Every man thrives to accomplish and have their own perception of the 3. One man's good can be another man's evil. Right and wrong is, in aspect, wrong and right. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Speculative-and-Theoretical/4200320092003390785 Tue, 03 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Speculative-and-Theoretical/4200320092003390785 This work attempts to show that Bohmian mechanics is vague and absurd on two basic grounds. The first of the two grounds states that no idea of (spatial) force, e.g. gravitational or magnetic force or the quantum potential, can be a substitute for any simple or, moreover, complex intelligent (spatial) structure, e.g. a neural structure found in human brain, as the concept of force is a mere abstraction, a vague idea, which does not provide (spatial) mechanistic explanations. (For example, Newton's idea of gravitational force fails to explain "action at a distance".) Therefore, a region of space and time, though containing quantum and possibly infinite number of super…quantum potentials, simply cannot contain a neural order, for example, unless containing an appropriate (spatial) "structure" representing the order. The second ground considers the Bohmian mechanistic idea-remark that "the (spatial) implicate domain", corresponding to the (spatial) quantum potentials, could equally be called Idealism, Spirit, Consciousness. This idea/remark means that Bohmian mechanics considers consciousness to be spatial which, however, contradicts the NSTP (Non Spatial Thinking Process) theoretical axiom- "self-evident truth" that 'consciousness is non-spatial'. In short, Bohmian mechanics is vague and absurd. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Bohmian-Mechanics---Vague-and-Absurd/4200320092003372294 Mon, 02 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Bohmian-Mechanics---Vague-and-Absurd/4200320092003372294 The twentieth century saw many new developments in philosophy.

Upanishad is a Sanskrit term broken in three: upa- (near), ni- (down), sad- (to sit). It means to sit near the guru. The term thus emphasizes the esoteric nature of the texts, not intended for public teaching, but restricted to the confidentiality of personal instruction. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/A-God-Shorn-of-Worship--and-Still-the-All/4200320092003360125 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/A-God-Shorn-of-Worship--and-Still-the-All/4200320092003360125 Kill them with kindness. My Mother used to tell me this when someone would get the best of me. The word politics means to influence. You are a politician. When someone is giving you a difficult time, kill them with kindness. You will eventually influence them to be like you. You do not want them to influence you to be like them. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/A-Wrong-Way-of-Thinking/4200320092003364934 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/A-Wrong-Way-of-Thinking/4200320092003364934 This work attempts to demonstrate the significant possibility (as contrast to the superhyperbolic or the least possibility) in an apparently inanimate thing, like a stone, being conscious. According to the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP (Non Spatial Thinking Process) theory, any spatial, and therefore illusive-virtual, entity may have (real non-spatial) feelings-states of consciousness associated with it, provided it has an appropriate conceptual representation in the superhuman engine. A stone, for example, being an apparently spatial entity, may have conceptual representation in the superhuman mind-NSTPs-engine so as to be conscious. Thus, it may be that a broken stone feels pain till its death and then its pieces become conscious. The kind-type of states of consciousness associated with a stone depends entirely upon the kind-type of conceptual representation it has in the superhuman engine. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/A-Stone-May-Be-Conscious/4200320092003364388 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/A-Stone-May-Be-Conscious/4200320092003364388 The superultramodern solipsism is a strong metaphysical semi-solipsistic position constituted of some ideas in superultramodern science and philosophy. The first idea or strand is the NSTP theoretical metaphysical semi-solipsism, the position that within the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP theory 'I' and 'the superhuman mind' are the only material entities that exist, for the non-existence of other non-superhuman minds simply makes the universal design (i.e. the superhuman engine) simpler, as the engine needs no additional intelligence-information to create a variety of specific spatial illusions through multiple (non-superhuman) NSTPs. The second strand further sees the superhuman design and or designer, through an astrological framework, as a personal philosophical questioning supermind, the mind which, apparently being highly reasonable, has further no good reason to create tremendous suffering through the existence of other non-superhuman minds which are simply unable to answer its profound philosophical questions. The third strand is a composite of two mutually complementary basic feelings that this miraculous thing called consciousness exists, and that it is particularly 'I' who is conscious, and thus other entities, at least other non-superhuman entities, might be unconscious, and that Truth would always be different from how it commonsensically appears to be. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Superultramodern--SUM--Solipsism---The-Simpler-Universal-Design--The-Personal-Philosophical-Ques/4200320092003363441 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Superultramodern--SUM--Solipsism---The-Simpler-Universal-Design--The-Personal-Philosophical-Ques/4200320092003363441 Your ego is not your friend.

