The document discusses several key topics regarding spirituality and a non-materialist view of the world. It questions the ability of materialism to explain origin, value, and meaning. It suggests we are eternal non-material parts of a greater whole. Our purpose is to evolve to spiritual consciousness through finding love and harmony as part of the whole. Meditation and purification can help by connecting to our unchanging core and removing mental "viruses".

Spirituality in the age of science - The hard problem of consciousness by Cha...Chaitanya Charan - The Spiritual Scientist
This document discusses the limitations of science and the need for spirituality. It contains quotes from scientists acknowledging that science is "silent" about things that really matter like beauty, ethics, and the nature of consciousness. While science can provide factual information, it cannot explain subjective experiences. The document argues that denying consciousness still affirms its existence and that viewing humans as just chemical robots removes free will and moral responsibility. It concludes that science can improve things but spirituality is needed to improve people.Near Death Experiences - Jacksonville 2017 by Chaitanya Charan Prabhu
Near Death Experiences - Jacksonville 2017 by Chaitanya Charan PrabhuChaitanya Charan - The Spiritual Scientist
Near-death Experiences (NDEs) involve extraordinary perceptions reported by people who were clinically dead or unconscious. NDEs have two aspects - other-worldly perceptions that are scientifically unexaminable, and this-worldly perceptions that are scientifically examinable. Cases like Pam Reynolds, who had an operation to repair an aneurysm where her body was cooled to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and her heartbeat and breathing were stopped, reported perceptions during this time that are difficult to explain by hallucination or semi-consciousness. Some scientists argue NDEs point to the possibility of consciousness existing separate from the physical brain and expanding the frontiers of science, as physics evolved by confronting evidence that couldn't be explained classTok presentation
The document discusses whether religion or science provides better guidance for determining what is right and wrong, using the example of animal cruelty. The author explores views from both perspectives on issues like animal testing, farming practices, and using animals for human gain. While science uses reasoning and evidence from animal experiments, religion generally promotes tolerance for animals. Both religion and science have roles to play, as some level of suffering may be necessary for progress, but not all predicted outcomes are unavoidable. Overall, the document examines how religion and science approach the complex issue of animal cruelty.
Ways of knowing (Memory and Imagination)
This document discusses memory and imagination. It explores how memories are formed through sense perception, language, and emotion. Memories can be personal, shared culturally, or part of collective memory stored in oral traditions, books, archives, etc. Memory is fallible and can be affected by factors like bias, amnesia, and dementia. Imagination is described as more important than knowledge, and plays a key role in creativity, storytelling, invention, innovation, and empathy. The power of imagination is discussed in contexts of business, science, and medicine.
The book eye doctor out of the box
The document summarizes an imaginary book called "Eye Doctor Out of the Box" by Dr. Ittyerah P. Tholath. The book envisions a solution to prevent aging, senility, and death. It discusses establishing concepts about death and treating it as a medical problem rather than a spiritual event. It introduces a new concept about cancer causation and argues the focus should be modifying cancer rather than eliminating it. The book explores the role of imagination in scientific progress and examines Einstein's quote about imagination being more important than knowledge.
Walking On The Edge
1. The document discusses the relationship between reason and experiences that defy rational explanation or are "ineffable".
2. It explores the views of philosophers from Thales to Plato who saw reason as the key tool to understand the world, as well as perspectives that acknowledge experiences of awe and mystery.
3. The document examines tensions between purely rational and fundamentalist viewpoints versus allowing for mysteries that reason cannot explain through experiences of beauty, ethics, or the sublime nature of reality.
Dissertation final copy July 2016
This document is a thesis submitted by Steven Coll to the University of Glasgow investigating the effect of mortality salience on implicit nationality bias. It begins with an abstract summarizing the study, which found that reminding people of their own death (mortality salience) did not significantly impact the strength of implicit nationality bias compared to a control group. It also found no correlation between self-esteem and implicit bias strength.
The introduction discusses terror management theory, which proposes that awareness of mortality creates anxiety that humans attempt to manage through developing self-esteem and adhering to cultural worldviews. It reviews evidence that reminding people of death can elicit or intensify negative attitudes towards out-groups. However, most research measures explicit rather than implicit
The Light of Truth
THE LIGHT OF TRUTH
By Paul H. Carr, PhD,
What is truth? That was the question Pilate asked Jesus.
In his sermon Doing the Truth, theologian Paul Tillich said “the Greek word for truth means making manifest the hidden. Truth is hidden and must be discovered.”
Scientific research uncovers new truths. “The good thing about science is that it’s true whether you believe in it or not,” according to Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Truth is the confirmation of appearance to reality,” according to mathematician-philosopher A.N. Whitehead.
“Reality, when you stop believing it, doesn’t go away,” according to bio-theologian Lucas Mix.
Fake News flies faster. Twitter falsehoods spread 6 times faster than truth, according to a MIT study.
“The more perspectives we learn to see from, the more truth we have access to” (philosopher F. Nietzsche).”

