Philosophical Imaginatrix: The Magical Tarot Cards

Image
Tarot are mysterious cards. The cards of magic and divination. There is no known origin of the 'Tarot' cards. The tarot consists of 78 cards, which is divided into 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana. The 56 minor arcana are divided into 4 suits. The 4 suits in the modern cards also come from the 'Tarot' system. Simply put, the modern cards are derived from the 'tarot' cards. The 'Tarot' cards represent the human anatomy, the solar system and the structure of universe. The 'Tarot' cards are believed to have inherited the mysteries of 'Thoth' and 'The Book of Enoch'. One must look at the cards and observe these cards with the thought of mystery and magic in mind. That way the cards work. The cards consist of the way to magic and mystery. According to Antoine Court de Gébelin, the word 'Tarot' is derived from Egyptian word Tar and Ro. Tar means the royal and rod means the road. The word tarot hence means the royal...

Philosophical Imaginatrix: The Astonishing Theory of Morphic Resonance

Image
In 1981, Rupert Sheldrake wrote a controversial book called 'A New Science of Life', where he introduced a concept called Morphic Resonance. The word 'Morphic' comes from the Greek word 'Morphe' which means 'Form'. Morphic Resonance according to Sheldrake is the process by which organisms inherit a memory from previous systems. The organism self organizes itself based on the data from the past. A habit of the nature which connects dots of the evolution. The Morphic Fields are responsible for organizing the forms, patterns and structure of the systems. These systems might be amino acids and proteins or plants and animals or crystals and minerals or brains and minds. A field that makes our future possible because of the past. This is similar to the Jungian concept of 'Archetype and the Collective Unconscious'.  Our memories will be present and stored in the biology of our future generations. We inherit biological complexity of our ance...

This mutating merger of the ultimate 'chaos' called LOVE !

Image
As the winter winds caught the howl of his soul in the lotus curves of this windy fire, intuitively whispering the mysteries of your symbol. This twisting fabric of space turned into the boat of time. We are time travellers, we wrap moments into the motions of our thoughts into sophisticated pieces of eternal simplicity, beneath the elliptically formed bones of your silhouette-- that which is mirrored into the fierce friction of rippling echo of your locations electrically connecting the person in my soul, my folded sea of lucid dreams. MY BEING-- wrapped inside a paper plane called your heart. Lets fly. Our ship is a crystalline wings of the long lost dragon, that dragon whose eyes would look at a constellation of your choice, and find the frequency to fly you home. Your solar plexus spinning faster than this galaxy, galaxies- where your paths cross the water of stillness, a mountain of nothingness, into the blueness of a spiraling symphony of your naval synchron...

Philosophical Imaginatrix: Transcendental Nepal'ness

Image
Life.  Nepal is a country of nomadic presence. The very essence is lucid. Psychedelic. The atmosphere is exuberant with euphoria and bliss. It's a country of balance between the polarity of duality. From a gesture of greeting with 'Namaste/Namaskar' to a festival of putting 'Henna in Hands' to the "Colors of Holi' to the 'Songs of Deusi/Bhailo'. The 'Colorful Tika of Dashain' to the 'Nude Sadhus of Shivaratri'. From a lunar vantage point to the solar flare. Every week is blessed with the understanding of meditation, gratitude, blissfulness, observation, awareness and liberation. It's almost like fading into the deepness of universe. A Buddha perfectly fits in a Vishnu temple. A Mohammad or Jesus is always welcome. Dance your dance, have your way. Sing your song. हसिबा खेलिबा धरिबा ध्यानम् .    To be blissful, to be playful, to be meditative. That's what living the Nepal'ness means to me. It doesn't mea...

Philosophical Imaginatrix: The Prose of Existentialism

Image
Existence precedes and commands Essence.                                                                 - Jean Paul Sartre  Existentialism is a collection of abstract theories which looks into the human lives and concentrates on the realities of individual choice, freedom and existence. We cannot absolutely define existentialism. Existentialism puts forth the concept that we must define the meaning to our own life and we must make decisions based on our understanding despite the fact that we live in universe, which is completely irrational. Existentialism destroys the myths that are fed to us. Existentialism is popular because it is based on freedom. An absolute freedom, where one is the only one responsible for himself. No one else can make decisions for him.  The existential philosophy explains th...

Philosophical Imaginatrix: The Mingling of Chaos and Cosmos

Image
Life is a constant chaos. And in that chaos, life is synchronized with beautiful patterns. Egyptian and Greeks believed that the primordial gods were the children of chaos. The Norse myths talk about Ginnungagap, which means a yawning abyss, from which cold and warmth were born. Niflheim, the cold one and Muspelheim, the warm one. Bible talks about the void. Today surely we cannot understand the deeper concept of chaos. Because we take it as something with negative meaning. Something in panic. But Chaos is a deep space of possibilities, probabilities and peace. Its a little hard to grasp. Its a bit trippy.  Ovid in Metamorphosis explains Chaos in a very beautiful poem. Which reads- Before land, sea, sky, before all that: nature was chaos; our cosmos, all chaos; all the same enormity, all in one; there was no form, no moon to walk the night, no earth to dance with air, no ocean touching shimmeringly the fractal reefs and particulate sand; life and lif...
