Cancer, Ancient Atomic Mathematics and the Science-Art of Quantum Biology

As is commonly known, the pursuit of happiness ideal was fused into the basic design of the Constitution of the United States of America. Surprisingly, no one seems to know why and how that came about. Scholars knew it had something to do with a message from ancient Egypt's 'Eye of Horus', depicted at the top of a pyramid as part of the Great Seal of America. They also knew that this all-seeing eye message had been linked to the work of the Greek mathematician, Pythagoras, who had studied political ethics in ancient Egypt.

Some thought that the message might relate to a happiness of acquiring wealth through mechanical industrialisation. However, the discovery of quantum biology during the 21st Century demonstrated that a far greater potential wealth exists within new technologies able to harness the previously unknown natural properties of carbon, belonging to human life forms. The old acquisition of wealth, derived from a mechanical mindset, is now well recognised as being the cause of a future unsustainable carcinogenic existence on planet Earth. Within Science-Art research, humanity has an innate non-mechanical association with Einstein's protege, David Bohm's holographic universe.

The first Science-Art discovery of a holographic living force occurred late in the 20th Century, and came about by reuniting science with artistic feelings. This unification led to the discovery of new physics laws governing optimum seashell growth and development through space-time. These physics laws appear to belong to the ancient mathematics governing the political ethics embedded into the 'pursuit of happiness' concept. The world's largest technological institute, IEEE in Washington, reprinted this scientific breakthrough as one of the important optics discoveries of the 20th Century, placing it alongside such names as Louis Pasteur and Sir Francis Crick.

This historical event was fused into quantum biology research theory, by the recipients of the 2010 Gorgio Napolitano Medal, awarded on behalf of the Republic of Italy for their quantum biological physics and chemistry discoveries. The second discovery was that some artists throughout history had unconsciously depicted hidden stereoscopic, holographic images, in their paintings. While new technologies have developed infinite fractal logic techniques to manufacture such images, prevailing science remains completely oblivious to the fact that the human mind can create them. This is one example of the mathematician, Cantor's observation, that the mindset of modern science is inhabited by an unnatural fear of infinity, denying Newton's first principles of creative gravitational force by substituting the foolish falling apple myth in its place.

In order to provide a brief outline of this interesting, but very controversial story, a historical explanation appears to be warranted. Pythagoras' research was a precursor to the Platonic tradition of ancient Greek mathematical culture. That tradition fused further ethical concepts into Egyptian ethical atomic mathematics, in order to invent ethical science during the 3rd Century BC. The Egyptian mathematics was about the purpose of sacred geometry within invisible atoms, to make tiny seeds from which forms of life throughout the universe emerged. During the Egyptian Second Kingdom, their sacred geometrical logic, concerning justice, compassion and mercy, had been fused into political law, and later copied by other civilisations, to legalise the construction of hospitals and policies of caring for the aged.

The founding fathers of the flawed American Democratic system of politics attempted to establish a greater ethical, scientific, political system from ancient Greek science. However, the Christian Church, during the 4th Century AD, had declared the pagan mathematics to be the work of the Devil. Saint Augustine had incorrectly translated the property of unformed chaos within the atom, as being the evil of female sexuality. He associated the mathematics with the mechanistic worship of Ishtar, the Babylonian Goddess of prostitution and war. However, this was not the mathematics that the Great Library of Alexandria was developing at the time. Nonetheless its Science-Art scrolls were destroyed by rioting Christian fanatics.

The linking of the Egyptian pursuit of happiness concept to quantum biological cancer research, during the 21st Century, was clearly predicted by the mathematician, Georg Cantor. Born in 1845, Cantor developed his infinite mathematical theories from the ancient Greek ethical science, derived from earlier Egyptian atomic mathematics. His work is now basic to modern scientific science. However, Cantor's ability to intuit the future discovery of Mandelbrot's infinite fractal logic, embraced ideas that prevailing Christian oriented science, finds completely incomprehensible.

