Good Day, All!
As I said earlier, English is still the most convenient language for me to use here. And as it turned out to be a personal and mostly private diary, it really doesn't matter, but after reading through whatever I had written so far, I realise that my grasp of this language is not as good as I expected. As I said earlier, the Human Languages are mostly representative approximations and evolved from sign languages and pictographic versions, but developed into phonetic scripted versions. And I can not consider the Braille or other languages for the deaf and dumb ones(No hard feelings, please; as no human being is really much ahead of those physically challenged ones). And phonetic ones have really reached the end of their life years back, particularly after the computer age, where material can listen to us!
So, a part of the efficiency I face with the grasp of this language is due to the topic I handle. So let me explain this part. I am in a trap, and I can not pinpoint anything I read or heard, has led me here, or rather, a combination of all. Many, I already knew and may be an indication that I am on the right track, or rather sinking deeper into the trap. Human language is good for materialistic(Sorry, just for representation, I feel all are fully materialistic or fully spiritualistic for me when I am conscious) things. Life-based elements are never dealt with well in human language. Just take the most common and favourite word we use, love, which is often misjudged as a partialistic or favoritistic-based feeling.
But the most important word is 'Truth', which is never well contemplated. The famous people, like the famous politician of India, Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi also quite confused about this word. After the age of 35, I tried to read his book 'My Experiments with Truth', and after a few pages, I had to stop, presumably because he was concerned about telling lies or facts. Also, I feel that during the Indian freedom struggle, based on the stupidest war techniques, nobody spent enough time and effort in learning English, and they all went for the most lucrative profession of those days, the law. English law was quite applicable in all colonial states, too. And never seen Gandhi, the movie, fully either, but just seen the scene where Gandhi was pulled out of the first-class compartment. He was telling that he is a barrister, all along, with a lot of pride, but I still do not know whether it is important to a ticket examiner, the profession of the passenger. As far as I know, he learned law in England, and also, if a white person behaved badly with you, it doesn't mean all whites are bad. Also, I feel that Indian English is the worst form as terms like 'knowledge is power', etc, in use here are absolutely stupid. Also, the lot is quite crazy about the words Independence, freedom and pride.
Regret the pause. It seems that there is no point in discussing my incompetence in handling this language, or the inability of human languages as a whole in dealing with a topic I am handling. One thing I noticed is that any title I have taken up makes me end up in a maze from which I am unable to get out. I am not sure whether I am led to a labyrinth while trying to expand these titles or threads, or am I within a labyrinth and I am trying to use these threads to come out of it. By the way, we all express ourselves based on an understanding of the world outside, and in my case, from the vantage point I am at, after reading and hearing whatever I have so far, it makes me believe that the path I am treading is not a beaten one. But at the same time, I come across points where people have reached, but as I prefer to be a loner, I never try to continue the beaten path they have made. The only relief is that maybe I am on the right path, or rather, beating a new right path.
Normally, people find that religion and science are two different things. Religion is normally seen as a combination of theology and philosophy for people pursuing that. I feel that science, when it matures, becomes a religion and naturally, the decline starts after a period of flourishing. Material science has already achieved the religionhood once the transistors and digital switching were invented. Or, rather, the cognisance in the pure Greek root stopped working for materialistic inventions. For common people like me, many things work, maybe just because I believe they do work. Christ and Buddha were the key reformers who insisted on physical work, and the material science developed to a level beating their purpose, I may say, apparently. Even the people from this part of Asia were more into self/ spiritual search in an organised way, dividing into four professions and working as a team, which eventually made them believe that they succeeded, the same way the material science of today, as I may believe. I said somewhere earlier that the Higgs Boson experiment for the God's particle was a success. Not actually, but as the intention itself was a success from my point of view.
Next, tell a basic thing that whatever I am trying to say is just based on the knowledge I have about the people who may come across my writings. And I am not telling everything I know, maybe theoretically. As I said, I have taken a path which is not beaten. But I come across points where people had already passed through or even died, and left, which makes me believe that I may be on the right track. And I know very well that the path is endless, and I just have to carry on: till I die? Maybe I should try to expand the #025 post.
I may generally be considered a Truth seeker, but what is meant by the word Truth in this context? I may mention the Higgs Boson experiment as the point of truth for the material science. Definitely, none of the absolutes we consciously choose is only turn out to be relative, and that is the main reason for the search for the truth. The only truth is that the conscious human being can not achieve something absolute, and hence no truth. The only attraction of this path is that it is unbeaten in any sense and extremely adventurous. Now, Theosophy states that there is no religion higher than the truth. I find some issue with this term as religion or any form of science can not be compared with the truth, or rather, the religion and sciences are only the path to take you to the mirage called truth!
Why do I say that the truth is not achievable may be addressed now. Let me consider a material or element, say iron. It is an English word, and it should serve the purpose as I am using English. Most of us assume that iron was discovered at some point in our timeline. But if we look closer, we actually come across a material with some specific qualities and, as found useful, started using it, and for convenience's sake, it was given the name iron. Tests were carried out so that a clear definition of the properties of iron was recorded. So any further production of iron was analysed to make sure it holds all the qualities of iron, and is used for the relevant manufacturing process. So, defining iron is a purely materialistic affair, and relativity works satisfactorily here. But
May continue.....
