Faqir Chand’s experiences are important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles because they can be evidence that suggests that our brain’s ability to act as a virtual stimulator. The experiences illustrate the religious visions and miracles are illusions projected by consciousness. in the unknowing sage it states, “no rama, no krisna, no Buddha, and no baba faqir comes from without any body” this shows Faqir Chand’s experience of his disciples claiming to have seen Faqir Chand present, even though he may have actually not been in the presence of his disciples. This shows that when then someone experiences something, their minds want them to see that they are present. Everything that they experience are projections of their minds, the visions as well and the advice all come from within themselves, but believe in a higher being in their conscious minds. This can go with any religious mind, when something may occur that may be a vision or miracle, their minds can manipulate the fact that they have been in the presence of their religious leader, causing them to believe they have had help or reckoning from the higher being.
I think by the saying that, “philosophy done well is science” suggest that when all the philosophy comes together to one point, we can believe or agree with what is said. An example would be from the film, the cerebral symphony when it states, “ we are the result of a cerebral symphony, our sense of self or I’ness only arises when the neural ensemble reaches a sufficient harmony”. When all points of philosophy comes together, I believe that it can be stated in a sense of science. With philosophy, like science, needs to be backed with evidence or different forms of proof, and when someone comes up with all the points of facts, they can creat a philosophy that people would follow. Even when the philosophy is done poorly, it is still philosophy. As in science, there can be many theories, and although there can be plenty theories, they can refined after information is gathered and experimenting occurs. The same goes with philosophy. when evidence cannot be supported for the philosophic conclusion at hand, it is still considered philosophy until the evidence is proven.
