So many people have responded in so manydifferent ways - it appears to be that the presence of God is a verypersonal experience for each... Dear Misra ~ I was taken by your comment above as I was feeling the same, reading all the different posts. I think each adds to a more complete whole, like the facets of a kaleidoscope, or the patches of a quilt. Each may seem a bit different, but when put together create a beautiful "picture." We are One with God, and otherwise, we may be chatting, talking, writing, and contributing to the Cosmic Quilt. My own 'scientific' system of education which created a deep dividebetween the inner world (mere emotions) and the outer world (facts andrealities) led me to a total estrangement from the inner world. Ithink this is true for many. However, science has moved on from thatapproach and the quantum discovery of the inseperability of the innerand the outer has contributed to the 'seamless universe' theory.And I have moved on from the outer world to the inner world whichremained neglected for so long.... I have been hearing snippits of this theory for quite some time. Even with quantum physics, it was a beginning toward a seamless whole. In some way that no one perhaps expected, this new "science" proves what before could only be described as ineffable. I look forward to hearing more of your perspective, and if you have any books you could recommend for a lay person on this seamless universe theory, I would be so happy to know of one or two.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Dear Linda, You and Vishveshwar have a remarkable capacity for communicating. Your words reach out and touch the heart...and give the feeling of divine presence. I was startled by your use of the word kaleidoscope, because I had the same word in my mind.... Swami's question is so relevant and so very important. People world over have been following so many different 'Spiritual Practices'. Some believe their's is far superior and some even feel that they have the moral right to stop others from what appears to them paganism. Perhaps it is my unusual circumstances that compels me to compare and wonder how anyone who has surrendered to God could dare to be a judge of others. Can spiritual practices be separated from religion? Haven't religions been the cause of many wars? Were they flawed? And yet, after joining Maa and Swami's spiritual family, prayers have taken on a different meaning with a different level of involvement. When Swami says 'Spiritual Practices' we all know what he means, because his blessings and Maa's have inducted the 'Spiritual Practices' in our lives. In response to the second part of your mail... the first book that spoke of the seamlessness of the universe was one that I read long long ago - The Tao of Physics by Frithof Capra, w was about the particle theory. there was another book called 'Dreams of a Final Theory' by Steven Weinberg.. Seems like we have a space limit... I will write to you in your personal e-mail perhaps.. W.rgds Manjusha , nierika wrote: > > Misra wrote: > > What a difficult question!
