Quelques pensées sur…

What is the difference between the Giant Buddhas of Bamian in Afghanistan, the Statues of Pharaohs in Egypt, The Statue of Liberty in New York, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Techno culture in Berlin?

In my opinion there is none. They are all a kind of Idol designed to narrate a myth of origin, a fictional re-birth, a constructed and fake historical turn over, in order to convince people to follow the same old political agenda: Everyday the richest are getting richer and the poorest poorer. Some scholars argue that the production of the Arts in a society plays a anti-revolutionary function as it can stabilize any kind of non-conformist behavior. Artist being busy to create forms and concepts, as critical as their discourse could be, still under the shadow and the dependency of a state financed cultural industry. The question of private founding being just an obvious way to give the impression that the private economy is participating to the production and promotion of culture through the support of artists, workers of the cultural industry. In fact, The State is just using private companies (or maybe the other way round) to indirectly finance the cultural industry. Companies will pay less taxes while using artists and their works to wash their dirty laundry, building a positive image for their marketing, of a company supporting the Arts no matter how many people or other natural resources they might have wiped out in the past or at the present moment.

Is History linear or circular?

We know that time is relative and that it can be curved if we manage to move in space above a certain speed between point A and point B. But even if a high speed aircraft can curve time dimension and go back in the past for 0.15 microseconds, we humans do not have the capacity to move fast enough in space dimension to create a circular loop between time and space. We would have to move at the speed of light around earth with a constant speed in an infinite motion to create a circular relationship between time and space which will eventually create a historical loop. 

What is time then? Is it a Dogma? Like when we are teached in very insidious way that our birthday is our departure point as  living beings and our physical death the end? Did anyone who is listening to my voice ever challenged this belief? Did you ever thought of another narration of your relationship to what defines your so called  life time? Do you remember how you landed on this planet? How your mind incarnated your physical body inside the body of your mother? If not then how can you be sure of where or what you were before this state of « new born »? And how can you be sure of where or what you will become during the experience of « death »?

« Death » is just a word. And Time is another one build to justify the game of Thrones. A coercive dispositive built to make us believe that our experience in the cosmos is linear: Birth to Death.

Now how can we move at the speed of light? In the physical world this might be difficult to achieve. And even if scientist might one day succeed to build an aircraft capable of moving at the speed of light, our physical body will certainly not survive to such an experience.

If we agree that we humans, are equipped with a body and a soul, with a physical body and a metaphysical body, and that more over our soul, mind, spirit or intellect is nowhere to be found inside our physical body then we need to answer to this question : 

Where is our mind?
