We Are A Scam - Santosh Jha (books to read in a lifetime txt) 📗

questions have been the very basis of all spiritualism as spiritualism simply means deciphering the ‘Causality of Connect’ of individual with all entities in internal as well as in external milieus, extending to the universe itself. Somehow, the first part of the transcendental question as ‘Who Am I’ has been handled since long by spiritualism, philosophy and now modern science has taken over. The lateral and parallel scam is that vast majority of humans are still living with a knowledge milieu, which is centuries old and never show any willingness to update their knowledge to the 21st century facts, as made available by pure science. This is scam…

However, the second part of the question; what is the causality or context of connect of an individual with all external milieus has not been duly and appropriately handled either by spiritualism, philosophy or science. A singular, holistic and objective answer to the second part of question is a must for sustenance of personal sanity, system, order, purpose and poise. The knowledge of milieus and an individual’s context of causalities with these milieus in holism is the true antidote of the scam.

This however is another domain of impossibility. This impossibility stems out of the very contextual and relativist nature of Reality. As different people shall accept different contexts and relative positioning of ‘I’ or self vis-à-vis the milieus, there can never be a singular idea or idealism about human context of connect with external world. Moreover, as milieus always present powerful causalities to all humans living at a time and space, the ever evolving and changing milieus and their emergent trends shall keep changing individual’s context of connect with milieus and the universe. As average individual has ingrained propensity for aping or going with the mainstream, there shall always be a majority-trend that shall define, shape and design collective consciousness and cognition, which majority of individuals shall love to follow and accept.

Therefore, there is always a populist answer of what the purpose of life is and what individuals should accept as core principle of the ‘connect’ and interaction with external world. As is the rule of the Reality; there shall automatically be an antithesis of the popular view. Any alternative answer or interpretation, beyond the two, may exist and stay but shall always be a minority viewpoint and shall trade behind the populist perceptions and its inverse.

Globally, what we are seeing in contemporary world is this situation where majority of people are almost blindly in linearity and sync with populist majority worldview of accepting ‘Evolving and Empowerment’ as continuous growth of consumption and comfort. This core populist idea may have many shades and varieties, having a mix of consumption and even a rebel against it but actually, every shade shall essentially be a manifestation of the populism of consumption and comfort. There are alternative viewpoints and perspectives of human connect and context with external milieus but they are very much a minority viewpoint, only few individuals follow in their personal life-living. The scam is rooted in consciousness and it is appropriated and accentuated by the nexus of politics and commerce. The scam gets universalized…

The most critical question that humanity confronts today is, do we have a possibility of accepting that the contemporary populist viewpoint, which majority of over 7.5 billion people are accepting and following, may not be the right or appropriate one and secondly, can we have a singular alternative perspective that can be accepted as the holistic, objective and right realism for human connect with its milieus? We try to test the possibility of such a probability here.

Any model of personal sanity must take into account the bare basics of our body-brain mechanism and process as it is where Reality is created, plays out and ends, for all practical purposes. We now know a lot about how our brain works and that alone determines what possibly could be a model of personal sanity. We can say with reasonable amount of conviction that brain works on the basis of association. This process of association starts in the womb itself. Scientific researches tell us that even while still in mother’s womb, the baby begins to associate with the sound of the mother and other things in the ambient milieus. It is because brain is designed for optimizing survival and therefore, even before the child could begin his or her journey out of the mother’s womb, the brain begins to associate all information from the external milieus. The brain of the new born continues to do so up to the age of eight or ten.

This is the auto-mode learning process of brain states, especially the subconscious mind, which constitutes major portion of our early learning. The subconscious brain state ensures suitability and optimization of a child in his or her milieus by this innate, wired and automatic process of association, thus creating a pattern and plexus of belief-system, perspectives and worldviews as the child grows and attains adulthood. These belief-systems, which association processes create as auto-mode learning, engender a plexus of identities for an adult to which a person adheres to as dearly as for his or her life. These identities and belief-systems become his or her personality and subjective Reality. This is scam and it becomes a trap for him or her.

This must be understood. Every year, around 50-60 million babies are born all across the globe. Their core body-mind mechanism and processes are almost the same. It is therefore, a natural assumption that all these 50-60 million babies must grow up with singular belief and perception of who he or she is and what is the purpose of their lives. They should have common singular acceptances about personal, familial, societal and cultural ideas. They should have singular behavioral and attitudinal expressions, etc. However, we all know, it does not happen. They grow as different personalities with different beliefs, perceptions, behavior patterns and attitudes. This is the scam and this scam has its calamitous causalities on humanity!

