Re: The Origin of Life: Darwinism verses Intelligent Design

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Gurudeva, Nava Prabhu and devotees, please accept my respectful obeisances.

Quote by Nava:
�I believe a day will come that people will freely talk about such things (subtle body potentiality) (without being considered crackpot or attention seekers). And like a candle lit from one candle to another this human gift will pass from one to another. We only need to acknowledge it. In fact as evolution of consciousness develops on earth we have great potential for healing and love...and with the world crisis of abuse of natural resource (and each other) etc...the organism will awaken to save itself. This ability to self heal is built into both the micro and macro organism�

Your whole article is very interesting. I just picked the above quote to reflect a bit.

Seeing the subtle body is a natural side-effect of our spiritual development and the beauty is that we see on that level clearly the self-healing capacity. When you look closely at the subtle body you see an outer spiral and an inner spiral and a multitude of spirals in between. In my experience the more spirals you see the more complicated the character of that person. Healing starts when the outer and inner spirals are moving synchronically. Then, over time, all the other spirals fall into place and take up the same movement as the outer and inner spiral. There is something deeper though. The subtle body is the temple of the Lord. Naturally the Supersoul resides within our hearts but Who is the ultimate source of the Supersoul? That is Lord Gauranga Krishna. And Who facilitates the residence of Lord Gauranga Krishna? Lord Nityananda. So when we see through the body we see the subtle body and when we see through the subtle body we see the Supersoul and the Supersoul helps us to see even deeper: Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga in the heart of everyone. Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga in every atom! The eternal kirtan and the ecstatic dance of our Lordships are in and around us always. In this way the material world is nothing but transparent and we only see the spiritual world. This is the (subjective) science of the devotee which is inductive because it comes from direct experience, and it is deductive because it is confirmed in the scriptures. No science is more confirmed than when induction and deduction come together.

Knowing that the Source of all sources is in everything naturally everything is under the control of Lord Gauranga Krishna. So naturally everything �heals� although from the spiritual point of view nothing needs to be healed because everything is already perfect. Only when we separate from this perfect eternal world of Lord Gauranga Krishna we see a mirror image and everything seems upside down. When the scientists study an upside down world naturally their conclusions are up side down.

For a while there was a big hype around the ozone layer but now scientists admit that it is repairing itself. Global warming is another phenomenon. It is definitely happening but it is totally in the hands of Lord Gauranga Krishna to what scope it will develop. It is interesting to see how the gap in the ozone layer which still exists above the South Pole is preventing the effects of global warming there. Were, by the way, the ice-times cosmic accidents or was the Lord fully aware of it? The intelligence of the conditioned souls is but a limited edition compared to the super-intelligence of Lord Gauranga Krishna. Nothing happens without His knowledge and moreover He freely gives His super-intelligence to His intimate devotees and reveals how His ecstatic party goes on in the entire creation without fail, without interruption.

What I try to say is that there is no point to participate in the science of an upside down world if the �reality as it is� is abandoned as foundation for the mirror image. We are never able to formulate the reality of anything by exclusively analyzing its shadow. Although the shadow is connected to the object it is a separate entity and is in the most optimistic setting only able to acknowledge the presence of the object. Intelligent design in a nutshell is nothing more than the acknowledgement that there is logic in the shadow which concludes that the object that causes the shadow necessarily possesses intelligence too. For the devotee this kind of science is in the stage of playing with blocks in the sandbox. It�s cute to see scientists wondering about the cause of the shadow but it is far from the metaphysical conclusion of the scriptures and the direct experience of the devotees of the glorious existence of Lord Gauranga Krishna. What to say about His party with His devotees in His ever expanding ocean of eternal bliss?   

Your servant,

Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
