The Illusion of Time-The Missing Link Between Science and Religion
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
--Albert Einstein
Could it be true that all religions are one of the same?
And could it be true that science indeed backs up these religions? Or should I say that these religions back science up? One of the two. Or both.
Could it be true that science and God are one of the same?
Yes, it is true. In fact, the reason that you are here is to evolve from an unconscious being into a conscious being. A conscious being is a being who serves God (the universe, buddha, whatever you want to call the divine force.) Yes evolution, science, and religion are all parallel to each other. They are all the same.
Albert Einstein was one of most intelligent beings to exist. He is like many great religious masters in the way that he was greatly misunderstood and misinterpreted, especially when it came to his “religious views” which he made very clear that he was not religious. You see, not only did he solve scientific problems but he was able to recognize the link between his work and the greater divine force. When he said that he was not religious he was referring to a personal God, but Einstein made it clear that he understood religion and spirituality as well as the secret to life.
The Universe or the cosmos contains all existing matter and space. Expansion of the Universe began 13 billion years ago according to the Big Bang theory. We can see the expansion of the Universe just in everyday life -- the world continues to become more complex. But with the discussion of the expansion of the Universe we must also discuss the contraction.
The end of the world has been talked about and feared for a long time. I label the “end” with the term contraction. But the end of the world isn’t really the end as perceived by most. There is often a debate as to whether the Universe will continue to expand or if it will contract. The answer is both, because they are the same thing. I often say “they are the same thing” about different opposing terms, this is a concept the mind itself can’t comprehend. Only the light of consciousness can clarify what I mean by this; words fail to do so.
E=MC^2
Nothing is real. Everything is energy.
Where do I begin with the equation of life? Often, people feel as though life is a mathematical equation that they are trying to solve. But above is the equation of life, and as you can see it has already been solved. Thank you, Einstein.
It began with the theory of relativity. This theory explains that all motion must be defined relative to a reference point and that space at time are relative, not absolute.
E represents energy. M represents the mass of an object. C represents the speed of light.
A person with a mass of 190 lbs is equal to an energy measurement of roughly 7.8 septillion joules of energy. 7.8 septillion joules of energy converted to TNT equals roughly 1.86 million kilotons of TNT worth of energy.
What does this mean?
To put this into perspective, the nuclear bomb that destroyed the city of Nagasaki, Japan during World War II was roughly 21 kilotons of explosives. Which means that a human has about 88,000 times more explosive energy in them than a bomb that destroyed an entire city. Learning to harness this energy is the challenge.
This is what I mean whenever I say that the physical world is not real and everything is made up of energy. Einstein’s equation shows us scientifically how everything in the Universe is energy.
And God said, “Let there be light.”
The speed of light is the distance light can travel in a unit of time. Light travels through a vacuum at about 186,000 miles per second.
Physicist Brian Greene Said, "Thus light does not get old: a photon that emerged from the big bang is the same age today as it was then. There is no passage of time at light speed."
It is often said that theoretically as you approach the speed of light, time would appear to slow down and if you were one with the speed of light you could travel forever since time would cease to exist.
Parallel to this concept, in the spiritual world it is often described that the closer you are to awakening and the more conscious you are the more events appear to unfold in slow motion. The facts for this are in the scientific teachings and connecting the dots is left to your own experiences. The evidence already exists, but the link between the parallel of science and spirituality is the missing part for both science and spirituality. They are the same thing.
You see, the speed of light is consciousness itself. As a being experiences permanent awakening, time ceases to exist. It doesn’t make complete sense until you’ve personally experienced it.
Einstein said, “the dividing line between past, present, and future is an illusion.”
In the book A New Earth Eckhart Tolle says, “Wherever you look, there is plenty of circumstantial evidence for the reality of time – a rotting apple, your face in the bathroom mirror compared to your face in a photo taken thirty years ago – yet you never find any direct evidence, you never experience time itself. You only ever experience the present moment, or rather what happens in it. If you go by direct evidence only, then there is no time, and the Now is all there ever is.”
The speed of light is eternal life.
Once you understand that all you have is now, you will then see a glimpse of forever.
