Leaving You With Einstein’s Thoughts
There is something about this mesmerizing and mystically marvellous consciousness, a very cardinal idea of human life, about which I can never have enough. Talking about consciousness, I surely cannot forget to mention something, which Einstein said about it. This has great utility here, when we are talking about how everything starts and ends with consciousness. If ever, there happens to be a Theory of Everythingness, about which Einstein always was thrilled about, I am growingly becoming sure that it shall have to do with our perfect and total understanding of the idea of consciousness. This hypothesis of loneliness being a hugely facilitative time-space realism for empowerment and wellness, gets a major support, when we talk about what Einstein said about consciousness.
Einstein said, ‘No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.’ What Einstein talks about consciousness and what ancient wisdom also did; seems to be the same. Yes, we are talking about the mystical marvels of our magical brains and the intangibility of consciousness, which it creates for us. Einstein termed consciousness as an optical delusion. Since his declaration, humanity has known a lot about consciousness and has also begun to accept. First time in the history of humanity, we are in a position to see things from a Level of Consciousness, which was unavailable since thousands of years of our journeys, battling with so many crucial questions of life. As Einstein said, we have had so many questions about ourselves and the world we lived but answers were either not coming or they were just a manipulation of human ingenuity to fill in gaps with something smart.
Lewis Thomas said, ‘Only two centuries ago, we could explain everything about everything, out of pure reason, and now most of that elaborate and harmonious structure has come apart before our eyes. We are dumb..... We have discovered how to ask important questions, and now we really do need, as an urgent matter, some answers. We now know that we cannot do this any longer by searching our minds, for there is not enough there to search, nor can we find the truth by guessing at it or by making up stories for ourselves. We cannot stop where we are, stuck with today's level of understanding, nor can we go back. I do not see that we have any real choice in this, for I can see only the one way ahead. We need science, more and better science, not for its technology, not for leisure, not even for health and longevity, but for the hope of wisdom which our kind of culture must acquire for its survival.’
The key idea, which comes out of Einstein’s opinion about Levels of Consciousnesses is that since long, we have faced problems, which is one level of our consciousness. However, this same level of consciousness cannot help us attain solutions. We need to shift to a higher level of consciousness. This higher consciousness is holistic, assimilative and integrative in its perspective and accepts realism from a singular perspective of objective logic.
Now that modern science has made us know so much about how our brains work, humanity has landed at such a Level of Consciousness, which is surely much higher and qualitatively different from what we had in the past. This new consciousness level, which we have managed because of our scientific understanding of our brains, has almost all answers and they are the true ones. As we understand the brain mechanism and its functional mystery, we are looking at answers of age-old problems with new knowledge of the 3Cs. The knowledge of brain has engendered the new wisdom of consciousness, cognition and causality, which has many true answers as well as the right perspectives of possible true answers.
As Einstein said, not knowing about certain realism creates a layer of consciousness, which manufactures troubles and problems for most of us. Knowing the same realism and its multidimensional mechanism empowers us and lands us on a higher platform of consciousness, which can then design and devise solutions. This is very practical prescription for contemporary humanity and its troubles. We have talked about this in detail in this book. Loneliness and its dysfunctional imagery in our populist perceptions emanate out of our age-old beliefs about realism. However, when we approach the same issue with a higher level of consciousness, the cognition changes and this creates a new causality, which accepts that loneliness is not a trouble, but a hugely facilitative tool of our higher consciousness.
Understanding about our brain is the new level of consciousness, which Einstein talked of, where solutions are engendered. It has to be embraced with learned and practiced humility of compassionate acceptance that in most moments of our life, we are mostly a function of our subconscious selves – a state or layer of consciousness, where most actions and behaviours are auto-mode processing. It is an action-reaction mechanism our brain is designed for. However, the same brain has also evolved to accept higher values and conscious choices, often overriding the auto-mode instinctive life-living choices. This conscious layer is our solution providing genius. The subconscious mind is just responding and therefore leaving loads of fragmented thoughts. This splits us and lands us in chaos and conflicts. The higher consciousness is a mind positioning, which rises above drift and flux choices and streamlines all thoughts in a fruitful linearity.
This symmetrical thought processing is a layer of consciousness Einstein speaks of as solution provider. We all have to attain it. This is true success for us. And this success comes when we know and accept the objective knowledge about how our brain works for us. Once we accept this, we shall learn that not only loneliness, rather many other realism of our life-living experiences are not the way we have been accepting them since ages. We are in our perspectives and our perspectives are in us. Therefore, when we accept this new perspective, we change and with our change, our perspective changes to the new cognition and causalities.
That is why it has been my humble insistence that humanity in 21st century must discard all other partial and lopsided perspectives and ideas about we, our lives and connect we had with the outside world. We must unlearn the old and obsolete notions of consciousness, cognition and causality and accept the new, holistic and singularly objective wisdom, which modern scientific knowledge makes available for us.
Everything starts and ends with our brains, our mind consciousness. This brain engendered mind consciousness levels, we have within all of us, and knowledge about them is one huge facilitator of wisdom and lasting joys and peace. However, by design and evolution, this brain is oriented for tumult and chaos. From ancient people, 3000 years back to modern scientists, all wise people have been warning us to know this brain mechanism and mind consciousness well and then use the energy of our higher consciousness to have perfect control of this mystically marvellous brain.
