Spinoza on God




God is not the creator of the world
But the world is part of God, the substance.
The God and the world is the same thing,
Which contradicts the western religion.

There is only one substance, infinite,
Absolute and self-caused eternal.
The whole universe is made of this substance.
Any part of the universe is God.

The mind is the part of the infinite
Intellect  of God and any object
Of idea constituting the mind
Is body with the mind as extension.

Thought and existence are two main attributes.
Thought is how the substance gives to a thought.
Existence is how the substance extends.
The connection between idea and thing is same.

How can you be blamed if you do or say
Something out of that which God put in you?
How can you be punished for you being
As you are if God is the one who made you?

Miracles and God’s averments are wiles
To manipulate you, to control you,
To create guilt on you and have a hold,
In the name of God made for this purpose.

Stop praising God; stop offering Him things;
Stop asking favours; stop asking forgiveness,
Ten commandments aren’t made by God.
Scripture are manmade; sins are man coined.

Hell and heaven are born of imagination.
Sins and punishments are made as a threat
To the people to be bound by the religion.
Don’t waste time and money for religions.

(Based on the teaching of Baruch De Spinoza – a Dutch Philosopher of Portuguese Jewish origin, a rationalist and lives in 17th century.)

Name goes from the body

The first thing to go from you is your name. You will be called the body by your kin. Disposal will become the main concern. You will be removed from the house you built. The clothes and things you used are thrown away. The valuables are shared and taken away. You are replaced with no remorse attached. A fallen leaf, you are soon forgotten. What will happen to those you’d endeared? What is the fate to the things you’d nurtured? How will fare your descendants in struggles? You are destined not to know the future. You will not know about your biography. You will not recall the moments of pride. You will not know how you’re branded about. You don’t know that you have ever existed. I don’t think it’s applicable to me. 21.10.2019

Law is misused.

Laws are misused by one’s intelligence. The harm they do when misused must weigh more Than the good they do otherwise, in the mind Of law makers to spare the innocents. 19.11.2019

Keelady Civilization.

The Tamil Sangam Era was confined To literature and poetry available. Keelady is the archaeological evidences Of the civilization of that period. Sangam Era and Megalithic era Are related and must be viewed together. Brick layers, structured townships with  paved roads Must relate to the Harappa culture. The life style of  the folks spoken about In  the Sangam era  isn’t hypothetical, At the light of the excavation carried At Keelady in the Southern Tamilnadu. The Indus Valley Civilization Is not different from Keelady  findings It shows the evolution of the old script To graffitist and Tamil brahm The province where Keelady was open Must have got a civilization Where the people were literate, affluent And more advanced in around 300 BC 14.10.2019i.
