see
i never knew that until just now

we are using indra`s net cos it fits what we know
but
does what we know fit what buddha knew

For the Huayan school, Indra's net symbolizes a universe where infinitely repeated mutual relations exist among all members of the universe.

This idea is communicated in the image of the interconnectedness of the universe as seen in the net of the Vedic god Indra, whose net hangs over his palace on Mount Meru, the axis mundi of Vedic cosmology and Vedic mythology [link to en.wikipedia.org]

The earliest materials from which this metaphor were drawn can be found throughout the oldest of India's works, the Vedic Sahits, Brhmaas, Upaniads, and Stras, so that "Indra's net" has its philosophical roots in early "proto-forms" of Samkhya, one of the six Hindu darshanas. Indeed, some scholars have speculated that Buddhism is itself a branch of these early forms of Skhya.

Broadly, the Samkhya system classifies all objects as falling into one of the two categories: Purusha and Prakriti. While the Prakriti is a single entity, the Samkhya admits a plurality of the Puruas in this world. Unintelligent, unmanifest, uncaused, ever-active, imperceptible and eternal Prakriti is alone the final source of the world of objects which is implicitly and potentially contained in its bosom. The Puru a is considered as the conscious principle, a passive enjoyer (bhokta) and the Prakriti is the enjoyed (bhogya). Samkhya believes that the Purua cannot be regarded as the source of inanimate world, because an intelligent principle cannot transform itself into the unconscious world. It is a pluralistic spiritualism, atheistic realism and uncompromising dualism.
Purua

Purua is the transcendental self or pure consciousness. It is absolute, independent, free, imperceptible, unknowable through other agencies, above any experience by mind or senses and beyond any words or explanations. It remains pure, “nonattributive consciousness”. Purua is neither produced nor does it produce. It is held that unlike Advaita Vedanta and like Purva-Mimamsa, Samkhya believes in plurality of the Puruas.
Prakriti

Prakriti is the first cause of the manifest material universe — of everything except the Purua. Prakriti is accounts for whatever is physical, both mind and matter-cum-energy or force. Since it is the first principle (tattva) of the universe, it is called the Pradhna, but, as it is the unconscious and unintelligent principle, it is also called the jaDa. It is composed of three essential characteristics (trigunas). These are:

Sattva – poise, fineness, lightness, illumination, and joy;
Rajas – dynamism, activity, excitation, and pain;
Tamas – inertia, coarseness, heavyness, obstruction, and sloth.

All physical events are considered to be manifestations of the evolution of Prakriti, or primal nature (from which all physical bodies are derived). Each sentient being or Jiva is a fusion of Purua and Prakriti, whose soul/Purua is limitless and unrestricted by its physical body. Samsra or bondage arises when the Purua does not have the discriminate knowledge and so is misled as to its own identity, confusing itself with the Ego/ahamkra, which is actually an attribute of Prakriti. The spirit is liberated when the discriminate knowledge of the difference between conscious Purua and unconscious Prakriti is realized by the Purua.

and this is what vishnu thought indras net is:



this is vishnu`s conscious process exploitation

Purua is neither produced nor does it produce

feels like synergy
you become the velocity of what is talking to you thus the emotional information you experience makes sense to you (happy emotion)
more knowing the topics you are looking at = more knowing that will match knowing in increased velocity meetings because you will be able to hang onto more of what is being said thus synergize more with what is talking to you is feeling while they are talking to you
as in:
you both have something to talk about that you both feel good talking about because the emotional benefit (feelings) of talking about it instantly become felt by each

One gets 4 'hot wings' per one chicken.

If these numbers are accurate then Americans will consume 300,000,000 dead chickens on a single day...

Current population of people in America:

313,914,040


Just to put it in perspective.
