Some thoughts

  • Internet is THE mode for gaian consciousness. It's mind-boggling to even contemplate the significance of this medium.
  • Not to sound cliched, but, capitalism and consumerism will take its natural death.
  • Go beyond being a 'leftist', 'rightist', 'centrist' etc etc. All are plain words in this world of semantic humdrum. Dont limit thoughts to words.
  • The perception of mundane life's insignificance reaches such heights that it's a total wonder i am able to keep coming back at it with such seemingly un-apparent doggedness. Fuck it's scary.
  • Slowly, i am realising Science and spirituality are more synonymous than it is percieved to be.
  • Was having a conversation with a christian fundamentalist some months back. He asked me " Where do you want to be when you die?". I replied "Nowhere in particular. Since the mind is non-local". He started barraging me with such inane reprovals like - you heretic, how can you lose your identity etc etc. It got me thinking, why are we so bothered about identity? Is it inner harmony? No dammit...it's just pure delusion. The 'will' never ceases to stop controlling our life.
  • This is not pseudo shamanistic bullshit :D

the internet... whew... if only my eyes were infallible and i had a time machine, i could start thinking up a plan to contrive a comprehension!!!

* Not to sound cliched, but, capitalism and consumerism will take its natural death.

Hmmm... Will think about that... but i'm not really fond of consumerism myself, except when it comes to the things that i really want..

And what you said about leftist, centrist and rightist can be compared to many of those stupid clan mentalities and the surfeit of bigotry in this imperfect world!

* The perception of mundane life's insignificance reaches such heights that it's a total wonder i am able to keep coming back at it with such seemingly un-apparent doggedness. Fuck it's scary.

The Insignificance of it all?? heheh.. deja vu? Maybe.

* Slowly, i am realising Science and spirituality are more synonymous than it is percieved to be.

Hmmmm... i don't think i'm in a position to comment on that as I do without spirituality..

Delusion... yes.. the world's so full of it!

I visited your blog after a really long time, because in a corner of my memory(not the place it shuold be) the URL still lingered. Bugged, I typed it out on the address bar and lo! just *the* read.
Fact put in an interesting bit of wording...
Thank god, some humans like you do speak of non-obvious things*
