CHAPTER 7
Truth, in its entirety and magnanimity is like ‘science’ – absolute and beyond evolutionary dynamics of time and space. However, acceptance and manifestation of the same truth is often an ‘art’ – more of artistry, given to human ingenuity of subjective perceptions and cognitive conundrums. That is why, often, people, especially powerful people, unleash rainbowishly playful artistry to insist more on ‘righteousness’, rather than ‘truth’ as former is easily maneuverable as per subjective ‘perceptions’ as against later, which is objectively and even brutally factual and absolute.
Peace and poise in societies seem to have this innate tendency to stay in inertia, but more than often, it is always this ‘artistry of righteousness’ by powerful people, which disturbs and unsettles the peace and poise. This is true even for relationships. In a relationship, it is almost always the more ‘endowed and powerful’ partner, who shall unleash his or her ‘self-obsessed’ perceptions of ‘artistry of righteousness’, refusing to see and accept the objective and singular truth, to unsettle the peace and poise of the relationship.
Truth, sadly and unfortunately is not available in raw and natural state. It has to be deciphered or unraveled. It is like everyone has enough milk with them but milk can be of different quality and quantity. Milk therefore is like subjective perceptions and that is why different people have different sense and acceptance of ‘righteousness’. Truth however is like butter, ingrained and embedded in all forms of milk but for butter to be deciphered and unraveled, all milk need to be churned and processed. And, this process and mechanism of milk-processing for procurement of butter is singular and absolute…
Deciphering and unraveling of truth therefore is a dialectic process – Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis. Every perception or righteousness is like a thesis. For truth to be established, this thesis perception must be ‘churned’ – debated and discussed with antithesis – the diametrically opposite viewpoint or perception. These two perceptions are then tested in the milieus of holistic, assimilative and integrative energies. This process then creates the Synthesis. Dialectics process enlists that in evolutionary dynamics, even this synthesis itself becomes a Thesis and undergoes the same dialectic process of Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis…
This means, unraveling and deciphering of ‘Truth’ is a constant evolutionary process, till it reaches its purest and absolute state of existence like the butter. Truth is not self-established; it is always deciphered and unraveled and this has a singular, objective and logically correct process. Any truth, which does not follow this process, is susceptible to being just ‘perception’ and perceptions are based only on subjective cognitive conundrums.
Whether it is love, relationships, families, societies or nations, those people, who are in positions of advantage and leadership, attempt to unleash their perception-based ‘artistry of righteousness’, gleefully obfuscating realism and bypassing truth, to attain their personal gains. Relationships, societies and nations lose their peace and poise because of this subjective and ingenious ‘artistry of self-righteousness’ of a few people.
The trouble with all societies is that for most people, perceptions come easy and natural, in subconscious awareness but truth-unraveling is a learned and evolved consciousness. That is why the wise of humanity have said it thousands of years back – ‘The stupid is always sure and the true intellectual is never’. Why?
What a stupid is sure of is not truth but his subjective perception, which comes natural to his or her subconscious awareness of self. Based on this subjective consciousness, a stupid is always in a hurry to accept this perception as ‘valid’ ground of his or her ‘righteousness’. A stupid always feels that he or she is right and all others, who are against his or her subjective perception of righteousness are wrong and untrue.
The simple idea is – People usually have this populist perception to call someone as ‘tyrant’ and ‘narcissist’, if he or she is hell-bent to accept only his or her subjective perception as ‘truth’ and vehemently attempts to label and declare only his or her perception as the ‘only right’ things, trashing other perceptions as untrue and wrong. However, the simple and singular fact is – Such a person is no tyrant or narcissist but simply a stupid – a good one at it!
Only stupid is sure and wise is never as truth needs to be deciphered and unraveled under the objective process of dialectics – through constant debate, consultations, assimilation, integration and holism. This stupidity comes natural to most people as ‘perceptions’ come easy and natural to us. That is why, it is very easy and almost auto-mode consciousness of most people to accept his or her perceptions as the ultimate righteousness. It is tough and against egoistic consciousness to accept that truth is seldom in raw and natural state; rather it is deciphered and unraveled through a self-denying process of dialectics.
Since onset of humanity on earth 4 million years ago and especially after inception of civilization around ten thousand years back, human societies have constantly faced the tyrants and narcissists. The tyrants and narcissists are born naturally as everyone born as a normal human being has this calamitous potential to grow as a tyrant and narcissist. Elements of tyranny and narcissism is ingrained and embedded in our subconscious minds. This everyone unlearns and grows up as a balanced person, respecting the objective process of truth-deciphering. Tyranny and narcissistic behavior is no monopoly of politics and governance. Every one of us has these traits ingrained and embedded in our subjective subconscious minds, or what we popularly know as instincts.
Not only politicians or rulers but every single human being has to be aware of this mechanism of consciousness in we all. This stupidity of self is what we all are born with but then, with evolving and maturity, we all need to ‘unlearn’ this instinctive stupidity and accept the golden utility and worth of holistic, assimilative and integrative consciousness, which accepts and happily lives up the learned behavior of debate, discussion and deliberations.
Therefore, all societies, all cultures, especially families must always look after their kids well. A kid born and brought up in insecurity, instability and unloving family-social milieus has greater tendency to grow as insecure and obsessive person. It is all about psychologies that play in the life of every person. Therefore kids must be trained to evolve this golden artistry to ‘unlearn’ stupid instincts and emerge as strong and confident person.
It takes huge amount of courage and conviction to accept the stupidity of the self, especially the subconscious self. Unlearning is a very tough self-denying process to attain exalted self-actualization process. The wise is different from a stupid in the sense that the wise is confident, secure and strong enough to happily and unegoistically accept the self-denying process of unraveling and deciphering of truth, as against the self-eulogizing perceptions and subjective righteousness.
Let us all be this confident, secure and strong enough to unlearn this subconscious stupidity to arrive at the higher consciousness, which accepts the humility and compassion of being unsure, unlike the stupid.
