Even if the entire structure of the world could be expressed mathematically—as information and transformation—the purpose of knowledge would remain incomplete until that knowledge became realised knowledge. In Kashmir Śaivism, the ultimate aim is not merely to construct an accurate representation of reality, but to recognise the very consciousness in which that representation, the observer, and the observed arise. Mathematics may describe the relations between the observer, the observed and the process of observation, but Pratyabhijñā occurs when their apparent separation is recognised as a manifestation of one Cit, whose essential nature is Prakāśa-Vimarśa—self-luminous consciousness aware of itself.

Such knowledge, in the absence of realisation will only bring further degradation as it will be used only physically and in absence of morality. Hence, i believe many here( bhu भू :) with such knowledge remain hidden because it has to be realised and not proved.

Thus, however complete the mathematical description of manifestation may become, it remains knowledge about reality until the knower recognises:

I am not merely an observer situated within this structure; the power by which the observer, observation and the observed appear is Śiva's own Svātantrya, and that consciousness is my own Self. However, question is not merely this, it is also, the highest level of achievement with a human body. Something tells me, some levels of KS are not humanly possible.

Even after such examination the body remains and hence the realisation of knowledge remains unresolved. A complete resolution of knowledge will collapse the world in singularity.

Until this recognition occurs, knowledge may explain the world, but its deepest intention remains unfulfilled.

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have signed a collective defense agreement. The central clause of the "Makkah Agreement" is a collective defense clause.

Any armed attack against one of the three countries will be considered an attack against all of them.

This clause is intended to strengthen collective deterrence against aggression and improve all aspects of security cooperation between the three countries.

However, it is likely that we will be engaged with Pakistan in the next year or so. That means regionally we will become an ally of Iran. But we are an ardent supporter of Israel and US who is attacking Iran with the help of Saudi Arabia.

We are supporting Russia against US, but we are with Japan, who is holding US economy hostage.

Lot of confusion ongoing.

Turkey let me remind you becomes important in the biblic prophesy and has an important role to play in the coming wars.

I work in a government department. Usually, I try my best in every work. Not because I want recognition but because I feel privileged that lord shiva has given me such position to work for the betterment of the people.

I am not a big talker and am usually reserved in sharing thoughts. The work does the talking for me. But, after the work I just want to walk away I don't want any recognition for it. It was my duty I am not doing a favour to anybody.

I feel highly uneasy when people appreciate the work. People on their high horses feeling like they are superior because of the position they hold, it makes you feel, I don't know what that feeling is.

These people have always been chatukars most of their lives, got promotions because of cunningness. They don't deserve do give or take praise. Just accept the work and move ahead, don't get in my way.

If I am doing a good job, then decrease the red tapism. Don't ask me to itch your name in the works being done. It's not you or me doing this.

Then also, where I work it's a fine organisation due to lord shivas grace, I am able to do my work without corruption.

The issue in India is not with policies but with implementation. The policies don't reach the ground. If actually they have to be implemented they are very difficult.

Because papers can be manufactured to show progress, but in actual developments things are not straight. The implementation has to be studies as a seperate subject if India needs to function properly.

I see the pent up anger in young generation and they are justified in doing so. I see that there are cowards in government who will use force to suppress protest.

However, I will say the same thing, as I said in Israel Hamas war. Israel was right to fight against terrorism but in the way they lost and became what they were fighting against. It's difficult when you fight an evil force. They force you to be evil, but then even after winning you loose.

There are a few things, you have to stop violence. It's not good for anybody. It's age of IT and record if someone is using unnecessary force against you, warn them. Save, girls and women from atrocities.

The whole of leadership is cowardly. If this continues, i see high chances of either of two things - i) They start a war - for this a terrorist attack would happen, this gives them free hand to impose curfew and impose restrictions ii) they start religious riots - it's easy send a few muslims and start attacking random hindu idols.

You have to find the way of unity. Whenever in doubt use the talisman, if your action leads to unity in people it's good if it leads to differentiation it's not, the unity should not be temporary or based on short term gains.

You have to make decisions yourself, CJP, AAP or congress will not come for you and your family. Also, this does not mean don't protest, but understand what's right and wrong. BJP is wrong, but you can become them.

