Heterogeneous reality

 



  • Brahman is homogeneous. One Truth, etc. Reality is heterogeneous. An object is recognized by its distinctness from others. So reality consists of a set of unique things (heterogeneous).

  • A search for the Oneness of all is a method to deal with the heterogeneity.

  • What goes up, comes down. When mind is focused on oneness, everything appears in the image of that. Say, All are brahman.  When the mind is gotten back to its usual fun and frolic, the more the merrier. Biological and social life needs heterogeneity.

  • To think that I am special is to deny a greater reality. To think that I am nothing, is a false humility. I am something because so chosen. Not  simply because of my thoughts.

  • A spiral goes upwards and outwards, around the arrow at the center. The heterogeneity hides the oneness within the reality.

There are people who climb the hill to see the whole valley. Others just start building in the valley. In a recent poll among doctors, five chose the first, two chose the second. More people stayed silent than answered. That too is data. The Two Modes One kind of thinking steps back. It looks for patterns, connections, the structure underneath things. It wants to understand how everything fits together before acting. Call it the overview mind . The other kind leans forward. It makes things, fixes things, tries things. It thinks by doing, and figures out the pattern later -- sometimes without naming it. Call it the maker mind . Neither is superior. They are genuinely different cognitive styles, and both are essential. What the Brain Says Neuroscience has begun to map these two modes onto actual brain circuits.   Figure 1 Three brain networks that underlie the two thinking modes. The blue network steps back and reflects. The red network engages and acts. The ...
