And I would love it if you stop calling the GOD as a being .. 😆 << Which can be perceived with senses or experiments ..Its something that exists in a shapeless and timeless state ...Thats why people allude to that energy which never exhausts as the GOD ...

I got dragged in the God part, that was already dealt with, this thread isn't for that.

When did I say Law of conversation of energy is wrong? It isn't, as far as we know.

I asked Birdie if he thought it was a being. You gotta be a being to be conscious, right? Again such mysticism doesn't help. Energy is energy, why give a new name God?

Okay, so how do you define God?

Um ...Sorry I was fighting another pointless battle in another thread ..Well getting back to this one ...and your earlier post ...Energy has to be something ..to exist ..Cause nothing can't ..We know of Photons ..A particle of course ...But do we know all particles ? Photons came much later ...The earliest known obes were only IMAGINARY ..< The gravitons ..And I can only LMAO @ he concept ...But thats what science points to ..Imaginary ..Now who can imagine ? Someone did ..When there was no matter or even particles ...Again we don't know all the states in which energy can exist ...

I define the GOD as a pure energy ..which is conscious ..Aware or not is a different issue ..See even we have a Coscious mind and then a Subconscious mind ..And then there is a concept of 'KUNDALINI' inside ourselves <<<<<< Now this is a spiritual term ..It can be interacted with meditation ..a great amount of practice is needed to achieve that state ..as they say .. Then there have been Trans Body experiences that took place in late 1800s ..

See ..We are on about something thats the MIGHTIST ...As I had said on many occasions ..there is this everlasting energy ..which keeps on purifying itself ...The same energy exists inside us ...And we keep dying and taking births again and again ..until we finally reach a state of Moksha ..= Stop existing in a free unamalgamated state ... << You might find this absurd ..but this has been mentioned in religious books ..We can consider this as an idea here ...Look ..The universe is created ..and after trillions of years its destructed ..When all matter , Particles, Energy again become ONE <<< Doesn't that sound like the same kind of a process ? ..So the GOD as in the energy is at many places and in many forms ...even the stones cause even they were created outta energy ..and everything will become the same energy ( May be supersymmetry ) again ...

Vintu ...😊

This is critical to understand so here goes:

"The Source" is but a noun. You could use any noun you want.

Irrespective of the noun that you use, it will not put an end to the questions that concern themselves with "what is this noun made of?" and "how did this noun come about".

P.S: I am beginning to think there is pretty much nobody in this world at my wavelength...

Uh-oh! And here I was hopeful that once we could log in it may be possible to access the Ultimate Truth which would make all questions redundant !

It looks like the hacking tool has been found! 😆 If our ancestors were right, it could be possible to uncoil the Kundalini and raise it and log into The Source! All we need is to know the proper technique and try it out.

We have the options to dismiss it as "no evidence", observe someone who has done it , though that may not give the evidence one may be looking for. The best evidence would be to have the direct experience, or so it appears..

That's where we run in problems, limitations of language and comprehension. Does our brain need to evolve more to "get it"? I posted this before here, lost in all the chatting that went on, that what if human mind is not developed enough yet? What if even some advanced species came to teach us, we just couldn't grasp it? But I would like to continue without this assumption.

Perhaps there is a need to go beyond the noise and chattering of words. When the brain is too busy with activty of transmitting for most of the time the reception activity may suffer. So I guess silence it should be. But that's easier said than done!

@ the bold- Didnt I see it mentioned at least twice that evolution involves population and not individuals ! 😲 Yet here I notice the evolution of the brain - a part of the individual! - creeping in !

So make up your mind. If there cannot be individual evolution then there cannot be evolution of its part. Or did you mean to say evolution of the brain of the population as a whole! ? 😆

Everything "evolves" over time including, say, software. But a patch here or a service pack there wouldn't be considered "next generation". For instance, a patch applied to Windows 95 wouldn't drastically alter the perception of what Windows 95 actually is, where as Windows 95 and Windows 8 are polar opposites and would be considered generations apart.

In that sense, cumulative changes observable in a population (in the above analogy, the population of operating systems that are selling in the current market) over time acquire more prominence than gradual changes happening at the individual level.

Ango ....😆

@ Bold : I guess its time to congratulate the despaired lot ...One post and you have done what I initially thought was impossible for a mediocre spiritual being like me to do ...YESH YESH ..Ango ...you just catalysed my Kundalini ...🥳 ...nuff for yall to entrust me with the coveted 'hacking into the Source' task ...😆 ..

I have now devised a wonderful plan to solve the greatest mystery ever ...and here it is >----->... Um ..The popular belief amongst the believers is that The God resides in every heart, every mind ..How about we hacking a few hearts to bail up the God there? Let's start with ourselves shall we ? ...But who ll hack whose heart first ? Um ..Let me toss a coin ...Aww ..Tails it is again... ( My favourite ...😆) ..and you win ..Okay you hack into my heart now ..And here is your clue ...The code starts with a number ..420 <<<< 😆 ..Just kidding ...

And btw ...Kundalini ? How do ya like that name ? Doesn't that sound like one unique, fabulous name for a Baby Girl ? ..I insist all of us sweeet people here remember that when it ll be time to name babies...After a few years that is ...😆

On a serious note : I am jealous of the Hens cause we know their origin ..I am jealous of the God cause everyone here and everywhere seems to be chasing him ..And as if that wasn't nuff you made me jealous again by quoting TWO people in one post so impeccably ... ...Something that's as difficult for me as finding the God ..or sometimes finding YOU ...You Evil thing ...😆

@ Bold : But Birdie ..that ll violate Hubble's law ..and other findings like the remnant CMB ..If the current stellar expansion is reversed it takes us to the point of Big Bang ..So that leaves us with only one option. That is to root for your 1st option ...The God = the Energy created the Universe ..😊

Free ...Even if we agree that all known and unkown energy exists in the form of particles..that still doesn't falsify the earlier contention of it existing in a Shapeless and Timeless state ...And we do name different energis differently ..ie: Light, Heat etc ..So we should now think if that energy is capable of taking a conscious decision to create something ? ( As we know from the examples of the Plants and Viruses that the Brain ain't needed to take conscious decisions ..Which eliminates the need of the creator to be a Being ..) or did everything happen randomly ? ..And I know somewhere inside your mind you too believe the event wasn't random...😆

Vintu Madira, your contention is that a timeless, shapeless entity that you prefer to refer to as The God (or The Energy) is what is behind the emergence of the Universe. Fine, let's go with that for a minute.

Don't you think that the curious ones would then want to know how that Entity itself emerged? Are you not stifling their curiosity by saying that The Entity always existed? Don't you think that it is extremely anti-climactic that the curious ones, who through eons of research, approach the gates of singularity, only to be turned back by folks like you who maintain that on the "other side" of it, something always existed in a shapeless/formless state and time doesn't apply to it? How disingenuous is that?!

is it possible that you are constructing the exact opposite image of this universe, in a dualistic way with your stance on this topic? We are aware of shape so the one responsible for this universe has to be shapeless. We live in space-time so the one responsible for this has to be outside of space-time.

Thinking outside the box is not the same as assuming there is no box?

I am not saying what could be The Truth. For all we know, may be it is God. For all we know, may be it is Consciousness. But, and this is a big one, will that Truth satisfy the curiosity? I don't think so. At least not for me.
