Habitual Hero: The Art Of Winning by Santosh Jha (top 10 best books of all time txt) 📕

procrastinated layer is not fruitful. Once you miss the chance of availing simple and easy solution through innocence and instead, instead putting ahead your dualistic consciousness to deal with the trouble, it creates a spectrum of behavior and actions your dualistic minds prescribes as ‘right and essentially imminent’.

In that state of conflicting mind-consciousness, either you block the straight and short road to solution or you take a diversion to long and complicated road to nowhere. We all prefer ‘diversions’, as facing the trouble with ‘innocence’ needs loads of bravery of forgiveness and compassion of hearts. It is not easy to be brave.

Usually, people use the easy and comforting tool of their dualistic consciousness to deal with a problem as primary trouble-shooter. This is primarily because they are used to and familiar with their ‘intelligent cultural mind’ handling situations for them in most matters. They have won success, using this ‘intelligent art’ in the past. Naturally, it is a preference.

This dualistic mind offers the consciousness with loads of freaky emotions as options. You have insecurity, ego, anger, old memories in subconscious, previous icons, fear, threat, prejudice, profit-loss judgment, etc, etc as shades available to color your choice as solution to a specific problem at hand.

If we are used to putting our intelligence first and relegating innocence as cushion or secondary option, at times even when we opt to present innocence as first option, the subconscious mind, adapted to intelligent mechanisms, suitably colors even this innocence and the solution naturally skips and slips out of the hand. There are real innocent people who often present their innocence ahead but as an ‘intelligent art’. This fails them, especially in personal and relationship troubles.

It is like people saying, ‘Honesty is the best policy’. This actually is the ‘colored innocence’ and cultural-face of an ‘intelligent art’. The moment honesty is presented and accepted as a ‘policy’, it is offered not to innocence but intelligence, which uses even honesty as an emotion with intelligent artistry. The honesty actually is relegated behind as secondary virtue and intelligence of profit-loss calculation becomes primary, as is mandatory for all ‘policy-decisions’.

Using innocence as primary virtue for trouble solution is no ‘policy’; it is not an art. It is just a simple and easy positioning. Like honesty, it is a way of being. The only true way!

The words surely cannot describe the difference between innocence as a ‘policy’ and innocence as a ‘positioning’. Non-dualism is not an artistry of words and mind. It is a long, cherished and tough process to arrive at and then be in the perpetuity of a position, which becomes the one and only singular objective consciousness.

The habitual hero shall understand and accept this dualism and conflict of innocence and honesty as ‘policy’ and ‘positioning’. He or she shall make distinction between the two choices for all goodness and wellness decisions of life and living. That is why, he or she is a habitual hero!

Let Egoistic Identities Be Compassionate

There are lot many things we all cannot definitively say with utmost conviction that they are the right ones. This is almost a classical position because, we all accept that wisdom and knowledge is no static entity. It is an evolutionary and dynamic thing and the consciousness of a human being is too negligibly and insignificantly small and immaterial to have a good grasp of this colossal dynamism.

Still, this acceptance and larger wisdom apart, it has to be accepted that almost everyone has this feeling at one time or another, or probably perpetually too that what he or she knows is the right thing. The reality remains that whichever approach or perspective we accept as the right one; we tend to believe and accept all those answers, which this accepted approach throws for us as the right one. The consciousness mechanism has been designed this way.

For example, a person who has faith and acceptance that religion and spirituality is the right approach for looking at the realism, he or she would tend to largely believe and accept that religion and spiritualism alone must have all true and right answers of all major or small questions of life and living. This is our mechanism and design.

Now, those believing and accepting that secular scientific knowledge of cosmic realism is the right one, shall feel the same way. ‘What is received as real is what is accepted as real’. There can be many approaches and perspectives for looking at the realism. There are different shades and colors of consciousness and different perspectives of realism that these shades lead humans to. Everyone sticks to its choices, which seems a conscious one but has a precarious mix of the subconscious mind positioning.

Somehow, as humanity now has a good measure of knowledge about working of human brain and the resultant consciousness, it is established that the brain is the real hero or culprit in making this happen. If human brain accepts a certain framework or point of reference for the validity and acceptance of a broad value-summation, it would unconsciously lead the human mind to accept all other smaller things under the same framework or point of reference.

This mind-mechanism leads to a human consciousness in an individual where if he or she accepts religion and faith as the broad framework, he or she would innately and subconsciously tend to see every other smaller issues, events, problems, life and living choices as something essentially as compatible to his or her religious framework.

The important point is, is it right? Well, this question again shall have to be processed by a mind, or a mindset, which has been colored and inclined to a particularly ‘preferred’ framework or point of reference. The answers would never be easy and singular.

There looks like two key questions in such a state where there is a conflict, dualism and pluralism of answers about one question. The first is:

Can we say that it is always profitable in such a state not to be bogged down by a fixed or fixated singular mindset and allow equal or at least equitable importance to all possible viewpoints and frames of reference?

