1) Why is Faqir Chand’s experiences important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles?
Faqir Chand is a famous yoga master, and during the war in 1919 he discovered transference. His army buddies started to worship Faqir because he gave directin and help through the hard times in combat. They called him a Guru. He did good by helping and getting them through the war along with his self but he has no recollection on how or why these visions had appeared before him. His following got so big he had disciples in his yoga classes and then miracously they were saying that he was appearing before them in their meditations and leading the way. Still Faqir has no idea or knowledge but he is literally healing the sick and the dying. So im thinking that his work was so important in his life because somehow maybe he tapped into something like they say in yoga to “Open the third eye.” So maybe he opened some kind of portal or telecommunication device literally telling and showing him the way. Giving him these powers from above that he never even dreamed of but all his disciples were telling him was happening.
2) What is meant by the phrase, "Philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy?
So philosophy has to do with so many subjects not only science but physics, mathematics, biology, neurology, and so many more. So they are saying if someone was too test out a theory and come out with an answer that is strictly scientific then they did their job because that is usually how it is. I mean think about the question "What is matter?" Now my goodness before this class I wouldn't have had a clue but also I don't even think I would have known were to look either. So if philosophy is done poorly then it looks like you didn't do all of your research.
