Reptiles of the Mind.


'The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.'

— William Blake



How does it feel when someone takes over your personality and psyche?


He was, in fact, not one, but two. First one was mostly silent. Second one was fierce, hyperactive at nights. 

They thought there was only one. As usual they were wrong about things, wrong as always as they are while interpreting things. The truth is that these Two are always together. They complete each other. Creating a balance with reality. Always careful of losing their way. 

He was on a quest that night. A quest for truth. He thought he could handle the subconscious realm of mind but reality was quite grasping. He was absorbed in the situation, like a soul trapped in a body. When a soul is trapped in a body, the only way out for it is through death. I am saying trapped because once a soul receives enlightenment, it won’t need a body. However, through knowledge it can use a body to perform an act but enlightenment doesn't comes as a easy pie.


Ignorant and unenlightened souls can take a large number of lifetimes just to make a little jump (a quantum leap) in the field of consciousness. It is also because there are dark evil entities that resonate on low frequencies and are afraid of light. They have made the mind of human their home and they keep him from realizing his true potential. These evil beings keep humans in the darkness and keep sucking their energies life after life and generation after generation.


He was only interested in getting out of that reality, he was in. He also, almost, made up his mind to end his life. Fear of death is life in itself. He thought ending his life could free his soul, but he was already trapped inside the matrix and his quest was for the only substance that was driving him towards the search for the simplest truth. Truth as simple as 1+1=2.

Now, he was trapped in his mind.


If we could equate his quest with a hunger, it would be easy to comprehend the situation. It was the hunger of his soul to feed from the ultimate truths of existence. Who was he without the body? What was his mind made of? What does his soul seek? This quest (hunger) needs to be satisfied. It would lead him to any limits. He was desperate to know the answer. 

Only after he learnt that he was a Zero (a nothing) that contained an infinity in itself, he was able to get some relief. He was nothing and yet everything. In that sense, he was one with the universe and there were infinite reflections of his soul. 

He was the One, transcendent source of everything, splitted into Two, by the psyche. Only after this truth became as obvious as 1+1=2, he was able to explore the mysteries of existence. 


The reptiles of his mind were finally striding back to the darkest recess of his psyche, where they had come from.

The Rainmaker - Fire of Zolo

PART-I It was a critical phase in the rise of human consciousness when ancient men learned to exploit the secrets of nature. They started seeing patterns in the world; from days and nights to seasons, the movement of stars, weather, and human life itself. They observed that nature works in cycles. Every beginning is followed by an end, and every end leads to a new beginning. They started symbolizing nature and its repeating cycles. However, this consciousness was not risen in every human being. In fact, most of the early people were unaware of these truths and were almost unable to comprehend the reason behind things. Only a small fraction was receptive to these new ideas and they were considered being crazy by others for having these very kind of strange ideas. For the common folks, there was no pattern, it was just as it was. The concept of an almighty creator God was not yet fully developed in that primitive human culture but mankind has started to believe, that there was a super...

Enter the Matrix

Image
  The system and the whole world around us has become the Matrix. It has become a system of enslavement. A system of lies, fraud and debauchery. This system is designed to control us. It is a serious prison for the mind, body and spirit.  What if you come to realize that everything you were taught about the world and society since you were a child, has all been a big lie. A lie that was told to you, so you never know about the truth and never rise up to your true worth. So you never reach your highest self and never become free.  This is what the Matrix does to you, It not only enslaves your body, but it enslaves your mind and soul. It is done in a proper manner, in an organized way. It is being fed into you from the moment you are born into this planet.  As you grow, your true identity is snatched away from you and your mind is fed with lies and fake facts. Those facts are repeated over and over until you start to believe them and take them as the only ...

The Theory of Nothingness

  The Theory of Nothingness ( Originally written for India Film Project IFP s-11's 7 Days Writing Challenge ) It was a cold winter evening. A woman, in her late thirties, walks down a street in New Delhi. She took a mobile device from her bag and opened an e-hailing app on it searching for a ride. After fiddling with the mobile screen for a few moments she dialed a number, the cab driver picked the call on the other end and told her that he would be reaching within 10 minutes.  After a few minutes the cab arrived. She opened the door and entered the cab. The driver, a young man, who must be in his mid forties, greeted her while lowering the volume of his cab radio and requested her to enter her destination in the app. She did as she was told and then she asked him about the estimated time to reach the destination.  The driver glanced at his mobile screen and after a moment of calculation he gently replied, “25 to 30 minutes utmost, ma’am.”  “Okay!” She uttered. ...