Cantor knew that Aristotle was a central figure in the Platonic tradition of philosophy and investigated the mathematical theory upholding his research into the pursuit of happiness concept. Aristotle had linked the pursuit of happiness to a future science, to guide ennobling government for the health of the universe. This idea was obviously about a future medical science, using sacred geometrical logical ideas, beyond the limitations of our prevailing science, which considers that the only universal energy in existence flows from hot to cold. Cantor saw that the living process extended to infinity, in contradiction to this universal heat death concept, which condemns all life to eventual extinction. This universal heat death sentence became scientifically irrevocable after Charles Darwin used it as the basis of his evolutionary theory. Later, Einstein declared that this entropic law governed all aspects of science, including political, economic and medical.

When the framers of the American Constitution tried to bring Aristotle's political vision into reality they defined the ethical idea of liberty incorrectly. Liberty embracing the pursuit of happiness within a medical science for universal health was assumed to obey Sir Isaac Newton's emotionless laws governing the workings of his mechanical universe. The Founding Fathers, unaware of Newton's more natural, profound theory of gravitation, erroneously based the concept of liberty only upon his mechanical description of the universe. Newton published his little known theory at the risk of being burnt alive by order of the Church. He insisted that gravitational force was a non-mechanical spiritual force evolving emotional consciousness within an infinite universe. As a result of publishing that opinion he was held by the Church to be criminally insane, and suffered a mental breakdown for which he was hospitalised.

Newton was most likely aware that his contemporary, the philosopher of science, Giordano Bruno, had been imprisoned by the Church in Rome, tortured, then burnt alive for teaching about the ethical Greek science at Oxford University. Newton's published heretical gravitational theory was featured in his 28th Query Discussions in the second edition of his famous journal, Opticks, as anyone can easily verify. Also, his unpublished Heresy Papers and copies of his private letters, written during the height of his genius, demonstrate that Newton was not insane when he published his spiritual theory of gravity. Newton most certainly did not believe that reality was governed by the functioning of a clockwork universe, as modern quantum mechanics science had incorrectly assumed.

The Romantic era, from about 1800 to 1850, consisted of an artistic, literary and philosophical movement, which erroneously condemned Newton for promoting lifeless theories of science. The movement was ignorant that his first physics principles actually associated gravity with the living process, derived from ancient Greek Platonic science. William Blake, the poet and artist, along with other principle figures of the Romantic era, held Newton in contempt. They had not realised that Immanuel Kant, 1724-1804, one of the most influential philosophers of science in the history of Western philosophy, had given electromagnetic properties to Newton's concept of emotional gravitational force. They were also unaware of the scientific insights of the poet, Alexander Pope, who had been greatly praised by Kant for his knowledge of ancient Greek philosophy.

Alexander Pope is considered one of the greatest English poets of the eighteenth century. His famous 'Essay on Man' consisted of four parts. The first Epistle, was about man's place in the universe; Epistle II, was concerned with the individual person; Epistle III related to man within human society governed by political structures; and Epistle IV with the political ideal of the pursuit of happiness.

Alexander Pope's concept of an ethical infinite universal purpose can be seen to be compatible to Newton's theory of gravitational force, evolving ethical emotional consciousness within an infinite universe. Einstein modified Newton's theory of light and later altered it to give more credence to Newton's original concept. Some scholars have considered that Alexander Pope's linking of Newton's theory of light to an infinite ethical purpose, from the perspective of Kantian pure logic, explains why Immanuel Kant considered Alexander Pope to be a great genius. Pope's ideas were well known to the leaders of the electromagnetic Golden Age of Danish Science.

In 2002, Harvard University and Massachusetts University held an international symposium to tell the world of the social importance of the message of the electromagnetic Danish Golden Age of Science. They noted that its crucial message had been written mostly in Danish and not translated, making it invisible to English speaking scholarship. However, Immanuel Kant, a leading personality of that Golden Age, had written that the English poet, Alexander Pope, had given the ancient Greek theories an artistic expression. The discoverer of the electromagnetic field, Hans Christian Oersted and his colleague, Friedrich Schelling, were also principle figures of the Golden Age. Their own Science-Art theories gave credence to Newton's first principles, necessary for the healthy and ethical evolution of humanity. Their theories have been associated with Alexander Pope's development of a similar concept.

