Best of the decade – the entirety of your function here!
I believe – and growing by the day if not by seconds, hours or minutes I’m getting to the threshold – if we have the will to change we can change.
Change that will make us free. but before any fucking change (can threaten us with freedom) – lets find out how it feels like when the four walls start to cave in albeit very very slowly * (re Parts 1 through 20). 1 thousand and 1 earth years approx equals an inch of cave-in. That’s how the math goes
Even though in the interim 1001 years our knowledge about reality and our supposed existence has increased exponentially, the reality we live in has rarely risen above the common man’s expectation to live, breathe and exist peacefully in harmonious coexistence without the dog eat dog syndrome throughout the history paved in the journey of ‘this’ human civilisation.
Maybe there’s an alternate reality where we do live in harmony, love and peace without the need to annihilate or self destruct; however the world line of our history does not show that. Maybe there is a way to change that within the minuscule hologram of infinite energy cycles that we exist.
Superposition, sum of all probabilities and the Six dimensions of reality
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of an atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
- Max Planck
Equal Probability of multiple realities
The sharp break from the older, classical physics that arose when we learned about quantum mechanics, is that in Newton’s day, his way of thinking about the universe was: You tell me how things are right now, and I will tell you with absolute precision how they will be in a minute or five minutes or an hour from now. It was absolute, definitive prediction.
Quantum mechanics came along in the early part of the 20th century and said: Actually that idea is not fully correct. That definitive prediction means nothing, absolute is only approximate. When you study the universe with greater precision, you learn that you can’t make definitive statements. The best you can do, according to quantum mechanics, is predict the likelihood, the probability of one outcome or another.
So if you’re studying, say, the motion of a little particle like an electron, the math of quantum mechanics might say there’s a 50 percent chance that the electron is over here and a 50 percent chance that it is over there. And that is the best you can do in terms of delineating where that particle will be.
Quantum mechanics says there’s this inevitable portion of the world that’s described in terms of probabilities.
But, here’s the puzzle. The idea that the world is governed by probabilities is strange enough. When you actually do the experiment to, say, figure out where that electron is, you always find it in one location or another (that is definitive reality as seen by the observer, Not fuzzy.
And indeed, if the math said there was a 50 percent chance it was one place and 50 percent at another, if you do that experiment 100 times, then pretty much, 50 times you find it one location and 50 in the other. So the math is borne out by the experiments.
The little dark secret
The little dark secret that doesn’t get, perhaps, as much play as it should is this:
When we study the mathematics of quantum mechanics, we still do not understand how to go from the fuzzy probabilistic description that the particle might be here, and it might be there – we don’t know how to go from that description to the single, definite, absolute reality that we see when we do the measurement.
We never find the particle partly here and partly there. We always find it definitely here or definitely there.
How do we go from the probabilities to the definite outcome?
People have struggled with that.
Back in the late 1950s, a fellow named Hugh Everett suggested a radical way to deal with this problem. He said – The idea that only one outcome happens in a given experiment, that’s just not right. He said: Follow the math of quantum mechanics. Take it very seriously. And it is telling us that there are two possible outcomes. The particle can be here or there.
Therefore, what happens is there are two universes. In one universe, the particle is here; in the other universe, it’s over there. And there’s a copy of you in each universe measuring that particle and thinking, incorrectly, that that particle’s unique location is the only reality. But, in fact, there are two of you thinking that. There are two realities, two parallel universes.
Now, I should say when you frame this in terms of the position of electron, it might sound kind of curious, but it also might seem, well, not that relevant to everyday life. Who really cares about where one electron is, here or there?
But when you take account of the fact that everything you think, everything you do, everything you experience amounts to particles moving around inside your body, moving around inside your brain, every aspect of reality has to do with how particles move, what we’re learning from quantum physics, if you take the math seriously, is that every possible reality consistent with the laws actually happens in its own separate universe.
All of physical matter, everything we have around us is the result of a frequency; what this means is if you amplify the frequency the structure of all matter would change.
Concept of matter
The concept of matter arose from the philosophy of our response. From that basic conception the understanding of matter was conceived in modern science. In the subatomic level reality behaves in accordance with the expectation of the observer. The atoms are particles that are whirling at lightening speeds across huge empty spaces and the particles are fluctuations of energy in a huge void of energy and information. When you can change the field the atoms are in (change the amplitude of vibration of an electron) you change the atom (of the mass) which are made of those atoms. So when we have feelings in our hearts we are changing the field that connects the stuff that everything is made of, we literally are altering the face of physical reality.

