Question

The Universe
Greetings Aupmanyav,

My work on www.ascensionq.20fr.com is religion and science based and is a
convincing argument for the existence of an Intelligent designer. My comparisons
of the cosmic web to the human neurons and other objects in the universe are all
related to the microcosm and the macrocosm.

The cosmic web and its relation to the human neurons is astounding. According to
the European Southern Observatory (ESO), "All recent computer-simulations of the
early universe have one prediction in common: the first large-scale structures
to form in the young universe are long filaments connected at their ends in
'nodes'. The models typically look like a three-dimensional spider's web, and
resemble the neural structure of a brain." Now, astronomers have actually
detected a "universal web" - vast filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been
"seen" in the current universe. Astronomers using NASA's X-ray satellite
observatory, Chandra, "viewed" the filaments stretching for millions of light
years through space, with one passing through our own galaxy. Astronomers say
that the filamentary structures are so hot that it would generally be invisible
to optical, infrared, and radio telescopes. These invisible filaments are
detected only because higher density ordinary matter tends to accumulate and
condense in them - generating radiation which can be measured by scientists to
confirm their existence in intergalactic space.

The visible galaxies in the universe are not isolated and disconnected but are
interwoven by a filamentary web-like structure - which is the invisible dark
matter scaffolding of the universe. The web-like structure is both a signature
feature of invisible dark matter and magnetic plasma. The appearance of this web
bears an uncanny resemblance to a cross-section of the brain. (Refer: Brain vs
Universe)

But it is not only the morphology (i.e. structural aspects) of the large scale
structure of the universe which is similar to the human brain but also the
physiology (i.e. the functions). These filaments carry currents of charged
particles (ions) over large distances that generate magnetic fields - similar to
a nerve fiber. And they form circuits, just like the neural circuits in the
brain.

The high degree of connectivity is what sets the brain apart from an ordinary
computer. Connectivity is also apparent in the cosmic web. Galaxies are formed
when filaments pinch or cross each other. A nexus of filaments (including
thousands of tiny filamentary currents) will provide the connectivity for the
transfer of not only energy but information from one galactic nucleus to
another. This web-like structure of filaments and vortexes is also similar to
the acupuncture meridian system - which includes vortexes called "chakras".
According to Dr David Tansely, "The seven major chakras are formed at points
where standing lines of light (or meridians) cross each other 21 times. The 21
minor chakras are located at points where the energy strands cross 14 times."
These meridians are supported by probably thousands of other smaller filamentary
currents. This provides a significant amount of connectivity in our subtle
bodies. Similar filamentary currents in the large-scale structure of the
universe also provide a high degree of connectivity in the "cosmic brain".

Over time, tiny filamentary currents grow into large filaments as the amount of
current flowing through them increases; in others the current decreases
according to plasma dynamics. These filaments form networks that reflect the
state of the universe at a point in time. The filamentary currents therefore
appear to be able to generate the same mechanics that occurs in a brain -
enabling memories to be encoded.

Magnetic fields are generated across vast regions of space and have been
detected by astrophysicists. Electrical currents in the brain also generate
magnetic fields which can be observed by measuring the magnetic fields they
generate outside the skull in a technique called magneto-encephalography, or
MEG.

Cosmic and planetary consciousness can have a valid scientific basis once we
realize that the filaments and galaxies in space, and the web-like structure of
filaments and vortexes on Earth, can encode information. Surely, if we can
accept an electro-chemical basis for the encoding of memories, why not an
electromagnetic one in space and interpenetrating the Earth (as in computers
using neural networking technology)?

These vortexes are also seen on the back of each human head which display the
spiral of torsion fields and spiral galaxies. This and much more is present in
my work and I would appreciate a review of this material by anyone
who would like to offer feedback to my work.

