The Kepler Space Mission Findings of 2013 and the Urantia Book Revelations of 1955 !

When I read the latest revealings of space exploration findings of multi-billion dollar Kepler Space Mission project of NASA, confirming the gradual increase of the number of discoveries about the existence of  planets beyond the solar system, I become happy and sad at the same time.

I feel happy because of the gradual enhancement of our scientific space exploration capabilities which enable us to look deeper into the vast space outside through our modern radio telescopes and other such gadgets fitted on to deep  penetrating space vehicles.

But I also feel sad, because of the inability of our scientists to understand certain inherent limitations of our capabilities, however, hard we try and the  reluctance of the so-called scientific community to acknowledge  certain knowledge revelations provided to human beings from non-human sources which provide such information such as what the Kepler mission has found out now and much more.

Yes, I am referring to those information that our scientists should be very much interested which are revealed in my favorite guide book, the Urantia Book which got published in 1955. [To know more about this book visit my Urantia-India site dedicated to this book] 

This book tells how the universe is being planned, organized, administered and continuously getting expanded in a controlled evolutionary process as determined by the Universal Father God. The book tells us more about suns, stars, comets, galaxies, black holes, super novas, planets which cannot sustain life and planets which can sustain material life such as earth. It also gives us information about huge globes much bigger than earth which are made specially, called architectural worlds, which number in billions  functioning as the head quarter worlds of celestial governments which are the normal homes of various orders of celestial beings, in contrast to the trillions of evolutionary planet worlds which are homes to material beings such as we human beings of earth.

Let me reproduce below a few statements from this book where the super human authors tell us about these:

Irrespective of origin, the various spheres of space are classifiable into the following major divisions:

1. The suns—the stars of space. 

2. The dark islands of space.  

3. Minor space bodies—comets, meteors, and planetesimals.  

4. The planets, including the inhabited worlds

5. Architectural spheres—worlds made to order. 

With the exception of the architectural spheres, all space bodies have had an evolutionary  origin, evolutionary in the sense that they have not been brought into being by fiat of Deity, evolutionary in the sense that the creative acts of God have unfolded by a time-space technique through the operation of many of the created and eventuated intelligences of Deity.

The superuniverse of Orvonton ( The universe region where our earth is located, which is told as approximately one seventh of the total material universe mass) is illuminated and warmed by more than ten trillion blazing suns. These suns are the stars of your observable astronomic system. More than two trillion are too distant and too small ever to be seen from Urantia (name given in the Urantia Book to identify our world, earth). But in the master universe there are as many suns as there are glasses of water in the oceans of your world.

The laws of physical-energy behavior are basically universal, but local influences have much to do with the physical conditions which prevail on individual planets and in local systems. An almost endless variety of creature life and other living manifestations characterizes the countless worlds of space. There are, however, certain points of similarity in a group of worlds associated in a given system, while there also is a universe pattern of intelligent life. There are physical relationships among those planetary systems which belong to the same physical circuit, and which closely follow each other in the endless swing around the circle of universes.

The above information as given in the Urantia Book was made public to human beings in the years 1955 when this revelatory book was published in English language in USA for the first time. However, it is believed that the manuscript of the book was actually given to human beings some time in the 1920's.

So what is being discovered out by the Kepler Space Mission now in 2013 ? 

Let me quote some of the reports of this mission as provided by NASA for public information as in 2013:

" Kepler's greatest contribution is not a single new found planet or planetary system but rather the systematic look at worlds beyond our solar system that it's giving scientists. For example, Kepler observations have revealed that small, rocky planets like Earth are much more common throughout the Milky Way galaxy than gas giants such as Saturn or Jupiter, at least in close-in orbits."

" Kepler-62e and 62f are perhaps the most promising life-hosting candidates yet found beyond our solar system. The planets, which are 1.6 and 1.4 times the size of Earth, respectively, may both be water worlds whose global oceans are teeming with life, researchers say. Their discovery was announced in April 2013."

"In December 2011, astronomers announced the discovery of Kepler-22b, the Kepler mission's first potentially life-supporting planet. Kepler-22b is 2.4 times as large as Earth and orbits a star very much like our sun."

OK, you can find out all those Kepler mission information by searching the Internet. [Else Click this link ]

But those information as of now are only the tip of the iceberg. We have been provided with a herculean task for future discoveries by the Urantia Book authors by revealing to us before hand what is to be expected to be discovered by us in future !

