God - A Quest
by Saurabh Bhattacharya
Welcome to the biggest treasure hunt of all. The game plan is simple.
Like all treasure hunts, we start with a map. Only, in this case, the
map will not be in our hands. It'll lie in our headuncharted, unmarked,
and incompletelike a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces will emerge as we
proceed on our quest. Pieces that will continually shift shape, size and
color, much in tune with the seeker's frame of mind. My clue will not
be the same as your clue; your map will not be the same as mine.
The rules
are simple. There are none. No winners or losers. No time limit or starting
point. The only thing common among all participants will be the unquenchable
thirst to know, to seek, and to finally find
And in
this hunt, God's decision will be final.
Some people say there is a God; others say there is no God. The truth
probably lies somewhere in between.
W.B. Yeats
First things
first. Why do we need to search for God? We all know that He (She? It?)
is somewhere taking care of thingsor not. The believers have their
belief, the atheists their disbelief, and the agnostics their ambivalence.
Then why bother?
To answer this, let me share with you a joke. Quite aptly, it is in first
person and is true for any faith, Eastern or Western:
I was walking
across a bridge one day, and I saw a man about to jump off. I immediately
ran over and said:
"Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.
I said: "Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Well... are you religious or atheist?"
"Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?"
"Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
"Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of
the Lord?"
"Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed
Baptist Church of God?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of
1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"
"Reformation of 1915!"
To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.
Maybe. But jokes are merely humorous shields that protect us from the
horrific face of reality that something is really going wrong in the
world. Temples are being torn down, statues broken, towers decimated,
even food bannedall because you do not agree with my view of God.
It doesn't matter that perhaps you too have a view of God that is equally
true. It doesn't matter that perhaps neither of us actually know what
God is all about. I think you, and anyone else who does not believe
in my God, is not worthy of living.
So, what's
up, God? How does it feel to be fought over so mercilessly and stupidly?
How does it feel to be called upon to save one country while the armies
of that country bombard another nation to bits? How does it feel to be
worshipped, revered, followed by and prayed to by a humanity that actually
has absolutely no clue about Youabout who You are, where You came
from, why You are, what You are, whether You actually are or not?
As the till now only rational and intelligent species on this planet, I
think the least we could try and do is get to know God a bit more before
actually believing (or disbelieving). And the sooner the better, before
all the heretic scum of the world throw the rest of the heretic scum off
the bridge of evolution.
At that point,
will there still be a God to fight over? I wonder!
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.
to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word 'god' came into being
in English before the 12th century AD. But it is certain that the concept
of God is much older than the oldest of all spoken language.
Exactly how
old is this concept?
Our first
clue lies in anthropology, particularly in the works of a Prof Christopher
Stringer of London's Natural History Museum. While searching for the
origin of humanity as Homo sapiens, Prof Stringer discovered that Homo
Sapiens were actually one of four subspecies to come out of Africa a
million years ago. All these subspecies practiced a crude form of ritual
burial of their dead that could well be termed religious.
this in his The Drama of the Holy, American sociologist T.R.
Young notes: "The most ancient religious practices were associated
with the cult of the dead and the use of skulls for magic. The Dragon-bone
caves near Peiping (now Beijing) in China are around 5,00,000 years
old. Bodies in those caves were decapitated and the skulls emptied.
Skull cups were used for drinking... and thus for the magical transfer
of mana (the immortal spirit)
This might
be a far cry from the God that we profess to know today, but it definitely
shows the first recognition (or should one say discovery?) of some form
of being that exists within, and yet beyond this material world. Mankind's
search for God began with this little spark.
For our ancestors,
however, the origin of a God-concept perhaps had a cause more basic
than that of gaining knowledge from dead predecessorsand that
was the dilemma of mortality. Unlike humans, all other animals are born
with a set of instincts that enable them to function independently from
an early age. They mature, mate, struggle against the elements, and
eventually die.
But humans were
born with advanced reasoning abilities and few instincts. They felt insignificant,
and insecure in the face of natural forces and their own finite lifespan.
As Matthew Alper, neurologist and author of The 'God' Part of the Brain,
puts it: "With the emergence of self-conscious awareness, a life
form became cognizant of the fact that it is going to die. More terrifying
yet, death could befall us at anytime."
People do not like chronic anxiety. Some coping mechanism had to be developed.
So, in order to cope with what theologian Paul Tillich later termed 'this
shock of non-being', our ancestors conceptualized animismthe first
bona fide religion whose roots go back to the Paleolithic period.
The term
'animism' is derived from the Latin word anima, meaning breath
or soul. In this belief system, a soul or spirit existed in every object,
even if it was inanimate. In a future state this soul or spirit would
exist as part of an immaterial soul. The spirit, therefore, was thought
to be universal and came to be signified as God.
But then
there was no one God. Because every thing on earthanimate or inanimatehad
a spirit, everything symbolized God. All were True, and all had their
unique functions. Praying to any spirit was not an act to further personal
transcendenceit was merely aimed at appeasing the relevant spirit
so that the required end could be achieved. If you wanted to cut a tree,
you first paid your respects to the tree's spirit and prayed for it
not to get angry, as this was purely business. The same logic applied
to totems and idols.
in early animism, if the worshipper didn't seem to get the required
benefit from a specific totem or idol, he or she moved on to look for
a more efficient one. This value-based approach towards various gods,
coupled with the establishing of families and tribes, led to the creation
of a divine hierarchy. The less effective gods inhabited the lowest
rungs of the ladder and the more potent ones were promoted by the faithful.
