bodily form, while the nitya-baddha condition is illusion and the concoctions of non-Krishna conscious desires.
The Srimad-Bhagavatam also tell us that the Kingdom of Krishna is a timeless energetic abode of boundless pastimes where nothing ever perishes which confirms one has an eternal body that is always there. Everything in Krishna's Abode is always everlastingly there because of the uninterrupted and enduring nature of His Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky or domicile. As already explained, this means all of us (all marginal living entities) have an eternal shape, form, body and connection that is forever with Krishna in His everlasting Abode which is infinitely eternal even though from moment to moment, we may choose to consciously deny of this everlasting reality due to our desire to experience existence separate from Krishna.
Only then, after that choice is made, does forgetfulness enter the equation where ones fantasies of independent grandeur is created by our dreaming secondary consciousness that transmits one to the material universe (maha-tattva) or nitya-baddha forgetful condition of existence as the jiva-bhutah teleported conscious condition.
In a familiar way, when one is awake in their biological body, or when that body is asleep and one is dreaming, it is the same 'self' existing on two completely different levels of consciousness, one as the biological body, the other as dreamed up fantasies that appear real while they are dreaming. In a similar way, ones dreams or thoughts create a separate reality that is real but temporary (unlike the illusionary unreal dreams one has while their biological body is sleeping) and only exists within the maha-tattva cloud that is the creation of Maha-Vishnu. Ones consciousness is only transferred there when one is unaware (due to self centered desires) of their real original identity and form (The atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body). A rudimentary illustration of this is when one is alert in their biological body, or when that body is sound asleep and dreaming, it is the matching 'self' that is active on two completely diverse echelon of awareness, one as the biological body, the other as hallucination or flights of the imagination that emerge as authentic and real while one is identifying with their biological dreaming thoughts. In a comparable way as previously explained, ‘ones dreams or thoughts from the absolute level create a separate reality that is real but temporary’. Such thoughts therefore are not hallucinations because on this level they are real. Keep in mind that on the absolute level thoughts, dreams and actions are all equal however, thoughts or dreams that are not Krishna conscious cannot stay in the Vaikuntha realm and they are therefore transferred (not as ones perpetual nitya-siddha-svarupa-atma-vigraha-body) to the maha-tattva or material universe as transmitted consciousness or the non-Krishna conscious lower-self.
This separate reality or lower consciousness is an extension of one’s-self (atma-jiva-vigraha) and is real yet subject to forgetfulness and bewilderment due to the desire to be away from Krishna and no longer depend directly on Him through pure unalloyed unconditional loving devotional service. Ones consciousness then falls to the conditional state of consciousness called the jiva-bhutah non-Krishna conscious active state of awareness. In this state one still depends on Krishna via His Maha-Vishnu expansions however, they are mostly unaware of this fact and foolishly believe they directly and alone create their existence and destiny within the confines of the maha-tattva or material universe. This ‘individual lower self’ is transferred to the maha-tattva and exists as trapped consciousness within ethereal and biological bodies within the impermanent reality of the maha-tattva or ‘material universal dream that is under the jurisdiction of Krishna's Brother Balarama in His Maha-Vishnu form’. The material universes’ within the mahat-tattva are the dreams of the sleeping Maha-Vishnu.This jiva-bhutah state of consciousness can again further transform to the jiva-nikaya inactive condition of awareness, also within the theatre of Maha-Vishnu's material illusionary universe or apparition, which is a dark cloud of 'the dreaming' that is in one corner of Krishna's Personal Spiritual Creation or Brahmajyoti. This Brahmajyoti/Brahman is effulgence full of unlimited individual devotees as their real body serving on unlimited Spiritual Planets, called Vishnuloka’s that surrounds/emanates from the body of the Supreme Lord in His Personal Abode called Goloka-Vrndavana Planet.
Insert Painting of a Cowherd boy who turns his back on KRISHNA only for a moment. The inattentive thoughts of the cowherd boy devotee as his nitya-siddha eternally liberated body makes him not only forget Krishna, but also forget his cowherd boy perpetual nitya-siddha-atma-jiva-vigraha body he serves Krishna as. Like in a conscious trance or dream of amnesia, the non-Krishna desires force one to follow the directions of those thoughts as the jiva-bhutah consciousness and transforms into the dreaming illusion trapped in ethereal and biological bodies within material existence and experience repeated birth, disease, old age and death (the nitya-baddha eternally conditioned conscious state).
