To The Best Of My Knowledge

Good day, all!

                        This is quite a valid theory for humans, and the reason I'm bringing it up here is to analyse whether the idea of death is valid for this statement itself, too. In line with the creator of the creator issue. Now let us start approaching.

1. Please note that it is meant to be about things, and time and space may be excluded. Previously, I had raised a query about time and space, and let me tell you that space may not be a property of life, or rather, not related to life, but time definitely is, as it may run fast or slow, apparently, due to one's mood swings. Clocks show the time related to celestial bodies and are not based on our own experience.

2. As I have said in a recent post, I may state that there is no pure spirituality for a conscious mind, and any level of extraspection and introspection remains within the realms of materialism. Minor variations to this can happen during meditations in Yogic culture but may be neglected. So, for one alive, one cannot go outside materialism while keeping one's persona intact. Down here, in the Hindu culture sage-like people once achieved some level of ability; the system gives a new name to them, representing their achievement, and thereby alters their persona itself. But I do not think it may really help.

3. Death really doesn't happen to living things. And death doesn't really mean total destruction of something. Any form of transformation, and, like, ideas/ rules getting obliterated by new ones. New inventions making old ones obsolete, etc. I think the point I wanted to project is quite clear, and I want you to analyse whether the statement I have mentioned as the title of the post itself had a Damocles ' sword above it.

4. Greek mythology was derived from extraspection, and Hindu mythology is more intricate and based on introspection. In both, the concept of God is very much alive, and that is why I feel that materialism and theism are mutually exclusive. They co-exist. And the term God is a tough nut to crack, and just following scriptures written years ago may not help you on the way. With the progress of material science so far, miracles alone can not be sufficient as an identity proof. Panacea and elixir are very much in the pipeline, if I had read it right! Let's add one more thing and pause. Hinduism, in its four Vedas, deals with four Yugas, and total destruction occurs at the end of Kali Yuga, and then everything restarts. Surprisingly, 8 people remain alive or rather, come back to the new one, and I am still confused about the total destruction. 

The idea behind taking up this post is to say that the laws/ rules said in such scriptures may become invalid over a period of time. As the element of death or something similar is unavoidable, my worry is how this statement can remain external to all we perceive!

 Good day, all!

                         I had posted many incomplete ones on the money, too, and I may have to delete them and bring them all together. I just remembered some different aspects, and I just wanted to jot them down. 

                     Whether it is west or east, making it on one's own is the priority, and excelling is the goal set for all. Many fail, and they are treated as failures until they come up in life. It all starts with money, and a few get solace in fame and power, relying on other segments besides education, like sports, arts, and even politics. They may not pay directly, but as I have said, money, power and fame are interconvertible. I am not going to Hindu mythology or the present status of the digital currency system with an intricate computer network. Both are quite heavy to deal with here.

                                           When I say money is a tool, many won't understand, as a tool like a wrench stays with you after you do a job, but money goes away. But please remember that the money leaves you, but it remains in circulation, more like a baton in the relay race.

                                         Amassing wealth without absolute care for at least the society you live in creates so many failures around you and the money you made in excess, and the efforts created those failed humans, with the added effect of snobbery. Enforced corporate social responsibility is in no way going to solve the problem.

More on this later...

PS. Did I ever say about abolishing the Christian prayer 'Our Father in heaven" for at least the rich ones? This one is just the tip of an iceberg!

 Good day, all!

                         Bipolarity is duality; it is quite normal. And that is one reason I am against Advaita Vedanta, which is quite famous over here and accepted very much, too. Actually, I never read anything much about it, and have no idea what it is. But I do not like the word. And I always judge a book by its cover and its name, contrary to the adages. As I have dealt with earlier, I believe, if you accept one, then the whole integer system emerges, and you add zero, and it becomes the foundation of material science and more. If you are not bipolar, then you are not alive; as simple as that. 

