MECHANISM OF BIRTH
Just before and after death, the only difference is the stoppage of heart-beat and it’s after effect of gradual stoppage of all types of circulation (and about 20g weight loss). This must be related to consciousness and life. But what starts the initial breathing? It cannot be fertilization of egg by the sperm, as action can produce only similar chain reactions due to inertia. Fertilization is transformative, whereas heart beat is perpetually repetitive. If we do not accept rebirth, we must admit that death is the end. In that case what is beginning and what is the mechanism of birth?
According to Shrauta Sootras, Agni is generated due to friction (gharshana) and Soma due to pressure (abhishava) between two bodies as in magnetism (which presses iron to magnets). According to chemical laws, rate of reaction rises as temperature goes up. Thus, Rhk Veda (5-44-14/15) says; when genital temperature rises (female is cool soumyaa externally, but its secretion – also electron charge – is hot aagneya) during fertility cycle; the not-so-hot (male is aagneya externally, but its secretion – also positive charge – is soumya) components seek mutual company. Copulation is friction, which raises temperature leading to pressing and ejaculation. This is called fertilization of egg by sperm (charge interaction in atoms). The proto-cells do not have a nucleus, but contain lipids that form membranes as described in Rhk Veda (1-164-4).
Females do not conceive every time they copulate. This is because Maatarishwaa Vaayu moves the fertilized egg sideways (vibrational bonding, which slows down reaction as temperature rises) to be confined in a process like magnetospheric reconnection that creates hydrothermal vents with pockets of warm water (Aapah) in the womb, a condition, which is believed by scientists to have created life on Earth (Lost City expedition). RNA chains get longer, evolving complex life forms like amoebas, worms, and eventually humans, though shorter RNA molecules reproduce faster. Longer RNA chains hide near hydrothermal ocean vents, where unique temperature conditions helped these complex organisms evolve. The mechanism of transformation of salty and alkaline fluid is described in Gopatha Braahmanam. The sideways motion by Maatarishwaa Vaayu (as udaana) creates a reaction couple (apaana-samaana) due to inertia of restoration. This starts heart beat perpetually (vyaana) in the new life form. This local perpetual motion is like functioning of mind (hrhdayaakhya manah. In the case of universe, it is called Swavashyas Manah) that created three different streams of motions, habitats and structures, as described in Rhk Veda 6-69-8 and Aitareya Aaranyaka. While Maatarishwaa Vaayu functions from the heart, mind functions from the brain. For this reason, Ayurveda describes its location in the brain above the palate. Hence Prashnopanishad describes that the new life form is due to the causal body (formed by Rayi-Praana that constitute linga shareera) brought in through the mind (manokrhtenaayaatyasminsharire). This proves the role of mind as explained earlier in the process of reproduction. But this cannot explain life. Conception is subject to uncertainty. Hence even during IVF births, multiple trials are required (God’s will?).
A recent report in The Journal of Neuroscience Volume 35 Number 10 reveals that not only brain cells communicate via electrical missives, created by ions as they travel across the membranes of those cells, but altering the electrical properties of these cells during the process leading to brain forming in an embryo or fetus can dramatically change how the ensuing brain develops. Before the development of a normal brain, the cells lining the neural tube, a structure that eventually becomes the brain and spinal cord, have extreme differences in ionic charge within and outside the membrane that houses the cells. In other words, these cells are extremely polarized (Praana-Apaana). Even the patterns of electrical potential in cells away from neural tube were crucial to normal growth. In ancient times, priests could ensure the birth of a boy through ‘pumsavanam’ without testing the sex of the fetus. Researchers also identified the molecular mechanisms – particularly the role of signals from calcium ions – involved in this effect. This mechanism-level understanding helps clarify ongoing questions about electricity’s (Aindra vidyut) part in shaping the brain. From gene-editing, researchers are moving to genome alteration techniques called germline modification.
PNA, tPNA, RNA, DNA, TNA, PAH, proteins, amino acid, etc., can be likened to accessories (for example: like electric wires, switches, bulbs, etc), but they are not the energy (electricity) that powers the system to make them functional. Atoms also are able to reproduce (so-called decay to other atoms or isotopes or isomers), able to grow (similarly as stated) and able to respond to stimuli (charge interaction). Since according to modern science these are features of life, atoms also can be described as having a life (scientists frequently use the term half-life). However, they are not sentient (prasupta spandana). Plants and animals have limited intelligence (savaasanaavilaa). Human beings exhibit increased intelligence (pravrhddha spandana). There are higher forms (prakshipta spandana) also.
