Lightbulb Exploring The Soul, Time And Mind


Among many other countless and unimaginable power and attributes Space, Time, and Mind are the potential attributes of the Divine Being. Space is the soul of this universe, without which life-Time of the current universe is not possible, same like the life-time of biological beings is not possible without the soul they embody, which is immortal in the case of human beings, like the Divine Being is immortal, reflecting the fact that soul is the attribute of the Divine Being in the sense that both are immortal in nature. Time is the reading faculty of the Divine Being with which the Divine Being witnesses all that happens in this universe , while Mind is the power of brain in eukaryote and power of sensory parts in unicellular organisms and some invertebrates, for comprehension and management of the entire organization of a living Body, especially high in the case of human beings , who are called by the Divine Being among the entire creativity of this universe , as His special creatures .


The Divine Beings says…



“Time is a witness, that man is surely in a state of loss, except for those who believe and do good deeds and exhort one another to hold fast to the truth, and who exhort one another to steadfastness.”
Surah-e-Al-Asr


This part of the last Divine Book shows that “Time” is a faculty of the Divine Being to read the universe, made organizationally functional by the presence of space in and around it, in the form of viewing, observing and collecting information about what has happened , happening , and/or have to happen in this Universe. All of this information about happenings in this universe are gathered and recorded cumulatively with the Divine Being and thoroughly comprehended with His super-consciousness, beyond the imagination of human beings.


God is All-Knowing, All Aware”
(Surah-e-Al-Hujurat)


Starting with the question, How can time be divided into past, present and future, as time is believed by most people in this divided format of existence, believed as comprising past, present and future ? However answer is very simple, that, for-example a person faces a certain happening , occupying a certain duration/period in his/her life-time, and then the same person faces another happening , either of the similar or different kind/nature , occupying another duration in his/her life-time, likewise a third happening occupying a third duration of Time. This variety of occupied durations of Time by happenings makes human brain tempt mentally to get functional that time can be divided into sections, i.e past, present and future, as it gives the impression that "Time" has different durations or periods reflected by various occupying happenings in one`s “Life-Time”. or more easy way to say that "Time" can have past, present and future because of taking turns of “Day and Night” or “ Different Days of a Weak” or “Different Seasons of a Years” .


Apart from this view, another view about “Time” also makes the frontal lobe of brain functional to think that if time is divided into past , present and future on the basis of “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow , or going more back into past- part or into the upcoming future- part of someone`s or something`s life-time, It gives the impression of the“ Time as a Single Whole Continuum ” because such life-time(s) is integral part(s) of "Time Continuum" giving a contrary to the above making less-sense view of “Divided Time into past, present and future”.



According to Wikipedia after referring to multiple scientific sources , been mentioned at the end of that article about Time on wikipedia.com....


“Time is the fourth dimension and a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them.”


This obvious only justification about “Time” been considered as consisting of past, present and future from worldly point of view.


However, As each living entity,(as well as non-living ) has a” Life-Time” exclusively, Time is not what is restrictively limited to the” Life-Time” of someone or something , by those who study “Time” and Divide it into parts of past, present and future, which can actually be merely possible for of someone`s or something`s life-time exclusively.


The concept of “Time as an individual Whole Continuum” is more rich with reality that there is always repetition of” Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow in the life-time of each entity, at individual/integral level” ,connecting the” Back Past-Part ” through connecting intervals between happenings and happenings with “Ahead Upcoming-Part” of someone`s or something`s Life-Time. Which shows a clear difference between “Time, as been set apart Whole Continuum by the Divine Being” and “Life-Time of someone or something as set apart at individual/ integral level by the Divine Being”. From we can make sense that Life-Time witnesses “Past , Present and Future “ while “Time as a whole continuum” is a Divine faculty of the Divine Being with which the Divine Being reads the events of the entire universe from start of this universe till the extinction of this world , as well as the happening(s) of The Doom`s day and beyond that as well, lastingly and thoroughly. Same like at individual level we the human beings can have the skill to read a text or observe an event and gather information, bout what we read or observe , and add it to our already gained knowledge during the functionality of our brain or then skip through pushing the information into the unconsciousness of the brain after availing through sensory-neurons.


