Thinking

Thinking, as well as the mind, have become so uninteresting and unfamiliar for a very long time. Even though thinking is the foundation of our lives and every intention and action is tied to it, it is neither studied nor given any real attention. Thinking comes in two types – independent and substitutionary, also referred to as consciousness and the subconscious. We call consciousness the independent thinking in everything in which we ourselves participate and take responsibility for. We call the subconscious all those invisible mental operations that proceed without our intervention and substitute for us, such as habits and ready-made answers. In fact, it is more correct to call them awareness and unawareness. The foundation of thinking is comparison. Comparison is a skill exercised by contrasting similarities, differences, ratios, component parts, and sequence. The primary method of comparison is when we identify the exact opposite of the goal of our thinking and set them side by side. Imagination is the skill of foreseeing what lies ahead, and is exercised by constructing intentions for our forthcoming actions. Remembering is a skill exercised by preserving and…

Communication and Sharing

One of the fundamental capacities of humans—and indeed of every living creature—is communication and sharing. While every other creature uses communication and sharing correctly, human communication is currently in its gravest crisis since the dawn of humanity. The movement is toward division into the smallest possible communities and isolated individuals, driving them into mutual opposition. Communication itself has degraded and warped into a strange form of compatibility that holds no meaning whatsoever for those involved. Yet, the true purpose of communication is the harnessing of collective forces, abilities, and skills to overcome obstacles and hurdles facing one or all. It is empathy, respect, compassion, and genuine care for others. Sharing finds itself in the exact same state as communication. It has degraded into concealment, lying, or empty chatter. Although sharing is often considered part of communication, it can also be practiced outside of it. Sharing is not bound to close ones or acquaintances; a person can share with any random stranger. What is shared is personal experience and knowledge from which others may benefit. Therefore, modern man does not suffer from a lack of information,…

For Basic Sanskrit – Part 3

I was looking for a shorter explanation of the word yoga, and I took the meanings from the dictionary of Professor Vaman Shivram Apte from 1890, I have translated the English meanings through Google translator into Bulgarian. If anyone wants to dig deeper, I’ve put it all below as taken from the dictionary – with the English meanings. If you translate each English word separately, you will be able to come up with several more meanings. Digging through these dictionaries is definitely a lot of fun, but it’s also time-consuming. Dictionaries and Sanskrit are not my goal, but one of my aids to my main goal of restoring an old text. I search for the meanings of certain words in this jungle of countless meanings. Everything written by each dictionary is scrutinized, and everything read is thought over and over. For most words, I have repeated this over a period of time. I look for the underlying meanings of words, and very often they are missing. In some cases the existing meanings are related and suggestive of the underlying meaning, but in other cases there…

For Basic Sanskrit – Part 2

I have been using all known Sanskrit-English dictionaries for quite some time now. All the best he has now. I will take the trouble to list most of them, so that there are no misunderstandings, and that no one thinks that I am talking about non-existent things. Some of the dictionaries are:Sanskrit-English Dictionaries:

За основния санскрит – част 1

Занимавам се с древния език, наречен санскрит от 24 години, като от една година много интензивно. Всъщност правилното име е Саанусвааракрита, и е използван от група хора наречени арийци, които са се преселили в северна Индия и Иран преди няколко хиляди години. Откъде да дошли преди това, никой не знае. Писмеността им е Брахми, която преди около 2300 години започва да се заменя от Деванагари. Лично аз се съмнявам арийците сами да са си подменили писмеността. Брахми и Деванагари са писмености, азбуки, а не езици. Този език не е индоевропейски, нито индоарийски, нито индийски, както се опитват да го изкарат историците. Възникналите и обособили се в последствие езици на местно ниво и от местното население, наричани всичките с името санскрит могат да се нарекат индийски. Всеки един от тези езици съдържа по нещо от оригиналния санскрит, наричан още ведически санскрит. Но само това е общото между тях. Граматиката и правилата на производните на санскрит езици се написани от граматика Панини преди 2400 години. Тази граматика представлява сложна система от 4000 правила. Едното от правилата е разгадано едва тази година от един индийски учен. В момента…

For Basic Sanskrit – Part 1

I have been studying the ancient language called Sanskrit for 24 years, like one year very intensively. In fact, the correct name is Saanusvaarakrta, and it was used by a group of people called Aryans who moved into northern India and Iran several thousand years ago. Where they came from before that, no one knows. Their script is Brahmi, which about 2300 years ago began to be replaced by Devanagari. Personally, I doubt that the Aryans themselves changed their writing. Brahmi and Devanagari are scripts, alphabets, not languages. This language is not Indo-European, nor Indo-Aryan, nor Indian, as historians try to make it out to be. The languages that arose and subsequently became distinct at the local level and by the local population, all called by the name of Sanskrit can be called Indian. Each of these languages contains something of the original Sanskrit, also called Vedic Sanskrit. But that’s all they have in common. The grammar and rules of derived Sanskrit languages were written by the grammarian Panini 2400 years ago. This grammar is a complex system of 4000 rules. One of the rules…

Happiness

Reflecting on what happiness depends on, I established that it depends on our ability to play. We must not confuse play with competition and rivalry, nor happiness with joy. In play, there is no desire to win, and there are no winners or losers. Although the opposite is claimed, it seems to me that a person’s life repeats the history of humanity – that in the beginning, man was happy, and through his development, he has sunk deep into unhappiness, not the other way around. Isn’t childhood the beginning? No one teaches children how to play. They simply know how to play and they do it. The task of so-called adults is to teach children how to stop playing. To teach them that life is a competition and that they must win at all costs. To teach them that playing is foolish, and as proof, they present their own successfully ruined personal lives. More often we hear „Don’t play!“ than „Play!“ Laughter and play irritate the world because they ruin the pursuit of unhappiness. But that’s the situation now… Children trust adults and follow what…

Trust is the path to love

There is a lot of speculation about the word trust and deliberate. In almost all cases, trust is confused with faith. To have faith is one thing, to have trust is another. Faith is directed outward, built outside of us, and based on others’ experiences and achievements. Trust is directed inward, built within us and personal experience and achievements are based. When we are not moving anywhere and do not want to know anything about ourselves, the meaning of words is not important. We can think and talk indiscriminately whatever comes our way. However, when we want to have clarity about ourselves and the world, every word matters. We need to be careful about what we think and say. In this regard, we need to be careful about what phrases we use. The combination of „trust in someone“ is incorrect and pointless. Let’s use one principle when we have something that we assume is unknown. We have the phrase „We trust in someone“ where the alleged unknown is „trust“. We replace „trust“ with „gold“ and get „We have gold in someone“. The first question is…

The results of awareness

Every activity or occupation leads to results. Whether those results satisfy us or not is a separate matter. However, when it comes to awareness, the expected results are absolutely clear. Since our mind contains rules and definitions about what to see, how to understand what is seen, and what to do in certain situations, there is nothing else for us to become aware of except the content of our own mind. Awareness itself is the emptying of the mind of its redundant conscious content. It is precisely this redundant content that stands as a wall before our light, which is why we remain in darkness. This redundant content prevents us from seeing the truth. When we become aware of our mind, we achieve more emptiness and space. It is commonly understood that emptiness is a bad thing and that every empty space must be filled. Yet everything is created from emptiness. We can believe whatever we want, but our mind is our home. It represents a space that contains our things, where we move among them and handle them. I will describe the mind in…
