Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Adults!--- A global pandemic.

December 21, 2013 Key Concepts :

Dear Human,

Have you noticed that everything (except human) are immune from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? This is due to the fact that their baseline energy level "almost" perfectly matched their phenotype. So they are not disturbed with their own nature. We human have much more energy in us than our body and mind can bear. Just like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children, we have so much extra energy that we become hyperactive without our conscious knowledge.

Just like children
1. We are unaware of the existence of extra energy in our body. We always have to do something; we have to explore, we have to discover, we have to indulge, we have to enjoy, we have to be happy, but we don't know why we have to do those things! Just like kids, we say we want to do those things and that's it. We do not have the courage to ask, why we are doing what we do.
2. We don't put attention carefully on whats going on. We just do what we think (with some or huge influence from others).
3. We do not understand what is the meaning of things that we are doing.
4. We do not ask why we have too much energy ( unlike rest of the staff like molecules, cells, organisms)  in first place.

All this can be best summarized as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is totally okay to label children with ADHD but you are not allowed to put any such label to adult, no matter how identical both of theses are! Funny rules of the game! The result is the world we are seeing today. Good, bad, mediocre, cool, funny, sexy, fat, smart and the rest of it. Don't get me started on this list, lol. Everything has to have a name, everything has to be categorized in preexisting or "new" paradigm. It has to fit into the paradigm. It has to, unless, ... the child thinks (in adult's body)..., how things will operate? We cannot operate without this logic of paradigms.

An Invitation to the Thinkers.

December 17, 2013 Key Concepts :

There are two types of people

1. The Group of believers.
It includes the "herd" or the people, regular priest, mullah, "enlightened one", scientist, politicians, philosopher of all kind, and "nonbelievers". These "nonbelievers" include believers of the non-existence of god (i.e. atheists), including professional atheists, writers, and skeptics, and the rest of the "scientifically and commercially enlightened". Scientists themselves believe in scientific "dogmas" without any proof of their basic assumptions, then they do the rest of the experiments, pretending for the herd that they know everything. Mathematicians have doubts about their numbers and equations. Philosophers are perplexed from day one. Don't believe me? Just do your homework. They "know" (note small "k" for the word know) little things but still have doubts, hence they have to have faith and belief (hence" believer"). Faith is the last resort they cling to avoid psychological discomfort or worse, committing suicide.

2. The Group of "Knowers" ( note the capital "K" for "Knowers")
I cannot put any other names for this group, although I can create a new term "The Sopher" [ie. Possessor of Knowledge, not just love it or not just looking for it ("Philosophers")]. This group Knows by their personal experience. Everybody has the tools to be a Knower, but unfortunately, most of them are not ready to receive it, hence the Knowledge cannot don on them. I don't know any of the Knowers personally but I know this group exists.

Few examples:

"Know thyself"
.....Delphic Oracle and Ancient Greek Sages/Thoth/Thales
"One who knows his self, knows His Lord" - Ancient Sages and Prophets

"It's better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels, demons, heaven or hell".
......Buddha

"Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know"
......Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching"

"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. If you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you. But if you don't seek and do not bring it forth, what you do not have within you will kill you. And then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
....... Jesus (Isa).

They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;  they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
..... Psalm 135:16–18

"Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?"
..... Mark 8:18

“Indeed.. They have hearts they do not understand with, eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with. They are like cattle. In fact, they are even less guided! Such ˹people˺ are ˹entirely˺ heedless.
....... Sura Araf :179

"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve"
....... Max Planck

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct [enslave] your life and you will call it fate.”
....... Carl Jung

"Those who forsake spirituality/religion for science, or vice versa, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one "
....... Trisduction


These people Know for sure. There are many more too, but typically they are silent about it because there nothing to talk about something if you Know it absolutely. They don't just believe stuff. They KNOW. It has to don on you. Only that's how you know.
______________________________

All of them (Believer [see the definition of believer], and Knowers) knowingly or not knowingly serving for the same Master. This is the only conviction I have.
______________________________

Then the questions are:

"Do you want to know who you are serving for"?
"Why do I ever want to know?" Or "What's the point if I am already happy?"
"And what if I don't want to serve him?" Or even "Why he is exploiting us?"

To answer these questions, I just want to say, it's just an extremely pleasurable experience and it's our right to know and because we are designed to know. Otherwise there will be always a subconscious bad feeling, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU ACHIEVE on earth, so subconscious that it will not be accessible to you but will be manifested as a different discomfort or uneasiness or impulses (Please see the ADHD Essay). If you know the Truth, you will not need anything else, not even the desire for immortality on this world, and the Truth will set you free.

****And this is important...
If you are really, really not at "unease" with this kind of thought, then let our blessing onto you. You don't have to know. You are just an angelic being and doing perfectly fine.

--------------------------------------------------
The road to knowledge is hermetically sealed except for those with insights
Those will have ears, but will not hear,
Those will have eyes, but will not see,
Those will have a brain, but will not find the rationale,
Those will have heart, but will not perceive.
Unless you "Know" for yourself.
Look inside (psychology) and look outside (Science).
You have the tools, your brain, books, researches, and the internet.