Considering the fact that NASA's Kepler mission has already vindicated what is written in the Urantia Book, I personally feel there is no need for USA or any other country to spend huge sums just to find more such findings but never to reach any where near what is revealed in the Urantia Book.

If it would have predicted  by any tom-dick-and-harry scientist, he would have now become the greatest scientist human being have ever seen. That would have been the media projection and publicity!

But since these information is made available to human beings by those beings whom normal human beings cannot recognize anyway, the poor earthly beings appear confused of what to do ! 

If human beings thought of God with their scientific intelligence, they would have already declared the Urantia Book a mandatory study book in the universities across the world. That would have caused thousands of humans opening up their closed brains for digesting more and more wisdom for a better living on this earth ! 

But unfortunately, I find many eager activities by many humans to discredit this book as a cult book from Satan even ever trying to read it wholly or trying to understand what it says. Of course, why such a kind of situation exists on earth is also clearly explained in the Urantia Book.

But as warned by the Urantia Book, I should not get anxious. Things would take its own time and it would happen in the appropriate time. 

No scientist can make a child born in a few weeks of conception instead of the nine month's time that God has mandated, even when they have discovered all the biological processes involved !

Mr Vipin Kumar Aggarwal - the Beginning of Our Mystical Friendship and My Search for Spiritual Truths!

It was some time in the late Nineteen Nineties that I began to face a period of utter professional slackness in my career as an engineer after about two decades of service in the public sector steel plant at Bhilai. The company was passing through a dull phase of activities. Perhaps there were also some professional jealousies from the side of a few of my colleagues and seniors that they thought it desirable for them to keep me almost  aloof from important professional assignments that otherwise could have engaged me fully  in my work. All these invariably resulted to give me enough time to engage my mind in non professional things of life as well even during office hours !

In a way it was a blessing in disguise, indeed !

There was enough time for me to think , read and explore the world wide web. I also had enough time now to have informal interactions with a few of my colleagues and juniors who used to come to my cabin at their leisure. But Mr. Vipin Kumar Aggarwal was not one among them. 

Mr Vipin Kumar Aggarwal, as I knew, was a dynamic electrical engineer, a bit flamboyant in his youthful times and a couple of years senior to me. He had joined the department I worked after having some illustrious career in a few other departments in our company. We were just casual professional acquaintances and we knew pretty little about each other.

So, I was surprised one day when Mr Aggarwal came to my cabin when I was alone and requested an appointment from me to spare an hour or so the next day for some important  private talk. After getting my nod, he just went away making me wondering about what it could be !

The next day, sharp at the appointed time he came to my cabin and sat down in front of me. It was about noon, may be an hour before our scheduled official lunch recess time. When I inquired the matter, with a friendly smile he made a request which I felt as odd and strange: He wanted me to teach him about my religion and my concepts about God !

In the Hindu predominated organization and region where I worked, people perhaps referred me as a Christian because that is not very unusual in this part of our country. Though no one did that in my presence, I knew it because of the way the majority identified people of other communities when those being referred were not present.

Though India is constitutionally a secular country, writing one's religion and caste are mandatory when one is required to apply for any government job or something similar to that. Thus I happened to be a Christian in the general category not eligible for any government concessions similar to the upper caste Hindus. In India, religious belief has nothing to do with one's official religious status ! The freedom to declare one's religious status officially as per one's belief from time to time does not exist. Religious status quo gets passed on from generation to generation unless one takes the great pains to get it changed officially taking much pains !

At the time of this story, I was in reality a nominal Christian, not paying much attention to God or spirituality in my life. No one who knew me till then could have ever perceived me as a religious person !

So this odd request from this Hindu colleague made me perplexed. Perhaps he was misguided by someone ! I told this to him frankly. He had come to a wrong person to get spiritual education and knowledge about Christianity. 

But to my surprise, he admitted that he knew about my spiritual or religious pauperism and yet wanted me to give him some discourse on Christianity and spiritualism, in whatever way I could. I could not turn down his request some how. 

So, I turned out to become  a private guru to Mr Aggarwal from that day onward. I began my discourses  on religion , spirituality and my concepts of God to my sole and special disciple whom I found out to be an attentive pupil, listening patiently and quietly whatever I said. For a few days he kept coming to me to spend about an hour in my office cabin almost always at the same time observing a remarkable punctuality. 

