Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 "Eastern civilizations have known about Chi for thousands of years and this understanding forms the basis of their medical and religious practices. The western culture, especially physicists, doctors, and scientists have never been really convinced of the realty of Chi, because our western scientists "could not prove it exists" by currently understood measurement techniques. This scientific process is also hampered because Chi descriptions are discounted since they do not conveniently fit in our western scientific paradigm.To understand Chi in terms of quantum fields please visit:http://www.matzkefa mily.net/ doug/papers/ chiwater. htmlThe most recent advances in western scientific research on quantum mechanics and information technology combined to provide framework for understanding the non-physical information fields of quantum mechanics in regard to quantum gravity theories. Just as Einstein showed that energy and matter are equivalent, these modern theorists are showing that energy and information are equivalent."If one studies above paper along with its references with open mind, it will be clear why spiritualism is ahead of science by light years. All the scientists recognized for achievements (both western and eastern) were philosophers in quest of knowing "what we are"!It also needs to be noted that this list aims include discussion on yoga. Yoga is not just twisting body into aasanas. Discovering our true "self" is the ultimate aim. Hence thinking that "anything other than herbs, decoctions, VPK, etc is off-topic for this list" is not correct. How do we explain acharyas denoting some conditions under grah-peeda, bhoot-peeda? what about incurable diseases being attributed to karma? The master stroke of acharyas is "pragyaparadaha" as the root cause of all diseases, whether body or mind affected.While western science looks at nerve compressions in vertebrae as source of some conditions, a yoga teacher discovers simple exercises to cure sciatica, back pain, spondyloytis etc. by simply studying the nature deeply. Another yogi discovers effectioveness of pranayama which has become a miracle all accross globe recently. Yogis do not use their physics knowledge but use metaphysics, not necessarily learnt in universities. It is this phenomenon which is loosely termed third eye by this author.Which science is superior? www.iamnolabrat.com Try the new India Homepage.
