YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? NOT LIKE THIS…

Ivan Vasiliev from ilya kuznetsov on Vimeo.

There is a name being whispered conspiratorially around ballet circles at the moment.  That name is Ivan Vasiliev, or as the popular press is beginning to call him Rocket Man.  At just 21 he is the crown prince of the Bolshoi Ballet. Spartacus.

What is so special about him? Some would say his leonine grace on stage, others his fabulous looks.  Most, however, would agree that it his simply jaw dropping aerial brilliance that has struck audiences.   This boy can dance.  The jumps that he executes are so dazzling, the turns so punishing that even in rehearsals his ballet colleagues stop and applaud him.

Background —  The date of composition of the text of the Bhagavad Gita is not known with certainty, but is widely accepted as 5000 years ago.

Overview — The Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, narrated in the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata. It comprises eighteen discourses of a total of 701 Sanskrit verses. A considerable volume of material has been compressed within these verses. On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Sri Krishna, during the course of His most instructive and interesting talk with Arjuna, revealed profound, sublime and soul-stirring spiritual truths, and expounded the rare secrets of Yoga, Vedanta, Bhakti and Karma.

THE WAY or NO WAY?

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Tao or Dao is a concept signifying ‘way’, ‘path’, ‘route’, or sometimes more loosely, ‘doctrine’ or ‘principle’, or as a verb, speak.  Within these contexts Tao signifies the primordial essence or fundamental nature of existence. Tao is thus “eternally nameless”, or Immortal Spiritual Being, and to be distinguished from the countless ‘named’ things which are considered to be its manifestations, as the space, energy and forms of, and within, the physical universe, and other universes.

The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, or Dao De Jing (道德經: 道 dào “way”; 德 dé “virtue”; 經 jīng “classic” or “text”) is simply referred to as the Laozi. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi (or Lao Tzu, “Old Master”), a record-keeper at the Zhou Dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text’s true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC.

Many different translations, versions and interpretations of The Tao have been produced through the past 2,500 years, or so, since the original appearance.  Like any “religion”, the “opinions” and “interpretations” of “priests” MODIFY and INTRODUCE FALSE IDEAS into the original.  Therefore, I suggest that anyone who wishes to sincerely study The Tao as a body of wisdom, study many difference translations before you decide whether or not any of the many versions of this book point to “the way” or “no way”.  

Here is a link to a website containing many different translations, and COMPARISONS between translations.

IS OUR UNIVERSE ALIVE?

 “From our experience we can also say that each and every living organism (defined…as a system of information processing that is self-aware) seems to be allocated a subset of quantum-encoded resources sufficient to sustain itself and evolve.  The relationship between autonomous living organisms and the “operating system” could be similar to the relationship between autonomous computers and the network they are connected to.

Robust and reliable quantum-encoding seems a core and the necessary condition for existence of the entire operating system.How did the possibility of quantum-encoding come to existence? Could the quantum encoding have some purpose to exist?.If encoding has a purpose to exist, can the operating system be aware of itself?  If it is, it would mean that our Universe is alive…  “from Search for Life in Universe,  by Dr. Tom Chalko
