Full cosmology

[scout1]

Buddhist cosmology is the description of the shape and evolution of the Universe according to the Buddhist scriptures and commentaries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_cosmology
it is not intended to be a description of how ordinary humans perceive their world rather, it is the universe as seen through the divyacakṣus (Pāli: dibbacakkhu), the "divine eye" by which a Buddha or an arhat
who has cultivated this faculty can perceive all of the other worlds
and the beings arising (being born) and passing away (dying) within
them, and can tell from what state they have been reborn and into what state they will be reborn.
The cosmology has also been interpreted in a symbolical or allegorical sense (see Ten spiritual realms).

Practical, thats right. Thats one part. The other part, look at the whole scheme of things, the whole universe.





If you put these two together, thats the real nobility of human being.





also why we seek wisdom. look at this full cosmology, the whole scheme of universe, the whole picture.



To see the whole universe, the whole wisdom at the spot.. and how to act and why. Thats practical.

Nagualism is then - like how to travel in this Universe alive, or call it yoga, its a mere Navigation.



and also, how to take care of a being, because of this gateway of death.





why to limit oneself with some limited concepts this time as we have all the knowledge at hand.





we are mortals. hence the issue of death is practical one. i.e. what will you do with your being as you are alive.



You have the axis of nagualism in the whole scheme, in the Dharma.