Where we start – The shape of things as they are and how ‘we change the face of physical reality’.
The deeper you dig the less you’re gonna like what you find
- Saying, unknown human origin
What’d ya say.. don’t dig? well yeah I dig ! sucking pj .. ain’t it ![]()
Sum of the Parts: OneMan
OneMan equates to nothing really. The point is can he do something which could change.. change the way we think, talk and really feel about each other.
Whether you are a cynic or a sinner, a poet or a puritan, a murderer or a prophet, a mad man or a simpleton – it’s about our safety-fault lines.
How safe are we on this journey and is fading out into obscurity and the final end (death) is our only fear in the real world?
All of us, humans having the same genetic code is programmed to contain the same depth of that innermost recess. The mind – is where we call the ‘heart’ lies (not the biological heart which need air and blood to function).
Now then if we all are so much in equal strengths inside (genetically) – so on the outside why is it we feel different, lost and at most times poles apart!?
Is it world order or universe-order that biological beings cannot be in resonance at single or multiple points of stretched time with ‘all for one and one for all behavior’
OR
Multi-dimensional behavior is more like a symphony of a multitude of instruments having similar genetic makeup playing and resonating in their own instrument space?
Creation, the grand purpose and OneMan
Is creation only a non ending loop of energy cycles corresponding to birth and ending with death with no constant defining moment of understanding of what this is all about?
Does Life (a biological linear progression) : represent : Time (a mathematical unit) to express elapsed life?
I say cause the passage of time is ‘visible’ only to biological beings with a enclosed meta physical container which we call mind, consciousness et all.
What is ‘Time’ if you don’t have – A ‘Mind’ to oversee the passage of Time? Or
Is it that really ‘Time’ equates to nothing – its all in the mind.. similar to how the slow passage of life into old age turn into regretful thoughts in the mind which make our deeds and follies look miserable and unbearable? Or
Is Time all we got when we wake up in to the dream?
AND
Is Time is all we loose when we make that grand exit?
Good ! Now then I must have fucked up your mind a bit… do you really care? Who does? Fucking loads of bull that’s what all this seems to be
But again there I go.
I firmly believe (in whatever firmness still exists) that OneMan is all it takes.
To build a beautiful, deep and wide emptiness such as our universe on the outside, you don’t really need to look elsewhere but inside the realms of the mind – the pulpit where all thoughts lie – the innermost recess where we live (breathe) and die.
There it is now! The only two constants which define biological existence – but without our mind to capture those two fleeting moments.
Two defining instances of human beings… we really have nothing to speak about! ‘Time’ starts for us when we get born and stops with us when we fucking ‘die’. Helpless bio-chemical creatures suspended in-between with fucked up minds.
But. Again OneMan is all that it takes.

Part 1. The love for power or the power of love
seems unlikely at most times – but it’s obvious the 2 strengths in human character also are the weakest links. Truth and honour go hand in hand remotely connected..as two ends floating around in the quagmire of humanity. Around in circles and spheres.
Truth – precisely what we don’t want to know.
Buds- lemme ask you something… So did you ever feel the urge not to want to know anything, like staying ignorant.. most often the only away to stay in peace – yeah? Which gives us the idea that everything that we don’t know, or worse – never made the slightest effort to know in fear of disturbing the status quo – could well possibly be the truth! Powerful yet simple I’d say. What you say buds?
Honor – thats the only thing we aren’t certain about in all the stuff we do everyday..
The dealings of us – that we do each and everyday of our lives. 24 hours by 365 in a year and just a shade bit more if it’s a leap! But who thinks about honor, or gives a fuck.. do you?
So if its not truth and honor what the fuck are we really bothered about buds?
‘Power – man! Isn’t that the answer or you must have asked the wrong question’.
Power is all that makes us go round and round. Power of your money and power of our thoughts, actions and prayers. The love of power dies everyday.. dies to generate that overwhelming feeling to possess something or someone or to cast ourselves on mirror images even if that image is your own. So what do we desperately need to feel powerful enough to wade through life..no prizes for guessing that one.
The love for power or the power of love.
There’s loads of honor thrust in equal measure. Selfishly selfless honorable love as powerful as a prick and as mighty as a sword.
Three cheers and two fucks thrown in indeed! Hurray!!

Part 2. Break up

But that word doesn’t even begin to describe what you are to me..

