The Vedic Epiphany: Key to the Mystery of Creation
by Bruce Burger, author, “Esoteric Anatomy: The Body as Consciousness”

Author and founder of Heartwood Institute will teach a very special 2-week “Energy Medicine Hands-On” training at the Ananda Institute of Alternative Living college from November 3-15, 2008. Space is limited.

The vedic epiphany reveals that the world is the self-sacrifice of the creator...God becomes the world...An omnipresent intelligence expresses its creative potency through the creation. In the Vedic revelation, God does not create the world…God becomes the world.

Western religion and science offer a deist paradigm. In deist philosophies, God lies outside creation. The Vedic worldview is profoundly different; here the world is the self-sacrifice of the creator. The world is God. All creation is sacred. To know thy self, is to know God.

The World is Music:
The vedas reveal that the world is sung into being. An unfathomable intelligence, conceives of a goddess...who sings the world into creation. Creation is vibrating as an expression of ultimate intelligence, ultimate wisdom, ultimate love... in a universal harmony of praise.

The Goddess Saraswati is the personification of this mystery, the embodiment of divine creative intelligence. Her vehicle is the swan...the highest flying bird, which symbolizes the breath of life. The Great Mystery of life, is carried on the breath.

Saraswati’s celestial instrument is the vina, which symbolizes creation. Thus we have Ultimate Intelligence, carried on the breath of life, playing the music of creation.

For millennium musical instruments were often fashioned of the guts and hides of animals. For these guts and hides, resonated most profoundly with the mystery of music and the winds that carried these sounds to the heart and mind.

There is no musical instrument more perfect than the human body. Indeed the human body... like all of nature... is a musical instrument. The ancients understood this.

The latin word for breath is spiritus. It is Spiritus that plays the instrument of nature. As we breathe the tissue of our bodies are stretched by the act of breathing in a cycle of atunement to nature and the cosmos. On cellular and molecular levels the tissues stretches to modulate it’s musical pitch. As we breath there is a lengthening of the tissue to the keynote of resonance that, cross culturally and trans-historically, the ancients called the Air element. Thus through the keynote Air, life force stepped down from the subtle universal elements into embodiment. Then in quantum fashion the inhalation ballooned the tissue into the radiant keynote of the creative potency of the solar Fire element. Next in the cycle of breath is a still- point, where inner and outer forces came into balance at the Earth element. Then the tissue contracts into resonance with the lunar keynote of the Water element. Nature is a fabric of ultrasonic resonance, attuned to the keynotes of: Earth, solidity; Water, the resonating fluid medium for life force; Fire, the functioning of creative intelligence; Air the feedback process which is the essence of intelligence; and Ether which modulates sacred space between the subtle universal elements of the cosmos and the material elements of nature.

All of nature is vibrating in a life giving state of praise attuned to the voice of the Goddess Saraswati singing the holy word... singing the music of creation. Saraswati means essence of Self. This understanding is a key to understanding the great mystery of life force energy. In Polarity Therapy we work with the body and nature through this ancient epiphany of the world as music. Our approach to energy healing is defined by a constant intention to address the Soul...the animating intelligence in the body... holistically, through hands-on bodywork, healing diet, vitalizing movement and liberating insight into the unity and sacredness of all life.
