“We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest.

It Is Kind of optical delusion of consciousness.” — Albert Einstein

“In our quest for happiness and the avoidance of suffering, we are all fundamentally the same,

and therefore equal. Despite the characteristics that differentiate us – race, language,

religion, gender, wealth and many others – we are all equal in terms of our basic humanity.” — Dalai Lama

The belief that everything in the universe is part of the same fundamental whole exists

throughout many cultures and philosophical, religious, spiritual, and scientific traditions,

as captured by the phrase ‘all that is.’

The Nobel winner Erwin Schrodinger once observed that quantum physics is compatible

with the notion that there is indeed a basic oneness of the universe.  Therefore, despite

it seeming as though the world is full of many divisions, many people throughout the course

of human history and even today truly believe that individual things are part of some fundamental entity.

That’s why it make more sense to trust and believe in one God only, a God who has no son,

parents or any others beside him, and that all others are created by one God including all

the angels, holy spirit, messengers and prophets, plants and animal all came

from one creator, and it is mathematically proven.

Despite the prevalence of this belief, there has been a lack of a well validated measure

in psychology that captures this belief. While certain measures of spirituality do exist ,

the belief in oneness questions are typically combined with other questions that

assess other aspects of spirituality, such as meaning, purpose, sacredness,

or having a relationship with God. What happens when we secularize the belief in oneness?

The Jewish and Muslims the true descended of Abraham from Ishmael and Isaac

who was the first person to bring this Idea of one God for all, one creator and fight

hard for it against those who were worshiping many Gods, and made God having sons

and daughters, worshiping the stones and idols. King Nimrud put him in fire to kill

Abraham but he couldn’t, same with Pharos and Moses.

Muslims and Jewish destroyed all the idols from the start,
while others still worshiping stones , cows,and Budha.

But in time other philosophers came and twisted the truth of the Bible and made

son to God! Abraham, Ishmael, Mohammed , Isaac and Jacob fight so hard to destroy

those idols in Baal, Habbal, and many other stones and Idols that was worshiped in

Palestine, Arabia , Babylonia, Persia and other place .

Muslims destroyed all those Idols that created by kings to control them.

God sent those great prophets to destroy the Idols and lead the people away

from Idol worshiping to one God who is called ( ALLAH ). YAHOW, JAHOVA, HaShem,

Shedad , and have many adjective names 99 different names all are glorified

his wisdom, greatness, knowledge, strength, mercy, and Grace.

In a recent study, Kate Diebels and Mark Leary set out to find out. In their first study,

they found that only 20.3% of participants had thought about the oneness of all things

“often” or “many times”, while 25.9% of people “seldom” thought about the oneness

of all things, and 12.5% of people “never” had thought about it. While other studies

in the Muslims and Jewish world found that 99% of the Muslims

believe in one God and 80% of the Jewish do so.

I think that because everything is connected by a frequency vibration scale,

wavelength and specific energy that make us all are one. The end of the universe

will be a big large giant black hall that will feed on all others black halls that

feeding on other stars and planets. In the end we all are going to be inside a belly of this giant black hall.

And only God can destroy it and bring back all of us again.

In fact, a belief in oneness was more strongly related to feeling connected with 

distant people and aspects of the natural world than with people with whom one is

 close! Also, while a belief in oneness was related to actual experiences of oneness

(“mystical experiences”), there was no relationship between a belief in oneness

and feeling closer to God during a spiritual experience.

A belief in oneness was also associated with feeling connected to others through

a recognition of our common humanity, common problems, and common imperfections.

At the same time, there was no relationship between a belief in oneness and

the degree to which people endorsed self-focused values such as hedonism,

self-direction, security, or achievement.

This means that people can have a belief in oneness and still have a great deal of self-care,

 healthy boundaries, and self-direction in life.

People who believe that everything is fundamentally one differ in crucial ways from those

who do not. In general, those who hold a belief in oneness have a more inclusive identity

that reflects their sense of connection with other people, nonhuman animals,

and aspects of nature that are all thought to be part of the same “one thing.”

This has some rather broad implications.

As God created every living thing from water, and from sand from

that mix of clay he created Human.

I do believe that this universe was indeed a giant void then mixed gas

and darkness once and that later on everything in this universe was water, a giant

universe of water no stars and no planets, just a huge water covered all the universe

under God throne and illuminated by his living light.

This water with all the mix gases, minerals, with varieties of cold and hot areas,

hot springs, and ocean that mixed between salt and sweet water .

God was preparing to create everything else from this water and this water

need it to explode and creates the known universe to us.