Even though similar to the dreams one has in their biological body, the dreams transmitted by ones real bodily self (atma-vigraha) are real because the mahat-tattva is a real and takes up a quarter of the Personal Creation, Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti. The difference between the Vaikuntha's and the mahat-tattva is the Vaikuntha's are imperishable while the mahat-tattva, except for Maha-Vishnu and His plenary expansions, are perishable and everything their goes through a cycle of creation and annihilation or decay and re-construction.
Also within the mahat-tattva, exists a phenomenon left over from the presents of the embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness when enthralled in transitory decomposing biological vessels. These fossilized remains, or the accumulation and build-up of matter (all matter devoid of life is the left over phenomenon from the presents of life) accumulates and expands as lifeless universes of death (fossilized matter) that the embodied jiva-bhutah attempts to mould into their home or abode. This ‘matter’ is therefore Krishna's inferior energies making up the impermanent suns, moons, solar systems, galaxies and universes within the maha-tattva. In contrast, within the Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha realm, everything is living, permanent and has eternal form, therefore Krishna's inferior energies (lifeless matter) does not and cannot exist there in Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha. This understanding of the 'dreaming' as real is a crucial realization because of the Mayavadi belief it is all illusion. The word sarva-gata ("life is everywhere") means the living entities, or rather the jiva-bhutah consciousness; take shelter after being contained in ethereal and biological, just about anywhere that can support life within the mahat-tattva however, as previously explained, there are barron planets where only lifeless matter exists. Modern science cannot understand what is barron and what isn’t. For example, on the Moon and the Sun exist heavenly realms that our biological body cannot see. In fact the biological body and its technological material extensions, like the Hubble Telescope or the Electron Microscope, cannot view the sub-space universe where ethereal vessels, that contain the jiva-bhutah consciousness, exist.
Ethereal bodies, also known as ghostly bodies, subtle bodies or Brahma-bhutahs, can be viewed by some embodied jiva-bhutah’s on the secular plateform contained in their biological vessel nonetheless, they can never prove what they personally sense through anything biological or such bodies gross material surroundings.
Philip Adams is a journalist in Australia and he has offered $1000,000 to prove the existence of Ghosts. For the reasons explained above, no-one will win that million dollars because nothing biological or the material dimension that biological container functions in can prove the existence of the sub-space world. Technocally the jiva-bhutah can exist anywhere however the vessel the transmitted consciouisness has been contained in within the mahat-tattva cannot survive everywhere, especially the biological vessel. Keep this in mind when reading the following quote from Bhagavad-gītā
TRANSLATION
This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting; present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.

All these qualifications of the atomic soul (referring to size) definitely prove that the individual soul is eternally the atomic particle of the spirit whole, and he remains as small as an atom with an eternal bodily form eternally, without change. The theory of monism is very difficult to apply in this case, because the individual soul is never expected to become one homogeneously. After liberation from material contamination or mahat-tattva, the atomic soul (jiva-nikaya transmitted consciousness) may prefer to remain as a spiritual spark in the effulgent rays of the Supreme Personality of Godhead on the outer edges of the mahat-tattva, but the intelligent souls or jiva-bhutah consciousness will re-enter back into the spiritual planets to again associate with the Personality of Godhead in their original bodily form. The word sarva-gata ("all-pervading") is significant because there is no doubt that living entities are all over God's creation. They live on the land, in the water, in the air, within the earth and even within fire. The belief that they are sterilized in fire is not acceptable, because it is clearly stated here that the soul cannot be burned by fire. Therefore, there is no doubt that there are living entities also in the sun planet with suitable bodies to live there. If the sun globe is uninhabited, then the word sarva-gata — "living everywhere" — becomes meaningless.
