Religion and Spirituality
When I was young, I used to go to temples to "pray". What I prayed, really
mattered at the time as I thought I saw some results.If I didn't, I probably thought I need to pray harder.
Now my thoughts have been on a transit mode. I feel we pray to a higher
consciousness, what others call as "God".We probably connect to such a universal or cosmic power..But, visiting temples is our way of telling ourselves that we are having
more faith in ourselves and help fulfill the same.In other words, what I truly believe when I actually think going to a
temple is more divine, its only because my thoughts have become more
powerful that if I would visit one, my prayers would be answered. But in
reality, its just my thoughts that have tend to believe that way. So they
gradually begin to conceive it in that way..If i just put a stone in front
of me and believe it has power, so be it. It would have power eventually
because my thoughts perceive the stone that way..Pilgrimage is not going to wash away your "bad karma" for good! If there is
a positive, there is a negative. If there is an electron, so there is a
positron. That's when we have a vacuum and that's what our universe is made
of.If some temple stands out of being highly powerful, for mighty sake, its
just the people's thoughts having been accumulated there and have been
increasing due to their super belief visits that leaves behind one powerful
place. I really think we need to open the minds eye in order to see beyond. Its only the belief that matters.."I" don't matter..its just my soul.
I would quite believe in quantum physics. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but only be converted from one form to another. So, our soul continues to live beyond the body. Body is just the matter form. Sadly earth supports matter, or rather this energy field supports only matter..and we humans had gained only this much energy and hence get retained in the earthly level.We need to move on.Once we die, perhaps our souls continue to live. There are higher worlds up there which do not support matter..and they are called the "City of Lights". Perhaps this could shed more light into the fact that 80% of the energy released during the "Big Bang", was never found or rather disappeared.
I wish there are more ways to learn this. This could happen only if Science and Spirituality unite, which would be possible only once they find the "God Particle". This is just my theory .

I thought, I could share this on 'god' and science....from a book which i am reading right now...Allow me to quote this whole, as I feel the entire stuff is a classic...

But when Mother died she didn't go to heaven because heaven doesn't exist.
Mrs. Peters's husband is a vicar called the Reverend Peters, and he comes to our school sometimes to talk
to us, and I asked him where heaven was and he said, "It's not in our universe. It's another kind of place
altogether."
The Reverend Peters makes a funny ticking noise with his tongue sometimes when he is thinking. And he
smokes cigarettes and you can smell them on his breath and I don't like this.
I said that there wasn't anything outside the universe and there wasn't another kind of place altogether.
Except that there might be if you went through a black hole, but a black hole is what is called a
singularity, which means it is impossible to find out what is on the other side because the gravity of a
black hole is so big that even electromagnetic waves like light can't get out of it, and electromagnetic
waves are how we get information about things which are far away. And if heaven was on the other side
of a black hole, dead people would have to be fired into space on rockets to get there, and they aren't or
people would notice.
I think people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on
living and they don't like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the
rubbish.
The Reverend Peters said, "Well, when I say that heaven is outside the universe it's really just a manner of
speaking. I suppose what it really means is that they are with God."
And I replied, "But where is God?"
And the Reverend Peters said that we should talk about this on another day when he had more time.
What actually happens when you die is that your brain stops working and your body rots, like Rabbit did
when he died and we buried him in the earth at the bottom of the garden. And all his molecules were
broken down into other molecules and they went into the earth and were eaten by worms and went into
the plants and if we go and dig in the same place in 10 years there will be nothing except his skeleton left.
And in 1,000 years even his skeleton will be gone. But that is all right because he is a part of the flowers
and the apple tree and the hawthorn bush now.
When people die they are sometimes put into coffins, which means that they don't mix with the earth for a
very long time until the wood of the coffin rots.
But Mother was cremated. This means that she was put into a coffin and burned and ground up and turned
into ash and smoke. I do not know what happens to the ash and I couldn't ask at the crematorium because
I didn't go to the funeral. But the smoke goes out of the chimney and into the air and sometimes I look up
into the sky and I think that there are molecules of Mother up there, or in clouds over Africa or the
Antarctic, or coming down as rain in the rain forests in Brazil, or in snow somewhere.