Along with
the establishment of a so-called 'divine' hierarchy, another feature
was added to the formlessness of Godgender. From being a problematic
and mystical neuter concept in its earliest manifestations, God was
slowly but surely becoming comfortably human.
If triangles had a God, He'd have three sides.
Old Yiddish proverb
As societies
became more complex, God was conceptualized in all aspects of life,
animate or inanimate, and there also began a proper process of worship
and reverence. But mere propitiation of an un-definable God was not
enough. As scholar Karen Armstrong notes in her best-selling book A
History of God: "Naturally people wanted to get in touch with
this reality and make it work for them, but they also simply wanted
to admire it. When they personalized the unseen forces and made them
gods possessing human characteristics, they were expressing their sense
of affinity with the unseen and with the world around them."
So the
mystery of a fertile nature that provided bountiful crop in the Paleolithic
period was symbolized by the Mother Goddess, and artists gave her the
shape of a naked, pregnant woman. In fact, sculptures representing the
Mother Goddess are some of the earliest images of God that archaeologists
have discovered, a classic example of which is the Willendorf Venus,
dated circa 3,00,000 BC
Says Prof
Kunal Chakrabarti, who teaches history of religion at the Jawaharlal Nehru
University, New Delhi, India: "All primitive religions from the earliest
Neolithic period, were based on goddesses. There was no concept of god
because the goddess symbolized the feminine principle of fecundity, and
man's role in the creative process was not understood."
This veneration persisted in agrarian civilizations that developed on
the banks of rivers, such as the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian cultures.
For them, woman was the source of life. God was female for at least the
first 2,00,000 years of human life on earth!
But to
nomadic pastoral civilizations, God resided not in the fertile earth
but in the rain cloud-bearing sky. And this God was a strong male whose
voice was thunder and whose frown lightning. He was the all-powerful
Sky God who made rain happen to re-green dried pastures for cattle.
As religious scholar Mircea Eliade notes: "The Heavenly Father
is the Supreme Being typical of nomads who live on their herds; the
herds live on pastures, and these in turn depend on rain from the sky."
He was the Indo-European pastoral tribes' Dyaus Pitar, who later transformed
into the Greek Zeus, the Roman Jupiter, and the Vedic Indra.
history tells us how, over time, nomadic tribes of Europe and Asia assimilated
the cultures of various agricultural civilizations. As the two cultures
overlapped, a celestial marriage took place-between Dyaus Pitar and
the Mother Goddess. Notes Dr Young: "Out of changes from hunting
and gathering spirits to fixed agriculture came the transformations
of god into the universal male sky-god..."
In Hinduism,
however, the Mother Goddess retained her place of importance as Shakti,
the creative force that, paradoxically, completely upstaged the creator
figure of Brahma. "Although Brahma has been given the role of creator
in the Hindu pantheon," notes Prof Chakrabarti, "he is not
the active agent. That position was eventually taken up by Shakti, a
Brahman-like feminine concept adopted, transformed, sophisticated and
internalized by the Vedic tradition from the various indigenous traditions
of India."
The Hindu
example notwithstanding, the advent of settled agriculture and ideas
of property rights saw to it that the creative role of the Mother Goddess
was handed over to the paternal Sky God. The gender change was complete.
She had become the patriarchal, omnipotent He.
God...a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power
to conceive.
Ayn Rand, philosopher-author
So much
for God's history. But is it enough? Perhaps not. As Prof Chakrabarti
put it when I asked him how history would define God: "In our studies,
we simply assume that there are gods and goddesses, and then we move
on to trace their origin. History can define religions, faiths, rituals,
society, but not God."
In other
words, history can only help provide a perception. The job of defining
God falls in the lap of philosophy. As the sage once said: "What
is perceived is never real, what is real never perceived."
The basis
of philosophy has been doubt, which works as a counterpoint to the faith
that religion builds itself on. It is, therefore, not surprising that
throughout the world philosophy evolved in tandem with religion. The more
organized religion demanded blind faith in rites and rituals, the more
philosophy came to the fore.
Interestingly, though, ancient eastern philosophy never negated religion
it in fact complemented it with metaphysics. So, while Vedic priests gave
oblations to Indra, Prajapati, and Agni, they also never ceased to question
this perception of God. A telling example of this paradox can be found
in parts of the Creation Hymn of the Rig Veda, arguably the earliest
philosophical, and religious, treatise of the world:
really knows? Who will here proclaim it? Whence was it produced?
Whence is this Creation? The Gods came afterwards, with the Creation
of this Universe. Who then knows whence it has arisen?
Whence this Creation has arisen-perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps
it did not. The One who looks down on it, in the highest heaven,
only he knows-or perhaps he does not know.
