Q 35: Is it not the cause and effect theory, which is binding the world? Can man be free from this binding psychologically?
This theory in Physics, while attempting to explain the creation of the universe, broadly states that every cause has an effect and vice versa. Undoubtedly it may be applied in the aspect of human behaviour also as every harmful act or behaviour of human beings triggers similar responses or behaviour from others like in a chain reaction. However, the responses may not be fully matching in terms of quality, quantity or intensity, in the presently fragmented state of intelligence. However, this chain can be broken, by protecting and ensuring the Natural State of intelligence in children rather than training and preparing them to behave in a standard or predetermined manner in each situation in future.
Q 36: How can one describe the present scenario in the world?
Today, most of the people are always engaged in securing physical needs or psychological pleasure or both. For these, they are spending all their energy in various amounts in various directions. Even political, religious and other intellectual leaders are guiding their followers to peace, prosperity and happiness in vain. Since human intelligence is designed to and is capable of breaking all manmade boundaries, aggressive people from different countries often join together and succeed in exploitation of the weak or people of developing countries, although involuntarily. This exploitation is inevitable in the present Emotion Dominant State of human intelligence and the only solution to this, is in raising the coming generation in the Intelligence Dominant State. Presently, only the intelligence dominant people of all countries of the world can understand this point and also can help save the world with the help of this scientific strategy.
Q 37: Top or bottom, human behavior can be corrected from which side, to enable all to live in harmony?
With the presently available research findings, adult human behaviour can’t be corrected beginning either from rich downwards to the poor or from educated downwards to the uneducated or even from powerful downwards to the weak. Since, an error in upbringing is responsible for harmful behaviour, mere avoidance of this error in the coming generations for a few years after birth, can alone ensure harmonious and exploitation-free lives for all people, irrespective of the quality of education. Though grooming may facilitate some to be rich, educated or powerful or otherwise, it is the level of operating intelligence along with the knowledge that generally determines the quality of their lives.
Q 38: What is the difference in intelligence between men and women?
Since intelligence is a qualitative
phenomenon of nature, in its natural or unfragmented state, there can't be any difference in
intelligence in men and women. In the un-fragmented or the Natural State of
Intelligence, there is harmonious relationship between men and women,
without subjugation or violence. The only difference between men and women is physiological, which
exists only for facilitating progeny. Present problems of disharmony and
exploitation between men and women or even amongst the same sex is due to
fragmentation of intelligence only.
Q 39: How actually religions are binding mankind? What is the way out?
Religions are only a set of some moral stories and rituals for practice, to divert the attention of mankind from misery. In other words, they are only knowledge or recorded information, which may be harmless. The problem is the 'misery', which is the perception of operating intelligence of the fragmented state of intelligence. The operating intelligence tries to escape from this perception or to avoid misery by indulging in recitation of stories in the form of verses or prose. These bindings are inevitable as long as misery or the state of fragmentation of intelligence is resulting in chidren.
Q 40: How can the ‘culture of millions of years’ be corrected within a period of one generation?
When born, intelligence in each normal brain is independent, new, fresh and free from fragmentation. Fragmentation is just like a calibrating error of a precision instrument and it isn't carried or passed to the next generation through genes. Since every generation is unfailingly committing the same error (but in different proportions) in upbringing since millions of years, the culture (or the behaviour arising from that error) is also continuing in subsequent generations. Mankind's primary culture of brutality and violence is continuing, but with improved and sophisticated means of tools and modus operandi. If raised without the error in upbringing, even children of violent parents would surprisingly spread happiness around them. The continuing chain of errors can be broken only in this manner.
Q 41: Has this finding been proved anywhere?