Georg Cantor's mathematical logic condemned the idea that all life in the universe must be destroyed after its heat had radiated away into cold space. This universal heat death law simply contradicted his discovery of mathematical infinity, which he had linked to the evolution of life. His work, attacked by many of the world's leading mathematicians, led to his conclusion that the scientific mind was inhabited by a primitive, myopic fear of infinity. The solution to this emotionally traumatic, carcinogenic situation can be easily obtained in the light of advanced quantum biology cancer research. But it requires a more profound understanding about Aristotle's concept of a medical science needed to guide ennobling government.

A first step is to produce evidence that this illogical scientific fear of infinity does exist. Modern science knows very well that an infinite fractal logic exists, but it is unable to allow for fractals to be part of the living process as it is obsessed with its falsely assumed thermodynamic extinction. This is completely illogical because the functioning of the molecule of emotion has been identified, beyond doubt, as obeying infinite fractal logic.

A second step is to refer to Sir Isaac Newton's firm conviction that the universe is infinite. His first principles of gravitational force were not mechanical but belonged to the ancient Geek emotional atomistic science, as mentioned above. Whether or not this was a criminally insane reasoning, as claimed by the Church, is of no importance. Isaac Newton most certainly did not advocate a mechanical clockwork-like universe. Therefore, Einstein's stating that the mechanical heat death law was the premier law of all the sciences, in particular political, economic and medical economic sciences, were based upon false assumptions. Isaac Newton wrote that such a pretentious scientific first principle logic would contaminate scientific philosophy, just as the mathematician, Cantor, discovered when he researched the origins of the concept of the pursuit of happiness.

In advanced quantum biology cancer research Einstein's energies of mechanical quantum chaos are entangled with another universal energy, known as Shannon-Weiner information energy, which does not flow from hot to cold. The 1937 Nobel Laureate, Szent-Gyorgyi, noted that failure to visualise that consciousness evolved through such an energy entanglement depicted a primitive mindset associated with cancerous growth and development.

The book 'Phantoms in the Brain', written by V.S Ramachandran M.D., Ph.D., and Sandra Blakeslee, about how the brain works, was very highly acclaimed by Nobel Laureate, Francis Crick Ph.D.,. Within the book, mention is made of the mental affliction known as anosognosia, about which almost nothing is known. The question is raised as to why this affliction should exist when it seems detrimental to our survival. Anosognosis can be considered to present a model of denial that the mathematician, Georg Cantor, described as existing within the scientific mind, as a blind fear of infinity.

The human survival message contained in 'Phantoms in the Brain' is so advanced that it can be considered to readily apply to solving the current extinction obsession inhabiting the modern scientific mind. The funding to carry out this objective will come from a new understanding of first cause cancer research principles and this will be made possible by reuniting the culture of art with the culture of science. That project has been publicly classified by leading quantum biologists in Europe as being the rebirth of the lost original Greek science - the 21st Century Renaissance.

Quantum biology cancer research not only addresses this human survival problem but can be seen to be the foundation upon which an omni human survival technology can be constructed. This technology was clearly alluded to by the champion of American liberty, Ralph Waldo Emerson, during Georg Cantor's lifetime. Emerson echoed Cantor's concern that an association of infinite mathematical logic with human evolution was not tolerated within the American scientific mind. His logic argued that infinite Sanskrit mathematics, leading to a truly democratic technological culture, had been forbidden, because industrial mechanical greed had enslaved the minds of the American people to deny its very existence. He blamed this phenomenon upon America having inherited a false mechanical, mathematical worldview from ancient Babylonian culture.

