ancient seers in india

ancient seers in india more than 5000 years ago determined to understand the property of existence, what is it that is experienced and how does that relate to what is being experienced. unlike scientists, these seers did not go into the world and analyse the objects around them, rather they went into seclusion and entered into meditation to examine the system that creates the experience. what they found was remarkable, that what is experienced is not the object itself but rather the emanation from the object, the light reflecting the air waves rebounding, the odors arising, the outer surface coating yet not the actual object itself. the properties of matter the intrinsic nature of form was still mysterious and unknown. to know an object we define its shape, color, smell, temperature and weight, yet what do we know of the object itself, and especially what do we know of the organism when the object is alive. form has no definition except as the holder of properties identified by the senses. we know from science that the form is made up of infinitely small particles that exist in fields of energy and have no set arrangement until examined by an outside agency of awareness and consciousness, thereby enforcing its arrangement of awareness on the alignment of the particles/waves of energetic potentials. yet the object persists despite the unformulated essence of its origin. what exists is potential, the universal potential field that is the layer of illusary possibility, of consciousness unborn. before awareness existed, before there was a screen upon which to project anything, potential was nonexistent. in the bible it says, in the beginning was the word, the word meaning the blueprint for the structure of the field of potential, that there would be a field of awareness that would become the screen upon which all consciousness would be projected. for consciousness is not a static receptor, but is the active agent of manifesting, it is consciousness that defines the elements of form, and its expansion into every possible permutation in existence.it is consciousness that delights in the process of creation and the actions that follow the force of being shaped into structure and combination without end. just the desire to be and to know being creates everything, for to be is singular but to know being is duality and into this essential creation of being and knower comes all delight. for in everything that exists both qualities abound, every form has the quality of being and yet where is the quality of knowing, for the form itself has no knowing so in that creation the knower is implanted in the form and becomes an agent of consciousness, a separated consciousness that can delight in its own form, and has the quality of being as every form does, and here we see the intrinsic consciousness that inhabits all matter. in matter alone consciousness is deformed and nascent, unable to react to anything dormant and unresponsive, but through the delight of knowing the force of being is exalted and in the knower is the desire to merge with the being, in order to know, matter is organized and any combination of form that increases the knowing is repeated and concentrated to increase the bliss of the union of knower and being. throughout all creation and unstoppable recreation, all that is needed to bring knower and being together is created, and the search for new ways that knower and being can be combined is the pinnacle of its drive to be and to know being. so all evolution has been directed to the creation of the knower, in form to experience the forms being and to know it is the knower of being. and in being is the latent force of existence and the static element of awareness that allows the play of the forces to be experienced.so there is the experiencer, the form of the knower, and that which is the field of experience, all form and its field of awareness. from this grew the physical machine, the inner vital drives, the sex and reproduction, the element of emotion and thought, and the evolution of the separate mind/thought/ego and the ability of learning and intelligence as well as the psychic awareness that senses the quality of being directly from the forms inherent quality of existence and through which the experience of the formless nature of being is fully known and creating the rejoining of the universal being with the knowing of that being as one nature undivided and without form. in this we are in the evolutionary process to become that which has no form and possesses all knowledge without knowing.
