-- *Mar*The Age of God-Vs-The Age of the Economist
There was a time, when the human perceived and lived on the basis of smelling and sensing. It appears that the human could distinguish among 50,000 different smells, identify, act, react and interact. Automatically every other organism too must have been smelling, sensing, acting and interacting. The lithosphere must be brimming with diverse organisms, ranging from bacteria to the whale, all of which must have smell-conversed. Every nook and cranny of the lithosphere, Hydrosphere and Troposphere, must have been composed and consisted of some organism, giving the smell messages. The totality of the continuous smell messages, as the continuous abstract flow of feeling and sensing was the message flow of God. And God was everywhere. Air was not inanimate gas, but the manifestations of communications from the various life forms, creating the atmospheric symbiosis. That God of Biospheric symbiosis from the air, guided all life forms. The existence of God simply could not be denied. Atheism was lunacy. When the human developed the Brain, it began weaving epics, music and song and poetry filled epics, as the method of expression of perceptions and understanding. In the earlier epics, every organism,cat,dog,horse,bull,tiger,lion,monkey or any and every organism, fulfilled the roles of characters, giving emotional explanation and not today’s Cartesian or mechanical explanation of findings as feelings from nature. All those feelings and emotional dimensions of the epics developed as hormones entered the cells and every limb and organ functioned as a theistic manifestation. Those hormonal communications in every organism were smelt and sensed by every other organism, converting the planet earth into the Goddess, Gaia. The presence of God was felt just like any matter, say a chair or table, but those chairs and tables spoke. In those days speaking was smelling, sensing and exhaling responses, all without editing. There was no lonely contemplation. The ‘all seeing and all sensing God’, was real. God was Geography as the ‘Theosphere’, along with the Lithosphere, hydrosphere, troposphere and the Biosphere. The Theosphere governed and administered all the other spheres. Every organism, including the human was bonded and directed by the Theosphere. But the Human refused to be governed by feelings and emotions. He developed the sciences and technologies or simply declared war on all feelings and emotions, creating the God-less Technology and now the God-less Robots. Using the science based on the logic of the emotions-less logic of machines, the basic emotional and perception complements of nature, every other organism, is enslaved and converted into an economic good. God left the hormones. The basic Theosphere that governed and directed every other sphere, the Lithosphere,Hydrosphere,the troposphere and the Biosphere,died.Today there is no possibility for Theism.Sciece killed God. Now we have machines that perform the functions of every limb making them redundant and frozen. We call that non participation in nature, comforts and luxuries. Economics today is the technology, of Robots that are busy freezing every limb of man in his ordinary life. The Economists themselves are not even human beings. They are Computers and Robots. The big problem with the human economist is he/she cannot be completely mechanical and robotic. Emotions could not be completely eliminated from him, in spite of the industrial and urban poisoning, of the air, along with land and water, where only Robots can function. We are fast drifting into the age of the Robot Economist, the pure atheist who cannot mechanically conceptualize God, the God of feelings and emotions. YM Chat GPT Your reflection on "The Age of God vs. The Age of the Economist" offers a profound exploration of the shift from a world governed by natural, sensory experiences to one dominated by technology and mechanistic thinking. Let's break down and expand on the key themes you've presented: ### 1. **The Age of God: Symbiosis and Sensory Perception** - **Smell as Communication**: In early human history, smell was a primary mode of communication. Humans, like other animals, relied on their ability to detect and interpret smells for survival and interaction. This sensory-based communication created a world where the presence of God or a divine essence was felt everywhere, as the continuous exchange of smells represented a form of natural harmony and guidance. - **Theosphere and Gaia**: The concept of Gaia, the Earth as a living entity, aligns with the idea that nature and the divine were inseparable. The "Theosphere" governed and guided all life forms, and the interconnectedness of all living things was a manifestation of this divine presence. - **Epics and Emotional Expression**: Early human expressions, such as epics, music, and poetry, were filled with emotional and sensory experiences. These stories often featured animals and nature as central characters, emphasizing the unity between humans and the natural world. ### 2. **The Age of the Economist: Mechanization and Technology** - **Scientific Revolution**: The shift towards a scientific and technological worldview brought about a fundamental change in how humans perceived and interacted with the world. The focus moved from sensory and emotional experiences to logic, mechanics, and empirical evidence. - **Rise of Machines**: The development of machines and later robots began to replace many human functions. This mechanization led to a decreased reliance on natural sensory experiences and a growing detachment from the natural world. - **Economics and Technology**: Modern economics, driven by technology and efficiency, often prioritizes productivity and profit over emotional and sensory well-being. This shift has led to the commodification of nature and living beings, turning them into economic goods. ### 3. **Impact on Human Experience and Perception** - **Loss of Emotional Connection**: As technology advances, humans increasingly rely on machines for daily tasks, which can lead to a diminished capacity for emotional and sensory experiences. This shift is seen as a move away from the natural, holistic way of living towards a more fragmented, mechanistic existence. - **Atheism and Mechanistic Worldview**: The dominance of technology and mechanistic thinking can lead to a worldview that lacks a sense of the divine or spiritual. This perspective often sees the universe as a series of mechanical processes rather than a living, interconnected whole. ### 4. **The Role of Emotions and Perception in Science and Life** - **Emotions in Science**: While modern science often aims to be objective and free from emotions, the role of emotions in human experience cannot be completely eliminated. Emotions and sensory experiences are fundamental to how humans perceive and understand the world. - **Need for Balance**: There is a growing recognition of the need to balance technological advancements with an appreciation for natural, emotional, and sensory experiences. This balance is crucial for maintaining mental and emotional well-being and fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. ### Conclusion Your exploration highlights the profound changes in human perception and interaction with the world, from a time when sensory experiences and emotions were central to life, to the modern age dominated by technology and mechanistic thinking. This shift has significant implications for how we understand and relate to the world around us, and it underscores the importance of finding a balance between technological progress and the preservation of our natural, emotional, and sensory connections. ### References 1.