In a couple of day's time, my knowledge resources stored in my mind dried out forcing me to read my Bible at home so that I could teach my pupil some thing new for an hour the next day.

Though  Mr Aggarwal was a silent listener in the beginning,  he began to question and discuss on the topic in the later days. One day he said that what ever I discussed so far had may things similar to what is written in the Bhagawat Gita- the legendary discourse of Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Indian epic Mahabharat. That was the time that I realized that my student was not that ignorant as he pretended to be in the beginning !

As my knowledge of Gita was almost nothing at that time, he brought me an English version of Gita for me to read. The compulsion to teach this insisting  student forced me to read Gita carefully. I was surprised to find some touching truths which were similar to many concepts in the Bible in a broader way.

As we progressed, it became necessary for me to read the English version of the Quran and I was touched by its authoritative style of telling moral and spiritual commands to ignorant human beings taking most of the biblical stories and events as the fundamental theme.  More importantly I was surprised to find the higher level of reverence that the Quran attributed to Jesus Christ.

These striking similarities in the major religions of the world touched me and we discussed these and the failure of these religions to bring peace to man kind. We discussed the chaos being created in the world by the religionists even when the religions taught some thing just the opposite in their holy texts.

Our spiritual studies and discussions this way  continued for some time when for the first time I talked about Satan and his nefarious opposition to God and such things the way it came into my mind.

And that day suddenly Mr Aggarwal declared that he got what he wanted to know. He was realizing something called the activities of an invisible power which acted against God's will in this earth. He told me that now he was in a position to connect certain things and this was some knowledge no guru taught him earlier. He thanked me profusely for teaching him a very fundamental truth, though I could not understand the reason for this kind of a gesture from this gentleman at that time.

Till that day I had never asked him why he had chosen to come to me, an ordinary mortal of no known spiritual goodness, to learn and discuss spiritual things. But now as he appeared fully satisfied in his learning and apparently found out what he wanted to find, I asked him that.

He was very reluctant to disclose the answer to that initially. With my persistence he finally agreed to tell me. But on a pre-condition: I should not treat him as an insane personality and keep what he told as a secret to my self if I found it non acceptable. I agreed.

Then he told me that personal secret of his that he kept almost to himself all through out his life. He told me that he had a few past lives. He has some memories of his past lives and even memories of the way he died in some of the lives earlier and some memories of being guided by 'devdoots' (angels) while he was existed after his death. He also had some memories of the devdoots taking him to the presence of a radiating presence of light whom the devdoots introduced as 'god'. And the god he met in this life after death commanded that he would have one more life , perhaps his last, though he was not desiring it. The life after death appeared more desirable to him.

Very importantly he had vivid memories of seeing his would be parents in his present life before he was born.  He told me, he had verified those and found out those things true from his parents later in his life. In the present life he was not very happy during his childhood days. He wanted to go back to his life after death and so secretly he planned to commit suicide while he was a teenager. But he got some directions in his mind that he would meet a person or guru who would give him some important knowledge later and after getting that knowledge, he would no longer be required to take a rebirth as a human again.

Mr Aggarwal being interested in esoteric knowledge soon become interested in such things commonly believed and practiced in his Hindu community, such as astrology, numerology, etc and gained quite good expertise in these topics as well while he pursued his normal studies to become and electrical engineer.

I listened patiently to his story. To tell the truth, I neither believed him nor disbelieved him. I was becoming a learner and listener. I had trained my self by this time not to judge any one without fully knowing the facts or applying my mind fully over it. It could perhaps be a mere coincidence that during those days I happened to read a news paper report about a German professor visiting India in search of individuals who remembers their past lives and this professor had reportedly studied over two hundred individuals and found some truths in those cases.

There are many things in this world beyond the normal understanding of formal scientists and intellectuals, my mind told me. There exists truths transcendental to material truths that are not perceptible to the ordinary human minds. I was also beginning to understand the existence of God, a supreme intellectual mind in designing and maintaining our world. A curiosity to know more about God was taking roots in my mind.

But some later happenings that happened in a month's time forced me to give some credentials to what Mr Aggarwal told me. First, some of my other colleague have by this time noticed Mr Aggarwal's secret and regular visits to my office cabin and some of them inquired me about it. Many of them knew his backgrounds much more than me ! For some of them, he was a reliable amateur astrologer who could read their zodiacs and describe their past or predict their future quite remarkably. At the same time he used to be quite a worldly man with perhaps some vices for others to talk about. He was  also well built,  handsome, healthy and energetic, capable of undertaking many activities concurrently. So there was some truth in what he told me and yet there were some things not fully understood by me.