Also, remember that the people like Akhilesh Yadav etc are goons, this father was a goon. He is no better than BJP. Rahul Gandhi is a good guy but he is not a leader. Kejriwal has used the students but I think he will loose the control of what he has created. Fend for yourselfs.

With this, I had another vision yesterday - lava flowing in Chattisgarh. It was a mantle plume. It was scary and starts randomly, it's something like what happened in Iceland.

During an inner experience, I felt that once a certain threshold is crossed, the ordinary meaning of experience itself may no longer remain. The particular standpoint of the limited self—the sense that “I am this distinct experiencer, standing here in relation to others”—seemed as though it could disappear.

The people we love would still be present, but perhaps they would no longer be perceived through the preferential vision of the contracted self. Reality might instead appear in its fundamental equality or neutrality—samatā—where no being is ultimately separate from another and all forms are recognised as expressions of the same Consciousness.

Intellectually, I understand that the special importance assigned to “my” viewpoint may arise from āṇava-mala and the contraction of the pramātṛ. The non-dual condition has always been the underlying reality; it is only the limited perception that makes certain persons, events and experiences appear uniquely meaningful in relation to oneself.

Yet this raises a serious question for me: can the individual mind and heart bear the weight of such recognition? If the special standpoint of the limited self dissolves, what happens to love, responsibility, grief, purpose and the meaning of human relationships? Does samatā make everything appear neutral in the sense of indifference, or does it reveal a deeper form of love in which attachment is transformed but care remains?

How does a realised practitioner continue to participate in ordinary life when all beings are seen as manifestations of the same Śiva? From the standpoint of Bhairava, what gives meaning to action, relationship and compassion once personal preference is no longer the ultimate basis of experience?

Is the fear that “nothing will make sense” merely the fear of the contracted self anticipating its own loss, or is there a genuine transitional difficulty when the old structure of meaning begins to weaken before the fuller recognition of Śakti has become stable?

At this is point is it better to force the point of view of unity or to wait for anugraha of Shiva to open the doors further.

I would be grateful if senior practitioners could explain how Kashmir Śaivism distinguishes between spiritual equanimity and emotional detachment, and how Ananda functions after the limited pramātṛ is no longer taken to be the centre of reality.

You have to realise that some infighting has been going inside BJP. The two main internal opponents of Shah in the previous history are now under intense scanner. Nitin Gadkari for ethanol and Yogi for Ram Mandir chori.

This means Modi is considering retirement in next year or so. Therefore, someone has to be his replacement. This is going to get worse from here.

Another thing is BJP has made an elaborated institutional structure. It has district offices, which have daily running expenses. It has a IT cell, which I believe they have outsourced to another south indian country. They have to facilitate, corruption and greed inside the party else the people they have bought will revert back.

But the country has a whole is in a downfall including major industries which are the sources of BJP. Adani has to be seen not different from BJP in this context. Accordingly, not far from now, economics inside BJP will breakdown.

Let's see what happens

The front at US Iran is getting complicated, which means Bal-al- Madeb strait will be closed any moment from now. Oil prices will rise. Gradually the inflation

The super El nino is becoming a cause of concern after initial spell of rains, there is a stop. The reserves are low. There is also shortage of fertilizers. It's becoming a perfect Strom for agriculture.

Sonam Wangchuk, I feel will rise the consciousness of India again. He is a good person and needs to survive.

Things on a whole are speeding towards a conclusion.

It may be seen that, both Śivoham and Om Namaḥ Śivāya point toward the same tattva, but their movements are different.

Om Namaḥ Śivāya begins from the side of the limited pramātṛ — the bound knower. Here, the seeker recognises the limitation created by āṇava mala, the contraction of the infinite Aham into a small personal “I”. Through namaḥ, this contracted ego bows, softens, and offers itself back to Śiva. In this sense, Om Namaḥ Śivāya means: when the limited “I” is surrendered, Śiva alone remains.

Śivoham, however, belongs more directly to pratyabhijñā — recognition. It does not mean that the limited ego-personality is Śiva. Rather, it means that the real Aham, the pure “I-consciousness”, is Śiva Himself. This Aham is not the individual ego, but the universal subjectivity in which all beings, objects, thoughts, and experiences arise as Śiva’s own vimarśa.

Therefore, Śivoham should not create superiority. Properly understood, it destroys superiority. If Śiva is truly “me”, then Śiva is also every other being, every perception, every form of idam. The same cit-śakti shines as all. Nothing is outside Śiva, because the whole field of experience is His own self-expression.

