A Place better than Heaven.!



If we are given a choice between heaven and hell, I’m sure everyone  would pick the Heaven unless anyone is thinking beyond the accepted way of thinking.
Then, how about this?  If I say, there is a better place than the best ever imaginable heaven!
Would you agree?
The concept of the "heavenness" or "hellness" is solely depends on the level of positive or negative emotions one gets. As I explained in my earlier post, the root of every emotion is desire.!  Nothing else.!
Now, Can the level of emotion be limitless? If this is to be limitless, then the Heaven or Hell would not be able to satisfy the needs of the emotions. In that case, can we call it heaven? 
But as we all know the accepted concept is, that the heaven is a place of maximum happiness.!  OK.! Let's leave that aside and bring our attention to the place better than the Heaven.


To begin, let's see how a person expected to be being treated in the heaven? Of course, that would be the full of "foods" to fulfill their desire, in order to keep them extremely happy.
Now, let's think for a moment that we know every individual being is so different when we come to consider the amount of needs in order to make them fulfilled. for example, you see the perfect meal is not the same for everyone. The amount of sugar in your tea or coffee for a perfect "cup" is not same for everyone. - Consider the quality & quantity not the variation-
This shows that to be fully satisfied which is in other words to get to the very peak of the happiness or heavenness, the amount required ingredients are varies among people. Which means your heaven is not my heaven and your hell would not be my hell.
Then we can conclude that the level of desire determines the state of heaven. 
Now imagine that if we can reduce the level of desire to a zero or to absolutely nothing; we do not care about heaven or hell. Do we?
After all if we do not have a desire, do we need any fulfillment and therefore a heaven?
Ponder this; If a monkey do not have a desire for a bungee jump, does he care for if he has or not the opportunity for it.?
If a person gets a pleasure from someone scraching his litchi rash, does anyone wish to have that same rash in his back in order to enjoy that pleasure?
Therefore the conclusion is, in the state of not being in Heaven nor in the hell is like being out of the box. Isn't that a third place where you can be.?


I wonder if, we can call this Nirvana..? 




Happiness is..an ever growing desire Basket.!


Happiness.! that is the best thing a person (which include Animals) can achieve. No matter how you could try to explain,the sole purpose of life is to pursue happiness.
Happiness is always achieved when a certain desire or desires fulfilled with the desired ingredients.In other words, if desire is an empty container filling that emptiness with the desired ingredients will create happiness.
Full satisfaction or fulfillment is the ultimate happiness which has no happiness beyond.
Now, the problem we have is the fact that we cannot retain that happiness forever, due to two reasons.
1) The effectiveness of the ingredients we provide would not be remained constant due to decay.
2) The "emptiness" of the "container" will grow even bigger soon after we reached the peak of happiness.
Out of those two reasons, the 2nd one is the most powerful and makes a profound effect on our lives.

Every problem and every effect we face, every technology bit we create on this earth is due to the 2nd reason.The mother of all problems we have is the reason number two. Why? because every desire we fulfill will create more and more desires to be fulfilled.  Which goes on and on and will never ends.!

Right.! Are you with me so far.? Now, As I mentioned above, the root to the all happiness or unhappiness is nothing else but desire.! Now, one can ask, where do we get this desire from and why?  The answer is they all are within us.! They are coming from our sensory system and the brain. We are the "toys" of that system.!

Can we escape from that and be happy forever?  Yes.! Theoretically we should be able to do that.
Then How?
There are two ways,
1) Keep providing those "ingredients" to fulfill the desire as long as it needs them.
2) Stop the growing "empty space" by controlling the desire or cheating it.

we know that we all are day and night trying harder to achieve the number one. that is why you are at work, that is why you are running a business, invention, almost anything you do. Are we successful ? you decide.!
How about No. 2 ? Can we try that? In my openion, that is not going to be that easy. We can try to hold or hide our desire but not very long.
Certainly we can cheat temporarily with the help of drugs alcohol etc. But for how long? when we are back to reality, you will find things are even worst.

In any case, if we are to achieve total happiness by implementing one of the above 2 methods, only the 2nd method is the most practical and achievable if we have the right technique in our hands.

Can a religion provide this technique? I dont know.!

According to my understanding, Buddhism provides a method. But I have not practiced enough or achieved enough yet.! It makes lot of sense, but I cannot speak for that.

