Unified Field Theory SOLVED (equation)

Wisdom Quarterly

The Heart Sutra in Korean Zen (Ch'an, Seon) Buddhism (somewhereindhamma blog)

And the answer is... First of all, there is a Buddhist physics? Yes, Buddhism teaches practical physics necessary for releasing the mind/heart from clinging to illusion and suffering.

And the answer is... Wait. Does an answer make sense without posing the original question? In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, we learned that THE ANSWER to "life, the universe, and everything" was "42." With that information in hand, we should have been happy. But we were not, because what exactly was the question?

"How many roads must a Man travel?" "At what age does enlightenment dawn?" ... "What is 6 times 7?"

Bodhi Dharma (above) found "zen" (jhana) after emptying his mind, just as Einstein noted that a solution cannot be found at the level of the problem. Hard at fun or fun at work, Einstein did not give up on solving the UFT equation. "Hard work" is no way to find something this elusive (The Masters of Enlightenment: Albert Einstein/Lowdensitylifestyle.com).

Similarly, amateur physicists hanker for a working equation, but most of us have forgotten the question. In the Hitchhiker's Guide, The Question was not well formed. As such, it was not properly posed to the semi-sentient supercomputer who calculated for generations to produce The Answer.

Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and the founder of Raytheon worked very hard before Einstein died in search of the answer.

Apparently, they found it. But Einstein died just after he formulated the equation, according to the controversial author Sean David Morton. He is not speculating but reporting. His sources, unfortunately, remain secret -- at their own request. And out of deference to their wishes Morton has novelized the story of how the answer was found, where it has been all this time, and what has been done with it by the military and parts of the government we know very little about.

Rest assured, something has been done with it. It is not a breakthrough to the secretive powers that be. And the fact that mainstream scientists are allowed to report that some particles, perhaps the most numerous in the universe (shy neutrinos that rarely interact), move faster than light goes to show secret science has moved so far ahead that it does not matter if we are now openly told special relativity is far from the whole story. Oh yeah, the answer is:

S = -MgC*dsb

This is a working equation (solution) for Einstein's Unified Field Theory. It should make about as much sense as E=MC2 or 42. Fortunately, it is explained in Sean David Morton's new book Sands of Time. We believe. And there are many reasons people should look to intuitive-futurists for mind-bending solutions that elude great mathematical geniuses. As the Buddha learned under the Bodhi Tree (and possibly Newton, Adam, and Eve under an apple tree), the answer does not come from muscling, pushing, straining, or "efforting." Instead, it comes from letting go.

• [Of course, this right brain letting go makes more sense and seems more effective if it is done after putting forward extreme effort by using the left brain, as Watson and Crick found out when vision gave them the double-helix design they could not force out of their rational calculations.]

Time really is not different from space. Time-space echoes what Mahayana Buddhist thinkers may have been hinting at in the famous Heart (of Wisdom) Sutra when they spoke of what Mu Soeng [an American of Indian descent who spent 11 years as an ordained Korean Zen Buddhist monk in Korea] translates "space-time" as "point-instants" in explaining that "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form."

• Points are kalapas (particles), and cittas (consciousness moments or cognitions) are instants in the older Theravada Buddhist commentaries Mahayana Buddhists were trying to explain and improve on. Thank you to PasaDharma Zen Group for its ongoing study of this important text:

Why do we exist? (Physics and Buddhism)

A Step Closer to Explaining our Existence

John Roach (Cosmic Log, MSNBC)

Why are we here? It remains one of the most perplexing unexplained mysteries of the universe. But particle physicists are gaining more confidence in a result from an atom smashing experiment that could be a step toward providing an answer: We exist because the universe is full of matter and not the opposite, so-called antimatter. When the Big Bang occurred, equal parts of both should have been created and immediately annihilated each other, leaving nothing leftover to build the stars, planets, and us. More

During insight meditation the body becomes transparent and particles become visible in the mind door (Buddhist-images.co.uk)

Why do "we" exist? (Buddhism answers)
Dharmachari Seven (Wisdom Quarterly)
Of course, ultimately speaking, we do not. That is what it means to say all conditioned things are impersonal (not self, anatta). What are "conditioned things"? They are the constituents of being, of clinging, of the delusion that things are self, permanent, or able to bring lasting satisfaction. It should be more obvious that there is a self. But what is the nature of that self?

Self, soul, ego, personality, "I" all refer to five functionally integrated components -- the physical and the psychological. The physical or material components of the self are the four characteristics of matter (called the Great Elements, mahabhuta). They further break down to what is called derived materiality* that make the sense organs, which are just configurations of the Four Great Elements. All of this is referred to as one group labelled "form."

The other Five Aggregates feel closer -- sensations, perceptions, mental formations (such as volition), and consciousness. They cling to the illusion of a "self" independent of them, in possession of them, controlling them. The self originates dependent on them. The illusion of our actual existence arises dependently originated on the aggregation of these five groups of factors. That is the self (soul, atta, atman, I, me, mine)! But what is the nature of the self? Looked at closely -- in a particle physics lab (in the case of form and kalapas) or in a meditation hall after emerging from the four absorptions (in the case of consciousness and cittas) -- it becomes perfectly clear that they are:

• radically impermanent (arising, turning, passing)
• unsatisfactory (disappointing, distressing, unpleasant)
• impersonal (not subject to control, following their own nature, not able to be clung to, dependent on karma, not self, not me, not mine, devoid of an owner and in that sense "empty").
  

It is completely incorrect to say we are "nothing." What we call a "self" is composed of many things. However, as with all "things," the composite is not what it seems.

Buddhist phenomenology, the "Five Aggregates of Clinging" (khandha)

Under the penetrating analysis of meditation (for purifying concentration and analytical insight, jhana and vipassana), even form is revealed. In Buddhist physics, form is seen as kalapas ("particles of perception") as explained in the Abhidharma. In Buddhist psychology, the aggregates of self-awareness are called cittas (mind moments, processes, consciousnesses, which make the most sense to me as being comparable to neuronal impulses, bearing in mind that there are neurons in the heart and throughout the gut as well as the spine, nerves innervating the body, and concentrating in the brainstem and cavity of the skull but in no way limited to the skull).

Why?
What is impelling the process, what causes the "self" to re-arise after passing away? Karma. This is not a guess. It is revealed by the insight-meditation practice of Dependent Origination, tracing back this life through the chain of causation, which the mind discovers is not in this life. It is not the same self -- which is passing away all the time -- but a self dependent past causes and present conditions.

Meditation (virtue, concentration, insight) is the key to realization.

Moral of the Story
All of this is directly, personally verifiable. We don't own a large hadron collider; yet, it is possible for the mind to be collected and intensified (through optimal-concentration, samma-samadhi) to discern kalapas. None of this is to be taken on faith. None of this is dogma. It is all experiential. And this is sure: If one does not make the effort to realize the Truth (not "learn" it or "believe" but realize it for oneself), whatever the Truth is, one will not become enlightened or liberated from ignorance and illusion. Without liberation, disappointment is certain (not eventually but in every moment).
