To Be and To not to Be

Marriam Webster dictionary has today preferred to explain the meaning of a word, "hypermnesia", which means abnormally vivid and complete memory. Some public intellectuals refer it with "elephantine memory". Memory is a unique apparatus of our brain which preserves many a subtle emotional and intellectual phenomenons at the same time it is always ready to erase many a minute details we often pass through. The logus of memory and memorial ceremonies are revered around the world, reason being, memory is regarded as the foundational leap from animal kingdom which differentiates humans from instinctual life-cycle of mysterious nature. Memory, for a yogi, not a obstacle but a journey through which a yogi transcends it, to reach at pure consciousness. Memory is quintessential for a scientific journey of humans; it is a deep and pervasive source of pleasure and pain. Memory, in that sense, loves to be filled with what is available. If one aspires to achieve some pleasurable pursuits, one cannot achieve it at the cost of no hallownes and pain. Memory keeps humans alive, makes alarm if there is any sort of danger if it appeared in past as well. Memory is undoubtedly a theoretical and informational foundation of our civilisation. It reinvigorates itself through cleaning what has just passed through. That's how we say that the time is a great healer. Actually it is not the time that is healer rather the memory itself.

What lies beyond the memory? Perhaps, a zero, a voidness, and there only, one transcends to the binary of pleasure and plain. Completeness is not a status of life or death. To be completed, this ambiguous process, makes the life livey and true in relation to its decay. Life is meaningful in its death and vice-versa is equally true. Life and death are the same thing. To be or to not be is a journey. Factcity is always transient. Memory is always expanding and decaying in a same cyclical zone. And there is no full stop of it. Memory is a process of to be, and to not to be. Beyond memory there is a possibility of child!

The Physical Basis of Conscious Life: A Synthesis of William James's Physiological Psychology

I Introduction: Bridging Physiology and Psychology William James, in his landmark work The Principles of Psychology, provides a foundational framework connecting the brain's physiological mechanisms to the purposive, selective, and unified nature of conscious mental life. This blog analyzes James’s synthesis, which grounds psychological phenomena in the material workings of the nervous system without reducing consciousness to a mere epiphenomenon. We will explore his hierarchical model of the brain, which evolves from simple reflex actions in the lower nerve centers to the complex, deliberative functions of the cerebrum. Key themes include the role of the cerebrum as an organ of foresight and prudence, the physiological mechanism of habit as the process by which experience physically imprints itself upon the brain’s plastic matter, and consciousness's essential function as a “selecting agency” that is causally efficacious in steering the organism toward its own interests.

Martin Heidegger's Deconstruction of the History of Ontology

I Introduction In the opening pages of his magnum opus, Being and Time, Martin Heidegger resurrects a question he argues has been buried for millennia, framing his entire project with an epigraph from Plato’s Sophist: “For manifestly you have long been aware of what you mean when you use the expression ‘being’. We, however, who used to think we understood it, have now become perplexed.” This is no mere academic exercise but a deliberate reawakening of what Heidegger argues is the most fundamental and, paradoxically, the most forgotten question in the history of Western thought. For Heidegger, a pervasive “forgetfulness of Being” has characterized philosophy since antiquity, where the initial, vibrant inquiry into what it means “to be” solidified into a series of unexamined dogmas. The question was not answered and then set aside; rather, it fell into obscurity, concealed by the very traditions that were supposed to preserve it. This blog argues that Heidegger's critical "dest...

The Glory of Belief Industry

Disappearance of questions is the pre-condition of artificial certainty. Therefore, it is profitable investment to establish and sustain the belief industry. This industry produces the efficient Man whose substratum is not the divine soul or mental faculty but a non-thinking mind which militantly conform the group solidarity of the masses. When answers are easily available and generated by the Artificial Intelligence, who will take the pain for thinking and unthinking or deliberating to develop logical capacity or for establishing the paradigm of truth? As Ashis Nandy explains the creative process which requires to meditate with the questions and to remain with the questions for a longer period of time to create and unveil the mask of deception. The artistry in epistemic creativity necessitates the patience caring of the questions. The cultivation and exploration of questions and mitigated skepticism to unravel what is said and unsaid, the expressions and silences. Even so called Dark ...
