10 reasons why humans are the aliens on earth

1. Everything in nature is beautiful in it’s own ways with vibrant colors, sounds and movements. Only we are monotonous and boring in the way we look, sound and move. Male animals and birds are the ones who have been created as beautiful to woo females. Only in humans are females expected to look pretty for men to woo them.

2. All animals in nature have developed camouflages, either for protection or for hunting their prey. Only humans build camouflages to hide from other humans. A Zebra’s stripes are for camouflaging it from lions and other predators, not from other Zebras. Only we do not have any natural camouflages. But the camouflages we create are not tuned to nature that’s why we can never use them to hide from animals.

3. All animals are part of the food chain in the ecosystem, only we are not. We are neither a predator nor a prey (or we are both when we decide to go hunting in the forest and gets mauled by a lion or tiger) and we are the only species in such a unique category on the planet.

4. All animals stop eating food when they are sick. They use all their body resources to fight off the disease so it does not make any sense to burden the body further with digestion of food. Only we need external nourishment from food when we are sick. When an animal falls sick, it isolates itself from it’s group so that the disease does not spread to it’s brethren. We, on the other hand seek caring and attention when we are sick which in turn spreads the disease to the people around us.

5. No wild animal gets afflicted with the diseases that we do. Back pain, cancer and all of those are extremely weird diseases. The moment we stand up on our two feet, we start going against gravity and become candidates for spinal diseases. All animals have their body fine tuned to gravity. Cancer has been found to be caused by the deficiency of Vitamin B12. Most urban people are suffering from diseases due to Vitamin D deficiency. No animal suffers from any Vitamin deficiency based diseases.

6. There is nothing unique about us that anything in nature can learn and use it for their own benefits. Rather, we have constantly observed and learned from animals and nature for our growth and evolution. Even martial art forms such as Kung Fu have been developed by observing the movements of Cranes, Snakes and Tigers among other animals.

7. Animals have evolved according to their habitat to protect themselves from the forces of nature. Polar bears have developed a black hide beneath their thick white hair. The hide conserves the heat produced from body fat and prevents it from radiating outward. Similarly all animals have developed their own means of self protection. Only we did not evolve similarly or we were not created in this way. Only we need clothes and other external methods to protect ourselves.

8. All animals consistently follow the principle of Survival of the Fittest. They have the inherent ability to understand which among their children are healthy and can procreate successfully when they grow up. The rest have to die. That’s why birds push their chicks out the nests after they grow up to a certain point. The ones that cannot fly should fall down and die. In this way, all animals ensure that defective genes and diseases are not passed on to future generations. Only we defy this rule and protect our children because of which we have all become unhealthy due to defective genes.

9. In Indian folklore, the legendary poet Kalidasa was an illiterate woodcutter in his younger days and he was once found cutting the same branch of a tree on which he was sitting. This is exactly what we are doing with nature. We are destroying nature to build our homes, the same nature that sustains and nourishes us. No other animal displays this behaviour. Animals use what is available in nature and adapt to changes in nature for their survival and existence. No being in nature has been given the ability to destroy the very environment it is part of.

10. Finally, animal senses are all attuned to nature and our planet. Animals sense geological changes such as natural disasters in advance and move to safer places. Apes and Chimpanzees also have this ability, so if we evolved from them naturally, why did we lose it? If we were created from apes or from early hominids, was this ability removed from us? If yes, why?

To add to this,

Every animal in the ecosystem have a particular season or time when they procreate and that is the only time they become sexually active and mate. The female ovaries of all animals are able to hold the male sperms for a long time after mating. Only humans do not have any mating seasons. Human ovaries do not have the capability to store male sperms. There is no sex in the animal world, that term is applicable only for humans. Ovulation and menstruation cycles with such complexity exists only in humans in the mammal world and does not even exist for other animals. How did it evolve to such an advanced level only in humans? If the reasons were because of changes in nature, why did the same adaptation not happen in other mammals?

The incredible secrets of astrology

Astrology is an integral part of Hindu life in India and probably of Hindus all over the world. Hindu culture is steeped in numerous Gods, temples, worship and mythological stories; in fact Hindu culture is so old that it has become a way of life. It is a mighty challenge to live in a country which is the most multicultural land in the world. Most aspects of Hindu culture are not comprehensible and sometimes we end up making fun of them in certain situations. When I traveled to Netherlands and returned to India after 6 months, my mind started asking questions about my life and everything in it in India.

It was during this time that my parents were trying to get me hitched. It all starts from matching the horoscope of mine with that of a woman. I was extremely apprehensive about the entire process. Astrology is all about mathematical calculations and mistakes can happen during calculations. An astrologer had almost screwed up a marriage proposal a friend had received. I was actually putting the most important decision of my life and my future in the hands of people whom I have never known before. That was the time when I decided to understand astrology better. I didn’t start learning astrology as such but I wanted to understand the background of astrology. There was a time till not so long ago when parents used to fix up marriages and the boy and girl used to see each other only on the first night of their union. There had to be some way to match the boy’s and girl’s personalities. What I wanted to know was about the parameters that are used in astrology to check for compatibility. One specific aspect caught my eye. From the horoscopes it can be found out if the lifespans of the boy and the girl would be affected if they were brought together in marriage. It struck me immediately. Energy and vibrations. Too much attraction or repulsion of energy can be catastrophic to one person or both. Then I realized that astrology is all about energy. In astrology it can even be checked if two people are sexually compatible. This is advanced science. But how is it possible? Big Data and Predictive Analytics, the current raging storm in technology has been quietly working in astrology for thousands of years. Patterns have been established by observing people’s lives and predictions are made from these patterns. For example, Jupiter in 8th house indicates high probability of incarceration which is proving to be true for people.

