As per quantum realism, nothing can be truly objective as the very observer angle makes it highly subjective. This is also what religion-spiritualism tells us. Still, larger and better objectivizing of subjectivity is possible. The ‘leela’ is the preferred position in the overall probablism of ‘maya’.
Indeterminism in quantum mechanics can be interpreted as a form of occasionalism, which is called “quantum occasionalism”
It in turn implies the option for any probabilistic determinism and thus for causal determinism as a particular case to be extended equivalently to that form of occasionalism
The Quantum Mind: Panpsychism, Physics, and ConsciousnessJed Stamas
Panpsychism, or neutral monism, is the idea that there is only one kind of stuff: light/matter/energy/proto-consciousness. Quantum mechanics says that atoms and photons exist in a probability state if they are not being observed. Quantum physics supports panpsychism.

Scientists are predisposed to take the obviousness of the world for granted (rightfully so) while trying to explain and justify quantum mechanics. Many philosophers also take the obviousness of the world for granted (improperly so). But there are a few philosophers who have taken note that the very obviousness of the world is rather surprising. It’s surprising because that which is so obvious is at the same time so unobtrusive; it is so obvious it practically insists that we overlook it.

Physics and Indian Spiritual Tradition - Giulio Prisco.pdfGiulio Prisco
Transcript of my talk titled "Physics and the Indian Spiritual Tradition" at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture (RMIC), Kolkata, India, February 2018.
Clearly, there is a political crisis in hand in America and elsewhere. Its root cause is worldview polarization between religion and science; its disease is elitism; and its cure is the worldview integration of spirituality and science that the quantum worldview facilitates. Explore the intriguing connection between quantum physics and quantum politics in this thought-provoking article.

What is it like to be a bat?
Thomas Nagel
[From The Philosophical Review LXXXIII, 4 (October 1974):
435-50.]
Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable. Perhaps that is why current
discussions of the problem give it little attention or get it obviously wrong. The recent wave of
reductionist euphoria has produced several analyses of mental phenomena and mental concepts designed
to explain the possibility of some variety of materialism, psychophysical identification, or reduction.
1
But
the problems dealt with are those common to this type of reduction and other types, and what makes the
mind-body problem unique, and unlike the water-H2O problem or the Turing machine-IBM machine
problem or the lightning-electrical discharge problem or the gene-DNA problem or the oak
tree-hydrocarbon problem, is ignored.
Every reductionist has his favorite analogy from modern science. It is most unlikely that any of these
unrelated examples of successful reduction will shed light on the relation of mind to brain. But
philosophers share the general human weakness for explanations of what is incomprehensible in terms
suited for what is familiar and well understood, though entirely different. This has led to the acceptance of
implausible accounts of the mental largely because they would permit familiar kinds of reduction. I shall
try to explain why the usual examples do not help us to understand the relation between mind and
body—why, indeed, we have at present no conception of what an explanation of the physical nature of a
mental phenomenon would be. Without consciousness the mind-body problem would be much less
interesting. With consciousness it seems hopeless. The most important and characteristic feature of
conscious mental phenomena is very poorly understood. Most reductionist theories do not even try to
explain it. And careful examination will show that no currently available concept of reduction is
applicable to it. Perhaps a new theoretical form can be devised for the purpose, but such a solution, if it
exists, lies in the distant intellectual future.
Conscious experience is a widespread phenomenon. It occurs at many levels of animal life, though we
cannot be sure of its presence in the simpler organisms, and it is very difficult to say in general what
provides evidence of it. (Some extremists have been prepared to deny it even of mammals other than
man.) No doubt it occurs in countless forms totally unimaginable to us, on other planets in other solar
systems throughout the universe. But no matter how the form may vary, the fact that an organism has
conscious experience at all means, basically, that there is something it is like to be that organism. There
may be further implications about the form of the experience; there may even (though I doubt it) be
implications about the behavior of the ...
