Vimanas cont'd.

In the Sanskrit Samarangana Sutradhara, it is written: Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky. The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth.

The Hakatha (Laws of the Babylonians) states quite unambiguously: The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from 'those from upon high'. We received it from them as a means of saving many lives.

More fantastic still is the information given in the ancient Chaldean work, The Sifrala, which contains over one hundred pages of technical details on building a flying machine. It contains words which translate as graphite rod, copper coils, crystal indicator, vibrating spheres, stable angles, etc.

‘There is no time. There never was.”
Many scholars, especially of the Hindu faith, are entirely satisfied that these ancient airplanes existed and the reams of detailed material which refers to their use in war and leisure, and their manner of being constructed is adequate evidence for them to accept that indeed man has visited the skies before this age.

Could it be that there is truly nothing new under the sun as to man’s relationship to the one God and that the individuals of each generation will experience their lives within the context of their culture and as fully as that culture will permit? What we record as history is really just so much marking down the minutiae of our unenlightened lives. It would appear, if you accept the theory that man has always been man, that as a human environment we are stagnating, preoccupied with our efforts to pose as God, or to usurp the personality of the infinite. Could it be that our souls have managed to reappear in an era where spiritual existence is obscured, as we attempt to live under the mudline? Not such an auspicious inheritance.

BUILT FOR JOY
Our human bodies are inclined to facilitate joy and experiencing joy enlivens and heals us. But in this state of constant denial, in this persistent effort to control life and appear greater than others, the individual erodes his faculty for joy.
