TULSI-PRAJNA
Omega point, the innermost centricity of the memory field, is the birth-place of the new Man, who is the inheritor of the planet and the cosmos. This Omega man points to the birth of the new man and his new world order. He is the symbol of the apocalyptic vision Jung paints in his Answer to Hiob, the second coming of the Christ for uniting with his eternal bride of the eternal city, not Rome, Moscow nor Washington, but the true city upon the Hill, the New Jerusalem Here at this eternal Jerusalem there is no Jew and Muslim and Christian fighting for an earthly City no Hindu and Musselman clashing for a worldly Ayodhya.
The dark recesses of human Ego is overwhelmed by the light of Consciousness, the "I" vanishes in the common "We"--we, the People of the World. Man shall thus be the inheritor of both the meso-cosmos and the meta-cosmos, and the spirit of Man shall triumph at the Omega Point of the evolution and the Self.
Illusion of the rope seen as serpent
When there is light in human hearts and the Enlightened are able to see that the mesocosmos of our sense experience was but Samsara, i.e., the creation of the finite mind, like the waves upon the sea, which are nothing but water, and nothing more than the mere construction of our differentiating mind. As we walk in the twilight, the Vedanta teaches us, we may take a piece of ros on our path for a serpent, and pull back our leg in a state of fright. But when the light comes on our path-the light of the Self, the Tao- we see the truth, the truth of the rope, and are freed of the fright.
Like the twilight walker who saw the rope as the serpent, the Ego, without proper light of the Self, sees its unalterable death and extinction, and is frightened, and clings to all substitute pleasures. But in the light of the Tao we see the illusion of the death as the superimposition of the illusion of Samsara. For death
