      The cathedral, the house and the hut...

      The entire cosmos consists of “Adhamma”. In this cosmos are that “Kama Loka”, that “Rupa Loka” and that “Arupa Loka”. These three realms are also permeated by that “Nama”.

      Imagine a huge three-tiered cathedral, built from bricks. On the ground floor is the “Kama Loka” divided into 11 areas, where people, animals and “Devas” also live. On the second level, the “Rupa Loka” with 16 areas, live the “Brahmas” and on the last level, the “Arupa Loka” with 4 areas, live the “Arupāvacara Brahmās”.

      Humans live in the middle of this cathedral/cosmos with all 28 types of “rupa” and enjoy it because it seems to offer so many beautiful sensory pleasures. The “devas” live in rarefied matter a little below, practically below, but still using the same space. The “Brahma” realm, except the “Asañña” realm, is in even more rarefied matter, with 23 types of “rupa” even further below, but where the variety is 96% higher than in that “Kama Loka”. The “Asañña realm” has 17 types of “rupa” and forms that bordering and Delimiting “Rupa Loka”. Bordered by “Ākāsa dhātu” (space element). Still below this, permeating the whole cathedral, is that “Arupa Loka”, without matter, with the Transcendent cooled, sleeping, “Hadaya Vatthu”. This “Hadaya Vatthu” forms with the five “(Pasāda) Rupa” on one side and the “Pancupadanakkhandha” in the “Nama Loka” on the other side, the transcendent “entity MIND”.

      And what does the human being who feels so elevated with his knowledge and today’s science try to do? He takes a brick from the huge cathedral and cuts the stone into small pieces, making it smaller and smaller, down to the quantum level. To find out with what architecture or natural laws this cathedral was built. Instead of following the four-step or eight-step path. This path is not a path of movement or spatial change. It is the cultivation of a complex thought (citta) that consists of a fourfold unity and is called satipaṭṭhāna.

      This “entity Mind” has been in this constellation for an infinite time and is the basis for thoughts (Citta). When this entity awakens again from its metastable phase at the top position of the “Arupa Loka”, it creates consciousness and at the same time the “Suddhāṭṭhaka”, which enters the “Rupa” realm. Now this is called the “entity Nama Rupa ” and is bound to the cosmos. Which of the four cosmos depends on the last thought that was cultivated. Only “Buddha Dhamma” offers the recipe to leave this cathedral via four steps.

      How could one imagine a complex thought? Imagine an indigenous person who lives in the Amazon or on an island and has never seen a house. But a hut! This indigenous person would know exactly that this hut would have a room for eating, sleeping and staying with a roof, walls and an entrance. A stored thought with “Rupa, Vedana, Saññā, Sankahra, Viññāṇa” about this hut would therefore contain all this data in a “saññā” about the hut.

      A complex thought (citta) has as its substratum “Pancupadanakkhandha” with thousands of “saññā” and the last thought of a terminating life is a “citta vithi” [(atita bhavaṅga (AB), bhavaṅga calana (BC), bhavaṅga upaccheda (BU), pañcadvārāvajjana (PD), cakkhu viññāṇa (CV), sampaṭiccana (Sam), santirana (San), votthapana (V), J J J J J J (Cuti) J (Paṭisandhi), T, T.)] and is called by its sequence as Cuti- paṭisandhi citta. Here I abbreviate; With the death of the old “Hadaya Vatthu”, the “kammic energy” creates a new “Hadaya Vatthu” corresponding to the registered “Gati”. This ascending process is called “viññāṇa paṭisandhi”.

      An even more complex idea of a hut, would be a house. This house would have several rooms, one each for eating, sleeping, working, playing and staying, or even several rooms for sleeping and a roof, walls, windows and an entrance. These two dwellings would be known “name” and distinguishable by being designated by names.

      This complex viññāṇa paṭisandhi will complete the next bhava and make us take birth in the cosmos if the remaining conditions(paccaya) are present.<br /><br /><br />
      This elevation of a thought(citta) through “PS” with saññā, sankhara, viññāṇa leading to taking birth(jati) which positions Rupa in the cosmos/cathedral is based on coefficients. These coefficients condition the object human being.

      The thought (citta) about cathedral/cosmos is even more complex and is a partial object for the “entity mind” to grasp a tendency (bhava) which conditions its blueprint in the form of a “gandhabba” and “kamma bija”. For example, a direct birth for “Brahma” or “Deva”, or a cell with “RNA/DNA” for animal or human. This blueprint, in my opinion, is based on a “citta” (thought) which has a name like human, which has a huge “coefficient” which conditions a “vector” which conditions a “tensor” and then a field, scalar field which then becomes a “superposition” in space.

