Science of faith

  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...

Exploring Dimensions: Perception, Consciousness, and Reality Introduction We often feel confined by boundaries, limited by what we can perceive. Imagine shinking to the quantum world; we might discover it's as vast and immense as our expanding universe. We seem to be stuck between these two extremes. Even though we know the quantum realm exists and our universe is incredibly large, we still feel limited, unable to perceive or go beyond. It's as if we're bound by gravity, much like a rat attached to a mat. These thoughts lead us to consider dimensions: length is one dimension; length and width make two dimensions; length, width, and height make three dimensions; and when you add time, it becomes four dimensions. We navigate length, width, and height with ease. But what about the fourth dimension—time? While we certainly perceive time, we can't move through it as we do up, down, or sideways. This clearly indicates that we don't fully perceive the fourth dimension; if ...

  Introduction   For some, the very idea of “shapeshifting” brings to mind weird, fantastical creatures. Honestly, I used to be one of them. That is, until I was scrolling through my phone and a short video popped up—werewolves and vampires, the usual suspects. Watching a man physically transform into a monstrous wolf, something sparked in my mind. "Here, a man physically transforms into a beast-wolf," I thought. "But why can't I transform someone?" As that question looped in my mind, I realized the core of you, me, and everyone else is the same, yet incredibly diverse. Before we dive into what makes us common and what makes us unique, let’s clarify something crucial: when I talk about non-physical shapeshifting, I’m not talking about literally changing your body like a werewolf or a superhero. Instead, this is about transforming consciousness, perception, and identity. It’s a journey into the subtle shifts that shape who we are and how we experience the world, ...

Introduction No single individual holds all knowledge, and I am certainly no exception. It is precisely from the bounds of my own understanding that a profound curiosity emerges, fueling an endless stream of questions: why, what, how, and when? Among these, one of the most compelling and enduring questions revolves around the journey between birth and death. While countless religions offer diverse explanations, a deeper observation into the scientific perspective often reveals underlying commonalities, hinting at a shared core truth. Birth: The Assembly of Existence At its most fundamental, birth represents the complex formation of particles into a living entity, typically initiated through the process of reproduction. When we dissect the ‘ingredients’ of this formation, we arrive at the subatomic realm: protons (positive charge), neutrons (neutral), and electrons (negative charge). It’s crucial to note that electrons are considered fundamental particles, not composed of smaller units....

  Dream Travel and Precognition Time travel is a consistently fascinating concept. While it’s true that objects with mass can’t reach the speed of light—a limitation that restricts almost every physical method of achieving time travel, with the exception of light itself—recent research has primarily focused on these physical approaches. However, another potential avenue to consider is non-physical, such as traveling through dreams. My focus here is purely on the idea of consciousness seeing into the future. While I've read about concepts like astral projection, I haven’t experienced it myself nor met anyone who has, so I won’t be delving into that topic. Instead, I’ll concentrate on dreams that seem to reveal future events. There are even some real-life incidents that make you wonder. For example, a colleague of mine dreamt about his brother’s death, and two days later, the same thing happened, even though his brother had been perfectly fine just before. Another instance is when m...
