Battlestar Galactica an Epic?

June 18th, 2008

This was the opening of the original series, Battlestar Galactica in 1978. It was one of the greatest scifi show at that time. In those days, the story line already contains a few scientific spiritual ideas. Made all of us think and re-think about the "human origin".

The opening narration, spoken by Patrick Macnee, reads as follows:

"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. That they may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens..."

Facinating theory..

The series then re-born again in 2003-present. At first I did not like it, but as I continue watching the series one by one, this one has more of the spiritual science and also the "real human" side, where no one is a superhero, no one is perfect, they are all simply humans under a lot of stress. At a glance, this new version has a lot of violance and sex, not suitable for the minor age, not exactly a family tv series. However those are what we do at least most of us do in real life which are presented in that series through a story called "Battlestar Galactica". If you notice deeply on the story line, it's not about the action, shooting, killing, flying with a cool spacescraft.. It's about humanity and how they react under various of pressure. Sex, drugs, alcoholics, swearing, .. all in days life of the today's life, well not all. The series also reveals about the "Divine Greater Power" that rules over all living things. Again the red line is the same with the old series, about a journey of surviving last humans from another world trying to seek refuge to their "legendary planet called Earth".

This is the opening of the new Battlestar Galactica. I found it facinating as they use one of the "Hindu" mantra called "Gayatri Mantra" for their opening credits.

The Gayatri Mantra in IAST short version:

oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayāt

The meaning according to wikipedia:

William Quan Judge
"Unveil, O Thou who givest sustenance to the Universe, from whom all proceed, to whom all must return, that face of the True Sun now hidden by a vase of golden light, that we may see the truth and do our whole duty on our journey to thy sacred seat."

Kurma Purana, "freely translated" by Swami Vivekananda
"'We meditate on the glory of that Being who has produced this universe; may He enlighten our minds.' Om is joined to it at the beginning and the end."

Gayatri Pariwar
"O God, Thou art the giver of life, the remover of pain and sorrow, the bestower of happiness; O Creator of the Universe, may we receive Thy supreme, sin destroying light; may Thou guide our intellect in the right direction."

I can't say much about the new series as I believe it speak for it self. I would recommend people who has interest in spiritual science as well as open minded theory to watch this series, I'm not promoting, just sharing what I think to be one of the most 'reaslistic" scifi I've ever seen.

Some people put the whole series and season on rapidshare and other sharing sites. One of them is here. (good quality-no subtitle-format divx/avi)

Yes the series is violent, sex driven, mentally disturbing, .. all of the negative aspect of humanity also with a balance of the positive side of humanity; sacrifice, honor, respect, and that famous.. 'voice of the heart' . Very very twisting.

This is another clip from the series.

And these are a few of the new series soundtrack (including the remake of the old 1978 theme)

I 'm a Man

April 27th, 2008

I am not a good man or a bad man, I am just a man ~ Kwai Chang Caine - David Carradine

This is a very poetic simple words describing what being humans are all about. There are 2 universal rules that we sometimes don't really pay attention, it has been always been since the day the 1st day the law of physics exist. Positive and negative, we humans are also a part of that law

which makes each of us have that positive and negative in our human form. In Chinese, the Yin and the Yang will always be side by side at a balance. North opposite the South and as East opposite the West, each things has it opposite, low - high, dark - light, etc.

If a person wants to be a real bad man, that is impossible because the positive version of the person cannot be removed as it is only can be suppressed

If a person wants to be a real good man, that is also impossible as the negative version of the person cannot be removed as it is only can be suppressed

Each person has a good side and a bad side, depending on what the situation is effecting that person, either the good or the bad side will emerged, for example: your car was accidently crashed by another person's car. The good side of you will try to settle peacefully, the bad side of you will try to settle not so peacefully. Each of that will also generate more particles of positive and negative.

Let's make a scenario of "what if" using the above story:

Before you drive, you met this wonderful and beautiful lady ( and HOT ), the two of you had coffee together, then agreed on a date later on this week. After that you drive alone and you have a "happy thoughts" of the coming date. Suddenly a car hits you and made a scratch on your car. Your mood will make a difference on how you settle the problem.
Before you drive, you met this mean looking debt collector who has been asking you money for the past few days, and this morning you got bills on your mail. After that you drive alone and you have a "terrible thoughts" of the economy crisis. Suddenly a car hits you and made a scratch on your car. Your mood will make a difference on how you settle the problem.

Two things can generate four things, then the four can be eight and so on...

The 1st example can generate positive and negative particles. We don't need to say anything about the positive as it is obvious. But lets say you think " Ah.. car scratch can be fixed later, its not so expensive, but I'll pretend that this car is really-really important so I can ask him (the one who crashed) to pay me quite a sum of money to repair". Then you pretended to be so sad, and obviously you know what happen next

The 2nd example can also generate positive and negative particles. Obviously the power of the fist to the person who crashed will represent one of the negative particles. But what if you see.. that the driver of the car who crashed you was unconscious. So you take the driver to the hospital then out of nowhere you get a reward and a replacement cash to fix the car even to pay your debts and bills from the family of the driver who is actually a rich family.

A drug dealer, sells his drugs to everyone including kids, and uses the money to feed his family who doesn't know that he is a drug dealer. Yes its a "sinful money", but look at the positive and negative side from within the drug dealer. He knows what he's doing is bad, he even can kill for what he does but he knows he wont let his family starve.

These are just a few examples of many examples in real life with all of its complexity. Each stories can be different with many different outcomes and positive - negative particles.

Why can't we get rid of our negative side? well we are humans and we need both of our positive and negative sides. As in the law of physics, negative can result to a positive outcome, and so is the other way, positive can result to negative. Wisdom is also one of the characteristic of human, where we can use wisdom to put where negative and positive should live in our life. We can't get rid of our negative particles but that is also "No Excuse" for justifying what we do what we can do is to suppress our negative side.
