1. Why is Faqir Chand's experiences important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles?
Faqir Chand's experiences help us in understanding the nature of religious visions and miracles because Fagir was acknowledged as an influential religious figure which he offered his personal experiences to others. During the time Faqir Chand was possibly facing death is when he provides an insight about a vision that helped save his life, as well as many others as well. This “vision” was admired by many others. Intrigued by his vision Chand set out to research these visions by putting himself in many near-death scenarios to help understand the projection of miracles or adrenaline. Chand had an understanding of how the mind could use its own energy push boundaries. In the book "The Unknowing Sage" Chand explains this energy from inside, “I came to believe that the Master is no separate entity. Rather, He is the disciple’s Real Life Self and resided within” (Pg. 31).
2. What is meant by the phrase, "philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy."
The phrase "philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy" refers to the idea that the experiments that come from vital questions in philosophy can lead to results based on factual evidence just like science such as the scientific method. Detailed evidence based on hypothesis, observations, examinations, can support ideas for just about any matter.
