Dear Narendra,
I'm happy to find out that you find the „time" to read my essay and even happier to hear that you liked it. Your appreciation not only made me profundly happy but also gave me peace of mind, seeing there are still people concerned about the world in itself. Regarding your clarification, I think the only difference is our way of expressing ourselves, which in turn comes from a certain different cultural background. And still:
1) I agree with you that religions of the world have mostly been used for dividing the human race. Whether it' Vedas, Upanishads, Heidegger, Jung, Castaneda, you or even me, everything that is different is, as I said, the language , our way of expressing things which derives from our culture in every single aspect. Ultimately the spirit expresses itself the same in every one of us and I think it will - at the very moment the world will be awaken - make us understand eachother beyond the language barrier. Or better said to feel eachother because we are essentially a physical manifestation of the spirit. Regarding death, I think it's something we either need to transcend, or to "live with" during our entire life. Such an experience should bring new horizons to us as living beings, not scare us.
2) Regarding the part about "physics was wrong so many times" I was referring to the fact science evolves permanently and things which were unconceivable in the past already tend to look dated. About Patanjali, if I'm permitted to say he's dear to me by his openness and also the simplicity his teachings are expressed to the public. Great people are able to permeate everyone's spirit and reach them in their simple way. Their greatness comes from being able to bring lots of people on the path of enlightenment, just renouncing to their greatness or better said to their ego. As regarding terms like "conscious" or "unconscious", these are overly-employed because they're easier to understand to the larger public, because they've made their way to the social psyche through a certain cultural mechanism. You can use some other words instead, or invent others, but there will be time needed for the world to accept and therefore understand them. You may think it's the other way around, but our bad habit is to only understand what we can accept and only accept what we can find ourselves into.
3) On this matter I think we don't need to discuss any more because I see we've already reached an understanding.
In the end I want to thank you for your appreciation and also for the opportunity to discuss matters really dear and important to me. Good luck to you too with the contest !
