What is your opinion?

Question

Is there a beyond? Because you are not interested in the everyday things and the happenings around you, you have invented a thing called the 'beyond', or 'timelessness', or 'God', 'Truth', 'Reality', 'Brahman', 'enlightenment', or whatever, and you search for that. There may not be any beyond. You don't know a thing about that beyond; whatever you know is what you have been told, the knowledge you have about that. So you are projecting that knowledge. What you call 'beyond' is created by the knowledge you have about that beyond; and whatever knowledge you have about a beyond is exactly what you will experience. The knowledge creates the experience, and the experience then strengthens the knowledge.
What you know can never be the beyond. Whatever you experience is not the beyond. If there is any beyond, this movement of 'you' is absent. The absence of this movement probably is the beyond, but the beyond can never be experienced by you; it is when the 'you' is not there.

Why are you trying to experience a thing that cannot be experienced?

Dear 'I LOVE YOU' do you really think that GOD has this only world so he gave His Only Son, I don't think so. Be logical and reconsider your concept

Answer 1

Beyond cant be explained logically.

This is untrue that "I" does not remain in beyond...."I' goes a long way on the journey...and beyond just starts after the boundaries of material end.....

Asman se aagay jahan aur bhi hain
Abhi Ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hain

So what should i believe ?? what the wise man says ? or what I have experienced ??

Answer 2

You wrote "beyond can never be experienced by you; it is when the 'you' is not there", that itself proves that Beyond exists, but can not be experience, which is correct. I agree, anything which can be expresses is not Beyond.

But based upon direct knowledge (look at the functioning of your body and universe), inference and scriptures we can understand the Beyond, the controlling power behind. Here also you are right that it's just a projection of borrowed knowledge, but it helps as a pointer towards that Beyond for beginners.

To realize the glimpse of Beyond, we need to have natural state of mind, with no mind (without any duality), where object of experience, experience and who is experiencing becomes one, which is what you are saying.

Answer 3

A 'beyond' at best can be an imaginary concept and nothing more.The topic you have chosen belongs to Metaphysics and which among other things has a tendency to contradict itself and also as you are about to conclude something,you land up again at the starting point there by nullifying all the attempts to reach a conclusion.It would therefore, be safer to agree with you because a disagreement would also amount to the same thing

Answer 4

When one goes beyond the realm of the 5 senses and activates the 6th sense with the help of a saint, then only he can go into the 'beyond'. The only difficult thing is to get a saint.

And there is a 'beyond' for sure!!!

Answer 5

I have been declared dead twice. That gives me valid reason to wonder about the beyond. While I was there, there was only darkness and cold, and then the sound of a book slamming shut, and then I woke. I did not get to see what was there, probably because it was not my time to see what was there. Perhaps I have not fulfilled my purpose.

We wonder about the great beyond because we need to feel some sort of solace that our lives are not in vain, and that we will go somewhere when we die.

Answer 6

This reminds me of the story
The Christmas Carol, written about Scrooge, who did not believe in the love of Christmas.
He was shown beyond his own mindedness, into something greater.

I know there is something greater, that is all I need to know.
When the unknown is known, and the knower knows and lives the knowing all glean from this.
All is one, and all is at an-all-at-oneness.

To glimpse the beyond let go of the shackles that bind.

To live truly in this moment, and bring only this moment to that, it expands and through the portal of love all is revealed that can be realised by the one being that love.

Answer 7

The concepts of God, Hell, Heaven, sin, reincarnation, Theory of Karma, Qayamat etc were all derived while searching for the eternal question "What before birth and what beyond death?" No body has succeeded in arriving at correct answer. But in the quest of answer to this question, they came up with different theories. these theories are the Religions.
The religions have out lived their utility, as such these terms have no relevance or meaning. I agree with you.

Answer 8

We are trying to experience the inexperienceable(?) simply because we humans are curious by nature. We are fascinated by everything which cannot be had, we try to capture the elusive. And then, surprisingly, we make things happen. Our imagination is a great tool that helps us explore 'the here and beyond'.

You are right, we cannot experience beyond because when we reach there it no longer remains 'beyond', it is within our reach then, its 'here and now' then.

We are equally interested in everyday happenings. For without 'interest' you cannot let your imagination soar. Interest in here and now led us to our quest for beyond...it is like a continuum.

So far we haven't succeeded much but we will one day! If you are familiar with 'Mahabharat' you would know Sanjay had narrated all that was happening at the battlefield to Blind King Dhritrashtra. Now who would have believed one day we all'd be able to 'see' distant events live, sittng cosily in our own homes, via television...

We, the humans, will one day explore the beyond till there is no beyond left to explore...hope is another great companion of us mortals.

Edit: I see my namesake above me. Surprising! I thought identity here cannot be duplicated. Anyway I'd like to say 'Hello' to you...'Namaste' and 'Sat Sri Akal'.

Answer 9

That is just your opinion. You don't know me, so you do not know what I have or have not experienced. I was not told of Heaven by other people, because I was not raised in a religious environment. I knew in my heart that there was something more out there, so I searched for it on my own, and experienced Gods love and guidance. I experience Gods love every day. And just because you don't believe it, and try to tell me I can't, doesn't make it true. And your theory, doesn't make any more sense to me, then my belief makes to you.

Answer 10

How can we say that there is no existence of god / beyond?
Almost all people are believing on mind, but nobody can see it . We can just feel it .On same way , God is there but we can't see but feel. after so many research we can't find the formula of blood. We can't make blood. It is sufficient to prove that there is something which is always being around us. Somebody say God or any kind of "Shakti". But it is true that there is existence of "Beyond".
Life can't be so easy if we forget to faith on God. Our Structure of body is itself a Miracle. By going to Temple , Church, we feel peace, why is it so? just think.