Pleasure is best enjoyed, when mixed with another.!


Pleasure is something we get or experienced by one of our 5 senses, plus the brain.!
If one wants to enjoy a certain sense to get a higher level of pleasure, it is best obtained by getting another sense's help to compliment it, or variation of the same sense.
Examples: Food is best enjoyed when you are in a beautiful surroundings and very nice music. Also it is a fact that the taste of the food is improved when mixed with different tastes.
For some people, watching Sport is best enjoyed when you have a beer for brain stimulation.
Sex is best enjoyed, when you are in strong love with the other person, Clean and smells good, surrounding is romantic etc.
Movie is best enjoyed when picture quality, the sound quality and surroundings are better. and also having pop corns too.
Music is better enjoyed when it is performed.

The Big bang and Small Bangs.!


If the universe happened due to the big bang, then everything inside it happens due to the results of that first bang.! therefore, all the other "bangs", even our thoughts should happens due to that first bang.!

Do we get thoughts spontaniously.? without any cause to occour that??
When you have a "Good Idea" did you think about it where did that come from?? May be it is due to a result of another, another and another thought....or seeing something triggered some other thought etc.

Can you predict what would you think next.? I guess no one can do that.!
If it is so, Are we just being animated by someother unseen force..?
I think all are it happening due to the "Big Bang".!
Aren't we bit like a computer and the software running inside it.?

If that is so, do we have a free will at all..?

One may think that there is a higher power controlling us. But saying that can we escape the question.??? Who or what controls that higher power..??
==============

After writing above blog, I wanted to think more about this. And I went to Beryessa library park.
The idea I got is a concept from the Buddhist texts,
Which is basically saying that, all everything around us is conditioned by other stuffs around us, then they works according to the collective force of those conditions. Example: the trees grows according to their genetic makeups but that is not the only factor, the earth conditions, weather, gravity, amount and direction of light ect. contributes to it's overall outcome. In similar manner we may get our thoughts and decisions due to the conditions surrounded us, which include our level of desire and past experiences.
You can get some idea about the Buddhist concept here, http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/karma.htm

Why do people want to share their Religion and Politics, but not their bread and butter.?

If you see everywhere in any country, people are very keen to recruit more people to their religion or their party politics. No matter how harder they guard those ideology, still they want more recruits.
However, when it comes to share other resources; no matter how abundant they are, many are reluctant to share it.
Why..?
This is not due to their generocity that they give us a true religion or more fairer politics. But instead due to their own selfish thinking.
They are afraid that one day their ideology would disappear and then they wont be able to keep it for generations to come, and therefore to gain the number power to gain more desired outcomes.
Simply, people wish to live in their world filled with certain ideology and they like to see those ideology remain stronger even after their death. Many have desire running beyond their graves and they keep forgetting that the death is the end of all that.

Good and Bad is nothing but creation of our own Emotions.!

In this whole universe, there is no good or bad things or events. It is something like, If there is a stone on the ground, and can you determine if it is a good or bad? For most of us; who cares? donsent matter.! That means it doesn't matter in this question it is not relevant.
Also, the breeze move some leaves in a tree. Does it matter to determine it to be good or bad? No.!

Similarly, all events happen and things existed in this universe is just unimportant as long as we don't bring our emotions into the picture.
As soon as we bring our emotion get attached to it, it becomes one of the two.
For an example, someone is hit by another, then it becomes bad for the person being hit and it could be good for the hitter. Also it could be (depends on the reason being hit) bad for many other third parties as long as they try their emotions in the hurt persons viewpoint. It could be other way around too.

Therefore, every policy and every law we make, every religion we follow makes absolutely useless and no requirement if we don't have emotions.

All beings running on their emotions without it they would be like mountains, snow and etc.

Also, we can make a conclusion the soul or conciseness, where ever it existed it is definitely based on emotion.

What is the Purpose of Life?


The "purpose" very word itself mean nothing if the subject do not have the thinking ability. For example, can a stone ask another stone what is the purpose of being a stone? No! Then to have a purpose it has to be a person or a life. Otherwise, there will never be a word purpose. ( I hope you understand what I mean) Because the purpose will be validated only with the association with the pursuer.

