To The Best Of My Knowledge

 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 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..

 Good day, all!

                         I googled to find something I read in Stephen Hawking's books or elsewhere, and I ended up with this term. And that was the one I was looking for, but not by Stephen Hawking. Wonderful theory, but it's definitely from one's imagination running wild. Purely extrospective! Bundled with the googling, I came across a lot of theories, and as I am not too interested in prediction or knowing the future, I left them. I may like to proceed with a vision inward and outward and accept reality. And if you know the future and can't do anything to change it ( as if you can alter it, then it is no longer the future and may end with the assumption that the prediction was wrong!), it will be of no use, or rather it will be a nuisance.

                    All these are similar to watching a movie in the theatre in the olden days, without knowing what is happening in the projector room!

More on this later...

PS. As I said, I hold on to only one theory: that everything in this universe is unique, and I have reasons to accept it. And whatever I write is an absolute truth and similar to a river, which may change its path as needed. The name Albert Einstein chose for his book The World As I See It, too, implies that he was really concerned about the relativeness of this world, and to me, it beats the famous relativity theory and energy-mass conversion formulae he was famous for...

And the word Destiny needs some attention. Shall try to do it.

Also, if the mankind of the world comes together, forgetting all the differences, it may do more wonders than all these extraspective theories. Maybe the last challenge to deal with may be the thiest/ athiest division. But then thinking differently but integrally may solve that issue too!

 Good day, all!

                         This could have been part of post #025, Death is a myth, but actually, the content of this post was totally overlooked by me in that post. It was always known to me that modern science was never able to crack what happens when one sleeps, and in itself, it was a great achievement for modern science, as all other sciences/ religions accepted it as a normal process. In #025, me too took it as one, but only to realise that it is as complicated as death itself. 

                                                          First, let us consider the way one sleeps. It is always termed as falling into sleep, and it is never a conscious act. You can never say when you fell asleep, except maybe some people who sleep off the moment they lie down, and I think it is quite rare. And once you are asleep, you are not on the time axis of this world, and I always felt that the transition from consciousness is asynchronous. That makes it a non-conscious one, and you can not remember when you fell asleep. I have no idea what happens when one sleeps. Dreams and nightmares; I have no clue about them. Many say it unwinds you, but I always felt the other way round. You will sleep if you are totally unwound, and sleep winds you up for the next day/ or conscious period. It is just a hunch I have. 

                      Getting up can be more synchronous, as I felt, because the mind takes control of that part. Sometimes it is very close, as you may remember something the moment you regain consciousness and act instantly. Somedody/ something waking you up can have different results.

I do not have more to write on this now and please see this with the post #25.

 Good day, all!

                         I first heard it from a YouTuber, Great Scott, and it was great. But maybe I was familiar with the idea from the late eighties, when I used to do the crossword puzzles from the Indian Express Sunday edition and The Hindu newspaper those days. I was quite confused about how they used to come up with the puzzles every day with quick and cryptic clues. By the way, cryptic ones were easier for me than the straight ones, as I was never good at English, but a bit better at logic. Sooner or later, I realised that they fill up the templates with interlinking words and then make all the clues and give us the empty template every day. It was as simple as that. The same happened earlier, maybe, with Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, as he may create the crime and the scene/ location, etc., and then present us with the missing links that slowly converge to the full story.

More on this later, as it may be more relevant in the search for the so-called absolute truth!
