Sorry for the Title Rip off H2G2... I just love referring to the series... :P
In this blog.. I just wanted to tell a story...
Once there was a God. The One! The Supreme Being...
God felt bored and lonely. So God thought of creating something. Being the supreme one with all those powers it was very easy. So the next day He created the Universe. Soon enough he got bored with the static matter. So he thought of creating life. And so he created the plants and the trees. And with lot of interest he watched them grow, flower, bear fruits and die. But the cycle being static in itself. He soon got bored of it. Then he came up with the idea of movement and he created life that could move. The animals. It was refreshing as the new creatures could move according to their will. And with amazement God watched all of them. But he had no one to share the amazement with. Soon he got lonely coz he did not have anyone to talk to. He tried talking to himself taking sides. But still because both the sides were connected internally it wasn't like talking to a separate being. It was unlike sharing with complete stranger.
So he decided to break the physical connection. And He divided himself into two. Thus were created Adam and Eve. They enjoyed the feeling of sharing and enjoyed each other's company.
But soon enough Eve being the superior half started craving for the joy she felt when she created life. Adam couldnt help it. And because both of them were equal parts of God he had to share a part of himself with Eve to create a new life. And thus the life cycle of a human being was started. And continuing the life cycle we stand today, each human containing six-millionth part God.
I submit to your analysis the story.
Considerations based on some sayings and Holy Books:
1. God created Adam and Eve. No one knows where God is since then.
2. Females have always been given a higher importance in society. And it's them who primarily know the joy of creation of life. Just like Eve knew the joy of finding the Apple.
3. God is within us.
4. To find God start from looking within urself.
5. United we stand. As more and more pieces of God come together(think similarly) for a cause they approach God in power. Prayer may just be a way of using that power.
6. Wedding is a heavenly joining of soul (because it brings together two pieces of God)
7. The larger the population the lesser is the imprint of God. His presence being overshadowed by His absence. (Remember Light and Dark from my previous post)
I have lots others but I like 7. Any guesses... Well that was the total number of days God took to decide and split Himself up... :P

Duality is Truth?? or Truth, Duality...
Dual.. a word that means two... also meaning fight.. challenge..
Truth.. What is Truth? Is truth what the fact says that it is. Or is truth what really happens. This takes me to a bigger question that comes right out of "The Matrix". What is real?
I'm still not sure what ending I want to give to this blog. But I just wanted to pen down my thoughts. Ok.. rather keyboard down my thoughts. :P
The word "Not" describes most of the things in life. Either you do something.. or you do "Not".
Darkness is nothing but "Not" of Light. It's a relative term. It's the absence of something.
Similarly Cold is absence of heat. It is relative too. -10 degrees sounds cold. But relative to -30 degrees it's warmer or hotter...
Same goes everywhere. In fact it's in the nature. Duality is all around us. Either you are the predator or you are the prey. Either you evolve or you are extinct. There are two genders. Male and Female. There's Life and there's an absence of it. Either something is or it is not. This is a very basic truth.
As I observe the world more and more I can see the concept of duality everywhere. Being a software engineer, the world these days appears to me as a huge concatenated if.. then.. else.. condition. The "if" part has the choice... "then" has the events that would unfold if you accept the choice and "else" has the events that would happen if you choose not to.
And these choices define how someone's life is going to be. Yet I see that there's a hidden element of probability. Of possibility. Of uncertainty. Of the unknown. Unknown again is simply an absence of knowledge. (which results in my derivation of my life funda of the unquenchable thirst for knowledge) The less the unknown... The more you know about the effect of the choice you make. Which is why people like to discuss things before choosing. They want to see things before buying. Find out about other person before marriage. Find out about someone before dealing with them. All to limit the unknown. And yet I find that the unknown is the most powerful element in the equation of life. Look at the universe. The absence is much larger the presence of things. There's more empty space than matter. There's more cold than heat. There's more darkness than light. So where's the duality you ask. Everywhere. Even in the truth. Either something is true or it is not(False). Yet duality in itself has no other. Do not think of singularity. Singularity is because something that is unlike it is present. Multiplicity.. Yes that exists but not as a dual to duality. Multiplicity is just a large grouping of duality.
Well this actually takes me to a new thread. Computer world is not so unlike the real world. Or rather the world we live in. The basic logics behind any program consist of the if.. then.. else conditions just like the life. Deja Vu is like the repeat twice. A few people liking the same things is like a for loop with the a random function in it. And so on... I think I would rather dedicate another entry sometime on this... For now I would rather choose "Not" to continue on this. :)
