God said...

I was sitting today (8th June 2008) after more than three weeks of continuous work... I just wondered, is whatever bad that happens to me the work of "God" (i.e. the ubiquituous "sense" prevailing in matter+energy) or of man... But man is the only animal that has sense, logic, reason... We are god in some way... I had heard there is god in every man and animal and lifeless thing... I had also heard that god is in more things that we can see or feel... And i had this very obvious thought after so long... God is the sum of all sense/lack of it, the sum of parts... the problem we have is that the number of parameters we have to integrate it over is unclear... We are sense/God manifesting itself...

The first question that came to my mind is, what is the purpose of god manifesting his evil through man and then getting rid of it through good in another man? Secondly, is there any need of purpose? Can't all this be natural? Our trouble is that we want to find sense in everything... But aren't we sense ourselves?

Let me come to the point now... Maybe due to some cosmic disturbance, i was unable to have any favourite colour till class 4, unless a friend's question forced me... It was the same disturbance that made me not find the distinction between god and nature... I am not getting confused between ends & means (good over evil & forces of nature) and actor & victim (God & man)... Let's proceed.

Theorem 1. Understanding the means of an actor in a particular scenario may be cautiously applied to the means of the actor in another scenario...
Theorem 2. Understanding of the means of an actor in a particular scenario can be cautiously generalised to the means of the actor in all scenarios...
Premise : Nature = Subset (God)
Hypothesis: Law of nature on earth holds true for events occuring even outside earth. In simple words, the fittest animal/sense... The fittest animal now rules the earth... the fittest "man" of the universe will rule the universe...
Precaution: The law of averages is at work here... The fittest man does not rule his area... So Society = Subset (Nature) & Man = Subset (Society)... but the law of nature does not hold here... Note that man decided to violate this rule when he created a culture that tries to save even the most unfit human...

I will not try to prove my hypothesis here because there is something more important i want to talk about... It is the point about consequence... What will happen/What will we do if we are not the fittest "man" animal specie in the universe???

The second point is about the process of reaching the end consequence... There are two perspectives to this:
1. The progressive concept: The software cycle demonstrates the concept upto a point... It starts with releasing the alpha version of the software which demonstrates the basic idea... Then the beta version is released where the intended functionality is demonstrated, but it is not complete... The final product is free of bugs/errors and has the functionality required... The manifestation of sense is the final purpose of life, the purpose of god... Sense brings with it the ability to make decisions based on the inputs and relevant context... The first manifestation started with the emergence of instincts (alpha version)... Then emerged base emotions and associated inference mechanism of secondary emotions (beta version)... Finally man had logic and reasoning (final product)... Thats about it...
2. The shifting equilibrium concept: While the sense is manifesting itself, there is a sequence of contexts followed by decisions which develop into further contexts and again decisions... As a better sense manifests itself, the lesser sense must give way... but this happens over a period of time... there are times when lesser sense has its way... look at society and man... this is what is giving way to the law of averages...

Now i come to the third point of where do we stand in the process of reaching the end consequence... the progressive concept is working within us to make decisions based on instinct/emotion/logic in the shifting equilibrium concept... cumulatively all of us men work against all other species to follow the law of nature... individually one member of the species is usually trivial and neglible in the bigger scheme of things... similarly, as the "man" specie from earth, there is a great chance that we might be trivial in the bigger things of the universe, let alone being the fittest in the universe... so arent our efforts futile?

The concept of futility is the easiest to resort to and is the most obvious "logical" explanation... But there is more to it... you are a part of the sum of sense... there is a part of god each being right? there is no one sitting and passing a judgement on any of us... there is nothing that says a man who follows emotion is higher or lower than the man who follows his logic or instincts... you are free to choose... but with freedom comes responsibility... problem is no one knows the freedom and hence cannot guide about the responsibility that needs to be exercised... you have people around you and people who care... you may or may not decide for more than yourself...
