thesocratespot: AAUW : Chapter LXXXXII : Spirituality is a fake Universe

The guru smiled

he had just finished 
his treatise on
atmodayam 
vs
parajjayam

evolution
vs
negation 

it was an elaborate
and intricate theory 
that he had developed 
over 15 years 
along with his 
guru
in the big mountains 
of Himachal 

He was glad it had the desired effect

his disciples ?

were charmed 
feeling blessed
relieved 
free and 
emancipated 

enlightened 

the guru again 
turned to look at the gathering
as ever smiling

the visual was pleasing 

some where swooning
some more were in a trance 
a few had already fainted
a group in the corner were clapping and
chanting  

the atmosphere was 
frenzied 

the energy
palpable

If the guru 
decided to step down 
and walk 
at that time

the disciples would have 
had multiple 
orgasms 

they were in that
grip
of his 
will, whim an wish 

The guru knew the rules 
better
he restrained the urge

His only worry was 
the girl Annie

She was sharper 
than the others
She could shoot 
through 
his treatise

Annie could refer
the other sophists
in the same league 

discuss, debate 

Christianity and Judaism
She could quote Spinoza
Descartes
and the 7 holy saints 
of Zaroastranism 

Aristotle, Plato
Socrates
and Aristophanes were 
on her finger tips

So were 
Hegel, Nietzsche 
and Kant

Along with the Upanishads
She was a master of the
Mandokyan Upanishad
and the 4 Vedas
Regi
Sama
Yajur
and Atharvam

She had read the Bhagavatams
Buddhist Scriptures
and the Quran

Annie had read and assimilated
Russian Mysticism
even Confusianism

Besides Freud and Jung

She was his toughest disciple 
coz she wouldn't let him go 
without a debate 
and she was attractive too 

As the assembly dissolved 
Annie switched on her music 
She had recently recorded 
Trilok Gurtu
and 
Songs from the 
Buddha Bar Collection

Annie 
switched her ipod on

and went into a zone of silence 

taking her lotus pose 
under a starlit sky
she was free
and she was naked 

meditating

She just finished 
smoking pot

thesocratespot: AAUW : Chapter LXXXXI : Competitive friendship

We were friends from childhood

we laughed
we cried
we faught
we admired
we
adored
we
mocked
we
taunted
we
condemned
we argued
incessantly

turkey, england, america
India, Pakistan
Red, white
Russia, China

Dalai lama
Lenin, Mao

Corruption

despotism
totalitarianism

Each wanted the other
to confirm

each
had no clue

the meaning
of

true leadership

Each developed
an individual
perception

and then they differed

and  they

stopped laughing

stopped talking


thesocratespot: AAUW : Chapter LXXXX: Somnambulance

It was a play

But

played inside a dream

nobody knew

the script.

Each looked at the blank
white page

then came

the yogi

smiled

suddenly the world seemed
to acquire a halo

golden

the disciples swooned

some went wet

the yogi said

om

thesocratespot: AAUW : Chapter LXXXIIX : Future is an accident

Bang

kabang , klang

Sounds
of huge red brown railway wagons,
some open
others empty
some looking like burnt bread

black

A remote railway station

Sunny
hot

Not a soul in sight

Annie sitting
crouched and hugging her backpack

no name
of the station

Public announcement : Future is an accident

Klang
kablang

Future is dumber than you think

Klang
Kablang

Public announcement : are you dumb ?

Annie gets up, looks straight at the speaker and shouts

Future is an accident
Future is dumb

Annie : Past is surreal

Public Announcement : Past is surreal

Annie : When you reach the future , you already are in the present

Public Announcement : Future is an accident

Public Announcement : Somehow , somewhere

you signed on the eternal scroll

Klang, klang
Kablang

Visual capture

The train just met with an
accident

But there was that other train
that seemed in a hurry

It just hurtled past
past the derailed scene
of accident

Public announcement : Welcome , to the future

Annie fades out and crawls like a big giant ant

Daniel : Hmmm

Annie : There's no absolute

Daniel : Its a Chimera , thrown at us by morons and pseudo spiritual
zombies

Annie : So you agree there's no absolute  ?

Daniel : No absolute

Annie : Yes, no absolute

Annie and Daniel suddenly evaporate and become nothing and they start fighting

Annie : Hi

I'm the absolute

Daniel : Ok so if you are

you are a despot

Rossie : Hi ( a dream voice )

I'm also the absolute

Annie : Ok, so if you too are

then you are just
water vapour

or
other such
no sense

Rossie : who cares ?

Annie : Hey

Just fuck off

There's no absolute

Daniel : Absolute is Nothing ( in a dream voice )

Annie : Nothing
Rossie : Nothing
Daniel : Nothing

Rossie : So?

Annie : let's propose
a corollary

Nothing's absolute ?

Rossie : Yes

Daniel : It's a problem of postulation , either Absolute is nothing or

Nothing's absolute

Rossie : Well ?