Rig Veda X:129, translated by Prof Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty
Later Vedic philosophers recognized the fact that all the anthropomorphic
gods and goddesses worshipped since the dawn of civilization are nothing
more than symbols for the greater Truth. They are essential, because of
the role they play in helping people identify with the idea of divinity,
but the true God is way beyond the pantheon. Scholars denote the period
between 800 BC and 200 AD as the classical or Brahmanical period of Hinduism.
It is during this period that the concept of an ultimate reality, a Brahman,
came to being in an attempt to define the greater Truth.
this concept of Brahman, Prof Chakrabarti says: "Brahman is an
idea. It does not have form. You cannot conceive it in any form except
as a source of effulgence. That is the ultimate reality and every god
is a manifestation of that." Although in pockets within Hinduism ,
such as Shaivism and Vaishnavism, the prime deity will often be identified
with Brahman, Prof Chakrabarti adds that when philosophers "try
to straddle over these sectarian differences and create an overarching
religious formation, they tend to say that there is basically no difference".
Brahmanic writings flesh out the notion of the reality that permeates
the cosmos, which the Rig Vedic Creation Hymn called "the
The pursuit
of God has led to the creation of two major trends of inquiry in philosophy.
On the one hand, I can look at a mountain or a forest and see these
as external objects that God creates, which are not literally part of
God. God transcends or rises above the things in the world, and is beyond
even the cosmos. To communicate with God, I must look beyond this finite
created world and seek God in a secluded realm. Western religious traditions
of Judaism , Christianity
and Islam typically depict God in this way. Reflect on these lines from medieval
Christian theologian St. Thomas Aquinas' spiritual classic Summa
Theologica (A Summing Up of Theology):
nature works for a determinate end under the direction of a higher agent,
whatever is done by nature must need be traced back to God, as to its
first cause. So also whatever is done voluntarily must also be traced
back to some higher cause other than human reason or will, since these
can change or fail; for all things that are changeable and capable of
defect must be traced back to an immovable and self-necessary first
On the other
hand, I can look at the same mountain and forest and see these as parts
of God. God is not external to the cosmos, but dwells within it or is
immanent to it. On this view, God dwells within me too since I am part
of the cosmos. To communicate with God I look within myself, and not to
a secluded divine realm beyond the cosmos. Communication with God, then,
involves a mystical experience by which I become aware of my union with
God. Eastern religious traditions gravitate towards this concept of an
indwelling or immanent God. Consider these lines from ancient Chinese
philosopher and founder of Taoism Lao Tse's Tao Te Ching:
Way that can be described is not the absolute Way;
The name that can be given is not the absolute name.
Nameless it is the source of heaven and earth;
Named it is the mother of all things.
But philosophy
does not always affirm the existence of God. The search of many thinkers
seeking God, in fact, went the other way as wellwhere God did not
exist or was nonessential to the scheme of things. Examples of this can
be found in the ancient Indian system called Sankhya, considered one of
the six main schools of thought in Indian philosophy. Notes scholar Debiprasad
Chattopadhyaya in his book Indian Philosophy: "As in the Upanishads,
distinct effort was made in the Sankhya to arrive at the first cause of
the world. But the view arrived at was fundamentally different. Sankhya
not only rejected the Brahman but emphatically denied the existence of
In the Sankhya worldview, since the world was essentially material, its
cause too must have been material. This cause was called prakriti
or pradhana, the primeval matter in its subtle form. Because of
its subtlety, Sankhya argued, this matter could not be directly perceived
but it remained essentially material and not metaphysical.
While Sankhya
denied God, one of the greatest philosopher-saints of IndiaGautam
Buddhamade it clear that God could even be irrelevant to the creation
of a religion. " Buddhism ,"
says Prof Chakrabarti, "never even discusses God. In the Buddhist
scheme of things, it is Man who is important and must transcend the
eternal cycle of rebirth and suffering. God has nothing to do with it."
aware of the suffering that dogs man throughout life, the Buddha sought
to create a practical religion that provided a way out of this interminable
suffering without taking recourse to divine grace. The cycle of suffering
could be broken only by following the eight-fold path of righteousness.
Much later,
communist thinker Karl Marx and existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul
Sartre vehemently negated the concept of God in their philosophies.
While Marx dubbed religion 'opium of the masses', Sartre championed
the cause of the individual over and above anything divine. But unlike
Marx, Sartre's existentialism echoes to a large extent the thought of
Buddhism in that he accepts the reality of suffering and denies man
the comfort of escaping from the responsibility of suffering by claiming
faith in God. In his thought-provoking essay 'Existentialism is a Humanism',
Sartre explains: "Existentialism declares that even if God existed
that would make no difference
Not that we believe that God does
exist, but we think that the real problem is not that of His existence;
what man needs is to find himself again and to understand that nothing
can save him from himself, not even a valid proof of the existence of
the Way, immanent, omniscient, affirmed, negatedthe definitions
are numerous but none of them still seem to answer the moot question
of proof. Philosophy laid the groundwork for this search for proof,
and, over time, two kinds of thinkers decided to further the search
in their own unique way. While the mystic sought God in the depth of
his deepest experiential soul, the scientist turned the magnifying glass
towards the material logic of the universe. The arguments continued
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the
ocean merges into the drop.
