Physics, Philosophy, Spirituality, Ignorance - 04-05-2008, 03:42 PM

We try to understand how everything works. Some say everything is an illusion. So may be we try to understand the illusion so we can break it. We choose different paths. Physics- Measures the illusion(if it is a illusion). So may be we need to measure the illusion if we need to break it, to find out what amount of force we need to apply to break this illusion. May be the illusion is like a differential equation, if we solve it, we get integrated result.

Then there is philosophy which divides the illusion(if there is illusion)which is more dangerous. One of the basic necessities of philosophy is analysis. Which is limited for every problem. So every problem is divided into pieces. Each person gives a solution for the problem with different analysis. Most of the time the analysis depends on the person's past, his glories, his defeats, his beliefs and his practices.

Then of course there is spirituality which is said to be based on a higher truth. But the truth is supposedly covered in illusion. To break the illusion we need to raise ourselves to higher levels of consciousness. May be we need float over the illusion standing on the magic carpet of consciousness and touch the truth. But the truth can only be realized. Can it be taught? I don't think so. There cannot be a 100% successful transmission os spiritual teaching. Because the understanding depends on the persons past, his self. May be that's why we need to leave the self. May be self is an illusion.

Then there is ignorance, sounds awesome 'A life of no worries'. But how true is it. Being self-aware, do we have the right to be ignorant, or do we at least have the capability to be ignorant. We see a person fighting for his life. We should take him to a doctor. We ignore him, we become inhuman. So we are aware of his position, we are also aware of what we have to do. We are aware because we have been taught some things, which can do a few good in life. Is this all a illusion. Is the death of a person a illusion. Should we not sacrifice our now, so another person can have his now. Should we just let him be. Is this freedom? Should we not embrace the illusion at least so that we can do a few good things.


That's the secret to life... replace one worry with another.
-Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000), American cartoonist, the creator of peanuts.
