The human mind on one hand is extremely complex and on the other very simple. Its one of the rare creation or object or phenomenon in Nature. Rather, we ourselves make it complex due to the many psychological compulsions we have or acquire or build during our existence in this material world which causes the conflict and the pain by way of resistance to certain things and the acceptance and acquisition of some. Its difficult for us to observe or watch something without involving our mind. Our mind interferes with the process of our thought for each of our acts.

Lets take an example - lets keep a glass of beer in the middle of a table and ask four guys to look at it and tell us what they think - chances are you will come with four different opinions!

Life was always like a vast sea beach and we strolling across looking and collecting sea-shells… we hold on to some while some we throw away thus creating - happiness and unhappiness.

Throughout our life we acquire knowledge on many aspects - from books, from teachers, from relatives, from circumstances, from experiences, from events, interactions, exchanges. And all this acquired knowledge is used to build only our own self - our own beliefs, our illusions in making us believe that we are all different individuals - making everyone of us a self centered entity - what i mean is all our actions and thoughts act with ‘us’ in the center of it.

Whatever we observe is guided by our desires, our motive our memory our thought. Instead of a beer even if we see a blooming rose - one will think to take a photo, another to draw it, someone to pluck it for his/her friend, someone to simple keep it, someone will ignore it, some will stay away as they may not like the smell ! All these actions happens with the illusive ‘me’ in the center a product of knowledge which help build it. So even being similar we act so differently.

I want this , i don’t want this, i am correct, i want to be a director, i want to an actor, i don’t want a jet, i don’t want to read this crap, i know better, i want sex, i want solitude, i hate liquor, i like guys, i like to show off, i like piercing, i love youtube, to blah blah… knowledge makes us create an image of our own self and others around us in our mind from which our actions take shape… And actions which takes shape from the self-centered knowledge and our selfishness, ego, vanity, greed and aggression is always damaging and will give rise to conflicts - conflicts between man and woman, conflict between societies, nations, institutions, religious groups and all people. And all of these leads us to try and act differently to prove and establish our so called individuality - one of the prime objective of life today is to showcase one as ‘different’ - either by a weird haircut or making a youtube video in the shower or having a tatoo or writing nonsense in a social profile. We ourselves are creating differences between us which have much greater effect on humanity at a macro level.

Observing things or becoming aware of something without our knowledge interfering the observation is difficult - i am not saying unattainable.

The other factor which is important and requires consideration in this context is time. As knowledge is acquired over time - we acquire knowledge over time. But that we will discuss in the next article.

We normally have a tendency, rather not a tendency but we think that we live in the past, present and also future - we look before and after while living in the present. But is that true ? Human beings as of now have always lived in the Past - the past being his memory.

Even when we are living in the present we try and analyze everything with reference to the past and when we plan or think about the future we use past as a background for all our projections. We are here we want to be there - we always think with the past in mind. Even when we try to understand something new we try to refer it to past theories, facts, formula and then try to put meaning to the new experience. And this is where we become blind to new ideas, concepts, theories etc. Its requires complete shutting off the Past to invent a new use of an electro-magnetism as in a

Tomorrow America will see an historical poll - as it will be either the first time when a black president wins the election or a female VP gets into white house. Neither I am interested in the elction nor my post relates to the outcome of the polls.

We speak all the time that change is necessary and change is required in nearly every context - exactly, what do we mean by change ? A change in our status - a change in our earning, in relation, in existance…  Even Barack Obama does not spares the use of the word in his campaigns - in fact this word became his main stroinghold in the mind of electorates and all headlines across the net and all media. Maybe he is really in favor of change or changes - we do not know. But from a unicersal perspective - if we analyse clrealy - we human beings have been leaving under the same violent condition and isolation and have not changed much sinceour first days on this planet.

Its good to think of change and say that we need to change - but first we must know - what to change and how to change - what we actually need is a drastic change in our approach to life - life is not ‘my’ story or the story of an individual - individuals are all same and part of the same story called life - which we can express in more exact words - “a miserable violent existance - full of conflict”.

So ‘Change” is required in our overall thought process - rather eliminating thought which grows on past baggage - and the past have never been pleasant in any respect. Change in thought whch creates lines between people - change in thought which divides people by religion, boundaries and economics. Change in thought which makes me think as a different individual from the other, chnage in though which makes us think as a different set of people from others - and i really dont know if Barrack Obama or anyone else for that matter is speaking of this change…

And unless we change - we are all heahed towards desctruction - as nature never lease its domain to a violent species - who destroys and kills for no reason.

Our current existence is caught between two worlds - the inner and the outer. The outer world - which we created,- is a world of hatred, misery, greed, envy, brutality - a violent world and the resulting society in which we live. A world where every nation is building their arsenal of arms by either manufacturing or simply buying - where the big ones sell while the poor nations buy - we formed this world - and our ways - our thinking is only to be held responsible for this - you and me.

And the inner world or the self is now getting shaped by the same outer world we developed - responding to it , reacting to it every moment , every second . We want our kids to be great human being - appreciating nature, loving people helping the needy - but no the outer world does not permits us to do so - we are forced them to push in the same technological race - the same race for being a superior human being instead of a good human being ! All our desires, our aspirations our ambitions are being constantly shaped by this outer world - how we dress, what we speak, what we do everything. And both this worlds are related and constantly flows from one to the other.

The other day we were discussing a great topic - what is history - arts or science at blogcatalog only. Some people do think that we all need to know our history. I expressed my views that whatever it is - we should deal very carefully with History - that it should not be included at school level along with a few more subjects. History - should be treated as a research subject and always studied under professional supervision.

Coz history changes a man - A kid will play with any other kid as along as they don’t know history - a kid is always a kid - he is not an Arab kid or a Israeli kid or a Hindu kid or a Russian kid or a Black Kid or a Chinese kid - it is we who make them as such and change their perspective to life.

Only questioning can purify the mind… questioning which is not a product of our thought process…

Nearly all the religions are based on books some one and some several…but none of them allows you to question or doubt… if you question the entire religious world in the west, east and all places crumbles down in one day… ( I will write more on this later) but questioning, doubting something purifies our mind and can only give us the most clear and bright picture of everything.
