Only those who know a lot understand how little they know. “Existence determines consciousness,” “we are what we think,” etc. What is our world, does it exist in reality, and what is this very reality?
Many people ask this question. And there is no clear answer. Since ancient times, this question has haunted the minds of people. If we see a table, it means it is there, and if we don’t see it, then it doesn’t exist? Is our world material and what should we take as the very basis of material “existence”?
A person can be aware of the world around him with the help of 5 senses-receptors that nature has endowed us with, but what if something goes beyond these same 5 senses, which are measuring instruments? If a person does not see or understand something, this is not an argument that it does not exist, like electromagnetic fields, which could only be visually identified with the help of a magnet, but which equally existed.
How can you evaluate a three-dimensional space using a two-dimensional scale of measurements? A qualitative leap in this theory was made by A. Einstein, who clearly demonstrated that everything in the world is energy, which does not disappear or appear, but is only transformed from one, denser state of matter to another, more subtle one.
And the world itself is a “clump” of energy particles. The human hand consists of particles, particles from molecules, molecules from atoms, which are also energy. That is, moving from the opposite, the human hand is energy.
But the hand is tangible, but energy is not, then a natural question arises: where and at what moment does energy acquire a material, denser expression? On the other hand, it has long been measured and proven that thought has a quantum nature and there are electromagnetic characteristics that demonstrate this, and this means that thought is material, intangible, invisible, inseparable, but material.
When a thought is concentrated, energy is concentrated, its compaction, and, as a result, the electromagnetic characteristics are strengthened. Those, in turn, enter into resonance, attract their own kind, and the energy moves to another qualitative level, more dense, so-called materialization occurs.
Out of ignorance and fear, from ancient times people with such abilities were called sorcerers. Since all people are a phenomenon of energy in its denser, material expression in the form of a body, the phenomena of telepathy, mind reading, hypnosis are precisely manifestations of the ability to feel and interact with the composition or “aura” of a person, consisting of particles of subtle energy.
This means that the human world is material, just not in the form in which people are accustomed to perceiving materialism. And, if the human world is still material, then the second question arises: how and where did it, this world, come from? Darwin's classical theory has completely discredited itself, giving way to complete confusion among scientists.
The debate over whether our world is a program has reached a dead end. Opinions were divided: from divine origin, to the matrix model as part of a higher, intellectually, experiment. Indisputable arguments, in any case of their appearance, are the presence of some objects and things that have not yet been given a plausible explanation.
Pyramids in Egypt - no technology of that time could build so clearly, positioning them absolutely correctly in relation to the cardinal directions, not to mention the height and system of labyrinths using protective measures that were still not even remotely understood. Mayan tribes - language, technology and designs are still not solved.
Traces of meteorites that form a clear map from space. The appearance of carbon, which appeared as a product of reactions that cannot be reproduced even under modern conditions. Cave paintings that have no explanation, but clearly resemble something like a spaceship and people of strange physique. Bigfoot, similar descriptions of which unequivocally prove his real existence.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that many suggest that planet Earth may be either the matrix of some project, or part of a huge experiment, in an algorithm of intelligence exceeding ours by several orders of magnitude.

How does material nature influence a person, his consciousness and destiny? External energy manifests itself as the material world. It is called external because qualitatively separated from its source. What does separated mean?
Separated External Energy
External energy is a shadow, or a distorted reflection of the internal energy of the Absolute.

"One who, while living in the material world, is free from worldly attachments, who is not overly happy when something good happens to him, and who is not angry when something bad happens to him, has perfect knowledge."
The material world is a place of duality; here there is always the possibility of encountering manifestations of good and evil.
But such phenomena, over time, are of less and less interest to those who direct their attention to the Almighty. The knowledge of such a person gradually matures until...
According to the Bhagavad Gita and other scriptures and also the teachings of Lord Buddha, the cause of suffering is that the body is temporary, life (in the body, in the material world) is temporary, and therefore everything is subject to birth, then aging, disease and death.
The Vedas say that there are three types of suffering: adhyatmika is the suffering that is caused to a living being by his own body and mind, adhibhautika is the suffering that other living beings (not only people) bring to us, and...
Let's consider such points as who God is, why he created the material world, and why we ended up here. And how to return home.
The topic is very broad and quite incomprehensible to the average person, so this article very briefly and simplifiedly describes the process of creating the material world and the meaning of this phenomenon.
According to the Vedas, the ancient sacred scriptures, there is a spiritual world and a material world, in which we are now.
Why did God create the material world?
Quite a logical question, and the answer is...
The Vedas claim that the huge Universe, a small part of which modern scientists can observe through telescopes, is evidence of the manifestation of the mind of the Creator, the mind of a universal scale. However, this explanation of the origin of the Universe is currently considered “unscientific.”
In this regard, it is useful to compare the description of the process of creation described in the Vedas with modern ideas of materialistic science. This is important to do because for many years material scientists have argued...
"All created beings have their source in these two natures. Know for sure that I am the origin and dissolution of everything that is material and everything that is spiritual in this world."
Everything we see is generated by spirit and matter. And spirit does not arise at a certain stage of the development of matter.
On the contrary, the entire material world appears on the basis of spiritual energy. Just like the entire universe, the body of a person or animal develops due to the fact that there is a spirit there. If there is no spirit, then it will not even be born. AND...
Material pleasures arise from the contact of material senses with objects of perception. Such pleasures are temporary because the material body itself is perishable. The liberated soul is not interested in anything transitory.

"Those whose intelligence is stolen by material desires surrender to the demigods and follow certain rules and regulations of worship according to their own nature."
Demigods, or gods - as stated in the Bible and in Buddhism, or devas - in the Koran - are the managers of the material world.
God authorized them to distribute various material goods. The worship of such gods or demigods is generally condemned by any scripture because all the same can be given by God directly. Worship...
