Applications of the Theory of Atman?
143227
Your aatma (that's how I spell it) or soul takes many forms. In one life you could be a tree, an insect in the next... and so on.  \n\nI believe in the theory of Karma: What goes around comes around. you naturally pay for any action sooner or later. If it is an evil deed, you suffer in the form of stress, negative vibes in your family affecting members' health... etc. \n\nThis can be explained in the following way: by doing evil, you spread it: somebody else who got caught in the ripple effect of your evil will spread it further, and so on, and eventually you will suffer too. \nIn this way, you have to pay for it in this birth or the next one. \n\nYou may say that the innocent will get caught in the ripple effect too, so why talk about the sinners getting punished? You see, that is the reason why we should prevent evil and not be mere observers. Just because we are not doing anything evil does not make us saints... we should all strive to make this world a better place, just as Gandhiji said. That way we will be able to slow down the ripple effect of evil by starting more and more ripple effects of good. \n\nAccording to the theory of reincarnation, your soul remains intact while you change bodily forms, all the while reaping the fruits of your past actions. \n\nIt's a simple theory of cause and effect.

There probably wouldn't be too many practical uses for unification.  It would be an enormous triumph of the human intellect though.  Just think about it, according to a unified theory all the forces of nature would be manifestations of just one fundamental force....thats pretty cool.  We would be one step closer to "knowing the mind of God".  However it is possible that some practical devices may come from such a theory.  Things like the artificial gravity that you see in Star Trek.  Maybe even antigravity....thats a big maybe though.

The soul (atman) of all living beings is of the same essence except that it varies in purity.\n\n\nSoul (Atman) in hinduism is that core of life in absence of which the existence of the body itself gets negated. Atman in hinduism stands for our soul which resides in the heart within the body. For that matter... every single living being... be it the form of an insect, plant or an animal... the presence of atman is a confirmed fact.\n\nIt is this fact of atman which makes India... the spiritual centre of the world. Why?\n\nSoul Atman is the only true existence of life. Without an atman... everything in the Cosmos becomes inert matter. At the time of the birth of a being... the body gets activated by the atman within. The pumping of a heart is directly related to the presence of the atman within the heart.\n\n\nRight from the beginning of the Cosmos with a big bang... it is only the journey of the atmans that led to hospitable planets like mother earth being born. The big bang resulted in all the atmans existing in the Cosmos getting scattered all over the Cosmos.\n\nAs the environs become conducive for a life to germinate... the atman settles down. This relationship between every atman and mother earth is very unique. Unless mother earth permits every atman... none can germinate itself culminating into a beautiful living being.\n\nThe journey of life (by the atman) from the first manifestation as an amoeba to the last manifestation... the 8.4 millionth manifestation when life reaches its pinnacle... the stage of an enlightened one being born... is the only crux of life one needs to understand!

That sounds like a very interesting propostion and I would be more than happy to take it up if I weren't studying for my final examinations now. I am free from mid June onwards! But do give me more details into your project and what help you'll need!

There are a number of interesting areas that are in development:\n\nThese are in no particulkar order:\n\n1. Supersymmetric String Theory. Mathematicians are trying to pull together a cohesive set of equations that prove the existence of up to 26 alternate dimensions. It is considered one of the most promising candidate theories of quantum gravity. Unlike bosonic string theory, it is the version of string theory that incorporates fermions and supersymmetry.  The deepest problem in theoretical physics is harmonizing the theory of general relativity, which describes gravitation and applies to large-scale structures (stars, galaxies, super clusters), with quantum mechanics which describes the other three fundamental forces acting on the microscopic scale.\n\n2. Collabroative Filtering. This has been on the rise in recent years. It's basically a set of equations that determine group behavior. The most common application is an attempt to predict an individual buyers tastes based on what they buy and other people that purchase the same material. Amazon.com are already using a version of Collaborative Filtering. More recently, collaborative filtering has been used in e-learning to promote and benefit from students' collaboration.\n\n3. Genetics, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics. There is a lot of emphasis on mathematical prediction analysis, particurly in the field of genetics: the statistical analysis of the effects of germs, viruses on immune cell diversity; developing methods to predict the structure and/or function of newly discovered proteins and structural RNA sequences; clustering protein sequences into families of related sequences and the development of protein models; aligning similar proteins and generating phylogenetic trees to examine evolutionary relationships. Biostatistics is the application of statistical techniques to scientific research in health-related fields, including medicine, biology, and public health, and the development of new tools to study these areas.\n\n4. Number Theory. This is always a strong area as there never seems to be a shortage of research candidates: prime number theory, probabilistic number theory, elliptic curves, Galois module structure, deformations of Galois representations, Iwasawa theory, Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Ramanujan's Notebooks, modular forms, partition theory, special functions, elliptic functions (elliptic integrals), geometry of numbers, Diophantine approximation, arithmetic functions, sieves, transcendence and irrationality, continued fractions, q-series, and coding theory.\n\n5. Logic: Axiomatic Systems and Set Theory. Set Theory is the mathematical science of the infinite. It studies properties of sets, abstract objects that pervade the whole of modern mathematics. The language of set theory, in its simplicity, is sufficiently universal to formalize all mathematical concepts and thus set theory, along with Predicate Calculus, constitutes the true Foundations of Mathematics. As a mathematical theory, Set Theory possesses a rich internal structure, and its methods serve as a powerful tool for applications in many other fields of mathematics. Set Theory, with its emphasis on consistency and independence proofs, provides a gauge for measuring the consistency strength of various mathematical statements. There are four main directions of current research in set theory, all intertwined and all aiming at the ultimate goal of the theory: to describe the structure of the mathematical universe. They are: inner models, independence proofs, large cardinals, and descriptive set theory.

