Facing your Sansara Universe with Dhamma Wisdom

Thesis by Mr. Piyasiri M. L. Hettige

In the Tripitaka the terms Vinnana, Sansara, Karma & Nibbana are referred to as infinite universal orders that defies clear definition of origin, computation and description. The reason why the Buddhas did not go into details regarding these issues was that with their super knowledge they knew at that time the Ordinary Humans would not be able to grasp the intricate Cosmological Nature & Composition of these Interchangeable Complex Cosmic & Astro-Mental Energy configurations and interactions which are more intricate than atomic energy interchange. As such their explanation would not have yielding any extra benefits to the lay followers who would nevertheless understand these ultimately with the dawn of Dhamma Wisdom. Hence these concepts have been regarded as infinite or non-quantifiable phenomena and left unexplained up to the present. However with the present levels of Technology advancement it has become possible to come up with Scientifically acceptable definitions of these Terms so that we can correctly interpret the meaning of the Buddhas Message through the Dhamma and face our own Sansara with the confidence gained through Dhamma Wisdom.

Before we proceed further it is essential to establish what exactly is meant by the term Life. In the Dictionary several vague descriptions are given, but herein, we are only interested in the Buddha’s clear definition of ‘Life’, which could be summarized thus: Life results with the combination of Nama, Rupa & Vinnana in various states of interaction between Mental & Physical Energy unique to each Plane of Existence, within the Material Universe. Nama means Ethic Identity or Name of the Vinnana Plane of Existence which has its own code of ethic standards, thus in the Human Vinnana Plane of existence the ‘Nama’ of the ethic code is ‘Human’. In the Plant Domain the Plant type code of ethics is apparent, similarly in the Animal Domains the Animal type code of ethics prevail. Rupa Means Form either Material or Ethereal. Humans, Animals & Plants have Material Forms, while Devas, Prethas etc., have Ethereal forms with a different degree of luminance according to their latent energy levels. Vinnana is defined and discussed in detail later in this paper, as such it will suffice to mention that without the appropriate mental energy supplement from the Vinnana, which is vital to activate the Ethic Consciousness of the Nama-Rupa no life continuum can take place. The moment the Vinnana dissociate from it the Nama-Rupa component dies. There will be a school of thought that will ask what has the Vinnana got to do in Plant Life? The answer is clear; the relevant Vinnana category in this case is a Single or Mono track Vinnana Energy Field that imparts only the Ethic Consciousness to the Plant so that it can manifest its growth properties accordingly.

Although no detailed description or clear definition of the terms Vinnana, Sansara & Karma are found in the Tripitaka to enable us to formulate an evaluation of the energy composition of the different categories, it is clearly mentioned that they are not bound or restricted by time, space or effected by Earth laws or phenomena such as gravity, magnetic fields, electricity, atmosphere etc., which leaves us no alternative but to accept them as permutations & combinations of Astro-Mental Energy fields that defy even solar radiation and are governed by a complex pattern of Cosmological principles clearly understood only by the Buddhas.

In order to fill the void thus create, probably, intentionally by modern Scientists that turned a blind eye to what could be termed the most vital issue of harnessing the unlimited capability of the Human Vinnanna (Trans-Sansaric Consciousness TSC), probably because these Scientists, influenced by Western Religious Institutions, feared that proper investigation of these concepts might bring to light startling and hitherto never dreamed of revelations confirming and consolidating the teachings of the Buddha and the Dhamma, the following hypothesis is thus presented as a first approximation which could be improved upon later by future intellectuals or Arahants:

Identifying Multi-Dimentional Parallel Universe Systems That Exist.

The Literal explanation of the term Universe is documented as all space and matter that exists. Yet no meaningful explanation is made of the limitless Mental Energy & Synergy Force Fields that are now known to co-exist and control this matter and space, which we have to recognize as Pure Cosmic Mental Energy Fields of (Parama Nana) Ultimate Consciousness and the Astro-Mental Energy Fields of the (Vinnanas) Trans-Sansaric Conciousness. Therefore it has become essential to recognise this Innumerable, Interdependent, Ethereal Universe Systems, which are existing within this Material Universe. Hypothetically they could be categorized as Follows:

Pure Mental Energy Universe System.

The Ethereal Universe of the Parama Nana (Ultimate Consciousness) with Cosmic Mental Energy Force Fields which are Multi-Dimensional and controls & condition all matter and space that exists in the Material Universe.

Combined Mental & Physical Energy Universe System.

(a) The Multi-Dimentional Vinnana Universe Systems as well as their Sansaric Universes of each Vinnana powered by interchangeable, life stimulating Mental Energy / Synergy resonance patterns which enable life within this Universe. Which the Buddha refered to as Infinite Sansaras associated with Re-becoming.

