1. To begin with, it should be stressed that Faqir Chand has experiences that has been gained through the years of scientific work that has focused on the spiritual matters. Chand asserts that the visions and miracles are the illusions that the consciousness projects. He asserts that the "visions are only because of the impressions and suggestions that a disciple has already accepted in his mind" (MSAC Philosophy Group, 2014, p.5). Considering this, it should be stressed that Chand introduces a new theory that explains people's believe in miracles as well as strong faith. They consciousness has been programmed to believe in such things and at some moment in life they tend to see these programmed visions. This statement also implies that the religions are similar or even the same due to the fact that the religions, in accordance with Chand, are the products of mind and all the differences that exist in them have been shaped by the belief systems. Chand's viewpoint is, therefore, another concept that explains the religion, miracles and visions and understanding of it is critical for forming one's opinion on the subject matter.
2. The phrase 'philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy' basically refers to the arguments that are used for advocating certain philosophy theories. The experts assert that humans frequently tend to explain things by trying to use the objects and phenomenon that are physical (Neuralsurfer, 2014). Only after all these things are exhausted, they turn to use the intellectual concepts. Therefore, the philosophy ends where the science relying on the physical evidence proves certain fact. In this regard, science is finite and philosophy is indefinite, as there is also room for reasonable doubts. Considering that the Earth is immensely diverse there are still a lot of unanswered questions that would be explained with help of poor philosophy. Yet, it is presumed they all will transform into ‘philosophy done well’, there is into the science. Yet, it seems that within this passage the role of philosophy is underestimated. However, I consider that here it is just opposed to the science.
