Stumbling upon a world of a new God, new religion and new values

[blazeofglory]

I oftentimes and I think some others too think about landing upon a planet wherein we may across a people, maybe beings superior to us and advanced in their science and technology, human science and knowledge. Maybe they are brainier, brighter and endowed with more insightfulness and ingenuity. I wonder whether there would be a people who have a religion, a God the way we have. Who too believe in an afterlife, in the immorality of the soul, reincarnation? Of course such imaginations are galore in science fictions, but what I am writing is not the product of what I read in science fiction and that idea occurs to me frequently and I do not know why. Maybe because I am a thinking animal and there is no boundary to which I tend to limit my thinking. For thinking can go sporadically boundlessly and timelessly in point of fact.

All I feel is that if we come upon a new world with a new system in all they do, in their entire courses of livings, ideologies, ways of thinking, cultural patterns, social fabrics, moral grounds, ethics, institutions, beliefs it will completely transmute our world. I have read somewhere that what we imagine, dream in this material world can be possible somewhere. Maybe, after millennia in this world or somewhere in another planet right now. This is really a great fascination to think along these lines in point of fact. It furthers or fuels our capacities for imagination.

Creativity springs up when we stretch our cerebral capacities for thinking. Our capacities for thinking are stretchable beyond measures. I do not like to presuppose ideas. I never subscribe to the idea of atheists that there is no God, and neither do I agree with those who believe in God totally. I feel I have yet to discover it for myself. But what I strongly and firmly believe is that this universe is much bigger and more inexplicable and incomprehensible than what our little minds can fathom. This idea fashioning within me make think anything beyond conventional patterns. Thinking the unthinkable

This post does an interesting job of showing how important imagination is to our envisioning and shaping of our world, and how we are unable to imagine everything that might be.

All around us, we can see regularities, and can deduce laws of nature. What is it that infused mass and energy with organization and regularity? The limitations that make our imaginings possible.

Might there be worlds and times when those limitations are replaced by others? Might we imagine a world with no limitations (on form, on perception, on cause/effect, on stability, on anything)?

Or might we really be unable to do so?
Or might such a world be imagination itself?