We live in a universe that can be seen and experienced from many different perspectives. We therefore need to look at the universe from many different angles. Everything and everyone is a form of the universe being expressed in a particular way. In other words, each one of us can say with absolute certainly "We are the Universe!" Since we are the universe, each one of us provides a valuable perspective that complements the contributions of everyone and everything else around us.Each of us is the universe being expressed in a particular location in a specific way. We're all part of the same moving and evolving cosmos, but the view of it is unique from each of our respective locations. This suggests that the universe is not only omnicentric, but that it is also multiperspectival – there are many different, and equally valid, viewpoints on this. Each one of us is a cosmic laboratory within which we can discover the secrets of the universe.

Antonin is a founder of the VII photo agency.

Antonin is a founder of the VII photo agency which is an international photo agency which is owned and controlled by only the members. It was launched at the Visa pour l'image Festival France in the town of Perpignan in September 2001. This was one of his own great achievements but eventually, he was suspended from the VII Photo Agency after sexual harassment allegations were made upon him despite he continued to deny those.
More on his personal life, he was born in 1947 in a town called Litomerice in Czechoslovakia and eventually pursued his studies in photography in Netherlands where he got his BFA in Photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
Antonin Kratochvil specializes mostly in documenting the world's hot topic or showing how a refugee life is by depicting those realities in his pictures. He would provide his own personal experience towards those events together with those affected in it in order to provide a true aspect of the reality we are all living in but decide to ignore it sometimes.
" He took pictures in the Mongolia's street children for the magazine published by the Museum of Natural History to a portrait session with David Bowie for Detour, from covering the war in Iraq for Fortune Magazine to shooting Deborah Harry for a national advertising campaign for the American Civil Liberties Union, Kratochvil's ability to see through and into his subjects and show immutable truth has made his pictures not facsimiles but uncensored visions." - From Antonin's website.
During his years of being a professional photographer, he had a widespread of publications examining various topics and interests as from the description above taken from Antonin's website. This sum up a lot of his jobs and only shows that he is versatile to a lot of topics of interests and also he is keen to try new ways to target his audience. We can see from one side that he is willing to raise awareness upon topics that we often ignore or forget in our busy society. However, he also merges into the world of celebrities and fame by depicting portraits of those icons of the industry while at the same time giving his art more value in terms of audience. This can be seen as a strategy for himself in order to raise awareness for his other art as people will still keep up with his work either through celebrities or through his pictures about real world issues.
Some of his pictures can be shown as below:

This is a portrait of David Bowie taken in New York in 1997 by Kratochvil.

Human reproduction planning is the practice of intentionally controlling the rate of growth of a human population. Historically, human population planning has been implemented with the goal of increasing the rate of human population growth. However, in the period from the 1950s to the 1980s, concerns about global population growth and its effects on poverty, environmental degradation and political stability led to efforts to reduce human population growth rates. More recently, some countries, such as China, Iran, and Spain, have begun efforts to increase their birth rates once again. While population planning can involve measures that improve people's lives by giving them greater control of their reproduction, a few programs, most notably the Chinese government's "one-child policy and two-child policy", have resorted to coercive measures.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion
Invite Audience: Open the floor for any questions or further discussion on the topic.

Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)

MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

11. ***THE CHAOS THEORY***
Plato’s theory of ideas, and Aristotle’s more empirical approach, are the
foundations of the Western intellectual tradition. Both wanted to achieve
an ideal understanding, categorization and explanation of the world we
inhabit and our position as humans within it. These intellectual giants
have influenced Jewish medieval thinking as much as Christianity and
Islam. If Philo of Alexandria was a Platonist, Maimonides, of course, was
an Aristotelian.
Fuzzy Logic
In our times we have at last realized that there is such a phenomenon as
fuzzy logic and fuzzy mathematics which are, to put it simply, more
approximate and less definite. In a similar vein, what is called “Chaos
Theory” offers a different way of looking at empirical data. One might not
need to choose one specific theory or solution or answer.
What is Chaos Theory?