It might be beneficial for people all across the political spectrum to recognize

and hold in mind a belief in oneness even as they are asserting their values

and political beliefs. Only having “compassion” for those who are in your in-group,

and vilifying or even becoming violent toward those who you perceive as

the out-group, is not only antithetical to world peace more broadly,

but is also counter-productive to political progress that advances

the greater good of all humans on this planet.

I also think these findings have important implications for education. Even if some adults

may be hopeless when it comes to changing their beliefs, most children are not.

Other belief such as a belief that intelligence can learn and grow ( grow mind set)

are extraordinarily popular in education these days.

However, I wonder what the implications would be if all students were also

explicitly trained to believe that we are all part of the same fundamental humanity,

actively showing students through group discussions and activities how we

all have insecurities and imperfections, and how underneath the superficial

differences in opinions and political beliefs, we all have the same fundamental

needs for connection, purpose, and to matter in this vast universe.

The problem that some people have known the truth. The truth for many

corrupt people is not good they can’t make money from it, they cannot slave

people and use them like animal to work for the few, to steal their land and resources,

knowing the truth and fighting for the justice and truth is bad business for many

of those corrupted government s as it was in pharos time, nimrods time,

and Hitler who said lie and lie until they believe you.

The media and social net work All over the world the talked about fake news

for decades and  misinformation, conspiracies, ideology, mistrust of experts,

epistemic bubbles and echo chambers These scourges make it much harder to solve

any problem of politics, climate, culture or public health, because they frustrate

the search for a widely recognized truth. We know there is something wrong with the way we know.

 I think freedom of information and speech does not mean that you present your

topic without facts and that you should be accountable and can be sued .

Just like practicing law, medicine, or engineering without a registered and

recognized degree from qualified institution.

Same thing her if your present an lengthy Idea that you are not qualified to present

you should be liable for the false information and the damage you will do to society .

If you have an opinion and you mentioned that you are not sure of the

facts or that what you think, that’s different.

Does some doctors, lawyers and engineers lies , of course they do on TV with infomercial, 

defending clients and criminals, or construct a building with low quality to gain money

and instead 100 years the building collapse in 10 years. It happens allot in Turkey,

India, Pakistan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and many other countries,

by the time the government find out, the criminals long gone out of the country.

Accounts of this crisis of knowledge, however, overlook how its differing

elements arise from a common source. Our problem concerns not just the way

we generate knowledge but our attitude toward knowledge, how we present

ourselves to each other as knowers. Beneath this crisis is a deeper

psychological one: the problem of knowingness.

No alt text provided for this image

 Knowingness, as the philosopher and psychoanalyst Jonathan Lear defines

 it in Open Minded (1998), is a posture of always ‘already knowing’,

of purporting to know the answers even before the question arises.

When new facts come to light, the knowing person is unperturbed.

You may be shocked, but they knew all along.

No alt text provided for this image

In 21st-century culture, knowingness is rampant. You see it in the conspiracy

theorist who dismisses contrary evidence as a ‘false flag’ and in the podcaster

for whom ‘late capitalism’ explains all social woes. It’s the ideologue

who knows the media has a liberal bias – or, alternatively, a corporate one.

It’s the above-it-all political centrist, confident that the truth is necessarily

found between the extremes of ‘both sides’. It’s the former US president Donald Trump,

who claimed, over and over, that ‘everybody knows’

things that were, in fact, unknown, unproven or untrue.

Knowingness is a particular danger for people whose job is to inform us.

For instance, there is the professor with the unassailable theory or the physician

who enters the examining room certain the patient’s problems result from

the condition the doctor happens to be an expert in. ‘Just as I thought,’ says

the too-knowing oncologist to the patient with ambiguous test results.

‘Fibro-sarcoma, it’s always fibrosarcoma.’

Knowingness can also take the form of ironic or cynical distance, of seeming to have

seen it all and gotten over it. It’s the posture of the cool culture maven who has already

heard every new band. It’s equally the stance of the speaker in the

biblical book of Ecclesiastes, for whom ‘there is nothing new under the sun.

No alt text provided for this image

In every case, as Lear puts it, ‘the stance of “already knowing” functions as a defense:

if you already know, you do not need to find out.’ Knowingness, then, is a false

claim to knowledge that makes it impossible to learn anything new. Knowingness

is why present-day culture wars are so boring.

No one is trying to find out anything. There is no common agreement about the facts,

and yet everyone acts as if all matters of fact are already settled.

No alt text provided for this image

But, in fact, the information age reveals how little we each already know.

Knowingness, then, might be a way to manage the flood of information.

