Understanding Existence; Phenomenon of Time; Manual of Life
All of us woke up one day and someone said I am your father and this is your mother, these are your brothers and sisters. Then they told us about ‘this is right’ and ‘that is wrong’. Then said this is legal and that is illegal. You ask why are some wrongs legal, and some rights illegal; they said this is what their parents told them. You visit some other places and those legal things are illegal there, and vice versa. Then you are told you have a religion; you curiously ask which one; parents tell you it happens to be the same as theirs. Majority of mankind is comfortably living life like this.
Those who blindly follow what they are told, have to keep themselves immensely busy to avoid contemplating the questions that come to mind; why was I not born in another country, in another family, in another religion, in a palace rather than a hut – and vice versa, in another era, on a different planet. We also notice that humans have a universally embedded nature in them. All religions, cultures, societies agree that lying, stealing, hurting others, usurping, cursing is bad. We also notice when we help someone in need, stop a crime from taking place, engage in meditation, and/or come across new beneficial knowledge or skill, there is this sense of satisfaction and completion inside us.
We also notice we have certain freedoms, but with limitations. I can freely choose to stand on one leg of my choice; but I cannot choose to pick up the second leg simultaneously. I can jump in the air, but cannot fly. I find myself depending on having to consume food and water, and breathe air, sleep at night, urinate etc. I don’t seem to have a choice about that, so I must schedule my day where I have access to those essentials when needed. Btw, everything we consume or build with or do anything with comes from the earth and eventually it goes back in to the earth including ourselves.
Why do I wake up every day and find out some humans didn’t wake up today and have passed. What is existence; a fruit on the tree didn’t exist few months back, and appeared on the branch out of thin air, trace back further and even the tree didn’t exist some years back. Same way man wasn’t around but then appeared in the mother’s womb one day out of thin air, trace the mother back and she didn’t exist some years back. Who was the first man and woman to be. Evolution theory and all other pagan theories that tells me we are glorified apes or a result of two cells copulating, don’t add up for me; leaves a lot of unanswered questions. With the monotheistic religions it tells me a story about Adam and Eve, and tells me about a beginning, and tells me there is an end. Now, it catches my attention and I want to know more.
Imagine a beautiful Lamborghini shows up and someone tries to tell you that a screw and a screw driver mated and kept multiplying and ended up looking like this car. Fact is that this car has a creator, someone who designed it and put it together. Human physical design is perfect and cannot be perfected further; think about where would you want the nose or your fingers to be relocated. Animal dung in the middle of the desert is a proof that an animal was here. Footprints in the sand are a proof that a man was here. This earth, these stars, planets, moons are a proof that the Creator exists and is present. When I hear this, it resonates with me, and I feel like I am getting somewhere with my questions.
Time
Now let’s come to Time; what is time? Just to throw you off, what time is it right now if you are standing on the surface of moon. The unique Creator who created this universe is the one who created time. In our extremely limited understanding of this great phenomenon, man foolishly thinks he is on top of and in charge of time just because he can look at the clock and tell time. Time in the day is determined by the rotation of the earth on its axis in relation to the sun. So, there was a ‘time’ before the creation of the earth and the sun. What was the definition of that ‘time’; how do I measure that; what revolved around what. I simply cannot measure it with this limited faculty of brain that I have.
The two calendars we have are the rotation of the moon around the earth (lunar calendar; 354.37 days/year) and earth’s rotation around the sun (solar calendar; 365.25 days/year). If any of these rotations are disrupted then what would be the understanding of time for us. Was this rotation always the same, or was it slower and now getting faster. Clock was only invented some 500 or so years ago. Comparing the recent years to the past years of childhood, a year feels like a month, month like a week, week like a day, day like an hour. When I am at the theme park, time goes by so fast, but when sick it creeps so slowly. Ever tried to start looking at the clock if you have to wait for 5 minutes verses if you are browsing your phone for 5 minutes. This is because passage of this phenomenon of time is directly influenced by observation, personal experience, emotions, feelings, and the physical space one is occupying at a unique point. Ask a 90 year old how long he feels he has lived.
Think of the difference in experiencing the passage of time between the passengers in the flight overhead flying in the direction of rotation of the earth, verses those on the ground. Rotation of the earth is 1040 miles an hour towards east. If you get on a mach 3 jet (2301 mph) and fly in the direction of rotation of the earth. In 24 hours earth will rotate 24960 miles one complete round, and 24 hour flight on mach 3 jet will take you 55224 miles; basically you went around the earth twice, will you really time travel to the future? I think you will just end up with only 24 hours passed on the earth from where you started your journey. For physical time traveling you would have to go through certain energy portals/star-gates located on the crossing of major Ley lines, but there you could end up in other dimension as well. This is a subject we wouldn’t cover here. Let’s look at the experience of so many people who in their sleep saw a dream which came true exactly the way they saw it a number of days later; did they time travel and observed the future. What really goes on during sleep, why don’t you feel fresh if you only lay in bed all night with eyes closed letting your body relax, but not fall asleep. This is a vast and deep subject on its own.