The Vaishnava’s say the mahat-tattva or material universe (the dreams of Maha-Vishnu) is real but temporary and that's why the material universe is referred to as an illusion. It appears for a time then disappears. In other words, in a million years from now Melbourne or Sydney will seem as if it never existed. The same principle applies to the biological vessels our consciousness possesses. Such a fading of reality does not exist in the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha realm. This is the difference between ones dreams in their biological body and the overview dreaming of the transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness that has entered the maha-tattva and possessed ethereal and biological vessels. The problem is, due to the power of Maya Devi's sakti, they both seem as real as each other.
The other three quarters of the Spiritual Sky, unlike the maha-tattva, never decays and is a perpetual real place of unlimited relationships with the two-armed form of Krishna on His central Goloka-Vrndavana planet, or the four-armed Lord Vishnu on the surrounding Vishnuloka Planets (also there are more names of Vishnu or God than there are grains of sand on all the beaches on all the planets within all the universe's that exist within the Mahat-tattva).
The Impersonalist yogis, jnani's or Impersonalist philosophers are known as Mayavadi's, they see the universe as unreal and a dreaming illusion. Their understanding is incorrect. The Vaishnava's see the material dream in a completely different way than the Mayavadi's, who offensively believes Krishna is also part of their illusionary dream.
The Impersonalists and Mayavadi’s cannot understand there are two different forms of reality, ones real (the Vaikuntha’s that they cannot perceive because they have no love or devotion to Krishna) while the other is also real (the mahat-tattva or material universe), but temporary. The bona fide eternal dominion of Krishna's Personal creation is the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti where Krishna's marginal nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha devotees serve in Goloka-Vrndavana and the Vaikuntha planets and not within the maha-tattva as some ‘Hindu’ sects believe. Why worship the form of Maha-Vishnu whose duty it is to directing the fallen souls (transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness) to the labyrinth or ethereal and biological bodies (path ways) so they can express their freedom to exist in a non-Krishna conscious condition? Why not just worship Krishna the creator of Maha-Vishnu?
Also within the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti exists a dark cloud known as the maha-tattva (material universes), this place is real but subject to decay and is therefore transitory. In this book the word 'dream' is used to describe the secondary fallen non-Krishna conscious condition of the atma-jiva-vigraha when transmitted as consciousness (jiva-bhutah) to the mahat-tattva.Even on the impermanent heavenly planets within the maha-tattva, ones thoughts and dreams are as real as ones actions however, on our middle earthly planet, it is not like that due to the gross biological containment, which is a further layer of energy, generated by the jiva-bhutah consciousness within the maha-tattva, that covers the ethereal (subtle body) vessel and suppresses ones ability to manifest thoughts or dreams as actions.
The subtle body is the original incasement of the jiva-bhutah 'dreaming' consciousness when first entering the maha-tattva or material universe. This ethereal body only subsists within the heavenly and lower planetary systems (Explained in more detail on page 342) within the mahat-tattva. Both bodies are considered shekels covering the jiva-bhutah consciousness, which is originally transmitted from ones innovative position and individual body within Krishna Lila (on the perpetual Spiritual planets). In this way of thinking, the material universe is the invented figment of the non-Krishna Conscious self that is transmitted as thoughts of selfish dreams to the mahat-tattva (inferior energies or the place where lifeless matter exists) when one's consciousness is no longer Krishna Conscious, or aware of their own Krishna Conscious body.Although only similar to one's dreaming creations while the biological body is sleeping, the jiva-bhutah phantasm becomes their new self, transmitted as a dreaming hallucination to that dark cloud in the Spiritual sky that is under the jurisdiction of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu. This place within one corner of the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti is for those who deny their original Krishna Conscious bodily self and live within their own dream creations. In this eternally condition state (nitya-baddha), one is unable to distinguish reality from illusion due to being unable to remember their real perpetual bodily origins in the dynamic blissful active Krishna Conscious service in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Kingdom.