There is a clear difference between the concept of “Life-Time” and that of the “Time as a whole continuum”. With life-time of something or someone till the extinction of that someone or something, as a part of the set-apart “Continuum of Time” .OR collectively the “Life-Times” of each and everything starting from the origin of this universe till the degradation of this world, proves that all the life-times when added up become a part of ”Time Continuum” as Time is not is going to be extinct with the extinction of this world as it’s a Divine attribute and goes beyond The Doom`s day and happening after that, which are more especial there.


Here a question raises that Time should be considered the life-time of this universe. However reality, supported by the fact that this universe will collapse once back on itself, proved by knowledge gained after research by Human beings about end of the current Big Bang and revealed by the Divine Being onto them , both in the Last Divine Book, as well at worldly level, which makes it clear too that life-Time of this universe is also an integral part of "Time`s Continuum" . Time is witness of events and things which are more especial in the Hereafter after this world/universe.


Nonetheless, Time is called as fourth dimension, by scientific knowledge , where it is associated with the space, phrased as “Space-Time continuum”.


“Time” when considered as fourth dimension and associating it with space, is same like associating the” Soul” (embodied by a living being, making animation possible of that living being), with the “Life-Time” of that particular living being.


It makes less sense that Space is three Dimensional , as believed by science summed up in the form of a definition on the online site of Wikipedia, after referring multiple scientific resources that….


““Three-dimensional space is a geometric three-parameter model of the physical universe (without considering time) in which all known matter exists. These three dimensions can be labeled by a combination of three chosen from the terms length, width, height, depth, and breadth. Any three directions can be chosen, provided that they do not all lie in the same plane”””


However when we focus more on reality, we find and observe that space is not something geometrically (geometry of something or someone is characterized by or decorated with regular lines and shapes. Additionally, if the space is removed off, the geometry of physical things will not fade away, though may get de-shaped in the absence of space in or around such physical things ) shaped .

Three-dimensional-space is just an imaginary concept about space havng no solid logical basis.


The Bigger and near to our vision in this universe is earth , which we are capable to touch too. Space , can not be touched, and is what the collapse of this entire universe has been stopped because of the presence of that space in and around it, supported by the fact that if space is taken off from this universe , universe will collapse back on itself, which clearly shows that space is making the animation and functionality of this universe organizationally possible with entirety . Or in more easy words we can say that space is the soul of this universe.


Geometrical Mathematicians , Geologists and other Scientists who talk about the three-dimensional-space and geometry of things, can be made correct in their view about the three-dimensional-space , that nothing is having more perfect geometry than the planet earth, ( which is the basic subject of the so-called geologists and earth studying scientists), and basically believed as having four directions, i.e East, West, North, and South based on magnetic field inside of the earth. However when some more focus on the directions of earth has been put, sight caught some more information about directions of the earth, been mentioned (however not understood completely) , which are North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West. All these directions based on magnetic field of the earth, common sense of researchers and observation of the rising sun from the east and hiding at the west, having no concern with space to point-out the directions/dimensions .


So ,how come , space can be called as three-dimensional, after not having any geometrical shape nor providing any clue about any dimension.


Here the Brain gets functional about the dimensions of earth after having perfect geometrical shape, that If the East to West is considered one dimension, North and South is considered another dimension, and North-West and South-East is considered third dimension. We go beyond the three dimensional concept easily to four-dimensional-geometry, based on the directions of geometrically solid earth.


This fourth dimension mentions and signifies the remaining North-East and South-West dimension of the geometry of earth, which proves that Three-Dimensional-Space concept is entirely wrong , instead it should be Fourth-Dimensional-Geometrical-Concept about earth or something or someone on earth.

(If space is imagined as having geometry, which in reality is having no geometry, how about the dimensions of sun, moon, and stars ..which have geometrical appearance.)


Similar should be the case with all other geometrical things that exists physically shaped in this universe, based on the real concept of four-dimensional geometrical shaped earth and its mentioned directions, supporting the four-dimensional-concept.


The Divine Being says..


And who remained chaste/(protected) her genital parts , so We blew into her from Our Soul/Spirit , and We made/created her and her son (as) an evidence/sign to the creations all together/(universes). [1]
Surah Al-Anbiyaa



Same like “Life-Times” are part of “ Whole Continuum of Time”, Souls of human beings is the part of “Continuum of Space”, as proved by this cited verse of the last Divine Book, The Holy Qur'an.


