In other words, while you are thinking that the GB idea is "scientific
" and an ancient religion Buddhism or Hinduism must be primitive, old
information, you actually don't realize that to a real, experiential
Buddhist, such terms like GB or using a scientific reductionistic or
numerical approach, is laughably primitive to someone who has really
studied and practiced Buddhism.
(Saying buddhism is "a subset of the Global Brain," is walking on thin
ice. There is a Karmic debt to pay and the great benefit is
inestimable. Without appreciation, people are vile and they get what
they deserve. The karma of persecuting and crucifying buddhas--you
are included in. This is planet idiotic-land. Like a prisonhouse.
Either you are one of those who persecuted buddhas and bodhisattvas
and never expiated the karma, or you have already renounced such silly
inner errors and are practicing in the lifestate known as bodhisattva
and fulfilling a long held vow extending back into infinity. One life
is worth the entire universe, slighting it one slights themselves.)
This is why Einstein said:
“What humanity owes to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus
ranks for me higher than all the achievements of the enquiring and
constructive mind."
The whole quote:
"Let us not forget that human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead
humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to
place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the
discoverers of objective truth. What humanity owes to personalities
like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus ranks for me higher than all the
achievements of the enquiring and constructive mind.
What these blessed men have given us we must guard and try to keep
alive with all our strength if humanity is not to lose its dignity,
the security of its existence, and its joy in living. "….

“The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the
sensation of the mystical. It is the source of all true science. He to
whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand
rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to
us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the
most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in
their primitive forms — this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center
of true religion.”
and,
“A human being is part of the whole that we call the universe, a part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings, as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical
illusion of his consciousness. This illusion is a prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for only the
few people nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
beings and all of nature.”
and
“The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which
he has obtained liberation from the self.”
Everything Einstein wrote and said as above, is essentially the real
Buddhist attitude. Einstein was well versed in Buddhism and Religion
in general and his mind truly explored the inner and outer. He
predicted a time when the religion would guide science. He used
Buddhism as the example because it had already broken everything down
in a scientific manner as only an adjunct to practice and stressed
personal proof through actual experience---not theory. Same as real
Buddhism, His own theoretical revelations and formulas were a result
of experiential awakening.
But when you bas it on only a numerical approach, there is no
corresponding betterment of lifestate, beyond the state of self-
absorption. (Pratyekabuddha) So theory has a limit--it keeps one in
the life states of learning and absorption and then more prone to the
lower lifestates of rapture, tranquility, anger, animality, hunger and
hellish misery.
We are already the Et's.
