What's next for you? What's next for me, my friend, is to prepare myself to enter into the

0:10.0

life beyond this one, to enter into the next phase of life. Today, we're honoring the legacy of Wolfgang Smith, who recently passed away at the age of 94.

0:25.7

As you may know, I had the privilege of spending a few nights with Wolfgang approximately one year ago,

0:32.0

during which we had several hours of conversation. Seven of those hours were recorded and put into

0:37.4

podcast form, which

0:38.6

you can find in the description. In this video, you'll see a compilation of some of my favorite

0:43.1

moments with the scientist, mathematician, and physicist Wolfgang Smith. You will be missed.

0:53.5

The idea of the tripartite cosmos in which the highest level is beyond space and time, this is the crux of the matter.

1:06.4

Well, this is a kind of eternity, but it needs to be distinguished from the eternity of religion.

1:17.0

The eternity of the, for example, the eternity which the Christian speaks of when he says that God is eternal and heaven is eternal.

1:31.9

So eternity in that sense is more than the of eternity because. E. E. E. E. E.T.E.T. Because actually, one of the crucial ways in which Christianity differs

from the Vedic teaching is that the Vedic teaching regards the cosmos as cyclic.

2:03.8

It goes on and on like a sign curve that has no beginning and no end.

2:11.5

And the Christian cosmology is radically different because it is integral to the Christian tradition

2:26.2

that at the second coming of Christ, which no man knows the day and the hour.

2:36.7

The cosmos in its entirety will be destroyed.

2:43.5

So the difference between the Vedic outlook and the Christian is that in the Vedic outlook, the cosmos has no end in both senses,

2:55.8

in the sense of a purpose and end in the sense of a termination.

3:03.1

So in the Vedic way of looking at the cosmos, there's neither a purpose.

3:14.4

Because the only answer the Vedic guru could give to the question,

3:22.9

what is the purpose of the cosmos based on?

3:33.0

The Vedic spiritual practice tries essentially to get out of this cosmos because the Vedic wisdom says this is not God,
