Mind and infinity.
Imagine two serpents coiled upon themselves.These two are two zeroes (Brahma/prakrithy,Ekam/anekam)and in the figure of 8 pattrn they are the symbol of anantham eternity of existence.(ashtam,ashtadalapadma,octave etc)Hebrews called it alef null from which the symbol alpha (the one we use for meditational brain waves )originated.Westerners call this leminiscate.But started to see the leminiscate as the symbol of eternity only in the 17th century.(Rudy Rucker.Dept of Mathematics .Randolph Macon women’s college –virginia)The father of eternity theory in modern mathematics is George Canter.He renamed it alef null and introduced a new symbol.
Only in 16th century did Galileo understand in the western world that there is an eternal time,and discovered calculus.Canter discovered three types of eternities.
1.The absolute (paramarthasatha)
2.Physical infinities (Time and the sky or timespace)
3.Infinity grasped by human mind
The last two were together called transfinites by Canter.In a figure of 8 the big bang and the big stop are continuing forever in a cyclical pattern as if in a coiling serpent and what is big stop is a big crunch the next moment.This consciousness within your heartspace(hridaakaasa)of the Brahmaprakrithy is always something transcendental,which you cannot express with ordinary language.The hridaakaasa of the Indian is now known as the mindscape by the western thinkers.
When Joshua Roys say that the mental image of one’s own mind must be infinite ,it is an echo of the mirror image universes of the ancient astronomers which are seen in successive generations of yogis as heartspace(in guruparampara).Our thoughts and views are within our mind ,and are like one mirror in front of another and like that an infinite number of mirrors reflecting the same truth.Here the word jeeva is changed to mind in a guruparampara.

Thus the world in our thoughts is the conscious world of ours and when the consciousness of a guru becomes one with the disciple they become one individual and not two. If all my thought processes and researches and books are considered as a single set ,mathematics is the science that study the qualities of my internal world with a set rules.My universe with the definite set rules are within me,and outside me as the cosmos and what is in meis a blueprint of what is outside me.The absolute truth cannot be grasped by the finite mind,but can be grasped by two ways
1.The rational way(vivekam).My commentaries on Prasthanathraya is my attempt to grasp absolute by rational logical scientific methods.My medical knowledge of the neurones also is a rational way.
2.The mystical way(experience or Anubhoothy) My musical experiences, and dream experiences,my dhyana experiences and imagery in poetics etc is the result of the second method of knowing the absolute.
According to me the mystical experience through music and dream visions had been of more use for me to grasp or understand what little I have known of the absolute.Sankara also said that swanubhoothy is better than logic.Rudy rucker also says to understand infinity only mystical experiences can be relied upon.Hence the importance of Naadalayayoga or musical transcendental experiences in my consciousness.
