The Other Side

Death...The final frontier.

Okay enough of that. Every religion supports a belief in some kind of afterlife. Luckily for you atheists, you no longer have to trudge through the hardships of life working for thirty years just to ultimately be reduced to worm food. Science now has an explanation for you.

A few years ago scientists discovered what they've dubbed the "shadow" dimension, one parallel to our own that consists of an energy replica of every last animate entity on our planet. It is also considered by many white coats to be the fourth dimension. And here's the shocker: the concrete dimension we've grown to know and love makes up less than one percent of our universe. This includes all matter such as planets and everything contained therein - us included. So, if our dimension is completely replicated but accounts for only one percent of all existence, what is the shadow dimension replicating with the other ninety nine percent? The fourth dimension is said to include dimensions one through four, including placement, space, depth, and the fourth, time. But to spare you the headache of quantum physics (yes, this is quantum physics), I'll write an article on the science and what it means to us at another time.

At any rate, the Shadow Dimension contains energy duplicates of everything, both parallel and intersecting. This means you exist twice, and according to Einstein energy can not be destroyed, only altered. The outcome? Science has discovered the human soul, fated to forever perpetuate based on constant change and the raw dynamics of energy.

Quantum Physics and Religion

Every religion states that god is beyond our ability to comprehend it yet we put him in sandals and a robe, or some derivative thereof. Humans have created god in their own image, and I believe this is done in an effort to bring him closer to us, or to better understand the unfathomable. Therefor, when we reach different understandings of god conflict ensues.

Although many people believe that science and religion are at odds, they are in fact one in the same. Religion was once our science, now science has become our religion. Quantum physics suggests we exist beyond our ability to perceive ourselves and are limited to what we do perceive. This means that we cannot sense the energy that surrounds us, nor the souls that inhabit every body that surrounds you along with your own, but this doesn’t mean they do not exist. In other words, when you close your eyes the world does not go away. Many scientists suggest this theory may very well explain and/or confirm the existence of souls.

Humanity is laden with flaw, but from a positive view one might say our flaws are merely our separation from each other, our distinguishing characteristics. Our flaws are our humanity. I find it perplexing that people with beliefs different from most are considered insane, when mainstream religion is no more provable as truth. It seems that the more people that believe something, the more right it becomes. On that note I’d like to ask, what is the difference between religion and insanity – is it how close we think we are to god? And who are any of us to draw that line in the first place?

Many religions suggest that we are made from god, and even that we are each pieces of god and as one consciousness but different bodies we thrive and view the world from billions of different perspectives. If this is the case, we are god’s eyes and ears. God’s emotions, god’s drive, god’s ambition. This, I believe, is probable if you consider that god did create us in his own image. If so, perhaps we can understand god by better understanding ourselves.
