Entropy is something, which we can consider as starting with us and we alone can handle it well. Entropy is systemic and extropy is what we all have to deal with throughout our lives. We must learn to enjoy it rather than hate it.
You hate it and entropy grows, entropy absorbs and thrives with your negative energy. It is within you so make entropy your dear friend and keep it in good humor. Life shall smile and you would feel; this friend actually makes you stand in good stead in your life and living choices.
This modern scientific interpretation helps us understanding ‘maya’, the randomizations of life and living and the desirable ‘leela’ positioning of the individual consciousness to enjoy the mechanisms of ‘maya’.

The Immortality of Causal Me
One big question, in the cosmic realm of ‘maya’ structures is that of ‘self’ and its mortality. Life after has always been a more potent enquiry than life itself. Of course, the ‘leela’ positioning of ‘self’ and its seemingly transcendental positioning cannot be complete without a talk on the mortality or immortality of the consciousness of the ‘self’.
As we have talked already and shall later dwell in details as how all wisdoms – spiritualism, philosophy and science, have beautiful similarity in their core ideas. This calls for all of us to have a holistic, assimilative and integrative perspective towards all wisdoms. We shall also talk of the question of the ‘immortality of self’ in this assimilative light.
Causality makes us see colors and ‘how’. Why not also ask ‘why’? Then why not add the ubiquitous ‘what for’? This inquisitive mind opens all possible doors of enquiry!
Somehow, looks like, it is the way we are ‘wired’ in our existential framework. We are programmed for ‘causality-itch’; seeing and accepting things and even non-things in ‘relationship’ with something makes us far more comfortable in understanding and accepting anything.
“If ‘This’ is, then ‘That’ is”, it makes easy acceptance. Otherwise, independent ‘This or That’ is too vaguely infinite to know; perhaps boring too!
We shall try here to test this “causality-factor”. However, let us first keep the wired-mind or cultural-consciousness away from the comfort of the linearity of space-dimensionality and enter the world of time-dimensionality. Just be open, generous and non-judgmental too for a while. Let the idea of ‘selective-causality of immortal-me’ sink in.
There may well be two possible ways to explain the immortality of self, of course with two different hypotheses of ‘causality’ that somehow emerge from what we all know of quantum realism in multiverse superposition (simultaneous existence in many dimensions).
‘Self’ or me-consciousness is a realism in different superpositioned multiverse. That can be from infinite aspects, if quantum realism of wave-particle dualism is accepted. We have been designed for basic survival needs and that is why we are wired to see realisms mostly in three-dimensional world of tangibility.
However, we all know, humanity knows of fourth dimension of time, apart from usual space dimensions. Then, we talk of eleven dimensions in more than one universe around us, well there on the threshold of probabilistic situationalism. Therefore, ideating about multi-dimensionality of probabilistic situationalism is tough but not impossible. Just try it.
Think about it? Let us start. The ‘self’ that was there when my grandparent died. Had he been alive and what this ‘self’ would have been in his mind is still there but in a dimension that is beyond spatial-tactile perception. Similarly, the ‘self’ that shall be when my grandchild shall be born and know me, though may not be present now but what it would be like if he/she were here, is another dimension also beyond spatial-tactile perception.
All this looks a tough imagination for us. We have the habit of accepting dimensions only in tactile space-dimensions. What we are attempting to imagine is not in this dimension but in time-dimension, which we have the habit of seeing and accepting in linearity.
Let us not consider time as one straight line. We see ourselves standing somewhere on the line, one end of it being our ‘past’ and another end as our ‘future’. Where we stand is our present. Consider time, for a change as something like atmosphere, muffling your being all around. Dimensions then become completely new idea. All time situations – present, past and future become mind entities around us, very much within our reach but we shall have to push our consciousness in those dimensions. Tough it is, yes!
There are many such possible dimensions, which are in the cosmic realms of probabilistic situationalisms. In all such dimensions, the ‘self’ exists, either in wave function or in particle function but never both, as quantum realism’s uncertainty principle tells us, “We can either know exactly ‘where’ or exactly ‘when’ a particle is but not both. Only its position or movement can be defined at one time, never both”. Break this down to the quantum level and we discover that things are very much different. We can imply where and know when, or vice-versa, but not both at a given moment.
As we have talked earlier, knowing and accepting this with the help of our ‘wired-brain’ is a huge obstacle as we have been poorly trained to accept only space-three-dimensionality of existence. We have the mechanism to understand and accept ‘position’ but not ‘superposition’. This is because we are used to see and accept ‘consciousnesses’ in some ‘causality’ of our restrictive space and time dimensions.
This superpositioning can be of two different propositions:
First situation is if the superpositioned ‘self’ is accepted to exist in concentric circles of different dimensions. Then there can be a common zone of concentricity where a ‘self’ exists independent of observer mortality. Therefore, even if this ‘self’ decays in any one dimension, it still exists in so many other dimensions.