Scientists have been warning us that all intelligent races finally become extinct and we as a race have attained this critical intelligence. This suggests, we have evolved a brain, which has engendered such a consciousness, which is too smart, too ingenious and too arbitrary to let us live a settled and smooth lives. See the collective troubles of humanity and anyone can see how our collective intelligence has pushed us to the brink of self-destruction and complete annihilation. This stupid brain and its age-old mind consciousness of trouble making is out and at its capriciously randomized worst, auguring disaster for humanity. Personal lives too are being made a poor slave of this stupid.
Understanding mind, the functional entity of brain reveals how we live in a world contrary to our age-old beliefs and ideas. We buoy up and down in the vast ocean of sub-consciousness, only occasionally surfacing above onto the atmosphere of consciousness. Most of our personal troubles are created in our subconscious self. We know little about them, are very poorly aware about them and have little control over them. This is the level of consciousness; Einstein talked about as the problem creator domain. As we understand our mind consciousness, its mechanism and functioning, we empower our consciousness to be in better control of our hugely vast subconscious domain. This empowered consciousness is the level of solutions.
This is time we know the stupid and make it shed its randomized and chaotic ways. It is time, we take a firm grip on our destinies by knowing about brain mechanism and how it engenders for us the critical realism of the 3Cs – Consciousness, Cognition and Causality. As we get to know them, we are in full and conscious control of our mind consciousness, which brain creates for us. As we get to know this stupid, we shape our destinies, the way we wish.
As I conclude, I wish to share with you two more quotes from Einstein, which I firmly believe stand out as the most potent solution of all shades of the problem of loneliness. What Einstein said, if accepted, is the ultimate solution of loneliness, if it is accepted as a challenge and possible trouble.
Einstein said, ‘I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.’
Einstein also said, ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.’
Now, let us relate Einstein’s words with the realism of loneliness. What most people complain of when they say they feel bad about loneliness? It is connect they are speaking about. Scientists say that loneliness is all about a perceived lack of connect with entities around in one’s ambient milieus. So, if we have this missing connect, we are never with the debilitating feeling of loneliness!
Well then let us have this magical and transcendental connect. Let us be objectively logical to accept that only real knowledge and wisdom connects. Spiritualism means connecting the microcosm with macrocosm. Yogic philosophy of India talked about this transcendental connects of self with cosmic consciousness, around 3000 years back for lasting wellness. When we have real knowledge, we are truly connected with cosmic causality. A person who has the power of knowledge has the true connect with all causalities around him or her. That ensures, he or she is never lonely. We have already talked how researchers conclude that those who are more educated and knowledgeable have lesser incidence of loneliness. It is easy to accept how knowledge is the real connect.
What Einstein is talking about is his transcendental curiosity and will to connect with true knowledge and wisdom. He was not interested in God but he was immensely and perpetually interested in knowledge about the core concept, which surrounds the idea of divinity. He was thrilled infinitely about all things that are mysterious, which humanity has not yet known. His curiosity and inquisitiveness is transcendental. He was always connected with every speck and detail around him. He was never lonely but with loads of his own consciously selected curiosities and inquisitiveness.
Most often, people with different ages feel the disconnect with people, their own milieus and larger purpose of life. Moreover, this disconnect or lack of connect brings about the very troublesome emotion of feeling alienated. Somehow, Einstein points out to this crucial fact that true and real connects is intangible – not physical but mental. Knowledge is the real and lasting connect with everything around us. We have already talked about how lasting wellness can come to us through lasting connect between generic elements and as our consciousness is intangible, its lasting connects can come only through intangibilities. Knowledge is the real intangible connect.
In contemporary cultures, the worst casualty is average person’s disconnect with instinctive human curiosity and inquisitiveness. Especially, the young generations feel knowledge is optional, even a burden. There is an insistence on living life, at the cost of ignoring knowledge about life-living essentials. Einstein’s insistence is on perpetuity of the joy and thrill of knowing – connecting to everything in the cosmos, from people to ideas, through knowledge and wisdom. People of any age, whether they are kids, young or old; this inquisitiveness should always remain as primary energy of all actions and behaviours. There is nothing but knowledge that truly connects us with things other than us. It is rare that a kid feels loneliness. He or she is always busy connecting physically as well as mentally to everything real or imaginary around him or her. Kids are wired for curiosity and inquisitiveness, even when societies usually smother their innate curiosities. However, as we grow, we stop to actually keep growing. We stop connecting. We stop the crucial linkages of knowledge. Modern cultures insist on education as means to acquire skills about jobs and careers but the crucial life-living knowledge is being sidelined. So, we may be skilled but not truly knowledgeable.
Therefore, Einstein is never lonely as he is always connecting and feeling joyous and thrilled, not in finding answers and solutions. He is thrilled as the very energy of inquisitiveness is good enough for him. He is thrilled by feeling connected to the process of delving into the mystical world – being connected to the art and science of inquisitiveness.
We too have to learn this mastery of the artistry of being in perpetually connect with this art and science of inquisitiveness about the mystical universe – everything around us, till life allows us time. Knowledge connects, it keeps us thrilled and in joy of being inseparable part of the colossal whole. Yes, everyone is truly lonely in his or her pursuits of knowledge as this process is intangible and operative at the intangible level of consciousness. A consciousness filled with connects of inquisitiveness of knowledge lands us at this facilitative time-space realism of happy loneliness. We are then lonely and at our happiest best.
