The Journey
Begins..
As a Human this Deep Realisation that most of our Actions, Our Thoughts, Our Behaviours are Automated Cue Based Responses over which We don’t seem to have much control, was a Life-Changing, in a way Disheartening, yet Most Potential Moment of my Life.
At first, this Realisation seemed to take Away all the Conscious Control I had always assumed I exercised. But accepting that felt almost like Defeating the very Life Force that I carried so passionately. Then I began on a Journey to Solve most Existential level Problems that we as Humans are Experiencing almost all the time.
What is the
Mission?
The Existential Problems begin from the most Fundamental Questions like Who are We? What is Life? What is Happiness? What is Love? What does it even mean by having a Purpose, Meaning? Why do we want to Live when we know we must Die one day? Why Do we need to Work? Why we behave the way we Do? Why we are the way we are? What is Physical? What is Mental? How our bodies behave? How our autonomic system behaves? What is Evolution? Why most of our Lives are automated? Where is the Control? What is Control?
And the list of such fundamental problems goes on and on. Yet we as Humanity somehow have chosen collectively to remain confused about these very Basics of Life. Does the question immediately pops in your minds too that How can over 8 Billion people collectively choose to remain oblivious and confused around the very basics of Life?
The Answer to this question lies in the Process of Domestication. The choice to remain oblivious of such daunting questions is not a Conscious Choice. Rather it is an effect of the unconsciously evolved process of Domestication or in other words Training, Taming, Conditioning, of the Human Minds generation after generation in a very organic and therefore unconscious manner.
The problem with the Unconscious or Passive Domestication is that it was only directed towards solving immediate survival needs and it could not evolve even in the modern world where survival is no more an immediate problem for a decent proportion of populace. (With Due Respect and Sincerity towards those who still are struggling).
The inevitable consequence of this inefficacy is that the deeply domesticated, conditioned mind and body in old ways, just had no answer to deal with the Abundance, the Technological Advances, the Information and Stimulation Overload that it is witnessing today. It is the domesticated mind that responds to abundance with obesity. It is the unconsciously regulated, dopamine driven mind that responds to Technology with Social Media Addiction, Doom Scrolling, Depression, Misinformation, Hate.
Therefore, in this light, My Mission is to UnDomesticate Humanity, to make us Laser Sharp in our Observation of ourselves, to enable us to Think Clearly so that we can all Self-Actualise and reach our full potentials. Because only that justifies Humans being called Sapiens!
