But no matter how ostensibly unfathomable and complex the universe is, there is an apparent intelligence inherent. This blog is where endless dunes shifts constantly within my mindscape like as if the 'I' comprehends everything in the universe.Sujith Philiposehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02579943442946924949noreply@blogger.comBlogger371100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11350322.post-8800749944024227452010-12-17T15:18:00.000+05:302010-12-17T15:19:36.089+05:30

Do I even think of 'the how' of driving while driving? Steering left or right; Stepping-up on the gas; Easing down by caressing the brakes; Shifting gears to a vibration shift; pumping up the stereo volume; switching the aircon on and off. My car is like on autopilot really. And me too.What looms infront through the windshield is the vision of my future. It looks different the closer I come.What

Once upon a time there lived a monstrous dragon. It grabbed on anything it wanted and each day brought added new areas under its wings. The common man became either its slave or prey. It had huge wealth stacked up in its lair, collected over time from its conquests. This dragon was the Catholic Church. It had no worthy matches and it lived forever….or so it thought until along came the radical

Pai spent what seemed like ages on a sail-less (row-less & motor-less) boat floating helplessly in the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Though he had initially thanked all the stars for providing him with the presence of mind to run for the safety boats while the ship was tilting, he now curses all the gods for putting him through this misery of slow death.

A false ceiling, as I call it, is the limit or barrier that one mentally sets. It is false because it actually do not exist; it is imaginary and is the hindrance in to one’s progress or performnace. I believe therefore I am. It would be more agreeable if the line went: I am told so I believe and therefore I am.Looking back at the networks model, we can see that our identities are defined by what

I am beginning to increasingly believe that maintaining the quality of the relationships within one’s network maybe quite useful. Not really for altruistic reasons, but useful for at least one’s own good living. The better the relationship maintenance coupled with the depth of one’s reach within their network, the better it is for one’s own quality of life; while it may be not presently the

One perspective to the Recession:This is a corrective phase...correcting the collective greed that was prevalent during the bulldozing and hyped-up economic situation that was before.The corrective intensity is directly proportional to the amount of collective greed (conscious or subconscious) that was prevalent in the earlier period.Its victims are individuals and the systems that surfed the

Creative thinking, Positive thoughts, Productivity, Peace: How can we achieve any of these when our internal bandwidths are all hogged by the multiple threads of conversations? The conversations I am talking about are all internal; the noise between our ears.We are always talking to ourselves: Finding reasons, meaning making, debating, reconfirming our points of view, planning, scheming and not

Who am I?What formed my identity?Using one familiar model, the relationships-network, we could try simplifying and understanding. This model has the all-familiar nodes for entities (persons/individuals) and links for relationships associated with the entities. In this way we can draw a web (of relationships) centered on an entity (person).Imagine yourself as the center node. Spikes (links) out of

We consider ourselves 'Progressed', ‘Cultured’, ‘Human Beings’, 'Civilised' and ‘Chosen’. The rest are ‘animals’. Or are we ... yet? The Homo sapiens, like any other in the animal kingdom, have always been competing for survival. Our shaggy ape forefathers hunt, fight, kill, dominate and procreate on a regular basis. This enabled the survival of the fittest over the millenniums and in turn

Economists, Financial Analysts, Statisticians, Demographers, Climatologists, Astrologers and of course Business consultants do this all the time...Assume (make an ASS out of U and ME) and then predict the future.

George Romero should be smiling at the way the world is progressing or rather regressing. The situation now is almost like in one of his creations; it is hell on earth. Though a fan of horror flix, I first watched one of his zombie movies with a sense of disgust; I thought: whose perverted imagination is this? But in 2004 when I watched one of the most mind-troubling movies I have seen, ‘Dawn of

The title makes no sense and so does the ‘faiths’ of the times. I am not targeting the mushrooming Christian evangelist sects alone, which of course I am not in agreement with. It is widely known that the situation in other religious streams are not any soulful. But it’s always easier and accepted to criticize one’s own.There is no faith left, religions have become redundant. Church seems like a

The hubulkok is a colourful bird. It travels a long distance, on an instinctive route, to mate and nest. En route this long flight, only some 700 kilometers before touch down, it passes over the hot and sunny beaches near the Great Pillar cliffs. Here, if the sea lashing the cliffs brews up something special a few hubulkoks may stop for a travel break. An oceanic rubbish sludge current sometimes

At the beginning of the 20th century most physicists believed they soon would come up with an explanation to everything in this universe i.e. A Theory of Everything. Arising to the occasion came Einstein, Neil Bohr, Heisenberg with his Uncertainty Principle, Schrödinger with his Cat and many more. But the theory didn’t come. Instead we saw a series of new discoveries, more mysteries, more

One of the yearnings in human beings is TO KNOW. Curiosity is generally inherent in higher brained animals but an itch unbearable for humans. May not be the priority of the moment but this yearning to know is actually more powerful than any of the other obvious needs such as food, shelter, etc. So this need is rightly positioned in the top tier in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.If one can observes,

Though it seems unreal I am convinced that (some) Jnana Yogis can attain the so-called enlightenment state. However there is a caveat for Jnana yogis. It is dangerous path if one is not destined for it and/or treading this path without proper guidance. It may have led many from simple disillusionment to severe mental illness.

Thank you Dan Brown for sweeping the path for me :-) There exist many entities in this big universal soup. But surprisingly most of these entities exist in two polarities: Either Positive or Negative, Bright stars or Black Holes, Males or Females, Matter or Antimatter (rare I understand) and so on. The tendency of each of the polarity is to search for the other, reach the other and ultimately