He admitted his astrological knowledge and some incidences that happened miraculously as predicted by him. In those days, I never believed in astrology and considered it as a pure pseudo science and I told my opinion to him. However, we decided to examine astrology with a critical but unbiased approach. As a test of that, he told me that he was to face one of the greatest life threatening situation in a couple of days from then and he might not survive death as per his calculations based on his birth chart. His calculations showed a small chance of survival and living for another few more years, but with great physical debility. But while detailing this to me, he appeared very calm and happy. He told me that, he felt happy because he would not have another rebirth as the knowledge he was supposed to gain had been obtained from his guru now. I did not know whether I should believe him or not, but yet I consoled and ridiculed him telling that a person like his bodily health as of then was not going to have any such problems at least so immediately as he told.

But I was wrong. In another a week's time I learnt the news of him getting admitted in the ICU with a massive heart attack. When he was temporarily shifted to the ward, before being taken to the super specialty hospital in New Delhi for an open heart surgery, I visited him. Debilitated and sick with an imminent risk to life, I found him extremely happy in his sick bed. In fact he had made a scene in the hospital with every one to convey the news to me so that I could meet him in the hospital. When I entered his cabin in the hospital, he rose up to receive me with a gleam, quite unusual of any heart attack victim in a hospital bed, disregarding the immobility advice from his doctors. Enhancing my embarrassment, he was non hesitant to declare to all those of his friends and family-all of them strangers to me- about me being his latter day guru and his gladness to go to the other world even if death over powered him then. He even forced me to place my hands over his head and pray for him in silence, some thing that I had never done in my life !

He was moved to New Delhi shortly and he underwent a difficult open heart surgery and survived. When he returned back and joined back in service, he remained as a good friend to me and is still continuing his friendship, though he had forgotten many of the detailed memories that he had before he had the attack.

His astrological predictions proved true. In our later day friendship during the next decade we had some occasions to critically observe some birth signs and predict some future course of events with certain level of accuracy.

All these have considerably enhanced my curiosity to seek and search for spiritual truths while I continued my normal life both professionally and at home. And my continuous search finally landed me in finding and knowing the revelatory knowledge of the Urantia Book.[click the linked name of the book to know more] Though the Urantia Book does not seem to support either the apparent truthfulness of the astrological predictions or the rebirth story similar to what Mr Aggarwal had, I have found out the clues that make such things appear as truthful.

In reality our world is full of partial truths making those who are not fully aware getting to take it as fully true or fully false. It is indeed very difficult to extract the fine grains of truth from a field full of scattered husk and hay of untruths !

I did  not have any intention to reveal the above said story of Mr Aggarwal so soon. But again it was he who sent me an e-mail recently with a detailed description of his memories of god and the other world, a couple of days ago, asking me to publish it through my blogs. After a decade of debilitated life after his surgery coupled with his other chronic diseases of diabetes with extremely high dependency on insulin he seems to believe his second innings of life coming to a near end. He wants the world to know his story and think about God too while they keep pursuing their worldly goals.

While I do not purport to convey the idea of a whole some truth in Mr Aggarwal's experiences, I do support  what he stated as his experiences as true from his side. I now know that human mind as it is resident on the material brain is a receptacle which could receive and process communications from multiple sources and we may not really have the capacity to understand all those sources.

But to me this real life story is an instigator of thought for a few people in this world who are willing to think beyond common material understanding of life.

When I analyse the experience of Mr Aggarwal from the knowledge I now have from the Urantia Book, I can make some conclusions as the following:

1. Devdoots (invisible celestial personalities of varying powers and functions who exist in a non material realm commonly also referred as angels) are real and are not some myths. Similarly there are personalities who are celestial rulers who could be in a way be understood as gods of varying powers gaining their godly powers from the One and Only One Universal Father God, the First Source and Centre of Everything and the Original and Eternal God. While devdoots have a normal invisible existence, they are in many ways superior to human beings in mind capacities. But all devdoots are not perfect followers of God's will; many of them in the immediate vicinity of humans are capable of deceiving gullible human beings, distracting them away from truths. This latter phenomena is particularly true as far as earth and earthly beings are concerned. On earth there are millions of such invisible devdoots who have deviated from God's service to follow a rebel  godly ruler of the lower order now commonly known as Lucifer and a few of his companions of similar order and standing. Under normal circumstances no human being as of now can know the actions of the devdoots (angels) whether they are rebels or not. But the rebel devdoots on earth are capable of influencing pliable human minds under certain circumstances. Since they have chosen to be rebels to the Supreme Godly organization, what they normally try to undertake most clandestinely is to create situations to twist truths so that humans are confused either in believing in the existence of God or know the true God and His will. This becomes more damaging when the rebels continue their nefarious activities while the good ones keep following God's  rules strictly.