Remember ..The Knowers are not interested in enlightening people. You cannot enlighten people, if they are not prepared. Those who are distributing knowledge commercially are the QuasiKnowers. As you know, Knowledge is power and the powerful knows that his power lies in his knowledge. That's why he accumulate more power, ie. Knowledge. Just like power has inherent tendency to be centralized, the knowledge associated with those also tends to be hidden. Nobody wants to distribute their power away, similarly, nobody is generous enough to distribute their useful knowledge just for free. Instead of distributing you knowledge, QuasiKnowers distribute a package of organized Ethics /Laws or retired technology & toys for the herd to follow and live by. Paradoxically, it actually works on your behalf because, when you come to Know, then it's your own credit and you will feel debt-free!
--------------------------------------------------
But the most critical question is "Do you really want to Know?"
If yes and only then,
You will Know.

And when (or if) you come to "Know".....one day..... Just remember me, and this humble invitation. That's all I want.

PS: You are free to share my invitation to anybody. The TRUTH is already out there. It always has been and will be. This is just my invitation for thinking, for those who are seeking the Truth.

Logic and human mind

Key Concepts :

Logic is the only rational tool we have. Logic will show you the truth out of data. It is not mathematics. Mathematics is just a tool to help you think logically and clearly. At the end of the day, mathematics is just subservient to the logic. Too many people rely on mathematics more than their logic in a such a way that the servant have become the masters of the the original master, forgetting the original design. [A good analogy is in a democratic society government (Servants) becomes the master of the people (the Masters) while the original design was upside down].

If logical conclusion leads to some paradox then you still have to solve it logically. The best thing is to check the assumptions for their validity. It still involves logic but again that's the only tool you have. You have to use you all logical resources before drawing your penultimate, (if not the ultimate) conclusion. Its hard and time & effort consuming, I know! But still it worth it because that's our job, to "think". Even after exhausting all of your logical resources, if you still left with paradoxes, then don't blame the logic per se. That's the nature of reality. Learn how to deal with it, don't just complain about the best tool on the universe known to exist. And remember, Heroes never complain.

Anyway, logic will lead you to even paradoxes but it will not compromise in detecting truth, given you tried enough. Sometimes logic will say that both are true even they are mutually exclusive. This is the birth of paradoxes. Don't fall in "the danger of taking one as true but because they are mutually exclusive the other must be false" trap. Don't overuse logic. Don't overshoot. If logic tells you both are true, then keep that in the same way, of course after exhaustive use of logic and available evidences. Don't just be biased to take one as true over the other for your false comfort. It will strike you back. Learn how to live in full of paradoxes, because life itself is a paradox. When somebody knows something as true as fully as he knows himself, but still can not prove it due to logical impossibilities, then the only way he can convey the message by making up some stories, often fantastic stories. This is the birth of myth. Although the denotation of myth itself is false, but it points towards the connotation of some underlying truth to it. If you have an inquisitive and imaginative mind then you will see the truth as clearly as daylight behind the veil of myths.

Even with this best use of logic, it cannot guarantee the veracity of the starting assumptions. How can I find genuinely true assumptions? All of the mathematicians, scientists, and logicians are conveniently silent here. It is very uncomfortable for them to talk about those to general public because they don't want to expose their sham starting points. After all they have to have people's faith on them in order to keep them in business. The very starting points they are taking a truth have no scientific ground at all. It's our old good friends namely common senses and gut feelings. Again you have to use logic to probe the assumptions to check for its integrity. But again to check that we need to take even deeper assumption as the new starting point and ad infinitum. At the bottom of such inquiry you will end up with following situation:

"If logic is the tool for ferreting out truth then how can I find the assumption that will validate the logic itself".

The answer of this kind of question will lead to a strange loop which itself is a paradox. As I told you, don't overuse logic and overshoot. This paradox has to be dealt with another complementary paradox. That's the only solution. Just try to imagine why there is such a thing called logic in first place. Logic and assumption are coming from the same source except we see logic and assumption as a concretely different classes of thoughts. Actually they are the different face same coin. Logic is put there just to identify the existence of assumptions but under disguise of being a separate entity. Logic is just put there to acknowledge or appreciate the existence of the veracity of assumptions. This self realization is the marvel of duality logic and its original goal. That's the birth of something new coming out of underlying principle but the new is still part or embedded in the whole without any independent existence! But it looks like they have independent existence and the logic has the total freedom to decide which one is true. Again a paradox. He who understand and master this paradox will feel and appreciate the truth of existence of both sides of the coin, where they meet and thrive.

Foot note:
Few Known Limitations of Logic:
1. Logic is human construct and originates from human experience and cognitive structures, questioning its universality and truthfulness. 
2. Logical reasoning is influenced by cognitive biases like confirmation bias and the availability heuristic, suggesting logic often rationalizes subjective inclinations.
3. Logic's dependence on language, which is ambiguous and culturally influenced, challenges its objectivity.
4. Incompleteness and Paradoxes: Gödels' incompleteness theorems and logical paradoxes reveal inherent limitations and self-contradictions within logical systems.
5. Human emotional intelligence and intuition operate outside strict logic, highlighting its inadequacy in capturing complex realities.