Chaos is the science of surprises, of the nonlinear and the
unpredictable. It teaches us to expect the unexpected. While
most traditional science deals with supposedly predictable
phenomena like gravity, electricity, or chemical reactions,
Chaos Theory deals with nonlinear things that are effectively
12. impossible to predict or control, like turbulence, weather, the
stock market, our brain states, and so on.
These phenomena are often described by fractal mathematics,
which captures the infinite complexity of nature.
Many natural objects exhibit fractal properties, including landscapes,
clouds, trees, organs, rivers etc, and many of the systems in which we live
exhibit complex, chaotic behaviour.
Recognizing the chaotic, fractal nature of our world can give us new
insight, power, and wisdom.
For example, by understanding the complex, chaotic dynamics
of the atmosphere, a balloon pilot can “steer” a balloon to a
desired location. By understanding that our ecosystems, our
social systems, and our economic systems are interconnected,
we can hope to avoid actions which may end up being
detrimental to our long-term well-being.
Principles of Chaos
The Butterfly Effect:
This effect grants the power to cause a hurricane in China to a butterfly
flapping its wings in New Mexico. It may take a very long time, but the
connection is real. If the butterfly had not flapped its wings at just the
right point in space/time, the hurricane would not have happened. A
more rigorous way to express this is that small changes in the initial
conditions lead to drastic changes in the results.
Our lives are an ongoing demonstration of this principle. Who
knows what the long-term effects of teaching millions of kids
about chaos and fractals will be?
Unpredictability: Because we can never know all the initial conditions of
a complex system in sufficient (i.e. perfect) detail, we cannot hope to
predict the ultimate fate of a complex system. Even slight errors in
measuring the state of a system will be amplified dramatically, rendering
any prediction useless. Since it is impossible to measure the effects of all
the butterflies (etc) in the World, accurate long-range weather prediction
will always remain impossible.
13. Order / Disorder Chaos is not simply disorder. Chaos explores the
transitions between order and disorder, which often occur in surprising
ways.
Mixing: Turbulence ensures that two adjacent points in a complex system
will eventually end up in very different positions after some time has
elapsed.
Examples:
Two neighboring water molecules may end up in different
parts of the ocean or even in different oceans. A group of
helium balloons that launch together will eventually land in
drastically different places. Mixing is thorough because
turbulence occurs at all scales. It is also nonlinear: fluids
cannot be unmixed.
Feedback: Systems often become chaotic when there is feedback present.
A good example is the behaviour of the stock market. As the value of a
stock rises or falls, people are inclined to buy or sell that stock. This in
turn further affects the price of the stock, causing it to rise or fall
chaotically.
FRACTALS:
A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely
complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales.
They are created by repeating a simple process over and over
in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are
images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos.
Geometrically, they exist in between our familiar dimensions.
Fractal patterns are extremely familiar, since nature is full of
fractals. For instance: trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains,
clouds, seashells, hurricanes, etc.
The word spirituality has many understandings and meanings for people.
A kabbalistic understanding of spirituality draws our attention to the
idea of activating the ‘creator nature’ that exists within each human being
to overcome our ego and achieve our potential. By elevating our
consciousness and emulating the characteristics of the Creator we can
avoid chaos and live lives of lasting fulfillment.
14. For the reader, the title of this story will certainly seem
confusing.
What connection does spirituality have with chaos? Does this
relationship indicate that if an individual is spiritual, then he
or she can assume their lives will be free of the pain and
suffering that accompany chaos?.
Unfortunately, the reality of existence does not bear out this
supposition. Chaos appears to strike indiscriminately, without
regard to people's spiritual status.
So what I would like to address is the concept of spirituality itself. To
some, one on a spiritual path is seeking out the meaning of life or
exploring ways to become a better person. To others, pursuing the
spiritual road entails investigating the metaphysical,
non-corporeal realm of existence.
Taken all together, spirituality refers to and is bound up with the world of
metaphysics. The word itself, “spirit," is a concept used in so many ways
that to limit the connotation would be meaningless.
