Section 1
Jesus Christ
A very good person. Compassionate person. Nothing was wrong with him. He was in wrong society with obnoxious individuals. Why nail a man's hands and legs for his philosophy and disclosures.
Even today, nothing wrong with the great man. There is something very wrong with society individuals who have contaminated the very purpose of life. He died and they buried him. If the great man's etheric body was present in air , it would have existed for few more years and dissolved with time span. No etheric body can remain forever. A human and its etheric body at the most for 130 years.
In Hindu mythology, Yama, is agent of death. Yama, the God of death. It is said, when a life is born, it's death is also marked. The time of its death is pre-ordained. But when an individual ends his /her life by force, artificially, by committing suicide, in the 21st century, because of corona vaccination, the individual dies before the pre-ordained date, the body will be buried but its etheric body would be present in air, as invisible force, or one can say, not normally visibile force till the time of its pre-ordained death. So a human body and its etheric body can exist at the most 130 years or 150 years.
He died about 2000 years back.
About 4750 kms from the place where i am. How can a Ghost or Holy Ghost save or help millions of people all over the world. One ghost, how can it help millions of people. A ghost has no power. A ghost does not have cerebrum and brain, it does not know any language, the brain that contained the language faculty has been buried and rendered inoperational, it does not have vocal cord so it can talk and make others listen to it, it does not have muscle power, the body that contained the muscle has been buried, it cannot move even a leaf lying on ground in still air, it is "powerless" It has no power ......
My father lived for our family. Sacrificed all comforts and pleasures in his whole life time. His body was buried about 100 meters from our home in our farmland. He was 71 years old at the time of his death. For about 50 years after marriage from day 1, he lived for us and family. It is 3 years since he died. Not a single incident of his ghost visiting us or talking to us. If this be the case with a father, how can someone totally unrelated to humans living thousands of kilometers away be of any help to anyone. How can one ghost or etheric body or whatever it is, be in existence for 2000 years without dissolution by Cosmic Mind and how can it have potential to help millions of people. It is absurd.
In Kali-Yuga, where most of individuals are obnoxious, not in the right, not in the path of dharma, not in consonance with conscience, will it be helping millions of bad people. If it will be helping millions of bad people then those actions must be bad. It must be a bad agent. Like a criminal commits a crime in society, harms society persons, goes to police station, worships the Inspector. The Inspector instead of punishing him, he saves him.
A mother hears her son met with an accident. She faints. The son dies. The mother gets into the state of coma. That is the state of millions of mothers. If the son would need a kidney for survival, the mother would donate. If he requires a heart, she will donate and be dead
I have heard
A son became too much attached to his lover. The lover was about to have heart failure. So he killed his mother, took her heart and went running to save his lover. On the way, he stumbed over a rock and fell down. The mother's heart on his hand told "paathu poda kannu" "run carefully, my dear"
If such a mother would die, she does not come as a ghost and help her son. The son cannot see own mother's ghost. A person died. Jesus Christ. 2000 years back. 5000 kms away. 10,000 kms. He was a man. Not a woman. How can the man as Ghost come to an irrelevant family situated 6000 kms, 8000 kms away and help a family. There are millions of families all over the world
Can anyone make it Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Sikh. Can anyone make it to worship another duck that died 2000 years ago, 4750 kms away or 10,000 kms away. It is not possible.
Howsoever hard they try, it won't. It does not have that medium. It won't cooperate with their hypnotism, mesmerism, influence. It simply will be.
It won't "co-operate"
......
Religion is like battery charging. You don't charge, the battery would be dead.
You don't go to places outside of you. They cannot influence, mesmerize, hynotize.
You go to Church, they charge you for the week. You don't go there for 1year. It will become nothing.
......
What is a Temple, Church, Mosque
A building
Every building is made up of bricks, cement and sand
It has a certain structure. It is temple.
Different structure. It is Church
....
Brick is nothing but burnt clay. Cement too is taken from sand. Iron also
They put more bricks, more sand, more cement - it becomes a grand, grandiose building.
Do not be fooled by that.