Information encoding that passes from a cell to its descendants can go in many directions. RNAs can be written back into DNAs or a DNA strand can be reoriented by a protein, thereby changing the genetic program. Information polymers are molecules, which themselves are broken apart in water. In replication, cells create copies of themselves using enzymes, which are the proteins that underpin complex reactions, such as digestion. One property that distinguishes living beings from inert objects is their freewill – capacity to initiate action (pravrhti saamarthya). Inert objects cannot do this – they only respond to stimuli. The effect (phala) of Freewill is either harmonious to our genetic composition (sukha) or not (duhkha) based on release of free radicals or not. This determines our response to subsequence impulses making everything deterministic. Freewill of living beings can be physical, mental or through speech form. While the first two are similar to mechanical functioning, inert objects cannot initiate these functions. The third function has two divisions (Saraswati Vaak – a derivative of Bhrhgu and Ambhrhni Vaak – a derivative of Angiraa, both derivatives of Parameshthee Prajaapati). While the later is mechanical and related to functioning of the physical world (as explained in Rhk Veda 10-125), it requires a conscious agent to program or initiate it (Aham Rudrobhih…). The former is a fully conscious process and though some machines or computers can mimic human speech, they cannot interpret the meaning according to the context. Writing through computers we find proof for this. If you type deer in place of dear, it accepts without question. As a lady complained, when she types her name Dipti, it suggests modifications including dirty.
All life forms evolve inside the analog Conscious Sea that pervades everything, like the natural sea pervades coral, sea weed and fish. Structures form and perish – the sea is unaffected. Since it is analog like space and time and contains everything, it is called Brahman (Brhhattwaat and Brhhanattwaat) and Mahaan. Since it is present in the smallest of particles, it is called Anu. We are inside the sea, but being ignorant, are searching for the sea.
PROOF OF REBIRTH:
Due to perception of determinism, sequence, classification, universality of physical laws and causality, rebirth can be proved. The living organisms as well as inert objects are made out of the same constituent material in specific combinations. But there is a universal law that restricts groupings of the body matter of living beings to organic category. Thus, though scientists are searching for the role of signals from calcium ions in development of the brain, it can only be meaningful as an organic compound and not as inorganic calcium. There is a universal rule of causality that everything cannot produce everything. Thus, the birth of a baby cannot be random interaction of atoms, but has to be only by conscious beings after the causal body of sense organs and mind, with their ability to perceive happiness/pain, are acquired by the physical body (sambandhastu dehendriyabuddhivedanaabhih). But can we link the causal body (linga shareera) including mind of the new born to that of a previous birth?
While the cause and effect sequence have been established earlier and the effect of all actions are deterministic, freewill can change the projected outcome generating not only uncertainty, but also deterministic variety subject to universality of physical laws, which can be classified into different groups. But who determines the universal laws? If there is such an Agency (God?) and if causality operates universally, then what is the effect of death? Every action has invariably a determinate reaction that may materialize immediately (eating satisfies hunger) or after certain interval, when suitable conditions appear or reactions take place (taking medicine cures later). Though the reactions take place in the physical body, they are cognized by the causal body. Cognition can initiate reaction in physical body. If we see a snake and become afraid, the cause of fear (snake) is away from us, but the adrenalin flow shoots up within our body. The causal body is unable to initiate action without a physical body. Hence what does the causal body do when physical body is destroyed? There is no proof that it also is destroyed. Thus, it must seek a new physical body. In that case, the new body must exhibit symptoms of prior knowledge.
A new born child has to start learning everything starting with a blank slate. How do all new born babies know that if they cry, someone will look after their needs? How does it learn to suckle when the mother brings her breast near its mouth? Other children also show some intriguing behavior. For example, a rhino mother faints after giving birth. The new born child moves far away from the mother before she regains consciousness. The child returns only after its skin hardened just like hens laying eggs sitting on walls are not broken, as it is spongy at the beginning, which hardens immediately thereafter. Surprisingly, both the mother and the child rhinos recognize each other. This is done because the soft skin of the new born cannot tolerate the affectionate licking of the mother’s thorny tongue. How does the new born rhino know to move away immediately after birth? Since this identical perception is generated every time we look at a new born baby, it proves some prior to birth connection.
If deeds of past birth are like punishing one person for the sins of another, as some opine, what explains differential behavior among twins born to the same parents? Effect is always spatially related to the cause. Since causal body is the initiator and enjoyer of the result of actions; and since the effect cannot cease without being channelized, the causal body cannot be destroyed before such exhaustion (krhtahaanimakrhtaabhyagamashcha). The only conclusion is rebirth is real. There are much more, which will require a separate book.
Hari Aum.
