You Are Indispensable…
It is some cognition, which only one in a million is fortunate to have…! It comes in a state of consciousness, which probably matches with that, when a person is minutes away from death. It is amenable to a consciousness, when it sheds all cyclicalities of causalities – internal and external, to witness Reality, in its holism. Definitiveness of death; the finality of mortality, is the only absoluteness of infinite causalities, which purges and perfects cognition. Only one in a million acquiesce to this perfection of cognition…
This rarity of cognition has the utmost purity of acceptance that most humans always remain a Kid; obsessed with their Toys, in a world full of imaginations and hallucinations; happily insistent that their world is the ultimate Reality. Many people, at some stage of their lives, may finally accept this ‘toddler-Toy-ality’ of their life-living attainments and purposes but, it comes as epiphany – a fleeting realization, and quickly enough, the Subconscious-Egoism prevails over. Knowledge is momentary and ephemeral for most; like a Toy that a child loses interest in soon. Internalization, entrenchment and universalization of knowledge in subconscious plexus require continuation and perseverance with conscious state epiphanies, which is an Adulthood artistry and craft. Toy-Obsession keeps procrastinating it, till death takes everything away…
History of humanity is 4 million years old. The contemporary humans also has a history of 1,00,000 years. A child is supposed to reasonably grow up in 25 years. Still, 99 percent humans, even after 4,000,000 years, haven’t grown up, refuse to understand what it takes to mature, and they die after a few more years, still remaining the Kid – in their subjective Consciousness and Cognition. If science could come up with a machine, which could tell, even if the body of a person is 80 years old, what is the age of maturity of his or her consciousness and cognition; it would be a mesmerizing global data. In philosophical generality, the psychologists like to say, nobody matures more than 12 years old! A handful probably can; not more.
Evolution and time-lapse is not an automatic progression into maturity and growing up. It takes Knowledge of Reality and its universal acceptance in human world to mature a person. This is never a priority for majority of people. Never ever any human civilization and culture prioritized knowledge of reality in its holism and its universality. Rather, like wealth, identity and power; Knowledge too has been victim of oligarchic and monopolistic ingenuity of a handful of people, especially those who enjoyed leadership and authoritative positions.
Knowledge of Reality has persistently evolved with time but always remained with handful of individuals, in all stages of cultural progression. The larger humanity has also never shown any deep-seated desire to accept being knowledgeable as number one priority and purpose of life-living. Simply because, it is not auto-accrual of their design; it takes conscious evolution. It is only natural that ignorant, hallucinating and hypocritical humanity, stupidly happy with its abstract and mythical perceptions, has not yet matured and grown up to the Reality. It may never…
The culpability of stupidity and hypocrisies of humanity is with every single human being. It is not that only polity, economy and religion are the culprits and remaining humanity is great. Still, majority of humanity cannot be blamed as they are the worst sufferers of their own stupidities and hypocrisies. Ignorance has rarely annihilated and suppressed the powerful and authoritative. No political or religious leader has ever been killed in communal riots, which they engineer for their own profitability. Ignorance also picks up easy prey, like all predators. The teeming billions of the colossal humanity too are culprits but their culpability is generic and it is primarily a situation perpetuated by polity, economy and religion, if not created. That is why; even when entire humanity is culpable of perpetuating the universe of ignorance and immaturity in human world for thousands of years, the specific culprits are politics and religion as they alone stand to benefit disproportionately from generic stupidities and hypocrisies. The specific culpability of monopolizing knowledge and consciously keeping masses away from Reality is exclusively of the handful in leadership positions in polity, economy and religion.