Time is also a dimension; one visiting a 3 dimensional place at a certain time is not the same when one is not present there at another time, pointing to time being the hidden dimension when viewing a 3 dimensional place on earth. Visiting a street in Syrian city in time prior to conflict verses visiting the same city today after the conflict; the 3 dimensional view will be quite different because of a hidden dimension of time being different; or for example visiting the same city 1000 years ago. Another example, being at the mall at 2am in the morning is not the same as being at the mall 2pm in the afternoon; the view will be quite different.
Manual of Life
When you observe everything that man creates, he always puts together rules, restrictions, warning labels, method of utilization, and a manual for reference. Everything that you take out the box comes with instructions on how to assemble or use it. There has to be a manual that explains life, death, existence, good and evil. It must tell us what is good for us in this worldly experience and what we should abstain from due to its harm to us. This book/manual of life must be able to answer all questions and stand the test of time; not require changing/editing/modifying, even as time changes from one era to the next (dark ages, industrial era, modern era, information age), this book must be able to keep up with that and help those living in that era make sense of their surroundings and purpose of their existence.
There was no such book that I can recall in high school or university. For that I search historical records and I find that there were a number of men that came in different eras/ages that claimed they were messengers of the Creator of all things, commonly referred to as God, and these men brought books/scriptures/manuals with them claiming to be communications from the unique Creator. Now this sounded very interesting, and I wanted to learn more about what the Creator has to say, especially wanted to see if He knows me better than myself.
The Creator emphasis in the books that don’t call anyone else the creator and that He has no partners who helped him in His creation, and that Vision can’t comprehend Him, but He comprehends all vision. He tells us to reflect upon Him, heed the signs, ponder His creation, recognize Him, and once done so fall in prostration submitting to His will. He knows all, sees all and hears all. He knows what is good for man and what is harmful. Also, He tells us that one day you will come back to Me and I will reward you for the good you did and punish you for the evil you committed; unless of course you repent.
I tried to relate to that and thought that if I call someone else my father who had nothing to do with the mating process for me coming in to existence in my mother’s womb, my real father would be upset and perhaps even my mother as well. I also notice when I submit to them willingly they love me more, and I get handed the extra sugar intake which I crave for. Then I reflected that I am not even able to see beyond the third dimension, even though I know the 4th, 5th, and 6th definitely exist; just look at a matchbox with 6 sides; so I am deficient in my ability to see all. If I am drone monitoring an area and see a jungle tourist who doesn’t heed the warning sign and trespasses. I can see how he will end up falling in to the hidden ditch or run off the cliff or get caught in quicksand; so I can relate to the Creator telling me that He knows what’s best and what’s harmful for me.
When the child does something wrong, the parents correct him. When man commits crime, society punishes him accordingly. If man has laws for other men on how to behave in society, I can understand the warning of the Creator of punishment, and good news of a reward when we return to Him; since not all men get caught or are punished in this life for their crimes; for example who will punish and bring in court the pharaohs/kings of today; not their enslaved subjects for sure.
I can also understand anyone who hasn’t done any good or went out of their way to promote virtue and forbid vice and expects a reward to be like an employee who doesn’t show up at work all month and expects a salary at the end of the month, he will be very disappointed. If one doesn’t do any good work; doesn’t care about his job; doesn’t stop other employees from stealing, even though he may not steal himself; just absolutely negligent; then at the end of the month expects a pay raise and promotion.
It is a fact this earth is shared by all humans, even though we tried to send some to the moon. If mankind today doesn’t care for each other, promote good and stop evil on all levels, we all will suffer. Example of this is of a cruise liner. If all aboard upper deck find the lower deck occupants are attempting to carve out a hole at the bottom of the ship, and turn away thinking that these fools will drown themselves only and the upper deck is safe.
So, now I want to know where is the Creator located. I look up in the sky, but realize that I can’t even grasp the entire sky with my vision, there is so much of the sky behind my head which I have to turn around to view, but then I lose the first view when I turn around. I realized that if I can’t properly grasp the creation of the Creator with these two eyes, how could I grasp the Creator with this limited vision of mine. I can imagine an ant crawling on the floor wanting to grasp in its vision the entire earth, impossible at least while in this world. This now made me curious to where I am located. I live in North America. Where’s North America? on planet earth. Where’s planet earth? in the solar system. Where’s the solar system? in Milky way galaxy. Where’s the Milky way galaxy? in the universe. Where’s the universe? quite frankly, I don’t know.
The Creator also tells us that we have an enemy, and tells us the story of Adam/Eve and the devil who vowed to prove to the Creator that Adam and sons of Adam will be ungrateful to the Creator. There is so much more to this story; here I just want to introduce this subject. The books also lay out a moral social code, an economic code, even a code for engaging in war. So, now I know I am more than just an eating, sleeping, breathing organism; that there is some higher purpose of my existence and I have a role in my surroundings. I have come to the realization that I am definitely sent to this earth along with others for something very important. So, I must continue to read the books to find out more of the story of my existence.
