With the initially not very eye-catching phrase (quote) “Though this is not an easy subject, the impact that the inferences have at various stages on the body, mind, propensities, mass, hormones, etc. must be studied”, Ba’ba’ opens up an altogether new chapter of knowledge humanity never saw before in such a clear and crystallized form. As we saw earlier, it is has no connection with Brahma Cakra. The implications are profound, but may only very partially be realized if understood in a psychological sense alone. It is the very basis of microvita cosmology, which is in fact nothing else but worked out form of it. In a more scientific style, what Ba’ba’ introduces here is nothing less than the pure wave physics of life. The perception of certain colours, for example, may affect our mood which we could say is a psychological effect. But the actual impact of the inferences on propensities etc. is an altogether more fundamental issue. It lies at the root of the very creation of life itself and that’s surely why Ba’ba’ used it to introduce an altogether new cosmology, based on life. Yet, the even more profound and challenging consequence is that we have here an altogether new approach of how individual consciousness is created. At this point, one specialty of this new approach should be highlighted to show the fundamental difference with Brahma Cakra, and also pave the wave for a real scientific understanding. Although Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) is always one and indivisible (Nityam shuddham, nirabhasam..), in order to still be able to say something intelligible about its imminent creation we have to introduce a philosophical “handle” of some sort or another. This discriminates it from a purely non-dualistic (advaita) philosophy which is per definition not a creation philosophy (for example, the “Balanced triangle” of the Shaevite Tantra school). Brahma Cakra is therefore called “advaitadvaitadvaita” which simply means, partially dualistic. The “dualism” of Brahma Cakra lies certainly not in its dual phases (i.e. of creation of matter and mind, resp.) but in the fact that it is intrinsically built upon the individual stance (see above explanation). This is also the fundamental reason why Brahma Cakra is not scientific in a truly physics sense – it has a highly subjective quality. In microvita cosmology such a “handle” is created in a completely different way, and one might in fact say that this is its very essence, as introduced through Ba’ba’ statement above. The complete system of microvita cosmology as given by Ba’ba is reproduced here:
Before embarking on further explorations and explanations, it is good to notice and agree that here we have to do with an apparently far more abstract approach than Brahma Cakra. The obvious and completely legitimate question is: “How does all this relate to my personal life and experience?”. One aspect is addressed in the chapter on biometrics, which is proposed as a professional application of Ba’ba’s new science. For now, we could say that with the subject of “the impact of the inferences on the propensities etc..”, Ba’ba’ introduced a scientifically shareable way for example of improving physical and psychological health. It seems not in the first place intended as a guide to personal practice like yoga asana’s or sadhana, neither as another spiritual philosophy. For example, an (indeliberate) practical application of microvita cosmology, in the field of health, which we all know is homeopathy. This is the way how Ba’ba’s new science can help humanity, whereas in the personal sphere it may also greatly help, already through sheer insight in bio-psychological processes and progress. Some theory of this will be discussed later, but first we will step by step evolve a somewhat deeper scientific understanding. We’re going into the heart of the matter. In Ba’ba’s new approach of cosmology, the sum total “subjective” stratum is divided in a cognitive and a creative aspect (it should be noted here that the terms “subjective” and “objective” are still somewhat philosophical, this will later be explained in more detail in the physics part). This in itself is not revolutionary, as it is generally realized that the Supreme Entity is the Creator of the Universe, as well as the One who knows all. The specialty, and breakthrough insight of microvita cosmology lies in Ba’ba’s precise analysis of how the subjective stratum relates to, and controls the objective, that is verily, the material Universe. This was never realized before, neither in philosophy, nor in science. This is the “handle” as discussed above, which allows us to realise the inner workings of creation of the otherwise immutable Universal Entity. Ba’ba’ explains this “subjective control” of the Universe as follows, referring to above table (quote): “(A) Subjective relates to and controls (B) objective and (B) subjective relates to and controls (A) objective”. This depth of this statement is not easily understood, and the rest of this article is almost exclusively dedicated to its practical meaning in all spheres of life. To get an idea what we are dealing with, quantum physics in its current state of affairs can be nicely illustrative. This will also help to understand how Ba’ba’s new cosmology can be evolved into actual science, at least