I read the first article, which took a good long while, and was focused on one of the points he made at the end of the article.

4. Practice and realize the power of intentions.

That is a great part of the Gospel, it does not matter whether we succeed or fail in a certain action, it is the idea of what our intent was, i.e. the Sermon on the Mount. God already knows the end, since the end and the beginning are all the same to Him, what matters is what our intent in our life was.

If our intent was to glorify ourselves, then we get whatever reward we want in this life. We get the “observer effect.” for our particular action. If we act for His glory, outside of ourselves, then we get what He wanted from the action and the fulfillment of His plan.

I will need to spend some time meditating and praying on this, but I can see some immense possibilities in Amit’s explanation. He is still a liberal hack; see the paragraph starting with “The materialist view has dominated science” for the proof, but i will take what I can from his writings.

Whatever Dr. Goswami’s politics, his physics and metaphysics are strong.