This is how forgetfulness of Krishna transports one consciously (not one's perpetual body) into the impermanent 'dream' universe managed not directly by Krishna, but by Maha-Vishnu who is an expansion of Balarama, the Brother of Krishna (the first plenary expansion of Krishna). In this way Maha-Vishnu's dreams within the maha-tattva are simultaneously the ‘imaginings or non-Krishna conscious thoughts or dreams’ that originate from ones perpetual atma-jiva-vigraha body. These non-Krishna conscious dreams or thoughts manifest as their lower conscious self while forgetful of Krishna and their unending nitya-siddha-svarupa-atma-jiva-sat-cit-ananda-vigraha body (the real self). It is important to understand the fact that ones original body or self never leaves Krishna's ceaseless Abode, the only way to enter the maha-tattva, where Maha-Vishnu is dreaming-up the material manifestation, is through ones own non-Krishna conscious dreams or thoughts. Such thoughts project one as their lower non-Krishna conscious self-known as the jiva-bhutah and possibly later as the impersonal jiva-nikaya consciousness as already explained.
Nothing just happens by chance in our material impermanent universe (maha-tattva); everything is constructed and built for the expressions of transmitted consciousness and is already in place for the visiting jiva-bhutah. The maha-tattva or material universe already has a blue print directory that will meet the requirements of anything the jiva-bhutah's can imagine, dream-up or think of. If they can imagine a certain situation, then it is possible. It may take a long time to achieve that desires, but it is possible – anything is possible within the maha-tattva. That is also why Krishna also expands himself as Lord Shiva. It is also why there are billions upon billions of material universes within the mahat-tattva. It therefore seems it is due to the 'out of control imagination’ of the jiva-bhutah's (only a minority dare come to the material universes) that cause the material universe to be extremely variegated and vast however, everything is already known by Maha-Vishnu. He has already created every path they could ever imagine. Maha-Vishnu has also created the heavenly planets, middle planets and hellish planets in the mahat-tattva via His different expansions and jiva-bhutah representatives known as demigods. Collectively they provide the facilities in the mahat-tattva for the visiting jiva-bhutah or jiva-sakti consciousness that is transmitted to the ‘these dream temporary realities’ of Maha-Vishnu as already explained.
On the heavenly planets the embodied jiva-bhutah’s or souls are convinced they are in a spiritual atmosphere or reality because of intense pleasure that seems to go on forever. On this elevated realm ones dreams and thoughts are the same as reality. In other words thinking is on the same level as actions. This trait they brought with them from outside the mahat-tattva in the greater Vaikuntha aspect of the Spiritual Sky. When one ‘dreams’ on this platform in the heavenly planets or in the Vaikuntha’s in ones perpetual bodily form, one should not think they are on the same level as the dreams one has in a biological vessel because they are not the same as explained above. Due to forgetfulness and the intoxication of self centered heavenly pleasures, performed in a clever display of artificial selflessness, the embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness (contained in an ethereal vessel provided by Maha-Vishnu) on the heavenly planets have set themselves up at the center of everything as a King, demigod, sadhu, swami, husband, society leader, president etc, instead of Krishna. There is a fine line between real selfless dedication to ones Spiritual Master and Krishna and deceitful selflessness that is designed to win followers adoration, opulence, respect and worship. This is why one has to be a qualified aspiring devotee in order to choose carefully a correct Guru or Sannyasi in ISKCON or outside of ISKCON in the present Vaishnava communities of the 21st century so not to be cheated. In the 1980’s many where cheated because they were not qualified disciples. The intoxicating effect of the heavenly planets makes one believe they are their forever, even though one can remain there for hundreds of thousands of years, the embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness cannot stay there and eventually one falls down from there to lower heavenly realm or to the earthly secular realm where the ethereal container is further covered by a biological vessel. The embodied jiva-bhutah, due to the perpetual bodily source of its transmission outside the mahat-tattva, begin their existence attempting to live in the present however, unlike the Vaikuntha realm of the Spiritual Sky, that is perpetually in the present without time, past and future,
The transmitted embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness that enters that dark cloud (mahat-tattva) within the Spiritual Sky cannot exist on that perpetual level outside the mahat-tattva due to ones non-Krishna conscious desires. Everything within the dreams of Maha-Vishnu inside the mahat-tattva is under the hex of impermanence, time, past, present, future and karma. The rest of the Spiritual Sky, Vaikuntha’s or Brahmajyoti that surround Krishna Supreme and central planet of Goloka-Vrndavana, is not effected with past and future due to their permanent nature. The embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness becomes so conditioned by its independent existence within the confines of the mahat-tattva that as soon as the already embodied jiva-bhutah falls to secular world of biological vessels, the conditioned soul or jiva-bhutah by now is completely conditioned to believe they are the bodily containers they are confined to. In this way one can live their existence without any concern or belief in God.