The 1957 the New York University of Science Library published a book entitled 'Babylonian Myth and Modern Science' which stated that Einstein had developed his theory of relativity from the intuitive mythological mathematics of ancient Babylon. Unintentionally, Einstein's great genius was only about the mechanical functioning of the universe, which can now be successfully modified through its entanglement with the information energies of quantum biology. Reference to ancient Mesopotamian cultures leads to a storybook tale of how and why the mental disease of anosognosis led to modern science worshipping the concept of human extinction. The worship of Einstein's heat death law, sentencing humanity to extinction, was the one that the mathematician, Lord Bertrand Russell, advocated in his most famous essay, 'A Freeman's Worship'. Both Russell and Einstein were awarded Nobel Prizes for their mechanistic, entropic worldview theories.

The Pyramid Texts discovered by Gaston Maspero in 1881 were about the advanced sacred geometrical purpose within invisible atoms, depicted by the Egyptian god Atum. The god declared, from the dark abyss of initial chaos 'Let there be light', centuries before the Hebrew and Christian religions came into being. Atum decreed that all created life would eventually return back into the original state of chaos, which modern science now accepts as being inevitable.

During the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten the various Egyptian gods were dismissed and the worship of one god, the sun god, Ra, was established. That period was short-lived and Akhenaten's city, built to honour Ra, quickly fell into ruin. During the reign of Ramses the Great, the Egyptian religion governing political law followed the teachings of the Goddess, Maat, in which humans could become immortal within an infinite universe. The geometrical logic of the infinite Egyptian mathematics was further developed by Greek scholars, such as Thales during the 6th Century BC and Pythagoras in the 5th Century BC. The Platonic tradition of Greek philosophy used the ethical atomic mathematics to invent ethical science in the 3rd Century BC. The Greeks defined gravity as an emotional whirling force acting upon primitive particles in space, to make the worlds spin and generate harmonic knowledge to guide the evolution of ethical, emotional thought.

In 2008, The Times Literary Supplement included 'The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution' by C P Snow in its list of the 100 books that most influenced Western public discourse since the Second World War. It is crucial that we now heed the warning by the molecular biologist, Sir C P Snow, during his 1959 Reid Lecture at Cambridge University, that unless science and art are again reunited, despite modern science's primitive belief in the universal heat death extinction law, then civilisation will be destroyed.

Social Skills Improve Academic Success

Having taught school for many years I have witnessed changes in education and in children. When I began teaching French to junior high students in 1974 I had jam-packed classrooms with never less than 36 students, but I had few discipline problems and it was rare that a student did not achieve academically. I had support from home, kids who were excited to learn, and co-workers and administrators with high expectations. My French class was a part of a 9-week rotation for seventh graders who took Spanish, German, and chorus when they weren't with me. As eighth graders they could then select to take any one of the four courses of the rotation or pick a different, full-year elective.

When I finished my paid career in the classroom, I still had large classes with up to 45 students at one point (or more than 60 when I taught physical education), and most of my students were eager to learn (English at this time). I had great co-workers and administrators but in cases where students struggled and/or failed I almost always lacked support from home. The desire for their children to succeed through hard work, effort, and determination had vanished into "Just give him/her an A". This was not always the case but it was frequent enough that I trembled at the thought of these students moving on, out of high school and into the world of higher education or the work force.

After retirement I had time to visit classrooms of all ages and I noticed that socialization, getting along with others, being a part of school and learning, and the resulting academic achievement started the day students entered a classroom. I acknowledge that their development of social skills began long before this, in the womb and the early years at home, I, however, was only able to study kids once they entered public education. Children who come to school eager and ready to learn also, in general, know how to get along with others. Although extensive sharing may not have been a part of their early upbringing, they snag the idea and realize that sharing begats sharing, and sharing, in turn, begats friendship. Friendships build feelings of comfort and safety and comfort and safety construct confidence and the desire to interact and work as a team. Even extremely shy children, when placed in safe friendship situations flourish. They may not chatter as much but they get along, play, and connect with other students forming special bonds.

