There are a lot of things which can be sensed but not explained. Labeling them is one way Humans bring these aspects into regular discourse.

Labels can easily become beliefs and this is what we see here. That is my understanding.

I only suspect that it is beneficial for us in some way.

I used to have that opinion till I learnt personality theory & how people perceive the world very differently. Couple this with Self-organisation, it seems tht religion is not going away.

The thing is I might not need religion but I realised that others do. Superstition is a diff matter though.

It's just an intuitive wrapper on the underlying phenomenon?

I believe in complexity science and the phenomenon of emergence.

True 😀

Reminds me of the Katha Upanishad from India - where the seeker called as Nachiketa is given a boon by Yama the God of death and Nachiketa poses this question to Yama - 'It is not well understood what happens when we die? Can you explain this to me?'

Something which lingers on and is connected.

In one ancient Indian book - a seeker asks Yama the God of death - 'It is not well understood what happens when we die? Do we really die or do we linger on?' I thought that was a very interesting way to put it.

I am aligned to complexity science and the phenomenon of emergence. Some things simply emerge out of the underlying phenomenon.

Lol.. 😂

Yeah...first time I'm seeing a beetle with such clever camouflage.. I wonder if it changes colour.

True.. but it's still A Call to Adventure in Joseph Campbell's words!! 😃

Wish you luck!!

Just to add - the website habits.social was a similar activity. Learnt a bunch of things while making the website.

Look forward to create a community of people who want to become their better selves. 📚💪

The knowledge is out there we just need to internalize it.

Thanks for the support 😄🤞🤞

So looking forward to this new fun activity and the torture of it!! 😜

Though I am not very sure why I do these things 🤦🤦

And then rinse and repeat for each video 😅😅

It is a journey but I am now doubling down and committing to complete it.

I had done the same with writing a book - for nearly 10 years. And finally the book is with an Editor for a final evaluation.

Then I decided that a YouTube channel will make better sense.
This has led to a flurry of activity in learning how to youtube. 😅😅

I have to get a good mic🎙️, get the right lights! Learn the camera settings, learn how to script, learn how to shoot, learn how to edit on DaVinci Resolve 🤦🤦

I then decided to short list Bhagvad Gita as the first book.

So first hurdle - I had read the Gita over ten years ago.

Therefore I had to read it a few times again 😅😅 - before I could even think of anchoring a group reading.

Wow! Thanks for cheering me on 😃
Love your handle! 😄

True 👍
