Brain Brain

I'm a brain, You're a brain. And we all are within a big huge brain. I blatantly admit to have taken the line from a trippy conversation. Confessions aside, this "big huge brain" that I mentioned, is what I suppose many of us have come to recognize as the collective conscious. Or actually, not many of us have come to realize the possibility of a higher mind. Wow! That sounds like the whole "god" concept. Either that, or some part of my head is feeling really numb.

The agnostic in me is probably turning religious. Brilliant! Before I lose this train of thought, let me get back to the brain issue I want to address today.

A close friend of mine told me something that validated the whole "कायनाती साज़िश " (Universal conspiracy) theory. Basically the rant about how the world secretly helps you out with things you want the most. All of this about belief, I suppose. And as John Mayer sings...

Belief is a beautiful armor,

Makes for the heaviest sword

It's like punching underwater,

You never can hit what you're trying for.

Here's the deal. When you wish for something very badly, you are creating some sort of waves of your own around yourself. If the waves are strong enough, they surely are going to distort the usual order of things from the way they would be in case you hadn't wished for something badly. And this distortion realigns everything that comes in its way with the direction of your desire's accomplishment/ manifestation. And wallah! Magic! The main trouble is getting to the point where your desire for something becomes so strong that it ain't a part of you anymore. It is you on the whole!

Goodness! Is it just a stream of epiphanies or that I have completely lost it. Here's something that I just got struck by. We humans, actually all living beings are vehicles for desires. Or, in other words, it is through us that desires take shape in the real world. A desire is like a seed. Where did the seed come from? From a fruit, of course! But the fruit? Where did that come from? Where did the tree come from? A seed again. So what came first? Chicken? Or egg? And now, I'm am going to contradict myself. Man comes from desire, and desire comes from man.

In that vein, let's talk, rather let me rant about beauty, as it is beauty that makes life that one extra bit more worth living. Sometimes, one may get fixated with beauty in a particular form, the humanly form in my case, but then again, who doesn't? Coming back to the point, beauty is a creation of man, which in turn stems from the fact that man stems out of someone beautiful. There goes the chicken and hen paradox again. Sometimes, I get blown away by the acrobatics that a few chains made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Sulfur can do. It's all the same stuff inside each one of us. But the face in the mirror looks different to each one of us.

Just now, my train of thought just got derailed, which is highly unusual. I being a passenger on that train, happen to be the only one to have survived the accident. But then again, I was the only passenger in the entire train. Talking about vehicles, the journey, rather sojourn, that each one of us started inside someone's testicles, was a solo one-way trip. A solo trip to return every atom of your being back to the universe that each of the atoms came from. I know for a fact that I went off on a tangent while I changed the paragraph, but then come to think of it. Each one if us is as old as the universe, considering all the laws of conservation. Now THAT's awe-striking!