As students progress through kindergarten socialization opportunities increase and so do students' abilities to interact in them. There is time for work alone and independently just as there is time to work with partners, small groups, and whole class. This socialization is the foundation for citizenship and the skills necessary to cooperate with others, whether they are classmates, the teachers, or parent volunteers. This varied network of situations and encounters permits kids to thrive in diverse conditions and circumstances while honing social talents. Yes, some students arrive at school frightened, sad, and longing for home but given time and support they, too, can become engaged in learning and forming friendships.

Socialization is a key component throughout school that is linked to academic success and long-term happiness. It is rare to read of a child who is in trouble with the law who also knows how to make friends and to be a friend. Yes, there are criminal buddies of like criminal minds, but most children and adolescents just want a sense of belonging to something of value and importance. They may not be crazy about the study aspect of school, but I never had a student who dreamed of being a failure or a prisoner. Every child wants to succeed. While a limited few did end up on a path that led them in a negative direction, the vast majority just wanted a good life. And those who could get along, follow the rules (or adjust them as needed to fit the situation without harming others), ask questions, and exchange thoughts and ideas soared. Their ability to socialize play an important role.

The Third Vatican Is Desperately Needed

The First Vatican Council began on June 29, 1868. This Catholic system existed until October 1958. Its primary purpose was to deal with contemporary problems such as rationalism, liberalism, and materialism at the time. Next, the Second Vatican Council was started in January 1959 and primarily deals with equipping the church to more effectively re-evangelize the world through a language that the world can understand. Both councils have never fully addressed three prominent dilemmas of the church that remain to continue to this day such as the accessibility to the Eucharist, homosexual preferences, and a women's right to choose. Therefore, this document addresses these three problem areas of the church and also provides reasons requiring a Third Vatican Council. My reasons for such a radical change thus follows below.

To begin, the current state of the Eucharist is such that only Catholics can partake in its glory. This is extremely wrong. The main reason being that this is a violation of Christ's sacrament based upon Padre Pio's description of Satan trying to dissuade Jesus' sacrifice while he dealt with his agony in the garden (The Holy Rosary And Padre Pio, National Center for Padre, Pennsylvania, February 11, 1985). Thus not allowing all people to have full access to the Eucharist violates Christ's most probably wanting to have perfection over it. This added greatly to his dismay. In addition, Christ's institution of the Eucharist was himself significantly wanting all people to adore him by remembering both his body and blood not what miserably fails under both Vatican I and Vatican II. Consequently, it is for these reasons that both Vatican I and Vatican II fail to provide a correct offering of the Eucharist.

Next, homosexual preferences are also not considered correct under the conditions of both Vatican I and II. Individuals that are gay do not have access to the Roman Catholic Church. This is an improper stand because in my opinion I believe that these individuals, that desire a different type of sexual preference, should not be treated as outcasts of the church. Similarly, to the newly wanted change in the churches position over the Eucharist, the church should also maintain better symphony for these people because they cannot help their differences in a sexual preference and so they should not be held responsible or discriminated against. It is for this reason that the church must now institute a Vatican III proclamation.

Finally, a third Vatican must be implemented to care for women's rights. Although Vatican II condones women that are raped, the church now must change its position in regards to other aspects of women's rights such as birth control as well as its wrong stance on contraception. Birth control is definitely required in many third world countries because the issue of Planned Parenthood is needed to maintain a healthy balance overcoming overpopulation as an example. Thus, a Vatican III, if implemented, could more than properly address this situation. It is for this reason that I believe that a Vatican III is desperately needed.

To conclude, the newly elected Pope Francis needs to now carefully look at past failures of Vatican I and II due to its stringent policy and subsequently institute new reforms. These reforms are offering the Eucharist to all people and changing its position on how gays are treated and how women are treated. I will pray that the current Pope moves in this direction and I hope that you will join me in my prayer. What a wonderful improvement would be achieved if this new Vatican happened. Finally, what an incredible opportunity exists for the Roman Catholic Church.

Why IES Coaching Is Important to Crack IES Exams

Indian Engineering Services are considered as one of the most reputed services in our country. Whereas it is a direct arm of the Government of India, it takes the most skilled and confident candidates to break through this rock solid exam.

