reality matters...

In my quest to truth and life, I have had partial glimpses of quantum physics once in a while.
'Reality' and 'matter' are two words that pop up all the time.
Does matter exist at all? Is it all in your mind? So, does the mind exist? Who is the real seer? Can the observer be observed?
Something tells me [call it belief or conditioning] that the world is real. That reality exists. And yes, there's something that controls reality. Quantum physics believes that we are all responsible for our own reality. But I think we need to take it a step backward.
Dwaita school of philosophy believes that the Lord of Prana abides within each of us and that Lord Hari abides the Lord of Prana. So you get the 3 layer reality here.
The philosophy also states that each of us is unique, so you get where choice and free will came from. But there's also collective consciousness that plays a huge role in the world. Lord Vishnu holds us all together because he's the Ultimate observer and the One who shapes our reality.
I always thought there was a conflict. There isn't.
It all fits in better than I imagined.

[a revelation!
until, of course, I find the next one... :)
and of course, there's a lot lot more to it than what i just dotted down]

stories?!

I attended an interview today. The interview went really well. The interviewer wanted me to tell a story. A story about everything - business, life and entertainment. But he wouldn't pay me well enough. He used the word "worth" while talking about my writing. Such a person is not "worth" working for?!
Let me get to the point straight away! The interviewer lied to me throughout. I smelt things fishy from the very start. But I couldn't see any reason for him to lie. I mean I wouldn't have taken the job anyway! I knew it the moment he said interacting with my mother was a form of business too. And he also said my grand mom was Mother Earth. :P worse still, he said his thinking had a lot of depth. I couldn't help the condescension because he said my writing lacked depth after he saw a piece i wrote in 10-15 mins. [and, I thought I wrote pretty well.] The world is full of condescending and pseudo intellectuals; me included. No mercy there! :D
His business plan was to connect the world with business and money! exactly what i am against. He said religion and politics aren't good enough to bind the world. So his solution was money!

I somehow always manage to meet the most strange people of all. I have been through some of the most freaky interviews so far! they are hilarious in retrospect. Not very often do you see people walking around telling they played under Kapil Dev and that the same person is also Ram Gopal Varma! :D Yes, you heard me right!
The world.
is a farce. :D

Sometimes I wonder, what are we building our society on!? Why do we have such people running the world! I could imagine people applauding after his talk on a public forum. Those talks are not worth our time! actually, I am not angry! I pity them. yes. But nothing more. Laughed over it a li'l bit. but that's about it.

I was having dinner while I saw a really young girl on a tv channel. She was about 7-8 and she was telling everyone that the world is unfair. She wants to be a lawyer because she wants to provide justice to those who deserve.
I was wondering when was our society built on fear! When I was 7-8, the world was green and happy! I am sure I had issues with the colour of my school bag. But I loved all people alike. This requires more thought! are we all choosing fear over love?!

Do our stories lack depth? Or are we narrating the "wrong" stories around here?

Phew! I feel too responsible to act!
I wish Bill Hicks was ACTUALLY available for children's parties!
