Cogito ergo sum....I think therefore I am....
Rene Descartes was the one who said it this
way. People have been saying it for long. In fact, the belief is so strongly ingrained that anything else is hopelessly off
mark. And that, I believe is the principal reason people look at Neuroscience suspiciously, or often just don't take it seriously.
Well....the
belief, I think, is desperately wrong. There is no I, and the I that is not there is there not because I think...but
because I am.
Confusing enough to start with. I guess it'll make sense to only a person who cares to understand...which
is enough. :)

The final aim of...evolution...might be the achievement of a state of Chaotic harmony..what I call the state
of apaxon....a harmony where everything is united into the original whole. A whole that doesn't have parts...but an extraordinary
richness that manifests itself as diversity....but which keeps in its mind the awareness of being a whole. The state
of ultimate awareness. Lets move towards it....and evolve.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The striking thing about apaxon is a complete absence of 'competition' as we know it. The whole cannot compete...theres
nothing else. Each 'part' is doing what it can, and it fits exactly where it must. There is no tussle, no strain...

Entropy, we say, is a measure of randomness. It might be a measure of harmony. The universe is evolving
towards harmony. Entropy is increasing. It is not a decrease in order, but a decrease in our theory's ability to predict it.
There is a decrease in information with respect to the context we understood reality in. That is manifested as an apparent
increase in entropy. Because the information is now potential...we can't fathom a pattern...but we think there might be one.