The following examples indicate the difficulty in determining what
“spirit" or "spirituality" means: "He's in good spirits," usually means
"He's optimistic and feels good." "The spirit of St. Louis" was meant to
raise the sense of adventure in all of us. And religion as spirituality
conveys the idea that spirituality can lead one to become a better person.
These are just a few examples. They have one thing in common - the idea
of "spirit" does not refer to the material. Compare it to being asked to
define wisdom. The response is that a wise person has wisdom, but just
what wisdom means is not clearly explained.
15. SEARCH OUT THE SEED LEVEL
While we all use this commonly accepted term, “spirituality,"
its application does not exclusively define its meaning. Just
perusing Webster's dictionary brings home how general we are
in our understanding of spirituality.
To take this dilemma to the extreme, we also come across the
term "spirits of salt," the commercial name for hydrochloric
acid, and "spirits of wine," denoting an alcoholic derivative. So
where does all this lead? It leads to the need to search out the
seed level of things around us and not be caught up in the maze
of its branches.
Once we have established a true understanding of matters at their source,
we can begin to distinguish the trees from the forests. This has always
been the cardinal rule that we learn in Kabbalah: Without a proper
comprehension of where things emerge from, our hopes and problem
solving become as distant from us as the sun is from the earth.
Pruning the branches cannot resolve the problem at its root. In
my humble opinion, this has been the greatest contribution
that Kabbalah provides for mankind in our desire to remove
chaos from our midst.
Having been programmed since childhood to deal with the
readily observable symptoms of society's ills, no sooner do we resolve
one aspect of the problem of chaos than we are faced with a replacement.
This never-ending process does not seem to change.
This may be for one of two reasons. First and foremost are the problems
that present themselves with the least resistance.
We hope and believe that by chipping away at one problem after another,
we will finally achieve a life free from chaos. This, as yet, has not taken
place.
The second problem - and by far the most dangerous and the one that lulls
us into our anesthetized state of sleep - is that in our examination of any
form of chaos, the appropriate place to start our investigation will and
should be only at its consciousness or immaterial level.
16. THE IMMATERIAL REALM
I can hear the readers remarking, "But how else are we to
analyze the chaos around us, if not on a rational level?".
Why am I considering a new and entirely different level of
chaotic observation, far beyond the familiar material
landscape? And then (I hear you) I go on to state that those
stuck on the physical, material realm are anesthetized and
lulled into a sleeping state.
Research on the material level, you - my readers - claim, is now vibrant
and productive, and much good has come from every scientific
endeavour. Why am I ignoring the advancements achieved in this most
fascinating century of ours? Or maybe I even sound negative when I say
that we all have been put to sleep and are being kept from perceiving the
total picture. The truth of this Kabbalistic matter is that I am not denying
or dismissing the achievements that mankind has been privileged to
benefit from during this past century.
What I am trying to emphasize, however, is that if we do not
place a greater degree of emphasis upon the non-corporeal,
immaterial realm, we shall constantly be subject to chaos in
our lives.
For example, during our lifetimes we certainly have gained some real
benefits, such as medical improvements. But we dare not forget that
nonetheless new, chaotic health problems appear. Breast cancer, for
instance, now affects more women than ever. While oncologists have been
working with a feverish momentum to arrest the spread of the plague, the
new statistics that have been released indicate that one out of every three
women will have breast cancer, a disease of true epidemic proportions.
17. Addressing this plague has resulted in some therapeutic
remedies, but no reduction in its incidence. On the contrary,
what we are witnessing in our day of enormous progress is an
increase in breast cancer, with little knowledge concerning its
prevention.
4,000 YEARS OF HISTORY
The reason is that we are failing to explore the immaterial, non-
observable realm of this illness.
Kabbalistic information, while as yet not scientifically authenticated,
addresses this realm. And while the information may seem so far
out as to be dismissed or rejected outright, the medical
establishment would do well to pay heed to material with a
4,000-year history.
Without any scientific background nor clinical substantiation to verify
any statements made by Kabbalah concerning the breast, one aspect that
emerges is that breastfeeding has an extremely beneficial effect upon the
breast. Rav Isaac Luria presents a long discourse on this matter.
