n Dimensions

Behold, this would be the craziest post on my blog!

I has these words titled on my blog for a long time:

Humans are just ink spots on the fabric of this universe. Every thread in the fabric represents a different trait. Some spots are small, some are large, some even grow a lot and become dominant on other spots. Some spots have well-defined boundries, others don’t. Some spots might actually be unique in shape and size, but ink spots is what they are. An ink spot can never ever realise what the endless and infinite fabric and its threads are all about.

I now think that this is not true unless you limit the statement to this physical world. Here is the thing: Most people believe that there are two worlds; this one and the hereafter. I believe that there are limitless worlds after this one. A human will keep transitioning from one to another continuously.

Ever wondered how they say that God is from the very beginning of things and will last till the very end. There is no definition of the beginning and there is no end. If that is so, then what happens to the concept of time?

To explain, I must use mathematical terms. Time is the independant variable of this physical world. Lets call it t. The world after this one has some other independant variable. A variable which we cannot interpret using our brain which is limited by physical laws. Lets call that variable X. Now t and X are orthogonal to each other.

Orthogonality just doesn’t mean a difference of 90 degrees in phase. It means that the basis vector of each world is unique and matually exclusive with just a single point of intersection with other basis vectors.

In other words, time implodes into X and X implodes into time. Here in this world, we can see time to be infinity. It has no known start and it will never come to an end. But X is a static parameter in this world. In the next world, X would be an infinite variable, and time would be static factor.

Ever wondered why they call the next world “la zaman”? (a place without time) Ever wondered how it was possible for Prophet PBUH to visit all of the worlds hereafter in absolutely no time? There is no time after this world!

Now there are not just two worlds. There are limitless worlds. And every world has an independant variable of its own. And all these variables are orthogonal to each other. God truly made an n dimensional system.

When I first heard that they derived the laws of algebra from Arabic philosophical literature, I was surprised. But now, it makes sense. :)

These are the things which keep me up at night.

Human’s Role

Humans are powerless creatures. They are governed by a set of rules, physical/biological laws they cannot bypass. At the same time, it is never certain that the causes will yield the expected results everytime! Humans try to create causes. Results are never totally predictable. Everything comes down to how God wants it to happen. This powerless-ness results in passive roles by humans, i.e. they are not important! Things where they do have a choice doesn’t make a difference after all.

Life thus becomes meaningless. You loose all your emotions. You become sad. At that time, you want to be like everyone else! You want to be a common man, with ambitions and desires. You want to want life. But that cannot happen easily. Returning to beastality requires ignoring the voice of honesty inside yourself. That is not possible for someone who lives by that voice.

Living with that brutal voice of truth and being happy at the same time! That is the puzzle of the moment in my life.

Let us see what God says. (Yes, He is there) He sent us guidance. He told us a lots of rules. He told us to do things which apparently don’t have a lots of logic attached to it. For example, consider what muslims do while performing Hajj. Circulating a big black house, running seven times between mountains, staying at a desert for a day… And He tells us that these things matter. Now consider the rules which He tells us. He gives us rules which govern even very minute and little things in our lives. He tells us rules of trade, talking, walking etc. These things bring me to this question: Why is God so concerned about little things in our lives? Humans and this world as a whole are meaningless! Why bother? Does God wants us to be interested in the meaningless jargon of this world?

Doing things without reasons is called belief. God tells us to do things without reason. That is why when people like me create reasons for things to happen, He keeps ruining their plans :) He wants us to ask Him for everything, not just depend upon the logic of things. Does that mean that God doesn’t want use to use our minds? or maybe He wants us to use our minds within a certain limit.

And so you have the intended role of a human. Be interested in life but follow all the rules. And look at me: I am not interested in life, and I question all of His rules. I think God often talks about very small things. He is God, He is the only one who really matters. Why doesn’t He stay away from petty things? If He is interested enough, then why shouldn’t I be interested in the small things?

These are the things which keep me up at night.
