Cause ?

Any period of focused logical thinking effort begs an equally long period of totally thoughtless expression. The balance between these two, is essential for the effectiveness of both.

Although, to think thoughtlessness needs efficiency is not appreciated now. This blank state, does have the underlying unconscious working away.

To me thoughtless yapping is as good a meditation as any. Benefits are not in the realm of “known”. However, when this expression is in the form of speech, it may be mistaken for insanity. If that matters, there is a need for other forms.

The additional benefit is the efficiency of the clarity of the logical thought process. Honoring these alternating states could mean extraordinary connection capabilities. Those that can connect seemingly random dots to form a beautiful picture.

The question, however is, is this just correlation or causation itself?

Notes from Sublime - Perspectives gained

The book - "Story of B", stuck some chords in me. 

I wanted to share my notes / quotes from the book. 

Any culture will become an obscenity when blown up into a universal world culture to which all must belong. Confined to the few hundred square miles in which it was born our own culture would have been quaint and bizarre. Blown up into a universal world culture to which all must belong, it is a horrifying obscenity.

Gun powder is a mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. If one of the ingredients is missing , then the mixture is not explosive. Our culture consists of three essential ingredients and if any one of them had been missing, no explosion would have taken place in this planet.

Totalitarian Agriculture

Belief that ours is the right way

Great forgetting.

Man was not born a totalitarian agriculturalist and city builder. What was forgotten was the fact that our way is not ordained from the beginning of time. The great forgetting was the key ingredient in our cultural explosion.

Combine one never before seen cultural element with a second never before seen element and a third one just as odd, and you come up with a cultural monster that is literally devouring the world – and will end by devouring itself if it isn’t stopped.

Why did they become Agriculturalists? 

What did totalitarian agriculture give them that foraging didn’t give their neighbors and ancestors? 

Totalitarian agriculture gave them power. The revolution wasn’t about food, it was about power. 

That’s still what it is about.

Golden Deer

Who is this ideal person we are seeking ? When some goals are met, newer goals are given to reach . We take one arduous journey after another only to find that there is more to be taken at the end of it all. We rush by, ignoring everything else but the goal . When we reach it , we get one more goal to work for.

Isn’t that “Maya”. Are we not seeking something that is not real ?

All our data is collected and analyzed based on an average of the samples. When a group is identified by the average attributes, is it not possible that there is really no sample with the same set of attributes as the average. Does it mean that the sample is wrong. No! The sample does not care. It is for the ease of people studying the group of samples that these attributes were designed. Does it make any sense then, for the sample to work towards the Average – The IDEAL ? The ideals / average ( are the words important ?) defined by some group at some point in time , for some purpose has for some reason become the ideal. I am not saying that some group / some point in time / some purpose are unimportant / coincidental.
