You want good in life? Sure. Let’s explore.

This life is full of paradoxes and one of them which we will explore today sits at the heart of our physical existence and thought.

The human brain has learnt to define things over the course of its evolution. It has identified many concepts and understood what to do and what not to do for its survival. That the brain’s job and it does that very well. Bravo!

During this process of translations and definitions, the brain describes an arrival of “something” in their body as a feeling or a sensation. Due to an event or an action or another feeling. The brain calls whatever happens in the brain a “thought”. Our brain has defined its own workings as well. It is defining everything even when you are just looking at something and while doing this, it is also identifying all these thoughts, sensations and feelings as pleasant or not pleasant. Good or not good. Purely based on the data it already has. Memory of what’s good and what not good. Hence the world comes into existence. Our world.

All events in this world, in a way, happen on a cosmic level. We don’t really know what actually happens when we feel sad or happy. However we define them to understand them based on our memory, conditioning and previous experience. This definition is what creates the paradox which we are investigating.

For example, a thought, action or sensation may be defined as a “good” happening by one person, but by another the same could be defined as “bad”. We do this on a daily basis as we judge everything and every event. If we lose money because of an event, we define the event as bad. However the money itself is not lost. Someone, somewhere made that money and for them this event which led to this, is good. This is happening all the time in our lives.

It is that “good” we humans focus on all our lives. We try and find good in everything. At work, in love, in health and in life. Good which was defined by memory and conditioning. We chase good so much, that it ends up becoming a personality which sits as another memory in our brain. All the good gets automatically amalgamated into a person which is our inspiration. We want to be just like them. We want to be always good. The brain carries this all the time. Just observe it yourself. Don’t you have a very clear what is good for you?

When one looks at these big, thick clouds. Perhaps by a waterfall. Or at night on a backdrop of moonlight. When one sees them move. The marvel of these structures. What beauty! Merging with each other. Spreading out. Dancing. 

One thinks, realises and agrees that all of this is how it looks because of how my mind perceives it. In 21st century, this is basic science. Nothing special. How an image. A movie. All these marvellous clouds are happening inside me. My brain, which is part of this body.  In unity. 

Then one looks around and sees other things, people, stars, the moon or the sun. You must then also agree that all of these objects exists in your minds. They are imprinted in your minds. Without your mind, you won’t be able to view these images and videos of the world. All what you see. So for you they won’t exists. Nothing will exist. If this is the case for one person or a being, then it must be true for all life. Everything that can view things.

That means if everyone, and by that I mean everyone and everybeing, had their eyes removed, there would be no seeing. Hence nothing to see. No concept of anything to do with seeing. 

A creature which doesn’t have eyes, would have no concept of space and hence things and objects. If we remove all senses to explore the nature of reality objectively, there won’t be anything to smell, touch, feel, taste or see. 

So if there were no eyes (or other senses) and brain to support the eyes viewing, then what? Nothing? Maybe. But that is not what we are establishing here. The fact is that lots of us creatures have eyes and that has bigger implications for all of us.

Please listen to the episode for the rest...
