66. Rising Concerns
The thing that created such confusions about of God is that, throughout time, men have been adding up a lot of properties to the entity.
We saw how the societal norms and their reverence were added to the deities, and how the questions unsolvable by men were immediately added to the God’s knowledge. We still use the phrase, ‘Only God knows…’ or ‘Leave it in the hands of God…’ These little actions…
65. Conflicts and Conquests
With the (religious) scriptures passing on through time, the coming generations started believing that the original thinkers of their religious beliefs as Gods themselves! This belief was actually intended to respect the first thinkers of the religious faiths, but it went on the exact opposite way of the intentions! The philosophers who have no part in any religions are being worshipped even without their knowledge!
Through centuries, the religious ideas with their prime deities and Gods got solidified through a somewhat blind belief, and the beliefs were forced on…
64. Evolution of Religions – 2
In time, man learnt about the connection between the forces of nature, between the mountains and the rivers, between the sun and the trees, and so on. He then started believing in a spirit or a force, connecting all these forces with one another and finally, with himself.
There began animism, with the belief in the intricate connection between everything and the deities were assigned relational statuses. The distinction between the forces of creation and forces of destruction took a firm hold…
63. Evolution of Religions – 1
Throughout history, any discussion about God involved men following different religious faiths to put forward their ideas about God and debate against the other religions.
They derive their ideas from the scriptures of their religions, which were passed on from one generation to the next. The authenticity of these scriptures is placed beyond questioning from…
62. Parallel Universes & The Grand Illusion
The energy medium can give rise to parallel universes. But the nature of the universes can vary, and it depends upon the initial conditions they began or begin or will begin with.
Our universe started after pressure built-up on a point in the energy medium. This pressure led to heat and finally the hot singularity. The probability that the same event starts on another point in the energy medium is high. Equally probable are the situations where the initial conditions…
61. Aliens/ Time Travel
The occurrence of life on any planet across the universe is easily possible and also inevitable, and this is becoming a well-known fact by now. The form, the physical structure of the life forms may differ from that of our own, but the evolution of the senses in the specific order (from ‘touch’ to ‘time’) can be certain.
The conditions of ecosystems in any other planet helps its life forms to evolve their physical bodies to suit their needs and threats. Also, the astral body will always evolve to…
60. The Seventh Sense
From our understanding of thoughts and emotions, we can say that consciousness as a factor emerged out of a closed system of energy, bound within a physical body.
The chance for consciousness to exist after death is improbable and impossible. This also means there can’t be a conscious entity outside in the energy medium, since the entity will need a physical body to exist. The sixth sense which evolved to understand time’s flow has the natural boundaries of…
59. Super Powers!
The soul has its base in our physical bodies, and when it gains the senses, thoughts and emotions, it is called the astral body.
We saw how the intensity of our soul gets affected when we go through emotions and thoughts. This we understood at our individual (personal) levels. What happens at an interpersonal level has been explained by many spiritual philosophers with their own unique…
58. The Imbalance of Perspectives
We take inputs from our surrounding reality through a filter in our thought process. The filter limits our view of reality to a single line of sight (and even time)! This filter of vision is known as our perspective.
We rely heavily on our perspective or point-of-view of events to understand the reality around us. Our perspectives, in turn, depend on our past experiences, the knowledge we have gained in our lives and our emotional balance in any…
57. Emotions/ Personality
The change in emotions with thoughts is hard to be noticed, and it is a natural phenomenon happening in a fraction of a second.
With the persistence of memories in our brains, our subconscious experiences a range of emotions. Anticipation of futures and experiencing the desired futures raises glee, joy, happiness and ecstasy, while a failure in the plans and experience of an alternate future gives us grief, and when disappointment is high, we experience…
56. Pasts and Futures
A curious thing about our time is that we normally have a clear picture of our pasts than our futures (thoughts)! This is so because we have already experienced the past while the future is always an uncertainty. Like we saw before, the psychological time is the same as the other 2 arrows of time in its flow being unidirectional (from the past to the future).
Such working of thoughts means that the psychological time, though linear, can be paused and the mind can be made to live the past again (past thoughts made to form the mind).
55. Change our Fates?
With the existence of different times for every particle and even consciousnesses, the question if there exists a definite future was answered by Siddhas as fate and got supported by Relativity Theory. The existence of fate reduces the concepts of free will and choices to mere illusions. But, are they?
We understood time as the pace of energy’s momentum, and all the particles in the universe are racing towards disintegration to convert back into energy ever since their formation (although it might take forever), the particles that make up…
