Professor Vipin Gupta’s Metaphysics Digs Deep Into Mother Nature
In three just published successive books, “What Is Divine Energy,” “What Is Present Reality,” and “Is Present Reality,” Dr Vipin Gupta challenges the view that the Eastern wisdom, developed over thousands of years before the advent of the modern era, has little scientific value. In an interview for this story, he noted “even if the present reality is one where everybody believes that the Eastern cultural wisdom has little scientific value, once people become free of the bounds on their rationality inherited from the past, the future reality need not be the same.” Vipin Gupta is the professor of sensible management and appropriate science at the California State University San Bernardino. He has a Ph.D. in managerial science and applied economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is known for his work on culture, leadership, and strategic management. His latest works, named the Vastly Integrated Processes Inside Nature series, are an in-depth investigation into the hidden dimension of Mother Nature. In the first book of the series, What Is Divine Energy, Dr Gupta investigates the cell as a unit of life. He breaks the cell’s development into thirty-three phases, in symmetry with thirty-three categories of deities identified in ancient Indian literature. He systematically explains each phase, showing how during the first eight phases, a cell produces thirty-six Eukaryotic initiation factors. It releases thirty in the form of the Thymine-Cytosine-Guanine-Adenine rich Pumilio-binding elements for translating a Prokaryote without the cell. It releases the other six for translating a Eukaryote within the cell. These thirty-six initiate the natural growth of the thirty-six groups of entities, in symmetry with the thirty-six heavens of Taoism. The thirty-six entity groups are formed through paired interaction of the six entities, whose elemental dimension is immanent within the cell: phage, archaeon, bacterium, eukaryote, prokaryote, and the cell itself. These form thirty species groups, of which six constitute the primordial animals, twelve constitute the zodiac animals, and twelve constitute the astrological animals. The six primordial animals are the mongoose, elephant, deer, eagle, turtle, and cow. The twelve zodiac animals are the rooster, dog, pig, rat, bison, tiger, rabbit, dragon, serpent, horse, sheep, and monkey. The twelve astrological animals are the goat, bull, fox, crab, lion, gorilla, peacock, scorpion, cat, crocodile, dolphin, and seahorse. They correspond to Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces moon signs (zodiac) and sun signs (astrological) respectively. In the physical realm, they are correlated with Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Uranus, Earth, Moon, Sun, Vega white star, and Dark Matter respectively. Professor Gupta’s research shows how the first ten phases empower a cell to localize the convergent energy of the entire cosmos for a profitable growth, which empowers it to enjoy oneness with the dynamic cosmic transformations and to trade them for potentiating supernatural development. Such development endows the cell with the power for managing the science, because the cell is able to produce many cells. Each cell is a unit of energy. Thus, the cell is able to create energy, transcending the limitations of the law of energy conservation. Through oneness with Mother Nature, a cell enjoys the power to produce six cells, by conceiving itself as a paternal, Mother Nature as a maternal, and differentiating itself into an octave of cells. Excluding the cells that constitute the primordial paternal, after the cell potentiates its octave potential, and the illusionary primordial maternal, its results in a six-fold growth. Each of the two child and four grandchild cells trade and reproduce the paternal cell’s divine energy, which is the energy of the consciously “decided” planning of an “imagined octave,” which reproduces the paternal “virtue intuitively” for enjoying “natural excellence.” In an interview at Criticspace Journals, he notes that’s why the divine element (Divya), that is made up of the six letters, was considered a synonym of the time element (Kala) and the mood element (Bhava) in ancient India. All these include the entire 360 degrees’ energy of the universe. In the second book, What is Present Reality, Dr Gupta investigates the metaphysics of the special theory of linear relativity, the general theory of nonlinear relativity, and the parabolic theory of chaotic relativity. He meticulously shows how varying theoretical approaches to relativity are bound to one’s becoming a special immanent divinity (first ten phases), a general transcendental divinity (second ten phases), and a parabolic infinite divinity (third ten phases). Becoming is Mother Nature’s paradigm for guiding each of her child to enjoy the varying dimensions of her present reality. In the third book, Is Present Reality, Professor Gupta dives deeper into the dynamics of taking the space as an ideal with immanent divinity (first ten phases); making the time as an ideal for trading emanating, transcendental divinity (second ten phases); shaping the causation as an ideal for servicing the self as an infinite, primeval divinity (third ten phases); and exchanging one’s entity with an idealized para entity to be a primordial deity homolog of the nurturing Mother Nature (last three phases, manifesting a natural, devoted circular divinity as the goal of one’s life). The three books are a revolutionary effort by Professor Vipin Gupta to make the current generation realize about the potential which we are carrying within us and the divine methods of using our potential in order to lead towards the paths of self-development, growth, progress and a happy life for us and the coming generations in the future as well. All three books are of ~550 pages and are available worldwide in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats. They are also available on Amazon in a shorter, In A Nutshell edition, with paperback and kindle unlimited formats. Article By: Neel Preet, The Literature Times

