Nootan Kumar | The Evolution <strong>of</strong> Consciousness<br />

Understanding the why <strong>of</strong> the evolution <strong>of</strong> consciousness, the<br />

discussion proceeds to the how. Oriental astronomy describes that just as the<br />

moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth around the sun, so does the<br />

sun revolve around a particular point <strong>of</strong> the universe. This centre forms the<br />

seat <strong>of</strong> the creative power <strong>of</strong> Brahma, or universal magnetism, which is<br />

responsible for regulating Dharma, or “the mental virtue <strong>of</strong> the internal<br />

world”. 49<br />

Human consciousness evolves according to the revolution <strong>of</strong> the<br />

sun around Brahma: the closer the solar system is to Brahma, the more<br />

evolved is human consciousness. One complete revolution around Brahma<br />

takes 24,000 years; 12,000 years for the sun to orbit furthest away from<br />

Brahma, and another 12,000 years to orbit back. An illustration is provided in<br />

Figure 1:<br />
