Владимир Дубковский – Nectar for Your Soul (страница 22)
It’s all, of course, in the essence and form of the proceedings in Lourdes.
The strong spirit of falseness and commerciality that reigns in the town and sanctuaries of Our Lady of Lourdes is vividly described by the noted French writer Émile Zola (1840—1902) in his novel
How and in what one must believe, how to properly conduct oneself and pray, so that everything works out according to our desires is clearly written in ancient manuscripts, found in 1945 in Upper Egypt and from 1947 to 1956 in the caves of Qumran in the Judean Desert. These manuscripts, which have been named the “Nag Hammadi library” and the “Dead Sea Scrolls,” are published in the series “Discoveries in the Judean Desert” (DJD) and currently consist of 40 volumes, published since 1955 by the publishing house Oxford University Press.
If the ancient knowledge of these manuscripts is combined with the achievements of quantum physics, which provide their scientific explanation, it results in an extremely beneficial cocktail, which we encourage you to taste in the following chapters of this book.
Chapter 4.
Who do we believe?
In our search for the answer to eternal questions of happiness and the meaning of life, we turn to various sources of knowledge, among which the primary ones are scientific, religious and philosophical. Each source has its own belief system, which differs from the others, and each insists that precisely its system is
If one takes a look at sources of knowledge from “geometrical standpoints,” it is possible to divide them into two categories:
The internal or earthly source is the thoughts and conclusions of people, based on their own life experience, study of others’ experiences and scientific research. Knowledge from this source is very important; you can’t live a day without it. We receive it first from our parents, then we horde up experience, filling it out through interaction with others and at school and university. The majority of people’s troubles lie in the fact that they limit themselves to this, having scooped out of the ocean of knowledge just a teaspoon. This is like illuminating one’s life path with a small candle while there’s a powerful floodlight right underhand. We’ve already examined what this leads to in detail in the preceding chapters.
However, even the most powerful earthly floodlight can’t highlight the realms of the Immaterial World where our fates are formed and gathered. It is impossible to look into “the Creator’s kitchen” with our own eyes; traditional physical instruments with all the technology of science are ineffective at this task. It is impossible to comprehend the Universe, which is the reflection of the Creator’s conscious, using technical equipment. It’s like trying to measure the depth of love with a slide rule or weigh the strength of anger on apothecary scales.
We live in a three-dimensional physical world, and we can only imagine things in the framework of three dimensions: length, width, and height. But the Immaterial World is multidimensional, and as such it is impossible to look upon it from Earth, whether through radio telescopes or hadron colliders. Failing to understand this, materialist scientists periodically make sensational announcements of their “discoveries,” which fully refute their dogmas of yesterday. But then “tomorrow” comes with the appearance of new “discoveries” which once again fundamentally change the conceptions of scientists.
This is how the understanding of dark energy came about in 1998, when astronomers revealed that the Universe is growing faster than it ought to in accordance with existing theories. It was declared that this unseen dark energy provides around 74% of the Universe’s mass and energy, another 23% is attributed to dark (also mystifying) matter and only 4% is attributable to ordinary matter that can be watched and tracked. Dark energy, a fact of existence known only through its effect on the Universe’s state of being, was named the greatest astronomical mystery.
They didn’t manage to solve this mystery, as a different group of scientists placed in doubt the existence of dark matter as a physical phenomenon. And when, in June 2010, NASA’s Kepler space telescope transmitted images from the depths of space in which scientists made out 100 million planets of our galaxy, 140 of which are similar to Earth,
Scientists made the important announcement that they had at long last uncovered the fate of the Universe, which, in their opinion, will endlessly expand and, in the end of all things, transform into a cold and dead expanse with a temperature close to absolute zero.
Science also knows where the Universe itself came from, and all of us along with it: it turns out that long ago there existed (where, and in what?) a single point with no volume and infinite mass (?!). Then one day, 14 billion years ago, it suddenly exploded, as a result of which the Universe, with its innumerable multitude of stars and galaxies, took shape. It’s that simple; from nothing there arose everything, after which it all somehow organized itself, and in a primeval ocean, under the influence of unknown factors, the molecules of amino acids accidentally took shape. Then, by chance, they formed compounds resembling proteins, after which there accidentally arose a molecule capable of reproducing itself, the first living cell arose of its own accord, and the process moved on. It proceeded so well, that there soon arose simple microorganisms, and after them more complex ones, and so on until apes, which over time transformed into humans. On the whole almost exactly according to Darwin. We say “almost” because Charles Darwin (1809—1882) himself called his idea about the origin of species through natural selection and resultant evolution merely a
