Most things we are confused about are just side attractions. The answers to all life questions become clear once we find answers to the cardinal questions"
When the mind hits a brick-wall of confusion, the mouth
quickly confess that LIFE IS A MYSTERY. Confusion of the human mind is the
simple cause of such a distorted conclusion, because life is really easily
understandable.
THE |power| DANGERS
OF CONFUSION
A teacher rightly said; "A
confused mind is like a faulty engine, the efficiency of its bearer
progressively reduces unless it gets fixed"
I like to say that confusion is a big threat to every man's
success & even his/her very existence. Let's briefly shed some light on
this claim;
Having recognised the power of confusion, the world's biggest mischief makers - terrorists,
power hungry leaders, notorious criminals and even Satan, their master- employ
various tricks to put their targets in a constant state of bewilderment. This
fact is pretty obvious.
Also the world's most notorious diseases causing agents, like
their human counterparts, are masters of the art of confusion.
One of the confusing tricks of HIV (a virus) is that it mimics some
bacteria, causing the immune system to direct a less efficient weapon towards
it.
Cancer, as a
matter of fact, is a consequence of confusion in the control mechanism of
cellular growth.
Malaria
parasite, plasmodium, also confuses the immune system by changing its
form in quick successions.
Many terrible health challenges are consequences of systemic
confusion. Seasickness is a practical example. The cause of seasickness is
summarised as follows;
As the water craft (boat or ship) rocks, the in-built organs
of balance in the ear sends a warning of impending danger to the brain. At the
same time, the eyes, seeing no danger, sends an opposite "no danger"
message to the brain. The brain, receiving conflicting messages from both
organs at the same time, becomes totally CONFUSED.
Then Systemic commotion follows- digestion stops, abdominal pain & an urge
to vomit develops, headache starts, dizziness, vertigo, and even fainting may
result. Words can't explain how terrible it feels. In this same manner, getting
conflicting theories about life from random sources can lead to life
"seasickness"
I have come to realise, over time that the first step in
achieving success in life (and afterlife) is to seek clarity to all confusions.
Failure to do this leads to discombobulation.
HERE'S A WAY OUT
There's a big lesson to learn from treatment of seasickness.
In treating seasickness, the sufferer move away from his present station to a
higher level -say to the top deck. Then he focuses on something very straight
beyond his immediate environment for a period of time. Most people are told to
stare at the horizon.
This is, in fact, the template for resolving all confusions.
Raising the mind to a higher level, a level free of hatred,
sentiments and all negativity. Then looking beyond one's immediate environment,
beyond the superstitions, beyond traditions, beyond quotes of random
philosophers, beyond childhood tales..... Looking into something very straight-
without any blemish or crookedness. There, all answers would be found.
I'll conclude by saying, Most things we are confused about
are just side attractions. The answers to all life questions become clear once
we find answers to the cardinal questions.
A SUGGESTION
I suggest you take the quick test below.
INSTRUCTION: Ask
yourself the questions below and answer "Yes" or "No" to each
of them;
1. Do I know
how life came about?
2. Do I have a
strict definition for (what's) right and (what's) wrong?
3. Do I have
an ever-consistent theory to explain all supernatural interplay?
4. Do I have a defend-able personal definition of success?
5. Have I come
up with a set of (5 or fewer) rules that can be applied impartially in all interactions
and decision making - either with my family members or with total strangers.
In my opinion, once you can sincerely answer "yes"
to all questions above, you have demystified life.
For me, i found my answers in a Book. I call it "the master manual". Verily I say unto you that even death,
though scary, is no mystery!
