Lets consider some einstein Buddha parallels


According to general relativity, the concept of space detached from any physical content does not exist.

-Einstein
If there is only empty space, with no suns nor planets in it, then space loses its substantiality.

-Buddha
Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.

-Einstein
All such notions as causation, succession, atoms, primary elements...are all figments of the imagination and manifestations of the mind.

-Buddha
Time and again the passion for understanding has led to the illusion that man is able to comprehend the objective world rationally by pure thought without any empirical foundationsóin short, by metaphysics.
-Einstein By becoming attached to names and forms, not realising that they have no more basis than the activities of the mind itself, error risesÖand the way to emancipation is blocked.

-Buddha
In our thinking...we attribute to this concept of the bodily object a significance, which is to high degree independent of the sense impression which originally gives rise to it. This is what we mean when we attribute to the bodily object "a real existence." ...By means of such concepts and mental relations between them, we are able to orient ourselves in the labyrinth of sense impressions. These notions and relations...appear to us as stronger and more unalterable than the individual sense experience itself, the character of which as anything other than the result of an illusion or hallucination is never completely guaranteed.

-Einstein
I teach that the multitudinousness of objects have no reality in themselves but are only seen of the mind and, therefore, are of the nature of maya and a dream. ...It is true that in one sense they are seen and discriminated by the senses as individualized objects; but in another sense, because of the absence of any characteristic marks of self-nature, they are not seen but are only imagined. In one sense they are graspable, but in another sense, they are not graspable.

-Buddha
The belief in an external world independent of the perceiving subject is the basis of all natural science. Since, however, sense perception only gives information of this external world or of "physical reality" indirectly, we can only grasp the latter by speculative means. It follows from this that our notions of physical reality can never be final. We must always be ready to change these notionsóthat is to say, the axiomatic basis of physicsóin order to do justice to perceived facts in the most perfect way logically.

-Einstein
While the Tathagata, in his teaching, constantly makes use of conceptions and ideas about them, disciples should keep in mind the unreality of all such conceptions and ideas. They should recall that the Tathagata, in making use of them in explaining the Dharma always uses them in the semblance of a raft that is of use only to cross a river. As the raft is of no further use after the river is crossed, it should be discarded. So these arbitrary conceptions of things and about things should be wholly given up as one attains enlightenment.

If photons are messenger particles as Einstein said, and they come to the earth at an angle, Whu cant this be what tradilionolist call God. I would rather except this idea over some non provable religious crap.

If our brain which has twelve cranial nerves, twelve gates as the bible says, and twelve sighns of the zodiac, could this be the 144, which is the measure of the temple.

Maybe this is all mythology given to us by an ancient people that knew all this stuff. After all they gave us the speed of light in english measurements, in the book of numbers. as the tribe of juddah, facing east is 186,400.



Have we missed this story, because weve been to busy trying to read ancient scriptures literally, instead of metaphysically.

The bible says the LETTER kills, All things are allegory, and dark sayings etc.

Weve been going to church and not learning anything except lies and BS.

If we follow science, we are discovering that it leads to what ancient documents have been saying all along. So where did these ancient people get it?

2) Some of these #s bear a resemlance to numbers we have now.
2a) Yes, they do. Trust me on this.
3) This couldn't be a coincidence.
4) Therefore, God exists.

I'm with that. AFAIC it's an RRP, just not worth taking seriously unless you're being paid 80 bucks an hour to diagnose the best therapy.
