Intellect is in being truly thrilled and happy about the multidimensionality of Reality and never be obsessed and dogmatic about singular or few preferred perceptions, which stand us conflicted with different other shades of realities, other than what we as individuals, accept and profess.

What I wish to bring to deliberation here is something very core and critical about life-living, which has been facilitated by contemporary scientific knowledge of human brain and how it engenders, what we popularly call The Mind. I wish to talk about two aspects of our life-living Reality and later, we shall detail about different dimensions of the two aspects to understand, what helps us optimize the potential of all attainments in life-living. The two aspects are –

There is a ‘Mind’, which we can refer to as ‘Summation’ of culturally appropriate and Milieu-Specific normality. This Mind accepts ‘Normal’, good and right, success and failures in terms of the cultural-milieu benchmarks and guides our life-living to pursue this all. This Mind, we can term as ‘Social Mind’, conforming to ‘External’ benchmarks of Appropriates and Righteousness. This mind consciousness is very much like majority of higher animals have. This mind consciousness, which facilitates social assimilation and integration with collective consciousness of cultures, is important for survival optimization. Most animals survive this way as they live as groups and behave collectively. As we have familiarized ourselves with the core concept of Information; we can understand that since childhood, a growing child automatically, unconsciously and subconsciously receives and ingrains all such Information, which are ambient, dominant and popularly accepted by majority in ambient-localized milieus of family, society, culture, polity, faith structures, etc. This collective plexus of early and primary Information forms the domain of what we are calling as Social Mind. The social mind is formed in all complex organisms and remains embedded in mind consciousness till death. This social mind is the soil of all identities and belief system a person has. For humanity, this is a sword-situation. The culturally or milieu-led Information, forming the social mind, are essential for survival optimization of all organisms, including humans. Cultures do still facilitate survival but have become so complex and corrupted that they create threats to survival sanity in many ways. Moreover, most cultures have their hypocrisies and inherent conflicts, which a person learns in auto-mode and also becomes conflicted and hypocritical. The original design of evolution for survival is not valid in 21st century humanity. The very idea of survival intelligence has undergone massive changes. Humanity still does not recognize this and remains conflicted and hypocritical.

As both science and ancient spiritualism maintain, a thesis creates its automatic antithesis and therefore, the above-stated Social Mind automatically creates its ‘opposite’ and alternative Mind. Science says; if there is matter, there automatically happens anti-matter; if electron happens, positron has to happen. Spiritualism says, in the very existence of Joy is embedded and entrenched the seeds of Sorrows and the vice-versa. One thought or idea automatically crates its negation in the same mind consciousness. It is like, a coin cannot come with one side only. It has to have two-sides and both sides happen in some probability, which is ‘entangled’ as they are part of the same Field of Information. Human cognition has been designed to operate this way; very much akin to the binary system of computers. It is a lock and key function. Information gets processed in brain states mostly like that. It is the innateness of nature’s working modality, which works out our cognition. In contemporary milieus of chaos, complexity, conflicts and confusion; the probability of wrong and un-favorability may have larger chances of happening, for average person, who may not be ‘favorably’ aligned with available ‘bounties’ of society-culture, largely usurped by a handful powerful lots. Therefore, the ‘Social Mind’ automatically creates its opposite and alternative Mind, which we can term as ‘Cosmic Mind’. This cosmic mind is far more probabilistic compared to social mind as it stands in opposition and alternative positioning to the social mind. Naturally, as cosmic mind may not adhere to ‘social-cultural’ normal and appropriate; it stands to journey deeper landscapes of life-living probabilities. This mind stands detached and probably also in opposition to most cultural and milieu-specific benchmarks of appropriates and righteousness. This cosmic mind is brilliantly probabilistic, as is Reality and Universe. If we look at ancient philosophies; we can find the twin streams of mutually exclusive philosophies; advocating opposite ideas and practices. The design of mind creates this innate dualism and is expressed in cognition of not only humans but most of the higher animals. That is why in most cultures, this mind consciousness is feared and discouraged by societies and politics. Society-culture-politics-economics need ‘conformist’ social mind. Most humans consider this cosmic mind as a big waste as it is indecisive and non-conformist. This mind consciousness is not good for populist ‘successes’ and that is why it is never welcomed. However, this cosmic mind, like social mind is not common and equal in all humans. This happens because of make-up in brain states as well as upbringing and milieu specific inputs. Most humans are happy slaves of culturally defined ‘normal’ and can’t even think of an alternative way or probability. Most also do not have the mental-material wherewithal and personal courage to resist the social-cultural normal. The brute and authoritarian powers of state and society seldom allow much liberty to individualistic options.