To make a horoscope, the essential components are date, time and location. Based on these factors, the positions of sun, moon and other planets in the solar system are calculated and from this data, their influence on each person’s life can be inferred. This points to a specific question. Are we born randomly or are we born on a specific date at a specific time in a specific location?  Ancient texts indicate that Gods incarnated on earth under these specific parameters and the heavenly bodies were aligned in such a way as to be helpful in fulfilling their purpose of incarnation. If this is true, aren’t we also born in the same way? All of us have unique experiences in life and not all of us get Jupiter in the 8th house. What does all of this mean? Karma in our present and past lives. Lord Rama killed a monkey king by deceit and Lord Krishna gets killed by an arrow from a hunter who happened to be the monkey king in one of his past lives. This is all about some sort of celestial accountability. No karma, be it good or bad goes unnoticed. We have to fulfill our karma in present life and also account for karma in our past lives for which we have to be born under certain conditions.

But one question bothered me. Why are we born under the influence of celestial bodies? Why doesn’t their influence affect the animal world? There could be only one reason. The frequency of energy of human beings is tuned to the frequency of energy received by earth from other celestial bodies. This means we are created specifically in this way which would mean that Mother Nature did not create us. This is why we are not part of the food chain. This is why we are destroying nature, a behavior that no other animal exhibits. Add to this the concepts of karma and rebirth. It is said that our souls are cleansed before it is proceeds to afterlife. This must mean that our memories and effects of celestial bodies are erased before we are reborn. Maybe this is why we do not have memories from our past lives but we still have to deal with karma from those lives without remembering about them. The influences celestial bodies bring to each person’s life is clearly connected to their karma which is why different people encounter success and failure in their lives in unique ways. Isn’t this a system put in place to manage and monitor us? Birth, life, death, and the cycle goes on and on. Aren’t we prisoners in the system? Is this the Matrix we are all stuck in and saints like Sankaracharya supposedly escaped from? What is the purpose of the system? Is this a model that works for beings with higher intelligence all across the Universe? Or is this a model experimented on us so that it can be replicated to the worlds of other intelligent beings? Most importantly, aren’t we the aliens on our planet?

Whatever it may be, nothing happens by chance or accident in the cosmos. There is a specific reason associated with every event. Research suggests that we make friends based on how closely our DNA resembles theirs. There must be a reason why out of the billion people on earth, we know only a few hundreds and very few of those hundreds end up as our good friends. I met a girl when we were both 6 years old and as we grew up I started feeling that if I let her go away from my life I may never find anyone else again. That’s exactly what happened. Intuition? Connection from a past life? I may never know. All I have with me is a haunting feeling that there is some sort of connection with her. What’s worse, our horoscopes may have matched perfectly well.

Questions were twirling in my mind after I returned from Netherlands. No astrology exists there but life is better by a 100 times. Don’t celestial bodies affect people there? I realized later that they do. The differences I observed have been created by us only. India is bursting at her seams with population growth. It is impossible for social benefits to reach all people. Everything is controlled and managed in Netherlands so there is prosperity. But this doesn’t mean celestial bodies and karma have no bearing on their lives. They simply don’t know enough about all of it to consider their influences in their everyday life. The system works precisely everywhere. Different skin color, races, religions, castes, the system keeps us divided perpetually so that we are chasing our lives all the time and never get to even know that a system that controls us is in place. Who runs this show? Would be fun to exit the system and meet the Great Manipulator.

 

Dissecting first impressions and their consequences

I ran into the article in the below link and looks like the objective of the author is to sabotage the adage “First impression is the best impression”.

https://www.strategy-business.com/article/Why-First-Impressions-Are-Often-Wrong

First impressions do not make any significant impact about any person or situation in my mind. Forming first impressions are fine as long as we are not going to have relationships of any significance with those people. If we are going to have even a conversation with someone once, it is better not to be judgmental about that person based on first impression and look forward to the conversation with an open mind.

What we need to understand is that we are all connected at the cosmic level. Doppelganger effect is not an accidental phenomenon. There should be a reason why 9 people in the world look similar to each other. Our human forms must be getting created from a finite number of templates. There isn’t anything to be surprised at this. Tigers all look the same, so do Zebras. What differentiate them are their stripes which are unique, just like our finger prints. So there are common and differentiating factors among all species in the Universe. I had read a long time back that when a man looks at a woman, he is not simply admiring her physical appearance. He is trying to figure out how fertile she is. When a woman looks at a man, she is trying to see if he has the characteristics to become a good companion. Both are results of nature at work. What the man does ensures that procreation happens and our species survives. What the woman does ensures that her children get the attention, protection and nurturing of their father. All of this happens in the first look itself but we are unaware of it because that’s how our body is designed to function.

