Professor Robert Lanza believes that Death is an illusion.
He believes that it is our minds that create space and time.
He believes that Life creates the Universe.
Robert Lanza and Deepak Chopra, in an article entitled Evolution Reigns, but Darwin Outmoded write:
"Darwin's theory of evolution is an enormous over-simplification.
It's helpful if you want to connect the dots and understand the interrelatedness of life on the planet - and it’s simple enough to teach to children between recess and lunch.
"But it fails to capture the driving force and what’s really going on."
Lanza believes that until you observe the sky as blue and the girl as pretty, everything exists in a state of probability.
Some people do not like Lanza's ideas.
Biocentrism Demystified: A Response to Deepak Chopra and Robert Lanza.
Lanza believes that there are many universes.
Lanza explains that everything which can possibly happen is happening at some point across these multiverses.
So, you may think you have died in one universe, but you are still alive in another?
Lanza says that that when we die our life becomes a 'perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.'

Lanza writes: 'Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking.
"When we die, we do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the inescapable-life-matrix.'
Lanza refers to the famous double-slit experiment involving a particle and two slits in a barrier.
When the scientist is watching, the particle goes through one slit or the other.
But, if the scientist is not watching, the particle acts like a wave and can go through both slits at the same time.
This suggests that the behaviour of the particle is decided by the mind of the scientist.

Lanza's Answers to Basic Questions:
What created the Big Bang?
Answer : No ‘dead’ universe ever existed outside of mind (“Nothingness” is a meaningless concept)
Which came first, rocks or life?
Answer: Time is a form of animal intuition.
What IS this universe?
Answer: An active life-based process
This is reflected in the seven principles of biocentrism:
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.'
According to Lisa P., in the book Coming from the Light:
"I was putting three-year-old Johnny to bed...
"Johnny said 'tell me of Grandpa Robert.' I was surprised...I had not told stories of him, and I could not imagine where he had heard his name. He had died before I had even married.
"'How do you know about Grandpa Robert?' I asked. 'Well, Momma,' he said with reverence, 'he's the one who brought me to earth.'"
Dr Bradford Skow says that the past, present and future all exist together
According to the Buddhists, it is best not to keep on being re-incarnated.

'On microscopic scales, particles appear in two places at once.

Answer: Time is a form of animal intuition.
What IS this universe?
Answer: An active life-based process
1st Principle: What we perceive as reality is a process that involves our consciousness.
2nd Principle: Our external and internal perceptions are inextricably intertwined. They are different sides of the same coin and can’t be divorced from one another.
3rd Principle: The behavior of matter is inextricably linked to the presence of an observer.
4th Principle: Without consciousness, “matter” dwells in an undetermined state of probability.
5th Principle: The structure of the universe is explainable only through biocentrism. It’s fine-tuned for life; life creates the universe, not the other way around.
6th Principle: Time doesn’t have a real existence outside of animal intuition.
7th Principle: Space, like time, isn’t an object or thing that has an independent reality.

American philosopher Tim Maudlin says:
Quantum mechanics is telling us that the world is created from an infinitely malleable, 'mind-like' substance that is capable of being formed into absolutely anything 'imaginable.'
In other words, quantum mechanics is telling us that the universe seems to be constructed from an extremely advanced and ordered version of the same fundamental substance that composes our thoughts and dreams.

He points out that according to quantum physics, "the future isn't set until we measure a quantum object - at which point its state becomes fixed.
"Viewed this way, we live on the leading edge of a growing block universe, with future possibilities coming into existence every time we take measurements.
"So each 'now' determines the future, a future that is always just beyond our reach."

Things are made out of tiny 'particles'.
According to the scientists, when you come a cross a 'particle' it does not have a 'fixed state' - until your mind decides what its 'fixed state' will be.
In other words, if you come across Mr Schrödinger's cat lying very still on the grass, the cat is neither dead nor alive - until your mind decides what its 'fixed state' will be.
Let us imagine that you have a very strong feeling that the cat will be alive and well next year.

6. Socrates and Plato argued that beyond what we think is real there lies a world of 'perfect' forms.
"Everything that we see is just a shade, an imitation of how things truly are."
We should see the difference between 'vulgar lust' and 'love for the divine'.
7. According to the Taoists: "We are asked to keep our awareness in two places at once.
"There is no self, yet I exist as a self.
"Laozi says: live in the world of manifest reality... but remain aware of the formless, remain aware of the state that is beyond desire.
"Be in the world, but not of the world."

