“Unless we know the value of other religious traditions, it is
difficult to develop respect for them. Mutual respect is the
foundation of genuine harmony. We should strive for a spirit
of harmony, not for political or economic reasons, but rather
simply because we realize the value of other traditions. I always make an effort to promote religious harmony.” - Dalai
Lama
Death, fellowship, purpose in life- these are some of the
biggest reasons people seek the knowledge of God or any
superior being that tingles inside them. Many of them share
common traits that draw together a common thread of what
religion really is, and some of them have extraordinary
aspects that seem to defy the minds of people. The purpose of
this second part is to bring together different views on the
same subjects. In short, to bring alternate views on Abrahamic
beliefs to different Abrahamic believers, and to bring logical
views on Abrahamic traditions to non-Abrahamic believers.
Just as the Dalai Lama was saying, it is important to know
these views in order to respect, or for that matter disrespect
the beliefs of others, while it is also important for those of the
Abrahamic faiths to know the common grounds between them
and to find reason in all of it. As a disclaimer- this section
does go into religion, not just science.
In my personal views, all people of Abrahamic faith
worship the same God- the God that Abraham followed, and if
someone of Abrahamic faith disagrees, then they are saying
there is another God than the one they follow. That would be
blasphemy in any Abrahamic faith (since all of these religions
say that no other God exists). That being said, all prayers
would go to the same God, and that God would hear all
prayers- because who else could hear them? It is upon this
middle ground that mutual respect, and therefore harmony can
be developed.
So this part is about bringing forward information on
Abrahamic tradition to both followers and non-followers of
those traditions. I have made a great attempt to make it accurate to all Abrahamic faiths including Islam, Christianity,
and Judaism. I will start with the beginning of time, and the
beginning of tradition in Abrahamic faiths, and work to the
more complex issues within these subjects.
***
We begin with the tradition of the universe’s creation.
According to Abrahamic faiths, the very first thing to happen
in this universe was God saying “let there be light,” and then
there was light, and it just so happens that science would
support this theory in the form of acoustic waves. One of the
major pieces of evidence for the big bang theory is “cosmic
microwave background radiation” picked up through radio
telescopes, and it is the sound waves from the big bang theory
that cause the galaxies to form in the way they do now. In
accordance with that theory, and the religious beliefs, the
Abrahamic faiths believe that Hebrew was the language of
creation, and is the sacred language of God. Along those same
lines, for long periods of history, Hebrew was used only as a sacred language and not used in everyday life, and to this day,
many people feel it is sacrilegious to say certain words and
phrases in Hebrew, since they would be saying them in
“God‘s language44
.
Moving along, if you are aware of computer code, or even the movie “The Matrix” for that matter, it would not be
hard to imagine words and code displaying as complex
groupings and structures of reality in everything we see around us, but in truth a
2 language itself being this
; code would be extremely
= - difficult. That being said, - Hebrew already is a
1 complex code in its own
- right, because every word
p
and every letter in the
U Hebrew language has a numerical value to it. This
numerical coding of the language is call Gematria, and while
some words ofArabic, Spanish, Greek, and Yiddish can be
calculated into Gematria, it is most widespread and easily
converted through the Hebrew language.
So what we see to this point is a number coded
language in which every word, even every sound has a complete numerical value, unlike any other language, and the
religious concept of Hebrew being the language of God
spoken at creation to form the world and universe. The last of
those being a concept from ancient time before computer code
or before even a general or scientific concept of the world and
universe was developed. Yet still, ancient legend backed by
linguistic-numerical code that can be either written, spoken, or counted still creates no basis for the for scientific belief for
being the center of all existence and all things. . . Until you
think of the string theory.
The string theory is a theory that was intended to prove
together the theories of quantum mechanics and general
relativity. It states that at the core of all particles, at the
smallest levels of elemental science, are little bands of energy
in string like forms. Though it would be a leap of a
hypothesis, it could be hypothesized from this theory that
these bands of energy at the smallest levels are bands of
Hebrew text or linguistic-numerical waves of sounds
resembling strings. Each Hebrew string would be energy from
audio, or bands of energy containing different properties
based on linguistic-numerical value. For example, the Hebrew
word “chai” means life, and has the numerical value of 18. So
it could be coded into other words through its numerical or
linguistic value, just as saying the word “chai” aloud sends
audio waves in a unique form, and when spelled out, the
Hebrew word of two letters forms a letter string- or word.
Therefore all together, words in Hebrew hold numerical
code value, audio sound value, and a physical written value;
additionally it is accepted by religious belief as the language
of creation. This means it fits every aspect to be possibly the
makeup of all existence, the ultimate code to the universe, or
the base of all energy. While being a long step to claim it as
fact in the theory of string theory, it appears to be a possible
contender. It may or may not be worth seeking deeper into this
subject, but I feel compelled to make the reasoning available.
A publication and discussion of the book: The Force that Acted - by Andrew S Edwards The Force that Acted is a short book tying together religion and science. From Newton's Laws in the Big Bang, the Properties of Zero and Infinity, and the significance of Jesus of Nazareth to Buddhism and Islam, the book explores the differences in concepts between the existence of a physically and scientifically proven God and the concepts of religion and culture.
