42. The Relative Time
With relativity in the picture, time becomes a little bit complex than we observe. The Relativity Theory talks about the individual perception of time and how each and every single particle in the universe has a time of its own! Every particle in the universe experiences time in its own pace, one second at a …
41. Time – The Beginning/ The 3 Arrows of Time
Time, the duration of events, the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present into the past, is also said to be the fourth dimension (along with the 3 dimensions). Einstein’s Relativity Theory broke down the earlier notion of ‘absolute’ time, and ‘relative’ time took over the universe around a …
40. Heaven, Hell and in Between/ The Next Lives/ The Order of ‘God’?
If there’s no life after death, why’s there confusion about heaven and hell in almost all the religions in the world and more specifically, across many cultures? The early philosophers who formulated the religions had to face the problem of regulating human conduct. Some form of control was, is and will be needed to influence …

39. The Afterlife/ Death
When speaking about souls, the most common questions coming to our minds are about the previous and afterlives and life after death. This discussion could be meaningful only after our understanding of the consciousness and karma. Across different cultures, it is generally believed that upon death, a soul can be born again as a different …
38. Extra-Terrestrial Karma/ Types and Times of Karma
With our understanding of evolution and through a lot of science fictions, we now know life as a process can’t be confined only to Earth. Through scientific research, it is understood that extra-terrestrial life is not just possible, but inevitable. The evolution of life on any other part of our universe depends on a planet’s …

37. Past is Present, and the Present is Future
In our previous example, in the first case; what is ‘present’ for one body (Sirius) is ‘past’ for another (Earth), and in the second case, the ‘future’ for one object (Earth) is ‘present’ for the other (Sirius). The time dilation principle, where the velocity of an object can slow down its flow of time, has …
36. Fate and Relativity Theory
By karma, if what is done in the present can affect the future of a living being, then there must be a definite chain of events leading to that point in the future. We have heard about this chain of events as the fate. Some believe in it while others say ‘fate is what we …
35. Causality of ‘Life’ or Life of ‘Causality’?/ The Good and the Bad
In our daily lives, we face situations where we act from our thoughts arising out of our past experiences. These thoughts are usually coupled with emotions.

34. Cause(s) and Effect(s)
Each of the individuals involved in the previous situation has a unique cause and a unique effect on the event. And by individuals, we don’t just mean the people, but the animals too! We must remember, each of them has a unique past, present and future. The number of possible futures for each of the …
33. Karma – 2
The law of karma is explained to be a holistic concept by many spiritual philosophers. It is said that karma is not just confined to the actions of individuals, but their thoughts too! Since it is the thoughts that materialise into actions; the law applies to thoughts too. Think bad about a person, someone else …
32. Chaos and Order – The Beginning/ Karma – 1
Living organisms, be it single-cellular, multicellular or even viruses, exhibit some dependency on their surroundings. By surroundings, we don’t just mean the environment an organism dwells in, but also the other organisms that coexist with it. This relationship between organisms and their environments can be symbiotic or parasitic or may involve mutualism or even be …
31. Dreams/ Causality of the Mind
With thoughts and emotions in our understanding from our stories so far, let’s now think about an equally important mental phenomenon, dreams. Dreams are understood as the images projected on the subconscious part of our minds when we are sound asleep. How does a coherent stream of images rise from the mind when we are …
