It is also established that the content of energy remains the same; it neither increases nor decreases.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Theory of Space</strong></p><p></p><p>For the common people the place where the things are not visible is considered empty; and is having space. The things that are not visible are considered to be creating space in this terminology. In actuality there is no space; since energy is present everywhere either in the form of wave or particle. Hence all the particles in the universe are in contact with every other neighbouring particles passing on the impact of the contact to the last in the universe; impact may be miniscule or large depending on energy and force of the contact particles.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Theory of Contact, </strong></p><p></p><p>All the energy, matter or things in the universe are in regular contact; all big and small things; all the things close and all the things far away; all are in contact. Every contact creates an impact and impact creates transfer of energy and a change in the other depending on the energy transferred and force which it is transferred.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>String Theory</strong></p><p></p><p>Everything is in a string. The visibility being limited we get different results; thinking processes being different, we have different names, but all remained bound to a single string. The stringing is so intense that there are no gaps; each particle impacting the other at every moment. This impact is continuous; non-breaking: one particle impacts any other particle in any part of the universe systematically. Thus impact on one particle is impacting the entire universe. This also shows that not a single particle in the universe is without impact of other particles, the impact gross and not individualistic. This impact can be increased or decreased by concentration. To measure impact on one particle; measuring the impact of only the neighbouring particles thus will not yield the right result.</p><p></p><p><strong>Theory of Continuity</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p>This contact is regular meaning there is no space in between any corresponding source of energy.</p><p></p><p>All the small things and big things are joined to form continuity. We have things visible and things not visible; things identifiable and things not identifiable; all joined together to form a continuity. There is no space between any two things in actuality even though we find the visible items as separate because of non visibility of smaller items which are in continuity.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Theory of Change </strong></p><p></p><p>The universe is made of energy which is continuously changing. Entire energy is in continuity and there is no space. It may be in the form of wave or particle; but everything in this universe is in regular contact.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Theory of Visibility</strong></p><p></p><p>There is no limit to smallness and greatness of particles. There is countless small particulate matter not visible to human eye due to the limits of reflecting power of the particulate matter and the reception power of human eye or alternatively to the instrument used. When these small things combine to form one big thing; they become visible. For examples, the quarks and fermions are not visible. When they join they form electrons, neutrons and protons, they still are not visible. When electrons, protons and neutrons join together and form into atoms, they are still not visible to human eye. When atoms join and form molecules; they still are not visible. However when molecules form to make substances they become visible sometimes. Thus group of smaller things when combined make big things and become visible. Similarly the distance from the eyes also affects visibility. For example the things close to us are visible but things which are away for example out of our town will not be visible. Similarly, there are numerous stars and constellations which are not visible to human eye or even to the instruments devised by man. There are countless things away from the visibility of the beings which the individuals cannot see. All these things are in regular contact; though we may be unable to see this contact.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Theory of Time</strong></p><p></p><p>Our present time is the creation of human mind which has been related to the sun. We started with days and nights; hours, minutes and seconds relating these to the sun. If sun would not have been there; earth would not have been there and days and nights would not have been there. Thus the time is the creation of mind of the man. There was no time when the man was not there. Hence to talk about space and time as the standards of measurements of the past especially of the period when man was not there or when sun was not there or when this universe was not there is a creation of human mind. Animals and birds do not bother about time; though they may link their movements to movement of sunlight. How we decide about the time of origin of universe? Since the universe has been created and recreated many times; from which universe should we start our time? It is like starting the time with one bubble in water which when breaks we start thinking of another time. Since sun came much later than existing universe we have to count backwards to relate to the present time..