The knowledgeable society, with complete acceptance of Reality in its holism and entirety is the central idea behind this expression of ‘Give Me my Crown Back’. The specific culpabilities of politics have to be mentioned and dealt with. However, surely, this is not being done in this eBook with any ill-will or negativity. Rather, the entire exercise is an expression of objective and reasoned compassion, which the Knowledge of Reality installs in we all. It is tough to accept but the fact remains that even if the enemy is powerful and oppressive; annihilation of enemy is no solution. The lasting solution is in creation and sustenance of a milieu, where inimical attitudes, behaviors and actions are nullified at the very beginning and; very compassionately made to see and accept their culpability. The simple and innocent fact is – a knowledgeable human society cannot demonize anything; even if the demons are as culpable as contemporary politics, economy and religion. If people are the real and true sovereign, they surely cannot act and behave the way their enemies do. The real sovereign is always compassionate and truly knowledgeable…
The idea of the real and true sovereign – the common men and women Getting Their Crown Back, is essentially the insistence of creation of the knowledgeable society, where this number one priority of humanity is handed to the nomenclature of people itself and not the contemporary politics and religion as they have been the culprit number one in never allowing this to happen. In this eBook, we are excluding religion and focusing on politics for the simple reason that it is the politics and its domain of government, which is so powerful and authoritative that the people have to battle against them. Moreover, religion is already losing its ground but politics has continued to become more powerful, autocratic, oligarchic, corrupt and suppressive. The crusade against politics and even religion does not require people to stage a battle or even a movement or revolution. The crusade is all about understanding Reality and then becoming the critical energy and mass in creation of a Knowledgeable Society and Culture. Knowledge annihilates all enemies…
We are being scientific, not philosophical. The entirety and holism of the exercise behind this idea of ‘Give Me My Crown Back’ is scientific and therefore singularly universal. Be a part of this enterprise and also do kindly involve others. Goodness needs the critical mass and energy to get universalized. You not only count; you are indispensable. Thanks!

At The Very Outset...!
There is a long history of humanity, which tells us categorically how humanity has passed through unimaginably tough and disastrous times and situations. Every one of us living and surviving, must always remember very humbly the 4 million year long trail of tragedies, pains, disasters and struggle, which billions of our forefathers had to undergo, before it could come to what we are enjoying and taking for granted in 21st century. The humanity could survive and progress because it always kept the collective Quantum of Compassion high enough to limit the calamitous causalities of all entropic elements. This collective quantum of compassion was high enough because it essentially is the design of human consciousness, unless vitiated by an ill-intentioned social-political-religious culture. It seems; average individual, in its own personal capacity, held compassion as core element of human life-living. This compassion; expressed in Collective Will to ensure the optimal sustainability of Survival instincts, was innate and entrenched in collective unconscious for millions of years.
The biggest repository of compassion probably was the ‘family system’, which could survive and prosper only because of this single major resource of mutual compassion. If humans evolved as social being, it was because millions of years of evolution had witnessed its utility-fruition and therefore entrenched in the very body-brain mechanism of humanity. The collective and its compassion-cover preceded humanity since millions of years in mammalian animal world. Compassion, in its elemental holism is the most powerful Causality of cosmic Reality. Humans are only the happy and evolved extension of this primeval and transcendental utility-fruition. The Causality of Reality plays its best and most beautiful expressions through the ‘Media’ of human consciousness. This repository of compassion, however is in major crisis and like the denuded forest cover on Earth, compassion has denuded from families as family system itself is deeply stressed under contemporary expression of stupidities and hypocrisies of individual liberties.
No doubt, there always were many, especially those who wielded power, authority and wealth, who consciously or subconsciously worked against compassionate life-living, but they too could not subdue the compassion in consciousness of average person. The human history is too long and varied but still, it seems that there was this single uniform element of Compassionate Community Living at grassroots levels in all histories of all geographies primarily because life-living in general and especially for average population was tough and therefore, compassion was instinctive in the part of average individual for survival and wellness needs. This seems to have changed in contemporary times with life-living becoming reasonably easy, as humanity reached new heights of growth and development. The instinctive compassion seems to have given way to evolved smartness and ingenuity of competitive individual. Individual growth naturally weakened the instinctive bond of compassionate community living. The chaotic-conflicting contemporary milieus surely do not anyway help the individual rationalize its competitiveness to lend more space to compassion.
