Summary
The universe is a living organism. It has no laws, but habits. That is the great intuition of Buddhist cosmology. To this is added another, which comes from Vedic thought and which inherits the sakhya: the mind is not consciousness. Nature is made of the subtle matter of the mind, an extended mind, which is constantly in dialogue with an all-pervading consciousness, which cannot be understood according to the directives of space and time. The cosmos undergoes cyclical processes of creation and dissolution that develop according to the spiritual evolution of the beings that inhabit it. In the Vedic epoch, the primordial universe is pure sound, the precursor of light, music as the mother of astronomy and biology. In samkhya, the universe is filled with hidden witnesses whom nature, in its infinite capacity for creation and diversification, tries to please. Consciousness, pure and without content, allows itself to be seduced by nature. For Buddhism, space is not distributed by concentric forces such as gravity, but by the eccentricities of psychic life.