</p><p></p><p><strong>Naming the Particulate Matter:</strong></p><p></p><p>The things which we see we identify them with names. We identify the names by their functions or by their attributes. They may be common nouns, proper noun, classified nouns, abstract nouns etc. Among other houses, we have our house which is full in all respects. It has windows; doors, curtains, tables, chairs, beds, cups, saucers, glasses, plates, trays, water, fire, electric switches, plugs sockets and what not which we know and we have given them common nouns. We have classified all things beings used for cooking and serving as utensils; all tables and chairs as furniture; utensils and furniture items are thus classified names. We are husband and wife with children in the house. We have named our children as Raj, Taj, Ram, Mani etc. Parents also gave us the names like Joy, Deep etc. All these are proper names. These are names given to a group of items bound together to be visible and have thus become identifiable. They are linked with numerous other items not being seen which we do not give any name and do not identify. All are however connected. <em>Sagal samgri tumre sootar dhari (M.5 Sukhmani</em>). Everything is in a string. The visibility being limited we get different results; thinking processes being different, we have different names, but all remained bound to a single string, part of the same energy, changing continuously from one form to another.</p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px"><strong>Any set of laws that describes a continuous world such as our own will have a concept of energy, which is conserved quantity. [12] </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px"><strong>It is well accepted that the entire universe is made of energy which continuously changes its forms i.e., it is not stable. It is also well accepted that the quantity of energy remains the same; it neither increases nor decreases. It is also accepted that the universe is governed by the natural laws (and not scientific laws). Stephen Hawking call this universe as deterministic universe: Once you set up a starting configuration, or initial condition, the laws determine what happens in future.[13] The origin and expansion of the universe has to be under natural laws. Big bang is not a natural law hence all the more questionable.</strong></span></p><p>Since it is accepted that origin had been from a zero or condensed state and all the expansion occurred there from. This zero state may be considered as a one of the state in continuity where the condensation process of energy would have ended. According to Hawking this continuity is due to gravity. (p. 180). He further says that, “for a gravity to predict finite quantities, the theory must have … super symmetry between the forces of nature and the matter on which they act. M-theory is the most general super-symmetric theory of gravity. For these reasons M-theory is the only candidate for a complete theory of the universe.” [14] The total process is sinusoidal. The universe might have originated and ended many times beyond time calculation of human mind.</p><p></p><p>References:</p><p></p><p></p><p> [1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Overbye" target="_blank">Overbye, Dennis</a> (20 February 2017). <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/20/science/hubble-constant-universe-expanding-speed.html" target="_blank">"Cosmos Controversy: The Universe Is Expanding, but How Fast?"</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times" target="_blank">New York Times</a>.

It is the guiding voice within; it is how one distinguishes from right or wrong. Conscience tells you to behave in the right manner and reminds you of the consequences.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Scientifically, consciousness development can be considered in seven stages: 1. Pre-consciousness 2. Consciousness 3. Primate Consciousness 4. Late Hominid Consciousness 5. Self-Consciousness 6. Communal Consciousness 7. Super-consciousness</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>1. Pre-consciousness</strong> is the ability to respond to environmental stimuli. Pre-consciousness includes sensitivity to change (detection) response to change (behavior) and adaptation by means of genetic mutation.</p><p></p><p><strong>2. Consciousness</strong> is the ability to receive and store environmental stimuli, and to perform an intentional action based on the data. It involves learning, which is the ability to save and recall information, and to develop new behavior in response to environmental change.</p><p></p><p><strong>3. Primate consciousness</strong> forms a bridge between consciousness and self-consciousness. Primate consciousness includes all aspects of consciousness with the addition of: self-recognition, sign language, symbol manipulation, expanded memory and curiosity (the desire to know or learn).</p><p></p><p><strong>4. Late hominid consciousness</strong> is an extension of primate consciousness. Habiline consciousness included mental sequencing of events and perhaps primitive use of language in the form of individual sound and symbol sequencing.</p><p></p><p><strong>5. Self-consciousness</strong> is the ability to symbolically represent the environment, and oneself. It is the ability to think, predict and invent. Homo Sapiens evolved increased brain size, a variety of stone tool making and use, a growing capacity for language, and complexity in the rules of kinship, taboo, obligation, and social standing.