We do not really need to strive to create first impressions about people we come across. We have those features designed within us already. Our hormones attract or repel hormones from other people which help to set the comfort levels we have with people we see. Our eyes are said to be the mirrors to our souls. What we think and feel will reflect in our eyes. This is why poker players train to have “poker eyes” so that their eyes do not reveal what their next move would be. Research studies indicate that we tend to look towards the left side when we are recounting straight from our memory and towards the right side when we are putting together a series of events and explaining a situation. This is used to identify if someone is lying and forging facts during interrogations. The firmness of the hand’s grip is an indicator of self-confidence and the confidence one has in the other person. Drooping shoulders, bent spine, fiddling fingers all are indicators of lack of confidence. How we judge people is also based on our own personality, upbringing, the environment we grew up, the type of people we normally associate ourselves with and societal influences such as skin color, race, caste, religion and so on. There are numerous parameters we use to analyze a person in a single look. But everything in this world is situational. Any or all of the indicators could also be false flags because that person is not able to be himself due to circumstances. This is why first impressions could be misleading.

I believe there is something more innate about us which is beyond our comprehension. For those who believe in rebirths and reincarnations (of which I am a firm believer), we also have the ability to know who are the right people and who are not either from our relationships or through our experiences of dealing with people in our past lives. What we are experiencing and feeling through our lifetimes are also data in the cosmos and this data should be existing somewhere from where we can reuse it. All of these could be contributing factors when we form those impressions about someone in milliseconds. This could be what we call as gut feeling or intuition. Love at first sight is one possibility. It could also be that our body is going into self-alert mode to ward off potential threats.  I read in an article that we usually bond with people whose genetic structure resembles more closely to ours. There is simply too much that we do not understand about our anatomy and body functions. Forming first impression is not a one dimensional activity. There are too many parameters involved to draw conclusions based on just the concept of physiognomy.

A shameful murder and disgraceful soul shaming

India is aghast and agitated over the cold blooded murder of noted journalist Gauri Lankesh. I am coming across many theories being put forward as the motives for her murder. That she was staunchly allied towards the left and was extremely critical of right wing ideologies. That she was also in the process of hunting down the nefarious activities of some business houses and was planning to bring their veiled secrets to light. Looks like she was fighting battles on many fronts simultaneously.

It does not seem like she was killed for political vendetta. Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela were incarcerated as political prisoners when they could have been easily bumped off. Reasons for assassinations run much deeper. When a friend and ex-colleague informed me a few months back that he had got in touch with some people in Bangalore who were working to start a union for IT employees in the state and the state IT minister was actively taking interest in resolving issues of employees who were being fired by IT companies, I immediately grew apprehensive. How was it that no IT union was formed for so many years? How did IT companies manage to come under the Shop and Establishments act under which they could hire and fire people at their will? These IT companies must definitely be funding political parties especially during elections so I told my friend not to have any expectations from the IT minister. He eventually washed his hands off claiming there were only performance based layoffs and he had no control over it. He cannot be blamed though. He is just a pawn in a system that is designed to work in specific ways for specific purposes and entities. Politicians are just the front men who clear all the hurdles for the corporate to set up and expand their business interests. Political equations change and politicians come and go so there are no long term interests in any particular politician big enough to order a hit on noted and well known people, that too a senior journalist on their behalf.

Corporate gets into elimination mode only when there is an imminent threat to their existence and sustenance. Gauri must have got her hands on to something extremely sensitive and damaging and if she did, she may have been warned enough to let it go and stay low. A case in point here is Arvind Kejriwal. He had made quite a few sensational revelations about businessmen in the past but never backed them up with enough proof. Now he has gone on silent mode and is working wholeheartedly on developing and improving Delhi. I do not know if commonsense prevailed on him and he decided to focus on governance or he was warned off to not pursue his expose agenda.

Left leaning ideologies seem to have their roots in their comrades attaining martyrdom to strengthen and further their cause. There is a movie (Red Wine) in my native language (Malayalam) about a social worker who works for the betterment of tribal people and is warned off from interfering in a business proposal to build a resort on forest land which he brushes off with disdain. The business tycoon is shown telling his people that the social worker belongs to the firebrand category of leftist leaders who can never be swayed from his chosen path, even with the threat of death. The only way to move forward is by eliminating him. Looks like Gauri belonged to the same firebrand category and because of her left leaning tendency she was probably never afraid of death as she knew she would be honored and remembered as a martyr by the people and the journalist community. Maybe she should have chosen a wiser path of discretion and bided for the right time, but none of us including her supporters and detractors have lived her life to judge her and make comments. She knew what she was doing, what she was up against and what could possibly come her way. I wish all of us could become a bit more sensitive and would not resort to stooping low and shaming someone even after her death. Those who are claiming to be the protectors of Indian culture are not doing themselves any good or to the country by abusing her unabashedly.

In her death, she has once again proved that there are no weapons more powerful and scary than the pen and an iron will. Amen to her soul.