But, what does it take to crack such an exam? Is it the passion for the success or the talent and the knowledge, which is been earned in the four years program of Engineering? Well, to crack an IES Examination, actually it is not just one single talent, which can win you the situation, but it is a combination of many more elements, which can help any candidate to unlock his/her true potential to crack such task. But what are those elements and where they can be earned and learned? Well, for that every candidate requires the help of a great IES coaching institution, who over the course, has developed many raw students into an Indian Engineering Services Officer. But why this IES Coaching is so important to crack IES Exams.

Well, coaching plays an important role in any field of life. It is an external factor which nurtures and can supplement the individual growth of any person e.g. like diamonds naturally come raw except their luminance. Rest they need the skilled hands for its polishing and cutting. Upon the successful procedure run on it, then only they are available in the market for sale. So as like diamonds, even a brightest student/candidate needs polishing, nurturing and individual development which can help him/her to crack such Exam. Well, as we are aware of the gravity of the IES Exams, it is considered as one of the most toughest and high stress exams, where sometimes a very talented candidate can come across the failure. The reason could be anything like performance anxiety, recklessness or any other factor which can bring the candidate under the stress and thus the situation can turn into a disaster.

A good coaching Institute is aware of all such situations which can affect the performance of any candidate and thus over the course they have mastered the situations as such and developed the skills to troubleshoot them. And once you have joined a coaching institute as such, they can help you in developing those mastered tools and can help you in discovering the talent and strength within you, which could prove to be the boon in any situation of an IES Exam. IES Coaching is not only important just to crack the IES exam but also, they can make you prepare for the life after it. Most importantly, IES Coaching is like a helping hand for the aspiring candidates, who have the blurred picture of the Indian Engineering Services, where they lack upon the career choice opportunities with Indian Engineering Services, and thus, the IES Coaching enables a candidate/student to understand the prospects of the Indian Engineering Services and IES Exams, which sometimes can play a very inspirational role for some candidates.

Do We Live In A Far Smarter Universe?

There is a constant debate over whether or not aliens exist. The common argument against their being a higher intelligence is why have they not contacted us? After all, if they are so smart than I'm sure they can figure out a way to reach Earth, right? Well I leave you with this to think about.

When Christopher Columbus came to the new world, he was not interested in the ant pile he might have stepped over when he first arrived. He was interested in intelligent life, such as the Native Americans, something equal to him. They were his most fascinating discovery, everything else was irrelevant. So what if there is a much more intelligent civilization out there but they are only communicating with other intelligent life forms? They walk past us every day uncaring for our inferior civilization, and we don't even realize it.

It is like if humans were building a 100-story skyscraper, and sitting right next door was an ant pile. The ants have no clue that something far smarter than it are building something far more impressive than anything they can comprehend. They just aren't up to that level of intelligence.

Then you say, "Well we haven't heard any signals from space, wouldn't we have picked up some sort of communication between them?" That is kind of like if you walked into an office building with a walkie-talkie. You would turn on the walkie-talkie, check every channel, hear nothing, and assume no one is there. Of course you wouldn't pick up a signal, that's because everyone is using more advanced technology like cell phones and email. It's the same thing with a more advanced civilization. They could have some form of communication far more advanced than we are capable of picking up a signal.

Maybe there are aliens whizzing past us every day and we don't even realize it. Just like humans pass ant hills every day and the ants have no idea. They are simply not smart enough to know that a more complex being is passing it. After all, if aliens are smart enough to have successfully created intergalactic travel, than they are probably worlds more intelligent than humans, just as humans are worlds more intelligent than ants. They could be using some complex technology that we can't even comprehend. It would be like teaching an ant about the internet, the any will just never understand.

There is no scientific proof to this, just something to think about. We are as clueless about alien's existence as the ancient Greeks were about the Earth being flat and at the center of the Universe. Hopefully one day we will be able to sort it all out and learn more about the universe around us.

