He didn't seem to recognize that these descriptions were an amalgam of two different orders of perception. One order was coarse physical materiality and the other was more subtle, non-physical "matter". We don't possess the conceptual constructes anymore to fit it all together.
Originally, those with a slightly more subtle perception could directly perceive dvipa-s and the various sagara-s surrounding them that constituted the spaces which structured the subtle solar system (i.e. the multilayered brahmanda.) The old yogis combined the two levels of perception into a single 3D map although neither level is actually perceptable from within the other. ........................................................................\ .......... --- In [email protected], "John" <jr_esq@...> wrote: > > There are some people, including Srila Prabhupada, who think that the moon landing was a hoax. FWIW, Prabhupada thought that the Moon was further away than the Sun. He also thought that there are spiritual beings and water on the Moon. As such, in vedic literature, the Moon is the significator of soma and abundance here on Earth. > > >
