The universe is a living organism. It has no laws, only habits. This is the great insight of Buddhist cosmology. To this is added another, derived from Vedic thought and inherited by Sakhya Buddhism: the mind is not consciousness. Nature is made of the subtle matter of the mind, an extended mind that constantly dialogues with a consciousness that permeates everything. This book offers a journey through these cosmologies of India. In the Vedic era, the primordial universe is pure sound, the precursor of light. A world to be known through the voices of those who have learned to listen to its secrets. In Sakhya Buddhism, the universe is filled with hidden witnesses whom nature seeks to please. Consciousness, pure and without content, allows itself to be seduced by nature. For Buddhism, space is not distributed by forces like gravity, but by the eccentricities of psychic life.