Are we the makers of our destiny?
This document discusses the concepts of destiny and free will. It argues that destiny determines the consequences of our actions, not our actions themselves. Destiny is defined as the aggregate reactions to our past actions delivered according to a higher plan, which includes concepts like sanchit karma, kriyaman karma, and prarabdha karma. The document acknowledges that while destiny plays a role, we can also change our destiny to some degree through our thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. It advises focusing on what we can change rather than what we can't, and increasing the distance between what happens to us and how we respond through spirituality.
Mind the mind by Chaitanya Charan Das
This document discusses how the human mind can sabotage itself through self-defeating behaviors like magnifying problems, imagining pleasures, neglecting opportunities, and denying reality. It provides examples like worrying about hypothetical problems or focusing on past pleasures instead of present opportunities. The document also presents ways to overcome these behaviors, such as meditating to gain inner calm, illuminating one's inner thoughts through spiritual wisdom, navigating inner pitfalls by journaling, and finding empowerment through spiritual community. The overall message is that the human mind can defeat itself if not properly guided, but spiritual practices can help illuminate the inner world and navigate self-sabotaging tendencies.

Each C is defined and guidelines are provided for how to incorporate that quality into messages to make communication effective. Correctness means using the appropriate language and style for the intended receiver. Clarity demands using simple language and structure so the meaning is easy to grasp. Conciseness means avoiding unnecessary words and being brief but complete. Completeness means including all necessary details to achieve the desired response. Consideration means seeing things from the receiver's perspective. Concreteness means using specific facts and vivid language rather than vagueness. Courtesy means being polite,
Shikshashtakam series at alachua
This document contains notes from lectures and discussions on Bhakti yoga and the Bhagavad Gita. It discusses concepts like ceto-darpana marjanam, kairava candrika vitaranam, anandambudhi vardhanam, and purnamrita. It also touches on topics like sentimentality versus spiritual emotion, love with and without reciprocation, and preserving devotional memories.

