6 Hyperthesis (by way of conclusion)

I have put forth the following interpretive case. If Bauddhic sati is equated to Indra the Vedic king of the gods, then vipassanā – "insight (meditation)" – is the godly weapon that Indra welds. Well if it bears some truth that sati is Indra, and vipassanā connotes his holy weapon, I will use this weapon to tell a new story; I will demonstrate the way to plumb an old myth and recast it in a manner that subverts dead meaning. And by burying but one of a bewildering number of counter-hermeneutical red herrings and snares that have insidiously strewn this ancient path, we may finally bear witness that the "Buddhism" we know it today is essentially a derivative of Brāhmanical lore and that the entirety of its religious and philosophical outlook is but a grand unmitigated plagiarism of more remote Vedic and primordial conceptions. I will then return to sati and vipassanā and address their function as data accrual strategy and once and for all hermeneutically expose this specious twosome as masked marauding metaphors for Rgveda hymn I:103, with all due respect to the hair raising Harsha and his holy blistering jihādic arsenal.

I will further make an Indo-European cultural comparativistic scrutiny of the (s)ind(h)ic episteme of dharma, and then reconcile this with the early nous of the Persian-born Anaxagoras, with Aristotle's nous poetikos, and with the Unmoved Mover as god as brahman as quasi historical Buddha himself.
