What does man hear?

The moment when the first baby arrived in life can never be determined with precise accuracy. Nevertheless, it is right to assume that the baby uttered sounds characteristic of a child. Similarly, primitive man only uttered and heard sounds, until speech evolved within man’s mind. As life evolved, man mimicked animal sounds. The primitive mind knew an animal as an…….read further

 

What does man know?

It is obvious that present day man knows a wide range of subjects by a language. But what did the first man on earth know? The logical answer would be nothing at all. Also, the first word man did know can never be known. Even to this day, it is not possible to know what a baby would first come to know.

It is also obvious that primitive man could have…….read further

What does man Understand?

Primitive men and women perceived the world by sound, scent and touch until sound evolved as words in the mind. But what does perception mean? It means ‘the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses’. 

As life evolved further, perception evolved as recognition, which meant men and women recognised and identified the world by words and not by sound, scent or touch. Even to this day, a baby after birth….…read further

 

What does man think?

To think is to mean something. So, it is obvious that the answer to the question ‘what does man think’ is: man thinks words that convey meaning. But man cannot think a meaning alone, no matter how hard he tries. Even to answer the question ‘what does man think?’ words would be required. Hence, man thinks words that convey a meaning and not a meaning by itself.

Therefore, until words evolved that……. read further

 

CONVERSATION: Marcus Stegmaier with Richard Miller (Never not here) on article ‘Real’


Hi Marcus,

Both you and I, (and the Doctor) live in a world inputted by our 5 senses. We keep our appointments within the thought of time, and we connect the dots of our whole logic structure of this transitory, created (illusory) world, with the power of our word. No genius necessary for that insight.

And it is all a miracle of sound. (As far as I see it, light is only perceived if we translate it into sound, by giving it a word. Then the word becomes the power of our attention.) The three of us will do that until our dying day.

Now through the grace of these writings we are ….. read further,

Comment: Article ‘Real’

Rani Bahadur, Michigan

Yes, I did read your article " real " . It is always amazes me to notice my mind which thinks what it experiences as real when it has no capacity to know what is real because there is nothing real about life except what you have being talking about life is a play of illusions and transforms to another illusion and how easy it is for the  mind to be caught up in the web of illusions. Mind as not yet evolved to understand the dynamics of life's play!!! I thank you for transmitting this understanding to me. I am content and Rejoicing the beauty of life.

Letter to AAU from Canada

Dear Dr. Shankar, 

I just thought to send a message to you that today I believe I understand much more what you mean when you say life is spontaneous, uncontrollable and unpredictable. Those sounds are words for the mind, that convey a meaning, yet is not that.    I thought I understood  and especially the words uncontrollable, unpredictable which, to me, meant beyond my control and out of control, that anything can happen.  And it can, as you say, but what I am understanding uncontrollable/unpredictable to mean is that life is moving or unfolding as intelligence.  And that intelligence is beyond the understanding or control of mind.  And it is the greater life or pure light  that I cannot put into words, yet is.   And this is what I see as life manifesting everywhere  and this I trust. It is like I have gone from a meaning of  words  to understanding and that understanding is liberating. I thank you so much for your guidance and clarity. If there is anything you can add, please do.
Sincerely
Linda

Dear Linda,

Live happily dear friend.

Love
Shankar

Comment: CD ‘Sophisticated Mind (1)’

Who was that man who did the first action, and what was the past, present for him, to bring about that action? What reference point of past could be present or available to that man to bring about an action? Past never existed for the first man on this …… read further

 

Comment: CD ‘World is Illusory’

Elisabeth, Netherlands

 

If nothing is there in the moment, what is the implications of it? In the moment where you are alive, living, which is life, there is nothing. What does it mean if nothing is happening in the now? Every moment of your life the mind was not present. It cannot be, it never was and never
will.… read further
