Our existence is in our minds

Our existence is in our minds. Our existence is made by what we perceive; what we think, feel, what we see, hear, taste, smell and touch. How we reflect on what we perceive is our consciousness and it is what we are. It is created by experiences which have been ingrained in our memories, channeled by our environment maintained by this “mind”
We live in our minds, but life is much bigger than your mind. Sadly in our mundane lives we are trapped in our routine paths, our careers, our TVs, our families that most of us fail to appreciate what Life is.
Look beneath your feet while walking in a park. (That is, if you are one of those lucky people who have parks near by, or find it a fun thing to do) You will find mud and grass. Think of what life is to that little plant. Starting from a seed buried in dirt, waiting for water which set the plant free, building strength day by day as it goes through the dirt and mud, trying to reach the top and finally after days or weeks it makes it through the surface. What an achievement! And it builds on that achievement and then it stands tall and you look at it as just one the thousand of “grass leaves” or just another tree.
Look harder through the mud and you will find an ant, searching for that piece of bread you dropped from your sand-which. It finds it and ecstatically it goes to its peers sending signals that are transferred to the headquarters and 50 more ants are dispatched to move that piece of bread back to their homes. If look even harder you will find small moving dots that are some insects which you do not know their names, they are moving around in their lives, going through their “tasks”, trying to mate, trying to make children before they die in peace.
But you do not look at all of that, you do not notice it. Because you are on your task, trying to finish this walk through the park, trying to get to the other side of town, so you can be done with your task, go back home so you can wake up early for your big day at work. If you succeed at this meeting tomorrow and it will be one hell of an achievement. You will make it in your job, make your wife happy, and maybe afford to have happy children, so you can die with a meaningful life. But the problem is that in our minds, our life is so special. Life is only ours.
But may be we need to realize that our lives are all the same. Our minds are all the same. Our brains are all the same. The differences between each of us are maybe as the differences between a Himalayan tiger and an african cheetah, or a “big head ant” and a “leaf cutter ant” Different rituals, different skills, different interpretations, but ultimately same patterns of behavior. But in “our minds”, we believe we are very different, so special.

Disregarding your origins, those are facts

The human limitations have to be acknowledged before starting this everlasting argument. No matter what your beliefs are, you MUST acknowledge this. If you do not or can not, then your argument is false before you even start it.
Disregarding if there was a maker that created you, or an accident that started the process of you evolving to become an intelligent mammal, you have to acknowledge that you are a human. You have a brain and you have the ability to contemplate, think, or in other words; you have consciousness. Disregarding your origins, those are facts. (The depth of contemplation may be limited by mental illness, but still the ability is still there, albeit limited
As a human being, you may sometime think about your origins, about where you came from and how life started. In order to start this process of “thinking” or “contemplating” you will have to utilize your brain.
To think, you use your knowledge, and that was acquired through your senses. As everything that entered your brain, and hence your mind, must have done so through one of the “inputs” of this processor called brain. Your eyes saw something, your  ears heard something, your nose smelled something, your tongue tasted something, your skin felt something (touch), or your brain (mid-ear and cerebellum) felt a certain position or a certain movement (proprioception; position sense), from those senses you formed pieces of information, manipulated this information over and over making a thought and many other thoughts. So to think or to contemplate is virtually dependent on the functions of your senses.
Now imagine if God created a living form just like you but lacked the sense of “vision”. Or Imagine a species, that look just like you but evolved without acquiring the sense of vision. That species just like you is contemplating where it came from, making all scientific and philosophical arguments. But it cannot see. When you think of that species you realize how limited it is to judge the whole existence without ever seeing what you saw. For that species, it will never understand color, it will never understand visuospatial orientation, cannot see faces, cannot imagine a beautiful scenery, and so forth. It will never understand nor imagine what vision is. And it will never judge existence accurately because it lacks a fundamental sense. Obviously existence and nature would be so different to it, than it is to you. You “see”, it is blind.
So you have to acknowledge that all human beings are limited by their senses. Disregarding our origins, created or evolved, we are limited with what we have. We can only look with what we have, and until we evolve a new Sense, or are “given” a new sense by god, we can not exclude other dimensions of existence. In the same way, if we are devoid of a certain sense than we will lack judgement of certain dimension of our world. And do not even to try to imagine what that new sense could be, you will never be able to, your abstraction is limited by your knowledge…
So before you start an argument with somebody about atheism vs. a deity. you must confirm that disregarding our origins, we are limited with our senses, and will never be able to know for certainty that which we have no access to.
After you acknowledge that, you can start arguing. And mind you this is for Atheism vs. Deity, not Atheism vs. Religion.

It’s The December School Holidays Now

It’s the December school holidays now, and I’ve probably not seen the kindergarten kids in my art programme for close to a month. Strangely, I even had a dream of me conducting a class last night, with the usual kids.  There were so many priceless moments with them, that would leave me guffawing to myself as I recall. Out of all of them, this has got to be one of my favorites.  (Well, I can’t decide which is my favorite anyway!) A chubby 3 year old kid, who never fails to make me laugh with his kiddy humour, shows me his work and leaves it on his table. He proceeds to stand right in front of me, observing me with his head slightly tilted to the left. Kid: Who are you? Me: *bewildered, thinking that it’s probably one of his funny antics again* Who am I? I am teacher. Kid: Teacher? I know… Uh, TEACHER! What is your name? Me: My name is I. Kid: I teacher? Me: Teacher I.

The Road

The Road That path where we meet And weave our tongues And tickle our ears With words in gossips. That path where our voices Blare like screeching tires, Soliciting companionship Amidst the cacophony of honks In a banter of delectable conspiracies Of sinners and preachers; Of the drunk and the sober, Of the virile and the impotent, Of the blessed and the cursed…, That conclave, Where we pan out our ears to eavesdrop; That path that leads to Golgotha; The Broadway and the narrow way…, The road, that leads to destinies!
