In ancient western philosophy, they say, ‘Don’t Be, You Shall Be’. This actually is the innocent and simple exhortation to attain nothingness. It is in this infinitely endless process of ‘Being’, through which an average person enslaves himself or herself. That is why it is a call not to fall in trap of ‘Being-ness’. Do not be and you shall automatically be what you have to be.
And, what you have to be?
Most people behave and act in a way, which at one point of time is available for decision to their minds, which is an autonomous and random mix of their nature and nurture. Science says, causalities create cognitions in us and not the vice versa. This means, we may think and feel that we are acting and behaving in a way, which we have decided for ourselves but actually, we do not choose stimuli (causality) from the milieus, rather the milieus decide them for us. This makes lots of difference in what we feel as ‘I Do’ and what actually ‘I Is Made To Do’. This is scam.
This is what we have talked about as a person being a slave of the causalities; he or she thinks they have chosen but not. One needs well galvanized mind training to be largely independent of both these elements of nature and nurture, which actually enslave people. This empowerment then enables a person to have a facility where neither instinct, nor the cultural elements decide his or her long-term conscious behavior and acts. Rather, in one’s deep and evolved higher consciousness, the empowered self decides, what should ideally present the decision-matrix for his or her mind. This is what ancient Indian philosophy called the higher consciousness being in ‘Witness-Mode’ to see, supervise and monitor the self itself…
The process is simple. The Being-ness is slave of causalities, which the milieus present. And suitably, how a person behaves or acts, is decided by the cognition, which one’s nature and nurture shapes up in reaction to the causalities. All this happens in subconscious auto-process – the instinctive reactionary Being-ness. The internalization of nothingness and the vacuum liberates a person from this enslaved beingness. Then, the evolved higher consciousness, standing as a witness to everything, which either the milieu or others present, is at his or her objective and highly aware free will to choose and decide, what he or she can accept as the optimal decision-matrix of appropriate behavior…
… This Is What We Have To Be…
This enables the person to have infinite shades of personalities. This neutrality, objectivity and plasticity of the ‘witness-mode’ consciousness is a position of compassion, from where one becomes a catalyst for wellness to others, even while retaining his or her own true self deep inside. This can happen only when we internalize nothingness. And this internalization can happen only when death, mortality is accepted and nothingness is no more denied. If we want to be what we have to be, there is no choice but to accept mortality and internalize nothingness…
In Oriental traditions, especially in Yoga philosophy and Taoism, there is an insistence of breaking free of enslavement of elements, which in an auto-process shapes up and decides your reactionary and animalistic ‘Being’. The nothingness is insisted in all ancient philosophies. In quantum physics and super string theory, the idea of non-local consciousness is also seems to be the same.
This nothingness has to be understood and internalized. Humans have unraveled it as early as 3000 years back that there is a huge trouble in human design and this trouble is our consciousness, this subjective and personal sense of ‘I’ or ‘Me’. Therefore, there is no escape from grief, pain, turmoil, sufferings and ordeals. There are two routes to emancipation from the grief, pain, et al. First, we attain nothingness, attain full detachment and then remain in this state of non-being-ness. Secondly, we attain nothingness, live up this detachment in full and then, continue the life in the society and family but with objective and detached being-ness. But, the second option shall also be possible only when this nothingness is first internalized.
That is why it is so critical to patiently and perseveredly practice the art of attainment of nothingness. Keep up with the above-mentioned exercise and very soon, you shall arrive at a stage of evolved higher consciousness, where the grief shall transform into the most stabilizing and precious emotion of life-living – Compassion. Like grief, the compassion shall also initially come mixed with cognate impurities. However, continued journey into familiarity and knowledge of nothingness shall remove all impurities and finally; the pure and pious compassion shall shine and muffle your consciousness. The pure compassion shall become like gravity around a planet. This is human within us. Compassion is the halo around a human, which shines because of the homeostatic treasure within us.
There is no humanly coined and designed word in any language, which can describe what it feels like when pure compassion becomes your consciousness. It fills up all nothingness and there is not a particle of space left in consciousness to allow any other emotion and element – Fear, Anger, Attitude, Denial, Deception… Nothing!
This is the consciousness where all scams vanish. Reality and its holistic knowledge has only singular element of compassion. This higher consciousness with compassion shall unleash and infest others only with compassion. The De-Scammed consciousness is the seed of a human world full of compassion, affection, fraternity, assimilation and dignity for all. And; you shall qualify to become a Human – leaving 99.9 percent to enter 0.1 percent…!