In contemporary human world however, there is an emergent realism that politics and economics have gained predominance over familial and societal live-living and the former have occasioned themselves as the largest annihilators of compassion. It suits their profitability plexus. Democracy and market economy mechanism and processes seem to have changed radically the old world foundation of life-living. The competitive and growingly ‘exclusivist’ individualism that stood to gain in the new polity and economy, by detaching itself from societal fabric of compassionate bonding, may well be accepted as the 20th century evolution of modern humanity. This in turn has eroded the quantum of personal and individual compassion. Naturally, the contemporary world with ever diminishing quantum of compassion is conditioned stage for entropies to go out of hand and thus kill the possibility of sanity in human world and collective life-living. The profitability plexus of politics and economics always stood up with enough ‘activism’ to embolden and empower the individualistic exclusivism!
It has to be understood not in philosophical or psychological terms, rather with utmost singular objectivity of science and its measurable logic. The subconscious mind states are where the innate and entrenched instincts are wired and have their algorithmic expressions. It is therefore a designed and evolved reality of billions of years that subconscious is always probabilistic. This probabilistic subconscious means; every human being is wired to accept the innate vulnerability of self and all other elements in external milieus. Mortality is deeply wired in subconscious. That is why God and all faith processes come natural to all humans as they are common expression of the probabilistic subconscious. This also ensured that average human was compassionate, accommodative with ‘Others’, as his or her own deep sense of vulnerability installed it. The conscious mind states however, have the evolutionary design of antithesis – hence conscious mind state is broadly deterministic; heuristic in expressions, at least in constant competitiveness to challenge the probabilistic subconscious. It is here the politics and economics enter as ‘catalyst of chaos’, for the institutionalization of profitability plexus.
A compassionate familial-societal order is a domain that essentially ensures a self-regulated milieu. As the elements of system and order are internal, there is no need and utility of external mechanism and process of ‘control’ and ‘authority’. This is the killer for politics and economics. Naturally, politics and economics play their crafts with conscious mind states of humans. They devise all ingenious symbolisms and processes, which essentially embolden the deterministic propensities of the conscious mind. Like, an average man or woman today is more concerned about his or her life and health insurances, rather than changing the ‘wrong’ lifestyle and food habit. They also focus more on more money and not good family-friend bonding for safety and surety of future life-living. This conscious insistence on deterministic life-living choices engenders a subconscious, which is more brutally competitive and exclusivist; more aligned to ‘individualistic empowerment’ than collective strength. This dualistic and chaotic subconscious mind humanity is ideal situation for politics and economy. They happily, even criminally schematize to embolden it.
This deterministic insinuation is the mother of all exhortations for elements of control and authority in myriad shades. Politics and economics are always upfront in nourishing the elements of control and authority like a pampering father, by kindling the dormant yet monstrous instinct of ‘Identity’, ‘Egoism’ and ‘exclusivism’. Consumerism is the most effective tool of personal power to individual, standing in powerful and authoritative competition with ‘others’ and collectivity. The growing demand of ‘power’ and ‘authority’ in consumerized individual is happy news for politics and economics. It validates the autocratic and oppressive power and authority of the state, government and politics over people in subconscious mind states of common people.
Therefore, individual men and women alone can make an enterprise to restore compassion, allow liberties the less competitively conflicted milieus to enhance possibility of personal sanity, even as collective space has lost it. It is for the aware and empowered men and women to strike a golden poise and equanimity between the dualistic urges of probabilistic and deterministic consciousness. This restoration process of individual as well as collective compassion may begin by every individual consciously attempting to align more of his or her individual aspirations with collective ones and side by side become less intensely attached with polity and economy. The family and society must get back their due and innate superior situation and position in human life-living, compared to polity and economy. It has to be accepted that because of our very body-mind design, family and society is internal to us and polity and economy is external. We therefore have to align ourselves more with what is internal and innate to us rather than what is external and synthetic to our design.
Every individual has to question the very utility and fruition of contemporary politics, governments and economics. The polity and economy induced competitive individualism with exclusivist propensities must accommodate compassionate community life-living elements to make them breathe easy and fine. It is a call of the millennium. We are not living in old and archaic stupid and hypocritical world of philosophies and faith mysticisms. The new and contemporary age is the Age of Scientific Reason, based on objective, logical, measurable, replicable and irrevocable knowledge of Reality. We all need to be in perfect linearity with Reality.