All bodily vessels and their surrounding realities are provided by maha-Vishnu according to the desire, dreams, thoughts, wishes, needs and requirements of the transmitted jiva-bhutah or jiva-sakti consciousness. The jiva-bhutah’s ethereal and biological body is provided by Maha-Vishnu to forget Krishna or God if they desire however, there are also many demigod, Vaishnava and aspiring devotee ethereal and biological vessels also within the dreams of Maha-Vishnu within the mahat-tattva.Unfortunately most ethereal and biological vessels are provided by Maha-Vishnu to forget Krishna or God if that is what they want.
Why would Maha-Vishnu sanction this?
This means all the ‘biological human bodily vessels’ of atheist or agnostic scientists, politicians etc are created by Maha-Vishnu due to facilitate their desires, requirements and karma. The embodied jiva-bhutah’s who choose live their ‘dreams’ in the 21st century and not believe in a God but believe in technology is also sanctioned by Maha-Vishnu. What ever their desire then Maha-Vishnu will facilitate it as long as they deserve it through the results of karma. In fact, if one wants to forget Krishna for an almost eternity, then He will facilitated that as well!
Why would Maha-Vishnu allow that?
Maha-Vishnu provides ‘everything’ for the embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness after entering His dreams within the mahat-tattva. Keep in mind the jiva-bhutah consciousness has been transmitted from outside the mahat-tattva from the origins of that transmission which is their perpetual atma-jiva-vigraha body. Once embodied within the mahat-tattva both good and bad is provided by Maha-Vishnu. Every ethereal and biological vessel from the greatest demons to the preeminent saints has been provided by Maha-Vishnu to meet the desires and karma of all those who choose to enter His domain. He provides all costumes or suites so one can live out their desires separate from Krishna or even to be a rare devotee of Krishna in His domain.
Why does Maha-Vishnu even facilitate the suffering bodies and hellish planets?
Ironically it is out of love Maha-Vishnu (representing ultimately Krishna) creates all the ethereal and biological vessels as well as their material surroundings in the heavenly, secular and hellish worlds. Krishna therefore provides what ever the rebellious souls (jiva-bhutah consciousness’s) desire out of love because he does not force them to love Him and does not force them, his marginal potency, to serve Him. This is why the mahat-tattva exists; Krishna does not ‘assimilate’ His marginal atma-vigraha devotees as automaton servants. In the perpetual Vaikuntha Spiritual planets and even in Goloka-Vrndavana, there is always choice. Krishna knows this and has therefore created an alternative universe in one corner of the Spiritual Sky (mahat-tattva managed by His brother’s (Balarama) expansion Maha-Vishnu) for those who choose not to stay with Krishna as their original bodily self. In that alternative universe of duality and impermanence, Balarama, through His Maha-Vishnu form, further creates the ethereal and biological vessels that always exist in the mahat-tattva always ready for those who choose to ‘do their own thing without Krishna’. In this way, whether they know it or not, the transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness is never alone because everything around them, including the body or vessel they are in, is provided by Maha-Vishnu.
Always existing means those vessels are there in blueprint waiting to be activated by a visiting jiva-bhutah consciousness after being transmitted from their perpetual bodily identity and body in either Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrndavana. All ethereal and biological bodies or vessels are simultaneously provided by Maha-Vishnu and at the same time activated by the desires, dreams and thoughts of the visiting jiva-bhutah consciousness. It is therefore a fact of the mahat-tattva manifestation that the bodily vessel one is presently in has been the vessel of many, many other jiva-bhutah’s in the restricted time and space of the mahat-tattva manifestation.