This was the beginning for me to wake up and know that my purpose is not only to go to school, graduate, get a job, enjoy life like a child enjoys his day at the theme park, collect my retirement and die one day; not saying these things are not important, but this to be the sole purpose of life came in to question for me. Also, looking at it from the other extreme, where man is in dire poverty, has miserable life, exercises patience and perseverance and passes away one day. Was his sole purpose of creation to suffer extreme struggle in this life with no reward what so ever; there must be a purpose of his life and a reward for his suffering. That is what man needs to find out and understand.
Today when we look around us we see suffering of great magnitude, destruction of large nations, wars, greed, crimes of unimaginable proportions. Those who have it made are comfortable with their Tell-Lie-Vision (TV) sets, and those who have nothing have to fend for themselves by any means necessary. Where have we gone wrong, why does the world have to be such a polarized place to live in. The books tell us of nations before us who, like the current ones, didn’t heed the warning signs and caused great mischief on earth, and the Creator then annihilated them; save those who heeded the warning signs. We see proof with archaeology today where grand monuments and houses lay in ruin (Egyptian pyramids, Petra of Jordan; ruins of Madyan in Saudi and so many more).
So I can relate to the stories of the books and can see how the messengers were sent to this world when it had gone in the wrong direction. They gave their warnings and those who heeded, and boarded the ‘arks’ of their time were saved. Today boarding the ark is in knowing the truth about life/existence, and disconnecting from the falsehood that has been built around us. This falsehood tells us our purpose is to amass wealth even at the expense of violating the rights of others; hoard all the natural resources, and who cares if 80% of the world sleeps hungry; trust the media as it is your eyes; politicians are your well wishers; freedom to lie is freedom of speech; 3 person babies are smarter; debt is wealth; you are your own creator; ‘you can do whatever you want’, while knowing fully that you can’t even not breathe, not eat/drink, not fly, not sleep, and have to abide by even the traffic laws.
When we examine the monotheistic religious scriptures in depth (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), we come to this strange yet very important realization that they all are waiting for a Messiah. Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) gives the good news of the coming of the Messiah king who can defy the laws of gravity and walk on water, raise the dead back to life, and do these really cool things called miracles. Moses (pbuh) himself could throw the staff and turn it in to a serpent, even parted the Red sea with it; he could also put his hand in his clothing, bring it out and it glows bright white. Anyhow, so this Messiah is to bring guidance back to the children of Israel, liberate the holy land, and then rule the world as a just king, let me say it again rule the entire world from Jerusalem. It’s a daunting task indeed. 1500 years later, the Messiah did arrive and did many more miracles than prophesied. He could even breathe life in to a clay bird and make it fly away. The establishment of his time, the rabbis rejected him to the point where they wanted him crucified. Jerusalem at the time was occupied by the ‘mighty’ Romans. One day the rabbis showed everyone a man on the cross and said they killed the imposter. Those who witnessed the miracles of Jesus (pbuh) and believed (Christians) were convinced that the Messiah, as he had told them earlier, ascended to the heavens and will return towards the end of time to complete his mission. He will return and kill the false Messiah, and then consolidate his rule over the world.
(pbuh)=peace be upon him/her
Then came Islam after 650 years. Islam’s prophet Muhammad (pbuh) declared that Jesus (pbuh) was the true Messiah and that he is for sure the one to return to rule the world from Jerusalem. He mentioned of his miracle birth, even mentioned another miracle not known before; Jesus (pbuh) spoke from the cradle as an infant telling everyone about his messenger ship. His virgin mother Mary’s (pbuh) complete story is mentioned in Islamic holy book, the Quran. This is just an introduction to this subject; it has immense depth and history behind it. This is where current events of the world and history come together.
I have put together at the link below a comprehensive eschatological analysis along with current geophysical and geopolitical changes that are taking place in the world of today.
Common roots of Islam, Christianity and Judaism are discussed in the article linked below.
Ultimate objective of the anti Christ – Roots of Islam – Christianity and Islam waiting for Jesus (pbuh) explained
Once you connect with the Creator, you start to notice signs. Signs that point to other signs and proofs of what the Creator is showing you is the absolute truth. It’s a subject that can only be experienced, in limited cases demonstrated.
“Human physical design is perfect and can not be perfected further” If this is true, production standards are quite low.
..human physical design….perfect?…maybe, if you got the “mind/brain”, workin’ right, too…and then concentrate on morals and literacy…oh, hell…might as well be a fish…swim in school….
Yes, without the mind, morals, education, and realizing the purpose of his life, man is no different from an animal, and those who cross the line to the evil side are worse than animal.
I would only invite anyone to design it better, and then ask the opposite gender what they think of it.