The danger comes when the contracted ahamkāra appropriates the mantra and says, “I, this limited person, am Śiva.” Then recognition is replaced by spiritual pride. Instead of dissolving bheda-buddhi, the sense of separation, it strengthens it. Such a misunderstanding belongs not to Śivoham, but to the persistence of āṇava mala.

Similarly, Om Namaḥ Śivāya can also be understood universally. One may bow to Śiva not merely as an external deity, but as the inner Aham present in all beings. However, because the movement begins with the experience of “I bow to Śiva”, there remains a subtle risk of maintaining duality between the worshipper and the worshipped, between the seeker and Śiva.

Thus, Om Namaḥ Śivāya may be seen as the path of surrender of the contracted self, while Śivoham is the path of recognition of the universal Self. One dissolves the false “I” through offering; the other dissolves it through direct recognition. In both, the end is the same: the disappearance of the limited ego and the recognition that all manifestation is Śiva’s own svātantrya, His free self-expression.

Something unusual happened yesterday while I was sleeping. I became lucid inside a dream, and in that dream I saw a snake. Suddenly, even within the dream, I remembered that the snake is a symbol connected with Shiva.

The moment that recognition arose, my head began to pulsate intensely. Before I could understand what was happening, I felt myself moving into an out-of-body experience. I was not fully in control, and much of my ordinary knowledge of this plane seemed to fade away.

I found myself near my father’s house. I went to the neighbouring place and turned on the TV for the people there. Suddenly, I noticed an old couple looking directly toward me, as if they could see me. I became frightened and ran away.

For what felt like almost an hour, I wandered through the old homes where we had once lived. These places felt familiar, but also distant and strange, as if I was moving through memory, dream, and another plane at the same time. Eventually, I returned.

It happens through crown chakra Sahasrara. It gets activated before you get out.

Earlier I have had OBE, having this after a long time. Still, i can just be me dreaming stuff, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Can someone help me understand if it was actually obe or just another lucid dream.

The usual explanation of quantum theory often begins with a simple wave. This wave is treated as if it has a fixed wavelength, like a neat and regular ripple. From this fixed wavelength, we are told that the particle has a definite momentum, using the relation p=h/\lambda. From there, the momentum operator and the famous quantum commutation relation are motivated.

The problem is that this starting point is only valid for a very special case: a free wave that is not interacting with anything. Such a wave has a clean, fixed wavelength. But real quantum field theory has interactions. When particles or fields interact, the wave cannot remain one neat fixed-wavelength wave. Its momentum and wavelength content must change; otherwise, there would be no real interaction, only simple overlapping or superposition.

So there is a hidden shift in the reasoning. At the beginning, the theory uses a fixed-wavelength wave to motivate the basic quantum operator. But later, to explain interaction, the theory must allow the wavelength or momentum structure to change. That means the original fixed-wavelength picture cannot be the true foundation of the whole theory.

Even if Planck’s constant h is accepted as a universal constant, the problem remains: the momentum operator cannot be fully derived from p=h/\lambda once the wavelength is no longer fixed. The relation works neatly only for free, fixed-wavelength waves. It does not by itself explain general interacting states.

Therefore, the criticism is not that quantum field theory is mathematically useless or experimentally wrong. The criticism is that its simple textbook explanation is incomplete. It first uses a special free-wave picture to motivate the operator structure, but then moves beyond that picture when interaction is needed. The deeper structure of the theory—Hilbert space, operators, commutation relations, and interaction terms—is not truly derived from the free wave. It is assumed as part of the framework.

If action is built from classical notions like kinetic energy, potential energy, mass, and path, then using action to derive quantum waves and then using quantum waves to recover classical paths is not an ultimate derivation. It is a consistency structure or correspondence bridge but not a fundamental derivation. Is this assessment correct?

The universe appears through unmeṣa and withdraws through nimeṣa. But this should not be read as a literal temporal blink of Śiva. From the absolute standpoint, manifestation and withdrawal are not separated by clock-time; they are two aspects of the same freedom of Consciousness.

But without conception of time what is the meaning of such movement.

Trump said that we are 4-5 weeks away from when oil reserves start to go empty. The strait of Hormuz is not yet solved until Israel agrees, but it won't until Netanyahu is there.
