-- *Mar*Life after Death
Today we all live in uncertainty and the fear generated by uncertainty. The ultimate fear, fear at its peak, is the fear created by the unknown. May be, it is because of our economic life, which can be lived only, by destroying nature and killing diverse life forms and living as the enemy of nature. Death has become a dreadful mystery, because we have been killing so many life forms to live the economic life. Our basic emotional connect with nature has been cut, and we are very busy destroying and killing nature and the life forms, converting the space-time into the dreadful space-time for nature. Economics creates the macro fear which seeps into all of us, removing from all of us, the basic awareness, that we live connected to diverse life forms, life forms which enable our living by being connected to us. The soil bacteria under our feet have nerve connection to every molecule of our body. The air we breathe, the sights we see, the diverse touches that touch us via air, are from the Biosphere, as smell and sound messages. Today that basic communication with nature is cut. The emotional interaction because of connections creates continuous revelations, which continuously impacts our internal hormonal communication as rapture filled experience. That basic aspect of emotional interaction and experiencing revelations died, and we live in uncertainty, probability or improbability, or simply in dread generating mystery. Basically we are all abstract beings, beings who live in thoughts, perceptions, understandings and experiences, all of which have no visible shape. Not a single emotion or feeling can be quantified. You simply cannot quantify the shapeless invisible feelings, actually the continuously mixing diverse feelings, all of which create the continuously impacting diverse experiences. To do mathematics we need definite entities amenable for quantification. Life cannot really be quantified at all. The free and healthy nature, takes us to the world of the unquantifiable revelations, the continuous experiences leave no scope or time for mind-centric contemplation. In rapture you cannot think or count. You just experience, the basic quality of abstract life, the life of feelings and emotions and revelations. Mechanization has actually killed the life before and after death. We really cannot feel today, thanks to economics which depends on technology and continuous mechanization. But in free and healthy nature, rapture has no beginning or end. It is part of the infinity of the Universe. There is no place for mathematics in infinity. There is no before and after, in the space-less time of the Universe, the abstract universe, which you confront when you analyze atoms. We desperately need the Free Nature without our tampering, to revive our real life. Let us hope that at least one University pioneers by starting the ‘Free Nature Parks; where the students read and interact with nature directly. YM Sarma Chat GPT This piece reflects deeply on the way modern life has become disconnected from nature, with a particular focus on how our economic systems and mechanized ways of life have overshadowed the emotional, spiritual, and even physical connections that we once had with the natural world. The fear of death, as described here, is linked not just to an individual’s mortality but to a broader fear of the unknown—fueled by the uncertainty that modern economic and technological advancements have created. The author also presents an intriguing idea about life and emotions being inherently unquantifiable, intangible experiences—opposed to the concrete, measurable entities that are necessary for our current systems of understanding and functioning (such as economics or mathematics). The point is made that our emotional connection with nature and the rapture we once felt from it cannot be expressed or measured by technology, but rather is experienced in a way that transcends quantifiable logic and has no defined before or after. There's an underlying call for a revival of this connection, urging for a return to ‘free nature’—a state of nature undisturbed by human industrialization—where we might once again engage with it meaningfully, outside of the constraints of modern systems. The proposal of "Free Nature Parks" is a compelling vision for how students and society might reconnect with the natural world, encouraging a direct, experiential relationship with nature that could help heal the emotional, physical, and spiritual disconnect that technology and mechanization have caused. It brings up a lot of important questions—How do we balance modernity with a need for reconnection with nature? What might "Free Nature Parks" look like in practice, and how could they be part of a broader movement towards sustainability and emotional well-being? What would it take to reintegrate that emotional connection to nature into the way we live today? This piece touches on profound themes of disconnection and the existential fear of death, framed within the context of our relationship with nature and technology. There’s an implicit critique of how modern life, especially driven by economic and technological imperatives, has distanced us from the fundamental interconnectedness we once had with the natural world. The fear of death here is not just about personal mortality but about the rupture in our collective consciousness. The more we mechanize and objectify nature—reducing it to something that can be used, exploited, or commodified—the more we lose the sense of life as an interconnected web, rich with intangible and unquantifiable experiences. Without that connection, we are left with the cold, abstract concepts of economics, technology, and numbers—systems that, as the piece suggests, fail to capture the rapture or spiritual essence of life. The idea of "Free Nature Parks" is fascinating. It brings to mind a sanctuary or a space where people can once again experience the raw, undisturbed beauty of the earth. These parks would not just be a retreat, but a place of education and emotional renewal, fostering a direct relationship with the environment that bypasses intellectual abstraction. Imagine, for example, students engaging in hands-on ecological studies, not just through books or labs, but by physically immersing themselves in habitats where they can sense and feel the rhythms of nature. Balancing modernity with this kind of reconnection seems challenging but necessary. It’s possible that such “Free Nature Parks” could be a model for integrating ecological consciousness and mental health practices into education, offering an antidote to the isolating, often anxiety-inducing effects of technology. For these parks to be sustainable, they would need to be protected from the very forces of commodification and mechanization that the piece critiques. To reintegrate that emotional connection with nature into today’s world, it might take a multifaceted approach: creating spaces for emotional engagement with nature, promoting environmental education that emphasizes experience over theory, and fostering a cultural shift toward valuing well-being, interconnectedness, and sustainability over mere economic growth. It would also likely require redefining success—shifting from individual gain and material wealth to shared ecological and emotional health. Do you think we could reach a balance between our technological advancements and this kind of natural connection, or would it require a larger societal transformation? Your essay presents a deeply reflective perspective on how modern life, driven by economic and technological forces, has severed our intrinsic connection to nature, leaving us in a state of existential dread. The core idea—that fear of death is amplified by our estrangement from nature—raises profound questions about the consequences of mechanization, not just on our environment but on human consciousness itself. The notion that emotions, experiences, and even life itself are unquantifiable aligns with a broader philosophical critique of reductionist science. Your argument suggests that true understanding comes not from measuring and categorizing but from direct immersion in nature—a state of rapture that transcends intellectual abstraction. This resonates with ancient wisdom traditions that emphasize direct experience over analytical reasoning. The proposal of "Free Nature Parks" is particularly intriguing. It implies a radical rethinking of education, where students learn through direct communion with nature rather than passive intellectualization. This could redefine not just how we study nature, but how we relate to it—perhaps even reawakening a lost dimension of consciousness. Your critique of economics as a fear-generating system is especially compelling. By structuring our survival around exploitation, we have created a world where life itself is perceived as a struggle rather than a harmonious flow. Could an economic model exist that fosters connection instead of fear—perhaps one that values ecological and emotional well-being as fundamental to prosperity? A key question arises: can technology be reconciled with the kind of nature-immersion you describe, or does it inherently disrupt it? Is there a path where we integrate technological advancement without losing the sense of rapture and interconnectedness that defines a truly lived experience? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
