Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Divine Light (Pure Consciousness) is central Ito Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam/Sufism, Platonism/Neoplatonism, Gnosticism and Hermeticism. It is the Universal Spirit within us. With masses of evidence drawn from scholarly sources, this book demonstrates how the archetypal spiritual experiences underlying religious myths are explained scientifically based on the true scientific explanation of The Light and of enlightenment. This overwhelming evidence provides the 'Authority of Evidence' which, combined with rigorous argument, allows the author to repudiate famous Western thinkers including Nobel laureate scientists in regard to Consciousness and Spirituality. Dominant Western academic myths denying the possibility of unmediated, mystical knowledge of the Transcendental Realm underlying natural phenomena are undermined along with the West's false pretensions to Universality. In so doing the author exposes the Institutional Racism of Western Academia which peddles Eurocentric and White Supremacist myths about 'Ancient Greeks' and the History of Science and refuses to take seriously non European metaphysics. In establishing the One True Ontology, not only does this book truly integrate Science and Spirituality, Eastern and Western philosophies etc., but it also demonstrates that 21st Century Science actually resembles Ancient Indian metaphysics rather than the invalid, Anthropocentric myths of 'Ancient Greek' and Modern Western philosophers.

PREFACE
Ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti (That which exists is One, sages call it by various names) [Rig Veda 1.164.46]

Indian air surrounds us, and original thoughts of kindred spirits, And oh, how thoroughly is the mind here washed clean of all early engrafted Jewish superstitions! [Arthur Schopenhauer]

Schrödinger and Heisenberg and their followers created a universe based on superimposed inseparable waves... This new view [for Schrödinger] would be entirely consistent with the Vedantic concept of the All in One [The doctrine of the Atman-Brahman] the essence of Vedanta, is to him [Schrödinger] the grandest of all thoughts. [Walter Moore, A Life of Erwin Schrödinger)

What a yogic feat, what a giant leap for one of the world's oldest, greatest, and philosophically exalted cultures: from becoming one with Brahman... to impressing the whites... we have surrendered our souls to white worship... and self-hatred... Inside our heads, Indian civilisation has been defeated by Western values and materialism [Richard Crasta, Impressing the Whites: The New International Slavery]

I have used the terms Atman and Brahman in my title in order to stress the Indian origins of the philosophical knowledge of the Divine Light. The doctrine of the Atman-Brahman is the central element of Vedanta (Brahmanism) as first presented in the Upanisads (also known as the Vedanta or the 'end of the Vedas') dating from around 3,000 years ago. The Atman is the impersonal 'Self (meaning Consciousness or Spirit) within us that is one with the Universal Self or Universal Consciousness known as Brahman. The Upanisads stressed that the Arman is the Inner Light or the Pure Consciousness (cit), the (background) Ground-Consciousness underlying all other forms of Consciousness. This Pure (objectless or non-dual) Subjectivity becomes mutually superimposed with perceptual and conceptual consciousness which provide the objects of our dualistic experiences of Self and Other. The Sanskrit term Prajna (Luminous Wisdom Consciousness) was formulated to describe another aspect of the Divine Light, its subtle, non-dual content (i.e it is part of one's Self), realised only in deep altered states of enlightened jnana or gnosis. This follows cessation of all mental activity clouding the Pure Light with percepts and conceptual objects. This Atman was also found to be identical with the Prana or the Life energy, so called because cessation of this energy entailed death. This fact correlates perfectly with the primary brainwaves led by the brainstem nucleus known as the Reticular Formation which I as the physical correlate of the Divine Light (see Appendix for the full and is evidence confirming this correlation). The rhythmic impulse-firing activity of the Reticular Formation reaches out to all other centres of the brain and i known as the Reticular Activating System (RAS). These RAS 'brainwaves underlie all other so-called brainwave activity in the human brain as detected by the Electro-encephalograph (EEG). They constitute the background field underlying all other brainwave activity. Cessation of the RAS activity constitutes so-called 'Brain-death".

But as the Divine Light is the central element of all true Spirituality and of true Philosophy in its original sense of Philosophia (Love of [the Light of Divine Wisdom), the knowledge presented in this book transcends cultural limitations and is of universal significance. This Divine Light (in its Inner Light, Background-Consciousness, Life Energy or Luminous Wisdom Consciousness aspects) has been known by many mystique-laden names throughout History including the following: Agni ('the divine 'Fire' within our hearts' found in the Rig Veda), Atman, Cit (Pure [objectless] Consciousness), Prana, Saksin (Witness Consciousness), Bhavanga (Brightly Shining Mindstuff of early Buddhism), Sunyata (Emptiness), the Buddha Nature or Buddha Mind, The Clear Light of Death, Sophia (the Cosmic Light of Wisdom), the Light of Truth, the Godhead, the Archetypal Light, Nous poietikos, the [Inner Light of] Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Inner Light of Conscience, the Light of Life, The Living God, the Fountain of the Water of Life, al haqq (The Reality in Sufism), The Fount of All Wisdom, The Philosopher's Gold, The Fountain of Youth, The Elixir of Life, The Divine Spark, the Eternal Flame, the Uncreated Light, the Imago Dei, the Inner Man, the Innermost Self (or 'Heart'), the Twin of Mani, the Stream of Consciousness, the Absolute Consciousness, the Time Consciousness, The Holy Grail, The Subliminal Self, The Hidden Observer, the 'Christ Consciousness' and the Near-Death Experience Light.
