Theory of Past and Future Life Analysis (for Tejpal and Rick)

[Guest guest]

Tejpal and Rick,

 

Our beliefs should be validated with concrete evidence, such as

discoveries by oneself and by science. Recent discoveries and

thinking in Physics appear to show the world or matter is based on

the flimsiest structure in the universe such as the subatomic

particles, e.g. quarks and gluons. I am not a scientist but based on

my understanding of these discoveries, the basis of matter or the

world appears to be ponderous and act like thoughts. Thus, I am now

believing that the basis of the world and the human physical

structure is consciousness.

 

Further, the late Pope John Paul II admitted many years ago that the

story of Adam and Eve in Eden is a myth and should not be taken as a

scientific fact. He, however, believes that the Eden story has a

religious message and should be taken a such.

 

The problems we're having today, especially in the conflicts in

Afghanisthan and Iraq, is due to the failure to distinguish belief,

such as creed or idiology, from the truth. For example,

 

An insurgent in Iraq or an al Quaida member would willingly blow

himself for the belief of their cause (the Koran or whatever) which

is different from the Christian or American ideology.

 

Similarly, we have Americans who believe that the troops are there

to defend the American homeland from violence and destruction from

terrorists.

 

What we have in consequence is a group of people who are enslaved by

their thoughts (fear in particular) or belief system and have

unnecessarily sacrificed many lives for the sake of creed, fear or

ideology.

 

I believe that we need to transcend our own thoughts and belief

system to avail ourselves to the source of the universe, which is

Pure Consciousness. It is only at this level that we will find the

solution to the conflicts in Iraq and elsewhere.

 

Regards,

 

John R.