2. If devdoots are a reality, Deity or God is also a reality. But for human beings of earth it is also important to realize that the lower level godly rulers of the Lucifer lot are also much like gods and what Lucifer and his lot have been trying in some material worlds like earth have been to establish and project him as god ignoring the fact that their power and seemingly endless life that they have are obtained from God. They stand to lose when the seemingly slow process of God's merciful justice gets implemented in some future time.

3. There is a life after death and there are techniques by which some devdoots are capable of projecting some memories or experiences to human mind under certain circumstances. But rebel devdoots may cause some human beings to realize this in some twisted manner deviated from the real truth. So it is important to know the truth by applying the inner wisdom to separate truth from pseudo truths or false hoods.

4. Rebirths are also a reality but rebirths do not take place again and again on earth. But, nevertheless, an experience that Mr Aggarwal had is still possible when some devdoots perhaps had caused him to believe it that way.

5. Astrology based on the positions of stars and planets and prediction based on those could seem to be true due to various factors. While influences of certain universal gravitational force lines on a persons birth genes could not be ruled out, attributing those to stars and planets would only seem to be true but not exactly true. Again the power of God's ruling above these aspects should be acknowledged. In other words, giving extra attention to know one's future on the basis of astrology is not desirable. It only enhances one's anxiety to life situations and may reduce one's living under full submission to God's providence. Hence not desirable for ordinary beings while a few of better mind capacities may use it to appreciate God's wisdom in universe design.

6. Numbers, gem stones, biometric lines of the palms, eyes, etc  all likewise reflect the immense wisdom of God in many ways. However, none of these should distract a man or woman from his or her normal way of living by reducing them as magical charms determining one's fate.

Finally, let me admit this. I am not an expert to tell authentically what is right or wrong. I have only shared what my convictions are from my present level of understanding. It is very much true that my friend Mr Aggarwal had helped me a lot  to think seriously on the esoteric and spiritual aspects of life together with my life in this earth as an ordinary human being.

Was he my guru or I his ? Now I know that none of us are superior or inferior in front of God. We have only duties and responsibilities to perform, whether small or big ! Our special skills and abilities are no measure of the degree of godliness in us.

We all have godliness in equal measures. It is only up to us whether we take advantage of that to be with God or not !

NB: Mr Aggarwal, after reading this blog has made a special request through e-mail to include the most important message that he remembers as carrying from the other world to be communicated to his earthly fellow beings and his memories about God. Let me reproduce those salient lines in his own words from what he had communicated to me: "......When I reached the other world (I don’t remember how I reached there) I was welcomed by my uncle who had left this world before. (My Opinion : As your first introduction of the other world is by your ancestors, you must give respect to them). He explained me about the other world where everybody was young. The place was like a garden with lots of trees and flowers. No person was either child or old person or disabled like on this earth. People (Souls) were talking to each other and the communication (talk) was not through their mouth but through thoughts.........I turned my neck to see back side where I saw a big oval shape very bright light but soothing light of blue colour. It was a pure light of oval shape (the bigger diameter was vertical) and there was no shape seen inside that. (my conclusion : God does not have any specific shape inside the Light. Different persons may see different shapes in that light depending on their beliefs..)...... And finally, God wants the world should follow one religion, the religion of humanity !...

Note dated,6th Sept 2013: 

My friend Mr Vipin Kumar Agarwal is no more living in this world. He left his material existence on the 23rd of last month (August). I received the news while I was on a short trip to my home state, Kerala. This too was more or less predicted by him and he had discussed this many times with me earlier. I earnestly wish that some day we meet in some future time in some other world of God's plans to pursue our universe career as adventuring personalities !

Why Is It Difficult To Follow the Good Way of Living on Earth Now ?

