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

more calamitous than wildest of animals as we have consciousness, which is scammed. That is why for peace, stability, sanity and order, human world needs to De-Scam this consciousness through a knowledge training structure and that too for long years. This has never happened and shall never ever happen!

Humanity has not accepted that we are not born humans but probably can grow and evolve in time, if handed a well planned and executed knowledge imparting regime of long years. Human is only a potential and till it is not attained, a human is the most scandalous and catastrophic animal of the universe. The potential does not come with age and status. It is not an auto-attainment. It is attained only through a long and persevered mind training process, which a systematic and institutional knowledge mechanism can put in. Majority of humans however refuse to accept the true and real knowledge and blissfully waste 25 years of life, learning livelihood skills. What a waste! Even an animal wastes not a second in ensuring its livelihood!

This is another scam, which humanity has flourished since ages as most humans, even in 21st century age of science, stupidly believe, they are creations of superior will, born as something specially endowed and already in possession of all knowledge to happily live a life of joy and prosperity. And, what they need is only the skills to amass wealth and live in best of comfort and consumption.

That is why 99.9 percent of humans in all ages remain a variegated mix of animal and human. Only a handful has the true and right eligibility to qualify as humans. Naturally, human world in all times, including the contemporary age, has been worse than that of animals with ills and troubles, the animal world cannot even imagine in wildest of their dreams…

It is better to challenge ourselves. Ideal it is to own the questions. The un-quenching energy of incessant skepticism is embedded in our design. We only need to be aware enough to accept the inevitability and indispensability of questions and suitably change, to correct ourselves, as it feels disastrous, when others point out mistakes in us. Moreover, others may not have the perseverance to keep telling you that you need to change. And; the change is not a small one; rather a complete change which has the scary potential of unsettling people.

There is a saying which goes like, ‘The questions you possess is half your destiny, the answers you accept remains the other half but, both halves of destinies are poorly linked by a narrow strip of pathway or a bridge called innocence of consciousness, across an ocean of dualism.’ What is this bridge about and what this dualism stands for?

There always have been questions, which help us extend our domain of wisdom. Number of questions we accept, more we open ourselves to newer probabilities of realism. We however, usually, happily restrict ourselves to fewer questions as questions unsettle our comfort. It is natural that people with fewer questions shall have wherewithal of lesser answers. Some may have questions but not the bridge between answers and their questions. Rather, most people burn their own bridges and isolate their consciousness from Reality.

Ignorance is bliss and knowledge surely opens floodgates of painful realities. Knowledge has the instinctive build up to unsettle us and that is why most of us run away from true knowledge of Reality and happily live the whole life in perceived beliefs. But then; bliss of ignorance and part knowledge come with five calamitous elements of – Fear, Anger, Attitude, Denial and Deception. They are generic and embedded to bliss of ignorance. Even early humans 3000 years back could decipher this Reality. Modern humans in 21st century can’t. These five elements keep vast majority of masses in Scammed Consciousness. They shall never accept a question, which threatens to unsettle their world of perceptional realities. Naturally, no answer of sanity can ever be a probability.

It is not tough to understand and accept that the Scam of mind Consciousness never allows Sanity, Poise and Peace. The scammed consciousness shall then infest and confront others with fear, anger, attitude, denial and deception. The cyclicality of it shall keep accentuating till it makes the whole world a theatre of mega scam, which it already is!

Most people restrict and even constrict knowledge by closing their minds to many questions and ideas, which they feel uncomfortable with. Our knowledge is the base material from which most of our lasting joys, poise, wellness and excellence are created. This happens because; only true knowledge can free us from the calamitous effects of fear, anger, attitude, denial and deception. This knowledge is a product of a magnanimous mind consciousness, which allows and lets even uncomfortable and unfriendly ideas and questions sink in. What sinks in; stays, and knowledge is a function of this memory of fruitfully processed experiences, which stays after deep sinking in.

Knowledge, like all realities, takes dialectical path. It starts with ignorance is bliss situation. Pour in first few streams of knowledge and the antithesis is created. The antithesis breeds in unsettling emotions as it exposes a person to new realities, which he or she has not been used to. Most people drop out of the journey at this stage of antithesis. Those who are aware, they understand that antithesis is also ephemeral and continue their journey with more knowledge. This brings them to the stage of synthesis, where fear, insecurity, unease, anger, attitude begin to melt away. As the journey is continued and dialectical processes are repeated many times, one reaches to the stage where the real and true fruition of finality is attained.

At the very outset, when we are talking about the scam of consciousness and the magic knowledge does on not only de-scamming us but also arriving at the greatest experience of life-living, it is ideal that we understand it clearly with an example; probably the most powerful example for all of us.