I was recently asked by a neurologist Dr Joseph Rhawn to submit a scholarly
article to the Journal Of Cosmology.com concerning these ideas. Dr. Rhawn's
response to my ideas were as follows:

Greetings Larry Thomas,

Thank you for the interesting note. Back in the 1970s, when I was measuring
neurons under a powerful microscope, the gestalt was such that it was as if I
was staring into deep space at a beard of stars and galaxies. The human
hippocampus resembles some galaxies...

I am interested in the websites you refer to.

It just so happens that the December and January editions of the Journal of
Cosmology will be devoted to quantum physics, the cosmos and consciousness
(December) and the Multiverse (January), and I was planning an article... and
then I receive your very interesting note.... an anonymous note (naughty
naughty).

Greetings Larry Thomas,

Thank you for all the info. Again, the timing is perfect as I am preparing to
write a paper on quantum physics and consciousness. However, I won't begin that
task for at least another 5 weeks as I am totally overwhelmed with so many tasks
and responsibilities that I require 3 of me and a 72 hour day to get everything
done. In fact, I have a co-authored paper which I'm working on which has a
November deadline, and I've agree to coauthor a book with Chandra Wickramasinghe
and he is asking me if I've started reviewing the material he sent!

One step leads to the next (in my temporal sequential universe), and therefore,
I will not begin seriously reviewing and thinking about the material you've sent
for several more weeks, when I shift my focus to the quantum physics and
consciousness paper which has a December deadline.

Thank you again for sending me this material and the links--the timing was
perfect!
Synchronicity!!!

Greetings Larry Thomas:

Thanks again for the interesting, thought-provoking email of two days past. The
executive editors at the Journal of Cosmology, have an editorial policy which
encourages speculation and theory, but they also have a strict rule requiring
authors to have a Ph.D. and a professional affiliation with a university or
research institute.

When I read your note, I thought of the forthcoming December and January
editions whose themes include the multiverse, quantum physics, the cosmos and
consciousness.

If you were interested in preparing a scholarly article, and have a Ph.D. and a
professional affiliation, I would be pleased to pass on your name and email
address, and my recommendation, to the managing editor. If you meet their
professional criteria, they would probably send you an invitation to submit a
scholarly article.

Thank you for sending me the links and your provocative note. The timing was
perfect.

Truly,

R. Joseph, Ph.D.

Greetings Larry Thomas,

Thanks for the info.

My paper is appearing in this December's edition of the Journal of Cosmology.
http://JournalofCosmology.com

If you believe you can construct a scholarly, scientific paper, similar in
quality to those in the December edition, then contact Emily Lu, the Managing
Editor at the Journal of Cosmology.
Send her the abstract of your paper, and indicate I suggested she might consider
it.

R. Joseph, Ph.D.

I would appreciate a review of this material by you or any of your associate who can debunk its validity. Feel free to contact me with favorable or argumentative feedback to these ideas.
If there are any debates on the material please view the video references which
may clear up any skeptical thoughts that you may have about the work.

You can also download the Microsoft word version of the site which has more diagrams than the website and is the updated version of Ascension Q.

Answer
Dear Larry,

Yes, the universe is interconnected. Actually, the core of 'advaita' philosophy of hinduism is that the universe and all the things, living and non-living, are only our illusions. It is our perception of what constitutes them, physical energy (like heat, electricity, light, etc.), which the hindus call 'Brahman'. 'Brahman', i.e., physical energy, perhaps acts in its own way (we do not know for sure if it is does or it is just our perception); but it is nothing that can be termed as intelligence in human terms. I will not jump to erroronous conclusions but leave the question for future generations when they know more. As to what you like to believe, it is your prerogative. With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Aupmanyav

Expertise

All, especially about atheism in relation to Hinduism. Brahman in Hinduism is like a quantum field in which all things, space, and time, are constituted.

Experience

Went through all beliefs in Hinduism and Buddhism (polytheism, monotheism, monism, shaivism, vaishnavaism) to arrive at Advaita.
