More than Words !

............... continued  How many of us read footnotes to great texts. The Secret Doctrine written by H.P Blavatsky has a tremendous amount of footnotes. I have realized that I love reading footnotes as much as love reading the content.  Many ancient culture put forth the concept of spirit of the language. Language is a sort of vantage point to humans, and we can push our conceptual thinking to witness the observer. Language lets us see the being of beings, thing of things. That itself goes beyond the primary understanding of matter. We know, that which has life in it can only create life. Also, language as a spirit is based on vision. (here, I do not mean sight) Without the power of vision, it is almost impossible for language to take its form.  When you listen to a temple bell, you can distinctly feel two dimensions of feeling, the sayable and the unsayable. Language has the capacity to carry both of them. It surely is an deep inner struggle to give ...

Language is a domain of cosmos. It was the first singularity that humans explored. Think of an era before language, and think of an era after language. Those two era's are completely different dimensions for us as a civilization. But over time we have lost the synchronicity with language.  Language today has remained just as a tool of speech and expression. A is just an A. Which fills in the blanks of our communication. 'mAn', just merger of three words with reference to a meaning. We have almost completely lost the touch with the etymological origins. We have remixed into a world of talking but not truly communicating. But it was not always so. In antiquity, and at some level, even in the modern time, language is the foundation of divinity. The cycle of involution and evolution.  During the Greek era, words were alive. They had identity. These identities communicated with man. A was not just merely an A, as in Latin. In Greek, 'A' had an persona. He w...

The seeker: Where can we draw the line between living like a human and actually being a human?  The inner seeker: This can be a classical debate or a modern epistemological understanding. Whatever it is, there is an constant sublime question about what is to be a human. Who is a human? With the outbreak of internet, we have been exposed to numerous act of kindness and sense aphrodisiac by the animals, just a little bit of googling and youtubing, everyone can find them. Animals portray those characters that we consider to be humane. And some human don't. So, who is a human? The animal with sensitivity toward a collective life or the man with absolutely no regards to sensitivity of others.  Does being able to speak, make us a human? Is that the criteria?  In 1884, Dr Gustav Theodor Fechner, a German experimental psychologist suggested of an idea in which he explained that animals are sentient beings. For the first time, beyond alchemy, in rega...

As he was walking through the (now-here land) he met- Voltaire,  a man beyond words Voltaire silently whispered to  his ears: 'god is a circle,  whose center is everywhere but  circumference nowhere'. He bowed down (trembling) knowing that the map is not where his home is a song is not the singer nor the sung and as Watts had told him,  'menu is not the meal'. But he was offered  the best meal in the whole universe  a meal-less meal a meal so fulfilling that  he does not need to  eat anymore in his life. A poetic meal of her poetry. Her poetry of  mysterious coincidences. He called her the goddess of  non-causal parallelism.  A sufi.  A temple. A chapel door.  An astronaut.  An extraterrestrial circuit.  A resurrection.  Elixir of the wise.  Moment within moment within moment, Coincidentia Oppositorum!

You might not have heard of the ancient Greek symbol called 'Ouroboros'. But you should, because it is one of the most fascinating symbol. The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.  Alchemical Symbol of Ouroboros Ouroboros is generally depicted as a Serpent or a Dragon biting its own tail. The first recorded history of such symbol is in Egypt at around 1600 BCE in the texts called    Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld. The symbol moved from Egyptians to Phoenicians and finally to Greeks. Where the symbol got its name OUROBOROS.  The symbol and the myth regarding the symbol is famous all over the world. In the Norse mythology its called Jormungandr. And in the Hindu mythology its related to the Kundalini Jagara...

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher of Ephesus. He is possibly the first Greek philosopher to explain the unity in all experience. And how change is the only constant in the universe. Heraclitus is also sometime known as the Philosopher of Riddles. For many people don't understand him. Heraclitus introduced the world with the word 'Logos', which means that 'all things are one in some sense'. Even the opposites are needed for the occurrence of action. Heraclitus explained that change is the core of all things. And within the changing framework lies the unity of opposites.  Heraclitus by unknown artist  Osho in the book Hidden Harmony praises Heraclitus as the greatest Buddha of the world. He says,  Heraclitus is one of the greatest Buddhas of the world. In western philosophy his name is not part of the mainstream. The mainstream consists of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore. Heraclitus is somethin...

Generally we meet two types of people. First are those who have constipated brains. And the second are those who shit well.  The constipated brains suffer from ignorance, intolerance, ego and 'I am right' ghost. Whereas, the shitty brain are free thinkers, artists, poets and those in the dimensions of creative communion.  May I remind you, in the universe, we find various kinds of shit. And mostly even the shitty kind suffer from indigestion of thoughts and beliefs. But there are those who poop very very well.  Arthur Eddington, a philosopher of Science, conceptualized the concept of arrow of time or the Eddington's Arrow. Where time is a one way phenomenon. Asymmetrical.  Arrow of Time by Vladimir Kush  The poop'ers are those who in the motion of time have created a holistic understanding of universe. By universe, I mean the whole of what they know. This defines what they poop. They ate the healthy stuff. They started to evolve. They might...
