Why is Faqir Chand’s experiences important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles?
Faqir Chand was a renowned master of surat shabd yoga. He is perhaps best known for his admission of ignorance surrounding his miraculous appearances to disciples during times of need. For instance when there was war and the solders where out or ammunition he had to call for more because they did not have enough to continue fighting but they could not send it to them till it was too late, tired he slept and in the dream Faqir Chand came to his dream and told him not to returned fire to the opposite side that all they wanted was to retrieve their death people that was it. He listened and the opposite side retrieved them and never tries to fight them. The solder return and told Fagir about it and Faqir did not remember of it. Dis like on dreams or when you are dying you see a light and at the end of the light something or someone is there. This is some of the important experiences in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles.

What is meant by the phrase, “philosophy done well is science: philosophy done poorly remains philosophy.”
“Philosophy done well is science: Philosophy done poorly remains philosophy”, means that in order to be considering science it has to have and explanation. If you do a test it has to have a good outcome, it has to have an answer. If you want to use a medicine for cancer, heard, or other disease you have to know is going to work. Philosophy does not have to have an answer to the questions. For example the black hole in space we do not know what is inside but we know it there. Another example is the truth about religion and God we are not sure they really exist but just by the people believing on them is turn to be philosophy.
