Imaginary Conversation Between Materialists Look Alike Of Shiva and Shakti

An imaginary conversation in the tone of Vijnana Bhairava conversation, but with a materialistic paradigm...


Ma baby says:

My lord, who holds all the libraries of the world in the head, I've been listening to endless radio debates about the universe, but I'm still plagued with doubts.

What is this confusing universe into which we find ourselves born?

What is this mysterious illusion called awareness that is shimmering bright, but less so than shopping mall lights?

Ma man says: 

Yeah baby. All this came from some hot dense stuff. Billions of years ago, there was some chemical soup on earth. Then information molecules evolved. Then all complex life forms evolved. Now it can ask questions and ponder about the mysteries of the world. Isn't that cool?

The shimmering bright lights of awareness are an illusion reinforced most likely by watching crappy shows on TV and it could even be signs of brain illness.


Ma baby says:


What are these energies that moves us into actions? What are these dancing particles of radiance?

What are these particles moving around here and there? Bosons, atoms and all?

What is life? How can I know the mystery of life and experience it more deeply?

What are these innumerable forms that hope to remain here on earth forever , but vanishes in to thin air inevitably?

My Love, Can I embrace you when you ravish me with the truths about the universe?



Ma man says:

These are great questions I wish I've time to answer. As you know, I'm working on my next research proposal, so I got no more than 30 minutes.  But as a practice for elevator speech, I will give a little intro and point you to references.

It is all energy transformation, sub-atomic particles forming ever more complex aggregates over a long period of time that can talk and ask questions.

To your question What is life? It is all transformation of energy and matter that creates more complex forms of matter. There are several great books like What is Life? by Schrodinger and so many other scientists, you just got to google all these references you know...

Experience of life begins when you graduate, find a job, get a car, condo and earn enough to travel around. Until then it is a half-dead experience living off your parents' pocket. Experiencing life deeply takes years of training our mind to understand graphs and mathematical symbols or some people just dive deep in to seas where they can experience aquatic life. Since we evolved from aquatic creatures, it is diving deep enough i guess.

The diverse forms you see are all evolved beings made of flesh, transforming in to other forms of flesh over time. All beings made of flesh pass on their genetic stuff to next generations and perish. Their bodies decay and that stuff is eaten by microbes that we can only see through microscopes. Yeah all these questions take several years of study to understand. But it all starts with questions. You are on the right track baby.

You look lovely today. But I'm sorry babe, I got to finish this today. And yeah, don't bother me for the rest of the year as I've got several competitive grants to write to beat that other guy in funding money....You know prestigious awards are hard to come by......