Part 3. Waking hours
Waking up begins with saying “am” and “now”. For the past, waking up has actually hurt. Cold realization that I’m still here slowly sets in.
Was never terribly fond of waking up. Never was the one to jump out of bed and greet the day with a smile
I used to want to punch people sometimes in the morning when they were so happy. I always used to say that only fools greet the day with a smile… that only fools could possibly escape the simple truth that now isn’t simply now.
It’s a cold reminder: one day later than yesterday, one year later than last year, and that sooner or later, it will come.
It takes time in the morning for me to become what I am supposed to become most part of the day, time to adjust to what is expected of me and how I was to behave. By the time I’ve dressed and added the final layer of polish on the now slightly stiff but quite perfect me, I know fully what part I’m supposed to play.
Looking in the mirror staring back at me, isn’t so much of a face as the expression of a predicament. Just get through the god damned day, buds. A bit melodramatic though, I guess.

Part 4. The original Siamese twins
The original Siamese twins?
Chang and Eng
They were joined at the chest
Remember how they died?
Mm.
Chang…died of a stroke
In the middle of the night
He was always the sickly one
He was always the one
who drank too much
When Eng woke up beside him…
And found that his brother was dead
He died of fright
Right there in the bed.
Does that answer your question?

Contact (1997)
Contact depicts intense debate occurring as a result of the apparent contact with aliens. Many clips of well-known debate shows such as Crossfire and Larry King Live are shown, with participants discussing the implications of ‘The Message,’ asking whether it is proof of the existence of alien life or of God, and whether science is encroaching upon religious ground by, as one believer puts it, “talking to your god for you.” The head of a religious organization casts doubt on the morality of building the Machine, noting that “we don’t even know whether [the aliens] believe in God.”

Part 6. The entirety of your function, here
Even to investigate what’s happening to you, you need to understand where you are. There is only one continuum on the other end of your line and it cannot be unsettled.
It’s a different reality captain, out here. This may be difficult for you to hear, but you are a hand on a clock, understand?
We set you, you move forward.
We reset you, you move again.
And that represents the entirety of your function here!
It’s slow in the beginning but you start to loose..try to alter the unchangeable, alter the continuum at the other end of your line!
What you need to understand is that you cannot alter the continuum of our reality within your source code!
And that is precisely when you start loosing more. More of yourself.
When you loose hope.
You do everything as if you are the last human here, or wherever it matters (to the ‘lucky’ rest).
You start to think again – if all this could have been different.
And you do feel the rest are ‘lucky’, huh. Surely you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Part 7. The World where everyone is right
In a country like india the true danger that’s killing us right now is that ‘everybody’s right’.
Just imagine a world where everyone is on the right – on their own terms. Well if everyone is right , God no ones wrong!
Fuck!
So simple yet so difficult for us to understand.
If we are old and free it’s simple enough to do everything we think is right (on our own terms), it does make us the monarch-of-all for those instances. Replace ‘we’ with individual, political group, corporate mnc or country. It works the same. Ask did you generalize? Answers’ an emphatic yes!
No rules – what we don’t accept guided by routine existence. Of course no rules is what ends up in reality when we go out deciphering life breaking choices, what is right at one moment in time and what’s wrong.
Gandhi was right and ‘possibly’ our moral science textbooks when we were very young.
Post Gandhi and the elusive moral science books, right almost always flow from our pockets deep or shallow or from the political correctness which usually is demonstrated day and night!
Maintain status quo, achieve long term immunity, get lazy, enjoy quite comforts and ever pervasive.. almost a ‘full-life’, hidden inside series of charade like selves – the alternate nomenclature of routine existence, in success or in failure.
Well the seed or the genesis is right there, the beginning of a reign of ‘silent-anarchy’. Leading to albeit slow but downright degradation of personal values and in consequence a total annihilation of ‘feeling-of-loss’ encouraged by ‘more the merrier’ ‘bigger the better’ syndrome; zip / vacant / nil / nada / zero empathy with no inner conscience [conscience (sic) that's supposed to keep humans within sane boundary of meaningful life and thoughtful spend] and contributing in part or as w(hole), to form a pass through tunnel at the end of which there will be no human race, capable of calling themselves human!
And this has been going on for a long time, the last 62 years of my country and seems like it’d go on for ever.
Ask me if you are happy?
Honestly I’m elated!