Everything begins with acceptance; the conscious rejection of denial. There are questions and they are important because only when we accept questions, we move to discover the answers, which are already there. This is the singular objective road to knowledge building. Wisdom or knowledge too comes in stages; they are not usually arrived at suddenly. Like answers, questions are also born and evolved in time and space dimensions. Long history of humanity shows us how key life-living questions evolved in stages; their answers too were unraveled in stages and kept evolving. That is why we have to constantly move away and beyond our current state of mind consciousness, which has the instinctive inclination for accepting and be happy with comfort of inertia of few questions, their subjectively created answers and denying most of the questions.
The 21st century; the contemporary times we all are living in, has one big question for all of us. It is – How far we shall continue to deny Reality and live this Scam?
May be, a pandemic like COVID-19 shakes humanity and its stupid systems, making some people realize how scammed everything humanity has and how calamitously we all live in an imaginative world of stupidity and hypocrisy. But, things like this have not happened new to humanity. Humanity has never come out of the scam, despite huge crises like the Corona pandemic before. Rather, this itself becomes a great opportunity for scammed humanity to run deeper roots of more scams in the minds of people. Why?
This eBook shall investigate the question in entirety and holism with a scientific perspective. It shall not only elaborate and investigate the scam but also the Reality and Reality of Reality. The eBook shall unleash all ‘deniable’ questions and it shall investigate all probable answers.
It is a humble request that content of this eBook may not always seem very pleasurable as we are dealing with many aspects, which populist benchmarks have labeled as sort of taboo. Deconstructing death surely is not congenial. Therefore, do kindly Persevere as this De-Scamming of consciousness needs it in loads. Thanks.

Let Us Begin…
What Is A Scam? It is not a question, which we can ignore…
There is a pressing need to understand the meaning and implications of the term scam in its holism. Not that we do not know about it as everywhere, almost every day, one way or other, we come across this word. Rather, we have sort of accepted scam as part of and way of life in contemporary world.
However, there is a rather deep and life-defining implication of the idea and its universality called scam. We need to unravel it…
Literal meaning of scam; or what is there in pop perception, is somehow only a partial interpretation of larger reality, which the term scam envelops. Scam, in popular perception, means an ingenious but insincere and untruthful plan or mechanism to make money. So, largely, something to qualify as scam, it has to have two basic elements – Fraud and Profit. If we zero down to one single element that defines Scam, it has to be deceit – Deception.
Somehow, when we look into deeper aspects of this reality of deception and holism of tricking people into something; we can happily accept; this is something almost everyone does – deception and tricking the Reality; mostly to others, for personal gains. So, if we segregate the element of money-making and instead replace it with more generalist idea of gain, we broaden the scope of scam. This then envelops almost every living being; not only humans. Why?
Scientific studies confirm; all animals instinctively do Deception and Tricking – for survival optimization! This means – deception is embedded in body-mind mechanism; entrenched in life-living and well integrated inevitability in Reality. Does this mean – Scam is inseparable part of Reality? Can we say; Scam is a cosmic construct?
This however is not something we are concerned about. We have more valid and critical question and therefore, we must zero down only to the last singular answer…
To say, that we all are in some way or other; or in varying degrees, Scamsters, is nothing new. We all know it but stand in inventive denials. This denial of ‘probable’ scams is omnipresent in our relationships, life-living and personal beliefs. We all know it better than others that not only we willfully stand in denial of other’s scams to us, but also those, we do to others. This denial business is probably one domain of human life-living, where hypocrisy is minimum; otherwise…!
Therefore, we are not discussing those issues, which we all are already aware and even have a fair amount of acceptance too. What we are interested in deciphering here is macrocosmic, holistic or larger picture of the idea called scam and its universality in human world. For this to happen, we first need to broad-base the nature and scope of scam in our perceptional world.
Scam is essentially a deception of what is popularly accepted as Reality. It is like, I believe and accept something as Real and someone tricks me to accept something else as the same or even better than what I already accept as Real and True…
There is an infinite universe of perceptional reality and we all happily live in it. It is only natural that it is instinctive in the part of not only humans but millions of complex organisms to trick others to accept something as Reality. This is done for a gain – survival optimization.
For example, a wife clearly sees her husband indulging in inappropriate behavior with other women but she says, ‘Oh! He is just a bit naughty.’ The woman is scamming herself. The husband can also scam her, if need be, and would love to scam his wife by saying, ‘I was just tickling her funny bone.’
In some ways, scamming is then an instinctive and inventive artistry, wired in body-brain plexus of all living beings. Rather, it is an evolved instinct of almost all living organisms. In humans however, this instinct gets the best support of intelligence to raise it to the level of artistry and add more venom to it. When we all live in a world of infinite perceptions about Reality, there is smart and inventive competition among living beings to optimize survival potentials (gain-maximization) by deceiving or tricking others to