in principle. Quantum physics, in short, describes how Nature works below the threshold of the normally perceived mechanical world. This is not precisely a matter of “smallness” (quantum scale) as such, it is about the discovery that on these small scales, all the properties of material particles can be described by so called probability functions (Schrödingers non-linear wave equation). In other words, it describes an effectively statistic relationship (in the form of a partial differential equation) of a set of physical properties. If this equation is “solved”, the rather abstract set of properties assumes the form of a real particle in the real world. Only, the irony is, quantum physicists have no idea what the mechanism of “solving the equation” really entails. Therefore, whereas quantum physics works beautifully in its own arena, and can be used e.g. for designing lasers, super conductors or computer chips, it cannot be related to the normal world we perceive. Therefore, quantum physicists became declared philosophers at the end of the day to explain their own findings. This resulted, among others, in the famous “Copenhagen Interpretation”, which states that the sheer act of “observing” solves the probability equation. Welcome to the world of 20th. Century physics! Whatever the interpretation, all agree that the “observer” plays a crucial role in the relation between the world of abstract quantum probabilities, and the normal world. It is not a too remote thought however, that this problem could in theory be solved, if quantum physics not only provided an equation for the particle, but one for the observer just as well! This we could call “observer physics”. Unfortunately, such theory does not exist today’s Standard Model of science. Now, with this example in mind, we look again at Ba’ba’s introductory statement about the impact of inferences (waves) on the propensities: is it possible that Ba’ba’s new science gives real world solutions where quantum physics only produces philosophical interpretations? What is needed a clear understanding of what is meant with “(A) Subjective relates to and controls (B) objective and (B) subjective relates to and controls (A) objective”. That is verily the way how inferences influence the propensities and most importantly, this way includes the “observer”. It is Ba’ba’s new line of thinking. In the following, microvita cosmology is explained in a bit more detail, but first in more or less bio-psychological terms. This is may be a lot easier than the physics explanation.
The original table is first shown as a diagram, using Ba’ba’s terms “Krta Purusa” for (B)
Subjective - supra mundane seed of actional principle, and “Jina Purusa” for (A)
Subjective - supra mundane knowing principle. The diagram is drawn such that
Nirvishesa resp. Savishesa are at each at one side: This model will be used throughout the rest of the article. In this diagram is easily seen that the new cosmological model is also a cycle, although a completely different one than Brahma Cakra. It could therefore be referred to as the “cycle of creation of microvita cosmology”. The diagram shows the two types of fundamental interactions as explained by Ba’ba’: - two “reduction phases”, from the “subjective” into the “objective” (in the diagram cross-linked) - two “control phases”, from the “objective” into the “subjective” These interactions will be explained now in rather bio-psychological terms, but are already anticipating a purely physics model. Firstly, in practical terms, the resp. reduction phases are easiest to explain. The reduction or apparent transmutation of “Jina Purusa” into (mental) propensities is nothing but the involvement of the individual mind in emotional expression. For this Ba’ba’ uses the term “propensitive propulsion”. The reduction or (apparent) transmutation of the “Krta Purusa” into “planes of inferences” is a truly cosmic aspect. It could be interpreted as the apparent transformation of universal creative force or vital energy in physical waves. Secondly, the “control” phases should per definition be understood as a subjective control, that is, control by attraction rather than by force. Therefore, the arrows are pointing upward, following the transmutative flow. The term “subjective control” means, there is a naturally emerging centre among equipoised (“agreeing”) propensities or waves, resp. If propensities are equipoised, a centre of vital energy is created. This is the Krta Purusa. This is how the vital aura of a living cell is created for example. But it is also how a group of people, moving in unity, create a subjective centre among them. It is verily a universal, and in fact spiritual principle, barely understood by science yet. As the Krta Purusa constitutes a vital centre, it is referred to as the Actional Principle. If waves (inferences) are equipoised, an awareness centre is created. This is “Jina Purusa”, the starting point of the unit mind. This is to some degree understood in science, and is known for example as pattern recognition in neurology or artificial intelligence. So we could say, the principle of Jina Purusa is to some extend understood, but not to the extend of how it creates self-awareness. Because of the function of memorizing and recognizing, Jina Purusa is referred to as the Knowing Principle.