The point that I am making is that scientists have for too long neglected
the relationship between birth, breastfeeding and the incidence of breast
cancer.
While science has found a connection between breastfeeding
and breast cancer, this relationship between the breast tumor
and breastfeeding is disregarded. This is precisely the point
that I am presenting in this article.
We simply cannot eradicate chaos from our lives so long as we
ignore and fail to address unseen, metaphysical causes. It is a
lot easier to treat the obvious than pursue a path that tracks
along the elusive realm of the immaterial.
18. However, were we to raise our consciousness to this
awareness, then we could and would empower the field of
science to recognize the need for addressing the realm of
action, that plane where causal activity takes place.
FIVE LEVELS OF CONCEALMENT
From a Kabbalistic perspective, the word "spirit" relates to the
spiritual or metaphysical level of Ruach, one of five levels in
which the Light force of God is embraced, enveloped, enclosed
and thus revealed.
Following the Kabbalistic doctrine that for the Light force to become
revealed it must undergo concealment, this process occurs at five levels of
concealment and revilements
known as Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Chaya and Yechidah.
These five levels of Light force become concealed within the five
metaphysical, immaterial vessels known as Sefirot, which are
known as Malchut, Zeir Anpin, Binah, Chochmah and Keter.
19. Nefesh, the lowest and smallest dimension of the revilement level of the
Light force, is unclothed in the Sefirah of Malchut and is therefore
referred to as crude spirit. I would prefer to exclude the word "spirit," for
I reserve this word and Light force for the level of Ruach. Nefesh has a
tinge of the immaterial Light force contained within its essence. The
dominance of the physical reality as we know it is very much prevalent at
the level of Nefesh - Malchut.
Ascending to the next level known as Ruach, however, the Light force
presence prevails. It should not come as any surprise as to why the
Cabbalists designated this level as Ruach, or "spirit." The Hebrew word
represents more than a mere vehicle for language and discussion
purposes; it reveals for us an internal consciousness and definition of a
particular energy. Thus the word Ruach in Hebrew provides an entrance
into what the word actually means, not merely an application of the word
that can be construed as meaning many things.
When we define the word "spirit," each and every usage of the word must
contain its original energy consciousness.
When a concept referring to the word "spirit" is considered, the
application of the word must imply its original definition.
Consequently, each use of the word “spirit" must of necessity
include the prevailing presence of the Light force of God.
20. THE PARADOX OF CHAOS
Let us now explore what the Kabbalists meant by Ruach, the level of the
Light force that indicates a domination of the Light force of God over the
existing channels and vessels utilized for the revelation of the Light force.
This may sound somewhat confusing to the newcomer, or readers not
thoroughly familiar with the relationship between vessel and Light. After
all, who or what can stand in the way of the Light force’s consciousness to
share and keep chaos at bay?
And yet we seem to grapple with this very paradox – How can chaos
become part of our landscape? There should not exist anything that could
stand in the way of the Lightforce’s desire to overwhelm the universe with
the Light in which any and all forms of darkness must disappear. Light
and darkness cannot co-exist. Chaos and the Light force do not go
together. So why does it appear that chaos appears to be the
boss, driving the world's inhabitants? The Light force does not
seem to be anywhere in sight.
How does the Cabbalist address this paradoxical feature of our universe?
The response, declares the Cabbalists, is inextricably bound up with the
Kabbalistic doctrines of "Bread of Shame" and "no coercion in
spirituality." We, the recipients of the beneficence of the Light force, felt
an awesome degree of shame in receiving constantly from the Creator.
We subsequently requested a withdrawal of the Creator and the Light
force and a cessation of the constant flow of Its beneficence. This
provided a gap and a space for darkness to settle in by virtue of
the Lightforce’s withdrawal. This condition brought on the
chaos that we currently experience.
And when we raise the question as to why the Creator does not step in
and support His creatures in their time of need, the answer given by the
Kabbalist is a resounding "no coercion in spirituality." In as much as we,
the created beings, did not have any desire to feel the pain of "Bread of
21. Shame," then the Creator, in His infinite desire to share endlessly, could
not extend His beneficence. This would incur coercion in spirituality.
