Can I Dare not to Die?

Quest for Immortality: 
From the Fear to Die or from the Fear to Live? 

Death has always been a mystery throughout human history. It has even been the undefeatable enemy. Religions, philosophy and science have attempted to unroll   what is behind death. We have formulated concepts that we do not actually die but we continue to live in resurrection or in rebirth in different forms of life. These concepts had the underlying principle that there is something in us that will not die. Different times it took different names as soul, person, self, consciousness etc though each of them held specific connotations. In the post modern era we have reached the understanding that what we feel, think or express is all from our body. Science also made its efforts to attain immortality   for the body and   has succeeded at least in investigating different possibilities of immortality.  Though death is a reality to be faced we do not know what it exactly is. So we have changing concepts regarding death and immortality. It is discovered that the deep quest within us to have immortality is a neuro-phenomenon within the human constitution. As the science progresses we may have access to immortality. One of those ways we pass into long life is through permanent juvenalisation. Since brain has a lot to do with our thinking feeling and deciding and whatever makes us a person preservation of brain is another way we access immortality. As the machine becomes integral part of our personal   lives we have assistance of technology also for making us immortal. We must reflect what our achievable immortality could mean to us personally and socially.
 Along with our attempt to be immortals what we require is a perspective; daring to live our contingency. If we are ready to do that we prove that we can live here in freedom even if we are to die.

Good Evils: Soul making process given from God

Why there is evil and suffering? We may have asked it ourselves. What was the reflection we arrived at after a while? Different approaches would depend upon how we understand goodness especially based on our view of the world and God. Often definite nature is given to evil and accordingly we understood different sources of evil. Such identification of source of evil has led us at times to condemn the world, our own body and our very existence. Faced with the situation we also have to see the purpose of evil; mainly as seen a punishment.

Can we begin to understand the problem of evil from a different perspective which would give much more meaning to our lives? Individually and collectively we feel the brokenness of the world which was and which is of tomorrow. Not only that we bear the choice of a defective will in the past but we also enjoy the fruit of the goodwill of people live whenever in time. Seeing thus evil is not a burden but an invitation to responsibility to a mutual building. After trying to give answer in every way that we take to blame is God. When we take up the above consideration God too take His place within or although the unified history of sorrows and joys taking due responsibility and enabling humankind to grow. When we think of the meaning of evil it has to do with the degree of making possible of certain forms of life, or equally of certain individuals considered concretely. Being with and within another being is very important if we want to carve beauty out of evil. Evil is something ‘being given’ to us to shoulder it with gratitude especially when one is unable to contain it alone. One may be able to take up every evil getting into the being of another but how it is possible when someone suffers death? I try to bring alive what his/her death makes absent. This would be the call to the humankind in the face of evil: do everything in remembrance of the abundance of goodness in every being – created and uncreated - which the shadows of evil covers for some time.

AN ECORESPONSIBILITY FOR HUMAN GENOME

AN ECORESPONSIBILITY FOR HUMAN GENOME

A  BRIEF INQUIRY INTO OUR RESPOSIBILITY TO   CREATE  AN  EPIGENETIC ENVIRONMENT

We come to know that it is not just the atomic radiation that makes changes in the genome but the elements in the very air that we breathe can affect the expression or repression of our genes and it can eventually be passed on to next generations. One of the fastest advancing areas of research in toxicological sciences is the study of epigenetic pathways that are involved in chemical-induced alterations in the development and function of biological systems. So along with studying what is Epigenetics and varied environmental influence on our epigenome this is an attempt also to reflect  what is our responsibility individually and collectively not only to our own genes- or our own  generation but to the generations to come.(Click on the title or the picture to go to the article)