</p><p></p><p>6. <strong>Communal consciousness</strong> is group identity and awareness, which is characterized by a shared purpose. Specific elements of communal consciousness include signaling, mimicry, courtship, grouping, synchronous behavior, social exchange, cooperation, altruism, empathy, </p><p>reciprocity, cultural exchange, and distal storage. Communal consciousness applies to all other categories of consciousness.</p><p></p><p>7. <strong>Super-consciousness: </strong>Super-consciousness is consciousness of the future. Super-consciousness may result from the evolution of self-consciousness, including the transfer of self-consciousness from human beings to human-made systems. The evolution of self-consciousness to super-consciousness may lead to the creation of a new species. A new species, which is super-conscious, may evolve from the genetic modification of an existing brain/mind (leading to a more complex self-consciousness), a first-generation genetically engineered brain/mind, a machine intelligent brain/mind (robot or supercomputer), a symbiotic relationship between human and machine. In addition, large interactive systems on the scale of planets, stars or galaxies may evolve a form of communal super-consciousness characterized by a grand network of symbiotic interconnections. In part, the human journey consists in the continual expansion, refinement, and heightening of consciousness in response to the challenges and opportunities of daily life. Over a series of many lifetimes, the ordinary human rises, step by step, from the limitations of narrow self-centeredness to the exalted heights of universal love and compassion. "We can only speculate on the potential of the expansion of consciousness. We are told that there are great beings that contain within their consciousness entire solar systems and even galaxies and beyond. In some distant future, we may have such vast reaches of awareness ourselves. The contemplation of the starry sky gives some sense of the potential vastness of consciousness."<a href="https://www.sikhphilosophy.net/file:///H:/mini%20port%20hdd/Transcendsdata/col%20ds%20backup%201/Books/allbooks/books/gn/Chap2gn.doc#_edn1" target="_blank">https://www.sikhphilosophy.net/file:///H:/mini port hdd/Transcendsdata/col ds backup 1/Books/allbooks/books/gn/Chap2gn.doc#_edn1</a><em></em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>"Universal" means good for everybody, all the time.

[QUOTE="Dalvinder Singh Grewal, post: 213276, member: 22683"] Points raised are 'empty space' and 'consciousness', hence are dealt with differently. Energy and Empty space The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed: it can only be transformed from one state to another. It is also established that the content of energy remains the same; it neither increases nor decreases. [B]Theory of Space[/B] For the common people the place where the things are not visible is considered empty; and is having space. The things that are not visible are considered to be creating space in this terminology. In actuality there is no space; since energy is present everywhere either in the form of wave or particle. Hence all the particles in the universe are in contact with every other neighbouring particles passing on the impact of the contact to the last in the universe; impact may be miniscule or large depending on energy and force of the contact particles. [B]Theory of Contact, [/B] All the energy, matter or things in the universe are in regular contact; all big and small things; all the things close and all the things far away; all are in contact. Every contact creates an impact and impact creates transfer of energy and a change in the other depending on the energy transferred and force which it is transferred. [B]String Theory[/B] Everything is in a string. The visibility being limited we get different results; thinking processes being different, we have different names, but all remained bound to a single string. The stringing is so intense that there are no gaps; each particle impacting the other at every moment. This impact is continuous; non-breaking: one particle impacts any other particle in any part of the universe systematically. Thus impact on one particle is impacting the entire universe. This also shows that not a single particle in the universe is without impact of other particles, the impact gross and not individualistic. This impact can be increased or decreased by concentration. To measure impact on one particle; measuring the impact of only the neighbouring particles thus will not yield the right result. [B]Theory of Continuity[/B] This contact is regular meaning there is no space in between any corresponding source of energy. All the small things and big things are joined to form continuity. We have things visible and things not visible; things identifiable and things not identifiable; all joined together to form a continuity. There is no space between any two things in actuality even though we find the visible items as separate because of non visibility of smaller items which are in continuity. [B]Theory of Change [/B] The universe is made of energy which is continuously changing. Entire energy is in continuity and there is no space. It may be in the form of wave or particle; but everything