So while there is absolutely no question as to the Creator's ability to
remove chaos from our midst by a simple infusion of the Lightforce, we
have now come to recognize several universal laws that govern our
universe, laws that even the Creator must comply with.
A DEFINITION OF SPIRITUALITY
What does seem to emerge from this Kabbalistic response is the definition
of the word "spirituality." The doctrine of "no coercion in spirituality"
implies that spirituality is a term bound up and linked to the Creator. This
then sheds the idea that spirituality is an energy force free from the
trappings of chaos and flaws, for spirituality is the solution and remedy
for all of mankind's ills and problems. Consequently, as a result of
our feeling of "Bread of Shame," we preferred to work it out
somehow, and not accept the gift of spirituality offered freely
by the Creator.
I believe the reader can now come away with a precise definition as to
what is meant by spirituality. Wherever and whatever matter is linked to
the notion of spirituality, the idea expressed is the presence of the
Lightforce of the Creator. When this occurs, chaos becomes a
non-influential factor. It is only when the Lightforce has been withdrawn
that an empty space has taken its place.
This might be compared to switching on and off an electric bulb. When the
Light is on, there is no space for darkness to set in. However, when the
light is off, an empty space is created and this gives darkness an
opportunity to replace the space previously occupied by the Lightforce. It
is as simple as all this, but then again, it is too simple to be true.
The Kabbalists have always possessed an upper elevated state of
consciousness that has been known as Ruach Hakodesh, Holy Spirit or
22. Divine Inspiration. What does this mean? The answer lies within the
word "spirit." When one possesses the spirit of the Lightforce, one's
consciousness and energy are infused with the flawless and awesome
power of the Creator. Can this individual be subject to darkness and
chaos? The answer is obvious. The universal law dictates that when the
Light or Lightforce of the Creator is present, darkness or chaos cannot
occupy the same place. Anytime the switch turns the light on, darkness is
forced to remove itself.
The Kabbalists always preoccupied themselves with communicating and
connecting with the Lightforce of the Creator and becoming one with the
Light. This is why the Kabbalist was considered a spiritual individual.
His life's endeavor was for communion with the
Infinite.
THE STRUGGLE WITH CHAOS
At this juncture, however, the consciousness of the Cabbalist departs from
other spiritual traditions. Whereas other traditions consider the essential
goal of spiritual teachings to be the improvement and betterment of our
consciousness and a heightened awareness, the Cabbalist recognizes that
the teachings of Kabbalah had something else in mind. The final verses of
the first section of Biblical Genesis say it all. The heart's inclination of
man is evil from youth or at the very start of man's journey through life.
And this, says the Cabbalist, is the underlying cause of
mankind's unceasing struggle with chaos, where for the most
part, chaos reigns supreme.
The teachings and traditions of Kabbalah tell another story. While it goes
without saying that these teachings can improve the relationship between
mankind and pave the way for an elevated state of consciousness and
heightened awareness, this is not their primary objective. The Kabbalist
has long recognized that in moments of testing and trial, when push
23. changes to shove, very few individuals, even kind and spiritually oriented
ones, will meet the test and overcome the temptation of self survival. It is
precisely for this reason that chaos continues to inflict its pain and
suffering over the affairs of humankind, whether one is considered good
or evil, spiritual or material.
The teachings, as the Kabbalist saw it, were to heighten the awareness of
mankind to an understanding that without an improvement in one's
character, there is absolutely no chance that one can avoid chaos. The
hour of retribution may not even come in a present lifetime. The student
of Kabbalah quickly recognizes the human frailties that beset mankind
and the effort required in overcoming the temptations that lead us to
believe that we can get away with it.
The Kabbalist understands that we must once again reassert the Creator
aspect within us. Just as we have come to the realization that the Master
of the Universe has no fear of chaos, and is not subject to the ups and
downs of life's experience, so too mankind, when the God-like feature
within us prevails, becomes free from the turmoil of chaos.