Key to success - go deep
The document provides a strategy called "Go DEEP" to achieve success, where each letter represents a step: D for Desire, E for Envision, E for Endeavor, and P for Pray. It advises to develop inner desires through journaling, turn visions into action with planning but flexibility, improve one's efforts and mindset through practice, and combine hard work with spiritual guidance through prayer and meditation to maximize success which depends on both endeavor and destiny.
Overcoming Obstacles in Spiritual Life - Alachua 2017
This document discusses overcoming obstacles in spiritual life. It advises understanding ideals while accepting practical realities, and using reason to chart a course from the practical to the ideal. It also discusses focusing on central spiritual matters rather than peripheral concerns, and positioning scripture as complementary to science rather than competing with it, with the overall purpose of knowing and loving God.
Tap the power of your mind
The document discusses how the mind can be both empowering and disempowering depending on how it is used. It recommends checking the mind's default setting of continuous distraction, and changing one's focus from worrying about things outside of their control to focusing on things within their control. Practices like yoga and meditation can help stabilize the mind and shift one's focus to spiritual realities in order to maximize contribution to others.
Overcoming Obstacles in Spiritual Life Alachua 2017 1 & 2
This document discusses overcoming obstacles in spiritual life through wisdom and understanding the mind. It explains that the mind needs to be "broken" or re-placed, not replaced, and focuses more on selecting desires than rejecting them. Temporary things should be used to focus on the eternal. Srila Prabhupada's expertise was in motivating people according to their identities and circumstances.
What your phone can teach you about your mind seattle
The document discusses how examining your phone usage can provide insights into your mind and habits. It notes that the mind can be understood as software that operates both inside and outside the body. It recommends changing unhealthy "default settings" of the mind, such as corrupting thoughts, just like changing settings on your phone. While medication has its place, true mental peace comes from spiritual practices like bhakti yoga which can act as an "anti-virus" for the mind by granting higher wisdom and happiness.
Overcoming Obstacles in Spiritual Life - Alachua 2017
Overcoming obstacles in spiritual life requires:
1. Focusing on self-improvement rather than how others see you.
2. Ensuring personal spiritual practices nourish loving exchanges with others, rather than criticizing institutions.
3. Developing tolerance for others and allowing others to tolerate differences in viewpoints.
Overcoming Obstacles in Spiritual Life - Alachua 2017
This document discusses overcoming obstacles in spiritual life. It advises focusing more on attachment to Krishna rather than detachment from the world. It also notes that defeat in battles with temptation does not mean defeat in the overall war for devotion. Detachment comes from devotion but one should remain softhearted, and bhakti is about relationships. Cherishing spiritual sense objects that stimulate the heart can help progress.
Spirituality for caregivers
This document discusses how to discover your inner power and leadership abilities through spirituality and managing your consciousness. It explains that we lose power through distraction and negative thoughts, and that our existence has three levels - body, mind, and soul. While improving the body is important, corrupted software (mind) cannot be treated that way. A review of research found many health benefits from religious faith and spirituality for things like longevity, reducing risky behaviors, and well-being. True spirituality changes how we perceive, process, and pursue life's challenges for the better. Meditation helps stabilize and elevate our consciousness so we can better access our inner abilities.
Rasa lila or rash lila
The document discusses the Rasa Lila dance between Krishna and the gopis in the Bhagavata Purana. It notes that the Rasa Lila is mentioned in Canto 1 Chapter 9 Verse 40 and described further in Canto 10. It explores the paradox of the renounced Krishna engaging in romantic pastimes. It discusses different perspectives on understanding the Rasa Lila from being drama directed by Yoga Maya to being a metaphor for the relationship between the individual soul and God. It emphasizes letting reason direct emotion in spiritual life rather than being sentimental or judgmental.
7csofcommunication 111216033224-phpapp01
The document discusses the 7Cs of communication: clear, concise, concrete, correct, coherent, complete, and courteous. Clear communication avoids vagueness and leaves no ambiguity about the topic or purpose. Concise communication avoids unnecessary words and repetition. Concrete communication uses vivid details and examples. Correct communication is free of errors and uses appropriate language. Coherent communication focuses on one main topic without changing subjects abruptly. Complete communication provides all relevant information. Courteous communication is polite, respectful, and avoids hostility or passive aggression.
Dining with a monkey by Chaitanya Charan
This document discusses the limitations of science and the need for spirituality. It makes three key points:
1) Science can describe physical phenomena and how things work, but cannot answer questions about origins, values, purpose and quality. It is limited to methodological naturalism.
2) Explanations for the origins of the universe cannot be reduced to "nothing exploded and created everything" or that "God explains the unexplainable".
3) Science cannot determine ethical values or purposes - it can describe how things are but not how they should be. Morality lies outside the realm of science. The document argues that spirituality is needed to address these limitations and make people better.
Have You Been Abducted By Aliens? Hasn’t Everybody?
A poll from 1998 found that about 0.33% of people surveyed believed they had been abducted by aliens. While this percentage extrapolates to about 1 million people in the US population, the margin of error is larger than the response percentage, so the true percentage cannot be definitively determined but is likely small. Reports of alien abductions increased in the 1980s as more signs of potential abduction were identified, such as anxiety in certain locations or recurring dreams. Lists have been compiled of common signs or experiences reported by alleged abductees, including missing time, paralysis, unusual scars or marks, sightings of lights or UFOs, and a sense of having a special mission or importance.

A Dilemma: A Layman Looks at Science by Raymond B. Fosdick
The document discusses the dilemma facing science in the wake of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It summarizes that the bombing stunned laypeople and made them realize how unequipped societies are to control the power of science. It presents the dilemma that the pursuit of truth through science has brought civilization to the brink of destruction by giving humanity the means to destroy itself. The author argues that science alone cannot be expected to restrain itself from discovery for moral reasons, but that societies must guide science's applications and stop war to avoid humanity's annihilation in an age when science enables unprecedented violence.
Is Anything True Any More?
The document discusses several worldviews including naturalism, scientism, materialism, and postmodernism. It argues that these worldviews cannot adequately answer important questions about reality, morality, the purpose of life, and what happens after death. The document also discusses how Christianity and its assumptions about the universe enabled the development of modern science. It asserts that naturalism/materialism is based on circular reasoning and fails to make its adherents better people.

