Science of faith

It was evening, and as I was having a cup of tea on my balcony, a sudden thought came to me: "What do I want right now, and what truly makes me happy?" Not only did the question pop up, but an answer did as well: "I need time for quiet, peaceful reflection." This was no simple thought; it held a much deeper meaning. I feel that something is fundamentally wrong with the constant engagement of our lives. Our society indirectly pushes us to keep busy, whether at work or with friends. For example, if a group of friends is discussing cricket and you know nothing about it, you might feel left out. As a result, you might watch it even if you have no real interest. If we aren't updated on current events, we risk being labeled as "dumb," "outdated," or simply uninteresting. To avoid this, we might try to catch up through TV, the internet, or AI. However, this information is often not legitimate, forcing us to research what is true and what is false. ...

Introduction I was reading a post about an 80-year-old who was worried about his last day. This got me thinking: What is death, and what happens after it? While I was lost in thought, a mosquito landed on me, trying to drink my blood. I didn’t intend to kill it, but the sudden pain made me instinctively slap my hand. Luckily, it escaped. Pain, Life, and Awareness That moment of pain sparked a fascinating question: Is the pain in my hand or in my brain? Actually, it’s in my awareness. But where is awareness? It’s invisible. If pain resides in awareness, where does life reside? Is it just the journey between birth and death? I believe life is an experience. Through this experience, I know about my brain, heart, and other organs. But what is life, truly? Why doesn’t a robot have life? Life has meaning, even if we consider something as simple as a battery having a “life.” How long does a battery’s life last? As long as it can provide a charge. Are we, like a battery, simply working for som...

The Vibrational Dance of Life We're all on this incredible journey, aren't we? From our first cry to our last breath, we're soaking up experiences, sharing smiles, shedding tears, even dancing through the dramas life throws our way. And while our conscious minds might eventually let go of the details, the core of those experiences – the feelings, the connections, the sheer essence of them – well, they never truly vanish. Every laugh shared, every hand held, every place we've touched, it all leaves a subtle but lasting mark. It's like the world keeps a whisper of our presence long after we've moved on. This profound feeling comes from understanding something fundamental: everything around us, and within us, is constantly vibrating. And here's the cool part – every single person, every interaction, even every thought, has its own one-of-a-kind vibrational signature. Everything's a Vibe Imagine reality not as solid and static, but as a vast, intricate symph...

  Introduction Is time universal or subjective? Much like an electron exhibits properties of both a wave and a particle, time appears to possess both universal and subjective aspects. This exploration aims to delve into how our experience of time is deeply subjective, even while acknowledging its universal framework. Today, I want to share my thoughts on how I feel time is subjective, even though it’s universal in nature. Focus It might seem counter-intuitive, but focusing intensely on time often makes it feel slower. Our perception of time often operates inversely to our emotional state. Happiness makes time seem to fly by; sadness or depression stretches it. In all these cases, emotion plays a major role in our perception of time. My Analogy Imagine two friends, A and B, studying in the same class. A loves math, while B loves history. For A, math class seems to fly by, but for B, it drags because he doesn’t like it. However, B’s history class goes faster than A’s. If we shift per...

  Introduction - My mind works better than normal when I'm driving my bike; maybe it's because of a lot of oxygen, I don't know exactly. If that's true, then a windy place is also a good option for the thought process. One day, a thought popped up: What's the core problem both spirituality and science face? It's oneness. Spirituality addresses this as "divine," but science, its counterpart, doesn't believe in oneness, even though some theories, like the Big Bang, talk about a singularity. Science doesn't believe the capacity of the singularity is equal to the capacity believed by spirituality.Both science and spirituality start with "s" not just in name, their core also shares commonality, but a bridge is not available. I want to mention this: I'm not purely a science person or a spirituality person; I'm just a person who loves both and has an interest in both. Now, I'd like to explain this with an analogy: A seed holds a...

  The Dream of the Ultimate Being: A Thought Experiment It’s a thought experiment. Some spiritual traditions suggest we live within the dreams of an all-pervading God, proposing that God alone embodies ultimate truth. This idea is profoundly interesting. The Layers of Reality Consider the possibility that we are characters within a vast dream of a true, ultimate being. Perhaps, as dream characters, our scope diminishes each day, with varying degrees of agency. We might even experience lucid dreaming, gaining control within our own smaller dreams. Occasionally, within these, we experience even tinier dreams, each utilizing characters and elements from the larger, “huge” dream. This intricate layering illustrates the immense artistry of that colossal dream. When we wake, our individual dreams disappear until the “real one” awakens. We experience new dreams daily within the same grand dream, remaining separated until that ultimate awakening. What happens if the “real one” does wake up...
