THE BLUE-RED FORM OF THE SUPREME BEING
The Vedic seers referred to the imperishable body of the Supreme Being as nila-lohita (blue-red), related to the two types of cosmic eggs from which is composed the imperishable body.
To maintain the ideal form of pure geometry, which displays maximum symmetry in three intuitive dimensions, the transcendental superlattice must be composed of two categorically distinct types of point values or cosmic eggs. Yet these cosmic eggs are not different in form or size or with respect to their geometric environment. As far as the category of space is concerned, they are all similar. Their difference lies with the category of time.This means that when one set of cosmic eggs is in the process of progressive creation, the other is in the process of progressive dissolution so that their cycles of creation and dissolution are 180 degrees out of phase. In other words, the two sets of cosmic eggs are similar with respect to space, but different with respect to time.
The term nila-lohita (blue-red) refers to the luminous appearance of these two types of cosmic eggs—as perceived by those who have the eyes to see and ears to hear the imperishable reality of the self. More specifically, the transcendental light emitted by the eggs in the process of creation appears blue shifted, while that emitted by those in the process of dissolution appears red shifted. From the perspective of unbounded awareness, the two types of cosmic eggs thus appear as luminous point values of consciousness colored blue and red.
In accordance with the principle that humans are created in the image of the Creator, we find that throughout the human body there are blue and red blood vessels constituting the circulatory system: The vessels that carry blood from the heart to the extremities are red, and those that deliver blood back to the heart are blue. This corresponds directly to the imperishable body of the Supreme Being.
In this analogy, the unit cell of the superlattice may be compared to the archetypal form of the imperishable body, and the cosmic egg that sits at the center of the cell may be compared to the body’s heart. The blood of the imperishable body is none other than the immortal blood (amrita rasa), which corresponds to the flowing substance of pure consciousness.During the process of creation, the immortal blood flows toward the central cosmic egg so that its created form can be nourished and built. Because the egg then appears blue, the converging streams of immortal blood can be assigned a blue color, like the streams of blood flowing toward the human heart. During the process of dissolution, the immortal blood flows away from the central cosmic egg. Because the egg then appears red, the diverging streams of immortal blood can be assigned a red color, like the streams of blood flowing away from the human heart. In this way, there is a color correspondence between the imperishable body of the Supreme Being and the perishable body of the human being.