When Swami Vivekananda , the noted 19th century Indian philosopher-saint, began
seeking God as a youth, he asked luminaries from all faiths and philosophies
just one question: "Have you seen God?" None of the answers
satisfied him till he met Ramakrishna, an illiterate Bengali mystic.
When asked if he had seen God, Ramakrishna
laughed and said: "But of course! I see Her the way I see you.
I talk to Her everyday!"
The rational
mind of young Vivekananda simply refused to believe Ramakrishna's words.
Only later, as he became closer to the saint, did Vivekananda realize
that Ramakrishna really did have a unique relationship with Goda
relationship that was irrational and yet divinely logical, idiosyncratic
and yet thoughtfully individual. For Ramakrishna, God was not out there
as a reasoned-out persona; God was within. He was God. God was he.
What philosophy
theorized, the mystic experienced every second of his life.
trying to define mysticism, Donald Broadribb, theologian and author of
The Mystical Chorus: Jung and the Religious Dimension, notes: "'Mysticism'
is a difficult word to define, although the experience is fairly easy
to describe. The closest mystics have been able to come to a description
is to say that it is a direct encounter with Godan encounter without
anything or anyone intervening, neither prayers, rituals, doctrines, priests
nor teachers."
more ways than one, the mystic is an island unto himself. Because of the
deeply experiential nature of his God perception, rarely can other people
comprehend it. At the same time, the mystic has no patience with either
the logic of philosophy or the rituals of organized religion. As the iconoclast
mystic Kabir once said:
Yogi, the Sanyasi, the Ascetics, are disputing one with another:
Kabir says: 'O brother! He who has seen that radiance of love,
he is saved.'
(Poems of Kabir, translated by Rabindranath Tagore)
And yet
it is only in the experience of the mystic that we can hope to find
the most potent clue of God. For, despite apparent differences, there
is an underlying common ground to every mystical vision or experience
that simply cannot be discounted as the ravings of a lunatic or hallucinations
of a fevered mind.
"In a
mystical experience," says R.C. Zaehner, former professor of Eastern
religions at Oxford and author of Mysticism: Sacred and Profane,
"there is a direct apperception of the Deity; the mystic knows that
God is in him and with him; his body has literally become a 'temple of
the Holy Ghost'
It is a unitive experience with someone or something
other than oneself." Thus Husayn ibn Mansur al Hallaj, a Muslim mystic
of AD 922, speaks of his unity with God:
me and Thee there lingers an "it is I" that torments
Ah, of Thy grace, take this "I" from between us!
I am He whom I love, and He whom I love is I,
We are two spirits dwelling in one body.
If thou seest Him, thou seest us both.
(Extracted from From Primitives to Zen, edited by Mircea Eliade)
to Broadribb, though, union is just one major leitmotif of the mystical
mind. The other is what he calls 'communion'. Broadribb explains the
two concepts thus: "Many mystics hold that they merge or unite
with God. They often call this the unitive experience. In the God-focused
religious traditions, this is taken to mean that there is a total union
between God and person so that they are no longer two, but one
In communion mysticism, the mystic feels that the personality meets
God person-to-person, in the same way that two persons meet but do not
So, while
the Sufi
mystic Jalal-ud-din Rumi express his union with God:
have put duality away. I have seen that the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the
(Extracted from From Primitives to Zen, edited by Mircea
The Biblical prophet Isaiah describes his visionary communion with God thus:
saw the Lord sitting on an elevated throne. His skirts filled
the temple. Seraphs stood above him, each with six wings.
Each covered its face with two, and with two it flew.
They called out to each other: "Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh
His glory fills the entire earth."
The hinges of the gates shook at the sound of their shouting.
The room was filled with incense.
(Bible: Isaiah 6, translated by Donald Broadribb)
Broadribb, however, admits that the distinction between union and communion
is in actuality not so clear-cut. Frequently a mystical experience belongs
to both the types. A classic example can be found in the works of mystic-philosopher
Sri Aurobindo. In 'The Indwelling Universe', one of his later poems, he
contain the whole world in my soul's embrace:
To me Arcturus and Belphegor burn.
To whatsoever living form I turn
I see my own body with another face
My vast transcendence holds the cosmic whirl;
I am hid in it as in the sea a pearl.
The basic
mystical experience can, therefore, be termed as the experience of being
flooded with the sense of being one with God and yet remaining an individual,
an indispensable link in the whole. As metaphysical poet John Donne put
it: "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind."
what exactly does the mystic see in his vision? What is the face of God
that so overwhelms him? According to Broadribb, the form that any mystical
experience takes relies heavily upon the cultural-belief system of the
experiencer. As a result, God, says Broadribb, "has come to be understood
more and more as an inner experience and less and less as an identifiable
'object' existing apart from the individual". I see God in whatever
form I wish to see. The focus is not the feature of God but that God is
and that I am and both are in complete union.
experience," says Broadribb, "tends to be understood as finding
the divine 'spark' that actually is the kernel around which individual
personality is formed, and this kernel is the same kernel around which
all other individuals' personalities are formed, so that all persons
are manifestations of a single extra-cosmic God."
