Thoughts on the Rg Veda

[wolven7]

Was thinking, today, in Hindu Sacred Texts, about the idea that the sound reproduction-- along with things like body posture, time of day, internal mental states, and so on-- is the key factor, and not, in fact, the "understanding" of what is being said and done. This being said, consider this: In Technological reproduction, we have, simultaneously, a more faithful reproduction of sound, and a less capable reproduction of other physical factors. The sound has the capability of being retransmitted, without the attendant ceremony. Couple this with the necessary vibrations of the workings of the technology under consideration, and we have ourselves a question.

What does the reproduction of the Sounds of the Universe, by technological means, do to the continuation of existence?

Just something to consider. I'm for bed.

Beleive it or not, I've actually pondered this (geek).
It was as a tangent to wondering if a computer were taught the mantras and sounds, and programed to repeate them properly, if it could atain enlightement without actually being scientient. A computer, really any electronic device governed by a time system, is the ultimate of presentness, as it knows nothing except the current state of its self at any one time. It even realizes that the concept of buffer and stack are illusions, and any programer worth their salt quickly realizes how dangerous such illusions are. If it were given the proper viehicle, perhaps a computer could be the next enlightened one.

As to your question, perhaps we have discovered the reason why the universe is the way it is now, regardless of what physics should say it is.

Of course, there's also the question of whether or not it is already enlightened, not having all the dragging shite of a sentient thing... :)

And once it *is* sentient, but lacking still in emotion and hangup, baggage, what then?

*meeps*

This is why I keep spare forks under my pillow. *hands the cuteness one* Here, they help against the evil toasters.

Adds another Voice and Layer to the Symphony. :)

Technological advances increasing exponentially, and all that...

Emotions, of some sort, tend to follow sentience, no matter how it is obtained, in my experience.

It will certainly be Different, and something to which we will all have to get used, but not completely new, i think.

Of its very nature, yes, but i'm wondering what effects that new layer has, in the long run... What dows it change, about itself, and those around it?
