Philosophy
Staff at The Quiet Mind Body Shop have a simple philosophy of peace and goodwill
to all:
It is the philosophy of yoga where the Earth is and all of life is sacred.
Peace in the world will only come when individuals find inner peace.
We support organic principals and oppose
genetic and nuclear technologies in our environment.
True healing comes from within.
Understanding the Big Picture:
Yet, for all our inventions, for all our thinking, we do not yet have anything
more than conceptual models as to why was the universe created? Who or what
created the universe? For what purpose? What is the universe ultimately made of?
However, we are still to see seamless unified theory of matter that explains
every particle and every structure in the universe, from the smallest possible
to the largest. We are still to see a unified model of every force in the
universe that is consistent from the smallest levels of matter through to the
largest structures of super clusters of galaxies.
More than these gaps, for all that searching, for all that knowledge, there
still does not yet exist a complete and unified scientific model that answers
why was the universe created? Who or what created the universe? For what
purpose? What is the universe ultimately made of?
The Maori's of New Zealand and the Sth Pacific have a similar theory of the
universe creating itself from an idea in motion, in their most sacred of chants:
FIRST PERIOD (thought) From the conception the increase, From the increase the
thought, From the thought the remembrance, From the remembrance the
consciousness, From the consciousness the desire
SECOND PERIOD (night) The world became fruitful; It dwelt with the feeble
glimmering; It brought forth night; The great night, the long night, The lowest
night, the loftiest night, The thick night to be felt, The night to be touched
The night not to be seen, The night of death.
THIRD PERIOD (light) From the nothing the begetting, From the nothing the
increase, From the nothing the abundance, The power of increasing The living
breath It dwelt with the empty space, And produced the atmosphere which is above
us...
The Study Of Smaller And Smaller Objects- The Oldest Science Of Humanity
The study of physical objects smaller than a human, their composition and
behaviour is the oldest branch of human scientific thought. Early trial and
error- Starting hundreds of thousands of years ago, the descendants of modern
humans began to identify and classify the world around them, from rocks that
could be used for spears, rocks that could be used to make fire, plants that
were good for eating and healing
Trying to find a working model
In proposing any answer, it is vital that we remain clear that it is only a
working model to answer our questions that we seek.
The model created by the Judaic/Christian religions is a fine working model for
their respective objectives for providing answers to daily questions of
behaviour. Yet in terms to answering our fundamental questions who? why? for
what ultimate purpose?, the religious models have next to zero utility.
It also doesn't enhance our chances of a breakthrough when we consider the
mountains of thought that has preceded this point, yet apparently failing to
provide us a working model to answer our questions.
However, if we remember that our objective is not to initially find physical
proof - to see it, record it and possibly touch it- but to understand it. Then
with sufficient clues we may find a working answer.
Let us then start with what we know are clearly characteristics of the smallest
particles of matter that can be deduced from common sense and logic and then
work up to see if these common sense understandings provide any clues to our
questions.
If you are wondering why I ? I recommend reading The online book titled
Self
from http://www.ucadia.com/me/me_index.htm
If you are wondering about the nature of the universe and everything, and
you are just starting the journey, it is recommended you start with
Chapter (1).