You sit under a tree. Medidate. The internal happens. Meditate for 30 years, you attain Buddhahood
A building has nothing to do with religion. Any religion. A building will protect you from sun's heat and rain. That much they do
Next come the persons inside them.
Nothing heavenly about them. You talk with them for a week. You will find that they too are humans. They did not descend from the sky.
If they are made to stand under a tree with torn clothing, they will lose their capacity to influence, mesmerize and hynotize you
....
In Hinduism, totally irrelevant idiotic activities are taking place in the name of religion. Hinduism is almost dead. In a coma. There seems to be not even dozen people to safeguard it and keep it continuing. People come to temples like they go to shopping. You don't find any Bhakthi there. Observe the cameras in every Hindu temple. Does anyone sit, close the eyes and be in the state of meditation even for 10 minutes. Does anyone think of god or goddess even for 1 minute. Behind their prayer of 30 seconds, there is nothing but need. Son should get enginerring seat. Daughter should become doctor. Chant few mantras, show fire in plate, keep hand over fire, put some ash on forehead. Walk out of temple. This is present day Hinduism.
No matter what religious places you go
Situations that will happen will keep happening
The pre-ordained fate will continue to happen
Do people who go to religious places not meet with accidents. Do they not die in hospitals. The river will continue to flow downstream. Nothing can stop it
There are hundreds of money makers, who have started colorful lights, loud speakers and money.
Between God and you - where does the money come inbetween.
God is taking money, using GPay and spending it doing shopping ??
God and money - where is the connection. Every festival, they collect and many are forced to pay during every festival. For what. Colored lights and sounding speakers
The lights are already there in sky at night time - the stars
The gods don't need colored lights.
During the days of Ramayana and Mahabharata - was there electricity. Did electricity exist. During the days of Jesus, did electricity exist. The colored lights and sounding speakers are works of cunning jackal money makers. Did crackers exist during the days of Ramayana and Mahabharatha. Silence is conductive to inner world. Not sound and noise. Mental retards singing songs at certain frequency. Humans. Nothing divine about them. They are amplified and injected into Earth's calm atmosphere with hundreds of decibels intensity for hours and days. Dozen mental retard humans sing. There is nothing divine in them. People remain same as they are. Incorrigibles remain as they are. Not even 1% change will happen. Do drunkards stop drinking liquour that day. 4 rows of speakers. Each row 4 speakers. 16 speakers. Screaming loudest possible. These people are mentally retarded. The idiots are going to trigger Corona virus 2.0 that kill the wretched human species, for disturbing "Earth's Calm Atmosphere"
The great Hinduism, a giant banyan tree is now reduced to Temple building, fire on plate, few mantras, colored lights, sounding speakers. There is not even 0.1% connection with God or religion now.
There is absolutely no connection between God and money.
There is nothing divine in coloured lights. They are lit by humans for humans to loot money.
Loud speakers are satanic, no matter what sounds are produced in them. They are serious disturbance to Earth's Calm Atmosphere
Sit under a tree
Meditate for 10 years, 30 years
You will reach Buddhahood
The religion and inner peacae is inside you. Do not go outside of you. There is nothing there.
Colored lights and sounding speakers are against God.
Closing the eyes and remaining in silence is the way.
additional notes
CHATGPT conversation and observation
In Tamil Nadu, they can put 4x4 = 16 speakers box in front of a police station and make it scream louder, they will do nothing about it. The incidents happen around police station, in the vicinity of police stations, in front of police personnel. They are also not bothered about the damage to ear drums of every individual.

272. Religion — Observations
One Man's Observations — ChatGPT Version
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ appears to have been a compassionate human being whose teachings brought him into conflict with the society around him. Whatever one's religious beliefs, crucifying a person—nailing his hands and feet to a cross—because of his teachings and disclosures represents an extraordinary act of human cruelty.
Approximately two thousand years have passed since his death.
This raises a question that deserves examination independently of religious belief:
How could a person who died approximately two thousand years ago continue personally intervening in the lives of millions of unrelated individuals throughout the world?
Different religions provide theological answers to this question. But if we approach it simply from the standpoint of an ordinary deceased human being, considerable difficulties arise.
