The Insanity of our current mode of existence - Making an Example

an example of current human paradigm of thinking and how lost it is. Taken from msnbc live news.

“Scientists say the northern lights on Saturn are unlike anything they've ever seen, on Earth or elsewhere in the solar system. Infrared imagery from the Cassini orbiter, released today to accompany research published in the journal Nature, only adds to the mystery at the top of the ringed planet.

Saturn's north pole is already home to a bizarre six-sided cyclone that planetary scientists haven't yet figured out. That observation marked the first time a hexagon had been seen in atmospheric patterns. The northern auroral displays, monitored by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer, also go against the conventional wisdom.”

Why do we need to figure out anything? Why do we always try to understand everything around us,and far and beyond, when we have not understood ourselves yet? We realize not what a petty perspective from thought we humans have of our universe, and yet we think we know and think we can know.

Some may say that this process of scientific exploration and inquisition will finally end in realizing our true nature; that by knowing about everything we will know the nature of our existence and discover our truth. Even if mankind managed to scientifically isolate the god particle, the smallest particle of which the entire universe is comprised, will this let us know who we are, why we are here, what we are, what all of this is..why all of this is? Is there any point in dedicating our lives in pursuit of material wealth, knowledge, technological progress, better cars and easier, automatic machinery, when the pollution, chaos, pain and confusion of our world continually increase without apparent bound? Will it show us sense where the world finally lives as one, famine a distant memory, war and bloodshed a demon of the past?

“This is how the world is and this is how it has always been”. Yes, because this is how we have always thought. We have always looked outside rather than inside. We have always tried to label rather than let be. We have always been chaotic in our minds, so our existence so far has been chaotic. There is a path forward, there is a mode of existence that can change all this. It lies in mastering and understanding ourselves, not in attempting to conquer the unconquerable. How inane are we, that we assume it possible to become large enough in our acquired book knowledge that we may comprehend from the highest view that which created the universe? How can the created ever equal the creator?

“go against the conventional wisdom'' Apparently we are so lost that we have lost concept of what the difference is between wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom is a shine-through sense, an intuitive, universal sense. Wisdom is what exists in reference to how we live our lives, how we should live our lives, and general relativity and sense of existence itself, from a completely non-scientific perspective. Knowledge is accumulated thought understanding, very superficial, very summarized. Our knowledge of an atom is the electrons and protons in it – what IS the nature of existence of a proton? What IS a proton we do not know, only that it is a tiny positively charged particle. This is knowledge, not wisdom. Without knowledge, there is little technological progress. Without wisdom, life makes little sense and we are chaotically thrown into senselessness, pointlessness, and without it we rob ourselves of joy and truth in favor of pain and confusion in the name of 'understanding, acquiring knowledge'. Life is directionless and pointless without wisdom. Evidently from this text, and from human reality today in general, we have lost concept of wisdom altogether. Is it a wonder we are so lost and in so much pain?

The first step in solution and true learning is to awaken to the fact that the path you are on is astray and chaotic. This is mankind's next step in its evolution. Not organic, but of the consciousness itself. See the misery of your world. YOUR world. Observe it everyday. Watch vexation and frustration in the faces of the drivers in the cars around you. Watch how over the smallest of things you and those known to you get angered or pained or cause anger or pain, flooding them and those known to them with negativity. Do you want this? Awaken to the senselessness, discard all you thought you knew: it is very evidently insane. You are part of it. You are currently insane. Awaken to this.

It is of utmost importance to your fulfillment in this short life you live, and of utmost importance to mankind. Even if you are the only one left behind in the old mode of existence, humanity cannot progress. Humanity is currently progressing, but towards doom and devastation, not towards light and fulfillment. You will have to start your process of awakening to this some day or the other if your life is to be filled and if humanity is to absolve itself. Start Now.
