According to Saivagama, the divine consciousness is not simply cold, inert intellection. It is rather spanda, active, dynamic, throbbing with life, creative pulsation. The book are not a work of academic scholarship but a result of meditation in the form of an original metaphysical treatise on Spanda. They 'approach anew' (abhi-nava) the whole notion of Spanda - showing its relation to the nature of consciousness, space and time, using it to challenge the foundations of quantum physics and the much-distorted concept of 'energy' - whose roots lie not in Indian but in Greek thought. As a result, this new karakas are also able to offer a radically new metaphysical understanding of the nature of 'matter', the modern scientific 'mystery' of so-called 'dark matter and 'dark energy' and - last but not least - the true essence of music. Spanda is understood for the first time as primordial creative tension between a dark and inexhaustible womb of unmanifest potentialities of awareness or 'non-being - symbolized by the blackness of the great goddess Kali - with the realm of actuality or 'being' illuminated by the invisible light of awareness identical with the great god Shiva. Through a primordial awareness of the realm of potentiality, the autonomous powers of actualization or Shaktis latent within it are released - giving rise to a constant process of creative manifestation of all possible actualities and all possible consciousnesses or 'beings'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42159685173383,"sku":"9798529225721","price":12.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a2214d04554ce887ddbf89a77c4a6ffb.webp?v=1733268448","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/treatise-on-spanda-karikas-to-understand-liberation-creation-and-reality-the-nature-of-matter-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