The basic principle of this finding is being proved all over the world, everyday by numerous parents, by their interactions with their small children, which can be observed by any one who is keen to. We can easily detect that children generally have the average of the ‘characteristics or nature’ of their parents. Moderate parents raise moderate children and extreme natured parents are raising their children also with their extreme characteristics. If children are brought up moderately and if such scientific material is also made available to them, then they could help bring humanity back to the nature, in the smoothest and the most convincing manner. Unlike other experiments in science, it may not be possible soon to prove this discovery empirically or in a laboratory, in a few days or years for obvious reasons. . Further, the human brain is an extra ordinary natural mechanism in nature, which takes a considerably long time to grow (According to neurologists, human brain grows up to 75% by 2 1/2 years and takes nearly 7 years to grow fully and it doesn't grow thereafter.) Young, new and prospective parent can . However, parents who are serious can raise their children and prove the veracity of this finding, which will surprise them eventually. Just as numerous parents all over the world are already doing, others too can raise their children without giving any publicity.Q 42: Isn't it amounting to imposing a new theory? Should present systems and ideologies be abandoned?
So far, all theories that promised peace and prosperity have failed, only because they were unscientific and impracticable. They were imposed or prescribed by means of impressive repetitive intellectual activities that temporarily cause diversion from the perception of sorrow. Whereas, this is a finding of a fact of nature, which can be observed and verified by any one who is serious and therefore the necessity of imposing it, can't arise at all. Only those, who are serious and concerned about their children, grand children and also the future of humanity, could see the veracity and importance of this finding. The implementation of this finding can yield the verified results, even without abandoning any of the present religious, political or other intellectual ideologies by parents or elders. What more can one expect?
Q 43: Towards whom and by what means you are focusing these findings? What are the impediments you face in this task?
It is mainly focused on new and prospective parents, since primarily they expect their children to be happy, prosperous and peaceful throughout their lives. However, all adults including prospective and new grand parents also are invited, as their involvement in children upbringing can't be underestimated. It is proposed to give wide publicity about this finding through all available means including the internet. Even sponsorships are solicited from those who would like to help this venture for saving mankind from the impending doom due to 'intellectual chaos created by fragmentation of human intelligence'.
Impediments are common and usual for any project to bring change in human lives, particularly if and when a 'concrete and a fundamental change' is proposed or even guaranteed. Even to examine these findings, resistance arises from the fragmented state of mind, which feels that it will be deprived of the pleasures of the prevalent psychological state. However, what is important to note is that pleasures are necessary, only to balance the sorrow. If this formula is followed, then the children would be free from sorrow, thereby the necessity of pleasure won't arise at all.
Q 44: What is the meaning of concrete change?
Undeniably mankind has changed or progressed in several areas from medicine to computer technology, and mankind has been definitely been benefited. However, physical and intellectual exploitation, both at individual and group levels have continued or increased unabatedly. Violence and poverty have increased, despite all efforts to eliminate them. Some of the improvements or progress in tools or arms in wars for acquisition or the change of Gods or in manner of worshipping them are only peripheral and transient changes and can't be considered as fundamental changes, which can make us free from our dependence on them. A concrete change results in the elimination of the need to worship or fight wars for acquisition, while ensuring peace, prosperity and happiness to all human beings from birth to death. Concrete change means a fundamental, radical or a basic change and not the peripheral change, which is taking place so far.
Q 45: How the concrete change may appear to take place in the lives of mankind?
It is obvious that the change in human lives can't take place all over and all on a sudden, as human beings of various age, knowledge and ideology groups continue to interact differently. However, the minimum period required for ensuring a complete and a concrete change is only one generation. If all children or the majority of children or even a few children that are taking birth even from tomorrow onwards, are brought up in the intelligence dominant state, there will be apparent and significant change as they grow into adults and begin to interact all over the world more intelligently. Presently the major problem of the world is the acute shortage of intelligence dominant people, who aren't driven by their fragmentation, but are free to use the knowledge discreetly.