Or in more intelligible words, Soul is the essence and spirit of the entire creativity of this universe, making this universe be considered as Living-Universe, excluding those things which can neither embody nor contain space.


Early in history “Plato” believed in the” world soul”, as an intrinsic connection among all the living things residing in this world, same like the soul is believed attached to our body..this concept known as “Anima Mundi”, is having only traces of accuracy and correctness , and is less rich with reality.As it is the space which serves to make communication possible among all that we see in this functional universe, however Plato the originator of ’Anima Mundi” could not understood enough about the “World Soul”, proved by the fact that when Plato believed in world soul he limited the concept of “World Soul” only to communication among living organisms. While reality is that it is space which makes this universe and keeps it intact, ( incorporating both living and non-living things ) organizationall and functionally .

Soul at individual/integral level , for instance that of an individual human being after making him/her organizationally and systematically functional , makes communication possible with the surrounding environment with the help of his/her five physical sense organs i.e eye, ear , nose, tongue and skin all over the body . As these five sense organs have neuron(s),(the structural and functional unit of Nervous System) which transmit information triggered by a stimuli from outside of the environment or similar is the case of transmission of information through neuron(s) when the internal organ(s) , like heart, liver , etc have to communicate ( for staying functional and animated), do send information to the brain like do the sense organs concerned with external environment, make the brain systematically functional about what the brain receives in the form of information from sensory neurons, for example a color seen with an eye, a sound heard with an ear, or a touch felt with a part of skin on body, or then the keeping of balance in functions of internal systems of the body of a human , a process called Homeostasis in biological sciences, (managed by the power of human Brain) concerned with unconscious potential functionality of human brain.


The reception of information by human brain keeps the brain always systematically functional either in conscious , subconscious or unconscious state of functioning , completing the stimulus-response process of the nervous system of a Human Being at Individual level.


Besides the stimulus-response process , brain has also the potential to gather information of observation, understanding the environment, thinking,, or memorizing. All of these activities and functions of ( human ) brain collectively is mentality or Mind.


However science is confused about the concept of Mind., even after defining it correctly to some extent. Science is still not sure what the mind actually is. According to Wikipedia after referring to multiple sources of scientific knowledge, the definition of Mind this site states is..


“A mind is the set of cognitive faculties that enables consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, and memory—a characteristic of humans, but which also may apply to other life forms”.



Faculty actually and obviously means potential , power or skill of someone or something. Same as the power of brain what it uses it in the or managing various functions(Mind) , as I said above.


However the same page of the same site about Mind, raises question after not finding any perfectly accurate answer, even after the work of prominent personages like Plato, Descartes, and Leibniz etc referred by that same page, trying to figure out, what Mind in reality is.


Question ask about “Relation of mind with the physical brain and nervous system – a question which is often framed as the Mind-body problem?” Can be answered as , that, Mind is the term for the collective functional capabilities of brain and the function of Mind in the nervous system is the management of stimulus-response process.


Another question concerns “which types of beings are capable of having minds, for example whether mind is exclusive to humans, possessed also by some or all animals, by all living things, or whether mind can also be a property of some types of man-made machines.” Which is answered in here that , all living organisms capable of managing the stimulus-response process, at least, should be considered as having “Mind” related to less or more amount of Brain in eukaryotic organisms and its capacity of functioning, while on the sensitivity of sensory parts of prokaryote(s) and other unicellular organism. However If man-made machines can have any of the above discussed functional features of brain , they should be considered as having “Artificial-Mind” otherwise not.


Raising questions about mind may vary from person to person , however answer is same with no possibility of any alteration in answer that the functional potential and capabilities of (human) brain is “Mind”.


After all the activities and requirements of the organization of individual Human Body managed by Brain, makes it easy to say that “ Brain is the Managing Director “ of the organization of human Body after the Divine Being blessed human beings with it (brain).


Similar is the case with management of the entire Universe which makes me call “The Divine Being as the Managing Director” of this universe. The Divine Being more than praise-worthy is “Managing Director”.


“The Divine Being is the Managing Director of the entire universe”, in the sense the Divine Being has admiringly named Himself in the last Divine Book with the name “Al-Alim” “, which means that He is “The-All Knowing” , same like brain consciously, subconsciously or unconsciously , whether we feel its awareness or not, managing the entire organization of our body, .


