  1. How to trust the universe?

    I used the T.T.C. excerpt as just one small example....so if we stick with the T.C.C. for awhile we can also find "as the origin (or source) of heaven and earth, it is nameless". Btw, there is no way in hell you can prove your statement that "the universe has no source" or that I can hand you such a source that you can then measure with tools of physical measurement, that is as plain and as logical as can be, thus your definition is your own and not a truism for all.
  2. How to trust the universe?

    to some absolute means: an absolute unchanging Source, being that any thing that changes is obviously not in an absolute or always in the same state. Btw, you can find countless references to an unchanging absolute from various sources, one being the T.C.C. chap. 25 with, "standing alone without change"
  3. How to trust the universe?

    obviously "utilize" is not the same as "command", btw an individuals mind/programing creates his own reality to a certain degree, cracking open that individuals mental programs is then cracking open a reality beyond such limits. Also If you are alluding to the universe as being an "absolute" then I'd say that definition needs to include it being in absolute change or in flux, thus not an unchanging absolute as in the meaning of the term "Brahman".
  4. How to trust the universe?

    what great and all powerful ego thinks it can command the universe, which is what it sounds like you are alluding to Karl - hehe...
  5. the idea of a "spiritual pursuit" could be a very loaded pursuit*...thus its further definition could be talked about. I'd add a partial requirement per the general context of the o.p.'s question of the need for some honesty to one's self and others. (* being that you are probably talking about and or coming from a "right handed' type of or traditional and orthodox swami or householder Vedic based yogic path. (and not just westernized yoga for physical health)
  6. How to trust the universe?

    actually the universe is a matrix...and its form comes and goes we, it, that etc.. is transcendent to although connected to the matrix that it spins

    double integral (maybe ask Brian since I don't know) "which is the analogy of the formula Rc a f(x)dx = Rb a f(x)dx +Rc b f(x)dx for single integrals. Thus ZZD(xy−y3)dA = Z0 −1Z1 0 (xy−y3)dy dx +Z1 0 Z1 x (xy−y3)dy dx = Z0 −1"xy2 2 − y4 4#1 y=0 dx +Z1 0 "xy2 2 − y4 4#1 y=x dx = Z0 −11 2x− 1 4dx +Z1 0 x 2 − 1 4− x3 2 − x4 4!!dx = "x2 4 − x 4#0 −1 +"x2 4 − x 4 − x4 8 + x5 20#1 0 = −1 2 − 3 40 = − 23 40 In the next example the integration can only be done one way round."
  21. How to trust the universe?

    good questions...btw. the universe is pretty big, I try to just observe our local earth for some answers - for instance is she fair in the sense that the elemental forces related to the earth don't play favorites among us, and what happens if we work with the natural laws of living ecosystems or break them - is there law and order taking place in "nature" that we can see and know of and with that count on and trust in same? Mankind is not always fair with mankind because of various fears but what fear does the beautiful soul of the earth who works with the life-force have in her that would treat mankind or any kind of being unfairly?