                                                                                 But there is one bipolar disorder I observed around me: believing that God and the Devil co-exist. If light is there, you can't see the darkness, or rather, light has already beaten darkness. I think we made a mistake in thinking God is good, and we needed somebody responsible for the bad, and so we created the devil!. But good and bad are just complementary and opposing terms, and it really depends on perception. Nobody does anything bad, and 99.99 per cent of the time human beings cause harm to someone due to the circumstances around them. And that is created by careless people around them. And care is the most important term, which weighs too many times more than the most popular word, love, which is quite slippery like an eel all the time.  God and the devil both are created by mankind, and neither of them could have created us. If you are in pursuit of the real creator, you will have to shed these concepts and realise that good and bad are just relative terms and hold no real value!

Another reason for the God and the devil concept was to establish morality where humanity failed. It really needs to delve deeper.

 Good day, all!

                         Credit for the title goes to the music troupe America. Actually, I bought all their albums as a soft-copy bundle at a premium price from iTunes. Even before that, the first CD I ever burned on my Copaq R4320 US, bought from Long Beach, was their album The Best of America. I gave it to my steward Paul, who was coming to America for the first time and refused shore leave! 

                                            So, coming to the point. I've been at sea on ships, with names much more important than the ships itself, but I never expected the sea to make me do a solo dive to the Challenger Point of the Mariana Trench! Maybe I did it before James Cameron!

Just joking... 

 Good day, all!

                         I had already posted many titles on these, and some are not finished; I have to start elaborating on a few. The reason for this title is to give a bird's-eye view of these topics, and it may remain as the foundation of all arguments on these topics dealt with in the other posts. 

                                                                As far as I think, materialism prevails, and it will never end up as a religion, as religion is a stagnant state with hard and fast, unquestionable rules/ rituals. The term ritual itself makes it illogical. On the consumer level, materialism may appear as a religion, but I am sure that the top brass of materialism shall maintain it as materialism or rather science.

              For us humans, pure materialism is unattainable and, if at all, only at a temporary level. Basically, it is really not relevant to search for the creator or how our life energy works, but it is just like an itch, or curiosity of our own mind, and most of us succumb to it. In earlier days, with limited intellect and science working on basic cognisance, it was quite natural for religions to mushroom. But today, many things which were once considered miracles are happening with the help of modern science, with the touch of your finger. So basically, spirituality, or spiritual seeking, most of the time is an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sad to say it, but I feel that way.

        Now, will spiritual seeking help us in any way? Yes! I may use an analogy from science itself. It is about the centrifugal and centripetal forces of a revolving mass. We can see only the centrifugal force acting. And I had a tough time understanding the centripetal part, and even now I do not have a very clear idea about it. But I am sure it is a valid concept. Introspection and extraspection are analogous to the above forces. 

                                                                                       And another thing is that when we see a tree or plant, with flowers or not, we admire it, and we may not care about its roots, which are the most important part, maybe. But we can not dig up the roots, and it may kill the plant. And the same goes for a building or your house, where the foundation is holding it together, but you can't see it. 

                                                    I think I have said enough, and the purpose of religion/ spiritual powers is not really needed with modern science working well, but desperate ones may go for it, and it will work for them. Miracles still happen, but not under the total control of religions. 

I think I included enough...

Spirituality is a bottomless pit and should be entered with a safety line intact, but materialism gives the earth and the skies! Just roam around free!

Just remembered the song by Barclay James Harvest - Life is for living and living is for free. But living is not for free right now(even though nature has a multitude of what is needed to bring it into place), and if at all the so-called new world order comes into place, it should make living a free thing! No more muscle stuff, please. The concept of owning things is the culprit, where we are only caretakers here!

Footnote: Frankly speaking, there is no spirituality for a conscious human mind, and everything is materialism; that is why we have to name things like mind, soul, life energy, etc. That is why Yoga tries to take you out of your consciousness, but I feel it is going to do more harm than help you. Happiness and peace of mind are to be attained by finding out the real reasons why you are devoid of them, or why they are insufficient for you. Maybe you have enough, and you need to make some adjustments to yourself, and Sadhguru's inner engineering may help you. Introspection or extraspection: you never go out of materialism. Also, spirituality may not always be related to the concept of God; introspection is quite possible for a theist and an atheist. You may end up with God, or you may not. But then, if you by accident reach a conclusion that there is no free will for you, even for a minute period, then God evolves by itself, and be ready for a roller coaster ride!