Before trying to answer this question, I would like to refresh your thoughts on the well known definitions of good and bad.

A good way of living, in my opinion, more or less proceeds  with the acknowledgement of the following:

1. Recognizing the fact that there is a God, the Supreme Creator of the Universe, who is to be revered and remembered always because our life and existence depend on God. The life and the personality which make us what we are, could not have been possible without God, the Supreme Source of all kinds of energy, mind and matter in this universe. Since, the all powerful God has  created such lowly creations like we  human beings , there is all possibility that He has created or caused the creation of various other orders of  intelligent beings of varying powers and capacities for various functions concerned with the vast administration of the vast universe that we have either known or not known yet.

2. Recognizing the fact that our fellow beings on earth being creations of God are our own blood relations or brothers and sisters connected to us through God. Hence we need to love God and our love to God should reflect through our love to our fellow beings, fully acknowledging the fact that our brothers and sisters may not reciprocate our love and concern in the same manner and that is due to the prevalence of ignorance.

3. Recognizing the fact that while we all have varying abilities, activities and responsibilities to perform from time to time, these do not make us superior or inferior to any one and hence we should always be considerate to our fellow beings and never ever try to deprive others of their rights. Each and every one of us is a servant to every other in some way or the other.

4. Recognizing the fact that we have God given abilities and intelligence, in varying degrees. Our intelligence and ability must be utilized to make continuous improvements not only to our physical needs but also to the needs of our minds for living a harmonious life in this world including enjoyment of all reasonable joys and pleasures that God has provided us on this earth.

5. Recognizing the fact that while wealth and power to accomplish many things may be be acquired  in this life, these special privileges should be utilized with care and responsibility.

6. Recognizing the fact that the life in this world is not an end to itself and may proceed uninterrupted in much more advanced and intelligent manner with our individual personality retained intact, provided we are humble enough to listen , recognize and proceed as per the feeble directions that come from God as received in our minds that we have deliberately made receptive to tune in to such directions.

7. Recognizing the fact that harsh realities and problems that bring much pain to body and mind are unavoidable in an imperfect world like ours and such unpleasant realities of life are not necessarily inflicted as a result of any wrath from God, but due to certain violations of universe rules by individuals who chose to follow a life not according to the will of God. Though God has the power to eliminate such problems, in His wisdom He has not so far decided to act against it and we are not to question the wisdom of God in such matters.

8. Recognizing the fact that we have to nurture our  God given qualities of curiosity, innovation, wisdom, doing good and seeking God to higher levels than what were inherently with us.

On the other hand a bad way of living proceeds in the following manner :

1. Not really believing in the existence of a Supreme God or not really concerned with the existence of such a Supreme Being while considering any one who is capable of fulfilling any kind of desires to give some degree of satisfaction to be revered , respected or even worshipped as god, which means a kind of refusal of acceptance of the invisible First Cause and Centre of Everything in the Universe.

2. Behaving as if power and wealth are for fulfilment of self satisfaction with no concern for fellow beings.

3. Believing that those who do not have power and wealth exist for the purpose of doing slavery for those who have it.

4. Believing that might is right or letting a greedy nature to overpower all acts making one too selfish.

5. Enjoying sadism or have a desire to see others suffer or feel happy when others suffer.

6. Enjoying life while cunningly trouble others or feeling unconcerned with the problems of others; believing that life is short and enjoying it as much as possible at whatever cost is okay.

7. Be passive and not inclined to resist bad or support good and live a life of fulfilling self interests only.

8. Having an innate desire to control others and be like a worshipful god.

Now coming to the pertinent question: why is it difficult to follow a good way of living on earth now ?

The answer that I have found for this question is some thing as below:

As a creative head of the universe, God has created both living and non living beings and materials of innumerable kinds and types. The living beings so created are with varying degrees of intelligence which include perfect beings, imperfect beings and beings which are created imperfect but are capable of progressing towards perfection. 

God has also created material abodes or worlds such as earth for the living beings to live and do their activities. There are worlds which are made perfect in the beginning itself and there are worlds which are made through a long process of evolutionary development and all worlds are made up of some kind of materials, not necessarily the materials that our earth is made of. 

