The Buddhist explanation to Dejavu
-
The Story of Dejavu surround around and FBI agent Doug Collin (Denzel Washington)who went back in time to save Clare Duchever from killed by the terrorist
There is two approach from a Buddhist viewpoint
1.Brain waves ,as in Buddhist concept of consciousness can NEVER be reproduced as the transmigration of one form to another.So it is impossible to revive a person with the accurate revival of a person
Law of Karma governs this .
2.I do not deny there have been US Army experiment on travelling to the past(Which end up in disastrous result) to use a material which travel faster than aluminium or steel at a speed against speed of light
the problem is that no one can control all the pre-conditions in this experiment
Doug Collin did able to save the MArines and Clare Duchever ,but however he was killed ,as the karmic magnetic effect is there and someone must die .
In Buddhism concept there is no someone out there to Create this event, so it cannot be blamed upon anyone ,any omniprescient beings
My friend was arguing the loopholes in this movie ,which was modelled akin to the Groundhog days ,I replied that not to be bothered by the storyline ,as such thing is not possible
On the other approach , even if one can travel into the past like Doug Collin doesIs one able to manipulate the sequence of event that take place in the past?
I am sure things start changing (my argument based on the Time Machine )
and Denzel Washington will never able to save Clare.
It is as Heavy Karma which is ripening ,due to the past lives enmity of the terrorist with clare in an distant past.
Time and dimension still remain an illiusory concept
as Buddhist ,i have learnt to be open abt such concept .so i welcome any arguments to this posting

i also incline with past being the past. one cannot change already. if not Buddha also can change. but a higher bodhisattva/Buddha can look back the past of sentient beings.
i think according to Hawkings, each action made is a timeline. another action choosen is another parallel timeline. parallel mean parallel. to go from one timeline to the next, you would have to follow the new timeline. old timeline becomes invisible or disappear imho.

Well ,Hawking is great, but he scared to antagonise the Anglican Church on his views .Well that made him an born-again christianOriginally posted by sinweiy:i also incline with past being the past. one cannot change already. if not Buddha also can change. but a higher bodhisattva/Buddha can look back the past of sentient beings.

If we watch the Time Machine .The time machine couldnt succeed to bring back the lady death -
I do not believe it is possible to change events from the past.
And yes... indeed no means as such is capable of overcoming karmic forces. -
how can go back to the past?
back to the future is a sci fi, not reality.
when u r a baby, u grow up to be a teen, then adult, then old man. how can one possibly go back to a baby or teen, unless its next life when u die, u reborn as another person -
On time travel.
Read and cherished a book by a Singapore Local Writer when I was young. Lost the books due to multiple moving of homes.
Finally, after two years of reserving that book with the National Library. I got the book prior to flying off to Phuket Thailand.
Its called: Star Sapphire
Written by Han May.
Will discuss the storyline soon as I am too tired now.
Gist of the story is that a young lady in future, wents out to space to work on a Starliner. Marooned on a plant with the man she loves and eventually returning to her time via the same black hole that maroons her.
Incidently, she was marooned and married her man 9 years earlier. Time travel story. However, written by a local Singapore writer. I find her idea of telling that story by not forcing on religion, by claiming the Christian faith is called "The Mind" and the followers "believers" somewhat of a correlation to Buddhism teachings.
Will elaborate on another date. In the book, there is concepts of deja vu, time travel and Heaven/Gods's/fate at work.
A interesting and non intimidating read.
Sorry....yawns yawns yawnzzzzz. Nite folks.
