They consider the relgious books to contain truths about such matters. These books do not give description of reality that can be verifiable by human knowledge and methods of observing the world. On the other hand scientists generally work from the assumption that things happen as a result of purely natural laws. They use the &#8220;scientific method&#8221; to discover new insights in to nature. Most scientists do not see God regularly intruding in the universe and setting aside natural laws and perfoming miraculous acts.</p>

More he grappled to understand if the source of the phenomenon was his own brain or not, more he sank in a mental quagmire. Thus he entered a realm where he &#8220;heard&#8221; the voice of God, who gradually took control of his mind. Since then he started communicating with an incomprehensible being, who seemed to exist outside the realm of reason and rationality. The inner being became his guide. In a multi-layered reality he became a lonely traveler in a colorful visionary world that spanned from the microscopic realm of the molecules to the largest structures in the cosmos.</span></span></p>

Hence there is a quest for interdisciplinarity.</p>
<p>God appears as a mental phenomenon as a power moving through the mind. He moves in a mental space which is not associated with any physical space. It is more like a virtual space without any boundary in space and time.  The waves can affect the brain and be felt as occuring within the brain, without creating a physical sensation in the brain&#8230;</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-145" title="cosmos_mind_brain" src="http://bornunborn.21stcenturyphilosophy.in/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cosmos_mind_brain.jpg" alt="cosmos_mind_brain" width="347" height="346" />The structures  in the universe were truly fractals, as Mandelbrot had speculated. Very similar ring like structures were embedded inside the nucleus itself. This ring, inside the nuclear ring, enclosed an even smaller ring in turn. It became a tremendously fascinating journey that led me to discover the universe without any beginning and end. The universe has never appeared at any moment of time in the past. So there is no question of coming from somewhere in the past or going to somewhere in the future. It lives in eternity while carrying an unchanging design as its foundation of existence. Through the manifestation of the most perfect order, it can self- regulate all that are coming into forms and disappearing outside the realm of forms by a processes which we call death and birth. It rises from itself and becomes manifest in form and then through renewal of its parts it remains ever-unchanging in all spheres from the tiniest structures to the largest that can ever form. It is the only way the universe can self-create itself from itself and thus exist forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-133" title="eye_neuraldarwinism" src="http://bornunborn.21stcenturyphilosophy.in/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/eye_neuraldarwinism.jpg" alt="eye_neuraldarwinism" width="296" height="252" />There are fundamental laws about complex systems, but they are new kinds of laws. They are laws of structure and organization and scale, and they simply vanish when you focus on the individual constituents of a complex system.The brain-mind question involves perceptual categorization as the first step, which is crucial for learning. However, it is not something fixed, something that occurs once and for all.</p>
<p>Neural Darwinism holds that brain structure is not entirely determined genetically and that, from a neurological perspective, each human brain and hence each individual is unique. In perceiving the outer world the brain is physiologically altered; and our perception of the outer world is fundamentally a creative process emerging from complexity that is beyomd the rules of physics.</p>
<p>Psychological functions such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning are not properties of molecules, of synapses, or even of small numbers of neurons. Instead, they reflect the concerted workings <em>in each phenotype</em> of the motor and sensory ensembles correlating neuronal group selection events occurring in a rich and distributed fashion over global mappings</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-111" title="monk1" src="http://bornunborn.21stcenturyphilosophy.in/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/monk1.jpg" alt="monk1" width="308" height="271" /> Buddhist describe the physico-psychological state of being as made of matter and form and four mental aggregates that are categorized perception, feeling, mental formation and consciousness. Fellings arise in contact with the sense organs made of material elements and the mind. The perceptions arises depending on feeling which is produced through the contact of our six sense-organs.  Perception implies not only the fact of receiving the qualities of objects, but the knowledge of internal objects. Formation generates will and volition to bodily actions, speech and thoughts. Consciousness,  which is dependent on the other agrregates, brings awareness, power to discriminate and make decision, and defines the level of wisdom.</p>
