Neuroscientist Christof Koch «was looking for God as a booming voice from the sky», but Gurū Nānak founder of Sikism found God within himself, as we described here:
Yogi Bhajan, master of Kundalini Yoga, PhD. said to this topic: «And today some of our children and teenagers are confused, as we where once confused, because we did not teach them to find God within themselves».
Are these the words from Gurū Nānak?
Sikhs are very strikt, as Kundalini Yogi s are. They are not allowed to change a single word from the holy teaching. Yogi Bhajan, a Sikh himself knew how to find God. So could he have taught Cristof Koch how to find God within himself? Unfortunately Yogi Bhajan does not live anymore to teach it to Cristof Koch.
If we write to Christof Koch how to find God according to the Sikhs, that he could learn from Gurū Nānak and Yogi Bhajan how to find God would Christof Koch not ask «in which paper has this been published»? Yogi Bhajan had a PhD., but it was a PhD. in communication science, and he did not write any papers about this topic.
Could not Sogyal Rinpoche write a paper about it? Sogyal Rinpoche was a Tibetan Lama born in Tibet, and although he was a Buddhist, he attended a Catholic school in Kalimpong and then studied in Delhi, and after that hes studied comparative religion in Cambridge. Sogyal Rinpoche was very familiar with the mind and the nature of the mind. Due to Sogyal Rinpoche s openness to different religions would he not have been qualified to write a paper about the topic which we discuss here? But unfortunately Sogyal Rinpoche does not live anymore either.
But anyway is not a scientist who is familiar with Sikhism better suitable to write a paper about the topic «how Neuroscientist Christof Koch can find God», eventually with a neuroscientist as co-author? And what exaclty are we looking if we are looking for God?
A guy who grew up in a Muslim family in Teheran told us once in the Persian language «God» and «myself» are is synonymous to each other.
He further told to us that “I am God”. “He is God?”, is this not a blasphemy for Christian?
But did not Jesus say “I am the son of God”. How could he say this? In the Bible it says: “And as Jesus prayed, the heavens were opened… and a voice from heaven said: “You are my beloved Son, in you I am well pleased”” . But why did the voice from heaven speak to Jesus but not to Cristof Koch? Because Christof didn’t pray enough?
And was Jesus not crucified for statements like this: “I am the son of God”? Was the voice from the heaven the voice of God? And if so, why was he then crucified because of these statements?
Jesus was accused of blasphemy by the Jewish leaders. Blasphemy is a religious offence, when a person says or does something regarded as being disrespectful to God. In the eyes of the Jewish leaders, when Jesus claimed to be God’s son he was insulting God.

And Jesus was tried for blasphemy for claiming to be King of the Jews.
The term Messiah comes from the sacred writings in Judaism. This is what the Tanach refers to as the legitimate king of the Jews, appointed by God, whose throne, according to Jeremiah should always be occupied by a successor of David for eternity. From this, ever since the prophet Isaiah and especially since the end of the Israelite kingdom, there has been the expectation of a future Messiah who will finally realize the will of the God of Israel and will bring all Jews together and liberate them from foreign rule and will bring about a kingdom of justice and freedom.
Could a guy like Soygal Rhinpoche who studied comparative religion in Cambridge answer all of these questions? Eventually a research grant and a scientist who is trained to answer such questions would be necessary to bring clarity in all of this.
