Random Rantings

Explain the process of 'love' or any other human feelings scientifically.What an absurd question,isn't it?No..it isn't. Even with our mastery of cutting edge technology things involving mind and it's mysterious ways of working remain largely a mystery to us...The placebo effect,superhuman survival capabilities of Naga sanyasis,the use of qi in martial arts and healing.....all remain unexplained by modern science and so largely labelled as fake.
Now if I had asked prehistoric men to explain simple scientific phenomenon like lightning or the sun or the moon he would be in a similar dilemma that we were in when faced with the first question.
Our ignorance of this topic that had reached a certain level of development in ancient civilisations of India and China and then banished to the attic with the materialistic conquest of European forces of Asia is akin to how the church held onto its ignorant beliefs that the earth is the center of the universe several centuries back.
It took just a few thousand years for us to advance our science beyond the wildest imaginations of our prehistoric ancestor.But today we turn out to be a curse to our planet.What went wrong?What happens if you give a kitchen knife to a crazy,mindless monkey.He may attack all those around him.But in the hands of a masterchef it is used to create tantalisingly appetizing food.....Coming to the point,we are akin to the monkey with the knife-we have the technology but we don't have the adequate inner development to wield it.
If the US govt can spent millions funding SETI, which has not even yielded any result in a long time(or did it ;) ) , I'm baffled why no one from the west even bothers to research this particularly interesting segment in depth. (I say West because they seem to be the absolute authority in science since Renaissance,regardless of any scientific knowledge accumulated over the ages in the 'East')
This group focusses on how humans can increase their spiritual and mental faculties beyond what we consider is the limit, from a scientific viewpoint.It's aim is to discover means to lift man from his prehistoric level of rudimentary spiritual development to higher levels of spiritual ability if possible.
