Reminder of Basic Religious Concepts

  • Principles of Art

    • In order to create something beautiful, you need to use the eraser
    • Because art is not about filling the whole paper with all the colours
    • Because then you'll get black (because of subtractive mixing due to absorption of light)
    • Analogy:
      • Peace along with freedom is guaranteed in coexistence only by discipline
      • When someone breaks free of the law, they have to be restrained
    • Detail:
      • Law enforcement punishes people to prevent crime
      • Defence forces kill people to prevent crime
      • Sensual intimacy is restricted to prevent sex addiction and overpopulation
  • Nature of Existence

    • The whirlpool in an ocean thinks it has a separate identity from the ocean
    • Analogy:
      • Space is not a region far away from you, but rather, you are in the universe, and you are the universe.
      • This analogy "you are the universe" is not to be taken in a wondrous or mystical sense
      • Rather, it is to be taken literally "you ARE the universe" - just think at the subatomic level
    • Detail:
      • Universe has a simultaneously definite and flowing structure
      • So do the oceans, they have a lot of phenomena in it
    • Appendix:
      • Space is not just free space, but rather it is descriptive of all the force fields
      • That is, what we have come to describe as spacetime and quantum fields
      • According to General Relativity, the curvature of space is called mass
      • More technically it is described by a stress-energy-momentum-pressure tensor
      • And the quantum field tensors are embedded in such a tensor
    • Limits of Contemporary Science:
      • The limits of our knowledge stop us at describing quantum fields in a changing spacetime
