We Are A Scam by Santosh Jha (best books to read for self development .TXT) 📖

Humanity at collective levels has always been blind to these realities and remains so. Earlier humanity could probably be forgiven for pushing fellow humans into miseries of war and distress as they were not aware of the scientific facts about human nature and functioning of human mind consciousness. However, contemporary humanity cannot be pardoned for continuing to ape and even augment the same age-old regressive and degenerative stupidities and insanities.

It is tragic and calamitous for humanity that even in contemporary world, there is no single timeline that runs through all 7 billion plus people on the Earth. This is scam – a shade of the original scam of the consciousness. Most people still live in mid-ages in their ideological and perceptional world of Reality. Big chunk of global human population is living in before Christ era. Even among educated urban population, majority of people are in a timeline, centuries and decades back. They may be living with all 21st century technologies, gadgets and lifestyle choices but their mental, perceptional and ideological timeline is still 19th century or 20th century. This scam unleashes untold calamitous probabilities in human world.

This happens because of failure of humanity to integrate knowledge, upgrade it and share it with all layers of humanity. This is also a huge challenge for larger humanity to understand and accept that Time is not about dates and year on a calendar. It is rather everything about being ‘at’ or ‘behind’ of Holism of Reality, depending upon how much ‘part’ of Reality one associates his or her consciousness with. It may be said that it is also a big blame on scientific community as they even could not reach out the scientific idea of Time, to squeeze the philosophies and faith-related populism out of its understanding among common masses. Universality of acceptance of singular Holism of Reality however has the best prospect in 21st century and this is the singular agenda for all 7 billion plus people. This is the way to de-scam our minds.

What we are trying to arrive at is that different men and women automatically and innately grow up as an ‘identity’ or set of ‘identities’. This happens because of the different tangible and intangible elements in external milieus, which a child is exposed to in his or her journey from childhood to adulthood. The external milieus may constitute of both tangible and intangible elements. However, we all know that the most dominant element of culture in the external is essentially geographical and climatic in nature. The Earth we live in is big and diverse, with different and extreme geographical and climatic zones. The cultures broadly reflect the thoughts, behaviors and action, which the geography and climatic elements necessitated. As geography and climate are the most powerful tangible elements, presenting the most impacting ‘Causality’ for human consciousness, different cultures emerged in different physical zones but they are essentially the shades of the singular Causality. However, average person is always affected by cultural ‘Identities’ and seldom thinks of the singular elementality of cosmic construct as the unifying force. This is scam and we all need to unlearn it.

Moreover, every child is born with different ‘Internal’ milieus as well. We know from our knowledge of science that there are broadly eight brain types and therefore 16 different mental attitudinal people in this world. So, we know that overall, there are seven shades or memes of Consciousnesses in this human world, depending upon the type of brain a child is born with and shades of external milieus it grows into. This construct of Causality affecting human consciousness and engendering different ‘Identities’ must be accepted and even celebrated by humanity but tragically, the identities have become the single largest source of most conflicts and chaos in human world.

We need to understand that it is only natural, innate, intrinsic and instinctively true that different shades of Consciousnesses among men and women shall evolve with different ‘identities’. This is the way Reality expresses itself in cosmos. Therefore, we all need to celebrate and respect all different identities and also keep rooted to the idea that despite differences, the ‘Causality’ of all identities is singular. We may look different with our identities and external appearances but all 7.5 billion humans are expressions of singular Reality. Reality is always ‘contextual’ and ‘relativistic’ and therefore, there shall always be different ‘identities’, which shall keep human population in competitiveness, conflicts and hypocritical stupidities. That is why the singular human enterprise in 21st century is to accept this scam of ‘Identity-Reality’, be compassionate about differences, which these identities create and keep evolving towards a singular ‘Universal Identity’ of Compassionate Higher Consciousness.

It is also worth mentioning how politics steps in into this innate scam (fallibility and culpability) of humanity to create a situation of indispensability for themselves, even while there is no role for them. It is not that politics is the lone and sole agency of using this scam for their benefit. The religion, spiritualism, economics and even psychology are equal partners in the ‘crime’. The politics is however the parent-apparent of all of them as it aligns all other accomplices to this malicious craftsmanship of creating and accentuating identities and identity-conflicts for their ‘mandate’ and ‘legitimacy’.

The idea of Nation-State and mythical idea and idealism of Nationalism are the scams, which polity created out of the mother scam of identity. The first ‘identity’, which evolution created was the entrenched Reality of Geographical-Climatic Divide. Our Earth, where humans evolved and spread, has a long history of human settlement in amazingly diverse geographical-climatic conditions. A person living in -56 degree Celsius at North Pole glaciers and another living in 56 degree Celsius at Equatorial desserts are stupendous example of the brilliance of adaptation potential of humanity. However, this diversity innately created diversities of morphological, cultural, attitudinal, behavioral, sociological and psychological identities. It was only natural that human settlements on Earth evolved with this entrenched potential of competitiveness based on ‘Identity-Diversity’ and as early humans had a tough life to lead; it was only natural that competitiveness and conflicts for available resources and survival threats has an innate and ingrained element of ever-present violence.

