Einstein,Pronoia and this Beautiful Universe


There are many 'snake' gods down to the south of India.My mom told me that they represent our DNA.There is this particular pair that do look like the helix structure of DNA proposed by Watson and Crick and the two snakes are entwined in a very similar fashion(Well,they-the snakes-seemed to be mating according to me.Then again,it's according to me.)It occurred to me that maybe it's all in our DNA.There is a particular gene to every bio-chemical and emotional response to reactions by our body.Maybe there is something more basic than the genes that controls our living self. Maybe.One more loose end.
It fascinates me how there is a pattern in everything the mind can see and cannot.Religion,underground cults,oceans,the shape of our toes,the music through ages,oil colors on water,tears.They all have the same pattern running through them.And there is more than one pattern.According to me,maybe the most important pattern would be energy.The whole of the scientific world has stated it.All of us have the same 3 components running through us:The proton ,neutron and electron.The numbers vary and that gives the variety.Einstein understood something on an similar base and gave us the Theory of Relativity.

The original theory states: E=mc2
Where E is energy and to get it all one needs to do is multiply the mass of an particular substance into the square of speed of light.This theory is probably the greatest insight Einstein every had-that energy and mass are the same thing in different forms.So that house lizard that you hate so much is the same as you.An analogy from the mother theory,helped me understand perceived difficulty in all my emotions.In this analogy all the variables contain their original meaning except instead of c2 being the sq of speed of light ,it's the sq of speed of thought.The logic behind this is that I was trying to explain emotions to myself.
So what are emotions made up of?Feeling's.What are feelings made up of?Perceptions.And these perceptions are made up of a cluster of thoughts.Why do you like someone-you think you like her because of some characteristic.It's as simple as that.Something appealed to you and it's a thought.Everyday a million thoughts pass through our egoist minds like a million tadpoles wading across a river.Some survive,some die.The survival of the fittest ,in a way.The thoughts that survive are the ones that make an impression and procreate the corresponding future Emotions.What if the ones that died lived and vice-versa?That means,the emotions would be different,right?So what leads to some of the tadpoles surviving and others not?The prevalent conditions.What conditions prevail in our mids?A simple factor called Ego,whatever please us.And yet all our actions are based on those certain thoughts that survived.Wow.
Now I'm not implying that the speed of light is equal to the speed of thought.They may not be.But yet again,it's the
Theory of Relativity.
m is mass-mass of an object that can transfer energy(read as-receive, store and pass it on).Objects around are the same except that the energy that reverberates in it differs and accordingly giving that object certain characteristics.That's the only reason why plastic bags don't reproduce-because that kind of energy doesn't flow through them.Luckily for plastic bags,we humans generously make them in bulk.Ugh.Coming back,according to this analogy itself-Energy is also equal to the multiple of mass and sq of speed of thoughts.So all non-living objects have emotions?Yeah.And that's why people prefer having pet rocks instead of children.That's why it's okay to treat people like"dirt". All I am trying to say is that all your emotions affect the ones around you and the proverbial you.And remember we live in patterns.Still don't believe in Karma?It's time you face me.How long are you going to hide behind that flashy smile and intellectual witty statements gathered over the years?
Emotions are expression of energy.Take the case of the industrial revolution in England in the late 18th and early 19th century.Why did it have such an profound effect on the political and socio-economic conditions of England?Simply because the massive group of people believed in the concept.Why did the World wars create so much destruction?Because all the countries involved in it believed that war was the only way and they all achieved success in destroying the other nations while getting destroyed.I don't understand how one can say there is a lack of anything in this Earth!I mean,there is an abundance of people ,abundance of land and food ,abundance of water-It's just that these 'abundances' are not treated with grace or are assumed to be unwanted.Why?Yet again,because of our colored thoughts.When we are said to watch our words ,the teller has not a clue of what gift she has passed on.We have so many
anti-war campaigns.See,your brain has to imagine everything that it wants to relate to (unless it had been a part of your experiential library).So when your mind has to come up with an image for 'anti-war' ,it has to imagine what a war would look like and then create an image of what an anti of that would be like.This just distorts the mind and our energies too.So instead of supporting peace we (in a very twisted way)support war.Why do you not say -"I don't not hate you!" instead of "I love you!".It's simpler,right.Same way,make things simpler for your brain.Say pro-peace instead.Oh yeah,go hippies!=}
The black holes that fascinate many are expected to emit a thermal spectrum of radiation, and thereby lose mass.Because according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity mass is just highly condensed energy.
Black holes will thus shrink and evaporate over time. The temperature of this spectrum is proportional to surface gravity of the black hole, which in turn is inversely proportional to the mass.So large black holes thus emit less radiation than small black holes.Apparently a black hole that weighs the same as a car (~ 10-24 m) would only take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity more than 200 times that of the sun.Now that's beautiful.And what's more beautiful is that we people are like black holes.We keep sucking in things.So the bigger we get the longer we live.But the question is what are you attracting in you?How long till you understand that being icons of self indulgence is pathetic?
There is this exotic book I gifted myself on Valentines day.By Rob Brezsny,the book's name is Pronoia is the antidote for Paranoia.All of us know what Paranoia is and we have basked in it's light for too long now without our own awareness.But not a lot of us have a clue of what Pronoia is.

Pronoia is the itchy suspicion that the Universe is a conspiracy on your behalf.

From when did I get so lucky?Everyone hates me right!
Well ,who told you that?
It's so clear from everyones face I ever met!

And how many people have you met?
*Blank*
Stupid people.That's a reason why I could not stand people.But I have come to realize that people are also constituents of the Universe and my God is this Universe.At a point of time,I couldn't feel anything but tongues of numb pain comforting me.That's when this concept of Pronoia helped me feel alive.I'm a part of this Universe and without me this Universe would be incomplete.The Universe has done so much to keep me in a state of bliss.She gave me whatever I asked for-I asked for pain,for failure ,for love,for confined freedom and she gave generously.That's what you have been doing too.We asked for the presence of each other in our life.Inspite of feeling heady with all the lush generosity that covers us,we complain so much that we don't see the charm in what we have got.We asked for all the problems and simple pleasure in our lives.Are we ready to be grateful about it?I believe in Pronoia.I believe that everyone is in my life to make me joyous.There is a fine line between annihilating and inflating one's ego.What do you want?I don't want ego.I realize that the Universe had done so much because I am a part of the creation that she has so cunningly perfected.Why?Well the Universe wants pure bliss.She grants whatever her creations ask for because looking at her creations in a state of ecstasy makes her ecstatic.This Universe is meant to be for love,joy and bliss-destruction,maya,jealousy was meant to exist in our Universe's doppelgänger.How do I know?Well,atleast I believe in something.What do you believe in?
Think about it.And smile.
The thank -yous:
#All those who are a part of my Universe: My imaginary prince charming(I'm still waiting for a sign of you),70's sam, roy, masterni,my new pasta-making best-friend(Boy,we do need to get you a new name),my twin brother,teju,meow,pussy.You people are far to much a part of me to be someone else.
#Also Rangwala-who is an awesome writer.Please read his blog and this proves that I have cool friends-http://www.whytwoplustwoisnotfive.blogspot.com/
And Taher-when you get famous,thank me.

#If I didn't mention your name that doesn't mean your not a part of my Universe.You'd know it.And if you don't feel that way ,let me tell you that everything around me is a part of my Universe .Same as I'm a part of everything in this Universe.=D
