Topic: Nature of the Universe and Mankind
What are your thoughts on the nature of the Universe and its manifestation in human behaviour? How important a roll, do the universal principles of matter and energy (atomic and solar structures/wave lengths etc.); affect human nature as a constant through time? (e.g. normal distributions, polarity of relative terms good/evil, etc.) Or, do you think that people make sense out of our behaviour by framing our observations about behavior in universally relative terms? Any thoughts outside the box? All is appreciated.

The question is too narrow. You need to broaden it a little. It could also use a few more layers of abstraction. :)

Mr Brown.....this is just an attempt....

I think that energy and human behaviour are quite related....Human beings have 7 levels of energy around their own energy boundary.....this is according to spirtual science.....and as soon as they do not have any control over their own energy they tend to misunderstand....and behave irrationally.....

I believe that every living thing emits a kind of energy from their side....This is experienced when we are tensed and we go to some nice beaches or parks.....we get relaxed for a while if the area is beautiful.....we tend to absorb the positive energy from the atomsphere and this helps us to be calm.....

Everything is made of matter and matter is made of atoms which has energy thus my conclusion would be that....mostly is the influence of the kind of place we are in that makes us behave the way we do.....

Ok, a less abstract version for Michael ;) Do you thing the physical laws of nature are related or unrelated to human nature? I think they most definately are, but people could debate otherwise, I'm interested in getting a deeper perspective on it. But a good point, I'll have to keep it simple next time I post. Kapeesh.

There are still multiple interepretations. What do you mean by human nature? What do you mean by physical laws of nature? Could you give examples?

Michael...? You mean to say that there are multiple interpretations of the physical laws of nature, like E=mc2 can be interpreted in multiple ways? (perhaps in application, but it is not a subjective concept, it's a concrete fact of nature)You mean to say that a normal statistical distribution can be interpreted in multiple ways? People are clustered in the middle or they are found to either side as out-layers (how the data is generated is factual, subjective analysis is not what I'm talking about here; even if normal distributions are hard to find naturally). Let's try this again, would you say that when a light photon travels in a line/that may or may not be bending (due to gravitational fields at work) that there are multiple ways to interpret its UP and DOWN cyclical wave pattern? Ok, Michael, tell you what... you break out your box of crayola crayons from the first grade, and draw me a picture that proves yourself correct in making those assumptions. I'm begging the answer so to speak. I'll also get around to putting down my thoughts on the topic this weekend.

I am not making any assumptions. I am asking questions. Why all the heat?

Ok. So how does E=mc2 relate to Human Nature? Perhaps we're talking about explosive personalities.

How about an example.

One physical law of nature is that if an organism does not try to survive and continue, it won't. This could be applicable to Western Civilization.

Kevin, you speak of Normal Distribution and Outliers... do you have interest in probability and statistics? I find it fascinating that all unruliness obeys rules!

Back to the discussion: It's a real good topic.

It is evident that we are bound by the rules of nature and can never step outside them. Not demonstrably, of course. Some people claim to be able to fly without any help, I'll leave them in their delusions.

We, as humans, are bound by physics and mathematics on a lower level, and on upper level we are bound by laws, cultures, languages and so forth. Just to give one example: try to think of something without employing language. It's impossible.

Michael asked a nice question: "How does E=mc2 relate to Human Nature?"

Not apparently, but hey: that has huge effect on Sun, which produces energy through fusion. And we receive the energy. The plants we eat has E=mc^2 written on them.

Another great truth: "One physical law of nature is that if an organism does not try to survive and continue, it won't."

I'm thinking of the second law of thermodynamics, which says that to do something against the norm, you'll have to spend energy.

And Kevin, there are scope of interpretation everywhere. Interpretation doesn't mean talking whatever, but understanding in a certain way.

Tell me, how do you interpret kinetic energy, for example?

Payal, there's nothing called "Spiritual Science". The term itself is an oxymoron. Also, what energy are you talking about? Are the demonstrable?

I do not think that was legible at all.

Wow, you wound need to read like 3 volumes of esoteric/tantric philosophy to get an idea of the esoteric principles, tattvas/forces and their correspondences with the parts of body, states of matter and colours.... to study the planets and metals etc.
