Only to those, who understand both of the science and the spirituality -?

Do you agree that the eastern spiritual concept of seven realms of universal existence

possesses more potential to assess and to explain the mysteries of the universal existential truth

as compare to the latest scientific concepts or theories of multiverse or meta-universe or parallel universes?

As per eastern spiritual concept,

the universal existence possesses seven realms and these are

the physical, the ethereal, the astral, the mental, the spiritual, the cosmic

and the absolute consciousness,

depending on their level of consciousness.

I have also gone through the main theories of quantum physics

and the theories of multiverse or meta-universe or parallel universes,

especially the classification schemes of cosmologist Max Tegmark ( four levels )

and theoretical physicist and string theorist Brian Greene ( nine types of parallel universes ).

And in my view,

eastern spiritual concept is better than the scientific concepts

with regard to the exploration of the mysteries of the universal existential truth.

Thanks a lot for your short explanations.

Update:

I want to extend the question for more days, but i am unable to find the option on this page.

    What I know is that the East is better in understanding spirituality than the West, it's a fact!! But the East can also be wrong at some points, unfortunately...

    By all means feel free to email me if you want to discuss such things.

    The two can work well hand in hand. In fact, the designers of quantum mechancs became intrugued by the Vedic texts. Schroedinger, once quantum mechanics's biggest enemy completely changed his mind.

    As soon as you say: we know enough. stop learning. this sacred text will give us our answers. then a dangerous religion is established.

    "There are seven planes in all, seven planes, each one consisting of many levels, one of them being the plane of recollection. On that plane you are allowed to collect your thoughts. You are allowed to

    see your life that has just passed. Those of the higher levels are allowed to see history. They can go back and teach us by learning about history. But we of the lower levels are only allowed to see our own life . . . that has just passed.

    "We have debts that must be paid. If we have not paid out these debts, then we must take them into another life ... in order that they may be worked through. You progress by paying your debts. Some

    souls progress faster than others. When you're in physical form and you are working through, you're working through a life. ... If something interrupts your ability ... to pay that debt, you must return

    to the plane of recollection, and there you must wait until the soul you owe the debt to has come to see you. And when you both can be returned to physical form at the same time, then you are allowed to

    return. But you determine when you are going back. You determine what must be done to pay that debt. You will not remember your other lives . . . only the one you have just come from. Only those

    souls on the higher level-the sages-are allowed to call upon history and past events . . . to help us, to teach us what we must do.

    "There are seven planes . . . seven through which we must pass before we are returned. One of them is the plane of transition. There you wait. In that plane it is determined what you will take back with you into the next life. We will all have ... a dominant trait. This might be greed, or it might be lust, but whatever is determined, you need to fulfill your debts to those people. Then you must overcome this in that lifetime. You must learn to overcome greed. If you do not, when you return you will have to carry that trait, as well as another one, into your next life. The burdens will become greater. With each life that you go through and you did not fulfill these debts, the next one will be harder. If you fulfill them, you will be given an easy life. So you choose what life you will have. In the next phase, you are responsible for the life you have. You choose it."

    It appears historically that greats minds have subjectively professed what the major faiths already tell us in regards to reality, realms and consciousness (I think The Mark by Maurice Nicoll is a good book to read)

    And the Greek word for Sin ~ Hamartia (Ancient Greek: ἁμαρτία) Meaning "To miss the mark"

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    So, to draw some parallels: Here we go -

    No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

    Albert Einstein

    In the Zohar, the greatest kabbalistic work, the Torah is interpreted in reference to the Sefirot - They are Keter (Crown) proximity to the divine super-conscious of the soul.

    1 Beyond etc. -beyond the relative world which is a mixture of existence and non-existence. The world is said to be existent as it is perceived in ordinary consciousness, but to be non-existent as it is lost in super-consciousness. Knowing the nature of the world, the man of Knowledge is quite unconcerned with it. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XVIII – P138

    Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

    Lankavatara Sutra - Mahāyāna Buddhism

    There is no greater mystery than this; that being the reality we seek to gain reality.

    Sri Ramana Maharshi (December 30, 1879 – April 14, 1950)

    The Surah takes its title from the sentence, Wa anzalna' l-hadida, of verse 25.

    (A study of its subject matter)

    Surah Al-Hadid (its title meaning, 'the iron') talks about the reality of the transient life of this world.

    The universe is endlessly going through creation and dissolution. But that does not affect the Self. The Self is beyond time and causation. Creation and dissolution are in time. In reality nothing else exists. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XV – P98

    15. He who sees the universe may try to deny it. What has the desireless to do? He sees not even though he sees. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XVIII – P136

    Probably. I have yet to hear any of the different hypotheses for the multiverse theory that hold up to logic. It's only real use is as a mathematical model.