Infectious Disease
Infectious diseases pose a greater threat than bioterrorism according to the document. Infectious diseases like the flu kill thousands annually and pandemics could kill millions globally if not addressed. While bioterrorism is feared, the likelihood of an attack is low compared to the certainty of infectious disease deaths each year. To best protect humanity, resources should prioritize surveillance and treatment of infectious diseases, especially in developing nations that lack infrastructure and could incubate pandemics.
Yuval noah harari threats
Yuval Noah Harari identifies 5 main risks and threats facing humanity:
1) The social consequences of COVID-19, including hatred, greed, and ignorance intensified by increased online surveillance.
2) The rise of nationalism limiting cooperation on issues like climate change that require global solutions.
3) Abuses of social media and data enabling the ability to "hack" human beings and spread tailored misinformation.
4) An uncontrolled arms race in artificial intelligence could result in humanity's destruction by powerful AI systems.
5) The threat of widespread fake news undermining truth and rational discourse.

Love may be unscientific but is it unreal
This document discusses the relationship between love, spirituality, and science. It notes that while science seeks material explanations for phenomena, love and spirituality are not fully explained by physical or chemical processes. The document advocates that science and spirituality can be complementary, with science explaining how things work and spirituality providing purpose and meaning. It encourages readers to be open to both rational inquiry and spiritual understanding.
Reincarnation - from romance to research
The document summarizes evidence from Dr. Ian Stevenson's research on reincarnation cases, including memories of past lives and matching birthmarks. It presents the case of Necip Unlutaskiran, a boy from Turkey who remembered details of his past life in a town 80 km away, including a scar on his wife's thigh. The probability of his 6 matching birthmarks occurring by chance is 1 in 160^6. The document argues fraud is an unlikely explanation and that reincarnation provides a rational explanation for the intersection between two non-intersecting lives through the non-material soul. It suggests reincarnation could redefine our understanding of relationships and fulfillment.
Discover your inner power
This document discusses discovering one's inner power through spirituality rather than just materialism. It argues that we are not just biochemical machines but possess souls beyond our physical bodies and minds. Quotes from Einstein, King, and others support how advancing science without also strengthening spirituality can lead people astray. The document suggests practicing yoga to connect with our inner spiritual power and find companionship with the supreme power within, which can change our perceptions and perspectives for the better by complementing our talents.

Ghosts, Spirits & Reincarnation - Understanding how the invisible affects the visible by Chaitanya Charan
Reincarnation Research – Science, Pseudo-Science & Scientism
Reincarnation Research – Science, Pseudo-Science & ScientismChaitanya Charan - The Spiritual Scientist
This document summarizes evidence for past-life memories and reincarnation from cases studied by Dr. Ian Stevenson. It describes one case in India where a boy spontaneously recalled details of a past life, including being able to identify relatives. It discusses various types of evidence for past-life memories and debates around whether these could be explained by fraud or coincidence. While some question whether this is pseudoscience, others argue Stevenson collected detailed cases that cannot be ignored or fully explained by alternative theories. The document advocates an open and humble approach to expanding scientific understanding of phenomena at its fringes.Reincarnation and the human quest for self understanding
This document discusses different perspectives on the purpose of life and what happens after death. It presents evidence from scientific studies of near-death experiences and past life memories to support the theories of resurrection or reincarnation. Specific case studies are described, such as a boy in Turkey who was born with birthmarks matching the wounds of a man who died before he was born. The document considers different explanations for the unequal circumstances people are born into and suggests multi-life progression may reconcile this with God's goodness. Implications are that belief in reincarnation provides meaning and hope to suffering in this life.
Light to see the world - Science, Spirituality and Life's Big Questions
Light to see the world - Science, Spirituality and Life's Big QuestionsChaitanya Charan - The Spiritual Scientist
1. Science alone cannot explain all phenomena like free will or provide meaning, and its view is limited like a flashlight in a balloon.
2. We have a deep craving for orientation and meaning beyond just material explanations. Spirituality can provide a foundation for science by helping us expand our understanding beyond just the visible.
3. While science has changed our world, we should remain open to the possibility that spirituality is not contradictory to science but may help explain aspects like the appropriateness of mathematics to physics that science cannot.World religions 3 - islam - beyond the politically correct and the politicall...

