Inception

Inception has had many reviews. Critics analyzing various dimensions of the film. Its nice to hear the reviews each one presenting his own ideas about the pros and cons of the movie. But as far as I saw there was not a single review that dealt in depth with the concept. This instigated me to write this piece.

Primarily, Nolan deserves an applause for the conceptualization. When one sits and thinks about the inception of this idea, you get plenty. One idea which seemed suitable is this. I hope you have heard of the term psycho-analysis. Its used to study the inner depths of the brain. Narco-analysis is used by certain agencies to get information out of some interesting people. Thus, this should have been the starting point for the writer. By the likes of 'Matrix' shared-dreaming concept must have been incorporated.

The mere concept of extraction is based on real life but the concept of shared dreaming is the sci-fi part.It may indeed sound like fiction when one says one can plant an idea in one's mind. In reality you can do that on your own self.

You would have definitely heard of meditation or hypnosis. Indeed, meditation is also a hypnosis that you perform on your self. As you go deeper and deeper into your mind it gets ugly and things go out of control. One needs copious amounts of practice as said in the form of a skilled extractor to guard against the volatility inside the greater depths of your brain. I advise you to try meditating and plant simple thoughts into your brain to become a nice person.

Try meditating. Try yoga. Inception is just a cinematic representation of meditation. Hope Nolan sees this ;-)

Science and Religion II

As the next step in my proceedings on this topic I would like to present the views of a renowned theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. 

Einstein was of the view that religion originated because of fear. Fear may trigger the concept of the fear of supernatural elements in your mind. But that just was not the cause. Man never bothered about supernatural elements at first. "With primitive man it is above all fear that evokes religious notions - fear of hunger, wild beasts, sickness, death" was the opinion of Einstein.It is indeed, very true. Man created illusory beings, later renamed as GOD, to be responsible for the happenings. Either birth or death or all situations man faced were thought to be conceived by Him. Thus, the concept of God was born.

Man had always wanted to blame things on someone. We haven't changed till now. We still hold God responsible for our fate, except for the atheists ofcourse. Thus, man created an illusory being called God. To account for this, Einstein says "since at this stage (primitive man) of existence understanding of causal connections is usually poorly developed, the human mind creates illusory beings more or less analogous to itself on whose wills and actions these fearful happenings depend".Thus the concept of God was created. God had been given the human form. Man was not so imaginative to design some other form ;-) .

He wanted to secure their favor to be protective of  him. To secure his favor meant sacrifices or certain actions. This concept was easy. You need to do something to get something. Its not always a one way. It is reciprocative in this world.

Thus the concept of God was born out of fear of the unknown. It is to give courage, believe in what people do, to feel safe and secure that the conceptualization of God happened.This is clearly said by Einstein as "The desire for guidance, love, and support prompts men to form the conception of God. This is the God of Providence, who protects, disposes, rewards, and punishes; the God who, according to the limits of the believer's outlook, loves and cherishes the life of the tribe or of the human race, or even or life itself; the comforter in sorrow and unsatisfied longing; he who preserves the souls of the dead. This is the conception of God.".

As more and more people started believing a group was formed. This group conceived a way of life. A way of life to please God. Thus, people grouped under this conceived way. United under the same principles and ideals groups were formed. These became religions as the groups conglomerated. Thus, a large group having common beliefs forms a religion. Thus religion arrived on the earth.Even today gangs exist only when something is common between its elements.Unity in diversity is possible when there exists common ideologies or beliefs.Religion thus established its footprint with fervor.

DUSK



It wasn't until dusk
That I sat on my desk
With a pen in my clutch
And a paper from the bunch

It was then I realized
I had been mesmerized
Caught in the circumference
Without any persevearnce
In the swirling whirlpool
Where cunning minds pool

So I write this piece
To give my mind peace
When my worries drain
Clear becomes my brain
So I become abreast
To face my life's test

Science and Religion


The brain is considered as the most wonderfully constructed organ in our body. Well-crafted I would say. Have you ever given a thought about how the human body would have come along the path of evolution? To state the fact it was chosen over a billion other combinations that failed to establish its own kind. We the human race, Human beings called as homo sapiens have established our foot s firmly. Our roots run deep. It’s also too complex and complicated.

Religion has always said that earth, humans began to exist because god said so. He created this universe. In the same sense, man now alters lives’, he can make new atoms by fusing existing atoms. Doesn’t man compete with GOD? Man has started to assume the role of god. 

So much for equating man to god. Man can never become god. I can strongly say this, because god is one who knows how particles can be created from raw energy. For the atheists, can anyone out there, say how the universe came into existence or to put in better words, how did energy come into existence? There was someone who did that. Something that our brains can never understand. It is because we fail to believe in our creation. God does exist but in the form of energy or vibrations. To feel him you need to mend your senses.

Human bodies are not just physical. They have what you would call a soul. The soul rests in the inner depths of the brain. The brain consists of two different parts namely, the conscious and the sub-conscious brain. The conscious brain is the logical mind. It tells you what you teach it to. The subconscious brain, housing the soul, holds the answers for all the questions. The scientific, religious, abstract questions. Everything has an answer within you. You just have to dwell inside and find them out. Imagination or visualization is the key to open the lock, your questions.

The sub-conscious brain is the most powerful computer on earth. Harness its power to obtain the maximum benefit. This article is a result of the experiments on myself, which I would be discussing in the near future.