The physical brain that contained language, memory and sensory processing ceases functioning after death. The vocal apparatus no longer functions. The muscles through which physical actions were performed no longer operate.
If something non-physical survives death—whether one calls it a ghost, spirit, etheric body, or something else—we must still ask what capabilities such an entity possesses and how those capabilities could be demonstrated.
I can compare this proposition with something much closer to my own life.
My father lived for his family. For decades he sacrificed comforts and pleasures for us. He died at the age of 71 and his body was buried on our farmland, approximately 100 metres from our home.
Several years have passed.
Despite his extraordinary attachment to his family during life, I have experienced no clear incident of his ghost returning to speak with us or physically intervene in our lives.
This produces a difficult question.
If a deeply attached father does not return after death to intervene in the lives of his own family, by what mechanism could a person who died approximately two thousand years ago intervene simultaneously in the lives of millions of unrelated families thousands of kilometres away?
I am not asking people merely to replace one belief with another.
I am asking them to examine the mechanism.
The Mother
Consider a mother's attachment to her child.
A mother hears that her son has suffered a terrible accident. She may collapse from the shock. Some mothers would willingly donate an organ to save their child. Their attachment can be extraordinarily deep.
There is even an old story about a son carrying his mother's heart. When he falls, the mother's heart is imagined as still worrying about whether her son has hurt himself.
The story is not important as literal history. Its meaning is obvious: a mother's concern for her child is being represented as continuing beyond everything else.
Yet when mothers actually die, their children generally do not encounter their mothers returning visibly as ghosts to solve their problems.
Again, the question arises:
If such an intensely attached person does not demonstrably return to intervene in the life of her own child, why should we automatically assume that a person who died thousands of years ago continually intervenes in the lives of strangers across the planet?
The Duck
Consider a duck.
Can we make the duck Hindu?
Christian?
Muslim?
Sikh?
Can we persuade it to worship another duck that died two thousand years ago, thousands of kilometres away?
The duck simply exists.
It doesn't possess the conceptual machinery through which human religious identities are transmitted.
That observation suggests something important:
Religious identity is not necessarily something inherent in life itself. It is something transmitted through human culture, language, institutions, repetition and belief.
Religion and the Battery
Religion can sometimes operate rather like charging a battery.
Repeated exposure reinforces the belief system.
Attend a religious institution every week and its ideas are repeatedly reinforced. Stop exposing yourself to those messages for a long period and their psychological influence may diminish.
This does not prove that every religious belief is false.
It demonstrates something simpler:
Human belief can be strengthened through repetition.
Therefore we should distinguish an independently discovered spiritual truth from something that remains powerful primarily because it is continuously reinforced.
What Is a Temple, Church or Mosque?
At the physical level, each is a building.
Buildings consist of materials—brick, stone, sand, cement, iron, wood and other substances.
Arrange those materials according to one architecture and humans call the structure a temple.
Arrange them differently and they may call it a church or mosque.
Make the structure enormous, decorate it extensively and spend extraordinary amounts of money on it, and it becomes grandiose.
But grandeur should not be confused with spirituality.
A building is external. Religion, if it involves transformation of consciousness, must ultimately happen internally.
A building can protect the human body from rain, sunlight, heat and other environmental conditions.
But can bricks produce enlightenment?
Can cement produce meditation?
Can decorative architecture transform consciousness?
These questions should at least be asked.
A person can also sit beneath a tree and meditate.
Nothing grandiose is required.
If profound internal transformation is possible through years or decades of meditation, perhaps the essential religious phenomenon has far less to do with buildings than humans commonly suppose.
Religious Authorities
The people occupying religious institutions are also human beings.
Talk with them long enough and their ordinary humanity becomes apparent. They experience human thoughts, emotions, desires, limitations and contradictions.
Clothing, architecture, symbols and social position can create psychological authority.
Remove those external elements and place the same individual beneath a tree in ordinary clothing, and some of that psychological influence may disappear.
Therefore we should distinguish:
the person from the costume,
the teaching from the institution,
and inner realization from social authority.
Present-Day Religious Practice
This is where my criticism becomes severe.