in this universe is in regular contact. [B]Theory of Visibility[/B] There is no limit to smallness and greatness of particles. There is countless small particulate matter not visible to human eye due to the limits of reflecting power of the particulate matter and the reception power of human eye or alternatively to the instrument used. When these small things combine to form one big thing; they become visible. For examples, the quarks and fermions are not visible. When they join they form electrons, neutrons and protons, they still are not visible. When electrons, protons and neutrons join together and form into atoms, they are still not visible to human eye. When atoms join and form molecules; they still are not visible. However when molecules form to make substances they become visible sometimes. Thus group of smaller things when combined make big things and become visible. Similarly the distance from the eyes also affects visibility. For example the things close to us are visible but things which are away for example out of our town will not be visible. Similarly, there are numerous stars and constellations which are not visible to human eye or even to the instruments devised by man. There are countless things away from the visibility of the beings which the individuals cannot see. All these things are in regular contact; though we may be unable to see this contact. [B]Theory of Time[/B] Our present time is the creation of human mind which has been related to the sun. We started with days and nights; hours, minutes and seconds relating these to the sun. If sun would not have been there; earth would not have been there and days and nights would not have been there. Thus the time is the creation of mind of the man. There was no time when the man was not there. Hence to talk about space and time as the standards of measurements of the past especially of the period when man was not there or when sun was not there or when this universe was not there is a creation of human mind. Animals and birds do not bother about time; though they may link their movements to movement of sunlight. How we decide about the time of origin of universe? Since the universe has been created and recreated many times; from which universe should we start our time? It is like starting the time with one bubble in water which when breaks we start thinking of another time. Since sun came much later than existing universe we have to count backwards to relate to the present time.. [B]Naming the Particulate Matter:[/B] The things which we see we identify them with names. We identify the names by their functions or by their attributes. They may be common nouns, proper noun, classified nouns, abstract nouns etc. Among other houses, we have our house which is full in all respects. It has windows; doors, curtains, tables, chairs, beds, cups, saucers, glasses, plates, trays, water, fire, electric switches, plugs sockets and what not which we know and we have given them common nouns. We have classified all things beings used for cooking and serving as utensils; all tables and chairs as furniture; utensils and furniture items are thus classified names. We are husband and wife with children in the house. We have named our children as Raj, Taj, Ram, Mani etc. Parents also gave us the names like Joy, Deep etc. All these are proper names. These are names given to a group of items bound together to be visible and have thus become identifiable. They are linked with numerous other items not being seen which we do not give any name and do not identify. All are however connected. [I]Sagal samgri tumre sootar dhari (M.5 Sukhmani[/I]). Everything is in a string. The visibility being limited we get different results; thinking processes being different, we have different names, but all remained bound to a single string, part of the same energy, changing continuously from one form to another. [SIZE=6][B]Any set of laws that describes a continuous world such as our own will have a concept of energy, which is conserved quantity. [12] [/B] [B]It is well accepted that the entire universe is made of energy which continuously changes its forms i.e., it is not stable. It is also well accepted that the quantity of energy remains the same; it neither increases nor decreases. It is also accepted that the universe is governed by the natural laws (and not scientific laws). Stephen Hawking call this universe as deterministic universe: Once you set up a starting configuration, or initial condition, the laws determine what happens in future.[13] The origin and expansion of the universe has to be under natural laws. Big bang is not a natural law hence all the more questionable.[/B][/SIZE] Since it is accepted that origin had been from a zero or condensed state and all the expansion occurred there from. This zero state may be considered as a one of the state in continuity where the condensation process of energy would have ended. According to Hawking this continuity is due to gravity. (p. 180). He further says that, “for a gravity to predict finite quantities, the theory must have … super symmetry between the forces of nature and the matter on which they act. M-theory is the most general super-symmetric theory of gravity. For these reasons M-theory is the only candidate for a complete theory of the universe.” [14] The total process is sinusoidal. The universe might have originated and ended many times beyond time calculation of human mind.

