Advantages: At its highest levels, it's very wise.

Disadvantages: At its lowest levels it seems like gibberish.

What makes a baby grow?

How come I can sometimes tell what someone else is thinking?

Why does one person choose to do good and another choose to do evil?


All things seem to be made up of tiny thingies called subatomic particles.

In the view of world famous physicist David Bohm, subatomic particles are not simple thingies, but highly complex, dynamic thingies.

Ships are guided by radar.

Similarly, subatomic particles follow a path which is decided not only by ordinary physical forces but also by a clever force which Bohm calls the quantum potential.

The quantum potential guides thingies by providing them with information about the whole environment.

The quantum potential is found everywhere and links all quantum systems.

What was the most important discovery last century?

In 1982 an experiment to test quantum interconnectedness was performed by a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect in Paris.

The results showed that subatomic particles that are far apart are able to communicate.
Bohm decided that there was a Oneness about everything in the universe.

Bohm believed that life and consciousness are in everything.

This is Hinduism. Although it also ties in with thoughts in John's gospel, with Taoism and with Buddhism.

The writer Capra says:
"The most important characteristic of the Eastern world... is the awareness of the unity and mutual interrelation of all things and events…. The Eastern traditions constantly refer to this ultimate indivisible reality, which manifests itself in all things, and of which all things are parts. It is called Brahman in Hinduism, Dharmakaya in Buddhism, and Tao in Taoism…"

"The basic oneness of the universe is not only the central characteristic of the mystical experience, but is also one of the most important revelations of modern physics. It be
comes
apparent at the atomic level, and manifests itself more and more as one penetrates deeper into matter, down into the realm of sub-atomic particles."

Hinduism, like Christianity and Islam, contains lots of conflicting theologies.

But, at its best, Hinduism, like Christianity and Islam, shows us the link between the One God 'out there' and the individual soul or spirit 'in here'. The Kingdom of heaven is within us. We are branches of the vine. I am in you and you are in me.

So what do Hindus believe?

Well, Hinduism is almost a mixture of religions. But, most Hindus would agree on the following -

Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation, preservation and dissolution. The birth of our own universe may have been at the death of some other universe.

Hindus believe in Karma, the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds. Christians believe that we reap what we sow. If we don't forgive, we won't be forgiven. If we give generously to others, we will receive much in return. Hinduism sounds similar to Christianity.

Hindus believe in many reincarnations.

All life is to be loved and revered.

Hindus believe that no particular religion teaches the only way to salvation.

CONCLUSIONS

So, what makes a baby grow? It seems to me that inside each of us there is a radar or map which offers guidance.

Each creature in the universe can, to some extent, grow in the way that it chooses to grow, but there is a map or radar. We will reap what we sow.

God did not 'make' us in the way that a watchmaker makes a clock. We grow. Creatures choose to be lions or butterflies or whatever.

Why does one creature choose to be 'good' and another choose to be 'bad'.

One way of trying to come to grips with this p
roblem is to see that all
l creatures are essentially ONE.

In one incarnation Buddha might be a thief. And in another incarnation Buddha might be a saint. And Buddha and Hitler and Mother Theresa are all part of the one being. Judge not that you be not judged.

Why did one of your children become 'bad' and one of your children become 'good'?

What made the 'bad' child choose 'badness'?

Look at it this way - Your 'bad' child is the same person as your 'good' child. That ONE child (who appears to be two) experimented with both goodness and badness.

And how come I can tell what you're thinking? Because we are all in some way interlinked.

So, I think we have a lot to learn from Hinduism.