All human activities are guided and carried out by two components of intelligence viz., intelligence (natural) and emotion (bias or motivation due to fragmentation). The quality, naturality or accuracy of human interactions and the consequent results are presently generally distorted or affected by the emotional segment or fragmented part of intelligence. When the concrete change begins to takes place, the emotional segment will gradually diminish giving the right of way or domination of natural intelligence. For example, when the coming generation becomes 'intelligence dominant', there will be fall in the number of accidents, despite the increase in the number of cars on the road. Human beings will indulge less in 'politicking and gossiping' and spend more time in sports and games and work not for recognition or rewards, as in some countries. Stress level in people will come down and joy and happiness would increase. There won't be beggars, as there won't be exploiters. There would be factories, but they don't make arms, as there won't be apprehension of wars. New places of worship wouldn't be built, as visitors to places of worship would gradually diminish as the fear of death or gods would vanish. It may be difficult to believe that violence arises from fear (even dependence on God). Natural interaction between human beings all over the world will be easier, faster and effective, thus helping to build a natural human society free from fear of any kind.
Q 46: Can mankind be classified according to proportion of fragmentation of their intelligence? If so, how?
It has been said earlier that natural human intelligence is fragmented and depending upon which part is dominating the classification can be made as Intelligence Dominant or Emotions Dominant. Intelligence Dominant have 51% and above of the total natural intelligence and Emotions Dominant have 49% or below of the total. The latter are generally accumulative, aggressive and emotional visibly or invisibly.
Q 47: Why there is so much disparity in living conditions in Developed and Developing countries?
Irrespective of the system of governance, the state of any country or region and its leadership is generally determined by the level of intelligence of the majority of its population. It is the interactions among the majority and also the last and the least human beings, which matters since the leadership generally represents the majority. In Developed Countries, the intelligence dominant people have been in majority or at least in notable numbers. By their nature, they are reasonably fearless and fair in their interactions and who are fearless to oppose exploitation around them. In Developed countries, there are a large number of people who are reasonably stable, calm and rational in their behaviour and thinking, who cause less error in upbringing due to their nature. Whereas, in Developing Countries, the emotion dominant people are in great majority, due to high errors in upbringing and hence there is constant downward exploitation resulting in widespread poverty and violence. Sometimes, we see that highly distinguished persons of Developing Countries don't match in their caliber, with that of their counter parts in Developed Countries.
Q 48: Can Developing Countries get rid of their poverty and violence by only bringing reforms?
The percentage of poverty and violence may appear to come down in their present forms due to numerous reforms. However, it may be noted that, unless the error in upbringing is avoided or reduced, the exploitation and sufferings of people would continue, thereby needing further reforms.
Q 49: What is an intellectual mess and how it can be cleared?
Prevailing confusion in mankind on various issues can be regarded as an intellectual or knowledge related mess. In the prevalent state of fragmented intelligence, Intellect or the knowledge is not being perceived accurately, adequately, uniformly or equally in all, leading to different opinions on the same or similar issues, resulting in conflicts. Because of its fragmentation, human intelligence has a tendency to create and depend on some or the other belief or getting obsessed resulting in this intellectual mess. If there were no fragmentation of intelligence, knowledge would have been accurate in all, as amount of knowledge matters a little. Then there wouldn't have been this intellectual mess in this world.
Q 50: Why and how does the less emotional persons influence the more emotional ones?
Basically all emotions originate from illusions of insecurity. Hence, all motivated actions are aimed to become or get the feelings of security. Hence, man wants to become a leader, who imposes his will (even by sweet persuasion), rather than a teacher, who shares knowledge. More emotional persons have more illusions of insecurity and hence are influenced by the less emotional persons, who generally become leaders.
Q 51: How can we become free from the present symbols of religion and nationality? What is their future?
There
is absolutely no necessity to discard or destroy the symbols of any of the
present organizations like the buildings, statues, books, pictures, recordings
and other related items. If the coming generations are brought up in the
Intelligence Dominant State, they would preserve all these symbols as souvenirs
in museums for posterity, saying that whole mankind of the previous generations
were fighting apparently for and because of these symbols, but due to
fragmentation of intelligence. Countries and administrations would still remain,
but only the authoritarianism, competition for power and exploitation would
vanish.
Q 52: How can you briefly define history, geography, science etc to students?
