Noob’s

Om bhūr bhuvah svah

We all have been noob’s. Do you remember?
How we, the … elders, seen the noob’s of today? How do they see us?
Do you think this is important?

Once Plato (the real one) wrote about three guys going to visit a temple (of Zeus, if I recall it right) and the talks they have on the road.
One of those talks was about education in the perfect city (or republic) and the argument that stroke me was: “How we educate them now, so they will repay us when we became old.”

Sure, if you are young you could say those are some old people babbling but then, if you take a minute to redraw from the action of your impetuous life, you will see we all became old one day.
And then …, yes, then it occur. When we are old and powerless, sick and depraved, when we most need the help of the Youngers.

Take me, for example. If I would not meet some youngsters with a full hart and a nice spirit (at this return) I would be vanquished for long ago already but, fortunately, they are here and gave some of them energy, power and will to go further (to stay, in fact).

In real life we tend to ignore this real education, because they (or is it THEY) tell us every day what to do, what to buy, what to think, so we end ceasing.
We are no more the master but the slave of our mind, mind which is so well conditioned by all those messages and … teachings.

There we forget we have those bodies like an astronaut have a suit, to could live in this environment and to shelter our soul.
Here we do not even have a body, so the mind control is deeper because she, the mind, take here even the functions of the body.

In real life education is needed to could have a minimum control on ourselves and our mind (if doubt about that, watch Detachment ).
Here we, the elders, want to teach the noob’s about how they could became even more addicted to this game, to this second reality.

And so, in the end, we are helping the world to fall apart.

This was about the reality behind our deeds, now let’s talk about the … tools.

Are we more educated, behave better or gain an upper moral standard if we use a golden pen to write?

I believe we do not.
In fact, I believe all great works of the humankind where written with much more modest tools, like a stick drawing on a leaf, or a piece of coal or …

Patanjali works where written on leaf’s (probably), Plato’s on some goat or sheep skin, Archimedes drawings where made with a stick in the sand. Yet all those endures the ages.
Not to forget that Wittgenstein wrote he’s great work on the trenches of the first World War (with a pencil on some miserable papers).
What about our today messages on the chat?

So, it is important to put a message on some support, so it could be spread amongst the people, but what we do when they are so many messages that we could not chose the right one for us ?

Seems we forget who we really are then, we forget that all the experience (and education) we get here, is not for our Ego (the mighty I, who is the center of the Universe), but for our real Self.
The one who use all the tools (body and mind included) and all the facts to know more, to evolve.

And this lead us to the process itself.
How do all this happening?

Well, all begin with the education, then we evolve and listen radio or watch TV and, finally, we get access to computers. Nowadays we even could mixing our perceptions and feelings with devices.
Because, you see, if our mind is busy all the time, we got no time left for what really matter.

Take, for example, an IIT student (Eklawya could surely remember).
Tones of information’s to be assimilated, and no time to reflect upon what really matter, so everyone look for an escape (a Landscape, how Dali would say).

A trip with the friends, movies (to further enslave us to our feelings) or games (yes, like this one).
And so, we became the perfect citizen Kane and our true nature, facts, etc., don’t even matter. There are some already prepared for us.
It is, more or less, like talking (or falling) with a multies in this game (or FB, or whatever).

Nobody (I’m referring to those who should officially do that) is helping in this direction. Many of them are even unaware of the real meaning of all this trip too so they could be o little (or none) assistance.
Also, from the times of Tagore, people don’t go anymore in reclusion, in the forest and they struggle all the life in them homes, offices between family, job and other sports which bring them no real benefits.

See, all those where subjects on the education that, once, Bihar gave to the world. Now even Bihar forget it and just some scholars (Pandits) quote it (but not sure all of them understand what is all about).
That for the regret of “Et in Agora ego … “, the golden ages, that will never came back.

And now, a message for Iconoclasta.
The one who (not understand) know the answers to all this and feel no more the necessity to act, nor for doing good or bad things (because for him is no good or bad, but just bliss and Ignorance), that one is a Paratpar Guru


All this is nothing but a chat from the door of eAshram and will not really help you, unless you began to act ... or cease acting.
