A Lesson from the Atlas 3I Debate

The recent discussion around the interstellar object Atlas 3I shows how challenging openness can be in our collective thinking. NASA did not share any useful clear evidence to support its conclusion, yet it continued to insist that Atlas 3I was a comet. The public, noticing this lack of transparency, remained unconvinced. Almost immediately, mainstream media outlets and major scientific institutions began repeating NASA’s claim without questioning it. The label was accepted and echoed, even though the actual observations and anomalies were not fully explained.

Independent researchers and amateur astronomers pointed out several anomalies and openly shared better pictures. They weren’t claiming alien ships or miracle objects. They were simply asking for a fair, open-ended investigation. But their contributions were mostly ignored simply because they did not match the official narrative. This pattern reveals a deeper tendency in all of us: the instinct to protect existing assumptions rather than explore new possibilities.

A Parallel To The Search For God

Is there a God? Is there proof? These questions cannot be settled with instruments or formulas. No laboratory can capture the infinite, and no theory can fully express the mystery of existence. The search for the divine is an inner journey that each person must walk sincerely. And for that journey, openness is essential. A rigid mind, whether strongly theistic or strongly atheistic, closes the door before anything real can be discovered. Truth reveals itself only to a mind that is willing to look freshly.

Science and Spirituality

Science and spirituality are not meant to be boring. Somewhere along the way, both began to appear heavy, dry, or overly serious. But in their true essence, both are filled with wonder. Science is curiosity in action. Spirituality is openness turned inward. When we approach them with sincerity and a sense of play, both become alive, joyful, and deeply engaging.

Institutions do not lose credibility by being curious. Humanity, NASA, or any organisation becomes stronger when it explores without fear. Reputation is not damaged by openness. Reputation is damaged only by refusing to look. Keeping our eyes shut is not strength; it is simply avoidance.

Curiosity and Openness

Whether Atlas 3I is a comet or something unusual is not the real issue. What matters is the attitude we bring to the unknown. Science evolves through curiosity. Spirituality deepens through humility.  Openness does not mean accepting everything or rejecting everything. It means allowing space for possibilities. Truth does not enter a closed mind; it enters a mind willing to look. The question of God requires the same openness. Not blind belief. Not blind denial. Just the courage to inquire sincerely. A rigid believer and a rigid atheist share the same limitation: both have stopped exploring.

The universe is vast. Our knowledge is small. But our capacity for curiosity is infinite. Whether we are studying an object from deep space or turning inward to understand consciousness, the invitation remains the same: 

• Be curious
• Be humble
• Be open. 

When the mind lets go of “I already know,” clarity begins to shine naturally.

A New Beginning: Introducing My YouTube Channel

For a long time, writing has been my way of sharing insights, reflections, and moments of clarity. Many of you have been reading my blogs for years, and I’m grateful for every person who has walked this journey with me.

Today, I’m happy to share something new.

I’ve created a YouTube channel called Radiant Orb Where Silence Speaks.

This channel is an extension of everything I’ve explored in writing but now in a more experiential format. Instead of just reading about peace, clarity, or self-inquiry, you can listen, sit, and experience these states directly.

On the channel, you’ll find:

• Simple wisdom for living with clarity

• Deep meditative journeys

• Whisper-style contemplations, poems and metaphors

• Spiritual insights explained in simple language

• Short reflections

If you’ve been resonating with my blog posts over the years, I believe this channel will feel like a natural next step. I would love for you to visit, subscribe, and walk with me in this new medium.

Thank you for being here in silence, in thought, and now in sound as well.
