{"product_id":"the-new-spanda-karikas-peter-wilberg-9781463741006","title":"The new Spanda Karikas","description":"The New Spanda Karikas 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, these new karikas are also able to offers a radically new understanding of the nature of 'matter', the modern scientific 'mystery' of so-called 'dark matter' and 'dark energy' and - last but not least - to 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' - symbolised by the blackness of the great goddess Kali - and 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 actualisation 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'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wilberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1463741006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781463741006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.19d","brand":"Peter Wilberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936065716479,"sku":"9781463741006","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_682db998-4ca7-4d3f-904f-0d1e7af3d94a.jpg?v=1681423385","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-spanda-karikas-peter-wilberg-9781463741006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