Intresting point, but you would have to construct a panatropic net with which to store a Matrix of all the dead minds. However, we're not far off making that discovery! ;0)

There is a book you might like to read. Here's a blurb about it from the link below. You can it it cheaper at Amazon.com\n\nChaos Theory in the Social Sciences Paperback\nChaos Theory in the Social Sciences, Foundations and Applications\n\nChaos Theory in the Social Sciences: Foundations and Applications offers the most recent thinking in applying the chaos paradigm to the social sciences. The book explores the methodological techniques -- and their difficulties -- for determining whether chaotic processes may in fact exist in a particular instance and examines implications of chaos theory when applied specifically to political science, economics, and sociology. The contributors to the book show that no single technique can be used to diagnose and describe all chaotic processes and identify the strengths and limitations of a variety of approaches. The essays in this volume consider the application of chaos theory to such diverse phenomena as public opinion, the behavior of states in the international arena, the development of rational economic expectations, and long waves. \n\nhttp://www.shop.com/op/aprod-p39450192?sourceid=13

Yes, everything in this world belongs to him... for humans and all beings are but doers.\n\nEver since the beginning of time God has always remained a Dhrista onlooker... right from the stage of the Big Bang and to the last stage of every Cosmos... the dissolution itself, the role of God has never been of a Karta (doer)! Every Jiva living being for that matter lives by the doctrine of karma and governs itself.\n\n God on the whole is the full puzzle and every individual soul atman being individual parts of the large puzzle. As and when an individual soul atman reaches the stage of enlightenment and finally salvation... this particular piece of puzzle comes back to join the main puzzle. It is only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs that all pieces of the puzzle reach their 8.4 millionth manifestation in order to complete the puzzle.\n\nReaching back to the source has been termed as reaching the kingdom of heaven in Christianity. in hinduism one reaches the level of Baikuntha... the abode of God!\n\nRight from the first manifestation as an amoeba and to the last as a human being... the only purpose of the soul atman within is to purify itself and come back to its original pristine form. It is only then the soul atman shall reach the stage of Baikuntha (abode of God in Hinduism). The total cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations is intended for that. A total travel of 96.4 million earthly years... a long journey indeed! More here- http://www.godrealized.com/god.html

Understanding the whole concept of heaven...\n\n\nHeaven that is also called as Swarga in Hinduism is the stage when our Atman the soul within waits for a suitable body for it to manifest again. This Atman the soul within has a balance of positive merits due to which it remains in heaven (Swarga).\n\nAny Atman the soul within that has a negative balance of merits is awarded hell, also known as Naraka in Hinduism. Naraka (hell) is also the stage when our Atman the soul within is in waiting for the next manifestation to occur.\n\nBriefly, it can be stated, that if we have the balance of positive merits from zero to plus hundred we shall be awarded the stage of Heaven (Swarga) after our "Atman, The soul Within" has left the mortal frame. However if the balance of merits is between zero and minus hundred our Atman the soul within shall be given a place in hell (Naraka).\n\nHeaven (Swarga) and hell (Naraka) are interim stages in the cosmic Life cycle of our Atman the soul within. The moment this Atman the soul within gets matching parents on Mother Earth... it shall again manifest a body... the body can be that of a Human Being and also of an animal depending upon the balance of merits or demerits possessed by the Atman.\n\nAs stated clearly in the Bhagavad Gita... the foremost of all sacred scriptures (the doctrine dictated by Lord Krishna to King Arjuna in the battlefield of Mahabharata between the Pandavas and the Kauravas... no Atman the soul within can directly gain immortality from Heaven.\n\nLord Krishna is considered as an Avatar (a direct incarnation of God) in Hinduism. He descended on Mother Earth roughly 1000 years before Bhagwan Mahavira, 1077 years before Gautama Buddha, about 1500 years before Jesus Christ and about 1700 years before the advent of Prophet Mohammed.
