The Origin of Basic Questions
Restricted as we are on the surface of the earth or the lithosphere and surviving because of the basic rhythm among the Lithosphere, troposphere, hydrosphere and the resulting Biosphere, we have developed the most basic or fundamental questions say—why, how, when, what, where etc.I feel these basic questions are the results of our imprisonment. Entire language and grammar etc are based on this basic confinement. Your understanding or connecting to the modelled or conceptualized base is the outcome of this basic imprisonment. We are starting from this fundamental 'suffocation'.
Now agreeing that this suffocation is inescapable, we are resorting to technology and the techno-logic. This techno-logic pervades every aspect of our modelling or conceptualization. We are under the techno-frenzy or the surrender frenzy to the metaphor—the machine. Our entire language—subject,verb,predicate,object,adjective,adverb,conjunction,interjection,gerund etc and the dictation of these bases in the method of thinking and expression have made the very Holistic approach meaningless or baseless or logic-less.
When we accept that the Universe about 13.6 billion years ago was one single unit—the Singularity—these bases, then, were meaningless. Has that meaningless-ness really changed at all? We all know that an atom is empty space, but nevertheless we devised the periodic table, isotopes, quarks, leptons---the standard model, concepts that absolutely depend on the techno-logic., based on the techno and mathematical symbols, a field which the ordinary earthlings cannot enter unless familiarized with this Newtonised invisible spectrum. But is it really advancement in thought or bluff including bluff to self? When the atom itself is empty, how can you justify these categories?
The first fundamental or basic question is the origin of consciousness or thought and thought manifestations. There is an urgent need to free the Holistic approach from religions. Names of Gods too are categorization and as a result prejudging. I cannot tell what we have to do, as I really do not know, but I guess that one may start with Pranayama, yoga... and experience the perception then.
As it is, the problem is which questions to ask, before we seek answers. The Microcosm of the invisible spectrum is simply unlanguageable. In the quantum world, if you send one photon with a thousand holes in its front, that single photon goes through all the thousand holes at the same time!!!!The situation there is baffling. We have to depend on technology but we are not machines, and mechanical understanding and emotionalized understanding are different. Mechanics and emotions do not agree with each other and we just can never achieve the absence of emotional bias demanded of today's sciences. We can devise only emotion laden questions, but we simply cannot develop any emotional interaction with things which we can neither see nor conceptualize. Like blind persons we clutch technology. It is like depending on a supporting stick when one is blind. You plod with the stick so that you do not fall, a totally personal interest dominated situation. When you use technology to explore the Microcosm, you are in the same situation---you are dominated by your personal circumstances. We have to discover the questions first.