Let us talk about it…

The best and singular example is about Death – Mortality. Death is one single objective and inevitable Reality, which 99.9 percent people fear and stand in perpetual denial of, all throughout their lives. Most people are subconsciously trained into this denial of Reality of Death since childhood as this denial is the transcendental and primeval hypocrisy of humanity since millions of years. The denial and the resultant hypocritical deception of inevitability of the Reality of Death is not even a subconscious cultural training but very much an unconscious wired behavior now. This is scam. This scam is probably the mother of all infinite scams, which humanity has engineered and managed well since millions of years.

We need to understand this scam – the Death, the Fear and the Denial…

Before we begin to talk further, we need to accept that Fear and consequential denial/deception is scammed cognition of any Reality. When we lack knowledge or when we do have only ‘part’ knowledge of a Reality, the subconscious mind promptly engenders the element of fear. It is somehow an auto-process of body-brain mechanism. The subconscious design of Fight and Flight is embedded in our brain states this way for our survival optimization. It is the animal within us. But we are not only animals; we are part human too. Fear may optimize survival but then, it shall load consciousness with scammed cognitions; unleashing anger, attitude, denial and deception…

Let us elaborate it. We all know we are all going to die someday. Not only this; we all also know that death can come any moment and in any form. This inevitability and unpredictability installs fear in 99.9 percent of us. Fear is installed to deny it and stand in deception of the inevitability and ever-present probability of Death. It is the way humanity has survived since ages. The denial and deception is primary hypocrisy of humanity. Only a handful has the courage and will to go beyond denial and unravel full knowledge about Death and mortality. When we do it, a novel experience comes up; subsiding fear and deception. When we continue with the knowledge, fear almost vanishes and is replaced by a beautifully meaningful experience and feeling. Let us talk about it.

Sit in perfect peace and poise. Begin to think that you are now alive and know so much about so many things. You have your possessions and attainments. These two elements fill you up with feelings of importance, responsibility, pride, joy, et al. Think about how nothing of these was there before your birth. Not a day, month, year, decade, century, millennium but; more than 14 billion years happened and you experienced nothing about them. What you got to know about them after you were born and attained consciousness, is just a frame of picture accommodating key information about these 14 billion years. You do it and a myriad of emotions and feelings traverse through your mind consciousness. Fear, however is probably either missing, or is just a passing feeling. Why?

Now, next, in the same poised and peaceful mode, start thinking about how not a day, month, year, decade, century, millennium, 14 billion years but; infinite time shall come and you shall not witness and experience anything as You Are Dead. Try to internalize this future nothingness, after your death, deep within your consciousness. Try this internalization with intensity that nothingness shall be not for days, months, years, decades, centuries, millenniums, few billion years; but for infinite time. Within minutes, fear, even uncontrolled panic shall engulf you and you shall stand up and flee away from the thought. If this does not happen; in most probability, you have not internalized this in right earnest and intensity. It is also human design. A Scam, which deceives internalization of reality!

Let us understand. There are two parts of the nothingness (absolute vacuum) associated with our existence and its consciousness. First nothingness; equally massive and beyond possible perception of our brains (consciousness plexus), is one, which precedes our birth. This nothingness usually does not instill fear in us. Or, may be the fear is there but either very manageable or mixed with amazement and other cognate emotions. It is only the second nothingness, succeeding our death, which triggers off massive fear and flight/denial action. It is wired in our design and mechanism.

Now, the next step is continuation on the same path. Do the exercise again. Sincere and honest internalization of nothingness is very crucial. We shall elaborate it later. It may take a few times before you shall realize that the fear has begun to diminish and there is a slow but definitively growing emotion of grief replacing fear. This grief shall initially be mixed with fear and cognate elements but as you keep repeating the experiment with more and more peace and poise, the grief shall become pure and shall be so intense that it shall create a Big Void inside you.

This vacuum however shall not unsettle you. The grief must become pure and over-encompassing in your consciousness. The purity of grief must also be sincerely internalized. It is the first stage of initiation of synthesis. The antithesis is fear, which melts as synthesis arrives.

It has to be understood as why there is this insistence on internalization of the nothingness, vacuum or void. Internalization of nothingness is not a new reality, which we are talking in 21st century. This idea was originated around 3000 years back and some genius of our early forefathers practiced it to perfection. This is also some reality, which is cross-cultural and therefore proves that it is very well a faculty and facility embedded in consciousness itself.

When we internalize nothingness, we actually do the primary step of unlearning the scam of our consciousness, which we have infested our sub-consciousness and unconsciousness with since childhood. This nothingness is in its holism means a process of attaining perfect and complete freedom from the scams. Most arrived and truly empowered people have in past said that human life is always in a cage, chains or
