One framework, told through a novel.
PHYSICS✧LIFE✧CONSCIOUSNESS✧EVOLUTION✧SCIENTIFIC SPIRITUALITY
AN ENTIRE FRAMEWORK. ONE STORY.
From the universe around you
to the life within you.
Why does the universe obey these particular numbers? What is life? Where does consciousness come from? What are you, and what happens at death?
God’s Mystery Room brings together the physics and consciousness research of Vijay Shankar Sharma. It derives the universe within his framework, including fundamental constants and quantities, and follows the same inquiry through life, evolution, healing, intuition, the soul, death, God and prayer.
It also presents answers to all sixteen questions about the self associated with the Buddha’s Sabbāsava Sutta. The ideas unfold through a novel of approximately 115,000 words.

Source papers: P2802 / LIFE & CONSCIOUSNESS
Where does life begin?
What does it mean
to be conscious?
The book presents Vijay’s Law: everything in the universe is alive and conscious in degree.
From particles and atoms to cells and complex organisms, the framework traces a continuity of living capability. Consciousness becomes a graded physical property, connected to structure, sensing, integration and the conditions that sustain a system.
Consciousness in degree does not mean that every system has human thought or human experience.
Life across scales
Latency, perpetuation, cellular autonomy, dormant life and cooperation across increasingly complex forms.
A Consciousness Index
Intrinsic capability and its expression, compared across cells, seeds, plants, animals and humans through the framework’s model.
A cellular civilisation
The relationship between individually living cells and the coordinated person, with implications for identity and continuation.
03 / CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION
How does life find
its next form?
Conscious drive. Environmental opportunity. The search for a form that can continue.
The novel develops the framework’s account of directed adaptation, cooperation and convergent evolution. It examines independently evolved eyes, coordinated biological strategies and the connection between problem-solving and evolutionary change.
04 / SCIENTIFIC SPIRITUALITY
The questions that reach
all the way into you.
The same framework carries the inquiry from physical reality into the living body, the soul and the question of God.
The living body
Healing, expectation, placebo and nocebo, cellular communication, intuition, meditation and coordinated attention.
The self & what continues
Soul and identity, death and continuation, afterlife and rebirth, near-death experiences, past-life reports and apparitions.
God & prayer
The individual and the universal, the physical substrate, faith, religious experience, focused attention and alignment.
These are subjects explained and examined within the author’s framework. The complete arguments are developed in the novel and supporting research.
16Answers to the Buddha’s
EXISTENCE. IDENTITY. ORIGIN. DESTINATION.
Answers to the Buddha’s
sixteen unanswered questions.
What am I? Did I exist in the past? Shall I exist in the future? God’s Mystery Room presents answers to all sixteen through the same framework that connects matter, life, consciousness and evolution.
Read the sixteen questions
- What am I?
- How am I?
- Am I?
- Am I not?
- Did I exist in the past?
- Did I not exist in the past?
- What was I in the past?
- How was I in the past?
- Having been what, did I become what in the past?

- Shall I not exist in the future?
- What shall I be in the future?
- How shall I be in the future?
- Having been what, shall I become what in the future?
- Whence came this person?
- Whither will he go?
The list follows the author’s Level Five paper and the novel’s Chapter 74. The Sabbāsava Sutta discusses these questions as objects of unwise attention; this list is distinct from the ten or fourteen undeclared questions found elsewhere in Buddhist texts.
