Mind of my Stroked Brain

I was recently in the middle of a conversation/ discussion/ debate. The key point was many if the well known books by well regarded people/ gurus/ wise folks whatever you wish to know them as. The point was - most of the time (generally speaking), these books are very wise, practical, informative for upwards of 90% of the book and there is usually about 10% of the content which is leaning towards miracles/ fantastical stuff/ unbelievable things. For rational and practical thinkers, this 10% is hard to digest and invariably the whole book (although most of it is very good) gets discredited because of this 10%. Why do wise folks include this content and lose the rational followers? The counter argument was very simple - folks who experienced these things and write about it don't really care wether some folk believe it or not. It is real/ true as far as they are concerned. The discussion went all over the place from senses, perception, meditation, siddis, chakras, etc. It was an inter

It was quite warm today. It's getting to end of March and summer well and truly has set in.  I don't know what everyone is fighting about with global temperature rise to be kept below 1.5⁰c. it feels like a lot more than that already. I usually sit out on the wheelchair in the family room at 4:00pm. We have a pedestal fan near where I sit and by the time I get there, someone would have already switched it on. Today, it was not switched on. The usual breeze was missing. There was no natural breeze either. Normally, there is a good breeze from the balcony owing to the height we are in. Today it was very still. I remember when I was in the hospital 3 years ago. Everyone was so troubled by the heat when I was not feeling anything... Wait a minute. It was warm today! That means the bulb of my thermometer - which was blown, is slowly getting fixed. New mercury is being replenished! 🙂 Now I know its going to be gradual and very slow. But the needle has started to move. 3 years! I thi

We all normally have 5 senses. Thats how we perceive the world. The mind uses the senses to interpret the world. We only know everything because we are taught that way. Ex. We all agree something is red because we are taught that way. If everyone is asked to rate the depth of that colour from 1 to 100 ,they would all be different. A colour blind person will be way off. Everything is the way it is because everyone agrees not because its true but because there is consensus. I went in this thinking because, My eyesight isnt ok. The combined image formed is nonsense. My ability to smell is very diminished and damaged. Cant rely on it, i know because , when others are complaining of something, i wont even be getting the smell. I dont even have to start about my toungue and taste. While left ear seems ok, right ear is stone deaf and a constant high pitched shrill noise playing constantly. My sense of feel is unique. Ive realised i can only feel movement and not actual touch. Ex, if someone