Here a question raises that if mind is subconscious or unconscious how can we call the brain aware. Which is finding fix that as the systematic functions of the organization of a Human being are maintained and balance in functioning of body systems is kept rhythmic , to less or more number or extent of body systems , homeostasis, a maintenance and balance in function which can not always be felt , proves the fact that brain is aware of the entire Human Body and is managing body systems, same like The Divine Being is aware of the entire universe thoroughly, which let-in the reality into comprehension of Human Beings in here that the Universe is entirely , organizationally and systematically functional because of the power of The Divine Being, making it easy to understand that how The Divine Being is Al-Aware of this universe entirely.


Without the functional power of brain of the human being, in case any one part concerned with its own function(s) , is not working properly, that particular human being would be abnormal to some extent however not fully, in the sense that brain would be unaware to some extent depending on the defect in the brain`s functional potentiality , which the scientific knowledge term as leading to “Medical Syndromes/Disorders” (related either to body or Brain), categorized on the level of defect in the functioning power of human brain.However entirely function of human brain can not be defective , which in other words means mortality of a person.


Likewise we can not call that an insane person is abnormal, supported by the fact that his/her body system are enough functional to less or more extent because of some properly correct functionality of the brain , capable to keep that insane person in animation physically.


Moreover the nature of Human Brain as Managing Director of the entire organization of Human Body is different than that of the Divine Being , as a Managing Director of the Entire Organization of this universe, in the sense that with the power of the Divine Being, being “Al-Aziz” in His last divine book meaning Al-mighty ,(this entire universe is systematically functional, and may suffer from disorders to in different aspect of it, like storms and floods etc in environmental aspects, which finally lead to balance again in the universe functionality.) including the gravitational pull of earth and centripetal force of Sun and Moon ( where some people believe that rivers have soul , a wrong belief intellectually after been revealed by the scientific knowledge as well that the water current is made possible because the gravitational pull of earth and centripetal force of sun and moon on the tides )., making the water-flow of rivers and oceans possible through its specific routes.


Al-mighty , The Divine Being , is taken by believers to believe that the Divine Being is present in everywhere and in everything throughout the entire universe, which is potentially a fragile faith in the Divine being of fragile believers,. When the Divine Being is believed to be present everywhere in each and everything of this universe , it in other words means that the Divine Being is dispersively present everywhere , and is part of each and everything, easily leading to shirk, rather can be called as routine shirk on daily basis among weak believers in the today`s world`s. (Oh God Mercy).


By believing so, weak believers are violating the call of the Divine Being to do pursue His attributes in the universe, and not to believe the Divine Being with such risky faith that the Divine Being is present everywhere and in everything, which is putting faith of we the weak believers at risk in reality.


Consciously and Correction-ally speaking, it is more safe way to say , believe and make our faith firmer in the Divine Being by pursuing His attributes and not Him everywhere in each and everything throughout the entire universe, after realizing what Al-Mighty actually means,as I explained.


By the virtue of great Divine might, the power with which the entire universe is organizationally and systematically functional, putting each and everything of this universe in His good grip of awareness and control. While we take this concept unintentionally wrong that Divine Being is present everywhere, which we should avoid.


Al-Mighty, the Divine Being keeps Himself aware about each and everything throughout the entire universe, Like I illustrated with the example of power of human brain, which is aware of the entire organization of Human Body, collectively working , termed as Mind.


After all The Divine Being is not Visible physically , however His Highness of Might and Highness of Consciousness never let Him stay unaware of His created Universe. Which clearly shows the Love of That Divine Being with this Universe entirely in which we live.


In other words we can say that when the attributes of the Divine Being are present in each and everything , this obviously means the presence of Love of the Divine Being in everything, especially we the human beings, which we never tempt to realize and care , while adding the violation of the rules of Divinity and making the current world a Hell after flooding it with crimes and offenses in one form or another , our-self. Even after call of the Divinity to human beings multiple times in the last Holy Divine book , The Holy Qur'an, to explore the attributes of Divinity everywhere in the entire universe, which makes the "Pursuers of the Divinity" as “special creatures been blessed by the Divine Being with intellect, the power of brain , making them Humble High Beings..