This is how great devotee’s can see past present and future that is often mention in the Vedas They see all the mahat-tattva’s past, present and future from outside of the mahat-tattva. Nothing is new because it is continuously happening, in fact every aspect of every movement of every step along the extensive twisting pathway of each ethereal and biological vessel or bodies development from birth to its death is always suspended in that moment in time like an existing maze or labyrinth within the mahat-tattva for the jiva-bhutah consciousness to pass through. This is not to be confused with ‘eternal reoccurrence’ because nothing is reoccurring since everything is already eternally known and put in place by Maha-Vishnu who already knows past, present and future.
The paradox here is it all exists at the same time and it all doesn’t exit at the same time – depending on where you are viewing the mahat-tattva.
From the outer surface of the mahat-tattva, outside the dreams of Maha-Vishnu, one is above the territory of time, impermanence, past, future and forgetfulness. Their full knowledge allows them to see the phenomenon of past, present and future in the mahat-tattva all in the present, the only reality outside the mahat-tattva.
In the alternative material universes (mahat-tattva)
The jiva-bhutah is simply chasing their desires, which are simultaneously the script or blue print already mapped out by Maha-Vishnu. He is the seer of past, present and future. In our material impermanent universe (mahat-tattva); everything (ethereal, biological and material) is constructed and built for the expressions of the individual transmitted consciousness that emanates from ones perpetual bodily form from the Vaikuntha’s. The maha-tattva is already assembled and already in place for the visiting jiva-bhutah from its very beginnings to its ends. It is possible to see past, present and future in the maha-tattva because from the view point of the Vaikuntha’s one can see, if Krishna invites them like He did with Arjuna, one can the entire duality of the maha-tattva or the universal form or the workings of Maha-Vishnu. The mahat-tattva or material universe already has a blue print directory that will meet the requirements of any non-Krishna conscious or even partly Krishna conscious desires the jiva-bhutah's can imagine, dream-up or think of. Every conceivable desire has an ethereal and biological vessel on hand for their purchase already in place. Nothing can exist without Krishna creating it, as the Bhagavad-gita says ‘not a blade of grass moves without His sanction’. All ethereal and biological vessels viewed from outside the mahat-tattva, or from the over-view picture from the Vaikuntha’s are seen like one sees a maze or a labyrinth made of hedges from a aeroplane in the sky, seeing every phase of the winding path of the labyrinth or maze. Maha-Vishnu has already put everything in place so the transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness can experience what ever it is they desire. If they can imagine or dream-up a certain situation, then it is possible. Remember, on the absolute level thoughts, dreams and actions are not different from each other.
That is why there are billions of material universes within the mahat-tattva.
It therefore seems it is due to the 'out of control imagination of some jiva-bhuta' (only a minority dare come to the material universes) that cause the material universe to be extremely variegated and vast however, everything is already known by Maha-Vishnu, He has already created everything in His dreams. The visiting jiva-bhutah’s simply are attracted to an already created ethereal and biological body that equals their desires and karma. How karma (ones own actions and their reactions) unfolds and traps the jiva-bhutah consciousness is practically impossible to map out however, everything is seen clearly from the Vaikuntha realm that is beyond the time and space of the mahat-tattva.
The jiva-bhuta is simply chasing their desires, which are simultaneously the script or blue print already mapped out by Maha-Vishnu. He is the seer of past, present and future.
Maha-Vishnu is an expansion of Lord Balarama. Maha-Vishnu's duty and obligation is to fulfil the desires of ones lower-self that only exists when one denies their Krishna Conscious atma-jiva-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha. Maha-Vishnu makes possible for the 'thoughts, imaginings, desires and dreams' of ones lower self to be fulfilled into a reality (real but fading) that is only possible within the maha-tattva. It is only there the rebellious souls (jiva-bhutah's) can carve out their own destiny within the material universe built by their thoughts and regulated by karma that are also simultaneously the dreams of Maha-Vishnu. In this way ones lower self (jiva-bhutah consciousness, life force or soul) seeks out happiness by trying many different ethereal or biological bodily garments on, only for the outer biological covering of the ethereal container to eventually decay and become part of the lifeless (Krishna's inferior energies) material universe. |
