Chapter-wise Extracts of "God in Two Minutes" |

1.
Foreword
What
I have discussed in the book is not science, not religion, nor 'heavy'
philosophy. It is plain and simple common sense
We
will see that we are endowed with phenomenal mental energy, and that it is
entirely in our hands to tap this energy
The
mathematical graphs and diagrams may give an impression that this book is
highly technical. Relax! This book is for the common man, not only for
philosophers or scientists
2.
Physical World and Mental/ Spiritual World
Certain
combination of our feelings put us in a low energy position in the mental
space, whereas some other measure of our feelings may correspond to
high-energy state Our mental state at any given time can be plotted as a unique point in the mental space. With every shift in our mood or in the intensity of our feelings, we would move to a new point and hence to a different state of mind ...
3.
Physical Science and Mental/ Spiritual Science
Mathematics
helped to explain the laws of physical space. However, Mathematics and
Calculus proved inadequate to explain the spiritual phenomena .... I
believe that there will be a completely new science and a new language, which
I call Mentomatics, that will explain the laws of mental space and unfold the
spiritual laws of the universe A
time
will come when you would have a mentomatical method to reach high-energy state
within minutes or even seconds
4.
What is God
Attaining
God is reaching the high-energy zones in the mental space. That is where
Buddha reached, and so did Mahavir, Christ, and Mohammed ... God
is a personification of our own mental energy, both latent and active - the
energy that is available within every human being. The concept of God is a
method to activate this energy It
is because of a great fallacy that belief in such so-called miracles,
miraculous objects and miraculous god-men has a snowballing effect and spreads
like wild fire
5.
What is Religion?
Religion
originated as a code of conduct. The ancient learned men created a set of
norms related to positive thinking, good social behavior and good hygiene for
the common man The
Learned men probably found an easy way to convince people to follow
hygiene, to avoid disease and at the same time ensure compliance – they gave
a religious tinge by saying that it was the “will of God” or the “word
of God” The
learned men created the “baby walker” called Religion for the common man
to learn to walk in the spiritual space 6.
The Method of God and Religion – The Deadly Side Effect
Concept
of God and religion is a psycho-therapeutic method that helps us to reach the
Godly zones, to reach a state of mind with positive feelings and very high
energy The
method of God and religion is slow, not easy to follow, nor very accurate,
but it is one of the best available methods today. [It lacks the precision of
Mentomatics] There
are more deaths due to religious killings than deaths due to all other causes
combined like natural calamities, disease, floods, accidents, etc. The
method of God and religion was good for individuals, it has not worked for the
world which is bleeding. The
method of God and religion, which was devised with all noble intentions, has
become a curse to mankind. This is a result of a basic flaw in the method
itself. 7.
Flaw in the Method – The Faith Trap
The
concept of God and religion is a man-made tool to initiate people into
spirituality. Faith gives the edge to this best available tool today. The
big mistake that man has made is that he did not realise that faith is also
the greatest flaw in this method. It is like a double-edged sword. Faith
in our current method has blinded us from even attempting to look for a better
method to spirituality and to explain the spiritual laws. Just like law of Gravitational forces, there exists a spiritual law. Scriptures have tried to explain the Spiritual Law by using the concept of God
8.
The Greatest Human Mistake – Where we went wrong
A
kid needs a walker to learn to walk. Once it learns to walk, it discards the
walker. If it continues to hold on to the walker, it will not be able to walk God
and Religion is the walker (given by the ancient learned saints) which helps
to toddle in the spiritual space. To sprint in this space, you need to cast it
off. “THE
GREATEST HUMAN BLUNDER” is that we did not discard the walker. We have
remained toddlers in spiritual space though we grew up A
baby is made aware of life first through fairy tales and as he grows, with
real life stories. Due to information revolution and mass media, common man is
also maturing, but is not ready to give up the fairy tales. Man
has got so attached to the tool which he used in Kindergarten that he is
unable to give it up. So he is unable to graduate to higher classes.
9.
Other Consequences of The Great Human Mistake
The
half learned men or the cheats who have twisted religion for personal gains
and easy money. They created some rituals to fill their own coffers. Generally
when some principles and procedures are communicated from generation to
generation, they get distorted. More so if their objective or purpose is not
known The
religious rituals have got distorted with the passage of time as they got
passed from generation to generation. Some of them have no relevance today,
but nobody dares to change them Religion
is an outdated, primitive tool which has not evolved over time because of its
inherent flaw - the tool requires that you have faith in it and faith blinds
you 10.
Need For a Fresh Look
Religion
and religious beliefs were relevant at one time, but most of them are no
longer relevant today. The
present beliefs have actually trapped us in a vicious circle, in a closed
world so that we can never look outside. Religions
have something to learn from Businesses. Just as businesses have realised the
need to re-engineer their obsolete processes, there is a need to
‘re-engineer’ the religion. Whenever
we follow processes without knowing the purpose, we tend to drift from our
goal. The means are wrongly mistaken as the goal. In
case of Religion, processes are followed without knowing the real purpose.
Conditions have changed, technology has changed, but we still believe in the
age old rituals without having a fresh look. Businesses
make continuity plans - Come what may, the business must go on. Similarly, a
continuity plan is required for spiritual learning and growth. Mankind
started with kindergarten of spiritual education but remained in
kindergarten due to lack of continuity plan. We
should be prepared to accept that some of the beliefs which we vouch for today
may be as primitive as the “Rahu and Ketu” stories of lunar eclipse, or
the flat earth theory. Let
there be no Socrates and Galileos tortured and humiliated. If we do not learn
from the history of physical world, we will ridicule and banish some bright
ideas like those of Socrates and Galileo. What
we forget is that physical sciences cannot explain the spiritual world –
there is need for a new spiritual science to be developed. We
do a dispassionate and objective study of physical science. But today’s
study of spiritual science requires that you get emotionally involved with a
religion. Spiritual
science developed using mentomatics will not only explain spiritual
world, it will also encompass quantum physics and classical physics of the
physical world 11. CONCLUSION After the Industrial and Information Revolutions, it is the turn of the Spiritual Revolution. There will be methods available for instant spirituality or "spirituality-in-two-minutes". Our
ability to measure distance, mass and time marked the onset of mathematical
study of Physical world. Our ability to measure feelings could open the doors
to mentomatical study of Spiritual Science.
If
he had said that moving along land is the only way, he would not have invented
aeroplanes. I
can foresee a world united again. Religion will be ‘scientifically’ or
mentomatically explained and we will see that that there is only one God who
is within each one of us A time will come when man will look back and say "Once upon a time, there lived barbarians on this earth who believed in several Gods and they killed their fellow beings in the name of religion." |