Is such
a union unique only to mystics? Absolutely not, declares Swami Vivekananda
in his book Raja Yoga. Describing the process of mysticism, he
writes: "The mind itself has a higher state of existence
superconscious state, and when the mind rises to that state, then metaphysical
and transcendental knowledge comes to man. This state of going beyond
reason, beyond ordinary human knowledge, may sometimes come by chance
to a man who does not understand its science; he stumbles upon it, as
it were. When he stumbles upon it, he generally interprets it as coming
from outside. This explains why transcendental knowledge may be the
same in different countries, but in one country it will seem to come
through an angel, and in another a deva, and in a third through God."
goes on to state that mystics or 'prophets' were just human beings like
the rest of us who gained super-consciousness through the practice of
yoga: "The very fact that one man ever reached that state proves
that it is possible for every man to do so. Not only is it possible,
but every man must eventually reach that state."
The probability
that God is yet another manifestation of a superconscious frame of mind
is furthered in the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, spiritual teacher
and creator of Transcendetal Meditation. According to him, there are
seven states of consciousness. The first three states-dreamless sleep,
dreaming, waking-are 'relative states' where the awareness of the self
is absent, the awareness of the outer world present only while awake,
and the awareness of the Absolute 'discoverable by intellect'.
Consciousness' follows these, where the awareness of the self is present
but that of the outer world and the Absolute absent. Then come 'Cosmic
Consciousness', 'God Consciousness', and 'Unity'. In the last three
stages, awareness of both the self and the outer world is present. The
paradox of the Absolute remains perceptible in Cosmic Consciousness,
then gets partially resolved while in God Consciousness and is finally
resolved with Unity.
what the Maharishi means by God Consciousness, Anthony Campbell, author
of Seven Stages of Consciousness, says: "Maharishi is not
talking about God as an object of belief, or even, primarily, worship;
he is saying that to someone whose awareness has reached this stage
the world is 'glorified' and takes on a personal quality
The world
is suffused with the light of Being, which in this state is seen to
be personal."
When the
mind reaches the stage of Unity, the world and the Being become one.
Says the Maharishi: "Philosophers call this a mystical experience,
but it is no more mysterious than is the working of a clock to a child.
On one level of consciousness it is normal, on another it is mysterious,
and again on another it is impossible."
What is this
light of Being, this transcendent knowledge? Where does it come from and,
more importantly, why is it there? If this is God, then why is it so?
The mystic has no answer to such questions, for these questions hold no
meaning to him, steeped as he is in the knowledge itself.
the other seeker of God, the scientist, demands cogent answers to these
questions, for he has neither the blanket of the believer to feel snug
in nor the intoxication of the mystic to revel in. All he has is skepticism,
keen curiosity and a desire to understand the wonder of design and intelligence
in the creation all around him.
superficially mysticism and science are as close to each other as chalk
and cheese, there is an innate similarity between the two that is coming
to light only with recent advances in physics. In many ways, today's
scientist is also today's mystic. And it is in his work that we may
find the next clue of our hunt.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there
be one, he must approve the homage of reason.
Thomas Jefferson, American statesman-philosopher.
For a long
while after Newton's pioneering discovery of the laws of motion, science
remained restricted to mechanics. Notes physicist Fritjof Capra in his
The Tao of Physics: "The stage of the Newtonian universe
was a three-dimensional space, an absolute space always at rest and
All changes in the physical world were described in
terms of a separate dimension called time, which again was absolute,
having no connection with the material world and flowing smoothly from
past through present to the future."
The elements
of this Newtonian world were material particlessmall, solid and
indestructible objects out of which matter was made that were bound
to each other through the interplay of a force Newton termed gravity.
"The particles and the forces between them," says Capra, "were
seen as created by God and thus were not subject to further analysis
the Newtonian view, God had created, in the beginning, the material
particles, the forces between them, and the fundamental law of motion.
In this way, the whole universe was set in motion and it has continued
to run ever since, like a machine, governed by immutable laws."
But modern
physics has changed this Newtonian worldview completely. And one of
the main contributors in this change has been quantum physics.
to the physics we learnt at school, the basic building block of matter
is the atom, which, unlike the Newtonian model, is not solid or absolute.
In fact, the atom consists of a nucleus, formed of positively charged
protons and a neutral particle, neutron, and electrons that orbit the
nucleus, not unlike our solar system. Even the subatomic particles are
not absolutes in their form. "At the subatomic level," notes
Capra, "matter does not exist with certainty
but shows 'tendencies
to exist'
At the subatomic level, the solid material objects of
classical physics dissolve into wavelike patterns of probabilitiesnot
probabilities of things, but rather probabilities of interconnectedness."
In other
words, in the world according to quantum physics there are no 'basic
building blocks' but a complicated web of relations between various
parts of the whole that always include the observer as well. Says Gary
Zukav in his book on new physics The Dancing Wu Li Masters: "According
to quantum mechanics, there is no such thing as objectivity. We cannot
eliminate ourselves from the picture. We are a part of nature, and when
we study nature there is no way around the fact that nature is studying
The philosophical
implications of such a scientific theory are startling, to say the least.
As Zukav puts it, because there is no observer, there is no possibility
of any predetermined standpoint. "The new physics," says Zukav,
"tells us clearly that it is not possible to observe reality without
changing it. If we observe a certain particle collision experiment
result that we get is affected by the fact that we were looking for it."
