Is this the MISSING LINK? (#12)

I felt for a long time that there is a missing link between Meditation (a great tool to examine myself and understand inner conflicts) and Science (a great tool to solve external problems).

But this thought(I don't know where it came from) seemed to answer this.

What I understood is that Meditation is being taught in a wrong way. 

It is not about focussing on breath or image or sound. It is not to control the thoughts and focus on something else because CONTROLLING doesn't work.  In my experience, whenever I tried to control my thoughts or behavior, it came back with double the intensity either immediately or at a later point of time.

There is great wisdom in Buddha and his Vipassana technique that I failed to understand first. It is about closing the eyes and OBSERVING or WITNESSING our thoughts and sensations in the first place.

It helped me understand that the mind is just a "thought vending machine" that generates thoughts at random. Reflecting on the material I read/watched on psychology also made me realize how vulnerable I am. (Even a slight change in room temperature can affect my thoughts/behavior.) 

But the greatest discovery is to understand that there is a system (or intelligence) within me that has the power to observe all this phenomenon. 

Perhaps, meditation is all about understanding that System- a system that is beyond the thoughts, a system that is BEYOND THE MIND.

I EXPERIENCED the manifestation of this wonderful system while building this blog without following any rules, by being honest with myself, without the fear of failure, without pressure, without expectations, without the idea of competition, without the intention to sound smart, without any external incentives whatsoever. During that state, where there was no imposed identity of me, when I was absolutely free, I lost touch with the world.

Perhaps, the ORIGINAL CREATIONS (a piece of art or a scientific invention) manifest during this state- a state of NO-MIND. During that state, the person is not there.

Some Creators/Scientists mistakenly conclude that it is "him/her" that is creating. They mistake it for their own EGO. They stop at the EGO. 

But I feel that it is not the EGO. It is not the MIND. It is a system BEYOND MIND. 

I understood why the EUREKA moments happen in Bathtubs, showers or in sleep when people don't actively think or use their reasoning mind. 

Reasoning mind is a wonderful tool. But, it is not everything. 

Perhaps it is because Reasoning mind(Pre-frontal cortex) is the latest development in evolution where as life has started billions of years ago. 

It seems this is the missing link.

What's the fundamental difference between HUMANS and other living species?

It is the CURIOSITY. No other living species has it.

Perhaps, that is the why we find it in CHILDREN. (Unfortunately, most of us find it only in childhood because as we grow either parents or the society impose their own ideas by saying things like practicality, neighbors, competition, discipline, rules etc..,).

Perhaps, if we don't pollute the children with these fabricated concepts and let them free to pursue their curiosity, they CREATE something ORIGINAL.

Perhaps, it is the CREATOR that is within each and everyone, and wants to CREATE something. 

Perhaps, curiosity is a SIGNAL.

I used to wonder why the CREATOR created life on Earth and left it like that without creating anything else afterwards.

Perhaps, the CREATION has never stopped.

Perhaps, the CREATION is happening through a few humans. 

Perhaps, it is not about the HUMANS at all in the first place.

Perhaps, HUMANS are just vehicles and there is a DRIVER.

Perhaps, HUMANS are meant to CREATE.

Perhaps, this is how the NATURE operates.

Perhaps, there is no right/wrong and good/bad for the Nature.

Perhaps, NATURE creates something and corrects itself.

Perhaps, the theory of EVOLUTION is right in saying that Nature operates through iterations.

Perhaps, we humans just happen to be just the highest form of the evolution at this point of time. 

Perhaps, it is because of this reason, we seem to have the ability to understand all this. 

Perhaps, this all-powerful yet seldom accessed system within us is the MISSING LINK. 

Is this not?

DON'T  BELIEVE ME.

DON'T AGREE WITH ME.

THIS IS JUST MY EXPERIENCE.

DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE.

EXPLORE AND EXPERIMENT WITH YOURSELF.

By the way, what is that one thing you badly wanted to do in your life but not doing it?

(I don't want your answer. I just wanted to ask.)
