Evolution, carnivore diet and Cannibalism

In the view of evolution being a fact, and that we humans are as much animals as animals are, the reasons we give to eat meat by killing animals, technically our fellow beings, even though we have other options available to consume, to survive, is akin to a cannibal eating other humans even though he had other options to consume to survive. Hence I say, legalizing cannibalism should logically make sense, until killing animals for consumption even though there are other options available, is made illegal and a crime. Even Jesus said, "Thou shalt not Kill" he didn't Say, "thou shalt not kill a human". There is a big difference. what do you think? Think!

Sam Harris-- Free Will Speech --- Argues for the very need for religion

Image
LMAO! Just heard this speech by Sam Harris, a neuro-scientist, a prominent anti-theist, may be even an atheist here is talking about how "free will" is an illusion. He obviously is a very accomplished neuro-scientist, so he knows the science he is talking about. The rest of it is actually something all of us can understand just based on pure personal experience. After Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, I think Sam Harris completes triad/trinity of atheist god fathers for atheists world over. Now he has written a book on free will which I need to read (I will soon) but purely based on this speech right here: I actually will argue he is advocating the need for religion in society without he realizing that. He makes a very basic fundamental mistake in assuming something that makes his whole argument wrong about free will. In fact this speech also ties in to the philosophy of Ancient Indian Astrology, if you understand what he is saying about the nature of ...

Lets Party…………………… Every Morning

Image
I grew up in America since my late teens. And an attempt to “Party” (regretfully) has been a constant endeavor on a regular basis. And what does partying mean? Most people I know its about getting high and finding a girl to hang out with. Luckily, drinking never caught my imagination although I’ve tried quite a few different list of things. I was in general out for the second part, as I said, I regret my immaturity. You see I understand young immature kids seeking the second pleasure, coz its so ingrained to the deepest levels of our DNA and consciousness. No one needs to initiate us into it, no one needs to teach us anything about it. It just a is a natural process. And talking in terms of Sanatana Dharma Philosophy, this is one “Vasana”/ “Samskara” that is potentially the deepest and the most difficult to get rid of, that following the sookshma sharira ( the subtle body) across reincarnations for eternity (until of course you fall off the cycle through “liberation”/Niravana…wat ev...

Something is seriously wrong

Recently I came across an article on facebook which read: "The West, not even three centuries after the industrial revolution, is now running out of breath. It has no direction, no healthy foundations, no value left except selfishness and greed, nothing to fill one's heart with. India alone has preserved something of the deeper values that can make a man human and the world will surely be turning to them in search of a remedy to it's advanced malady."  - Michel Danino. I've been thinking on similar line for a while now. Yes, I came to America seeing the glitter created by the silicon valley boom. I was 16. But the more I understand the nuances of life in the west, of course by west, I can only talk about life in America, I see how hollow and how thoughtless this society really is in general. Our over dependence on all things modern has gotten us where? We sit on the most comfortable furniture in the history of mankind, yet the chiropractor business...

David Bohm and Advaita Vedanta

Found an extraordinary piece today on scientific American. Its an interview with Dr. Basil Hailey. The entire script can be found here . The following are the excerpts of the entire interview. Read it, and make your own call: GM :Tell me some of those ideas that you played with. BH: We were interested in undivided whole. How do you describe wholeness without breaking it up into pieces? Bohr said you can’t analyze any further: don’t make the division between the subject and the observing apparatus, because everything is a whole, and as soon as you break it into pieces, you’ve lost it; you’ve changed the phenomenon. I took a lot of insight from Bohr. If you read our book, we never say Bohr was wrong, whereas most other people say Copenhagen is nonsense. What we disagreed with Bohr about is that he couldn’t analyze it further. What we’ve been trying to do is analyze it further. Our idea was to say, yes, you can do it. You can talk about the individual, but it’s the qua...

A Search for Historical Krishna

Here is all the proof needed, some people i know very well keep claiming that NOTHING was found in relation to the Dwaraka of the Puranas/Mahabharata in the submerged city found off the coast of present day Dwaraka. Please check below for a few other incriminating links. Here is a nice article I found: @ http://satyameva-jayate.org/2005/08/14/a-search-for-the-historical-krishna/ A Search for the Historical Krishna Dr. N. S. Rajaram The following is a section from a long article called “A Search for the Historical Krishna” by Dr N. S. Rajaram, which precedes his upcoming book which will be of the same title. Dr N. S. Rajaram was a former engineer at NASA, a field which he subsequently left to study ancient civilisations. He has authored a number of scholarly and polemic works. He is widely respected in his field – although his conclusions are by no means universally accepted. Dr Rajaram has also invited hostility from some academics – although they tend to engage in per...

Free Will -- A Note

Just a note for people following my thought here: Although at certain levels science is telling us there is no free will and that free will is an illusion and the same being said by schools of thoughts on India. I think further research is necessary from me on both fronts to understand exactly what is being said. I am unclear on this topic at this point.
