| | Cosmology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cosmology is often an important aspect of the origin beliefs of religions and mythologies that seek to explain the existence and nature of the reality. | | | Examples of esoteric cosmologies can be found in Gnosticism, The Urantia Book, Tantra (especially Kashmir Shaivism), Kabbalah, Sufism, Surat Shabda Yoga, Theosophy, Anthroposophy, the Fourth Way teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, the teachings of Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet, Gnostic circle and in The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, as well as the book "God Speaks" by Meher Baba. | | | A more contemporary distinction between religion and philosophy, esoteric cosmology is distinguished from religion in its less tradition-bound construction and reliance on modern "intellectual understanding" rather than faith, and from philosophy in its emphasis on spirituality as a formative concept. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cosmology |
| | Nevertheless, cosmology must borrow, and borrow largely, from the data of science, since the causes which it studies are not directly perceptible; they can be known only through phenomena which are their more or less faithful manifestations. | | | The Monist theory is that all beings in the world are but one and the same necessary and eternal substance having within itself the sufficient reason of its existence; while the seeming diversity of things and their attributes, are but the various manifestations and evolutions of this single substance. | | | It is on these that cosmology must rest in order to pass upward from cause to cause till the ultimate cause is reached. |

| | History of Cosmology |
| | To religious studies, cosmology is about a theistically created world ruled by supernatural forces. | | | Egyptian legend declares that the sky goddess Nut gives birth to Ra once a year, catalysing both calendar development and the concept of divine royalty plus the matrilineal inheritance of the throne. | | | The third stage, what makes up the core of modern cosmology, grew out of ancient Greek, later adopted by the Church. |

| | Cosmology: Wolff Haselhurst Cosmology: WSM explains Finite Spherical Universe within Infinite Space |
| | Currently, Cosmology is obscured by an incorrect belief in the ‘Big Bang&- that the universe is expanding, and thus had a beginning at some time in the past. | | | As we have explained, Einstein's (and many other philosopher's) belief in an infinite Space and time as being the most obvious and sensible universe is correct, this being a necessary consequence of the Spherical Standing Wave Structure for Matter. | | | However, the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) Cosmology, being founded on One thing existing (Space), is actually very simple and logical once known. |

| | Cosmology at Holistic Junction |
| | COSMOLOGY, closely related to astronomy, is a science that studies the Universe as a "whole." Cosmology is a means to find understanding to the origins of the Universe, its evolution, and final fate of the Universe. | | | Einstein's "General Theory of Relativity" helped develop cosmology's theory of the "Big Bang." According to theories of cosmology, all things have matter and energy within the Universe -- all are expansive, and everchanging. | | | Using theories or hypotheses, cosmology calculates predictions for phenomena by observation. |