Simple. History is the study of the story of mankind, with all the fighting, wars and destructions, as well as the struggle for human freedom and liberty, both physically and psychologically. Geography is the study of the regions of land masses of the world, separated by water and also of races, cultures, languages, climatic conditions, lifestyles, produces etc. Science is the study of the principles of nature both inside and around us.
Q 53: What is the capability of the Intelligence Dominant Persons and why they are unable to change the world so far?
The capability of the Intelligence Dominant Persons (IDPs) is enormous, when compared to the Emotion Dominant Persons (EDPs). Since truth is their only strength, the IDPs are very powerful and don't indulge in grouping themselves or aggressively reacting to new situations. In the present situation in the world, the IDPs are in minority and are scattered and are often unknowingly working for the EDPs, involuntarily helping the present situation to continue. This is because of the confusion caused by the present quality of knowledge, which states that the 'desires for power, pleasure, property and position are quite normal and necessary and more possession comes from more capability. The present level of knowledge also respects 'renunciation as difficult, noble, respectable and intelligent, perhaps hoping that their competitors would be reduced! Even if a few IDPs join together, they can help create an awareness about the error in upbringing. Later with the help of powerful EDPs, they can even save the world, just as Emperor Ashoka helped the spread of Buddhism all over the world. What is important to note is that both greed and renunciation are absent in the Natural State of Intelligence.
Q
54: Whose population, the
intelligence dominant or the emotions dominant people in the world, is
increasing and why?
Percentage of emotions dominant people is increasing all over the world, and particularly in developing countries. It is because, on the one hand, the emotion dominant people are unable to check the increase in their population. On the other hand, Intelligence dominant people are not begetting as many children as that of others and are also choosing to migrate to developed countries, due to increasing social problems.
Q 55: How do you grade your finding and that of JK with the teachings of other great teachers?
It can be a blunder to grade the findings or teachings of great men, who live or lived at different times in the world. Grading is done generally among contemporaries or the same class and often between various qualities of commodities. However, at the most, the teachings of great men, the teachings of JK and the findings of the present author can be termed as upgraded versions or newer generations over the older ones. We already know that hardware and software of computers are being constantly upgraded to newer versions, which are often called as newer generations. Though older generations of computers or software continue to be useful, albeit within their limitations, only those who can financially afford to buy newer versions buy and use them. Similarly, only those who can psychologically afford to understand and enjoy the newer findings or teachings shall read them and think responsibly about what they can do now to save the coming generations from misery.
Q 56: How can you classify greedy politicians as more intelligent than honest poor people?
Here the meaning of 'more intelligent' means that they are 'less emotional', and thus they have more freedom. It should be understood that neither all poor people are honest, nor all politicians are greedy. It is only the level of fragmentation of intelligence which puts every human being in his or her slot in the hierarchy of intelligence. Only when one is in the Intelligence Dominant State, one can be said to be truly harmless to the world.
Q 57: Who are you and whom do you represent in this world?
I am the intelligence and I represent all human beings, since the same intelligence or energy is operating in all living beings. I represent rich and poor, good and bad, weak and powerful, beautiful and ugly, educated and uneducated, innocent and guilty, offender and victim, reformer and incorrigible, principle and the agent, orthodox and modern and so on, as the ' I ' in everyone is the same and these characteristics vary only due to different levels of its fragmentation.
Q 58: Will this advanced finding relegate JK's finding to the second position?
There is no question of relegating JK or his teachings to the second position, as there is no competition here. Each new discovery may overtake or advance the earlier one and thus only the real progress of mankind is possible.
Q 59: Aren't these topics metaphysical?
These topics are very much physical. The discussion is only on subjects like poverty, corruption, exploitation, violence and wars and also the mind, consciousness, intelligence etc., which are very much physically present and are either visible or provable. The real metaphysical subjects like the 'next world' aren’t discussed or described by the author, as he humbly admits that he doesn't know.
Q 60: Should we try to raise our children so that they stand on their own feet or further even to care for the world?
Every parent aspires that their children must be independent. However, if they are more free psychologically, their potential would be even more, so that they can even care for the world and improve it, without falling into orthodox theories or customs.
