Intelligence

Every thing is intelligence, nothing ever existed.

Scientific knowledge explains 2 things, the living and the non-living.

Living things have certain characters and are supposed to be different from the non-living.
Living things are characterized by their ability to recognize themselves. In perfect words they have the awareness of their own existence, where as the non-living (supposedly) don’t have this ability.

Now, try to understand this logic.

CASE 1:
Imagine yourself ship-wrecked and in a lonely island where there is nobody to recognize you. You are non-existent to the whole world (in fact the whole world is blissfully ignorant of your existence). But, you are aware of your existence. Here you have lost the character of existence in the view point of the world, however, your existence is there (thanks to your very own awareness). If you lose your awareness of your existence, you practically become non-existent.

CASE: 2
Imagine you are in a city and have lost your mind (some demylenating illness or in some kind of coma). In your very own opinion you don’t exist (in fact you don’t have an opinion). But, your existence will be there in the view-point of the world (because you are in a city and there are people who recognize your existence).

In the above mentioned cases there is one point in common that awareness is present in both and its existence is dependant on the ability to recognize (that awareness can be either your very own self’s or that of other intelligent beings’).

So, how can a non-living thing exist.(it is supposed to have no awareness of itself). The answer is quite evident. Their existence is dependent on the awareness or recognizing ability of intelligent beings.

How much is it dependent on intelligence?
Its dependence is complete (to the very fundamental and basic existence of intelligence). We shall see. Imagine if nobody sees a particular stone in a forest. Literally nobody sees it. Can we( or for that matter anyone) say the stone ever existed. We cant say because we did not perceive it (and the stone cant say that it exists because it lacks awareness) for all practical and theoretical purposes the stone does not exist.

This is a tricky situation, a doubt in your mind tells you “fine, why can’t the stone exist even if nobody observes it?” “do you mean to say that if I don’t observe the sun ( or for that matter if nobody observes the sun) will it cease to exist?”

The answer is very simple “yes”. If nobody ever witnessed the sun there will never be a question like the one you asked above. So, the question doesn’t properly satisfy the condition. If we are able to ask “whether this particular thing (here the stone in forest) existed or not.”, the very question ( because the question is nothing but intelligence/awareness) recognizes the existence of the stone (in question) thereby it does not satisfying the condition “if nobody ever observes………”. This means any doubts, questions, inquiries, analysis etc about the existence (of the stone) give the stone the status of existence.

Now we will try to understand it in a different example. Nobody ever witnessed a thing called “qowpgjffo”. (Before this second, I, myself don’t know anything about “qowpgjffo”). Since no one ever witnessed it or has at least a faint hint of its existence it does not exist.(but it comes in to existence the very second I gave this example “Nobody ever …….“qowpgjffo”, here my intelligence gives way to its existence).

So, non-living things exist nowhere but in the intelligence. Intelligence defines non-living things. In fact there is never any non-living thing , there is only intelligence in the form of living and non-living things. It is the intelligence that defines the living and non-living things as separate and distinct.

Scientifically speaking, imagine a glass of water in front of you. The water in the glass is not you, it is non-living “thing”. Now if you drink water, it becomes you ( a living thing). Water in a space enclosed by a tumbler is non living but when it is enclosed in a space surrounded by a living thing(here the stomach), it becomes living! Oh my gosh! Where is the separation between living and non living things.

Cell is 90% water and 9% salts, minerals, etc, rest contains proteins, fat globules, ions, energy, oxygen, CO2, etc. and we humans could not understand what is a living thing until now.

DNA contains base pairs ACGT, which are made up of ions of hydrongen , nitrogen , and oxygen. DNA is living thing and hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen are non-living. It is not found at what point these non-living ions become living things.

People say the brain is the centre for intelligence. But it is made up of only atoms and subatomic particles when studied deeply. Nullifying the differences between living and nonliving things.

Interesting isn’t it? Non living things oriented in particular manner in space and time become intelligent and they define unintelligent non-living things and give them the status of existence. But to get oriented in a particular way, you need to have organized effort which is nothing but intelligence. Intelligence and matter are inseparable So intelligence it self which is inseparable from matter when gets organized in one way it is called living and if organizes in other way it is called non-living..

This explains intelligence (living thing) is inseparable from matter (non-living things) and defines the existence of everything .

What is illusion?

Illusion is false interpretation of stimulus.

In lay man terms it is imagination, unreal or virtual etc.

For illusion to be present, there should be one perceiver or the subject and stimulus. The perceiver if interprets the stimulus in wrong way (in any other way than it is intended), illusion comes in to picture.

In another words the statement “everything is illusion” is erroneous. Here everything should include literally “everything” but it fails to include the subject or the perceiver of illusion and the stimulus.

In Indian philosophy this is explained in the terms of “Rajjosarpanyayam”. A person see a rope in darkness and mistakes it for a snake. What the mind believes to be true it accepts to be true and reacts accordingly. He gets sweating, palpitation , tremors etc, which are signs of anxiety. Here rajjo means rope and sarpam is snake (I know you know this). Here the stimulus is the sight of rope which is real and the perception of it as a snake is illusion (which is imaginary). My point is for illusion to be present, there should be a perceiver (the person who saw the rope) and the rope (which is stimulus here).

The existence of illusion is dependant on stimulus and perceiver. Like wise, the existence of stimulus is dependant on the perceiver (the very fact that different people have different thresholds for stimuli explains this). Therefore, the perceiver is the centre point of everything. He/she/it is not an illusion or stimulus.

The perceiver defines illusion and limits it. Illusion doesn’t comprise the subject.

illusion

this is my first blog and let me tell you something about me
Rules that bind everything in life make me feel tied down and I kinda have aversion for them.

this aversion made me think in a way different from routine and i came up with some conclusions which i want to share now

1. There is no illusion, illusion itself is an illusion so it nullifies itself and becomes nonexistent.
2. Everything is intelligence, nothing else ever existed.
3. Nothing beyond the perceiver, the so called subject, is ever there.
4. Existence is intelligence itself - no exsistence possible without intelligence.


These statements have sound logical and analytical background from various fields of life which can be discussed.
