It Was A Fruitful Day - Daily Blog #3

[8th February]

I didn't publish any blog for 6th and 7th February. Those two were very unproductive days, and as a result I was unable to face myself in the form of writting this blog. I lost both the battles, of doing what I'm supposed to and facing my failure once I failed it. I've noticed whenever I face discomfort I don't tackle it, I don't even lie about it to myself. I simply do my best to ignore it, to think of something else. While ignorining accountability, it feels like I am a vampire in a very dark cave, and there's a small beam of light. It feels like if i acknowledge that light, I might go towards it and end up burning myself.

Well, today was quite productive. I woke up at 10, which is an achievement for me and a moment of festivity for my family. I was on an average productive throughout the day. Although I think I could have done much much better during my "breaks", which always exceeded the intended duration of time.

I did not meditate today, I procrastinated and ended up not doing it. Although I did a 30 seconds walking meditation while randomly walking while listening to a podcast. It was a spontaneous mindful space that I reached. I could listen to the words of podcast and at the same time feel my legs walking. Going up, forward and down. I noticed with every step my body tilted a little. I noticed the movement of my body as a whole. It was a nice experience. I should do more of walking meditations.

 Points
4.5 (3 × lectures)
2 (2 × Notes revision)
0.8 (2 × DPPs)
Total = 7.3
Very fruitful day :)

I've decided to make a daily goal of achieving at least 7 points each day, without missing even a single day for this month. This will be my month's goal.

Ciao

Rethinking Our Place in Space Time

 We, as humans, have evolved the ability to observe and perceive the universe in three dimensions only. Although with our cunning minds and amazing mathematical skills we have started to observe the 4th dimension, which we refer to as time, we are still far from understanding it. At our highest ability, we perceive time as a linear flow—like one dimension but worse—because although we do traverse it forward, we lack the ability to even choose our own speed while traveling in this dimension, unlike the other three dimensions. A unique dimension? Is there something inherently different about the 4th dimension from the other three? Because the other three do show common features and differ only in their directions. So if we can perceive these three so well, why not the fourth? Is the 4th dimension categorically different from them? Or is it a flaw of our brain that limits us from experiencing the full capacity of the 4th dimension? Or is it the way we are raised after birth? What if, ...

The Perfect Life for my 6 year-old self

As any other normal child I hated school, and the notion that I needed to study everyday to be successful. I did not enjoy the idea of a stressful life. I was a very god-believing child and always wondered why God decided to put me into this human body? Why couldn't I be a deer in the jungle? My life would have been so amazing, so stress free, just full of joy. And then my mind turned towards the cons of being a deer and realised I could be eaten by a lion any day, and I'd not enjoy constantly living in fear of being eaten. So now I had to think of another animal that has the best life. I decided I wanted to be a lion. Who eats the top species in a food chain? It is lion who everyone fears. I could now enjoy a few days fantasizing about being a lion and living a peaceful life with no stress or fear. But then I saw lions fighting each other on National geographic channel. And also realised they are captured and kept in zoos for people to enjoy viewing them. And I did not want to...

love transcends time

There are layers to this cosmos. The outermost would be the universe itself, then the galaxies, then the stars, (given we actually have an idea of what the cosmos is made of).  We may not be sure of what's the outermost layer but we sure are blessed with the ability to look for the innermost one. This subject is not as easy to express as it is to explore. I think that is the reason this knowledge never took off like other branches of science. It is almost impossible to express. But I'll try When you spend your lifetime into understanding your innerself, your pure consciousness, the ultimate and innermost layer of the cosmos, the very thing that has driven philosophers crazy, the very thing that has driven scientists crazy (they tend refer to it as the singularity or the theory of everything), when you are on the edge of your sanity and are about to fall into your doom there will be a moment, a moment of perfect balance between awareness and what's being observed, a small mo...