Observe what actually happens at many religious places.
People arrive with requests.
"My son should obtain an engineering seat."
"My daughter should become a doctor."
"My business should succeed."
"My illness should disappear."
"My family should prosper."
A short prayer is performed. A ritual follows. Something is placed upon the forehead. Then the person leaves.
But where is transformation?
Where is meditation?
Where is silence?
Where is the examination of one's own anger, greed, jealousy, violence, desire, ego and unconscious behaviour?
If a person enters a temple with all these qualities and walks out essentially unchanged, what exactly has religion accomplished?
Fate and Religious Places
People who regularly visit religious places still experience accidents.
They still become ill.
They still die.
Their families still experience tragedy.
Life continues according to enormously complicated chains of biological, physical, environmental and human causes.
Therefore attendance at a religious building should not automatically be interpreted as protection against the ordinary processes of existence.
The river continues downstream.
God and Money
Another question deserves to be asked:
Where exactly does money enter the relationship between an individual and God?
Festivals increasingly involve collections, decorations, lighting, amplification and expenditure.
But does God require money?
Does God require electronic payment?
Does God go shopping?
The absurdity of those questions exposes the underlying problem.
Money may be necessary for maintaining human institutions. That is understandable.
But institutional finance should not automatically be confused with spirituality.
Lights, Loudspeakers and Religion
The night sky already contains magnificent lights: the stars.
For most of human religious history there was no electrical decorative lighting.
There were no modern electronic loudspeakers.
There were no enormous amplifier systems.
Therefore these technologies cannot possibly constitute the essence of ancient religion.
Silence has an obvious relationship with introspection.
Meditation requires inward attention.
Constant amplified noise pushes attention outward.
This creates a fundamental contradiction when religious occasions become dominated by extremely loud music, movie songs, entertainment, decorative lighting and public spectacle.
In some temple festivals, even songs with strongly sensual or sexually suggestive vocal presentation may be amplified in the name of celebration.
The question is not whether people enjoy those songs.
The question is:
What is their relationship to inner religious transformation?
If there is no relationship, then entertainment should be called entertainment.
Noise should be called noise.
Decoration should be called decoration.
None of them becomes divine merely because it occurs beside a religious building.
Earth's Atmosphere
Loudspeakers physically transmit acoustic energy through the atmosphere.
Large amplification systems can therefore significantly alter the local acoustic environment and disturb human beings and other animals.
Persistent environmental disturbance deserves serious consideration.
I have speculated further about whether large-scale disturbance of Earth's environment could eventually produce consequences for humanity itself.
That proposition should be distinguished from established science.
At present, there is no demonstrated scientific mechanism showing that atmospheric noise causes the Earth, Nature, or a Cosmic Mind to deliberately create a new coronavirus to punish humans.
It remains a hypothesis within a broader philosophical conception of Nature.
But the underlying environmental question survives even without that hypothesis:
How much unnecessary disturbance should one species impose upon the environment shared by every other species?
Human beings possess sufficient intelligence to ask that question.
They should use it.
What Has Happened to Religion?
A magnificent philosophical tradition can gradually be reduced to external activities:
a building,
a ritual,
a flame upon a plate,
a few memorized words,
money,
decorative lights,
amplified sound,
and public spectacle.
When that happens, the external shell can remain while the internal phenomenon disappears.
The building survives.
The organization survives.
The festival survives.
The money survives.
The noise survives.
But religion may have departed.
Go Inside
Sit beneath a tree.
Close your eyes.
Remain silent.
Observe yourself.
Meditate.
Continue—not for ten minutes merely to say that you meditated, but as a serious investigation of consciousness.
Ten years.
Twenty years.
Thirty years, if necessary.
If there is something profound to discover about consciousness, existence, God, Nature, Buddhahood or the inner world, investigate it there.
Religion and inner peace must ultimately be discovered inside the human being.
Do not mistake the building for the transformation.
Do not mistake money for God.
Do not mistake amplification for spirituality.
Do not mistake spectacle for meditation.
And above all:
Do not believe merely because something has been repeated to you. Observe. Question. Investigate. Experience. Then decide for yourself.