This way, it follows that the “cycle of creation of microvita cosmology” forms an ideal dynamic model of for example an eco-system. As simple as it seems, this was never formulated so clearly by science. It is Ba’ba’s contribution of a new line of thought. Take for example a community of fox and rabbits. Evolution has balanced the propensities of both species. Only because of that, the ecosystem is vital. If the rabbits would wake up one day and think they like fox, they won’t survive, but also the fox won’t at the end. The whole eco-system is in jeopardy. Therefore, dynamic balance or synergy among propensities is the quintessence of ecological vitality. One could say that the term “ecosystem” here directly refers to the presence of Krta Purusa, the living spirit among entities. But as a result, the ecosystem is a dynamic and unpredictable place to live in.
Both fox and rabbits have to be sharply alert, focussed and ready for action, that is, they are to preserve their own existence by a proper sensory analysis of the dynamic environment. This is the awakened Jina Purusa, the unit awareness in all individuals. Evidently, this focussed awareness causes emotions, that is, propensitive propulsion in the form of aggression, fear, etc. which on their turn again form the vital juice for the living ecosystem. This makes the cycle round, in this example the vital and cognitive circulation of a biological ecosystem. We could thus define “Krta Purusa” as the synergic equipoise among propensities, and “Jina Purusa” as the analytic equipoise among inferences. Both are therefore considered subjective control faculties.
It is suggested here, that the very same cyclic principle applies to all life, on all scales, from atoms and molecules, dna, cells, to organs and organisms, local and planetary ecosystems, and finally to planets, stars and galaxies. All are in a way, a smaller or greater ecosystem. And if the cycle of microvita cosmology spans the entire Universe, the Jina Purusa is the Knowing Principle of the Cosmic Mind!
A special interest is of course, how this cyclic equipoise works out in the human biopsychology.
Here, a keen understanding of the interaction between the brain and the cakra’s is essential. The cakra’s are vital centres where various specific propensities may or may not be balanced, whereas the brain is engaged in recognizing and classifying inferences of many kinds. The cakra’s are the centres of vital engagement, whereas the brain cum senses form the centre of individuation. Further, in the natural cakra-brain interaction alone lies the explanation of the classification of sensory-motoric qualities (Fundamental Factors resp. tanmatra’s) as in classical Yogic sciences, that is, their apparent association with the cakra’s and thus the propensities. For example, the third cakra is associated with fear, but also with the legs, moving and dynamism. With this, we have returned to Ba’ba’s original statement about the impact of the inferences on the propensities (etc..): we have learned now, that this a balanced, cyclic phenomenon described by the cycle of microvita cosmology. It is the maintenance of this balance which causes the effect of “mind” and which is generally the cause of evolution. Without any reserve we can say that this constitutes the very “engine of reality”. The world “outside” this reality could, in a slightly philosophical style, be called “Abstract” (“Bhavastha”). Conclusively so far, Ba’ba’s new approach of Creation is demonstrated to be different from Brahma Cakra, very powerful, and no doubt opens an arena of knowledge never disclosed by philosophy or science before. So far all was explained in still congenial biopsychological terms. The story however unfolds further and gets even more amazing, when we realize that the entire world of classical physics lies naturally enclosed in the “reality engine” of microvita cosmology. For this purpose, the diagram will be shown to unleash the long range forces of Nature: gravity, electricity and magnetism.
