Higher Purpose and True Wealth
Finally, we must also talk about the higher purpose of witnessing. We can also call it a novel and alternative purpose of witnessing. This needs very non-intuitive cognition and a very liberal acceptance of reality. The reality entrenched in I Witnessing Me is very probabilistic and even beyond regular and intuitive perceptions. To understand the true and real purpose of the witnessing processes in its holism, entirety and totality needs acceptance of a very crucial hypothesis, which modern science facilitates for us. We talk about them briefly though.
There is a hypothesis in modern science that evolution designed us to have very localized consciousness and a rather restricted cognition of reality. Evolution is primarily a calibrated journey of brain, towards attainment of a cognitive system, which optimizes survival fitness or eligibility. The reason for localized consciousness and restricted cognition of reality is evolution’s hypothesized game-plan to design the fittest species for optimality of survival. It surely succeeded. But the hypothesis is that this survival of fittest, eventuality creating humans, also ensured that most humans live out their lives in a very narrow band of reality; happily oblivious of the vastness and variety of reality in its holism and entirety.
Look at the cosmos. There is a design; pattern and symmetry in the vast universe. Then, there are scales, magnitude, dimensions and diversities. All of them are in massive stretches, the extremes of their two ends is beyond intuitive perception and feel of average person. Our own solar system seems huge and beyond our perceptions. However, there are billions of Suns like ours in our galaxy called milky-way and the universe has billions of such galaxies still, all of these occupy only 5-6 percent of total universe. Our observance is so irrelevantly minuscule as we cannot see beyond 16 kilometers. The cosmos is however over 90 billion light years apart. It is such a brilliance of science that it enabled humanity to witness them all. This witnessing is beyond and also independent of observance.
In a lifetime, which is as short as or, as long as 80-90 years; mass majority of people cannot witness them, their beauty and exhilarating experiences, as they rely on their intuitive observance alone and wade through a very localized ambient milieu to ensure survival fitness. The livelihood question, enough wealth to possess consumptive happiness and raising children are primary survival fitness agenda, which consumes these 80-90 years. This is the threadbare bandwidth of reality, which is the whole cosmos for 99 percent humans. Almost 100 percent animals do the same; probably with better survival fitness intelligence. Only a handful witness and they experience life; not survival fitness.
In modern scientific parlance, all realities are Information – we and our lives are also Information. The information and its interacting plexuses engender what we have discussed as Intentionality. This intentionality seeks a ‘Media’ of expression to energize its incessant evolution. This media observes but can witness. Knowledge, which is popularly known as science, is inquiry into Information – in its originality as well as evolutional finality. Scientists call it Landscape.
Our lives and living experiences therefore have them all – Design; Pattern, Symmetry, Scales, Magnitude, Dimensions, Diversities, Information, Intentionality, Media, et al. We, our body, our brain prowess, our consciousness are a poor and insufficient Media to decipher and unravel them all in their holism. Only knowledge keeps enabling and empowering this poor media to evolve and expand the width and depth of perceptions and awareness. Knowing about them all is a journey towards optimization of the best of potentials of self or consciousness, which life-living offers the rare opportunity to experience.
This empowerment of witnessing reality in its cosmic holism; this eligibility to experience the optimization of potential of bandwidth of reality, is a process, which is a huge Wealth and massive Contentment. It requires a novel and alternative cognition and consciousness to internalize this contentment. This evolves as one consciously aligns with the humility and acceptance that experiencing and then internalizing realities in its unlimited probabilities is the ultimate process of perpetuity of happiness. The bliss and contentment augments and expands as landscape of witness-able realities enlarges. This happens as knowledge grows. We experience as we have knowledge and we have knowledge as we can experience.
Human body and mind are huge marvels of nature. For that matter, all bodies and minds of all living being are. Since ages, whether it be philosophy or spiritualism; primary human inquisitiveness always hovered around dynamics of human body-mind and its relationships with realities in external milieus. Since thousands of years, aware and evolved people looked for understanding these basic issues. Contemporary science has unraveled so much now. It was realized since thousands of years and now science confirms it that human body and mind has huge potentials but average person does not use even a fraction of these potentials as they are not aware of them. They are wired to observe the island of survival fitness but their true potential is in witnessing the vast ocean of reality and experiencing them.
