In short, the acts by which the paradigm was born mediante me, or is born mediante any one giving birth onesto an original text like the Rg Veda, is not the written text

Those who disagreed kept silent and those who agreed, the majority, repeated my theory as participants mediante a ritual. The act of creation is silent. The text of the Rg Veda, however, as written down is only a theory of itself, an invitation sicuro a ritual. It is not even one text, or one language, but several and can only be expressed mediante plural linguistic wholes. Paradigms may be tested; they leave invariant epistemologies, but they can never be taught; they are sheer creation. Theories, as short hand of possible paradigms, on the other hand, we learn per the classroom.

Paradigm, Theory, Ritual

It is now twenty five years since Meditations Through the Rg Veda: Four-Dimensional Man was first published per the United States. My earlier sistema on the Rg Veda was published mediante 1971 durante Bangalore, India. Though the structures of the book were born during my twelve years of consecutive living sopra India, these structures did not become per paradigm until later. The structures I refer to are the word things and the order of their arrangement I was embodying as I lived there, per context at verso time. It was the way the sun rose or the dawn arrived, the slow-motion for the sun onesto attrezzi and the sudden night; the lines of movement, of people, animals, wind or rain; the sudden appearance of forms, by the river, per well, sopra the sky; the dissolution of familiar and unfamiliar names, in the rhythm of language, Gujarati, Sanskrit, even English or Spanish names; but above all, the new habit of listening with my eyes esatto the movements per the sky, the forest, the streets, the homes; for the world, and my body, were per spettacolo spdate string plucked at every turn, mediante every silence , con every sight, sound, smell, touch and movement.

Hidden geometries became human flesh, unnoticed. It was a silent world longing esatto become language, but can verso multiplicity of embodied languages be expressed as one? After a while it was life in the twilight; which was the shadow, which the real object? One has esatto gain distance, and none farthest than an American Ph. D. Nonetheless, dispite the distance, and dispite the academic language, a new paradigm was born, sopra the Bronx, of all places. The structures I embodied gave way sicuro an experienced, embodied geometry, sustaining all the structures, texts and statements I silently learned con India. Of course, when I set down this paradigm sopra writing, be it the Rg Veda or the Passeggiata, the actual written text was already per theory, per niente longer per paradigm, though perhaps the most accurate translation of the paradigm.

Integral Philosophy of the Rg Veda: Four Dimensional Man Meditations Through the Rg veda: Four Dimensional man was published in 1976

They are the easy ones to repeat. Those who follow the path of creation, of embodied-vision, follow the path of the gods. The others follow the path of the fathers, the path of per-creation, the path of ritual, as the Rg Veda indicates. One leads onesto immortality, the other sicuro rebirth. On which of these two paths stands the author of the text, rsi, commentator, priest or scholar? Besides, the Rg Veda is the sruti (revelation) tradition of India. As such, it is earlier than any other claim of revelation from any of the canonical texts, from the East, Middle East or West. The paradigm of the interpreter, if it coincides with that of the Rg Veda, should also give birth onesto those gods that gave humans sensation, inspiration and immortality, not just life to verso priesthood that changes ritual as the mood strikes, bent on the act of vantaggio-creation for, after all, the immortality of the ritual is more important than the immortality of the soul.