Whatever is is because we choose to observe it as such.
At this point enters the great paradox of quantum physicsif all
is interconnected in a mesh of possibilities, what makes possibilities
actual? As DR Amit Goswami, professor of physics at the University of
Oregon and author of the controversial book The Self-Aware Universe:
How Consciousness Creates The Material World, put it in a recent magazine
interview with What Is Enlightenment?: "How can a brain, which
is made up of atoms and elementary elements, convert a possibility wave
that it itself is?"
DR Goswami
claims to have an answer to this paradox-an answer that, in fact, can
be termed the first-ever proof of God. And this is: consciousness.
is the ground of being," says DR Goswami. "So who converts
possibility into actuality? Consciousness does, because consciousness
does not obey quantum physics. Consciousness is not made of material.
Consciousness is transcendent."
DR Goswami's
theory is based on a unique experiment conducted by physicist Alain
Aspect in 1982 in France. In this, an atom emitted two photons (subatomic
elements of light) that were going in opposite directions. Somehow,
explains DR Goswami, these photons affected one another's behavior at
a distance, without exchanging any signals through space, but instantaneously
affecting each other.
to Einstein, two objects can never affect each other instantly in space
and time because every signal must travel through space at a finite
time, and with the maximum speed limit of light. "But these photons,"
says DR Goswami, "were doing it faster than the speed of light.
And therefore, it follows that the influence could not have traveled
through space. Instead, the influence must belong to a domain of reality
that we must recognize as the transcendent domain-the domain of consciousness."
What DR
Goswami seems to have proven at the subatomic level finds an echo in
the macro level in the works of neuroscientist Karl Pribram and physicist
David Bohm-creators of the holographic paradigm.
A hologram
is a unique form of three-dimensional photographic image, every part
of which, if seen in isolation, contains the full image. According to
Bohm and Pribram, the world around us is nothing more than an illusiona
holographic image that our brains mathematically construct by interpreting
frequencies from another dimension, a transcendent realm of meaningful
and patterned reality. The brain, in short, is a hologram interpreting
a holographic universe.
Could this
transcendental realm, this consciousness, actually be God?
As science
proceeds on seemingly revolutionary lines, the gap between the vision
of the mystic and the results of an experiment lessens. Words such as
'consciousness', 'transcendence', 'universality', once part of a mystical
vocabulary aimed at defining the Undefinable, now find way in normal
science-speak to explain the inexplicable. A final meeting-ground seems
to be just around the corner.
Then why
not turn to that corner and see what the next clue of this quest is?
You found God? If nobody claims him in thirty days, he's yours!
Author unknown
It is a mirror.
No theories, no ideas, no history, no science. Just a mirror that reflects
all that we were, we areand we will be. I cannot tell you what this
mirror shows to you, for that is for you to see and decide. Does it show
you God? Does it show you Man? Does it show you nothing? Or does it show
you everything?

The first Thursday of each month is Italian night at London's Ace Cafe, so before the 160-mile round trip becomes a teeth-grittingly sub-zero affair, I made the effort to head down after work a few weeks back. The promise of clear skies and good company kept spirits high on the 5.30pm slog down the A1, thankfully against the tide of London's ...

This was our second time at the cottage house and it is really lovely. It accomodates our family with plenty of room. We take our family of 5 plus daughters boyfriend, mom and my brother and his girlfriend and daughter. The kitchen is small but for quick meals it is fine. The walking distance to the beach is 1 block and it is a pretty walk. We love this cottage and will go back.
4,6 sur septembre 11, 2011
My husband and I have stayed here several times. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are cozy. The breakfast is great. We will return again next year.
3,8 sur août 27, 2011
Rooms and Inn personnel are all excellent. Comfortable, very clean, and the location and amenities are outstanding. We stayed in the Plaza suite room - the only disappointment was the comfort of the extra fold-a-bed for the 5th person. The bed springs or bed needs to be replaced. Otherwise all was a delight. We did not take the breakfast option, preferring instead to discover local restaurants.
4,0 sur août 22, 2011
We felt the staff did an excellent job of attending to our needs and paid particular attention to us as individuals and not just another guest. Advice on what to do and where to go, where to eat was offered without having to ask. The personal touch of the young lady who serviced our room was clever, unique and heartwarming.
4,6 sur août 06, 2011
We had a wonderful time at the Avon Manor. Breakfasts were awesome. Peter, one of the innkeepers, was the definition of what a gracious host should be. I highly recommend staying here if you want a great place at the Jersey shore. Larry Weissman
4,4 sur juillet 19, 2011
breakfast choices were great; best french toast I have had in ages!!! Loved the rooms we checked out - like I believe #3,4 all the 2nd floor rooms very nice. All very clean. We have stayed in a couple in Spring Lake, Ocean Grove and liked the Avon area very much. The biggest downside to our stay was the next door house hammering all day and late into the night on Friday.
4,8 sur juillet 16, 2011
Innkeepers very accomodation and helpful. Cleaning staff incredible....best I've ever seen. Very comfortable in rooms. Close to beach. Can't think of one thing to complain about!! We will be back to the Avon Manor!!!
