1. Faqir Chand’s experience is important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles because it gives some sort reassurance to the people that are religious. From a religious point of view it gives faith that there is a God and Faqir Chand’s experience can help support it. In the book The Unknowing Sage The Life and Work of Faqir Chand, Faqir Chand describes a vision he had while he was asleep. “This experience convinced me that God had incarnated Himself in the form of Maharishi Shiv Brat Lal. So I started to write one letter every week and send it to the address that appeared in m vision” (26). Faqir Chand entrusted his vision and the result was positive. He put his faith in his vision and believed he saw God.
2.
“Philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy.” To me, the phrase means if philosophy isn’t explored thoroughly, then it will remain philosophy. Philosophy explores the universe and seeks theories to answers questions that have been dwelling for years. If philosophy isn’t explored from all areas of science then it remains philosophy instead actually going and trying to solve mysteries of the universe.