It is now a scientifically proven fact that even as all of us have both aspects or types of Mind, which our commonly designed brain states engender, every person differs in how their brain expresses itself, in interaction with external as well as internal milieus. Science says; no two brains are alike. This probably nature designed and evolution favored to optimize survival and natural selection benefits. This means, different people can have different combinations of the two types of Minds and naturally their expressions vary. Science says, there are seven shades of consciousness and correspondingly, there are 16 sub-types of Minds. All these mind types shall have different potency and efficacy; depending on upbringing, nurturance and ambient cultural milieus. As we talked earlier, all human minds are only potentials. How much each human mind optimizes its potentials depend on loads of elements and factors pertaining to brain structures, upbringing, cultures, learning, peers, liberal attitudes of state-society, etc. It is however, very clear that every human being must have highly evolved and optimized mind consciousness of both types – Social as well as Cosmic.

This optimization alone can lead a person to the high idealism of Holism. This holism is what is popularly known as Higher Consciousness. It is an ever evolving field or landscape of brain processing, which is actually the synthesis-stage emergence of the thesis-antithesis consciousnesses, as mentioned above. Higher Consciousness is emergent and evolved mind state, which is engendered as dialectical process of interactions between social and cosmic minds. This dialectical process is life-long cyclicality, which is the energy behind true growth and evolution of a child from a potential human being to an actual human being. The skepticism and inquisitiveness about reality; as it unravels itself to a person; is innate and engrained in the very information processing of a healthy child. Not only human brain, rather all brains of higher organisms have been designed and evolved to process information from external milieus with innate and embedded skepticism. This only survives and makes an organism excel in its ambient milieus and life-living. Tragically enough; most children are raised and nurtured by families and societies in the wrong way; emaciating and finally killing their natural inquisitiveness for varied information and thus making them slaves of cultures and polity. Those fortunate and rightly nurtured kids grow in a milieu of family, where inquisitiveness is encouraged and a child is free to accept and imbibe novelty and alternative views, ideas and ways. Their mind consciousnesses have the dialectical mechanism well galvanized and they truly evolve to have evolved higher consciousness; shunning the slavery of milieus and cultures. These handfuls are true humans.

This higher Consciousness alone makes us rise above animals we are born as. It is tragic that majority of 98 percent humans remain at the crow-level consciousness and never ever qualify to be a human, till their deaths. It is pathetic and truly inhuman, the ways in which mass majority of kids are raised, nurtured and made to deal with knowledge. The contemporary human world and its systems are killers of sanity and they have their worst impact on the kids. Their true potentials are killed shamelessly and they are all very happily made to become slaves. It takes loads of knowledge and persevered practice to master the Grammar of Life and Poetry of Living. We shall try to make this as simple as possible, even while adhering to contemporary wisdom of pure and objective science.

Given this background and understanding of science, as well as spiritualism; we shall talk about some related aspects of brain, mind, consciousness, cognition and ultimately the Reality. The singular purpose of deliberation shall be to arrive at a very beautiful and fruitful ‘model’ of life-living, which we can say is a proven and indisputable for optimization of potentials mind consciousness and hence wellness and success of our life-living. Here we go…

In the last 100 years, human knowledge has acquired the criticality, which is potent enough to either completely destroy the world or make it what human potential always desired it to be – The Heaven. In the third decade of 21st century; humanity has understood Reality and its processes as never before. It has suitably designed such tools, which together put human species in an unprecedentedly precarious situation. The simple and straightforward statement of the contemporary situation is this –

If I don’t accept the current knowledge and reality; I am not even human but a savage animal, like 98 percent of human population. If I accept but still cannot master the knowledge with precision and required intelligence; I am doomed; like majority of humanity, as wrong and inappropriate knowledge kills reality, self and others. Half-baked reality holders are worst enemies and predators of humanity. There are more predators now than prey. If I accept, understand and successfully practice the grammar of life; I simply cannot live and survive in this contemporary human world and its ways, with sanity and poise. No doubt, I shall feel sorry for the 98 percent but shall feel suffocated living with them and in their world. I shall have to create a small space of my own sanity and reality; away from the madness of mass majority. My compassion and grief for mass majority of people shall always lead me to goodness for them but even this cannot create any semblance of livable compatibility with them. I have to quit! I have to move away! Many are already doing it; without adverts and demonstrativeness.

Besides this acceptance; there has to be this bare basic humility, which must precede the journey of understanding the Grammar of Life. This humility is innocent, compassionate, sincere and wholehearted acceptance of –

I am only one of the millions of species of animals in this unfathomably colossal universe. I am born animal, like these billions, but with potential to be a true human; like the handfuls of this species, as I have the favorability of a complex brain, which lends me a Consciousness that is a marvelous Media. This media has the embedded potential to unravel and decipher reality; in its holism but it has its entrenched weaknesses and troubles. Growth, maturity, success and attainments of true bliss are in life-long process of unlearning these weaknesses and learning new information to strengthen its potentials.

Only objective, rational knowledge can qualify me to become human. This acquisition of knowledge is no auto process but accrues only through personal and conscious enterprise; with loads of skepticism and resolved will to unlearn. Knowledge is an infinite domain. The ‘Reality’, I am faced with, has evolved