World religions 1 - appreciating religious diversity amidst spiritual univers...Chaitanya Charan - The Spiritual Scientist
This document discusses appreciating religious diversity from an inclusivist perspective. It presents the view that while all religions are not the same, they share the common purpose of spiritual realization. It quotes Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura advocating developing greater attachment to one's own faith while respecting other faiths, as God can be realized through different forms. The document suggests exclusivist statements aim to inspire focus rather than impose monopoly, and pluralist statements accommodate different views, while inclusivism sees religions as different levels on one path of spiritual progress. Religions should put God first rather than existing for their own sake.World religions 2 - christianity - beyond authoritarian and humanitarian reli...
World religions 2 - christianity - beyond authoritarian and humanitarian reli...Chaitanya Charan - The Spiritual Scientist
This document provides an overview of different religious traditions including Abrahamic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam which focus on historical events, and Dharmic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism which focus on timeless principles. It discusses key figures like Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed and how they relate to the founding of major world religions. The document also touches on concepts of morality, philosophy, and the evolution of views on God, scripture, and religion over time from more authoritarian to more humanitarian perspectives.Reincarnation - myth or reality
This document summarizes Dr. Ian Stevenson's research on reincarnation and past life memories. It presents three case studies of children who exhibited memories and birthmarks correlating with deceased individuals. It considers alternatives like fraud but finds them unlikely. It discusses the implications of reincarnation, namely that it provides a rational explanation for inequality and suffering by proposing they are results of past life actions. The document suggests reincarnation offers an opportunity for spiritual growth by becoming attracted not just to other individuals but to a greater whole.
Reincarnation - reality, rationality, opportunity
This document discusses evidence for reincarnation from studies of children's past-life memories and birthmarks correlating with wounds on deceased individuals. It presents two case studies from Turkey showing strong evidence of reincarnation. It argues reincarnation provides a rational explanation for life's inequities by suggesting current circumstances are due to actions from past lives. The document also notes implications that belief in reincarnation could promote virtue and deter vice more than other religious doctrines. Overall, it aims to demonstrate the reality of reincarnation and how it can provide meaning and opportunity.
Anxiety management
This document discusses how to transform anxiety into intensity through spirituality. It suggests that worry is a self-defeating activity if unmonitored, but that spirituality can change how we perceive, process, and pursue life's challenges. Specifically, it recommends focusing on what is within our control with intensity rather than focusing on what is not within our control with anxiety. Meditation is presented as a way to stabilize and elevate consciousness.
Proactive leadership
This document discusses proactive leadership and personal development. It emphasizes that personal leadership is the foundation for public leadership, and that everyone can work on becoming a better personal leader. It also discusses understanding one's inner landscape, with the body representing hardware, mind representing software, and soul representing the user. The document provides guidance on how to proactively change one's perceptions, thought processes, and actions by focusing on what is within one's control rather than what is not. Meditation and spirituality are presented as ways to stabilize consciousness and tap into one's abilities.
Tap the power of consciousness
This document discusses how consciousness is our most essential power and enables us to tap into our physical, electrical, and intellectual powers. It states that stray thoughts can steal our consciousness and use it against us, leaving us feeling distracted and disempowered. The document introduces concepts from the Bhagavad Gita such as the tripartite model of the self consisting of body, mind, and soul. It advocates purification through changes in how we perceive, process, and pursue things in life in order to elevate our consciousness through meditation.
Science Vs Religion - Toronto
Science and spirituality are two different genres of knowledge that do not apply the same rules to each other. Science looks at only matter and uses methodological naturalism to explore the physical world, while spiritual matters like the soul, mind, emotions, and God are beyond what science can directly observe or measure. While science and spirituality operate on different platforms, with science focusing on the gross physical reality and spirituality on more subtle realities, there are some aspects of reality that may exist beyond what science can currently explain.

OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
