Preface:

Most often, so many people, young or not so young, in contemporary societies feel the ‘disconnect’ with people, their ambient milieus and larger purpose of life. Somehow, if this situation lingers, this disconnect; or lack of fruitful connect, often brings about the very troublesome emotion of alienation – Feeling Of Not Belonging!

Then, often, this alienation may prompt many people to subconsciously imbibe some dysfunctional behaviors and action, with a view to install their diminutive sense of belonging. It is then very natural that such ‘abnormality’ shall seek ‘inclusiveness’ into mainstream culture by validating it in the name of some universal element of human make-up. Only a handful seeks ‘inclusion’ with the might of ‘violence’ but most shall settle for ‘psychological’ positioning for elusive righteousness. This can lead to some sort of populist ‘redefinition’ or ‘repositioning’ of prevalent societal psychologies to validate new yet ‘aberrant’ attitudes.

Somehow, this crucial fact remains that true and real connects is intangible – not physical but mental. Therefore, knowledge always happens to be the real and lasting connect with everything around us. We know it well that lasting wellness can come to us only through entrenched connect with generic elements and as our consciousness is intangible, its lasting connects can come only through intangibilities. Knowledge is the real intangible connect.

This is the most calamitous war unleashed in societies all over the world as many groups of people, with all the might of their ‘perceptional-righteousness’ are trying to install their own subjective and competing versions of – What Is Actual Knowledge...!

So, the spiritualism, religion, science, psychology, politics, history, all compete for labeling and installing their domain of knowledge as the true one. This allows almost everyone to come up with perceptions of what he or she thinks is ‘true knowledge’. This advocacy of body being the ultimate wisdom-receptor in the name of populist psychology of ‘Be Yourself’ viscerality is the front-runner. The world is the battle-field of warring cultural perceptions and subjective ideologies.

In contemporary cultures, the worst casualty is average person’s disconnect with instinctive human curiosity and inquisitiveness. Especially, many in the young generations feel knowledge is optional, even a burden. There is an insistence on living life, at the cost of ignoring knowledge about life-living essentials. People of any age, whether they are kids, young or old; this inquisitiveness should always remain as primary energy of all actions and behaviors. There is nothing but knowledge that truly connects us with things other than us. Important it is to accept here with all humility that knowledge should always be an evolving realism.

We all know, it is rare that a small kid feels lonely or bored. He or she is always busy connecting physically as well as mentally to everything real or imaginary around him or her. Kids are wired for curiosity and inquisitiveness, even when societies usually smother their innate curiosities. However, as we grow, we stop to actually keep growing. We stop connecting. We stop the crucial linkages of knowledge. Modern cultures insist on education as means to acquire skills about jobs and careers but the crucial life-living knowledge is being sidelined. So, we may be skilled but not truly knowledgeable.

We have to re-learn this mastery of the artistry of being in perpetual connect with this art and science of inquisitiveness about the mystical universe – everything around us, till life allows us time. Knowledge connects, it makes us belong, it keeps us thrilled and in joy of being inseparable part of the colossal whole. Yes, everyone is truly lonely in his or her pursuits of knowledge as this process is intangible and operative at the intangible level of consciousness.

A consciousness filled with connects of inquisitiveness of knowledge lands us at this facilitative time-space realism of happy loneliness. We are then lonely and at our happiest best. This is the facilitative soil for growth and evolution of true ‘Be Yourself’ empowerment...

… At The Very Outset…

It is indeed a sad but omnipresent truth of the living experience that good and right things are very much in minority. Far more depressing is the fact that the minority of goodness and right is almost always prevailed over by the majority of bad, wrong and undecided. And this can be easily understood.

The wrong and bad is the instinctive and intuitive part of human living behavior-action whereas, the good and right of society is a conscious and inculcated behavior-action. Majority of humans being intuitive, are prone to being ‘manipulated’ by unscrupulous elements of society and become a party to bad, wrong and undecided. Only a few has the good and right with them as it takes a lot of conscious and discretionary awareness and positioning in the part of people, which is very tough.

It is almost perceptible now that in the long history of mankind, all major developments in the world had three things in common –

First, most of these developments were very good-intentioned and originated out of the long struggle or deep pain of humanity to make the world a better place to live. Be it religion, philosophy, culture, law or science.

Second, it is a real curse that only a small group of people initiated actions over good ideas but they seldom penetrated and reached to the mass levels. Almost all goodness started with a minority voice and needed support from all possible media to reach the masses to ascertain authentication from the majority. The regretting fact is that most goodness in the past had either got a bad media or no media. The ‘no media’ was not as perilous as the ‘bad media’. The sad reality that in the long history of civilized nations and civil society is that the media of their times failed to rise up to occasion and chiefly because the leaders of media were themselves very poorly knowledgeable and aware. The end result was low or unfocused people participation to support the goodness. By the term media here we don’t mean the ‘Press’ only. Media means those people and institution in all walks of life, be it religion, philosophy, culture, law or science, who had the leadership position to influence societal decision-making-mechanism.