And, we can clearly see, why this scam happens. This happens because; every child grows up in different internal and external milieus. Science confirms; human mind is only 15 percent genetic and 85 percent milieus. This is scam and it is easy to see why this scam happens. It happens because milieus – internal and external are major impact on the evolving of a human being from childhood and as the milieus are not common and singular, the consciousnesses and their cognition are never singular and common. The scam is our design.

Most troubles begin from here. The Reality is singular and innately; all consciousnesses and their cognition should have been common and singular. This does not happen and we have known why. Naturally, this dualism breeds a scam, which is the seed stuff of all troubles of humanity. This identity and association dualism breeds loads of hypocrisies and in long run traps a person in deep abyss of stupidity and insanity that the world is so full of. This itself is the mother of all scams. However, no less worse is the scam that only a handful of men and women actually have the knowledge and acceptance of this scam and its embedded troubles for self as well as the larger humanity. If we understand the design, we unravel the scam and as we decipher the scam, we have the wherewithal to de-scam our life-living.

We need to see and understand that human crisis and the resultant crisis of the human world emanate out of this ‘stupidity’ of the brain mechanism and process, which Mr. Brain thinks is the most ‘intelligent’ thing to do! Why Mr. Brain does not admit it as the calamitous scam is what we never feel the need of understanding. Why? This dualism needs to be unraveled and understood to clearly understand how the solution of everything is in our brains itself as it is our brain mechanism and process, which are behind most of our troubles and that of the humanity. Consciousness is largely brain mechanism.

Science clearly says that humans are not, by nature a logical, reasoned and receptive creature. Humans are instead totally reactive, instinctive and intuitive being. Human behavior is determined entirely by the interaction – competition, cooperation, coordination, between his various instincts, which are genetically determined neural mechanisms provided by evolution for behavioral guidance. Therefore, an adult man or woman is wired to grow as an instinctive being, if he or she is not trained for alternative intelligence, required for sanity in societal living.

It is so because evolution’s ‘intelligence’ is not aimed at making a man or a woman as a good, compassionate and righteous person. Evolution didn’t come up with these packages. Evolution was designed for singular intelligence of survival. That is why our brain is designed and genetically wired for this ‘intelligence’ of association-building and identity-generation. This identity generation ensures success of a human child in the milieus he or she has to live because human body-mind make up has evolved as gregarious creatures. That is why aping, association building with prevalent and dominant identities and belief-systems of the milieus and demography has been embedded in human brain mechanism and processes as ‘Primary Intelligence’ for survival optimization.

However, this intelligence of our brain becomes the single largest causality of most of human troubles, be it at personal levels or at societal levels. This wired ‘intelligence’ is a scam because, it is involved with and caters to only a part of the Reality and then mixes up loads of fictional and manufactured perceptional information into it to present them as one’s personal Reality. All humans are one identity as we all are created the same. However, the world we all live is huge and varied in physical milieus. The cultural traditions and practices are mostly milieu-specific. Therefore, different milieus create different subjective realities for different men and women. This is a scammed reality, not a true and real one. The Reality is that all humans are single identity and should have singular perception and belief of Reality. Knowledge is singular as Reality is singular. Very naturally, more than single knowledge and reality is scammed cognition.

This evolutionary intelligence, which engendered the scam at the first place, was good for very early lives of our ancestors thousands of years back. Modern human dates back to 4 million years and science confirms that even the modern human has the original genetic design dating back to the suitability of that time period. However, as humanity evolved, history is testimony to the fact that this instinctive design of humanity brewed all troubles for human world.

This design for associations installed in human behavior and action, a subconscious rigidity and dogmatism for ‘Identities’. This resulted into creation of tribes and reactionary tribal loyalty for the identities. Therefore, human history has been a sordid and bloody saga of wars between different tribes and identities. Modern scientists warn that this tribal instinct is still very much alive and kicking in modern human and human world. In fact, the new millennium of 21st century has witnessed the revival of identity instincts and contemporary global crisis has this very powerful degenerative and regressive reversal to ‘ethnicity’ conflict and cooperation, pushing the world into another crisis. The two calamitous world wars of humanity also had their seeds in this tribal instinct of Identity.

This identity instinct and ethnicity-loyalty is singular major insanity-point for average man and woman at individual and personal level too. Humanity has come a long way since 4 million years back, when our tribal instincts ruled us and made life-living succeed. This age-old instinct is now regressive and degenerative. This primary ‘intelligence’, which essentially is the mother of all scams of humanity, of 4 million years back is singular calamitous ‘stupidity’ in 21st century world. Our regressive and degenerative tribal instinct of rigidity and dogmatism of ‘Identity’ is surely leading us to extinction. This is evident and overly manifested everywhere – society, culture, politics, economy, markets and even family relationships. This is the biggest ‘unlearning’ challenge for humanity. We all