(b) The Four Dimentional, Material Universe which consists of all Space and Life Supporting Matter together with Life Modulating Physical Energy Determinants such as Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Gravity, etc.

Note: Interactions between the Pure Cosmic Mental Energy Fields of first named Universe Systems with the Physical Energy of the Material Universe give rise to the Sansaric Universes of the innumerable Vinnana Universes described as Item (a) in the above Categorization.

Analysis of the Infinite Concepts of Vinnana, Sansara & Karma, whose area of activities are restricted to the Combined Mental & Physical Universe Systems.

It would be a great folly to try to analyze these subjects independently of each other as such the Vinnana, Sansara & Karma can be defined as inter-linked and inter-dependent, variable, entities whose interaction could be satisfactorily portrayed using the reversible equation; VIN-NANA <-> SANSARA KARMA NANA. If we define the units of Vinnana as V~Mental Energy and those of Karma as K~Mental Energy & SANSARA as S~Mental Synergy (Sympathetic Energy) and the Absolute units of Vinnana Energy as Astro Mental Energy. Then the Absolute values of each side of the above equation will be represented in Astro Mental Energy Units. Thus the interaction between Sansara (Purpose Aspiring Synergy) and Karma (Cause Effective Cyclic Mental Energy) will always result in Astro Mental Energy powered nuclei which are eternally coupled together within the Sansaric Universe of the Vinnana and able to interact with elements of Material Universe to create Life or Living Organisms.

However if the impurities or defilement Mental Energy of Karma is limited to a level below the requirements of an Active Vinnana, a Passive Vinnana results and if they are totally eradicated the Astro-Mental Energy of the Vinnana reverts back to its original undefiled form of Pure Cosmic Mental Energy of the Parama Nana (Ultimate Consciopusness), which thus is the attainment of the ‘State of Nibbana’ (No Re-becoming) for that Vinnana.

Incorporating the information contained in the Tripitaka Texts and based on the above hypothesis we can proceed to define these concepts as follows:

Definition of Karma (Cause Effective Cyclic Mental Energy).

Karma could be defined as a Universal Order composed of Mental Energy which transcends Time & Space and is composed of Bi-Directionally motivated Positive Mental Energy (Good Karma), Zero Mental Energy (Neutral Karma) or Negative Mental Energy (Evil Karma) which act as the Sansaric Fuel that determines the Ethic Status power of the Sansaric Life Cycle the Trans-Sansaric Consciousness (Vinnana) could Sustain during a particular manifestation.

Technically we can explain its function by representing it as a Karma Chakra (Wheel of Karma), which is always coupled together with the Sansara Wheel by the ‘Modern’ Vinnana (TSC) which functions as an Accumulator cum Synchromesh which can store and transfer the Bi-Directionally motivated Kusala (Good ‘+ ve’) or Akusala (evil, ‘-ve’) Karma Power to the Sansara Wheeel as required to maintain or generate Sansara Chakras and capable of influencing the Vinnana according to its Nature & Power to Generate Sansaric Manifestations in any of the known Realms of Existence oscillating between births as Human, Celestial, Demon, Animal, Still to be Born, or those in Hell. No Time or Space Limitations.

Definition of Sansara or Infinite Sansara (Purpose Aspiring Synergy)

We can define the Sansara (PASLC) as a reciprocal Univerwsal Order which is Time & Space dependant, and composed of Sypathetic Mental Energy that supports extra-terrestrial multi-life form cycle generated by each Trans-Sansaric Consciousness (Vinnana), within a preset Purpose or Ethics Orientated Astro-Mental energy Network. The duration of life thus activated being dependant on the Energy demands of the particular purpose oriented Vinnana Plane of Existence selected, while the period of duration & quality of the life form thus generated depends on the stored Karma Energy levels contained in the Vinnana.

A more technical definition would be as Sansara Chakra (Life Form Cycle) which is always coupled to the Karma Chakra (Karma Wheel) by the Vinnana (TSC) which acts as the Master Synchromesh which distribute or transfer the motive Power of the Karma Chakra of a Vinnana to maintain a Life Forn within a pre-set framework while maintaining the capability of generating still further life forms for that Vinnana in any Realm of Existence according to the Karma (Sansaric fuel) reserves available for exploitation.