If we look at journey of humanity so far, we may say that probably, the worst mistake humanity has done is not that it has not understood the Reality or the core trouble humanity has because of this innate nature of Reality. Rather, the single largest trouble for humanity is that even while it had and still has rather sound and singular knowledge and wisdom about its core trouble and possible solution, humanity has always failed in inducting this wisdom into the mainstream of life-living practices and functions. Not to have something is bad but have it, squander it and not utilize it for any worthwhile purpose is worst. Humanity seems to have excelled in squandering all precious wealth of knowledge and wisdom of the past and even present. This has to change or we get extinct!
Even in contemporary human world, the modern science has acquired indisputable knowledge that somehow reiterates the transcendental wisdom humanity could decipher many millenniums back. Yet, humanity seems oblivious of them and it still seems, this scientific knowledge is meant only for labs and handful of researchers. Moreover, the contemporary Media goes a long way to ensure that when they reach science to common men and women, they get reduced to ‘Pseudo Science’, causing more confusion. Politics just loves it!
If we look at the contemporary world situation and attempt a correction of everything that have gone wrong and in reverse direction of sanity and system, we can easily see and accept how impossible the task is. The magnitude of human population that shall require upside-down change by a new mindset training and persistent education, a hugely powerful, corrupted and mindless lobby of politicians, corporations and money-lords who profiteer out of the contemporary insanity of the system and overall, the deeply ingrained and embedded sensitivity of ethnicity, religious dogmatism and nationalism along with many other small factors make it impossible for even start of any step towards sanity.
The human world has now sort of institutionalized insanity to such powerful and impregnable structural excellence that any voice of sanity and change shall be eliminated at very inception. The profit empires of a handful of only five percent of humans are so massive and deep rooted and they have acquired so much clout and control over most structures of power-authority in contemporary world that it is almost impossible to even initiate any change that essentially has to be against the status quo. More importantly, the contemporary politics and governments have become so autocratic and corrupt that it simply does not allow a narrative, which could harm their empire. The entire 20th century has so successfully worked out and strengthened such symbiotic structures of greed between politics and economy, that in 21st century, as the realism seems to stand today, the human world is a theatre where only five percent humans are controlling the lives of rest of 95 percent humans, relegating them to the status of slaves and puppets in their hands.
… may be; it is this hopelessness and impossibility, which seems to install this expression – Give Me My Crown Back. The people, the common men and women, who are supposed to be the true and real sovereign, has this last chance before it is too late. The inevitability of human extinction has many probabilities. Politics and governments are probably the only probability, which together all 7.5 billion people can resist. Give Me My Crown Back is optionless and unputdownable…!
The agenda is clear, singular and common to all. Knowledge of Reality alone can Give Us The Crown Back. As an author, I am unashamed to beg all to read it, share it and extend mass and energy to the crusade for a knowledgeable society and culture. This alone can save all of us from the predator of ignorance. The monster of politics and government shall automatically be tamed and made to be accountable and just. It is your crown, our crown and together we can and we do Get The Crown Back…!

Reality Is, What It May, As ‘You’ Are…
‘You’ are alive and in good knowledge of everything that happened to this universe and all lives on Earth, in the past 14 billion years. So, ‘You’ are aware of Reality of everything but, it happened because ‘You’ were born and ‘You’ happened to have a body and mind. Billions of lives and deaths happened, trillions of things happened and infinite events happened but ‘You’ didn’t see, experience and remember anything. ‘You’ saw and experienced everything only in the last few years of Your life, as ‘You’ happened, Your body-mind happened. Also, billions of lives and deaths shall happen, trillions of things shall happen and infinite events shall take place after Your death and ‘You’ shall not see, experience and know them. Reality, whatever it may be, is continuous and non-contextual in its holism; only ‘You’ happen in between at some tiny ‘dot’ in the infinite continuation as some ‘Media’ and ‘contextualize’ the reality, as per the design of Your body-mind media.
