"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

Albert Einstein

 

 

Welcome. A cursory look at the titles below will clearly reveal that here we are not dealing with a particular course in self-cultivation of the type we are accustomed to meet. The articles, for the grater part, rather space the scientific field dealing with knowledge of the brain and mind - and that is no definitive knowledge at all but, so as they are chosen, they stand on a rational base in contrast to the plethora of what innumerable savants try to instill into our minds.
Here we meet with a push to know how our brain work and what our mind may be with the aid, fore mostly, of science. The knowledge we can derive from going through this material is not just an instructional enrichment but where it succeeds to free our minds of superstitions, outdated traditions and the like it creates balance and power within and as a result freedom, freedom from a fettered self.
So that, primarily, this may be taken as a course towards self-knowledge with firm pillars but not as the means to attain self knowledge, it all depends on our mental reaction. Self-knowledge is power which will give tangible results in accordance to how we exploit this power. Power may be freedom but easily it turns into bondage. As for the other word in the caption to this section - immortality - the plain truth is that no one ever came back from the beyond to tell us how things are there. But immortality belongs to the creator of death, or, in other words, immortality is a prerogative of life. And if it is life that we thrive with, the physical dissolution is the most natural process that life brings about. The tangible realms of our experience are extremely limited. Disliking extinction we create and cling to spiritual concepts which are nothing but creatures of the mind and we loose sight of the fact that life is nothing but an evolutionary process of transformation and that nothing of this process is ever lost. Developing the conscious awareness of this process - of which we are part and parcel - and its beauty within all that which may appear ugliness and injustice is what we should aim to and that will go far beyond the physical dissolution.