When Obi-wan Kenobi placed a helmet on Luke's head so he couldn't be distracted, he easily deflected the remote's laser blasts.
The idea is that when you are aware of the 'Tao' and feel 'the force', you can flow with it, and the right action appears for itself, spontaneously.

2. The Tao and Yin and Yang:
When the Tao is in balance one can be happy. (+ X - X rather than +X - 1000X?)
There is Yin and there is Yang (just as there is black and white, up and down, male and female).
'When they are equally present, all is calm.
'When one is outweighed by the other, there is confusion and disarray.
'The Tao surrounds everyone and one must listen to find enlightenment.'
True Taoism does not get bogged down with theology. "The Tao that can be named is not the true Tao."
Taoists love their enemies. "I am good to the man who is good to me, likewise, I am also good to the bad man."

3. Wu wei is action through inaction; ‘a practice of minimal action, particularly minimal violent action’.
Don’t overdo the antibiotics or the pesticides.
Don’t bomb your enemies.
Consider the lilies.
Don't force yourself or others to be compassionate. Be spontaneous.
Genuine love is spontaneous love.

"The Master does not see evil as a force to resist, but simply as an opaqueness, a state of self-absorption that is in disharmony with the universal process, so that, as with a dirty window, the light can't shine through.

"It embodies the harmony of opposites (i.e. there would be no love without hate, no light without dark, no male without female.)"

Where does evil come from?
There can be no ‘good’ without ‘evil’.
"Controlled quantities of the bad can be good.

How should we act?
We should avoid producing unintended consequences.
"Not taking premature or unnecessary actions keeps all of one's options open, so that the most appropriate action remains available.
"Actions always elicit reactions.
"Each action taken provokes reactions from all quarters that, taken together, are always more powerful than the precipitous action itself. It is the ultimate definition of the inescapable law of unintended consequences."
"To follow the dao (path) of life is to go with the natural flow of life and to avoid going against it.
"The ethical theories of Taoism lean toward passive resistance, believing that evil, by definition, will ultimately destroy even itself without undue interference.
"Yet it would be a mistake to regard Taoism as fatalistic and pessimistic, instead of the ultimate sophistication in optimism that it is.
"Only by not applying effort can one achieve that state in which nothing is not attainable effortlessly.
"A little ambition is a good thing. Total elimination, even of undesirables, is an extreme solution, and it is therefore self-defeating.
"Life is a prison from which one can escape only if one does not try to escape. It is the desire to escape that makes a place a prison, and the desire to return that makes it a home. Home is not where one is, it is where one wants to return."

Unknown commented -
There was substantial belief in reincarnation in the ancient Western world as well as the East; this percolated through to the Christian era, as with Origen from around 185-254 CE whom Aangirfan notes above.
Although in some ways, the Western reincarnation ideas can seem a faded echo, of more richly-developed reincarnation notions coming out of ancient Asia particularly India.
Yet there are some distinctive twists in the West.
The famed pre-Socratic early teacher of ancient Greek wisdom, Pythagoras of Samos - around 570-495 BCE - is widely held to have affirmed reincarnation, well before Plato of 427-347 BCE spoke of it.
In between them, there is a unique picture of reincarnation given by the great Greek poet Pindar of Thebes, who lived around 518-438 BCE.
In distinction to the Hindu or Buddhist type of view, that you only get free of the cycle of rebirths, when you truly transcend all the web of narrow limitations in your consciousness - Pindar put it more simply: Pindar said that once a person, even of humble station, lived three lives in succession, which fully embodied righteousness and good behaviour toward other beings Then that person entered forever, the most blissful paradise.

ReplyDeleteI don’t believe in the myth that just at the moment of watching/deciding that a cat is dead or alive your wish/thought of the cat being alive or dead becomes true. If that were so, we could all be magicians and that we know is not the case. I could change my mind about this myth if many people watching the same cat at the same moment/time would see a dead and a living cat.only psychotics could see that. So the double slit at least the interpretation of it is in my view just the way we are brain wired by god/or whatever to see/interpret the things as we are supposed to see according to this god/ to function in this worldly reality.
