Trin

"The Trimurti (English: ‘three forms’; Sanskrit: त्रिमूर्ति ) is a concept in Hinduism "in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahmā the creator, Vishnu the maintainer or preserver, and Śhiva the destroyer or transformer,"[1][2] These three deities have been called "the Hindu triad" [3] or the "Great Trinity,",[4] often addressed as "Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwara." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimurtitrimūrti

-          Here we find a glimpse of the concept which till today has been hidden; at the core of our creation lies a trinity. 

"In Hinduism, Brahman (ब्रह्मन् ) is the one supreme, universal Spirit that is the origin and support of the phenomenal universe.[1] Brahman is sometimes referred to as the Absolute or Godhead[2] which is the Divine Ground[3] of the primordial Being Hiranyagarbha and all subsequent Creation" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmanbráhman

Hinduism tells us that Brahman is the 'Divine Ground' of the 'Primordial Being': "According to the Brahma Purana, he is the father of Mānu, and from Mānu all human beings are descended". Or: "The first person created in one of the religious or mythical accounts of creation". Creation meaning: ""Creationism" can also refer to creation myths, or to a concept about the origin of the soul.".

"Initially in ancient Vedic society, this position was achieved on the merits of a person's aptitude (Sam), conduct (Sam), and nature (Sam)."  - Cry 'uncle', three times, uncle Sam!

Aptitude, conduct and nature...

"Kshatriya (Sanskrit: क्षत्रिय, from Sanskrit: क्षत्र, ) or Kashtriya, meaning warrior, is one of the four varnas (social orders) in Hinduism" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kshatriya  kṣatrakṣatriya

"Varna refers to the categorization of the Hindu society by four castes, hypothesized by the Brahmins and their sacred texts. This quadruple division is not to be confused with Jati or even the much finer division of the contemporary caste system in India.[1] The four varnas, or chatur varna, are mentioned in ancient texts in the following (stratified) order, from top to bottom,[2]

Here we see one of the first and original evaluations of our human evolutionary path uttered before Jesus came along.  


It shows us where the battle takes place; on the one side we find soldiers and kings, on the other scholars, teachers and 'fire priests'. 

You see that superseeding our need for food and shelter (the Vaishyas: Agriculturists and merchants) and even far more removed from the "the Shudras: "Service providers and artisans" - "(Shudras) -assigned and expected role in post-Vedic North India was that of craftsmen and laborers"- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shudra

Hold this ancient valuation, definitions of early casts if you will, against our own, modern, society. You'll immediately see that at the bottom of Varna-list we find the so-called 'service providers'.

Who do we call service providers in our own modern European societies: Banks, insurance companies, health-insurance middle-men, home-loan providers, mobile phone operators, you name it. All they provide us with is 'services', we wouldn't die without them.

Immediately above in the Varna hierarchy we find;

·  the Vaishyas: Agriculturists and merchants " - These people provide more important stuff we need to survive. Vaishyas actually feed and clothe us. Shudra's claims to serve our existential needs, based on believe and superstition. Shudra's main benefactors are greed and fear. She, Shudra, only benefits when her clients believe that the material things they own need protection from theft, damage or destruction.

Our human history defines itself as the struggle between the two first Varna's: Between 'scholars, teachers and fire priests' ('fire priests' as in prophets, like our Abrahamic traditions tells us) and the Kshatriyas, Kings and soldiers. 

This 'eternal fight' between scholars, teachers and prophets vs kings and soldiers we see over and over again. Often disintegrating into scholars and teachers giving in to the soldiers of the kings. The mass murder of 'intellectuals' and other 'subversives' is part and parcel within any human society. Where-ever and whenever. 

At this moment in time, from my point of view, we live in a society that equates to 'the metaphorical dog taking of with the metaphorical bone, subversives and kings have been fighting about'. 

The banks took over our values while we were fighting either for power or equality.   

The Shudra's took over our moronic discourse and now we are all in debt to their speculation of values.

The only ones who kept toiling like nothing happened are "
·  the Vaishyas: Agriculturists and merchants". by which I mean the providers of basic human needs (i.e. life's necessities). They reside in us as a trinity.

Next to the Trimurti, a Hindu concept "in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahmā the creator, Vishnu the maintainer or preserver, and Śhiva the destroyer or transformer,"[1][2] These three deities have been called "the Hindu triad" [3] or the "Great Trinity", there is the concept of the three subtle basic components of sattva , raja, and tama or "The Gunas".

"Guṇa (Sanskrit: गुण) means 'string' or 'a single thread or strand of a cord or twine'. In more abstract uses, it may mean 'a subdivision, species, kind, quality', or an operational principle or tendency.[1]
In Samkhya philosophy, there are three major that serve as the fundamental operating principles or 'tendencies' of (universal nature) which are called: , , and . The three primary gunas are generally accepted to be associated with creation (rajas), preservation (sattva), and destruction (tamas) (see also Aum and Trimurti).[2] The entire creation and its process of evolution is carried out by these three major gunas"tamas guṇarajas guṇasattva guṇaprakṛtiguṇas

I highlighted the last part of the first sentence: operational principle or tendency. The three principles all living beings are blessed with is that when we do not feed we'll grow hungry (feel pain after pleasure) and when we do achieve feeding, fear will accompany our pain and pleasure (hunger/lust) paradigm.

I found this stat:


Sattva is when we achieve only doing those things we need for our immediate survival or when society needs stability in changing times. Hunger or pain is here the equivalent.

Raja; action and passion (read: pleasure, lust, courage and greed) equals the other side of hunger and pain. Without which neither could be experienced.

Tama: or as it says: Ignorance and Inertia. Ignorance stands for the third force emanating from the Tao ( as read in verse 42 from the "Tao Tse King"). That which we do not know, we fear. Tama is the equivalent of fear when placed within the 'Three subtle basic components of creation'.  

But they're not so subtle anymore: we eat because if we don't it hurts. When we eat timely no pain will occur because hunger doesn't get the time to develop. Lust is where we live without pain. But we know both; pain and pleasure. only because of this we know fear, completing the trinity of Life's consciousness.