Part 8. The PathFinders !Operation overlord Briefing!
5-June-1944
Lieutenant Weaver: This is the briefing area for drop zone N.
If you don’t belong in the briefing area drop-zone N, you need to find your respective drop-zone briefing area.
All right, let’s go over it again. Our job is to ensure that thousands of US paratroopers land where they are supposed to.
Without a system our pilots will be pissing in the wind.. dropping our troops all over the french countryside.
At that point the airborne invasion will fail.
The solution. You.
The PathFinders.
Ahead of the entire invasion, we will be first ones to set foot on French soil. Once we touch down we will gave 30 mins to complete the following:
A. Locate our drop-zone
B. Get it lit so that our pilots can see it
And
C. Have our Eureka transmitter up and operational.
Now once transmitting, Eureka will transmit to the airborne invasion planes. The planes have been equipped with the Rebecca receiver directing them to us the exact location where to drop our troops. Thus beginning the invasion.
It’s Eureka to Rebecca. Eureka to Rebecca. And, you men from the 508th..your job is to ensure that the lights are setup and that the Eureka is up and operational.
You men from the 504, your only objective..is to keep them alive.
Last, you guys know that this mission has been called off in the past. And that there’s no guarantees that won’t happen again.
So, yes this may be your one-way ticket. If it is.. we just grow beards like Robinson Crusoe.
We assemble at 1600 hours. Go back to your quarters, get your gear and see you in the assembly area.
Dismissed.

9 were killed at the airport tonight.
They were all gone!

Part 10. Riots in the UK (Aug 2011)
London is waking up and so is Great Britain, possibly US will follow suit sooner or later.
Rising up to 3rd world realities now, unemployment, gap widening between have and have nots, zip/ nil / zero opportunities even after being educated.
1 job:50 applicants! Well we Indians know this for the last 62 years and counting. We live in a 1 job:10000 applicant syndrome.
So I wonder what would happen to poor British men and women folk at large if some of the other 3rd world/ not so better world / slightly struggling world / majorly struggling world realities start creeping in to your lives (will explain more another day).
Well reality check – go thro’ the links below.
During and aftermath of ‘young people’ riots across UK here’s some local newspaper links:
Liberal dogma spawned generation of brutalised youths
Behind England’s riots a violent and entitled generation of British young people
UK riots: why respectable people turned to looting
Honestly it’s a load of shame on the people of the great land of Britain – the cradle of rock renaissance, the start of the new world order of 19th and 20th century, the land of Shakespeare and Winston Churchill.
As if all the rest aren’t aware – the young generation of the millennium across UK haven’t really faced one generation of struggle and never fought for a nation, did they?
But then the youth took to the streets in Aug in quite neighborhoods and went in to burn themselves down. ‘Save yourself the trouble folks before the other unlucky ones fall prey to this show of popular strength!’.
And no-one really told on what you are doing now is a even worse fate you’ve chosen for yourself – rathe die a slave in the roman empire at the height of it’s glory or get gunned down by the Nazis from the last world war.
What you are facing now is what we have seen all our lives (you seem to forget so quickly that I’m an Indian).
If it’s your economic condition the reason for all this violence, arson and looting then know ye all:
this is called wealth equalization or depravation evening out! Welcome to the real world!
Unfortunate but needed!

Part 12. About life, death, why do humans exist and other trivial matters
Dear Dr. MK,
I’m a avid reader of your work by accident I guess and I’m stuck into it now and perhaps for evermore..
I’m just another human who desperately is in need to know. I have a happy family my wife and kid but my life is all torn up internally with only one burning desire: I wish to know why we are? What is the purpose of humans in the history of this and other universes?
It seems we just exist like all the 73% of dark and the rest of perceptible matter which we can see around us and out there. It looks like beneath all of this there is really no grand design. It’s has been like this and will always be.
Humans don’t matter at all. Just that there is a intricate design of our brain and there is an exquisite bio-chemical entity DNA which shapes ‘living’ creatures, don’t really prove that there is any ulterior motive in all that exists.
We are being pushed towards a futile existence theory in whatever the scientific community (from Einstein to Michio Kaku) has come up with though the answers are mind boggling for a lay earth-man to decipher and comprehend. Hence God like hand or God executed creation seems easy for our brains to live with.
But even if we had God living say next door to us or scientists become Gods later in our evolution, the same question needs to be answered emphatically.
Why do we exist? If we did not what would have been different?