      The “Arupa Loka” has existed in our cosmos for infinite rebirths. The “Rupa Loka” appeared after well over 20 billion years of absolute vacuum. The “Kama Loka” appeared again later and has now existed for 15 billion years. After the formation of the “Rupa Loka”, man reappears as “Brahma” with the formation of “Mount Sineru”. This “Mount Sineru” then forms the basis for our present-day EARTH. Now man begins his journey downwards from “Brahma” via “Deva” to man, condensing matter/rupa fields in the process. Fields such as the bone field, muscle field, lung field, gall field, liver field, eye field, tongue field, brain field, etc. … These fields become scalar fields and “superpositions” in space. These “superpositionssuperpositions” in space arise from “names” and thoughts (citta) and generate information processing downwards through its structure, to the “Hadaya Vatthu”. This processing is attributed to “saññā” and is an innate, “DNA”-based sense for the distorted evaluation/description of sensory experiences that is built into the human body.

      In “QFT”, separate superpositions can arise through the existence of different fields, topological separation, temporal evolution, quantum entanglement and measurements. These mechanisms show the flexibility and complexity of quantum effects in quantum field theory and the quantum mechanical description of reality. We are thus collections of “superpositions” in “R3” that come into contact with interactions in “R3” based on “Pancakkhandha”. If they correspond to our Gati, we transform the object from “nimitta” to “ārammana” with a complex coefficient and get a false/distorted “kāma saññā”.

      Looking backwards, an external object is present in space through interactions based on the laws of Pancakkhandha. Every living entity in the “kāma loka” from bacteria, animals to humans, receives a different false/distorted “kāma saññā” for sensory inputs. Although all living entities in the “Kama Loka” have found the same initial conditions in the form of “RNA/DNA”. This is an indication that the blueprint exists further down in the form of a “Gandhabba”.

      Rupa loka Brahmās receive a false/distorted “jhānic saññā” and “Arupa loka Brahmās” receive a false/distorted “arupa samāpatti saññā”. The “saññā” is defined by the “Bhava” and “Loka” stages and these are two different factors. The “Bhava” factor is determined by the “Gati” accumulated in countless “PS cycles”, which determines, among other things, the innate senses in order to find one’s way in the world that will be determined by the accumulated “kamma Vipaka” and to optimize survival. The “Loka” stage is determined by the accumulated “kamma” and “Kilesa”, which are also responsible for the clarity of the “mind”.

      An adult human has countless “saññā”, which belong to the category of mental factors (Cetasika) and thus form a network with very many coefficients. An important aspect in these relationships with the “ārammana” is “vedana” (feelings). Feelings are crucial for the classification of “saññā” by “tanha”. “Vedana” classifies “saññā” according to its desirability (tanha), into positivity vs. negativity, arousal or neutral. The neutral feeling usually falls into the good category.

      A “saññā” in the form of a storage “saññākkhandho” is a perception of an object which is born anew but is compared with the mental factors through “Pancupadanakkhandha”. I understand this comparison as a Transcendental Aggregate or Transcendental Testing Tool which was created with “Pancupadanakkhandha”. This too is based on a network of coefficients, with saññākkhandha, sankharakkhandha and viññāṇakkhandha.

      According to recent studies, babies have receptors on their skin in the areas where small hairs are found. These receptors are able to send signals to the brain and thus influence hormone production and regulation. This is also a “saññā” that is also connected to vedana.

      Conclusion: The material qualities of external objects in our cathedral/cosmos are conditioned by the aggregate “Pancakkhandha” and are subject to defilement. Whoever removes the defilement/attachments is freed from the grip of the cathedral/cosmos. Our perception of these external objects is conditioned by three types of “Saññā”; (i) An innate sense (like the five senses and its processing/body-Gandhabba); (ii) A mental test device made by the “entity Mind” with the three aggregates which gives false data and is based on “Pancupadanakkhandha” (record/past). (iii) and an “innate sense” to find one’s way in the world to optimize survival (sense of orientation etc.)

      P.S. I wrote down a few thoughts for myself and thought I would share them with you. Don’t take it too seriously, but maybe there are some foods for thought in there.

      Thank you for sharing. 🙏

      Is it not perhaps much better if you happen to be the son of the owner of the cathedral? Then you can go anywhere you want at any time for any amount of time. You have no responsibilities, no worries, no fears; because your father takes very good care of you and he’s the owner of the cathedral. You don’t have to understand anything about the cathedral because if you really have a question, you can just ask your father, but actually there is no reason to ask.

      Hello Hugo Zyl,

      I happen to have the BEST father!

      But this father you are talking about makes us sit in the basement (Niraya) most of the time anyway because we have used the three SAN’s too much. I will pass😉