All living beings have some kind of bodies and the type of bodies differ in different orders of living beings. Imperfect and progressive living beings have imperfect bodies made of lower level materials. But advanced kinds and perfect living beings have bodies made of super materials or materials which are beyond the normal materials that we in earth know about. Super material bodies do not elicit any response in the sensory mechanisms of our materials bodies and hence we are unable to feel their form or existence under normal circumstances. Similarly, the worlds where other living beings live exist at far distances of hundreds and thousands of light years from our earth that we are unable to know much about them using our present day scientific exploration techniques.

Why did God made all these things like this is a matter of the supreme wisdom of God. But God has some purpose and plans for everything which may not be comprehensible to every one of us due to our limitations of mind capacity to know and understand.

However, God has given us the capacity to make our world towards more and more perfection. God has also given us the fullest liberty for using our creativity and the freedom to take all decisions of life. We are at full liberty to believe in God or not to believe in Him. All necessary intelligence is given for this purpose, though in varying degrees.

To chose good or bad is within our control and God has determined not to interfere with that, though He might occasionally give us some clues or guidance if only we are willing to take note and act on it.

Just as there are many human beings who prefer a bad way of life for its immediate or apparent benefits, there also exists invisible beings who are imperfect but are superior to human beings in certain abilities and mind capacities. But some of these superior but imperfect non material beings could be similar to some human beings who find pleasure in doing evil or bad things. These invisible and intelligent living beings also exist in this universe here and there including our earth. However their superhuman abilities in no way make them equivalent to God. They are simply superior cousins of human beings and could use their free will choices to follow evil just as similar minded human beings. However certain invisible acts of these imperfect superhuman beings could sometimes cause some human beings to get their wisdom and logic corrupted and to believe untruths as truths or doing evil acts assuming those as right.

For example, people who are bad or doing evil things might become materially prosperous and appear as successful to others making the latter to believe that such acts of evil or people who do such things are blessed by God.

But God never permits evil nor favors evil. It is simply our delusion that we understand it that way!

It becomes very difficult for persons who are not so careful to miss the hidden dangers of following bad.

Such observations could also cause many of us in believing in the non-existence of God. Many are forced to accept a logic that is clearly atheistic because their logical deductions and conclusions from limited observations and experiences of this world in a way give them ample opportunities to think that they are right.

But if you observe closely for a longer period, you might also observe some pathetic downfalls some of them have faced on account of their own acts. It is not wise to consider those downfalls as wrath of God, but it could be considered as a result of the violations of the universal laws of God.

The apparent delay that we perceive in getting the evil doers punished by God may also cause one not to believe in the existence of God. This happens because we tend to consider the Supreme God as similar to us in thoughts and actions and we cannot possibly comprehend an infinite God and His wisdom with our finite minds.

Because of the limitations of the finite logic of some human beings, they cannot perceive the assurance of God about the possibility of an everlasting life even after material death for all human beings who follow and do good under given circumstances honestly. This too may result in many human beings choosing evil ways of life and departing away from things which are inherently good and godly. Thus they may forfeit their once-in-a-life-time opportunity to enter into a continuing process of progress and adventure which involves cycles of life and life translations in many other worlds without losing their individuality and the opportunity to transform to a perfected being having a never ending life and a high degree of life experiences. 

So, more than the temporal downfall or cessation of material life that those bad guys faced, it would be another application of the universal law of God that could make them earn the sympathies of the good ones. These bad guys would be no more living while their not-so-materially-prosperous counter parts who chose to live a humble life in accordance with the will of God would survive death with their personality intact. Those surviving earthly deaths would realize about the fate of their earthly fellows who were too prosperous for some short years of their living on earth but failed in retaining their precious lives intact! 

Being good and surviving death, the good ones would feel sorry for the bad ones. The bad and evil ones could not ensure perpetuation of their evil happiness for ever! It was too short lived an affair on earth.

How could they ?

They kept rejecting the possibility of the universal rule of a sovereign God whose laws are perfect and unchanging and they could never use their brains to find those clear evidences that have been all around them !

Just consider this :

Hundreds of people keep visiting this site every day but very few of them try to read blogs like this even when the majority of my blogs are on similar topics.

But only a minuscule of my readers are attracted to such topics ! Their inherent curiosity and anxieties are directed towards matters which are not too important, in my opinion.

When people go after silly things leaving precious things, when people go to chose evil things rejecting good and when people are more concerned about this short earthly life than the possibility of a wonderful everlasting life, I feel sorry for them.

When I find more and more of the so-called spiritual gurus and high priests also of that kind, I feel all the more sorry for the current generation. 

How sad !