Therefore, a purpose can be there when a thinker is there. then there will be a forward flowing path but there never can be a final goal. If there be a final goal, then we will be back in the square one! what is the purpose of the purpose of achieving the goal?
Therefore, the "purpose" only can be, a never ending flow of events to validate the purpose. Otherwise the purpose of the purpose is no purpose.

Then, when you apply the above concept to the life, there is no finite purpose in life. There only can be reoccurring or never ending flow of events.

So, what is this never ending flow or reoccurring events? That is nothing but fulfilling the desire of our sensory organs! As the desire could never be fulfilled permenantly, the purpose will be there forever.
That means, we are living because we need to fulfil our desire of our sensory system and that urge has become the very purpose of life.
One can also present this as to be happy. But the fundamental source for the desire to be happy is our sensory organs.

The sensory system included, five senses plus the Brain.

Just imagine that if we do not have any of the above six senses, do we care if we are in heaven or hell? and there is no purpose of anything at all. it is just like being a stone. Nothing else!

Brain Switches


Brain and its functions are equally mysterious and it is unimaginably complex. 

However, we all know that every person is an individual and their talents and capabilities are completely unique in each and every way you look at it.
It is these features finally decide the personality of the person and mostly decide the outcome of the person's life and future.
If you take few individuals to do a same task or same type of studies,  you will notice that not only that they do it in their own unique way but also some have special talent or interest on any particular subject or skills than the others. 

Now, if you take any human brain out of many you will see they all are same almost same weight and same anatomy.
If that is the case how this could happen?
well.. my answer for this is that each individual brain is preconfigured when a person is born, to give certain characteristics to each person. This makes us who we are as each individual person.


Therefore, some may be talented in philosophy, music and other could be talented to be great mathematicians so on.

 

Also I believe that every brain is capable of every talent but there some particular talents or capabilities are turned on or off by default.

Also I believe that in rare cases, some of these brains have “malfuncions” due to some reasons. You can find these examples as autistic people. These malfunctions could sometimes represented by missing some important social skills, learning difficulties etc. And also we can find them as extraordinary people such as autistic savants who are extremely talented in special skills like music, mathematics etc.

 

These malfunctions means they are missing important social and other compulsory switches switched off but instead some of the capabilities are not only switched on but also their process power settings are turned to an optimized level.

 

N.B. Please be aware that these ideas are not made through any scientific discoveries or observations nor copied from any one else’s ideas. These are results of some of my thought experiments and analysis.

How does astrology work?


Well..! I have had a thought about the same question. but I think that we are in a constantly moving and inter connected system since the big bang. if the big bang is similar to a lottery ball container with a force to move the balls inside, then if we have reliable techniques to calculate every single ball's movements and subsequent hits and linear / non linear movement with other balls. we should be able to precisely tell what ball hit where at a given instant so that we should be able to accurately predict the outcome of the winning numbers.
in the same way this whole universe is a box of lottery balls, which each and every action and even our thought is happening due to linear and non-linear chain reactions till the end of chain reaction. eventually one day stop all everything.
we can apply chaos theory and butterfly effect to this. same way as we can calculate and predict the exact spot where a linear projectile will fall, we should be able to predict the nonlinear actions and therefore predict the future.
if we be smart we can predict the future by using just one or two attributes which related to any given incident.
for an example as we can predict an engine malfunction by listening to a engine's noise. The noise dose not control the malfunction but it is an attribute to the process.
In the same way, wouldn't the astrology's planetary positions be an indirect indication to a future outcome?

Hmm..! Whad do you think about it?

Who has the right?

We human are most privileged to use this planet in our own rights and we tend to believe that all we have in this earth to be consumed by humans and therefore we could exploit it. But in fact we have the same and equal right with tiny ants, termites and all the other creatures and they also have the same right as we are.
Maybe we might call ourselves most advanced and compassionate species on earth. But in fact we are the most lethal and cruellest animal living on this planet.
Because we have larger brains and so called intelligent, we tend to brutally dominate this world, taken way other creature’s right to exist and gradually destroying this beautiful planet.
We have false belief that we are trying to support the existence of other species in this planet by conserving them, but in reality we are trying to protect it from our own distraction.
Just because we are the most advanced creatures in this planet, do we have more right to do anything? Can we kill other creatures and use them for our own benefit?
How about if there is another even more advanced and intelligent creatures suddenly came in to existence and decide that they will take us to end up in their dinner plate?