These primary identities naturally branched off into many others and humanity kept adding conflicts and violence in personal as well as collective spaces. However, what every common man and woman must remember that in the long history of humanity, the average men and women, living in peace with whatever they had and wherever they were, never accepted and encouraged war and violence. It was always the polity and economy, and its handful of so-called ‘warriors’, who led, funded and designed wars. The culpability with common men and women however has always been that they mandated and legitimized; even adored and worshipped those warriors of polity and economy, who won the battles, even at the cost of millions of lives of ‘other’ humans.

Human history is a ghastly and deplorable document of human stupidities and hypocrisies, which killed millions in wars and wreaked calamitously brutal experiences on billions. Early humanity, that in the middle-ages and even dark ages, preceding the age of Renaissance and Liberalism in 15-16th century surely can be forgotten and forgiven for not understanding the Reality of Universe and Reality of Humanity but there can be little justification over what the rationalists and liberals did to humanity. Now in 21st century age of scientific and objective Reality and Reason, if humanity continues to live in dark ages Time and Knowledge, then it is nothing but dead admittance that we humans are the worst species in the history of cosmos. This dubious distinction seems real and true. Living a scam and relishing it qualifies humans as the worst and most stupid species of the universe.

The political and economic scam (stupidity-hypocrisy) of Nation-State and Nationalism were created and installed in an era, when the intellectual classes had already begun to accept the primacy of individual and his/her position in all matters of societal affairs. Renaissance and liberalism accepted that affairs of humanity must be defined by secular, objective and scientific facts of life and living and not by faith and abstract mythical order. The intellectuals probably tried to install the supremacy of individual and scientific factuality in human management but they had to fail primarily because the then politics and economics did not find this idea and idealism suitable for their needs. They ensured that human societies remained divided, conflicted and violence-ridden on the basis of diverse ‘Identities’. It suited the personal ambitions and economic benefits of the handful of aristocratic elements and moneyed classes. It is manifest even to a blind, deaf and insane person that differences between people and identity-based human management suits none but polity and economy; especially those handful in leadership positions. Naturally, if average person expects the polity and economy to work for his or her welfare and wellness, then he or she is even worse than an insane person. This is scam…

Almost entire 16th to early 20th century, humanity was divided, grouped and forced into wars and other atrocities to fulfill the ambitions of a handful of those in political spheres and economic domains, to profit, by leading the masses to ‘Identity-Based’ stupidities and hypocrisies. The politics and economics of the day managed to install the stupidly hypocritical idea and idealisms of nation-state and nationalism, stoking the entrenched yet dormant divides on the lines of ‘identities’. They even used ‘Imperialism’ as a tool of nationalism and wars for perpetual mandate and legitimacy of their primacy and utility in societies. History is neatly documented with detailed maneuverings of the political and economic classes of the time in raking up identity-crises to create such stupid idealisms like nationalism and imperialism.

It is now an established scientific fact that human consciousness is essentially very localized. If left alone and not conditioned otherwise, average men and women do not bother much about ‘Others’ beyond their own family and society. They get associated and linked only to a small collective of few hundred people. It has been well documented that humanity up to 14th century was like that, irrespective of whichever territory of the Earth they lived. They were happy being connected to and associated with local groups, their small kinship or tribe and some strong leader in their small group. They had little concern with kings, kingdoms and their ambitions.

This changed as scrupulous political players of their time stirred up the ‘identity’ politics, firing up the hell of nationalistic identities and created a collective ambition of imperial enterprises to expand their national identities. They also erected the demon of wars with others so that population could be in perpetual threat and continue their mandate behind the political leadership. The economic classes, who sought profit out of this imperial ventures and nationalistic surge successfully aided and financed the politics. A small group of mercenary elements in society, good numbers of slaves and prisoners were roped in for this venture of profit. This all led to a prolonged phase in time where humanity was devastated by wars, conflicts and miseries because of the game-plan of politics and economics of their times. This culminated in two World Wars, which till date remain the darkest blot on the head of humanity. Tragically enough, most humans still do not learn any lessons from the series of scams that have robbed their dignity and peace. They rather relish the scam.

Even today, when state, governments and politics seek to continue their mandate of legitimacy, the political circle, in collaboration with economic spheres, invoke nationalism sentiments, create and aggravate identity-conflicts and perpetuate violence culture in societies. The scam themselves turn scamsters and perpetuate a series of scams on fellow humans. Still, people have little inkling about the rot.

The human nature remains essentially localized and as is the design of human consciousness, average men and women are innately attuned to live in peaceful and accommodative space within their localized milieus. If they are left in peace with their own instinctive nature, people usually do