There is so much we might know that we perhaps ought to know,

that it’s often easiest just to act as if we do. And if everyone else is acting,

too, then we’re never caught in our ignorance.

No alt text provided for this image

Of course, then, we’re stuck living with these falsehoods and their consequences

from plague to political upheaval, the very matter of tragedy.

Knowingness may be so tempting because it does serve a social function.

The classicist Simon Gold hill calls knowingness ‘the glue of social discourse’.

Think of our common words of sympathy: ‘I know, I know what you mean.’

Claiming to already know someone’s pain is an attempt to make them

feel more understood and, thus, less alone.

No alt text provided for this image

But social bonding is not the end-all of discourse. We complain to our doctors

and legislators not merely so they will sympathies with us, but in the hope that

they will solve our problems. In public life, the posture of already knowing

is useful if the goal is to build an audience, to promote group cohesion among

those who are ‘in the know’, who ‘get it’. But it poisons honest deliberation and the quest for truth.

No alt text provided for this image

To overcome knowingness, we need a humbler and more curious stance toward

knowledge. This does not mean we should pretend to ignorance. And we don’t

have to suspend all our knowledge when making a judgment about a new situation.

It isn’t knowingness when a physician tells a patient that, no; in fact,

herbal treatments will not cure their cancer.

God created every living things from water.

To combat knowingness, then, we should not discard either our well-

established empirical knowledge or the theoretical orientations that help

us make sense of new information. We should rather recognize the limits

of what we know and be curious about what we don’t.

By Dr.Saad Al-Hashimi, PhD

Greeting from Calgary, Alberta - Canada. My name is Saad Ramzi Al-Hashimi . I am the founder and the director of the Paranormal zone- Haunting Dimensions. That deals with an investigation, debunking, and healing/cleansing. Having had many unexplainable experiences from a young age at a possible "haunted" house where plenty of things seemed to happen that I couldn’t explain, Since that time and I am looking and searching for an answer. After continuing to have many experiences that I just cannot explain, I have since become a firm believer that GHOSTS do exist. I continued for a short while as a member of a few other paranormal groups until I was very fortunate to become involved with a local fast growing organization where I felt very comfortable to start my own paranormal investigation. My best experience has been Indio California, Okotoks Alberta, Baghdad city , and many other places in Greece and North Canada. (yes I do believe spirits can hurt you so you have to be careful not to provoke or challenge a spirit ). I won’t tell you the whole story now but you are more than welcome to ask me on a ghost hunt. I am now looking forward to meeting many more people, all looking for that ‘experience’ that could possibly convince them that there is something more to life than we first thought. So please feel free to email me drsteveramsey@gmail.com I have been involved in several paranormal groups over the years. Paranormal Adventures is different and exciting in ways I couldn’t possibly get before. When people ask if I believe in ghosts, I say I am a skeptical believer. I have had many encounters with spirit forms and believe what I have seen to be real and unexplainable. I always look for a normal mundane reason why at the same time. My area of expertise in the field of science. I have Ph.D. in Public Health from the USA, Master degree in Medical Ultrasound and BSc Degree in Diagnostic Imaging from Charles Sturt University Australia, BSc in Physics, and Radiology diploma from Iraq, Pharmacy diploma. Radiography diploma from London Ontario, Diploma in Natural Health from Quebec, Canada. Radiation physics from Australia, I studied the infra and ultrasound in the animal kingdom.P resented more than 20 lectures in Iraq, Greece, Germany, South Korea, Japan, Canada and I am the peer reviewer for the radiographer journal in UK, Netherlands, and South Africa. Earned the 3rd award for excellence in ultrasound - Canada 2005. I am also armature archaeologist, painter, calligrapher, and used to run acting theater play in Iraq- Baghdad, wrote, directed and acted in more than 27 plays. So debunking come naturally in my science and technology back round, and not like other debunking people around you who use Google for their search and call them self-debunkers, It doesn't work that way. In the near future, I will run live internet ghost hunts with night vision cameras giving users at home the chance to watch the spooky footage on, in my nights out. I look forward to seeing you all soon on one of our many events! I loved reading ghost stories and sitting on my own in the dark watching horror films. However. I Can decode dreams, and I see spirits in my dreams. I like to look at things from a scientific point of view and try to rule out all rational possibilities before concluding that events are paranormal. However, I do try to keep an open mind on all investigations. I started taking part in investigations since 1986; my first investigation usually any house, apartment that I move in or my friend's places. For many of my true paranormal stories you can read them at www.linkedin.com I will try to copy and move all my articles here in this site in near future. Thank you for reading and God Bless you all.
