CHAPTER XV
readx;? In track 82, "there is another thing, in the body", implying that there is a "me" within the body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info "I" is created by the "other", and the "other" has an inseparable relationship with the "me", that is, the relationship between the "Brahma" and the "me" later. In the Rigveda, the concepts of Brahmana and "I" have not yet been formed, but the rudiments of these two concepts are clearly reflected in several divine comedies, especially in the Divine Comedy "Song of the Primordial People".
Proto-Human Theory:
This is the theory put forward in the 90th Song of the 10th volume of the Rigveda. This theory developed the "original man" from the "born master" of one god, and combined the original person and the original person into one, believing that the original person is the body and the original person is used, and the two are one and two, two and one, and while recognizing the absolute essence of the original person, that is, the original person, it gives the original person the characteristics of omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Verses 1 and 2 of the song say:
The god of the original man, subtly appeared,
A thousand heads and a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet;
Covering the earth, up and down in four dimensions;
Stand majestically, ten fingers away.
But this is the original man, who is all things,
Both the past and the future;
Only this primordial man, the Lord of the Immortals,
Enjoy the sacrifice, sublimate the outside.
......
This is an objective representation of the original man in terms of space and time. Space and time are not objective realities, but they are contained in the original person and embodied outside the original person, so space and time do not matter from the original person, and the so-called space and time are just the appearance of the original person.
The twelfth verse of the song says:
The mouth of the primordial man, giving birth to Brahmins;
His arms, the long Kshatriya;
His legs produce Vaishya;
His feet, out of the sudra.
This verse shows that the primordial man not only appeared in the objective world, but also appeared as the ancestor of human life. Vedic philosophers believe that human beings are generally divided into four castes (four stages): Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras, the first three castes are born from the mouth, arms, and legs of the primordial people, and are more noble, and the latter caste is from the feet of the primordial people, so they are relatively low. This hymn is the first written record of caste division in Indian history. It reflects the near-completion of India's transition from a primitive commune society to a slave society. Philosophically, it also implies that the primordial self is the greater self, and the person produced by the primordial man is the lesser self; the greater self and the smaller self are different in form, but the two are of the same origin, and the greater self and the smaller self are separated from each other, and they are one and two. The theory of the union of the living master and the original human is the germ of the philosophical idea of "Brahman-self-oneness" after the Vedas. The original theory is a theoretical model of objective idealism.
Seed Theory:
The theory of proto-man points out that human beings are essentially the same as proto-humans, but does not deal with how human consciousness arises. Another Vedic philosopher made an important addition to this question, stating that human consciousness arises from the first thought. The first thought is also the first consciousness, or "seed awareness." The Rig Veda, Volume 10, Song 129, "There is a Turning Spirit", verse 4 says:
The first sprout of desire, into the other,
Snamana, the first kind of consciousness.
......
In this verse, the Vedic philosophers affirm that human consciousness arises from spiritual factors. "Desire" is the spirit, "Bunai" means within the womb, "Mana" is consciousness, and "the first consciousness" means that this consciousness is the seed of consciousness. The seed knower is the basis of the subjective world, from which all conscious activities or mental phenomena arise. This view was later extended to the extreme of Epistemism, which held that the objective world also appeared according to it, and developed "desire" into "ignorance". The 12 causes and conditions of primitive Buddhist philosophy, the Mahayana Buddhist system of the Eight Consciousnesses, the 25 Noble Truths of Number Theory, the Vedanta Ignorant Illusion, the Four Positions and the Five Selfs are all developments and systems of this theory.
Element Theory:
According to the Rigveda, the universe originates from the five elements of matter, namely earth, water, fire, wind, and air. Some Vedic philosophers hold the "original water theory", that is, they believe that the universe originates from water, while some Vedic philosophers believe that all things are born by the combination of water, fire and other elements, and that water and natural energy mate to form the "womb" of the universe. This is a naïve materialist idea with a strong sense of romanticism. In verse 6 of Song 129, it is clearly stated: "The world comes first, and the heavens rise later." It means that the world is material, the heavens are spiritual, and there is matter first, and then spirit. These naïve materialist ideas are the culinates of post-Vedic materialist philosophy.
Dialectical Thinking:
In their quest for the primordial nature of the universe, Vedic philosophers also observed the paradoxical phenomenon of things coming and going, coming and going, and seeing that things are constantly moving and changing. At the same time, they also see that things not only have a contradictory side, but also a unified side. Vedic philosophers proposed a model of "unity of being and non-being": "Nothing is neither there is nor there is".
This model can be interpreted in two ways: 1. Logically, "existence and non-existence" are contradictions, and "non-existence and non-nothingness" are the negation of contradictions, so as to achieve the unity of the two. 2 According to ontology, "existence and non-existence" are phenomena, "non-existence and non-nothingness" are ontology, and "existence and non-existence" are non-real, and when they return to the ontology, there is only one identity and nothing else. There is a certain dialectical element to this model.
In addition, other important theories of Indian philosophy, such as karma, reincarnation, liberation, dharma, etc., can be found in the Rigveda, although they have not yet been concretely formed.
"Sumerian King Table": "The kingship descended from heaven, and the kingship was in Eredu, and Arulim was the king of Eredu." ”
In 4120 BC, some of the yellow people, who were vassals of the Harappan civilization, understood the horror of forbidden weapons, so when they saw the nuclear explosion, they began to sail along the coastline of the Indian Ocean along the coastline of the Indian Ocean, leaving the Indus Valley and migrating westward.
Its leader, Arulim, was a minister of a certain monarch of the Harappan civilization. Along the coastline, into the Persian Gulf, tracing the river, on the south bank of the Euphrates, near Kuwait, the first settlements were established in conjunction with the local indigenous people. It was located west of present-day Basra, on the south bank of the Euphrates, not far southwest of the ruins of your. They themselves called it "the place of might", and later generations called it Eredu. They called themselves "black-headed people", but later some people referred to these black-haired yellow people as Sumerians.
Mesopotamia, also known as the Valley of the Two Rivers. In a broad sense, it refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, reaching the Zagros Mountains in the east, the Syrian desert in the west, the Persian Gulf in the south, and the Taurus Mountains in the north. It is mountainous in the north, passing through grasslands and plains in the south to the swampy delta of two rivers in the south. In a narrow sense, it refers only to the area between two rivers.
