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....

Knowledge time and thought

Our whole life is based on action which is driven by our thoughts which again is based on knowledge. Knowledge acquired either by study, research, through experience, accumulated over time or out of action (meaning you do something without thinking and then learn out of it). We lead our daily life out of this actions, learn and again modify our act from that knowledge. But the accepted fact is - knowledge is never complete in any spheres - be it science, arts, relation, music, poetry, literature, farmer, or with anyone. A part of the knowledge is always filled with ignorance.... and action out of such knowledge can never be complete... there is yet to be an action which is complete, which is free of greed, jealousy, aggressiveness, confusion, and which never results in attachment, conflict, pain and sorrow. Even in love or in marriage all our actions are based on the image of our partner or our spouse which we cultivate in our minds based on our previous impressions, images - and we act based on that image in our mind - (from knowledge) which gives rise to conflict, division and biasness, coz we think we have complete knowledge when in reality we do not. Also to be mentioned here love is not just valentines day where again we see commerce eating into human emotions. As such our actions based on incomplete thought which again based on incomplete knowledge is always incomplete in nature and bound to result into conflict between each and everyone of us even man and woman.

There is one more factor to it which is time - as gathering knowledge requires time - we learn over a period of time. Even to know your loved one you require time. Time is also there in our psychological existence like i am an executive today - i want to be a manager , i love this girl and want to marry her, i have a bike but i will drive a car - and we think time will help us to attain these positions... all our desires, greed, expectations, assumptions, ambitions are time dependent. So the basic component of our mind is thought, knowledge and time which determines 100% of all our actions.

Like in the next card we will see how human beings have lived a million years with this conflict from the very beginning ...and we are still continuing to live with the same conflict... and so i believe and maybe others also that there is something drastically or radically wrong as our actions emerge from the same destructive mind... and maybe we will remain trapped in that self centered being for another million years...unless....( that is another card ... the final one...)

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.

Science, Pseudo Science, Knowledge and Imagination

Only yesterday I was debating about the realms of knowledge and things like astrology, tarot, numerology etc. Not that I believe in them and not that I discard them as absurd and rubbish. There was a time when nearly all of mankind thought that the world was flat except maybe a single soul:)

However to explain this - i took help of a little diagram which will speak a lot more than my words.

Knowledge expands the circle of science both towards the past as also the future.

If you search for a meaning - a meaning can be found in almost everything - astrology, tarot, numerology, reiki, vastu et. all.. it's not the source of reasoning which is important - what lends strength to your meaning is the faith and belief you have in it or in the reasons and mostly in yourself .... human insecurity has alwys pushed mankind towards this escapes and many a philosophers ,and religious gurus has built up institutions on them - if you go by strictures or if any particular philosophy tells you do that and do this..then its useless... you have to search for the truth on your own... with a free mind....

Science prospers on the strength of imagination which on one hand extends the boundaries of mystic or unknown while on the other leads us to unravel them with reasons....

Knowledge helps us extend the boundaries of science both into the past as also the future - you can prefer to live inside the shell of an egg and discard everything which tries to define what's outside - or you can question and try understand the unexplained....

Imagination has always made us dream that there is a door and questioning has always shown us the right path... but imagination always need to come from a blank state of mind which is free of any prejudice which knowledge or experience brings...

Origin of Earth and Mankind

This blog will try to deal with two vital questions - origin of earth and origin of mankind.

Some things are scientific - where we try to find logic within our knowledge and explore deeper for answers again within our knowledge. Like a child's vocabulary is limited by the sounds he can make - similarly our science and reasoning are also bound by our knowledge.

An example would be the famous story of Issac Asimov - Nightfall . Imagine a world with six suns - and people living there who have never known or seen what a night is and never thought there can be a universe outside. The story is beyond me words and has to be read to fully realize the philosophy within...

This post is not a science fiction - this post is about a logical reasoning ( again the logic is limited by our perspective) on what could be our origin - is it by chance , or by creation or by experiment or by anything else beyond perception...