Part 13. My Dear Son
My Dear Son,
You have to do what is good and what is right and that defines your existence – every instance.. every time no matter where you live or where you might die!
While I say this I know perhaps I’m putting you under an enormous burden, which I could not redeem myself in my own lifetime.
However, in your journey it is not necessary that someone who is good today (or seems to be), good to you and your family.. would remain so in their lifetime. And the same perhaps applies to you as well. We just don’t know this at any instant.
Machines need to be oiled to work accurately (a.k.a. servicing) and human minds need to be oiled, lubricated with what is good and what is right … Time after time after time (call it cleansing, overhauling). So in future worlds being ‘humane’ does not evolve as an insurmountable challenge but rightly defines our existence.
My Dear Son, human mind is just like the weather.
And just as the weather sometime we are cold inside as in winter chill while at other times we feel like an autumn fall breeze.
At times I guess the summer winds start blowing away our thoughts across barren lands. Without tree or shade trying to hide our fears under the ever changing light of mirage and sand dunes – we rest only to wake up our soul for a while.
But it is important you know this and figure out the truth for yourself.
Remember – a truth is a truth and nothing you do can change that.

Part 14. In Mourning
They say you can only begin to mourn once you know the facts
Well that’s what puzzles me really if you ask me. It is evident that facts are not easy to come by when you are lying mostly around the inner circle but on the outer edge facts are all that there is!
On the outer edge life is mostly different!
If you discount what is factually true and play evasive in the face of demonstrated data, I say it wouldn’t take a moment for the circling wheel to throw you into ‘vastness’ at a sheer tangent.
Facts are as bare as evil itself and we lay naked in front!
Helplessly hoping..
And we mourn for the dead barely knowing that mourn we shall until the next eternity, when all truths in heaven, earth n’ hell stand right in front naked as children, shameless as the dove.
And we keep on pretending as the naive sons we are, that we don’t even know the morning of our mourning is long overdue, long past memories and myths.
So here I say:
Hail thee the children of heaven!
Hail thee the gods of earth and our past!
Hail the mourners filled with overflowing love of life!
Hail thee the children of eternity!

Part 15. Life is funny
Yeah. Life is funny.. and it’s hard. But it’s also strange, I think it can be so different than you think.
I remember I was just a… just a kid in a before age club..that set up this beautiful gigantic red n’ yellow Ferris wheel, that lit up the night sky.
They called it..the Monster. As a kid I thought it was about the coolest thing I’d seen and I can’t wait to ride it.
Sure enough when I finally got my chance I got so scared and nauseous I threw up all over myself before it even made one full turn.
And that’s what I mean. And my life it’s always been the harmless stuff that hurts the most.
But where’s the things so horrible you can’t even imagine it..it’s usually a lot easier than you think.
You never really know, until you’re the one standing there
Love conquers all.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Faith can move mountains.
Love would always run away.
Everything happens for a reason.
Where there is life, there’s hope!
Hope
they gotta tell you something.

Part 16. More about life changing decisons and how we do it
1. Do you really think a group of selfish people can change?
A group is selfish when more than 50% of the team become a self obsessed, facebook generation, thinking what they are doing is in all honesty the right thing to do.
Imagine a world where everyone is on the right – on their own terms. Well if everyone is right God no ones wrong. In a country like india that’s the true danger that’s killing us right now.
2. I think we are what we want to be. Laws can change but laws cannot initiate change. India has the laws it needs but we are the same. Collectively we want to litter our streets. How can laws change that!?
3. And the less spoken about Anna Hazare the better. It’s a lot of goose-bums and good sense. I agree. But what is stopping the same Indian citizens to be honest and show integrity in every aspect of their lives. Nothing. But we are not.
If I tell you ‘No rules (read laws) from tomorrow’. You won’t agree right. No rules – is what we don’t accept guided by routine existence.
Of course no rules is what ends up in reality when we go out deciphering choices, what is right at one moment in time and what’s wrong.
Gandhi was right and ‘possibly’ our moral science textbooks when we were very young. Post Gandhi and the elusive moral science books, right almost always flow from our pockets deep or shallow or from our political correctness (you can also call it mass behaviour, herd mentality) which usually is demonstrated day in and night out.
…About Anna Hazare..did not mean to criticize the person he is, or the movement he had been frontending (or the law he seems to have enforced LokPal bill) but the people flocking him like herds make me feel sick. These guys don’t belive in a thing Anna stands for but has the demeanour to go and stand in the same circle of events! wow! I felt sad for Anna.
1. Do you think the govt wants to change and cannot really change? Ohh… Ok.
2. Do you think the Indian people really wish they change but oops.. they cannot really change? you know what I mean toungue in cheek. Hmmm… I still wonder sometimes.
Ok. Let’s talk in about a 20 years from now and do a status check, let’s say. viola… maybe we have all changed indeed. Big(ger) money, eco friendly cars and houses, planes which can go above the stratosphere (nearest thing to space flight), stadium size malls, mission to the sun (Aditya ISRO mission), highest illiteracy among all nations with record breaking poverty lines, mega/giga/penta sized divide or (ever expanding) gap never bridging between rich and poor… et all. But would it be in the interim 20… we still searching for answers to questions 1 & 2. No one knows. But what I know is there was never a number 3 ![]()