5 Ways to Develop a Child's Logic and Reasoning Skills

Many parents believe that there is no reason to teach their children the ways to think logically and critically. This is because they think these skills develop on their own as the child is exposed to the world. However, researches on child psychology and critical thinking emphasize on taking a different approach. Studies point that children turn out to be more logical adults if critical thinking is fostered into them from the right age. Some studies even show that children become better problem solvers if they are taught to do so from a tender age.

In case you are looking for some of the most effective ways to develop a child's logic and reasoning skills, here are five ways to do it:

Try to stimulate a child's curiosity and thinking skill: Expose children to comparative environments. For example, ask them to compare rods of different sizes and colors. Try to point out at cause-and-effect relationships. While they are doing an activity, you should ask open-ended questions so that their estimation and predictive skills develop.
Encourage relevant thinking among children: It is important to encourage the children to be relevant. You should try to involve them in discussions and topics that are pertinent. This way, they learn the right mode of answering topics that are relevant.
Encourage children to ask questions: Initially, a child might feel a little awkward to ask questions and seek explanations. So, let them know that it is absolutely fine to seek explanations and ask questions when they are confused or a concept/thing isn't clear. This way, they will be encouraged to think logically.
Encourage logic among children: It is the duty of parents and teachers to encourage the logical bent of mind of the children. Assist them to find out how things fit together and also question them about their conclusions. It's equally important to show them whether their findings and assumptions are correct or not.
Encourage empathy in the thought process of children: When children come at conclusions, teach them to consider the point of view others as well, without any resentment. This way, you will encourage a feeling of empathy among children. At the same time, it will also encourage a child to be fair in his/her decisions.
By fostering critical thinking in children and teaching them the principles of reasoning and logic, you can make them smarter and empower them to face the world with confidence.

One Note Pitch Piper Man

One Note Pitch Piper Man? Well that's my live experience beyond imagination. Nevertheless I would like to share it with all the readers interested to know more about it. I was travelling to Yamuna Nagar in Haryana with some of the team members of SPIC MACAY (Society For The Promotion Of Indian Classical Music And Culture Amongst The Youth) in a car. Dr. Kiran Seth was sitting in the front left hand side next to the driver's seat. I was sitting with Mrs. Suman Doonga. Abhishek and Divya were happy to be the seated at the back of the car (it was INNOVA). I was able to see Dr. Seth through the rear mirror of the car. It was wonderful to observe Dr. Kiran Seth fully absorbed in the yogic and meditation. He was a man with action and performed whatever he taught to others. He was spreading the message to the youth across the globe to promote the SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS, CULTURE, MUSIC, ARTS AND DANCE. According to him, this is the movement of the youth studying in various schools and colleges. The young students undergo the Orientation programme and understand the simple message of SPIC MACAY.

Various artists, musicians, dancers, film directors and any person involved in culture and tradition are invited and showcase their talents to the students. These events are organized in the form of VIRASATS-annual circuits of programmes across the country. There are workshop demonstrations wherein the performing artists visit the schools and colleges. With the help of their performances, they introduce the importance of the music and dance. There are GURUKUL SCHOLARSHIPS provided to the students wherein they are able to spend and stay with the great spiritual leaders and artists for a month. This provides them to interact with the great maestros directly and observe their life styles. The students get an awesome exposure to know the inner journey and progress received in the external world. There are workshops on Calligraphy and Handicrafts and these are simply fantastic for the students and they learn directly from the different artisans. There is a special screening of classical films and movies directed by the great individuals like Akira Kurosawa, Satyajit Ray, Adoor Gopoal Krishnan, Ritwik Ghatak, Shyam Benegal, etc. for the students.

I was lost in my own thoughts. Mrs. Suman Doonga pointed towards something and this was my intermission for the next part of my experience for the rest of the day. Dr. Seth placed a spherical thing between his lips and took it out after few seconds. I thought that it was his breather machine (used by the asthma patients). However, I observed that he was behaving in the same manner and it was an oscillating action-place the spherical thing between the lips and take it out after fraction of seconds. Was he hungry? Was it part of the yogic exercises?

