ABOUT THE BOOKS
THINKING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ZERO
An Intuitive Philosophy of Mind, Memory and Reality
This is an open and honest reflection of a human process that we happen to call thinking. I think there is a fundamental code of consciousness which evokes thoughts against any given circumstance or event. The person having that thought decodes it against her/his parameters, whether they are cultural, beliefs, ideologies or reward and punishment systems.
Modern medicine tells us to ‘use it or lose it’ as an exhortation to exercise. Now, at the age of 70, this seems to me to be directed at the memory and cognitive functions. This book is in- tended therefore as your mental gymnasium. At your first try, it might seem all too hard; Emma would advise you to keep going.
You will not learn anything new; that isn’t the point. What I hope you will gain is a clear recognition of our individual differences, and to cherish them.
Thinking on the other side of Zero Part 2
I am writing “Thinking on the Other Side of Zero2, Part 2, to answer the questions arising from “Thinking on the Other Side of Zero1, Part 1. I am aware of the questions a reader might have about the yoga state of Samadhi, from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Samadhi Pada, Volume13, (authored by Pandit Usharbuddh Arya, who became Swami Veda Bharati). I don’t think my diagrams of the process of consciousness, used at the end of Part 1, are sufficient to understand that fundamental process, for the simple reason that I didn’t understand the process at the time.
I can honestly say I can’t ignore this process of consciousness and the questions it raises in me. Now, with the benefit of an aspect of that process (hindsight), I need to begin by saying that what I want to explain are the relevant yoga sutras in terms of recognised physics by recognised physicists, while providing the physics (suggested by GS Srinivasan in Sankhya Karika4) in the Yoga Sutras to better explain what each has in common with the other. I will acknowledge them in the References section at the end of this book.
