The purpose of your life is being fulfilled in every moment
August 7, 2008
by Devin Iyer One fundamental question in life is “What is life’s purpose?” This is a very important question to ask yourself, as the answer changes everything! It significantly changes the way you view things, changes your pursuits, and changes the way you live our life. Here we are, within this context of life and the universe, seemingly separate, ego-centric beings with the ability to desire things, and achieve things. There are a few basic ideas circulating in our collective... Read more »
Neo-Tech Views On Ayn Rand and Objectivism
April 4, 2008
Ayn Rand valued Aristotle’s philosophy and developed her own philosophy of reason called Objectivism. Aristotle’s philosophy adhered to the logic of A ‘is’ A, but Alfred Korzybski took ‘is’ away. Frank R Wallace replaced it all with Neo-Tech Objectivism. Frank R Wallace quoted Ayn Rand saying ’save me from the Radians’. Ayn Rand was her self repulsed by the cult-ish obsession coming from Objectivists at that time. Ayn Rand, the founder of Objectivism,... Read more »
Invest In Your Eternal Bank Account
April 3, 2008
Imagine a share advertisement declaring, “A 100% guarantee: you will lose every single penny invested here!” And if you found millions of people investing all their life’s savings in such a share, wouldn’t you lament their misfortune and imprudence? But isn’t this what almost all of us are doing? We are born with a death sentence written on our bodies. Despite all scientific advancement, the death rate was, is and will always be 100%; everyone who is born has to die... Read more »
Are We The Makers Of Our Destiny?
April 3, 2008
The concept of destiny has fascinated humans since time immemorial. Is our success predestined? Or is it in our hands? Most modern thought has deemed that our endeavor alone determines our success. But with competition intensifying, changes accelerating and many unpredictable and uncontrollable factors determining results in today’s complex world, many people are re-examining this belief. For example, a brilliant student, despite diligent studies, gets average marks, whereas a mediocre student,... Read more »
About The Epitome of Vanity
April 1, 2008
As soon as we are born the learning process begins. First we learn to eat, talk, walk etc from our parents. Then we learn from our neighbors about certain social norms and the wider world outside our immediate home. Our school teachers then put the icing on the cake, by giving us knowledge of different subjects. As we progress up the academic ladder, we acquire more and more knowledge in a particular field. Finally graduating from college and university with a degree, we think we achieved what others... Read more »
The Real Wealth Of Our Spirit Soul
March 28, 2008
Money, they say, is sweeter than honey! With money everything is at ones beck and call. Hence the inordinate desire of everyone in this material world to amass unlimited wealth, whether fair or foul. However, little consideration is given to the capacity of the body to enjoy so-called material pleasures. Man can only eat as much as his stomach can contain, even if he is the wealthiest man, and can afford the most delicious, sumptuous meal. Similarly man can occupy only as much space as his body...

February 29, 2008
There exists considerable evidence from the field of psychiatry to indicate a definite relationship between the sex gland and the brain. Spermatozoa may have an internal function that is necessary for the normal metabolism of the brain, and dementia praecox (schizophrenia) may be due to an alteration of deficiency of their production due to degeneration of the seminiferous (pertaining to the formation of semen) tubules of auto-intoxication (due to having been poisoned). This may result from masturbation... Read more »
Reading The Signs of The Times
November 8, 2007
Several decades ago, Mohandas K. Gandhi warned against what he called the seven social sins: politics without principle, wealth without work, commerce without morality, pleasure without conscience, education without character, science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice. Gandhi’s social sins point to the crucial relationship between our ethics and our public life. That relationship has proven in the 21st Century to be the main subject in scholarly debates and the primary focus... Read more »