5 sur juillet 14, 2011
Just spent my fifth time at the Inn...he keeps adding things...Saw large rental house he has now available and will be back with my family. My ony advice is to go to his website avonmanor.com it has more information. Thanks Again!
3,0 sur juillet 10, 2011
the cottage was very small, but adequate. the location was great and the cottage was clean. the rooms did not have closets, so it needed to have more places to hang clothes and there was nowhere to hang wet bathing suits and towels to dry.
3,0 sur juillet 09, 2011
Lovely stay with friendly, helpful hosts. We will be back to Avon. One pet peeve -- reminders to tip the help. once is enough. notes posted at breakfast and in the rooms.
4,6 sur juin 30, 2011
Loved our short stay at Avon Manor. Jim was great - breakfast was spectacular - best omelet ever! Pristine surroundings - will definitely be back.
5 sur mai 30, 2011
We had a great time at Avon Manor. It was a quick drive from the city at 45 minutes and very easy to find. The place itself was great and the rooms were very nice and comfortable. I liked the two skylights in our room. They were a great way to take in the ocean breezes. The service was top-notch. The staff was very helpful and Jim/Greg are great guys. Breakfast was perfect. Nice portions and a good selection. Quick service that went late into the morning, which is great if you like to sleep in like us. The complimentary passes to the Atlantic Club were a nice perk. The compound is close by and has everything imaginable. Avon-by-the-sea is a great area and very walkable. We would come back.
4,8 sur avril 20, 2009
Thanks for all the extras. I also didn't get to do some things because I didn't got to their website first. Also they have the best rates on their site, I found out after. Other than my mistakes, we had fun. Thanks to the staff who bent over backwords.
5 sur avril 14, 2009
We loved our romantic room with our jacuzzi. This was exactly how we wanted to bring in the new year. We cannot wait to return!
5 sur avril 12, 2009
My mistake was not going to thier website before we went. They had golf at an exclusive Country Club and didn't know that till I got there. So next time. Very unique breakfast you get to pick off a menu so for the first time I got exactly what I wanted not the one choice of the day. We went with friends and already booked for May. We were very happy and the new Innkeeper and new amenities are great.
5 sur avril 12, 2009
I never sleept on 600 thread count sheets. Owner sold me a set since I couldn't go home to mine after them. Thanks for everything!
5 sur avril 10, 2009
I had not been there in over a year and glad I came back. New amenities and rooms. The Heath Club and Spa are worth the trip. Innkeeper gave me a freee pass on my way home. Stayed there all day in the pool and hot tub. Also took advantage of the Country Club Golf. Nicest Country club I have ever seen. The breakfast is way too big, I will never eat again, and the choices! I was very happy with the room and staff as well. Unfortunatly it rained the entire time but unlike other places we have been we had plenty of options. Hope to return in the sun.
5 sur juin 24, 2008
My girlfriend and I spent the weekend at Avon Manor, and boy, were we satisfied by our experience! The innkeepers were lovely, very friendly with a dry sense of humor and an eager willingness to please their guests. The room we stayed in was very cute, with our own private bath (a great find considering the relatively low cost of the room), air conditioning, and, a very comfy queen sized bed. The breakfast is, in one word, INCREDIBLE. I know it sounds exaggerated but we both agreed that the breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. I challenge anyone to find a better omelette or fluffier pancakes in NJ! All in all this was a very pleasant experience. We have already agreed that this is going to be "our place" for years to come. Highly Recommended!

Financial Fate Financial Planning Software
by CI Staff
As more people are living longer, many worry that they will outlive their retirement savings. One way to help determine whether you have realistic retirement expectations, and whether you will have the money necessary to retire the way you want, is by using financial planning software. For non-financial planners, this often means using a Web-based resource or personal financial software such as Quicken. Another software-based solution is Financial Fate, which offers robust "what-if" analysis to help you see if you will be financially solvent in the future or on the road to bankruptcy.
Getting Started
When you first open the program, you can click on the "What You'll Need" on the Welcome screen to determine what financial documentation you will need. This includes mortgage terms, your most recent federal and state income tax returns, pay stub, bank and credit card statements, the latest "Your Social Security Statement" from the Social Security Administration, and pension plan information. If you don't have a current copy of your social security statement, Financial Fate provides information on how to obtain one. The first time you start the program, you create a new financial plan and then begin entering data. You can save up to five different plans with the program.
Data Entry
The data entry process is divided among 10 different planning topics, including personal information, life expectancy and retirement ages, income and expenses, investments, insurance coverage, social security benefits, and pension plans. All of this information must be entered manually, but the program's easy-to-use interface makes the process relatively painless. The more data you enter, the more complete a financial picture the program is able to draw for you, so don't give into the temptation of providing only the minimum amount of information.
As you enter data, your "financial fate" changes within the program. You can see whether you are solvent for life or headed for bankruptcy, along with your projected net worth at the end of your life. This projected net worth is in future dollars, but you can also see your net worth in today's dollars by hovering the mouse over the "tip" question mark next to the net worth amount.
"Fully Verifiable"
Financial Fate dubs itself "fully verifiable" since users can see all of the underlying data that goes into the analysis of your financial plan. The program also makes the assumptions that go into the calculations fully transparent. You can click on "Assumptions" at the bottom of the program window to display the various percentages related to the specific planning topic you are working on and change them if appropriate.