Third and important thing was the natural corollary of the second. As the goodness could not assure involvement and participation of the majority, a small group of unscrupulous people very cleverly entered the scene as middlemen and usurped the benefits in connivance with the authorities entrusted with the task of delivery of the goodness. Here too, historically, media failed in its role to preempt and prevent such unwanted usurpation. Rather, in most cases, media and its leaders proved hand in glove with the pilferage mechanism and enjoyed undue heavens.

It is Important to know the two prerequisites for the success of any goodness that was initiated for general well-being of humanity. First and foremost is a very aware and proactive media and secondly, a well-oiled regulatory mechanism for fast and steady penetration and reach to the masses as well as the insurance that goodness reached in the right and avowed shape and size.

It is to be clearly understood why all this happens. As we will understand that, we all shall develop very compassionate and affectionately objective view and stand over those people who either play villain to goodness or are simply a misguided lot.

Human ingenuity for pilferage is instinctive; it cannot be completely done away with. It has been said hundreds of years back by a wise man, ‘Nobody can understand and check when a fish drinks water while being in water’. ‘Self’ is an undeniable reality and ‘selfishness’ is also very natural, instinctive and intuitive. It comes out of the genetically designed urge for self-preservation of any living cell. The nobility of human selfishness is however a social product. And this social product is not intuitive but inculcated by right education and objective mind-training.

The fear or care for social approval and reprimand decides the intensity of inclination of selfishness to indulge in ingenuity of pilferage. The basic fear is the fear of majority and the only potent check on human ingenuity. But, humanity has always been unfortunate in the sense that goodness never gets majority backing and ingenuity always does get it.

This rule applies to all bad and wrong things of humanity. Be it the issue of corruption, religious bigotry, religious fundamentalism, religion-based-frauds, superstitions, social evils, etc, in all these the real culprit is the age-old subjective woes of humanity. They are fear, insecurity, gross ignorance, poor societal law-enforcement, undecided value-system of society, etc.

It is a scientific truth that a person who grew up very insecure, fearful, uncared-unloved and undecided shall live to be a man or woman with higher inclination to be corrupt, superstitious, practice religious fundamentalism & narrow-mindedness, be perilously radical and stubborn in social situations and above all an intuitively devious and deviant personality.

It is a simple rule. Sell fairness cream to very fair and already milky-white complexioned young lady and she will laugh at it. Sell the same to a dark-skinned lady and she will buy it in tones. Now, a good sales man is not satisfied as he has been taught to be ingenious. He will convince the milky-white lady that very soon she too shall have dark skins as the sun is becoming more intense and hence she would need the cream. If the lady is insecure, ignorant and full of fear, she will intuitively fall for it and the sales guy will be successful in selling the fairness cream even to her. No confident and secure lady with any type of skin shall buy the fairness cream claiming ‘miracles’ as she shall be a rationalist. There is no harm in the desire to be fair but the problem is with ‘claims of miracles’ and being subservient to this lure and belief.

The same is with all ‘adverts’ of politics and leaderships in any domain of life. Lure and false belief in ‘miracle adverts’, given by anyone in politics or by a leadership is his or her business but one should not ‘buy’ their ‘products’ riding on our instinctive fears, insecurities and love for miracles. Desire for ‘attainments’ in individual is not bad or wrong, however falling prey to our own fears, insecurities and stupidities is, if we blindly buy the ‘miracle-adverts’ of anyone – be in politics, economy or faith domains…

It is observed globally that it is women who largely are the buyers of most miracles of Gods, God-men and other faith-sellers. The sales-men of faith-trade know it very well where the easy market lies. The religion first creates fear and insecurity and then sells its products. The religion of all shades and colors shall tell people that this mortal world is so full of pain, uncertainty and troubles and then the hell awaits all sinners. Believing this is easy as this world is essentially chaotic. Then, the Gods and God-men say, ‘Come to me and I shall own all your troubles. I shall open the door of heaven for you who come to me’. He tells you, the sun shall make you dark-skinned and you cannot avoid the sun. And, only he has the ‘fairness cream’ that is a ‘sure-cure’ for dark-skin. And, he alone has the ‘umbrella’ of UV-protection!

Men are also not behind. With them, it is ‘sexual-potency’ that is what fairness cream is for women. The potion and pills sells with them as they are insecure and fearful about it. The potency-sellers know well, how to cash on to this
