Life, Reincarnation and God

The following paragraphs do not make any sense even to myself, but the thoughts about it have been coming back to my mind so frequent that I have to write it done to get raid of them from my bothered brain.

What is life and why is it so special? To me, as mentioned in earlier postings, any life form on earth is nothing but a bunch of molecules and elements commonly available on our mother earth been arranged in very special ways. The arrangements are so special and complex that some of the life entities starting to have illusions of thoughts, emotions, free will, intelligences, mind, soul, spiritualities and so on. The illusion tends to be very real at least to me since I am experiencing it even at this very moment of writing the article. However, to me at least, the terms such as thoughts, emotions, mind, or spirit represent nothing but complexity of the molecule arrangement.

To comprehend what life really is, I would rather use the following analogy that the life on earth is like the waves in a pond. Each waveform represents an individual life on earth. By saying so, we could find similarities between the waves and life:

·The material that made up the waves is the same i.e. water while all life forms are made of DNAs which only have four different chemical compounds (A, C, G, T)
·Waves have different shapes, which could represent different life form or species
·Waves are created and destroyed all the time which represents the birth and death
·Each individual wave is the result of all prior waves i.e. every wave is the reincarnation of all prior waves
·Every wave will have impact on all waves in the future i.e. every wave would reincarnate to all waves in the future
·The tendency of waves moving up or down gives the wave a sense (an illusion) of consciousness
·The behaviors of all waves follow the laws of physics – all the illusions are the same and predetermined.
·Each individual consciousness is part of bigger consciousness (the consciousness of the pond)
·The wave peaks (above the static line) represents life in this world (Yang)
·The wave valleys (below the static line) represent the life in the opposite world (Yin)

So where are the waves come from? They are created by God

It's written down and I am liberated.

Reality and knowledge of reality

Schrodinger developed a thought experiment commonly called Schrodinger's Cat to amplify the quantum concept from microscopic level to a macroscopic level. Schrodinger's intention of developing such a model is to counter Bohr's believe that it is impossible to invent a new language to describe the "quantum reality" However, Bohr argued back that the theory is about our state of knowledge of the cat, not about the cat. If Bohr is right, then it implies that all theories human beings have developed could only be used to gain the knowledge of certain aspect of the reality.

Then the question becomes if the knowledge of reality and the reality itself are the same. In my opinion, they are different. In case of Plato's Cave, the slaves could gain some knowledge such as shape, size etc. by studying the shadows of the studied objects, but that knowledge represents only certain properties the reality, but not the reality itself.

To avoid the concept of slave, I would rather develop another analogy that a curtain (the measuring apparatus) separates all observers and all realities even though we are all free men (are we really? I wondered). This curtain is imposed by God for whatever the reasons. The reality could only project certain aspects of itself onto the curtain that allows the observers to observe. As mentioned earlier, observers could obtain certain knowledge of the reality by studying the projection (the shadow), but would never be able to reach the reality itself. Certain properties of the reality could not be projected onto the curtain at same time for the same reasons as the example of a cube mentioned in earlier post (Duality and Uncertainty Principles, July 15, 2004).

For now, I call it Shen’ Curtain (what a joke).

The problem of this model is that it assumes the reality does exist even though the reality is beyond our reach while quantum theory says that there is no deeper reality (no reality behind the curtain). More thinking is needed.