Part 18. Just you & me – knowing the unknown
Well it was like any other Sunday. Only a bit different.. we were to travel outside the city the following day.
Usually weeks don’t start with a travel for us but this week it would. Any given week starts off with school and office work schedule, you know, the sort of things that pile on our nerves.
To that effect this week was different; they call it a welcome change. I manage to steal the wry end of a smile.
What happened next, won’t call it destiny or some other fucked up life changing incident. It would sound so I guess. It was entirely human made to suffer to inflict pain on other human beings.

Part 19. Hellispaved
Well there I go again…
What’s the world meant to be
As time pass us by
Do we all turn out
mean and degenerate
Won’t you tell me why
What do we do
When the clocks
Turn back on us
Live on sorrow
Do we
Run to shelter
In the ground and on the hills
Make amends to live
Out the nightmare
The long and short of it
While hellispaved
And our spoils and ruins
Breathes untold
Do I sound like the evil one
Sing the tune I never could have sung
Who owns the way
Out of this dream..out of the dream
Never really sure where I want to be
To feel the hurt you’ve hidden so well
Inside your mind or in your screams
While shreds of memory
Unforgettable yesteryear’s yearning
Hang lifeless on my sleeve
Still-life captures in motion
Who am I to judge
Or to perceive
Who am I to feel the sound
And call out the way
Out of this dream…
The way out of the dream

Part 20. Slow Dream
“Maybe it’s out of spite for you and your slow dream” – John H Mallory (from Giù la testa or Duck, you sucker also known as A Fistful of Dynamite and Once Upon a Time… the Revolution)
Actor: James Coburn
Dir: Sergio Leone
Part 21. One-World paradox
The point is what we know, what we keep learning, and what we need to do and act now as opposed to what we end up doing finally. That thread has remained disconnected for a long while. We as a species, the Homo sapiens sapiens have been quite a failure up until now to convert much of our thoughts, imperative needs of the hour into cleverly carved out actions which would eventually turn our world the earth into a better place to live in.
The reason for this dismal abject failure is our incessant undying greed.
Greed of all things encompassing. Greed of money, power, economic and Geo-political superiority. However, there’s another class of greed which exists in the real world, albeit of a different kind.
It’s the greed for intellectual overdrive, greed to feed our super-monstrous egos on a healthy diet of inactivity and brooding anger and the super greed of ‘em all – our greed to be the high priest (the holier than thou) and hide ourselves from truths we don’t wish to be heard or propagated beyond our minds.
If you’re wondering what does money (which is mostly associated with greed) – got to do with this!
Well, money is just a substitute for what I call the Baseline Greed
- the baseline greed work’s in it’s own simple way… If you can’t get enough money to feed that greed happy, it would take the form of intellect, thought, pride and what not to feed that greed and make your hunger go away!
So be it
———-
Money in the bank
Comes with love in my heart,
Pride in your mind
Is higher that I fly.
Painless is my night
When your happiness comes to sleep,
Dewdrops and tears
Look so much alike
In our dreams
That I sleep.. And
I sleep
And I sleep.
In the process we miss that this greed of an enveloped superiority is completely misplaced. There’s no other living species on earth until now who can think and act like us the Homo sapiens sapiens. So in effect we end up being a single race competing against our own over what we have created for ourselves. Wealth, power, politics and our mind-games… None of these are natural elements so none of these would exist if we don’t exist!
I call this the ‘one world paradox’. The almost narcissistic fight within for wealth, power, a piece of land, so we can get eventually blinded far removed from what we have known until now – a glimpse of ‘true wisdom’ as opposed to knowledge. That the Homo sapiens sapiens actually do not matter! We might be gone in an instant from the multiverse we live in and no one would really notice (except the last unhappy us). Fact is – this thinking species – ‘we’ live in a multiverse space where thousands of billions of galaxies move around and tens of billions of earth like earths with homo unlike sapiens ver 1.0 or ver 99.n may exist in what we call love, harmony and something known as peaceful co-existence.
We have a faint clue but to one of their possible goals. The constant search for infinite wisdom as opposed to our ‘conquest of wealth’ and ‘devastating power’. Death power and wealth power! How foolishly melodramatic when you think in today’s context of what we know – that our collective conquest of wealth, power and superiority is completely irrelevant.
Unbelievable but true!