Meanwhile Mrs. Suman Doonga narrated her experience at the Pre-Play School started by Dr. Seth. It was called ARAMBHA PLAY SCHOOL. Nothing could be better than teaching small children and being in their company constantly-learning and teaching takes place simultaneously. She told me that he takes classes twice a week and spends his time with these kids. She also added with amusement that he teaches them only ONE NOTE OF THE INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC. This is "SA" (it is same as the note "DO" in the Western Music). Wow! I thought. I remembered my own lesson from PLATO'S REPUBLIC. This is a true vision of the great philosopher PLATO.

What's this-Dr. Seth busy with his ritual and did not stop it. I checked out my cell phone to keep the track of the exact time and discovered that two hours are spent in the car. Still he was not disturbed and took a short nap. Mrs. Suman Doonga observed the same and started smiling at me. I was really curious to know why Dr. Seth was doing this continuously after a gap of few minutes. Is he suffering from some kind of illness? Was he addicted to something? Was he feeling hungry and munching the biscuits? Why was he behaving in a peculiar manner? Was it due to his age? I kept questioning to myself. I really wanted to know more about this behavior of Dr. Seth. I was taking my own time to question him. Thus, I was creating my own set of conjectures and questions -typical characteristic feature of a student of philosophy.

Ultimately I took the courage and asked him few questions. I bent down towards the front seat and saw that it was not a spherical BISCUIT. It was black in color and circular in shape. There were certain designs present on the both sides of the spherical disc and was placed firmly between the fingers of Dr. Seth. I asked him," What is this Sir? Is it something useful for the yogic exercises?". He took a deep breath and kept quiet for few seconds. He uttered," It is a PITCH PIPE". Further on he added on by placing it between his lips and I was able to hear a sound through it. He said, "This is SA Note. I am trying to focus on it". I was simply zapped and simply looked at him with astonishment. I did not know what to question him and kept pondering on it. I was thinking -"SA NOTE". He very humbly said,"I am trying to FOCUS ON this JUST ONE NOTE called SA".

He continued with his side of the story. He is the disciple of Wasifuddin Dagar-the famous maestro in the Indian Classical Music. He was Dr. Seth to focus exactly on this ONE NOTE by practicing it at least for eight hours in a day. This practice would enable him to experience the "SA" NOTE and perceive it directly. Dr. Seth was practicing it for last 12 years and waiting to get the direct perception of it. This was indeed mystical to me. This refreshed my own memories of the METAPHYSICAL REALM of the CLAP OF THE SINGLE HAND in Zen Buddhism, perception of the ULTIMATE CONSCIOUSNESS, power behind the physical world, etc.

I was trying to decipher the hidden meaning behind those sentences narrated by Dr. Kiran Seth. The summary is the following:

Try to focus only on one thing at a time.
The regular practice would make the individual perfect in their endeavors of their daily life.
Abhishek added on, "It is better to focus on the bird present in our hands rather than two in the bush". To my astonishment, I replied back," The bird in the hand might be killed or given the freedom to fly off. The birds in the bush might fly off due to the disturbance created from our end. However, the true and regular practice would be our own inner journey which cannot be stolen or given away to someone else. This is the real metaphorical bird for us. There is no need to fear that someone might rob us. It is our own consciousness and experience. No one can interfere in it. It stays with us till the death time. . We are able to share our experience with others". Bingo-we were already experiencing the journey in our discussions too.
Too many things in our hands would not lead us anywhere in our lives.
There are 7 notes in our musical system. It is the regular practicing of exactly one note that one would be able to gain something rather than become a JACK OF ALL TRADES.
This is the important spiritual lesson learnt from my mentor Dr. Kiran Seth. This is the true understanding that I learnt from him in the car without any kind of classroom, book, boards, etc. I did not pay him any fees also. That's the true lesson I learnt from THE ONE NOTE PITCH PIPER MAN.