Can we say that, it seems, different frameworks or points of reference may co-exist and prevail simultaneously still, particular issue, event, problem or choice may ideally be better handled by one single framework? Some troubles the faith can handle better and still other trouble may be exclusively assigned to medical science or the brain outlook?

If this is interpreted at mind or consciousness level, the problem can be better understood. The human brain mechanism has essentially been designed for ‘self’ and works instinctively for individual survival and excellence. It accepts even the collective and societal checks and balances in terms of self’s survival and excellence. That is why; its value-summation usually is individualistic.

The human brain has the innate mechanism to process all sensory inputs in the subjective iconic reference framework of individual’s personalized value system. That is why; human mind would usually prefer personal ideas to collective wisdom.

To ensure that all humans have consciousness, which is conducive and inclined towards a peaceful and co-exiting collectivity, it looks right and desirable that the above two questions have an answer in affirmative.

It is observed that almost all societies, where tolerance and respect for plurality is high, it has invariably ensured very high individual freedom and level field for excellence of all. It is a very practical idea that an individual’s own freedom and individuality is best ensured where and when he or she is part of a strong and powerful collective believing in and practicing plurality. A strong collectivity is the best guarantee of liberalized individuality.

The other practical part, as we have been continuously talking about is the process of dualism of consciousness finally evolving into a non-dualistic consciousness. We all can start with one belief and then grow to assimilate all other beliefs and as everyone in the collectivity does so, there shall be an evolution where a singular and non-dualistic consciousness may evolve. In the past, human civilizations have done this.

If hydrogen and oxygen remain compartmentalized and egoistically exclusive to each other, there can never be water, the lifeline of humanity. The water has molecules of both but it is neither hydrogen nor oxygen. It is a singular and non-dualistic evolution of dualistic entities, which finally evolved to shed their dualistic consciousness to merge into one.

Let there be water, let there be non-dualistic mergers and union, let water flow everywhere so that humanity survives and thrives. Let dualistic and egoistic identities be compassionate and affectionate enough to rise above ‘preferred’ mindsets and ‘fixated’ framework of references, let there be only a non-dualistic consciousness for larger humanity.

Resurrection: Compassion Within Initiates Facilitation

The cultural mind, engendering a very subjective consciousness is a huge facilitator. However, it also is the chief inhibitor of objective consciousness, which is a cardinal positioning for unraveling of a majorly crucial spectrum of wisdom. This is life at its complicated best. That is why, the importance of acceptance of pluralistic mind consciousness.

Human brain is a mega facility. However, one needs to understand its beautifully complex mechanism to begin the journey towards the rainbowish wisdom available for all humanity. The brain is a huge facilitator but then, one must learn to master it to extract from it the ‘requisite’ facilities of seemingly contrasting and dualistic nature.

This same cultural mind an consciousness is a great inhibitor when it comes to excellence in another, probably alternate realms of life and living like, love, intimacy, compassion, humility, emotional poise, conflict solution, spiritualism etc. In one word, this cultural mind is poorly positioned to handle all matters of life that are intangible, mystical and intricately causal or broadly a-causal, soft and immeasurable.

For example, a culturally superior mind consciousness would make you socially a star and popular but it would be a big flop and calamitous when it comes to intimacy and affection. The simple reason is, the ‘cultural mind’ is basically the cortex part of your brain which processes emotions that are culturally assigned.

However, as science has now established, when you are in love and complete intimacy, the cortex part of your brain stops working. You are then left with a consciousness, which is almost alien to you. Alternatively, you are simply at loss.

There is another shade of consciousness within your mind that handles love and intimacy well and it is surely not ‘cultural’. However, we are in the habit of handling everything with our cultural consciousness and that is why, we fail as a big stupid when in the domain where cultural mind’s value summation is not required.

The modern cultural environment is so strong and impactuous that it almost completely covers up our consciousness and lands us in very poor subjectivity of mind. Often, this subjectivity is so pronounced and over-empowering that it enters the consciousness into the prohibited and scary zone of ‘psychosis’.

Experts are concerned, more and more people are entering this scary space fast. We have created a living environment and culture which is a huge factory producing ‘psychotic’ consciousness in bulk!

Then, there is this mega domain of spiritualism and mystical space where this cultural consciousness is actually a big burden for the start of a journey towards wisdom. This very subjective cultural mind is useless garbage, as this domain needs an objective mind consciousness.

The cyclic trouble is; the cultural consciousness creates loads of conflicts and chaos for the person in social space and this hugely off-balances the individual poise and sense of wellness. The psychosis creeps in. The person then rushes to the individual space of consciousness, in search of the missing wellness and poise. In the individual space too, as he or she is used to, the person applies his or her cultural mind and then invites ‘psychosis’ to completely cover up his or her entire consciousness. This is almost the dead end for a mind!

Both science as well as religion-spiritualism says, “Objectivity for humanity is impossible as the very subjective consciousness melts the objectivity.” They warn, “The
