RELIGION

“All things came into being through Him, And apart from Him nothing came into being, That has come into being” - John 1:3, the Bible

“Do the unbelievers not realize that the heavens and the earth, Used to be one solid mass from which we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living beings” - The Holy Qu’ran 21:30

Thousands of years before science even recognized energy, religion acknowledged it as the force that sustained life and the interaction between living beings and other objects in the Universe. The ancient Chinese, Japanese, Buddhist, Hindu and Islam religions all recognized that the bodies of living beings derive their energy from the Universe and that mass and energy are inter convertible.

Religions also recognize that we connect with the Universe through our thoughts, words and actions which is why they prescribe prayer, rituals, ceremonies, meditation, oblations and adoption of a moral code of behavior to harmonize our thoughts, words and actions with the Universal Power.

Many religions have ancient systems of medicine, based on recognizing disturbance of energy within a person and using meditation, natural medicines, massage, acupuncture and dietary modifications to restore this balance of energy.

Religions have also helped us define the passage of time, although time is just a human concept. The Gregorian calendar is used internationally and religious calendars are used by Hindus and Muslims for their festivals, ceremonies and pilgrimage.

However, the present becomes the past and the future becomes the present constantly; the past cannot be relived and the future cannot be pre-lived, so the sequence of past, present and future.

The soul is nothing but the energy pervading every cell, tissue, organ and system in the body. It is predominantly neural energy, enabling us to interact with other objects in the Universe. Birth is the condensation of Universal Energy into a living being and death brings about the return of the soul-energy to the Universe.

“(Lord Krishna said to Arjuna:) By Me, in My Unmanifest Form, this entire Universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not them. And yet, everything that is created does not rest in Me. Behold My mystic grandeur! Although I am the maintainer of all living entities, And although I am everywhere, Still, My Self is the very source of creation” -The Bhagavadgita
