Cosmic Mail Parent

The Chinese looks upon the universe as an organism
 As we shall subsequently see
 But the dramatic idea is basic to Hinduism
 Now you could speak about Hinduism on two levels at least
 One I will call the the metaphysical level
 And the other the mythological level
 If you speak on the metaphysical level
 You can speak only in negative language
 You can say what the divine the ultimate reality is not
 If you speak on the mythological level
 You may speak of what the divine is like
 Because myth
 Is not a falsehood as one uses the word in a sophisticated way
 A myth is an image
 A concrete image
 In terms of which Man makes sense of the world
 Which Man makes sense of the world
 Thus, the idea of God the father
 Or God the maker
 Is a myth
 Cause it's an image
 Cause it's an image
 And Christian theologians distinguish equally
 Between two kinds of theological language
 Which are respectively called
 Cataphatic and apophatic
 Apophatic language is negative
 As when we say God is infinite
 And eternal
 Cataphatic language is mythological as when we say
 God the Father
 God is love
 Nor the positive designation
 We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
 But that he is analogous with the father
 We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
 But that he is analogous with the father
 We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
 But that he is analogous with the father
 So, with Hinduism
 So, with Hinduism
 What I'm going to speak to you first of all
 Is the mythological language of Hinduism
 The idea of the universe as the big act
 The universe is God playing hide and seek
 With himself
 For God is thought off fundamentally to the Hindu
 As the self
 THE self
 The cosmic eye
