The ideas of multiple dimensions and realms of existence have been expressed in Hindu and Buddhist scriptures long before modern science began exploring similar concepts. Here's a look at how these ancient philosophies connect with contemporary scientific theories:

Hindu Scriptures

1. Vedic Texts: The Vedas, the foundational texts of Hinduism, introduce various realms or planes of existence known as lokas. Each loka represents a different dimension of reality, ranging from the earthly to the spiritual. These texts describe several lokas, such as Bhuloka (the earth), Antarloka (the space between), and Swargaloka (heaven).

2. Yoga and Consciousness: In Hindu philosophy, particularly the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, there’s a focus on achieving heightened states of awareness through yoga and meditation. These practices aim to help individuals access dimensions of consciousness that go beyond ordinary experience, suggesting deeper realities beyond what we typically perceive.

3. Cosmological Views: Hindu cosmology describes the universe in cyclical terms, implying various planes of existence are part of an endless process of creation and dissolution. This perspective can be likened to modern theories about the universe, including ideas about multiverses and cyclical time.

Buddhist Scriptures

1. Trikaya Doctrine: In Mahayana Buddhism, the Trikaya doctrine presents three bodies or aspects of the Buddha: the Dharmakaya (truth body), the Sambhogakaya (enjoyment body), and the Nirmanakaya (physical manifestation). This framework suggests a layered understanding of reality, akin to how dimensions might be perceived as different facets of a unified existence.

2. Mahayana Sutras: Texts like the Lotus Sutra and the Avatamsaka Sutra describe vast and interconnected realms that transcend ordinary understanding. The Avatamsaka Sutra, in particular, depicts a highly intricate universe, resonating with modern ideas in quantum physics about interconnectedness and the nature of reality.

3. Emptiness (Sunyata): The Buddhist concept of Sunyata, often translated as emptiness, suggests that all phenomena are interdependent and lack inherent existence. This idea points to deeper dimensions and realities beyond conventional perception, much like what scientists are beginning to explore in the nature of reality.

Connection with Modern Science

- String Theory: In physics, string theory proposes that additional dimensions may exist beyond the three we experience. This idea aligns with the multidimensional realities described in Hindu and Buddhist texts.

- Quantum Physics: The relationship between consciousness and reality explored in quantum physics parallels insights found in Eastern philosophies, particularly regarding how our awareness shapes our experience of the world.

Final thoughts

While the language and concepts in Hindu and Buddhist scriptures are rooted in spiritual and philosophical traditions, their insights into multiple dimensions offer fascinating connections to modern scientific explorations. This intersection of ancient wisdom and contemporary thought encourages a deeper appreciation for different perspectives on existence and the nature of the universe.
 
Interesting. 🤔 I have a question. It is about that lately people say life is an illusion. I give an example. What happened to us since we ate from the forbidden fruit of good and evil that caused us to become cursed. In other words, this wat evil could manifest in us since the day we believed in good and evil what is another word for courtroom case. This way we became called Jews of the tribe of Judas. What is your vision about this? What is your vision about 'everything is an illusion?

I found a patron after research.
As an astrologer I put twelf grids on the earth map. Then I discovered a patron. So we develop. Everything has it's necessarity. For example, the Protestants wanted to see God's works.
A Catholic church can not do everything.
On the earth map is a lot of water we call lost tribes of Israel.

So everything serves it's purpose I shell not go deeper into details right now.
Everything must start somewhere but something else comes out of that to continue with , with another aspect of life as all nations serve a part of the aspects of life. Like knowing and knowledge is good and then act as it with good deeds and then last but not least it is important also to be of good will. The same way we need to undergo all ages from one to let's say 120 years old of age we can as human beings become.

The idea that "life is an illusion" is a fascinating concept that has been examined from various angles—philosophical, spiritual, and psychological. While some people might find this notion intriguing, it can also seem a bit far-fetched when we consider a few key points:

1. Real Experiences To begin with, life is brimming with genuine experiences. We encounter joy, pain, love, and loss. These profound emotions aren't something we can easily brush aside as mere illusions. The bonds we share with family and friends, the stunning beauty of nature, and our personal achievements are all real aspects of life that deeply affect us.

2. Physical Reality Our physical world follows natural laws that we can observe and analyze. From gravity to chemistry, our interactions with the environment are consistent and authentic. Even though our perception of reality can be subjective, that doesn’t mean the physical world isn't real. Science allows us to measure and understand various phenomena, reinforcing the existence of an objective reality beyond our personal interpretations.

3. Life's Complexity Saying that life is an illusion can simplify the rich complexity of human existence. Our personal stories—full of challenges, victories, and growth—give life meaning and purpose. Dismissing life in this way overlooks the significance of the narratives we create and the lessons we learn along our journeys.

4. Coping with Reality For some, the phrase "life is an illusion" might serve as a way to cope with tough situations. While it could provide temporary solace, it might also prevent them from facing real challenges and finding constructive solutions.

5. Philosophical Discussions On the philosophical front, the idea that life is an illusion often relates to certain Eastern philosophies or metaphysical discussions. While it's valuable to explore these perspectives, reducing the entirety of existence to just an illusion can lead to nihilism—the belief that life lacks meaning—which can be harmful to one’s mental health.

6. Engagement and Responsibility Viewing life as more than an illusion promotes a sense of engagement, action, and responsibility. Our choices have real consequences that reach beyond ourselves. Acknowledging this can cultivate a feeling of agency and accountability in how we interact with others and the world around us.

7. Spiritual Insights Many spiritual traditions address the concept of Maya (illusion) when seeking to uncover deeper truths. Yet, this doesn’t diminish the importance of our lived experiences. According to these beliefs, while the material world may be fleeting and ever-changing, it still holds significant value for both personal and spiritual development.

In essence, while pondering whether life is an illusion can be intellectually stimulating, embracing the reality of our experiences can lead to a richer, more meaningful life.

when Buddha said that life is an illusion, he was emphasizing the impermanent, transient, and often deceptive nature of the material world and our perceptions. This teaching serves to inspire individuals to seek deeper understanding, cultivate mindfulness, and ultimately find freedom from the suffering that arises from attachment and misunderstanding.
He never actually meant life is an illusion, he was referring to our failure to understand impermanence and our the illusion is in our mind.
