1. Why is Faqir Chand's experiences important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles?
It is important to understand Faqir Chand's experiences of the projective nature of religious visions and miracles because his experiences show the fear that he overcame throughout his life. The book “The Unknowing Saga: The Life and Work of Faqir Chand” explains his life and what happened in his life. “It is said that Guru imparts knowledge and the Guru is Shabd. Therefore, unless the surat of an individual ascends up with mediation to the state of Shabd, he cannot attain the true knowledge.” (P.47)What I understood was that all the gurus were ignorant about the real cause of miracles and the visions attributed with them, but they had to allow to open to the idea to really understand the nature of religious visions. In the video I watched “Inner Visions and Running Trains,” Faqir Chand revealed that all gurus of whatever stripe were ignorant about the real cause of the miracles and visions attributed. That is why Faqir Chand's experiences are important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles. He was able to reveal the illusory nature behind the religious visions and miracles, and he revealed the secret behind many inner visions and miracles.
2. 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" means that it is important to use science to back up philosophy. No matter what kind of science it is it is important to use to prove your point. We must use a form of science to back up the claims of what they say. If you don't use science to support your claims then they are invalid and no one is going to believe you because you have no proof. There are few people that will believe it without you having proof. Science is important when you are researching philosophy because it helps you to justify your philosophy when people question you about it and they know that you are telling the truth. There really is no wrong answer within philosophy, because it is for us to have the ability to think with free will. If we think of Philosophy with the need for a specific answer then it is considered science because it is the experimentation and use of scientific methods to get the answer and show information.
