The ubiquitous syndrome of misplaced hubris

It is not naive to say that there is the strong syndrome of misplaced hubris when today we meet people and speak of any given subject on social fabric...the wrinkles of the fabric is getting further crushed instead of smoothing… the contents of the subject is mostly partisan coloured with the tinge of unknown, stoked by delusions of assiduously weaved fears of the facts and fictions.. ‘we the people’, as like past eons, is going through the same cycle of getting mesmerized by a handful few, with ‘the information’, toggling on our individual weak areas of the instinct for survival….  Regurgitating the past, but with a difference... the retrospect and the present  analyses  with a flair of truth, the not so truth and the concoction of the ‘hubris truth’- which may not be the fact.. new dimensions are emerging in all diaspora of ‘the information’.  

Are we the only civilized species - as we who could leave the Earth’s boundary and went  into the space, of-course with our understanding of where the space’s boundary starts from the Earth’s  - in the universe.. again it will be a misplaced hubris to say so considering the sheer number of billion of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy – our sun is but only one of the yellow dwarf stars formed some 4.6 billion years ago , and there are but a billion more galaxies, still counting and getting added, albeit not to forget those that are beyond the horizon of the observable universe of 13.8 billion years old... in this wholeness we are but that ‘pale blue dot’ of Carl Sagan, and are made up of the same star stuff, our uniqueness of simple yet profound..

Do we need to tear the social fabric due to misplaced hubris of but for the constricted vision... 

'We the People' are as vast as the universe to say the least, let’s be so…

Stories, Myth, Belief, Mystery and Manifestations

We love stories. We see, hear, create, concoct, derive and deliver stories. The history of homo sapiens is story based, eons on eons. Stories are used to direct and define borders of our thought, accessible and the non-accessible domains and building phenomenon of and from them. Stories become myth, your and my. On myth then we further weave our paradigm and build a thought which becomes our belief. Thus the story, fact or otherwise, gradually get a life of its own, with narration after narration. In the process of the repetitive narration, we imbibe a sense of authenticity to the story and as a consequence many a mystery and manifestations are imbued. For the powerful and supernatural, we instill the concept of impeccable birth, to validate the awe. This we can come across all the religions and followings of ideas and philosophies of the Gods and their Messengers. The theism (believing in god or deities) – poly (many gods), mono (one god), panentheism (the universe is part of god), atheism (no god), henotheism (many gods , but only one is supreme) and a host of other individual or collective beliefs, but is always ingrained in stories made to convince self and the others. Stories build the varied nuances of emotions. When others are convinced, we get sects, religions and communities - religious or otherwise.  

Stories have the ability to transcend to individual and percolate to the conscience of one and many, and drive them, righteous or otherwise (which perspective lies with the observer).

Just wondering what is the story of the story. Someday, a tale to tell ...

Prioritising, Duping and Self Centeredness – the Facts and Paradox

It is but very awkward when we face words or situations depicting deeds, where in we find as like gods, we homo sapiens are deft in prioritising, duping and are deeply self-centred … tat tvam asi ... No, it is not confined to the negative connotations alone as we often ascribe to such deeds or words, but these qualities, for the situation, are the deeds of the moments, for a bargain to tranquility… Actions of humans and gods are always on the periphery of self gratification- inward or outward…it is never for the other… if ever so, still on a bargain of getting a percolated self benefit… The priorities often are relevant to the circumstances prevailing at that point of time… Our gods like us have always played upon circumstances and all entity being the Brahmn we are in a singularity (all made of the same star stuff) are but in a suspended animated condition to address our near future unknown needs..   

The inward search of consciousness often leads to revelations that can only be absorbed by the self.. it has no means of transferring or transmitting .. the solace of being contended is purely only by individual self and attainable only when in harmony with the self .. to attain this , ironically one need to prioritize, dupe and be self centered .. the paradox of enlightenment…
