Noetic Science, or Noetics, is a new cutting-edge discipline that studies the physics behind psychology and the science behind ancient texts and scriptures. The Institute of Noetic Sciences is a non-profit research organization founded by astronaut and Noetic scientist Edgar Mitchell, part of the Apollo Mission. Noetics studies concepts such as yoga, consciousness, intellectual capability and thoughts and the mind. Noetic Science made fame when featured in Dan Brown's fifth novel, The Lost Symbol, and is now known to many science nerds and physicists alike.
The Bhagavad Gita is a true hoard of information on Noetics.
Here, therefore, is my rendering of the Bhagavad Gita, an unexpected reinterpretation:
Krishna gazed at Arjuna, his eyes sparkling.
"Yes, Arjuna?" Krishna prompted.
A teardrop emerged from Arjuna's eye. His fist was gripping a bow. The bow read: Gandiva.
Gandiva, the dark bow of the great sage Nara himself, one of the two fragments forged from Kodanda.
He dropped Gandiva.
"Why?" Krishna demanded.
"My kin...Bhisma, the Grandsire, Dron and Kripa, my teachers, Duryodhana, Dussasan, Vikarnan and the rest of my cousins...I cannot fight those I love. When I look at the army, I remember my calling Bhisma 'Father', my joys with Dron and Kripa, my playtime with Kritavarman, who is your own cousin...it is impossible to fight them, Krishna," Arjuna said.
Krishna was patient as ever, listening.
Then, he replied, "Arjuna, this war is not to curb Dharma Yudhisthir's ambition...nay, he has no ambition at all to curb. This war is to preserve our way of life, and, above all, the greater good. Remember, Arjuna, you are gods, gods fighting a war. And gods must not stray from the path of duty."
"Gods? We are mere men, Krishna. We are men who worship gods!" Arjuna replied.
"Yes, we are living beings, Arjuna, and that is what makes us gods."
"But...gods are myth! There is no proof as to whether they exist or not! And we cannot perform miracles," Arjuna added skeptically.
"Listen, Arjuna. When I say you are capable of cooking, I am not lying. You are capable...you just need to manifest that existent capability with practice. Our very thoughts have mass, and exert minuscule amounts of gravity. Hence, this can have an actual physical impact on the actual world. You must have seen yogis, meditating on the Great White Mountains - why, your grandfather, Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa, himself is one...and he is now above one-hundred-and-twenty-five years old. How is it possible? The power of the mind, which is manas, atman and prana together, creates a physical veil of weblike tissue in his mind. This allows longer lives due to production of cells. You have heard of ojas or soma? The Elixir of Immortality is a metaphor for the rare brain secretion. The entangled thoughts create the mind, a very physical substance. Multiplied minds multiply energy exponentially; two minds are many, many times greater than one. That is your atman. Matter, energy, antimatter, anti-energy, dark matter, dark energy, time, the balance...they are all often part or products of the mind. This is realization. All life forms know everything there is...it is just locked within the barriers of the mind, the barriers of the marshy thickets of memory. Hence, I am the knowledge; so are you. The knowledge lies within us, and forms existence itself, for thoughts are comprised of assumptions, opinions, theories, association and visualization, all forms of knowledge. And the mind is knowledge. I am the knowledge.
"The passage of time goes on eternally. Time, metaphorically speaking, is death, razer of realms. Time is interlinked with the balance, and can be seen as an actual physical force that absorbs worlds as a black hole uses gravity to suck in any form of matter, energy, antimatter or anti-energy. Time is Vishnu. Vishnu, or Vasudeva Narayana, weaver of illusions, is a person who fights for his way of life to prevail for the sake of overall righteousness. Morality is a subtle thing; morality is never definitive. Extremes such as good and evil, right and wrong, are nonexistent... Morality is subjective to time. And we are Vishnu. To create, we often need to destroy. I am Vishnu, destroyer of worlds. I am Time, destroyer of dimensions, waster of worlds, destroyer of dimensions, descending from eternity to raze all realms; except those who fight for the side in which subjective morality is present, none in any war, none in the infinite cosmos shall be spared. Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds; I shall engage those against my way of life, as for that I am come. So shall you. I am an illusion, as are the things I have done, and yet I am also weaver of illusions. I am the herder of cows, Govinda. As Govinda, I restore order from chaos. Great scion of the Bharata race, whenever subjective morality is threatened, Vishnu shall restore order from chaos. I am Vishnu, so are you. I am the light. I am the Primordial Being, Existence itself, as Panchali is Sri.
"I am Brahman, the multiverse itself. So are you. Aham Brahmasmi, Tat Tvam Asi. Each blazing fire, the soma or ojas, the focus, concentration and power within meditation; that blazing fire that sparks within us as ideas and thoughts, even mere fragments of imagination thrust out as opinions from our vast, complicated, intricate mind - I am that, as well as the nature itself, the force of the earth. So are you.
"What they did to Panchali Draupadi was unrighteous. It was morally incorrect. When I, the cunning, scheming, ruthless Krishna...when you, the proud, vain Arjuna...when the foolish Yudhisthir...when we refused to see reason, Sri descended upon earth as Panchali to separate right from wrong in this present era.
"That is why you must fight. Pick up your bow, and perform your duty. Be the ideal one. For Panchali Draupadi."
