1. Why is Faqir Chand's experiences important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles?
Faqir Chand's experiences are important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles because he was acknowledged and accepted as an influential religious figure that religion vision and miracles do happen sometimes. As stated in the book that faqir himself doesn't claim to have absolute power to work miracles, regards his disciples as his gurus, and talks openly about his spiritual failings as a young man and seeker. Faqir also points out that many “holy men” died terrible deaths, or had family problems and other foibles while living. In the film "Inner Visions and Running Trains", it marks the background of Faqir Chand. Therefore, Faqir Chand's experiences are important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles.
2. What is meant by the phrase, "Philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy."
I am agree with the phrase "philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy." Philosophy can be a branch of science, which is overview of the science conclusions from the basis of natural science and social science, and including the discussion of worldview. Whether it be biology, chemistry, math, philosophy and so on, and their reasoning rely on experiments based on many trials. From important perspective of philosophy that can lead to discussion and results based on factual evidence, much likes science. Philosophy has the ability to answer questions much like science. These explains "philosophy done well is science" Philosophy is theory about the worldview, which is the generalization and summarization of the specific knowledge. Scientists understand the universe is less than 5%, not fully understanding, summarize the worldview. Then there are all sorts of conclusions, including the conclusion of pseudoscience. And, as long as the basis of the lack of scientific reasoning, will never couldn't discuss the results.