"What-If" Analysis
Beyond providing you with a clearer picture of your financial future, Financial Fate also offers "what-if" analysis to gauge the impact of changing the underlying assumptions of your financial plan. For example, if you choose an earlier retirement age, the program automatically makes the necessary adjustments to social security and pension benefits and calculates whether it is financially viable.
Financial Reports
The program offers several reports with year-by-year depictions of your income and expenses, taxes, assets and liabilities and, ultimately, your net worth. The only drawback is the program does not currently allow you print these reports, so you can only view them on-screen.
I was impressed with the level of detail offered by Financial Fate, especially since it is a free product. Some may find the manual data entry tedious, but the end result is well worth it. Keep in mind that while the program attempts to help you achieve your financial goals, it is important to consult with a financial planner or tax professional before making changes to your financial plan based on the program's analysis.

The road to Las Vegas: PFM does M2P, IMA intros BFB CP18, ARC on ELAU
ARC reviews ELAU acquisition by Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric (PELV Booth N- ) announced in May its intent to purchase the outstanding shares of ELAU (PELV Booth N-7312) a packaging machinery automation market leader. As a wholly owned autonomous Schneider Electric company ELAU will define the business model to achieve Schneider's growth strategy in the increasingly global packaging automation market.
In a recent ARCwire report analyst Sal Spada of ARC Advisory Group commented: "Through ELAU's thought leadership in machine control they have not just grown their business but have had a major impact on expanding the entire packaging machinery market.
"Servo-based technology is simply more accessible to the machine builder as they have used an innovative strategy that leveraged embedded software intelligence networking and industry standards.
"Under the Schneider Electric umbrella we expect ELAU to retain this entrepreneurial spirit while leveraging the global infrastructure and financial backing of the organization to continue to expand their business more rapidly globally."
ELAU's core technology enables over 25 installed packaging machines worldwide to deliver the increased efficiency and flexibility demanded in today's supply chain. Schneider Electric is a $12 billion company that supplies quality electrical devices to implement automation throughout the enterprise. The integration of ELAU's domain expertise and Schneider's worldwide resources gives packagers an unprecedented ability to leverage their packaging assets as a competitive advantage.

Kanawha Prosecutor Mark Plants has dismissed a first-degree murder charge against David Kinney in a case involving a West Side shooting two years ago.
Kinney, 34, was arrested three months after Poca resident Jeremy Parsons was shot to death in broad daylight as he drove on Virginia Street. His Cadillac ElDorado crashed afterward near the Save-A-Lot store.
But bringing Kinney to trial has been a difficult road for prosecutors. The case has also been a thorn in the side of Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster from the beginning.
Now she has signed the order granting a motion from prosecutors to dismiss the case, and Kinney is a free man.
Plants said he had no choice.
"I'm left with no evidence," he said. "But the victim's family is convinced he is the killer. And so are we."
Plants said Kinney and Parsons had "bad blood" between them. Police thought the murder was sparked by jealousy over a girlfriend.
What prosecutors hoped to show a jury was a video taken by a security camera at the Auto Zone store. That video shows cars driving past on Virginia Street just prior to the shooting. They believe one was Kinney's and one was Parsons'.
They also wanted a jury to know about 10 mm shell casings found at the murder scene and planned to have a gun expert testify about the unique marks made on them and how it could link Kinney to the ammunition.
Earlier this year, Webster ruled those shell casings couldn't be introduced because of a fluke that occurred at the State Police Crime Lab. As evidence, the casings were erroneously filed under the victim's name, not Kinney's, and when there was trouble locating them, prosecutors said they must be lost.
Defense attorneys accused the state of "gross negligence," and Webster agreed.

Joke :
A Yuppie was opening the door of his BMW when a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the Police arrived at the scene, the Yuppie complained bitterly about the damage to his car. "Officer, look what they've done to my Beemer!"
"You Yuppies are so materialistic, it's ridiculous retorted the officer. "You're so worried about your stupid BMW, you didn't even notice that your left arm was ripped off." "Oh, my God!" Screamed the yuppie, noticing the bloody stump, where his arm used to be."My Rolex !"

Violations include coercion by immigration judges and deportation officers to get detainees to sign stipulated orders of removal, overburdened court dockets, delays in the removal process, failure to provide pro bono representation information, and lack of adequate language access for non-English speaking detainees.
The US government has faced criticism over the immigrant detention system. In September the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that immigrants who are imprisoned while fighting deportation cannot be held indefinitely [JURIST report] without a bail hearing and that the government must justify the need for the prolonged detention. Last year the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) [official website] released a report detailing investigations into immigrant detention centers [JURIST report]. The report expressed concern over increased use of detention by the US government, citing a doubling in detention of non-citizens by ICE. It criticized the US government for viewing detention as a necessity and not as an exception in its enforcement. The IACHR also found the average 30-day detentions troubling, arguing that it is likely to increase as backlogs of immigration cases increase. The number of immigration cases pending is expected to rise in light of the numerous state laws that have been enacted to address the issue of immigration.