Secondly, this superpositioning may exist in independent and not entangled multiverse like bubbles. Therefore, the singular ‘self’ is never ever there in actuality. So, when there is nothing ever, how can it ever decay?
In both eventualities, ‘self’ is ideationally immortal. Either the ‘self’ exists in one form and dimension or other, or, ‘self’ does not ever exist in singular actuality. In any case, this ‘self’ is immortal! If not in practical bodily sense of the term then at least metaphorically. This is a huge plus for symbolic strength and wellness.
One may say, ‘oh hell! What a stinking bullshit! Bonkers! We can say, all such realisms divorced from the tangibility and empirical existentialism are bonkers!
Well, accepted; where is the problem in it. However, wait a bit; where is the problem in not accepting it? A causality may not always exist in the space-dimensions only. After all, Einstein’s theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, Hawking’s M-theory, etc operate on a causality which is beyond tactile-causality! In philosophy and spiritualism too, we accept many such realisms as practically possible and true, which have no tangible-causality.
Let us bring back here the questions we started with, “Causality makes you see colors, how-why-what for”. Now ask, what is the color of life? It is in the rainbow of probabilistic situationalisms of the infinite inquisitiveness and the optionality of multi-dimensionalities of probabilistic answers! If we feel, we know the answers; we kill our ‘self’, for good. The ‘self’ must live and be immortal in the ‘colors of causality’ and its probabilistic multiverse.
Let the ‘self’ be immortal. We cannot be immortal in this three-dimensional world of tactile-causality but surely can be in the multiverse of time-dimension and other many probabilistic dimensionalities. Don't you love being immortal!

Singularity Of Purpose In All Wisdoms
Unraveling ‘maya’ structures to land in the perpetuity of a joyous consciousness of ‘leela’, becomes so much easy when we have a holistic, assimilative and integrative perspective towards all wisdoms. We land in cultural confusion and give in to the pains of conflict and confusion. As we accept the fact that all human wisdoms have common basis, we shall have the ease in accepting the holism of all wisdoms. Let us talk about it.
Both science and art seem to have common basis of primary functioning in terms of neural mechanism. Both start with human’s instinctive capacity to observe and imagine. Science then proceeds on to test every possibility of imagination with provable, objective and measurable terms, whereas art and culture moves to personalized and subjective expressions.
Both science and art created master works owing to their common initial techniques. The commonality is also from the fact that man and its environment were common for both science and art and the observable variables too were common for imaginative expressions. Naturally, this commonality could find grounds in other areas of expressions of both separate fields. This is what we talk about here.
Most of the current works on religion, philosophy, spiritualism and culture were created around 1000 BC to 1500 AD. This was the period when humanity had the abundance and resultant leisure to put in all major wisdom traditions. However, this is also the time when degeneration of genetic matters had also concretized, as it had started around 10,000 years back.
Now, the original version of the ancient wisdom, especially of religion and spiritualism may not be present today, as human instincts are designed such a way that in long use, any wisdom is degenerated. But, if we read the ancient wisdoms with a scientifically objective mind, compassionately making allowances to subjectivity of artistic expressions and time-tampering, we can easily see that core ideas of all wisdom, subjective or objective has a common ground.
What today we see as various forms of religion and philosophy very much looks like the ‘culturally run down’ versions of the original. In addition, we have to admit that the basis of ancient wisdom was empirical observations only and then, the knowledge base of objective, measurable and proven parameters were not available. That is why, there had to be some subjective leeway in conclusions drawn. An intelligent person should discount this when accepting the ancient wisdom through whatever resources available now.
Still, religion as well as philosophies observed common factors like, there is ‘one life’ as despite forms being different, the ‘soul’ in all creatures is one. In the eyes of ‘God’, everyone is equal; be it a human or a mouse. Life (soul) cannot be created nor can it die, it just changes forms; soul taking up new bodies like wearing a new clothe. The ultimate value and goodness of humanity is love, compassion and universality for all creatures as this is the basis of collective excellence. Etc.
All these facts are what science also accepts, though the difference is in the interpretation of what is ‘God’ and ‘soul’ and their functional relationship with universe. What religion and philosophies talk of ‘higher value’ for humanity, science accepts as ‘instinctive intelligence’.
Religion and philosophies speak of man’s goodness in being in complete and objective control of its senses and instincts to be in the light of ‘God’. Science also speaks of the same ‘control’ requirement to understand the instincts and be the master of its intuitive urges (metaphor of a chariot with six horses).
All wisdom accepts that humanity is better off only when individual curbs its instincts (instant self-gratification) in favor of society and society in favor of nation and nations in favor of world. Wisdom in all its forms speaks of importance of collective over individual self-gratification instincts. The contemporary culture of liberalism and market economy makes individual and its instinctive instant self-gratification bizarreness the center of all values. This is against the core values of science as well as religion and philosophy.
Still, it is modern man’s popular creed and it has made religion and philosophies subservient to his self-gratification zeal. That is why, pure and core religious percepts have been replaced by corrupt ritualism