[14] Op Cit., p.181 Consciousness [B]Conscience Method of Self-Realization[/B]: Scientific Description by the West on Self-realization is through Consciousness, Intuition and Awareness.The truth seeker of the westfeels that the conscience is the voice of the Self which says 'yes' or 'no' when one is involved in a moral struggle. It is the guiding voice within; it is how one distinguishes from right or wrong. Conscience tells you to behave in the right manner and reminds you of the consequences. Scientifically, consciousness development can be considered in seven stages: 1. Pre-consciousness 2. Consciousness 3. Primate Consciousness 4. Late Hominid Consciousness 5. Self-Consciousness 6. Communal Consciousness 7. Super-consciousness [B]1. Pre-consciousness[/B] is the ability to respond to environmental stimuli. Pre-consciousness includes sensitivity to change (detection) response to change (behavior) and adaptation by means of genetic mutation. [B]2. Consciousness[/B] is the ability to receive and store environmental stimuli, and to perform an intentional action based on the data. It involves learning, which is the ability to save and recall information, and to develop new behavior in response to environmental change. [B]3. Primate consciousness[/B] forms a bridge between consciousness and self-consciousness. Primate consciousness includes all aspects of consciousness with the addition of: self-recognition, sign language, symbol manipulation, expanded memory and curiosity (the desire to know or learn). [B]4. Late hominid consciousness[/B] is an extension of primate consciousness. Habiline consciousness included mental sequencing of events and perhaps primitive use of language in the form of individual sound and symbol sequencing. [B]5. Self-consciousness[/B] is the ability to symbolically represent the environment, and oneself. It is the ability to think, predict and invent. Homo Sapiens evolved increased brain size, a variety of stone tool making and use, a growing capacity for language, and complexity in the rules of kinship, taboo, obligation, and social standing. 6. [B]Communal consciousness[/B] is group identity and awareness, which is characterized by a shared purpose. Specific elements of communal consciousness include signaling, mimicry, courtship, grouping, synchronous behavior, social exchange, cooperation, altruism, empathy, reciprocity, cultural exchange, and distal storage. Communal consciousness applies to all other categories of consciousness. 7. [B]Super-consciousness: [/B]Super-consciousness is consciousness of the future. Super-consciousness may result from the evolution of self-consciousness, including the transfer of self-consciousness from human beings to human-made systems. The evolution of self-consciousness to super-consciousness may lead to the creation of a new species. A new species, which is super-conscious, may evolve from the genetic modification of an existing brain/mind (leading to a more complex self-consciousness), a first-generation genetically engineered brain/mind, a machine intelligent brain/mind (robot or supercomputer), a symbiotic relationship between human and machine. In addition, large interactive systems on the scale of planets, stars or galaxies may evolve a form of communal super-consciousness characterized by a grand network of symbiotic interconnections. In part, the human journey consists in the continual expansion, refinement, and heightening of consciousness in response to the challenges and opportunities of daily life. Over a series of many lifetimes, the ordinary human rises, step by step, from the limitations of narrow self-centeredness to the exalted heights of universal love and compassion. "We can only speculate on the potential of the expansion of consciousness. We are told that there are great beings that contain within their consciousness entire solar systems and even galaxies and beyond. In some distant future, we may have such vast reaches of awareness ourselves. The contemplation of the starry sky gives some sense of the potential vastness of consciousness."[URL='https://www.sikhphilosophy.net/file:///H:/mini%20port%20hdd/Transcendsdata/col%20ds%20backup%201/Books/allbooks/books/gn/Chap2gn.doc#_edn1'][i][/i][/URL][i] "Universal" means good for everybody, all the time.