Disha Ravi Gets Arrested as One of The Creators of The Controversial Toolkit Case
The police have named Disha Ravi as a “key conspirator” to formulate and disseminate the toolkit. She is being said to be one of the editors of the controversial toolkit. Swedish Activist Greta Thunberg had shared it on twitter in connection with farmer’s protest. Ravi’s arrest was the first in the case, as informed by the police while producing her in front of the magistrate. The police also said that the toolkit was edited in February by Ravi and many other people involved in the matter. After her arrest on Saturday, the court held the 22-year-old climate change activist to 5-day police custody. As per the sources, two mure suspects are being searched by the police – Shantanu and Nikita Jacob – with raids in Mumbai and other places. Allegedly, non-bailable warrants have been issued against them. In a tweet, Delhi Police said, ” She was the one who shared the toolkit doc with Greta Thunberg”. They also claimed that Ravi and others “collaborated with pro-Khalistani Poetic Justice Foundation to spread disaffection against the Indian State”. In the document shared by Thunberg, various urgent actions were listed earlier this month to support the farmers’ protest. These included creating a Twitter storm and protesting outside the Indian embassies. Last week, the Delhi Police had communicated with Google. This communication aimed to find out the details of the account through which the document was created and uploaded on the social media platform. The toolkit was found to have mentioned two e-mail IDs, one Instagram account, and one Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in it. Police have asked the respective platforms for further details. The police had registered an FIR against unidentified persons connected with the creation of the “toolkit”. More on this issue at TLT: Conspiracy Against the Democracy of India?

NASA Assigns 2 Astronauts for its 2022 Mission
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) assigned 2 astronauts to SpaceX crew-4 mission to International Space Station (ISS). This announcement was made on February 13. The astronauts named by NASA for the mission are Kjell Lindgren and Bob Hines. They are to serve as spacecraft commander and pilot respectively for the crew-4 mission. While it is Hines’ first trip to space, Lindgren will be going for the second time, following a 141-day stay at the space station in 2015 for Expeditions 44 and 45. NASA has also named him as one of the Artemis Team of astronauts in Dec 2020, which will help in paving the way for future lunar missions of NASA. NASA’s Crew Commercial Program is working in collaboration with the American aerospace industry. They plan to develop and operate a new generation of spacecraft. They also plan to launch systems that are capable of carrying crews to the low earth orbit and the space station. The mission is scheduled to launch in 2022 on a Falcon 9 rocket from the Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. For over 20 years, humans have resided and worked tirelessly at the International Space Station. They have contributed in advancing scientific knowledge and demonstrating new technologies. This made many research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. 242 people from 19 countries have visited the unique microgravity laboratory as a global initiative. The laboratory has hosted more than 3,000 research and educational investigations from researchers in 108 countries.
The Weeknd performs at SuperBowl Half-time show
The Canadian R&B star, The Weeknd, performed in the SuperBowl’s interval time in Florida’s Raymond James Stadium. Appearing in his signature album art costume, the singing sensation performed hits from the 2020 album “After Hours” and the earlier albums. The Starboy hitmaker performed both on stage and took the camera backstage and on the ground in front of a socially distanced audience of almost 25000 spectators. Abel Tesfaye, The Weeknd showed some moves making the viewers reminisce Michael Jackson and also sung along songs like “The Hills,” “Earned It” and others. It was anticipated and feared that The Weeknd’s performance might not match the spirit of the event due to the nature of both his music and feature of content. However, the music spoke for itself and audience were awestruck. Twitter trends and tweets are a testimony of that. Twitterati also took no time in making memes based on The Weeknd’s different faces and shots in the almost 13 minutes performance. The event also featured an army of men with bandaged faces, kickstarted by the artist himself. The Weeknd explained to “Variety” what those bandages mean, “The significance of the entire head bandages is reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated.”