Reality had and shall play out infinite shades of things but ‘You’ as a temporary ‘Media’ come and go, without having any substantial role in past and future of the cosmic Reality. Almost infinite aspects of the Reality of universe and lives in it are now available for ‘You’ and they exist as ‘You’ exist. As they exist now, ‘You’ are aware of the past 14 billion years and can also imagine about next 14 billion years. However, as ‘You’ die, all realities disappear. Nothing ‘exists’ anymore. Realities end! It is because the ‘Media’ of ‘You’, which was the ‘context’ of the Reality to play out and express itself, is dead, disappears and is not there.
Realities are infinite as ‘You’ as media is alive. Realities are zero as ‘You’ as media is dead! Realities as it is or as it might be, exists and still plays out in infinite shades but only through different ‘Media’ of individual ‘YOUs’, presenting ‘context’ to Reality. Therefore, for all practical purposes, only the ‘individualistic’ and ‘personal’ reality exists and even the collective reality stands as the summation of assimilation of all personal realities. This also is the primary basis and validation of the hypothesis that sanity of collectivity is actually a misnomer; it does not exist as some entity on its own. Only the possibility of sanity of individual and personal exists. Therefore, nothing in this universe is more important than an individual and its consciousness as it is the primary constituent element of all Realities. Nothing has meaning, purpose and realism without ‘You’. Universe has no meaning-purpose of its own; infinite shades of meaning-purpose happen, as ‘You’ happen…
Reality may look like a continuous and singular entity, irrespective of whether ‘You’ are or other ‘YOUs’ are alive or dead but, this seems so only because of the continuity in ‘Media’ and ‘context’ of ‘YOUs’, which have a common body-mind mechanism. Therefore, if Reality is ever a singular and continuous realism, it is not because what it is but because of what ‘You’ are and because the commonality of mechanisms and processes of all ‘YOUs’. This is the singular secular Reality and everything else is variegated mix of hypocrisies.
The universe has no meaning and destined purpose. Lives on Earth or if elsewhere too have no purpose and meaning. Reality itself is nothing and unworthy of any utility. All meanings, all purposes, all realities start and end with ‘You’, or Self. The universe, the Earth, the lives have only those meanings, purposes, utility and worth what ‘You’ or self assigns and accepts. Therefore, if ‘You’ are in Sanity, System, Order, Righteousness, Goodness and Wellness, then only the universe, the Earth, the lives are. It is ‘You’, the Self that matters and has any utility. This is the singular notion installed and elaborated 3000 years back in ancient Indian philosophical traditions of ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ (I Am God).
The consciousness has the continuity and it is the element, which Reality always has. Reality is deciphered because it engenders Causalities. Causalities find expression and intent through Consciousnesses. The ‘Media’ of ‘I’, ‘You’ and ‘They’ might come and go; extend a subjective feel to continuity of consciousness for a Time as irrelevant as zero but ‘it’, in its objective expression, was, is and shall always be there, if Reality has any meaning and purpose. In the famous Indian holy book Geeta, Krishna awakens Arjuna about cosmic consciousness and says, “When was the time when ‘I’ was not there and, when shall be the time when ‘I’ shall not be.” The continuity of ‘You’ is immortal; only the ‘Media’ of ‘You’ changes and takes subjective expressions.
It must be reiterated with all possible humility and sincerity of consciousness that contemporary humanity must see, understand, accept and internalize that in our civilizational and cultural march to modernity of institutional and organizational life-living, we have almost dumped the primary reality of human life-living. This primary reality, which thinking minds and philosophers of early humanity listed out with strong conviction, is that the individual, the person, an average man or woman is the everythingness of all somethingness that social and collective living can design and execute for sanity of system.
It is tragic and decisively the biggest and worst hypocrisy of humanity that now this individual or person is nowhere in picture in scheme of things of society, culture, economy, markets, politics, religion and even scientific and technological advancements. Rather, personal sanity and personal dignity gets more degraded and emaciated as collective efforts for so-called ‘betterment’ of life-living of common men and women go up. The most glaring example of this worst hypocrisy is how globally, human education system is bein