Definition of Vinnana (Trans-Sansaric Consciousness)

The Vinnana is a Multi-Dimensional Universal Order that Transcends Time & Space, with its own self generating Astro-Mental Energy powerhouse which could be activated only during a Human Sansaric Manifestation. This enables it to replenish its energy banks through complex interactions between Cause Effective Cyclic Mental Energy (Karma Nana) and Purpose Aspiring Sympathetic Energy or Purpose Aspiring Synergy (Sansara Nana) that combine in variable proportions under preordained condtions to produce Mental Energy Resonance patterns that stimulate sympathetic vibrations within a preset framwork, termed the Sansaric Universe of each Vinnana, and effect the manifestation of a particular life form for a specified period of time, dependant on its inherent energy levels, anywhere in the Universe. The Vinnana could be categorized into two: (a) Vinnana with Active Consciousness. (b) Vinnana with Passive Consciousness.

The Term Vinnana, itself, helps to understand it primary functions. This Term could be written as Vinaya-Nana which gives the Meaning ‘Ethic Code’ containing Consciousness thus in a Human Sansaric manifestation it willl bring to the fore front the code of Human Ethics that are relevant from its data banks. Now since the Ethic code for each manifestation is different from another it is the Sansara-Nana which is denoted as Purpose Aspiring Synergy or Purpose Aspiring Sympathetic Energy that enables the Vinnana to activate the Ethic Code of the life form it intends to produce.

A Graphical Illustration of the possible random interactions which could occur as a result of the Sansaric Paths traversed by any Vinnana in the different Vinnana Planes of Sansaric Existence according to the dictates of the Karma (Sansaric Fuel) availablility is presented below to clarify their interaction further:

CAPABILITY STATUS OF EACH VINNANA ACCORDING TO LIFE FORM.

This detail analysis of the Vinnana Universe based on the Dhamma Wisdom leads us to the following conclusions:

1. Out of all Life Forms only the Humans possess the supreme Vinnana which could be justifiably termed as a Super Consciousness, requiring the highest Astro-Mental Energy levels to maintain it, hence the short Time interval During each Manifestation.

2. The Human Sansaric Life Cycle is the only Sansaric location available for the Vinnana to carry out a Self Refueling exercise to recharge its Astro Mental Energy Reserves, through Karmic Volitional Activity.

3. In Deva or other similar planes of Vinnana Existence the only means available for enhancing its Mental Energy reserve is through the Benevolence of other Vinnana which have generated Human Sansaric Life and are willing to donate some of their hard earned Good Karma Mentral Energy (Nobody wants Bad Karma Mental Energy) to help sustain a Deva, Naga or Brahma Sansara in their respective Planes or elevate the suffering of a Non-Human Vinnana in a Retrograde Non Human Plane. But there is no escape for them from their own Evil Karma, which they will have to Live out till that retrograde energy is expended.

4. Vinnana that have generated Animal Sansaras Will have to live out their retrograde Astro-Mental Energy in Toto as they do not have the ability receive or recharge the energy banks.

5. Karmic energy can not be expected to multiply or increase many fold, for the Donor through the act of donation or transfer etc. as is wrongly believed by many and therefore we can not compare karma energy transfer as equivalent to ‘one candle rekindling thousands others without diminishing its glow’ which is false propaganda generated to confuse Pseudo Buddhists lacking the True Dhamma Wisdom and bind them eternally to Sansara.

6. When a Benevolent Human Vinnana transfers a part of its Kusala Karma energy certain Devas Prethas & Apaya Beings could receive and benefit from good Karma Energy specifically directed to them. However they cannot reciprocate & give back this energy to us until such time they in turn become Humans and we the Karma Donors are again in dire states and require their good karma tranfer to our Vinnana which then might have the capability to receive their reciprocal Karma donation. The Karma exchange will take place many Sansaras later after the act of original donation and could be termed as a act of gratitude or the fulfillment of an obligation.

7. As mentioned in the Tripitaka, ‘Human’ beings who are probably living in inhabited planets in distant Galaxies could live up to the equivalent of 80,000 or more Earth years. Based on this inference it would be plausible to assume that previous Buddhas who might have attainted Enlightenment in these Planets of different Galaxies would have established Buddha Sasanas that could be still in existence in these Planets and also that some out of the many Buddhas mentioned by the Gauthama Buddha 2500 years ago could be still alive elsewhere within this Universe.

Therefore as Humans who are seeking the Priceless Wisdom of the Dhamma and fortunate to have been born during a time when a Buddha Sasana is in existence in our World, we should never want or need to depend on others to power our journey through our Sansara, when we can do so ourselves by developing Dhamma Vinnana and accumulating Our Own Mental Dhamma Karma Energy Reserves. If we start now and use this Mental Energy to maintain ourselves as Human Beings with Dhamma Wisdom (Dhamma Vinnana) throughout our future Births, till such time we can have Sufficient Mental Energy reserves to become a Path Attainer, well established on the irreversible Dhamma Pathways, so that from thereon there will be no reversals to our Sansaric Journey until we reach our ultimate Goal of Nibbana.