Annie : Oh just fuck off

Annie : Truth & Fact are so
profaned

Daniel : I'm bored of the absolute

Annie : Absolute is a zombie , trained to eat you

thesocratespot: AAUW : Chapter LXXXIVII : Theory of Trizophenia - IV

Daniel and Annie were oblivious to the spectacle around, they were dancing like two people immersed in the act, the music seemed never ending, it source remained a mystery, after the 9th Symphony came Brahms, then Strauss the music just kept flowing and despite all the nature's fury outside somehow people around seemed to have gathered just outside the hall, peering thru the frosty, misty glass - watching in awe, clapping, cheering, singing, wine seemed available in abundance and everyone was merry.

But nature seemed decisive - it was at its battering best.

But, nobody really cared.        

thesocratespot: AAUW : Chapter LXXXIVI: Theory of Trizophenia - III

Daniel and Annie were laughing, they were both floating on the effects of alcohol, but they had not lost control of their subject of discussion - Trizophrenia.

Daniel mused loudly

Anne, you mean to say these 3 are so evolved that they really cannot destroy each other ? that they can only hurt or damage or cause some discomfort to each other ? but they are really not in a position to annihilate either of them ?

Annie was dancing and prancing, mocking an imagined gymnast at a performance and Daniel was playing along holding her by the hip as Annie bent backwards with her right arm stretched backward and her left arm stretched in an horizontal angle, there wasn;t music around, they had assembled in a large, tall hall belonging to a friend who had arranged for a butler, food and drinks for them, it was furnished just enough for the two spend some time together. It was a splendidly decorated baroque hall, with several Gothic and Grecian aesthetic appeal.

The hall had no carpet and there was echo that said nobody lived inside that large dome. The more Annie and Daniel shouted the more asymmetric their  conversation became - due to the echo, the sound of footwear tapping while dancing and their laughs.

Annie had to pull Daniel close to her and almost whisper into his ear - listen, there's a hierarchy of power -

Life cannot destroy nature
Nature cannot destroy life
Cosmos cannot destroy nature
Nature cannot destroy Cosmos


Suddenly, Annie and Daniel were dancing to the 9th Symphony. Nobody knew where the music came from. And suddenly they could hear sounds of thunder, lightning and showers belting the scorched earth - the hall inside reverberated in psychedelic colours from yellow, burgundy to bright gold and silver, the whole hall seemed swaying and shaky.             

thesocratespot: AAUW : Chapter LXXXIIV : Theory of Trizophenia - II

Taking forward the theory , said Annie,

She was talking to Daniel.

Discussing an emerging stream of thought that she had defined as Trizophrenia.

The two were meeting after a long hiatus, both somehow drifted into their own individual realms - Daniel, went reclusive, living inside remote islands, travelling discreet and practicing the art of silence, fervent attempts by friends went futile, making him to talk or correspond or communicate became impossible and that's why Annie was excited to meet him when he called her after such a long time, she was so overwhelmingly surprised by the call.

Daniel looked pale, drained of blood and flesh - he was just bones and skin, his hair had become thin and his dents betrayed signs of being out of proteins. But he retained his laugh, his intellect was intact and despite his love of staying reclusive he hardly bothered moralising Annie when she ordered for the tow of them.

Annie ordered Vodka and Daniel preferred Bourbon. And that renewed a long lost friendship.

A few drinks and Annie and Daniel were immersed in their debate - Annie was saying

The

  1. Cosmos     
  2. Nature 
&

      3. Human life  

are mutually exclusive, any semblance of symbiosis are  all merely mathematical , each exist without the others overt dictatorship. 

Daniel smiled, a wry smile and responded with an OK, shifted his posture a bit, bent closer to Annie holding his drink in his hand and looking deep into Annie's eyes asked - 

If human's are exclusive to nature and have symbiotic connection , how do you think we breath ? why are we dependent on nature for food? Why are we imprisoned by all acts of nature ? 

Annie was ready to retort - listen Danny, micro level dependencies aren't what I'm referring to, a fish living inside water is imprisoned by water, accepted but nothing stops the fish from jumping out and die. So, the independency I'm referring to is at a macro level - let me list my questions to you :

  1. How much does the cosmos care about the Universe ?
  2. How much does Nature care about life on earth ?
  3. How much do you care about the cosmos or nature ?
In your everyday routine ? you just walk, run, talk. So does nature and so the cosmos. All 3 are so deeply immersed in their own purpose - neither really cares for the other, in fact no such thing exists, this mutual dependency - dependency is a default corollary but it isn't proof  of anything symbiotic. 

The cosmos , the nature and life on earth have evolved on their own. Neither has created the other, neither really is committed to the others survival. In terms of power equation, I feel probably Nature is more autonomous and maybe life is the weakest in terms of autonomy - but none really needs to take responsibility for the other.  

Are you saying, Daniel asked absent mindedly , that the planets and the universal zodiac just happened to align themselves due to some default energy known as gravitation ? that the cosmos is not even aware that such a thing exists ? and nature, really does not know its own elements ? part of it being oxygen that we breath ? or a fish or a bird or a worm thrives on? 

Annie looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes and said yes 


And drowned her glass of Vodka.
