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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Fitzhenry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8529225724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798529225721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.11d","brand":"Jacques Fitzhenry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945052242175,"sku":"9798529225721","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_620fd581-3cb5-4390-89fd-884fc36e9827.jpg?v=1681506504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/treatise-on-spanda-karikas-jacques-fitzhenry-9798529225721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