Opportunities may also come our way but we fail to cease the moment to make it happen. There are four things in life that cannot return to us once they presented. These things can either be positive or negative situations. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Four-Things-That-Cannot-Returned-To-You/4200320092003352605 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Four-Things-That-Cannot-Returned-To-You/4200320092003352605 People are content with ignorance nowadays (it's just the way it is, turned out to be), go off on a tangent over simple things, and overlook the big; clumsy they are, misunderstood they say (often); oh yes they are, if you are saying no to this.

If you do not learn to use your mind to expect something good to happen, it really does not matter. Mark Twain said over one hundred years ago, "It is not what you do not know that will hurt you the most, it is what you think you know, and it just isn't so." http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/It-Is-Just-The-Opposite/4200320092003357379 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/It-Is-Just-The-Opposite/4200320092003357379 Feelings are energy. Blocking, or stuffing our feelings creates enormous short-circuits in our bodies. These short-circuits are the root cause of stress. Stress is the root of many of our most common diseases, including depression and addictions. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/We-Are-Pure-Energy/4200320092003357177 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/We-Are-Pure-Energy/4200320092003357177 The beggar boy has a miserable life but a sense of rejuvenation for a new life makes him confident. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Awakening-Of-A-Sense-Of-A-New-Life-In-A-Beggar-Boy/4200320092003354133 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Awakening-Of-A-Sense-Of-A-New-Life-In-A-Beggar-Boy/4200320092003354133 In my country, Denmark, we used to believe that our flag, the DANNEBROG, was given to us by God on 15 June 1219. On that day our king, Valdemar II (1202-41), who was a Crusader tried to christianize the Estonian people by his sword. However, he was surprised by the brave Estonians who were about to win the battle when the Danes regained hope and strength by the news that a flag, namely the Dannebrog, had fallen from the skies as a git from God. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Symbol-Of-A-Nation/4200320092003353839 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Symbol-Of-A-Nation/4200320092003353839 What good is it to live life in a bubble afraid of life.

As per the NSTP theory, the existence of the superhuman mind (i.e. NSTPs) is responsible for the orderly existence of the non-superhuman mind(s) (i.e. NSTPs).These superhuman NSTPs, representing the empirical laws or design of the (non-spatial) material universe, could be called as the design (superhuman) NSTPs. This design came into existence due to some designer (superhuman) mind (i.e. NSTP), which no longer exists. Further, there should be some other design (superhuman) NSTPs responsible for the orderly existence of the designer (superhuman) NSTP, and so on. Such is supposed to be the nature of the evolution of the non-spatial (material) universe. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Evolution-of-the-Non-Spatial-Universe---The-NSTP-Theoretical-Non-Spatial-Universal-Evolution/4200320092003350287 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/The-Evolution-of-the-Non-Spatial-Universe---The-NSTP-Theoretical-Non-Spatial-Universal-Evolution/4200320092003350287 W. B. Yeats' poem, Lapis Lazuli has for its themes the recurring rise and fall of civilizations, the impending end of our civilization, and the triumph of art and philosophy over the tragedy of events.The opening stanza focuses on modern times. Even worse than the impending destruction are those hysterical women who reject painting, music and poetry, all "gay" art, in favour of politics. These arts are called gay since they have the power of transfiguring tragedy into tragic joy. The hysterical women are tired of the artist's gaiety because they prefer action to contemplation, politics to art. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Lapis-Lazuli---Transmutation-of-Tragic-Defeat-into-Tragic-Joy/4200320092003350217 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/Lapis-Lazuli---Transmutation-of-Tragic-Defeat-into-Tragic-Joy/4200320092003350217 In the case of an average person, in whom the mind is constantly active, desires and thoughts pour out without a stop, the time between two thoughts is very small, very very small. For those who are not so often assailed by desires, the thought traffic being less, kshana is extended. In the case of an enlightened being, who is in a state of no-mind, in whom there are no thoughts, kshana is infinite. http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/When-the-Mind-Stops--Time-Stands-Still/4200320092003350211 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.content.onlypunjab.com/Article/When-the-Mind-Stops--Time-Stands-Still/4200320092003350211