EMULATE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE CREATOR
The improvement that the Kabbalist sought in his daily life was to behave
in a manner that matches up to the behavior of the Creator Himself. The
first and foremost step is being proactive rather than reactive. Human
nature has always followed a pattern of reacting and responding to the
stimuli that influence our daily activities. Essentially our decision making
has more or less become dependent upon these various encroachments on
our individual lifestyles.
However, I can hear many a reader responding to this cardinal rule of
being and acting like the Creator: "Well, we are not God. If we were, then
our nature would react in the same matter as God Himself. However, we
are not, and therefore we cannot but help react in a way that is not the
same as the nature of God."
And here is precisely where the Cabbalists’ disagree, and wholeheartedly
endorse the idea that we are indeed like God. But if we are to assume that
the Cabbalist is correct, then how come we do not observe this God-like
feature within us and consequently take hold of the reins that lead the
direction in which our lives are shaped? To which, the Cabbalist
firmly responds that we simply do not believe it. Our
consciousness is barren from this way of thinking, despite the
24. Biblical description of man's creation which was "in the image
of God."
Spirituality, then, embraces this God-like feature included within
mankind. Spirit, or matters related to the subject of spirit are,
from a Kabbalistic perspective, closely connected to the
revelation of the God-like feature that is part and parcel of
humankind. Consequently, one may be a kind and good
individual and yet not be considered a spiritual person.
When one has reached a degree of spirituality, the implication of this level
of consciousness is that the individual has labored and made an effort to
act like the Creator. And there can be no greater demonstration of this
feature than when the person refuses to react to outside stimuli, but
rather considers this influence as an opportunity to display the God-like
feature and resist falling prey to the chaos that these stimuli generally
bring.
EMPOWER THE COSMOS
While the varied meanings of the concept of spirituality are all correct,
the essence has eluded those seeking the origin of this mysterious word.
However, with the widespread interest in Kabbalah has come the critical
mass of practitioners that now empower the cosmos to permit the
Lightforce to have an enormous impact upon the consciousness of
mankind. It is precisely this dissemination of Kabbalah in this century
that has empowered the cosmos to raise the consciousness and heighten
the awareness of the physicist to see the same physical landscape and
perceive the perspective of a new universe from another dimension.
To effect change in the search for a world without violence and chaos
requires a complete overhaul of the way we perceive things. It is our spirit
within us, our consciousness that determines the visible and observable
world that we experience.
25. If mankind's spirit is raised to a level of positivity, then our frame of
reference compares to the Lightforce of God, whose intrinsic nature is one
of sharing and positivity. And when the Lightforce has dominion and
reigns over the physical, material level, then the interference of physical
reality becomes neutral and we are able to raise our paradigm to the level
of spiritual control or spirituality.
Consequently, our options for the ultimate removal of chaos are severely
limited, if not restricted, to this one central idea:
Humankind must undergo a complete transformation from a
historical path of negativity and reactivity to one of positivity
and proactively. If we deny this chance of choosing spirituality,
the only alternative is the chaos that has plagued us over the
centuries.
In this period of the Aquarian Age, the cosmos is fully prepared to support
and assist an effort by mankind to achieve the degree of spirituality
necessary to make the change this universe so sorely needs.
This assurance comes from no less an authority than Rav Shimon Bar
Yochai in the Zohar when he declared: "In the days of the Age of
Aquarius, there will no longer be the necessity for one to request of his
neighbour, teach me wisdom, as it is written, 'One day they will no longer
teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying know
the Lord, for they shall all know me from the youngest to the oldest of
them.' "
From a Kabbalistic perspective, knowing is the connection. This prophetic
vision of the Zohar is, for me, the assurance that there is some hope for
mankind to achieve the ultimate contentment and the pursuit of
happiness.
The Zohar assures us that we shall "know the Lord," meaning we shall
become connected to the intrinsic character of the Lord, which is the
concept of spirituality.
Spirituality or chaos! In this day and age, the
future looks good. For the people of this
universe have Kabbalah.