Glacier breaks in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli
Nanda Devi Glacier burst in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand on Sunday. This led to the Alaknanda and Dhauliganga rivers flooding near Reni village. The houses near the riverbank have been destroyed. Residents had already been evacuated as a safety measure on CM Trivendra Singh Rawat’s instructions. The CM called for an emergency meeting immediately after the mishap and made sure necessary action was taken without delay. On hearing the news, PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah extended their support after taking stock of the situation and coordinated with CM Rawat for any assistance he would require. The Tapovan dam and a bridge constructed by BRO are feared to have been swept away in this calamity. ITBP, NDRF and 3 additional teams have been tirelessly working for the rescue operation with the help of IAF. 18 people have been reported dead, and more than 200 are missing as per the latest updates. These mainly comprise the labourers from Bihar and UP. 16 people stuck in a Tapovan tunnel have been rescued successfully so far. The neighboring state Uttar Pradesh is on high alert as a safety measure to avoid more casualties. IMD has also been on its toes to update the weather in the coming days. They have predicted light rainfall on February 9 and 10. Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has decided to donate his match fee in the ongoing series against England to contribute to the rescue efforts.
Conspiracy Against the Democracy of India? Greta Thunberg Tweets Over Farmer Protests
Climate and environmental activist Greta Thunberg tweeted in support of the continued farmers’ protest which has been going on for around 70 days now. The protest is a stand taken by the farmers against the new agriculture laws by the central government which BJP leads. The tweet said ‘We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India.’ She enclosed a document with the tweet which was evident of a sinister conspiracy to defame India globally. Amidst all the support pouring in by numerous international personalities for the ongoing farmers’ protest on Delhi/NCR’s border areas, Zee News uncovered the truth that this support is actually a conspiracy in disguise. Its aim is to defame India at an international level. The Farmers’ Protest, which has been going on for around 70 days now, has taken a vast shape by going international and is now being controlled by other countries. Greta Thunberg is well-known for spreading awareness about climate change globally. But she seems to be unaware of the fact that the farmers she is supporting, pollute the environment by burning straws in India due to finite resources. These farmers had earlier demanded the government abolish the rules about burning straws and the government had given in to their pressure. The question rises that if Greta knows all this and still supporting farmers, is her love for the environment fake and misleading? If she doesn’t know, then why did she act without researching the matter properly? Rihanna also had supported Greta and apparently, the marketing companies are using celebs like them for making money and India’s defamation. The document had phrases like ‘Digital Strike’, ‘Twitter Storm’, ‘Hashtags’ along with a special email id mentioned and demanded photos/videos, tags, demonstrations etc. in favour of the protest. It appeared to be intended to bring about a revolution against the three newly enacted agricultural laws.
Jeff Bezos to step down as CEO of Amazon
Jeffrey Preston Bezos, popularly known as Jeff Bezos, has decided to step down as the CEO of the e-commerce giant, Amazon. Andy Jassy, the chief of Amazon Web Services would be stepping into Bezo’s roles and responsibilities in coming July. Bezos said that he is taking this step in order to concentrate on other prospects he has. He also mentioned that he would continue to be a part of Amazon from its position. With a net worth of $197 billion, the second most wealthy person globally, Bezos is also the owner of “The Washington Post” and the founder of the space exploration company, “Blue Origin.” Bezos began the journey of bringing an online revolution in 1994 when he opened an online bookstore in a garage, which later expanded. Every product of a person’s need was available. His philosophy of keeping everything customer-centric paid him off in the long term and contributed to bringing him in today’s position. Bezos is more energetic than ever as he states, “Never had more energy, this isn’t about retiring.” Bezos had already been delegating responsibilities to ensure the position exchange is smooth and does not affect the day-to-day operations. He had decided to step down last year. Still, the pandemic led to his taking control of the situation where he ensured that Amazon is not just in a stronger position when the CEO chair changes hands but also growing when most organizations were in negative in terms of growth.