Part 22. Untitled
So where do we come in
And when shall we meet
Have been waiting out my life
On this never ending sea
Hope could carry on
See the moonlight in your eyes
In Time to catch the shine
Glitter through temporal breeze
Is it the last dream
Before dawn?
Is it the last time we see
Am I still waiting over
Doing time on my own
Remembering games and tunes
Smell of grass
Over paths no one ever had flown
And no one ever shall be
” ‘Tis the city of lights
Not glitter nor sand or sea.. ”
So when you had it all
Seen it through and through
You keep still unmoved
No hate hurt or anger
Just echoes of sound
Ringing velvet
Frozen timeless
Burning you try to set me free

Part 23. Epitaph
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams?
Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying.

Part 24. Moonchild
Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
of the willow.
Talking to the trees of the
cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the
night-birds song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain.
She’s a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden.
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours.
Sailling on the wind
in a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
with the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child.

Laws of Nature and the Origin of our Universe
If nature is governed by laws, then the following questions arise:
1. What are the origin of these laws?
2. Are there any exceptions to the laws i.e. miracles?
3. Is there only 1 set of possible laws? Did God play dice?
All laws of nature are the mathematical expressions of external reality that exists independent of the observer who sees it (humans are not needed to proove that the laws of physics are indeed correct!).
Our understanding of the existing set of physical laws, tell us that there are no miracles or exceptions to the laws of nature.
The laws are uniform given a set of initial conditions. So if God indeed created all laws to start with, did he have any latitude in choosing the laws?
Or it seems like God indded played dice. It turns out that the most fundamental constants in our theories appears so fine-tuned that if they were altered a even by a modest degree, then the universe in which we live in would be very different and life as we know it would cease to exist.
Across the universe we are just a tiny little creation when you compare the vastness of what is going on out there. If universe it self had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But researches in physics precludes the necessity of a creator essentially – our universe is 1 of many universes with different initial conditions. each universe is self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end, it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?
If there are untold numbers of planets in the galaxy, it’s less remarkable that there’s one with conditions for human life. One will have laws of physics like ours. There’s no need for God to explain it.
Edward Witten and M-Theory!
Mr. Edward Witten is the world reknowned mathematician, the proponent of M-Theory.
No one practically knows what M stands in M-Theory – but according to Edward Witten it may be of the following 3:
Magic
Mystery
Matrix
or
As other scientists say M may stand for an inverted W!
M-Theory is actually a unified solution. String theory originally provided independently 5 distinct string theories – M-Theory unfied all the 5 distinct solutions and provided a separate and mathematically valid and unified theory.
String theory predicts 10 dimensions i.e. 3 dimensional space + 1 dimension of time + 6 dimensions of strings which are curled up very small in our 3 dimensional universe.
M-Theory adds 1 extra dimension to make it an 11 dimensional universe. Now 11 dimensions can also be mentioned as 11 degrees of freedom. To understand what M-Theory stands for we must first understand what a Graviton is. A Graviton is actually 1 unit of the weak force of gravity which may travel across membranes to parallen universes predicted by M-theory. Graviton is actually a close ended string which is not tied to our 3 dimensional universe.
Whereas, an EM (Electromagnetic) force or the other 2 fundamental forces like strong nuclear force or the weak nuclear force are individually open ended strongs which are tied to our 3 dimensional universe.
M-Theory goes on to predict Super-symmetry ..which we will talk about subsequently. So as a result of M-Theory now instead of 3 fundamental particles we have 4.
Electron E
Photon P
Graviton G
and
Sparticle S !
CERN and FermiLab are both trying out desperately trying to find out the sparticle S which would be the most fundamental discovery of the 21st century of mankind if and when it happens.
