The Mind

The Human mind has created many things... but the three things important to us today are science, commerce and religion... I designed the picture above to make a graphic depiction of the three components rather the three powerful destructive elements.

From the begining of time...

From the very beginning the process of thought have created a sense of separation... a sense of division... right from the day we invented fire... and came across the barbecued flesh... when we invented crops..planting seeds, keeping cattle.... it has driven us towards insecurity... we wanted security.. we wanted the security from hunger, security from the other tribe, security from the animals, security from the storms, security from the fellow people. We formed clans, groups, marked our cattle, territories... and stayed in groups with a belief that this will give us security...

And later we started breaking up humanity in every form of isolation - on the basis of religion on the basis of nationalities, economics, commerce, ideology, philosophy and advanced toward fragmentation and destruction. We "thought" there was security with the tribe, with the religion i follow, and with the nation i live. That is our knowledge made us think that we are secure with a particular group ..and so on and so forth we created different nations, different flags, set up boundaries and each nation started thinking they are different from the other....

And from one century to another as we progressed the feeling of individuality - that every one has a separate entity as an individual grew strong... but we forgot that the way we feel the individuality is also felt by others in the very same way with the same insecure feeling, same fear, they also have their own escapes in the form of religion, philosophies, beliefs and all accumulated and structured by the same thought process..the very fact that we have a different physical body and bio-chemistry makes us think that i am a different individual with certain special distinction....with some particular quality...but all these qualities are just a superficial layer..take that away and we are all same....the qualities which are common are pain,sorrow, fear, insecurity, loneliness...we are all same...one entity...if you remove the few extra qualities from a nation ( the military, the extra resources, etc.) then we all become same...


And the same thought process developed in our mind, our own set of illusions in the form "escapes" be it a philosophy or psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, astrologers, philosophies, wars, politics and religions - be it Christianity or Hinduism or Buddhism or Islam. The next card is on religion....

Mind, action and thought

Our mind is the most strange phenomenon in nature. One one hand it is extremely complex and on the other very simple. Rather, it is made complex due to the many psychological compulsions we have or acquire during our existence in this material world which causes the conflict and the pain, the resistance to certain aspects and the acceptance and acquisition of some. To be stoic, and just observe them without involving our "conditioned thought process" and let them pass by and not be entangled in them, is mission impossible - i am not saying unattainable. Life was always like a vast ocean and we float on this ocean with our small fishing net... catching things every now and then...we hold on to some while some we throw away thus creating - happiness and unhappiness.

Again all this acquired knowledge is used to build only our own self - our own beliefs, our illusions making everyone of us a self centered entity.Whatever we observe is guided by our desires, our motive our memory our thought. I want this , i don't want this, i am correct, i want to be a director, i want to an actor, i don't want a aeroplane, i don't want to read this shit, i know better, i want sex, i want solitude, i hate liquor, i like guys, i like to show off, i like to blah blah... knowledge makes us create an image of our own self and others around us in our mind from which our actions take shape... actions which takes shape from the self-centered knowledge and our selfishness, ego, vanity and aggression is always damaging and will give rise to conflicts - conflicts between man and woman, conflict between societies, nations, institutions, religious groups and all people.
