Faith Illusion, Piggyback Ride

Music is always good; a loving talk is always good. But a deceptive message can always be passed through music from one person to another, without donor or receptor knowing it. Bollywood, Sufi songs are example.  A bad message always makes a piggyback ride on some other instrument which goes straight to reptilian subconscious brain (so called heart, it recognizes something is comfortable, it must be good) directly. All the main doors are closed for enemy, so enemy will either come from some buried tunnel or with a friend whom u trust. We human beings have learned to recognize enemy coming with main door. But piggyback continues and is main source of illusion. Music and soothing words are so deceptive, with their weakening and wrong messages. Islam is example; wrong message is planted by parents at very early age about Mohammed, Quran. Guy never reads Quran but he is two hundred % confident about its holiness, because it has been said by his good hearted elders, parents. Quotes have been selectively explained. Bible is example, stupid talk of Church becomes soothing with Choir, Band and soothing words to those who are in pain(mind it that all of us have pain all the time, if not our own than we are concerned about pain of someone else and here is how the untruth makes justification, it heals the painful feeling). It’s like virus. Even donor never knows. We humans inherit all the illusion which is having a piggyback ride since brain first developed in sea animals. 

In the same way corruption spreads in India. Sense of stupid satisfaction and karma is similar virus in Hindus. 

In same way one can be upset for no reason. One can be angry for no reason. One can torture himself for no reason. Even Buddha did not understand it.  

A good message, told in normal way will mostly not make it, that's how People like Pat, Bill, Richard or Sam fail to make road into heart of opponents, they simply don't have the power which the mother and father of a Muslim kid had when kid was may be 2-10 years.

It would be nice to become Muslim once, and watch all the process. (the best way to fight virus is to inject small amount of dead virus and observe, the way anti-biotic works). 

Once illusion has set in, become habit, it is very difficult to get away. Amount of effort rational brain needs to make is always multiple times larger, may be thousands times, than the easy ride through which it comes. If someone questions our illusion, we become angry, it is so painful to wean away. Most people take their subconscious brain as themselves, their ego. They get angry. Their anger is justified as they are really angry, and in pain. In case of cigarette we question, but most of other illusions we never question. 

If there are 100 people, all doing same mistake, same illusion, u can never see the illusion. If there are 10 people involved in one illusion, other 90 can see the brain of 10 has something wrong with it. Most of illusions survive because all 100 in herd are suffering from same illusion and the group doesnot accept the opinion of other groups, survival instinct, ego. 

In western world, antibiotic set in form of scientific revolutions. They discredited Christianity, but still it didn't go much beyond that.  

We know about religious illusions of Hinduism because there was a road into brain of Hindus, Hindu people changed their belief randomly. I think strength of Hindu culture lies in ability to change. There are people who were talking about it, and we were not taught to hate them. But here also are people who are defiant.  Habit of self-criticism had set in quite early, with limited tools available, I will say Buddha, Sankara, Kabir, Nanak they did great job. 

West in most cases focused on mechanics and machines. There are hundreds of form of illusion, Religion is just one of them. People like Swamy Vivekand, Upnaishada attempted into them, to unshackle human potential.

Islam will offer very large resistance to change, most probably, it can explode or implode before it changes, or it can swallow every human before imploding, so deep are the hatred for logic set into the brain of Muslims. Illusion has made them so weak that at the drop of hat their faith is insulted and to safeguard this faith they will be more hateful to others. 

As Richard Dawkins puts it about a Catholic group procession in France: It looks lovely, inoffensive and gentle, but is not it beginning of that slippery slope? That leads to young men with rucksack bomb on the body exploding themselves. Candlelight music, important sign languages. Assault on senses appeals us not to think, not to doubt not to probe. If we can retain our faith against the evidence, in the teeth of reality, more virtuous we are. 

An intellectual question. Would anyone have cared about Illusion of Islam if it had not bred the terror? 

Our room is full of zombies, few were caught because they started jumping on the bed, others have maintained silence since times immemorial.
