The Time Energy Space theory is inherently manifest, underlying, and harmonized with a state of mind that assesses both science and religious belief. It announces that the universe and all of its expressions are created by time-energy-space, the TES. Even the ethereal phenomenon of compassionateness is a product of this unique and universal embodying.
There are shapes of energy and proportions of space that have not so far been quantified by science. Those inexplicable realities are as well within the natural workings of TES. Nothing in the cosmos is supernatural and beyond the natural law*. Everything that exists is made through cycles of the TES, both on the bigger material scale regarding the constitution of stars, galaxies, and planets, and on the subtler inner dimensions affecting the phylogenesis of the brain and consciousness.
The Hindu word 'Atman' signifies the soul of life and the essence and center of being. The Atman is not just the individual human mind, but is outlined as the universal soul that exists all over. For this treatment, we will apply the word Atman rigorously to denominate that part of the TES that becomes self-conscious on the grand cosmic wheel. We therefore specify the Atman as the universal cosmic consciousness.
The vast majority of the TES lives unconsciously, without experiencing or aliveness. This part is made of empty space, stars, and the majority of planets. Archaic life patterns that do exist on planets have a functional consciousness that permits them to survive by interacting with their environment. The fundamental awareness of physical objects compounded with the pleasure-pain mechanism makes the evolutionary footpath by which the nonconscious TES tardily develops to higher degrees of consciousness. The nonconscious TES, raw matter and energy, bears to the partially conscious TES, the universe of plants and animals. Then with the evolution of higher animate being* the intensely conscious TES, the Atman, originates. This immense and limitless consciousness is a normal product of the TES and is inherently aeonian.
When humans become enlightened their consciousness connects with the Atman, but they never achieve supernatural powers outside of the natural laws and dimensions of the TES. Enlightened beings continue being physically mortal, but their consciousness turns one with the primordial consciousness of nature itself. This Atman has always existed, and it will exist everlastingly into the future.
No human has ever acknowledged the unconscious part of the TES directly, as all that we know is within the world of consciousness. We become aware of the unconscious realm of the TES only through illation. When you look at a tree, you're not seeing the tree directly, but kind of a mental representation of the tree created by your own psyche. Our experience of colors, smells, tastes, and sounds are altogether subjective conceptions of our mammalian neurological evolution.
Therefore the question: "whenever a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, is there any sound at all?"
As long as we experience we exist as individuals we'll suffer since that perceptual experience is grounded on a temporary neurological illusion. This illusion of an individualistic 'I' is so weak that even sleep destroys it. Every time you get into deep sleep, your consciousness temporarily dies and your subjective personal identity dies with it. Get rid of the feeling 'I exist' and you abolish attachments which produce tension, suffering, and beliefs of risk.
When you focus your consciousness on that which is limited, you become diminished and vulnerable. Once you open your consciousness to experience the entire universe, you become immense, oceanic, and without mental torment. Therefore, the art of meditation is the art of inner astronomy.
The supreme experience of the TES is so vast that there is nothing that compares to it. With no comparability conceivable, the experience of everything senses like nothingness. How can infinity possess a sizing or an anatomy when by definition it has no boundaries?
The TES is so broad of space that it experiences like limbo, and therefore many enlightened teachers have named it the Void. This feeling of the ultimate extinction of all things is cosmically erotic and, in a curious contradiction in terms, is it a rich and positively charged experience. Scientifically speaking, even this ultimate experience is as well a subjective illusion since matter-energy and time-space do exist, even if enlightened ones do not perceive them in the common gross physical way.
Whenever one looks profoundly into the easterly religions, the Hindi and Buddhist conception of an ultimate personal liberation, "nirvana" or "moksha," is inconceivable if you adopt the idea literally. Ask yourself two fundamental questions. Who is attending to be set free, and what is he going to be liberated from? Truly the 'who' and the 'what' are selfsame.
Demand yourself what being was behind the eyes of the Buddha? The response is time-energy-space, the TES. Then ask yourself what being was behind the eyes of Adolf Hitler? The answer is notwithstanding the same time-energy-space. Individuals do exist and have reality, but they are barely temporary products of the TES, which constitutes our underlying immortal identity.
The TES is forever creating new life and new personalities out of its own existence. The individual is always in risk of being destroyed, but the cosmic presence that animates us is eternal. Unless the entire TES is wiped out, liberation from cycles of life-or-death is unthinkable.
The TES creates a human and that individual goes through joy and suffering, but it is the TES owning these experiences in a dreaming play that the TES itself creates. The TES is within each cell of our organic structure and is our genuine individuality, not the impermanent mortal personality that holds a picture ID in his wallet. Therefore, the goal of religion should not comprise an impossible dismission from the inescapable cycles of life, but rather how to make the unstoppable reality of life more joyous.
The word 'TES' is a temporary conception, as are all the holy words of ancient scripture. Those words are adverts utilized to designate that which is beyond whatever language. It is just an attempt to express that, which cannot be expressed by loads of academic scriptures. No name can stick, and no philosophy can ring true, as you cannot paste a bumper sticker on a tidal wave. You cannot condense a supernova into a library.
In time, all evidence that human animals subsisted on this world will be washed away and new civilizations will be born on different worlds to take our place. Those new conscious existences will discover the unity of the TES, which they will address by another name in a language never spoken by any human being. The meaning, however, will be the same.
A 21st century non-religion?
Just for fun, here are ten basic precepts for a Tesian non-religion.
1) The Tesian essentially concords with The TES Hypothesis, which is a gentle, lovingly atheistic and science respecting pattern of pantheism, a minimalist path of open-mindedness and allowance.
2) The Tesian believes in supreme meditation with minimum school of thought. When it comes to philosophy, less is more. When it comes to meditation, more is even better.
3) The TES non-religion has no Popes, no hierarchy, no theocracy, no institutions, and no fat-cat gurus riding in Rolls-Royces. For Tesians, even those who become enlightened remain ordinary human beings in all other respects.
4) Tesians do not use drugs, alcohol, mantras, chanting, or so-called "visualization meditations." A Tesian must do nothing to cloud his consciousness.
5) Tesians believe that we should help others physically in the real life and not just talk about compassion. Tesians understand that one can only help others from a position of strength and wealth. Asceticism helps no one.
6) A normal healthy sex life is encouraged. Creating conventional families with one mother and one father is understood as essential for the endurance of the humankind. Tesians do not fall for destructive societal fads and trendy political correctitude.
7) The cardinal sin of the Tesian way is to turn meditation into a business. No spiritual prostitutes are allowed in this non-religion, since the profit motive kills the delicate and esthetic heart of meditation.
8) A Tesian does not steal, cheat, lie, or use violence except in self-defense. Tesians honor all the evident traditional principles of good behavior and no pseudo-spiritual excuses are ever used to cover up bad behavior. A lie is not "Tantra," it is just a lie. A theft is not a "spiritual device," it is just stealing. A Tesian must do unto others, as he would have others do unto him.
9) A Tesian does not judge life by branding; it is either a suffering or a blessing. Judgment comes from intellection and memory, both of which are restricted and cannot contain the entire universe. If you enounce that life is a suffering, then you are exclusively remembering the painful moments. Whenever you say that life is a blessing, then you are only remembering the wonderful moments. The aspiring of the Tesian is to become a silent witness to the vastness of life, without the limiting distortions of thought, memory, and judgment.
10) The Tesian non-religion is disposable. These ten precepts are designed to be read once and then blanked out. Words are no substitute for meditation
A concise Tesian prayer
All the stars are inside me, because I am the space. There is no history. There is no biography. I only do exist here and now.
